Director Wang's kid got into a fight and hit his head! They've already carried him to the hospital!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For real? Bro, you sure you didn't hear wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kid from Director Wang's household was the pride and joy of Manager Yang and his wife. Around here he could easily be called a little tyrant—who'd have the nerve to mess with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, a worker who had just gotten off his shift nearby couldn't help but click his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, news couldn't be kept inside the compound, especially at the lane entrance. Before long, under the locust tree at the lane mouth, a cluster of young women and housewives, mixed with some just-off-the-clock workers, gathered with bowls in hand and started gossiping. Every so often they cast meaningful glances toward An Ning's yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a young man in a blue jacket and worker's cap spoke up: \"Hey, what do you think—now that this happened, could this mess up Jiang Sister-in-law and Director Wang's situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's hard to say. They were about to get married, and now this happens. Who knows what kind of trouble that'll cause!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man beside him clicked his tongue too, then couldn't help peeking toward the yard: \"Poor Jiang Sister-in-law, though. A woman raising three kids with no steady job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet these people were practically itching to go help her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the gossip got seedier, a plump auntie holding her bowl finally couldn't stand it and spat coldly in their direction: \"What's with you lot? Saying things like that—are you really hoping something bad happens to them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bah, what nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of men felt a bit awkward, but after a short silence they went back to their lively gossip, punctuated by the occasional scolding from the women nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally the system fell completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, who said most people were honest back then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things were not yet at their worst!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the gossip on the other side, An Ning wasn't bothered: \"When are people not people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think most of the people you saw before were decent because your host at the time had money and power, because they had value others needed, and a decent status,\" the system replied. Otherwise, a woman without support and without great ability—when in history has her situation gotten better?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being prettier only made things worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her previous life she couldn't remember many details, but there was an old period film she had watched that stuck with her: The Blue Kite. After seeing it she had spent that whole night chilled to the bone. The earlier era had left her with a heavy shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't talk about most people—if even a few malicious people targeted someone, it could bring utter disaster to that person...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the noisy chatter outside, An Ning curled up on the bed, chewing a sweet osmanthus candy while sneaking another look at the commotion next door through the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small single ward was already packed with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the adults looked grim, especially Manager Yang and his wife at the front. Wang Ming De, the boy's father, wore a sallow, bluish-black expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On closer inspection there was a faint look of humiliation hidden there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once lively Wang little brat now lay on the bed pale as death, his bell-like eyes glaring fiercely at the person beside the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the boy's eyes, An Ning quickly made out the other's condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A... seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ning was taken aback, then used the system to examine the girl more closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a fashionable rose-red wool coat, a neat sweater underneath, and brand-new leather shoes. For this era, she could be called exquisitely stylish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, her family must be well off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she looked somewhat roughed up, with scrapes and blood on her face and hands, her features were delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, she had no connection to the Wang family from An Ning's past life, and her gaze wasn't friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine—important thing was the original owner didn't know her either, so An Ning immediately crossed out the option that this was her mother's romantic rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to keep watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when asked about the incident, the girl flushed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the wounds on her face, she shot back at everyone with a red face: \"What are you talking about? Don't flatter yourselves—I could never fancy him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearly thirty-year-old old man? Pah. As if she'd be interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't say more, but everyone present, including the Yang elders, were shrewd enough to catch the implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah—she's not a cheap son-in-law's loose woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yang couple's faces changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did this mean—after beating their precious grandson, he still wasn't good enough for her as a son-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's not this young lady she dislikes, why go over to their grandson and stir up trouble, fan the flames—what are you playing at?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they treating their precious grandson like a puppet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe Old Meng is dissatisfied with his role as factory manager and wants to take his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ming De thought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the contempt on the other person's face, Director Wang couldn't help but laugh angrily: \"Comrade Meng, you claim you look down on a country bumpkin like me, Wang Ming De, but you keep trying, time and again, to sabotage my marriage. When you couldn't succeed, you flew into a rage and beat my son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Comrade Meng, breaking up others' marriages and inciting assault—don't tell me you did it just for fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he smiled on the surface, a hint of ferocity flickered in Wang Ming De's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he finally realized this person was dangerous. Under the increasingly hostile gazes around him, Meng Yu instinctively shrank back and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't noticed—or perhaps hadn't realized—that by this man's words, the situation had shifted from \"a fight\" to one-sided \"beating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Meng Yu craned his neck and looked outside: \"By the way, Uncle Yang, hasn't my dad come yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ning, peeking secretly: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system, full of question marks: \"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-06-05T19:58:32.827Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ad821361a6c9661a1eef1d5414f6b663266b493f5e2ed5b772ed3eb61f436ec","the-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-chapter-526","the-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-chapter-524",633,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-cover.jpg"]
