Scumbag Chapter 135 The Reformed White-Eyed Wolf General (1)

"My lord, please save young mistress! She is very sick and is about to die…!" Mingting was on horseback when a maidservant-like girl despera

"My lord, please save young mistress! She is very sick and is about to die…!"

Mingting was on horseback when a maidservant-like girl desperately grabbed his reins.

"My lord, I’m Xiao Huan, Young Miss Yuping’s servant. My lord, don’t you remember Miss Yuping? Please, save her..."

"Shut up!" Mingting frowned, and the soldiers beside him immediately pulled Xiao Huan away, "If she’s sick, find a doctor. What do you want from me? I’m not some miracle cure… you’ve got the wrong person!"

With a crack of his whip, Mingting led his men eastward.

On the way, after receiving this small world’s plot, Mingting almost protested to Fengtian that he would not accept this task.

‘This guy is a complete ingrate!’

‘He’s disloyal as a husband, cruel as a father, and unfilial as a son. How dare such a scumbag even make a wish? He’s an ungrateful wretch himself, and he ended up falling into the hands of the little white-eyed wolf he raised. Isn't that just poetic justice?’ (T/N: White-eyed wolf means ungrateful person.)

‘Honestly, I’d say the little white-eyed wolf did a great job! Serves him right!’

It was the first time Fengtian had seen Mingting so furious at a wish-maker, and it quickly tried to calm him down.

[Boss, calm down, don’t be angry. Although wish-maker did some terrible things, he also fought against pirates and protected coastal civilians for years. If he were truly worthless, the Space-Time Bureau wouldn’t have accepted his request."

Even with Fengtian's defense, Mingting still had a very bad impression of the wish-maker this time.

He had accepted three tasks, and this was the fourth one.

In Mingting's opinion, the wish-maker this time was a complete scumbag and deserved to be cannon fodder!

The name of the cannon fodder in this small world is Wei Mingting. He was the son of a general, but unfortunately, it was the end of a dynasty, and a foolish Emperor ruled.

His father was framed by treacherous officials, leading to the execution of the entire Wei family. Only seven-year-old Wei Mingting survived, as he was hidden in a manure barrel by a loyal old servant. He then escaped from the city, leaving a trace of blood for the Wei Family.

Without his parents to shelter him from the wind and rain, Wei Mingting suffered a lot.

He fought beggars for food, worked grueling jobs at the docks, and eventually became a horse slave for a wealthy family.

The family had a young miss named Jin Yuping. Once, when Wei Mingting fainted on the side of the road from hunger after being mistreated by the steward, she gave him two steamed buns.

From then on, Miss Jin became the white moonlight in Wei Mingting’s heart. (T/N: White moonlight usually refers to a person or thing that is elusive in the heart, has always been loved, but cannot be touched.)

But Jin Yuping was engaged to the son of a prefectural magistrate, so she naturally looked down on Wei Mingting, who is just a horse slave.

When she complained to her father that Wei Mingting was staring at her improperly, he was beaten with twenty strokes of the rod and driven out of the Jin Family.

With nowhere to go, Wei Mingting became a bandit… and even rose to become the leader.

Once, Wei Mingting acted chivalrously and saved a wealthy landowner. Impressed by his bearing, the wealthy landowner married his daughter, Liu Huiniang, to him.

Later, Wei Mingting took his bandit brothers down the mountain and chose the most powerful rebel army to join.

Seven years later, the new dynasty was established. Thanks to his bravery and backing the right side, Wei Mingting was enfeoffed as the Count of Dingyuan. (T/N: In the second small world, I made it Count … instead of Count of…, I felt it was somewhat strange, so from this moment on, every nobility will us … of …)

When pirates from Eastern Sea began ravaging the southeastern coast, the emperor appointed Wei Mingting as Regional Military Commissioner, tasked with defending Yaozhou.

…

Wei Mingting returned home to pick up his wife and met Jin Yuping on the way.

At this time, she and her husband had fallen from grace, and her husband had become a convicted criminal.

When he met the object of his crush in his youth when he was at the peak of his success, Wei Mingting stayed behind.

He paid for a doctor to help Jin Yuping treat her illness, and he also used his relationship to change the exile place of her husband, Shi Jing, to Yaozhou, where he was about to take office, so that he could take care of them in the future.

Because of this delay, Wei Mingting's in-laws’ home was raided by bandits, and everyone except Huiniang and her younger brother, Liu Cheng, who had gone to pray at a temple, was slaughtered.

After burying his in-laws, Wei Mingting took Huiniang and Liu Cheng to Yaozhou to take up his posts.

When he arrived in Yaozhou, he told Huiniang that Jin Yuping was his long-lost cousin, and asked his wife to take care of her. He even abused his authority to reduce Shi Jing's sentence.

When both Jin Yuping and Huiniang became pregnant, Jin Yuping cried and said her child was doomed to suffer, as he would be born as the son of a criminal.

So, Wei Mingting bribed the midwife to switch Jin Yuping's son with his own daughter during childbirth.

As a result, the son of the Shi Family became the legitimate son of the Count, while Wei Mingting's biological daughter became the child of a criminal.

Later, when the Emperor's birthday a general amnesty was declared, and Shi Jing was pardoned. Wei Mingting then recruited him under his command.

Although Wei Mingting was muddle-headed in personal matters, he was exceptionally brave in battle.

He was always the first one to charge into battle, earning great admiration.

To take care of Jin Yuping and ensure the Shi Family lived comfortably, he repeatedly credited Shi Jing with his own merits, helping him rise in rank and granting him considerable power.

Wei Mingting treated Jin Yuping's son as his own, showering him with affection.

He was even worried that the truth about the children's origins might one day come out, leading to ridicule for Jin Yuping's son, so he betrothed his biological daughter, who was raised by the Shi Family, to him.

However, Shi Jing repaid kindness with betrayal. During a naval battle, he cut off reinforcements, leaving Wei Mingting to fight alone for three days before dying at sea.

Shi Jing's son inherited the noble title and brought his biological parents into the Count’s Mansion.

As for Huiniang, his adoptive mother, she was driven out, and Wei Mingting's daughter also died from poisoning.

That's right, the Female Lead of this small world is Jin Yuping.

From the Female Lead’s perspective, it was the horse slave in her family who came to power overnight and had always had bad intentions towards her.

Because his wife couldn't give birth to a son, he exchanged his daughter for the Female Lead’s son.

The Female Lead humiliation and relied on her own efforts.

She started by selling food at a roadside stall, gradually expanding into a restaurant. Her reputation grew, and even the Empress Dowager loved her medicinal cuisine.

In the end, the horse slave who bullied her got what he deserved and died at the hands of Eastern Sea’s pirates.

When the new Emperor ascended the throne, the Female Lead sued Count of Dingyuan for stealing her son and was reunited with her biological child.

Because her son had saved the new Emperor, he inherited the Earl's Mansion, and the Female Lead became a noble matriarch.

‘Bah!’

‘What the hell!’

Mingting was very angry.

This kind of person doesn't love his daughter, raises a son for others, and ends up being stabbed in the back. Wasn’t he just getting what he deserved?!

Jin Yuping had only given the original owner two steamed buns, yet he remembered it for so long and treated her as his white moonlight.

On the surface, he seemed loyal and righteous, but toward those who truly helped him, Mingting knew he was nothing but an ungrateful wretch.

Take Huiniang's father, Wei Mingting's father-in-law, for example.

When Wei Mingting was a bandit, his father-in-law didn’t care about his background and married his daughter to him. And when they had no food, he continuously supported them.

When Wei Mingting joined the rebel army in the uprising, his father-in-law was worried but still provided supplies.

When Wei Mingting lacked social tact, his father-in-law spent money to smooth things over for him.

While Wei Mingting lived a life of bloodshed outside, his in-laws took care of his wife.

As a result, when his father-in-law's family died in the hands of bandits, he didn't feel guilty at all.

When Liu Cheng noticed something amiss with the children’s identities, he allowed Shi Jing to scheme, leading to the death of his father-in-law’s only remaining descendant at sea.

Wasn’t he just an ungrateful wretch?!

The Shi Family treated Wei Mingting's daughter badly, and Jin Yuping never taught her to read.

Instead, she preached that ignorance is a virtue for women, and asked her to help with chores and the stall.

The little girl, who was only a few years old, stepped on a bench to cook, and blisters appeared on her arms. Wei Mingting saw it clearly, but he turned a blind eye, only saying girls should be diligent.

Is this what a father would say?

His white moonlight’s son lives in the Count’s Mansion with luxurious clothes and delicious food, while his own flesh and blood suffered. Did he even deserve to be called a father?!

To ensure the two children were born at the same time, Wei Mingting greased the cobblestones in the courtyard, causing his wife to slip and go into premature labor.

Was this something a decent husband would do?

‘Ungrateful wretch! Scumbag!’

[Boss, don’t be angry. It’s not worth ruining your mood over this.]

Fengtian puffed up its cheeks and blew air to cool Mingting down.

[In terms of character, no one can compare to you, Boss. The wish-maker couldn’t catch up even with a rocket! But, Boss, think about those who were wronged by the cannon fodder. They are so pitiful… just help them!]

[Like right now, if you slow down even a little, the wealthy landowner’s family will be robbed! Boss, seven lives are at stake!]

[Huiniang is pregnant now. In the original timeline, she was frightened after her parents died and miscarried her five-month-old baby. Boss, these are all human lives!]

‘Damn it!’ Mingting grabbed his hair and whipped the horse’s flank, “Everyone listen up, march forward at double speed!”
