Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1130

Chapter 1130: The Connections ( 1 )
While Xiao Yiguan was filling the bucket, he saw the Pan family and greeted them, “Uncle Pan, Aunt Pan!”

Hearing his voice, both Father and Mother Pan turned around. Seeing him filling a bucket, they walked over, and Mother Pan asked, “Xiao Guan, what are you doing?”

“Aunt Pan, I’m helping Doctor Xie take care of his medicinal garden,” Xiao Yiguan replied with a smile.

Looking at him, Mother Pan felt a mix of emotions. She was aware of the emotional entanglement between him and her daughter, but now that her daughter was married, it wasn’t appropriate for him to get too close to her.

Noticing her awkwardness, Xiao Yiguan smiled and said, “Aunt Pan, I didn’t know your son-in-law’s family has a good relationship with my friend’s uncle. It seems the world is indeed small.”

When Father Pan heard this, he asked, “Xiao Guan, do you mean that Doctor Xie has a relationship with the Xie family in the capital?”

Xiao Yiguan nodded and replied, “Doctor Xie is the current head of the Xie family’s older brother.”

When they heard this, not only Father Pan but also Mother Pan and the second aunt were surprised.

During the wedding banquet yesterday, Father Pan had noticed that one of the important guests was the son of the head of the Xie family. He was surprised to see him and even more surprised when he went to speak with an old man.

Initially, he thought the old man was just a villager. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the eldest master of the Xie family, a medical genius of this era.

From what Father Pan knew, the man had disappeared decades ago, after his daughter’s death. Everyone thought he had long since passed away. It turned out he had been living in this small village.

Just thinking about his influence and connections, Father Pan couldn’t imagine what kind of changes he might cause in the capital if he ever returned to the Xie family.

Seeing their shock, Xiao Yiguan smiled and said, “Uncle Pan, I was also surprised when I found out about this yesterday. I came to this village to accompany my friend in finding our comrade’s daughter. We didn’t expect to meet the eldest master or you here.”

Just as he finished speaking, Doctor Xie’s voice rang out, “What eldest master?! I’m just an old villager.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiguan turned around and saw Doctor Xie glaring at him while holding Li Shu’s hand.

Noticing her grandpa’s anger, Li Shu tugged at his hand and said, “Grandpa, let’s go back first. I’m hungry.”

The moment Doctor Xie heard this, his annoyance toward Xiao Yiguan faded. He looked at his granddaughter with a smile and said, “Good, let’s go back. Your Aunt Jueyu gave us a lot of dishes yesterday. Let’s heat them up for lunch.”

Li Shu nodded, looked at the Pan family, and said with a smile, “Grandpa, Grandma, I heard from Dong Li about you. Since you have come to our village, it’s our turn to show our hospitality. Please join us for a meal.”

When the second aunt heard her words, she smiled and praised, “Such a clever and beautiful girl, ah! Are you Xiao Li’s friend?”

Li Shu nodded and replied, “Grandaunt, you could say we are good friends. Ah Li said that you help him to buy the gift for me and our friends. Thank you.”

Seeing that his granddaughter seemed to like this group of people, Doctor Xie glanced at them and said, “Since Shushu has already invited you, just come to my house for lunch.”

Unlike Li Shu’s warm invitation, Doctor Xie’s words sounded more like an order. Although they felt embarrassed to accept a meal at a stranger’s house, they didn’t dare to refuse Doctor Xie. What if he felt offended by their refusal?

When he returned to the capital, he might find fault with their family. With this thought, they could only follow Doctor Xie.

Xiao Yiguan, knowing Doctor Xie had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, didn’t take his words to heart. In a good mood, he carried two buckets of river water back. He was feeling hungry and looking forward to lunch. Just thinking about those delicious dishes made his mouth water.

When they arrived at Doctor Xie’s house, Xie Xuanzi had already finished pulling the weeds and was washing the dirt off his body. Hearing footsteps, he looked toward the gate and saw his uncle returning with his niece.

Instead of greeting his uncle, he smiled at his niece and said, “Shushu is back. Uncle boiled some mung bean soup in the kitchen. Have some to cushion your stomach first and then rest. I will call you when the meal is ready.”

Li Shu looked at the handsome man in front of her for a moment and said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

After saying this, she went to her room to change her clothes and put away her school bag. While washing her hands, she became lost in thought.

She had known about her grandpa’s family background from Chen Jianmin during her stay in another Li Shu’s world. In that world, the Xie family never contacted her because she and her grandpa never acknowledged each other.

She had assumed there would be no connection between them in this world, either. Unexpectedly, the future head of the Xie family had come to this small village personally.

She didn’t know why the Xie family hadn’t discovered her grandpa until his death in that world but they found him in this world at this time.

Everything that happened in that world and in this one was so different that she found it hard to believe this magical experience was real.

When she was pondering what had caused the differences, Lu Jueyu’s face suddenly appeared in her mind. In that moment, her eyes widened in realization and shock.

‘That’s right! Everything started with the supposedly dead Aunt Lu Jueyu recovering from her illness,’ she thought inwardly.
