Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Heart of Wolf
Li Chenxuan didn’t mind Mother Jiao’s cold and arrogant attitude and followed her into the house. Before leaving, he did not forget to look at the neighbors and give them a polite smile.

After they left, a neighbor couldn’t restrain her curiosity and said, “Do you know why Aunt Jiao’s son-in-law came to visit this time? Last time they came to celebrate the New Year, I heard that they had a quarrel.”

“Yesterday I heard someone arguing, so I opened the door to check. Guess what I saw.” Another neighbor said mysteriously.

“Aiya, tell us quickly, don’t keep it to yourself.” Her words aroused the interest of the other neighbors.

“As soon as I opened the door, I saw a tall and handsome man talking to Aunt Jiao. At first, I thought Aunt Jiao had finally found a good man for her niece. It turned out that that man was the eldest brother of Aunt Jiao’s son-in-law. They looked nothing like each other!” the neighbor said exaggeratedly.

“Since they were quarreling, I was afraid that Aunt Jiao would be bullied. So, I listened to their conversation. Did you know? Aunt Jiao’s daughter is hospitalized and is in critical condition. But it was Aunt Jiao’s words that sent shivers down my spine.” The neighbor added with widened eyes.

“What did Aunt Jiao say? Tell us quickly.” Another neighbor urged with curiosity.

“Aunt Jiao said that a married daughter is like spilled water. Her life or death has nothing to do with the Jiao family and is the responsibility of her parents-in-law. She refused to visit her daughter in the hospital and said that her parents-in-law took advantage of her daughter’s situation to ask for money from the Jiao family!” The neighbor shook her head.

“Heavens! I didn’t expect Aunt Jiao to be so cruel to her daughter. She usually looks like a kind elder, how could she say such a thing?” Another neighbor said in disbelief.

“You are new here, so you don’t know. That year, Aunt Jiao asked for a bride price of 300 yuan when her daughter married her son-in-law, not including the radio. The Jiao family only cares about their son and regards their daughter as a tool to pave the way for him.” Another neighbor added with a click of her tongue.

“Not only that, their daughter would bring them a lot of things every time she came to visit. However, not only did they not thank her, but they also scolded her for not bringing back enough things from her husband’s house! The Jiao family seems to be kind and educated, but their hearts are darker than a wolf’s!”

“It is a pity for their daughter, but it is also unfortunate for her to be born into such a family. Now, she is sick and needs money. I don’t think the Jiao family will agree to spend money to help her.” Another neighbor sighed and said.

“Don’t talk about money. Maybe they even want to sever ties with her to prevent them from getting into trouble.”

Upon hearing this, the neighbors looked at each other and sighed. The Jiao family is too cold-blooded.

At the same time, Li Chenxuan and Jiao’s mother were already sitting opposite each other in the living room.

Mother Jiao looked at Li Chenxuan and said, “Son-in-law, don’t blame mother for not helping you and Siyu. It’s not that we don’t want to help at all, but as you can see, our family’s conditions are not good either. We really can’t afford to help you pay the hospital bills. What’s more, Siyu is your wife, you have the responsibility to take care of her.”

Li Chenxuan already knew that Mother Jiao would refuse to help pay the hospital bills, so he was not surprised at all. He didn’t come here today to ask for money, but to ask her to take care of Jiao Siyu in the hospital.

As for money, after Jiao Siyu passed away, the factory would give him some money as mourning money. Although it was a waste to use the money to pay hospital bills, he didn’t mind spending the money as long as he could get rid of the Jiao family from his life.

After a while, Li Chenxuan sighed and said sadly, “Mother, I understand your situation. I won’t ask for money, but as you know, I need to work so that I can make money to pay for the hospital expenses. Now, only you can help me take care of Siyu in the hospital. So-”

Before he even finished with his words, Mother Jiao interrupted him, “That won’t do! If I go to the hospital to take care of Siyu, what about your father-in-law? I have to help him cook and take care of the housework. You won’t expect me to abandon my husband for a married daughter, won’t you?”

Li Chenxuan lowered his head to hide the disgust and anger in his eyes. After a while, he raised his head again and said, “Mother, I won’t ask you to stay in the hospital all day. Just come over and take care of Siyu for a few hours every day.”

After listening to his words, Mother Jiao frowned and said, “No. If I go, I need to buy food. It would be troublesome to cook at home and take them to the hospital.”

After listening to her words, Li Chenxuan knew what she was implying and said, “I will try to discuss this matter with my family and see if they can provide you with food during your stay.”

When Mother Jiao heard his words, her eyes flashed. She wouldn’t mind going to the hospital to take care of her sick daughter if she could leech off a meal or two from the Li family. After all, she could go there during lunch and return before dinner. This way, she can get two meals a day from the Li family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mother Jiao finally sighed and said helplessly, “Son-in-law, if your family can provide me with two meals a day, I will try my best to spare time to take care of Siyu when she is in the hospital.”
