Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: The Truth ( 2 )
Opening the door, Li Chenze saw Yang Lichao leaning against the mud wall. Looking at his pale face, he frowned and asked, “Yang Lichao, what are you doing here? If you feel unwell, just go home and rest.”

When Yang Lichao saw it was Li Chenze, he hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, “I have something to tell your father. Is he at home?”

Li Chenze frowned deeper and asked, “What do you want to tell my father?”

Yang Lichao became impatient and said, “Tell your father, I know something about his second son.”

“We have nothing to do with Li Chenxuan. You don’t need to bother us with his affairs anymore.” Li Chenze said coldly.

“It’s not Li Chenxuan, it’s your biological second brother!”

Li Chenze was stunned by his words and asked, “What did you say?”

Yang Lichao felt pain and tired from walking. Feeling angry in his heart, he stuffed a five-string bracelet into Li Chenze’s palm and said, “Show it to your father.”

Looking at the old five-string bracelet, Li Chenze’s eyes widened. As a child, his mother made a similar bracelet for him and his brothers to ward off evil spirits. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Yang Lichao and said, “Come in.”

After Yang Lichao entered the house, Li Chenze closed the door and took Yang Lichao to the living room. Entering the living room and seeing Li Chenmo there, Yang Lichao felt pain in his ribs. He still remembered the pain from being beaten by him.

Father Li was surprised to find that the person coming was Yang Lichao, and asked, “Comrade Yang, what brought you to my house today?”

Over the years, the Li family and the Yang family have never had any contact. They didn’t even say hello when they met on the road. Therefore, Yang Lichao’s sudden visit was indeed surprising.

Yang Lichao did not answer Father Li’s question and sat down on the chair unceremoniously. Father Li looked at Li Chenze and asked, “Eldest son, what’s going on?”

Li Chenze put a five-string bracelet on the table and said, “Father, Yang Lichao gave this to me, saying that he knew something about my second brother.”

At first, Father Li thought he was talking about Li Chenxuan. But when he saw the old five-string bracelet, his eyes widened. He stretched out his trembling hand to take the bracelet and asked, “Comrade Yang, why do you have this bracelet?”

Yang Lichao poured himself a cup of tea, drank it, and said, “I found it among my parents’ belongings.”

“How could your parents have possession of my second son’s things?” Father Li asked again.

Yang Lichao looked at Father Li and said slowly, “Because the people who kidnapped your second son are my parents.”

After he finished speaking, Father Li, Li Chenmo, and Li Chenze were all stunned. There was a long silence in the living room, and Father Li looked at the five-string bracelet blankly.

Thinking about what happened back then, the Yang family left the village shortly after their second son was found by the officers. It was not until Father Yang passed away that Mother Yang and Yang Lichao returned to Xie village during the Great Famine. Thinking that Li Chenxuan’s appearance, figure, and personality were all similar to those of the Yangs, Father Li clenched his fists tightly.

“So that’s what happened. No wonder he looks so similar to the members of the Yang family. It turns out that he is the son of the Yang family.” Father Li said to himself.

Hearing his muttering, Yang Lichao sneered and said casually, “Uncle Li, it took you a long time to realize that he is not like your family at all. He is indeed my biological older brother.”

“I admire your patience. You can tolerate his bad personality for 30 years. This is not an easy task at all.” He added while clicking his tongue.

Li Chenze was angered by his words, grabbed his collar, and asked, “Yang Lichao, where is my second brother?”

Yang Lichao choked but still refused to speak. Instead, he looked at Li Chenze with provocative eyes. When his face turned red, Li Chenmo said, “Brother, you will kill him. Let him go.”

Li Chenze released Yang Lichao’s collar and glared at him.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Yang Lichao took a deep breath and coughed.

“Yang Lichao, you’d better tell us everything you know. Otherwise, you know what I can do.” Li Chenmo said coldly.

After hearing his words, Yang Lichao felt chills running down his spine and a cold sweat broke out on his back. However, he refused to show weakness. He smiled stiffly and said, “I can tell you everything, but…”

Li Chenmo narrowed his eyes and asked, “But what?”

Yang Lichao smiled and said, “Give me two thousand yuan and I will tell you everything.”

Hearing his request, Father Li and Li Chenze became angry, but Li Chenmo chuckled and said calmly, “You have a big appetite.”

Yang Lichao became more confident and said with a smile, “Compared with the news about your second brother, two thousand yuan is nothing.”

“Yang Lichao, have you forgotten that the people who kidnapped my second brother are your parents?” Li Chenze asked angrily.

“As you said, the people who kidnapped your second brother are my parents. This matter has nothing to do with me. If you want to report my mother, please feel free to do so. She is already in prison, and there is nothing wrong with being imprisoned for a few more years. Maybe it would be better for her to be shot to death than to stay in jail for several years.” Yang Lichao said calmly.

When Li Chenze heard what he said, he looked at him in disbelief and said, “Yang Lichao, you are worse than a beast!”

Yang Lichao was amused by his words and said, “Don’t change the subject. You just need to tell me your decision.”
