Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Old Shrew
Su Anna pushed Dong Huang away and said, “Little bitch, you better behave yourself, or I’ll pinch you again!”

As a result of the push, Dong Huang fell to the ground and hit her waist on a stone. She screamed in pain and couldn’t move for a moment. When she raised her head, she saw Su Anna walking away with a basket of food. She pushed herself up and chased after her.

Without thinking, she pulled the bamboo basket from Su Anna’s hand and shouted, “Bad woman, give me back my food!”

Caught off guard, Su Anna was pulled back and fell to the ground. The moment she fell to the ground, Dong Huang ran away carrying the bamboo basket. Seeing her retreating figure, Su Anna gritted her teeth, stood up, and chased after her. It didn’t take long for her to catch up. The difference from before was that she did not pinch Dong Huang, but grabbed her collar and slapped her hard.

PA!

The sound of flesh colliding with flesh was so loud that it could be heard from twenty meters away.

At the same time, Xiao Li, who was inspecting the farmland, was also stunned. He was afraid that something was going to happen and hurried towards the source of the sound. He thought someone was fighting, but he didn’t expect to see an educated youth beating a child.

“What are you doing?!” he asked as he ran towards them.

Because of her anger, Su Anna did not notice Xiao Li and continued to beat Dong Huang, “Bitch, do you still dare to fight back? You are just an unwanted child, a waste of food!”

Before she could slap Dong Huang again, a hand grabbed her wrist and pushed her away. Being pushed so suddenly, her footing became unsteady and she fell to the ground. When she raised her head, she saw a man with dark skin and an ordinary face staring at her.

“Who are you?!” she asked angrily.

Xiao Li stood in front of Dong Huang, protecting her behind him. He looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of disgust and anger. Instead of answering her question, he asked, “What are you doing?”

Su Anna stood up, pointed at Dong Huang and said, “I beat the bastard. You’d better not interfere, otherwise I won’t be polite.”

Hearing her arrogant words, Xiao Li was so angry that he couldn’t help but laugh, “A bastard? Are you talking about yourself?”

Su Anna was angered by his words and said, “You! Are you calling me a bastard?”

Xiao Li shrugged and said, “Except for you, I don’t see any bastards here.”

Hearing his words, Su Anna was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She glared at Xiao Li and said after a while, “Just you wait!”

After saying that, she stomped her feet and turned around to leave. Xiao Li spat and shouted, “Pei! What are you pretending to be so superior for? You are just an old shrew!”

After saying that, he turned around and saw the little girl curled up on the ground crying. He looked at Dong Huang as if he was looking at his younger self. His parents died when he was very young, and he lived with his uncle. But since his uncle was rarely at home, his wife and children often bullied him.

As someone who lived under other’s roofs, he had no choice but to lower his head and accept the beating silently. It wasn’t until he was pushed down by his cousin into the river and almost drowned that he realized that no one would pity him or take care of him. If Li Lingyun hadn’t saved him, he might have died by then.

From then on, whenever he was bullied, he would fight back. When he was falsely accused of beating his cousin, his uncle severed family ties and kicked him out of the house. After that, he lived alone. So, looking at the little girl, he sighed and squatted down.

He patted Dong Huang’s head and said, “She is gone now. Don’t cry anymore.”

Dong Huang was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she didn’t dare to raise her head at all.

Seeing her pitiful look, Xiao Li picked her up, patted her back, and asked, “Where is your home? I’ll take you back.”

After being picked up, Dong Huang finally raised her head and sobbed, “Xiao Huang wants to… give my brother food.”

Xiao Li looked at the bamboo basket. There was food wrapped in oil paper and bamboo tubes scattered on the ground. He picked it up and put it in the bamboo basket, saying, “Okay, let’s bring food to your brother.”

Wiping her tears, she said between sobs, “Thank you, uncle.”

Remembering that he didn’t know this little girl or her brother, Xiao Li asked, “By the way, what’s your brother’s name?”

She wiped away the snot on her face and said, “Uncle, my name is Dong Huang, and my brother’s name is Dong Li.”

“Ah, that little boy. I know where he is. Let’s go.”

While she felt embarrassed about being hugged by a stranger, Dong Huang had never been hugged by an adult man, so this was the first time she saw the road from a higher perspective. She didn’t know that the scenery at high places was so beautiful. She can see so far!

Looking at the scenery and feeling the breeze blowing on her face, her mood became lighter and she finally smiled. After walking for twenty minutes, they finally found Dong Li.

Seeing his brother, Dong Huang forgot about the pain in her whole body. She waved her hands and shouted, “Brother!”

Hearing her sister’s voice, Dong Li, who was inspecting the farmland, raised his head. When he saw his sister coming with a stranger, he frowned and walked towards them.

Dong Li stood in front of them, looked at his sister, and said, “Xiao Huang, come down.”
