Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Ruthless Man
At the same time, Dong Li and Dong Huang were helping Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo collect vegetables when the children came back from school. Since the house is located on the top of a hill, Dong Li can see the children playing and laughing on their way home. When he saw them, his eyes flashed with envy and longing.

Seeing him looking at the road, Lu Jueyu walked over and saw the children. She looked at Dong Li and asked, “Xiao Li, do you want to go to school?”

Dong Li was startled by her words, turned to look at her and lowered his head. He knew that no matter how much he wanted it, he didn’t have the money. What’s more, he is 11 years old this year, and children of his age no longer go to school and start to do farm work.

After a while, Dong Li shook his head and said, “Aunt Li, I don’t want to go to school.”

Hearing the helplessness in his voice, Lu Jueyu squatted down, looked into Dong Li’s eyes and said, “Xiao Li, if you want to go to school, Aunt Li can help you pay the tuition.”

This time, Dong Li raised his head and looked at her in surprise. He really wants to go to school and study. His dream is to protect his family and country like his father, to become a soldier. He knows that he has done many bad things and has already disappointed his parents. But he still wants to go to school if possible because it is the only way he can get a better future for himself and his sister.

After thinking for a long time, he clenched his fists and asked, “Aunt Li, can I go to school?”

Lu Jueyu smiled at him and said firmly, “Of course, as long as you are willing to learn, Aunt Li and Uncle Li will help you.”

“But if I go to school, I can’t help Aunt Li and Uncle Li.”

Lu Jueyu took his hand and said, “You and your sister go to school in the morning and come to help at noon. Your Uncle Li went to school before, so if you have questions about homework, you can ask him. Aunt Li will prepare your breakfast, so come here first before you go to school.”

After considering the pros and cons, Dong Li nodded. Although he felt embarrassed for taking advantage of Aunt and Uncle Li’s kindness, he would never forget their kindness and help. He will definitely repay them well in the future. To do this, he must study hard so that he can find a better job in the future.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Jueyu went to her husband and told him about the matter. Hearing his wife’s words, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Since you have decided, I will inform the school teachers tomorrow. They need some stationery and school bags.”

Lu Jueyu looked at the vegetable garden and said, “Husband, the vegetables have been harvested. How about we go to town and buy stationery and school bags?”

After listening to his wife’s words, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “We should also take Xiao Huang for a checkup. Judging from her injuries, someone must have beaten her. It is better to get it checked out to avoid some complications in the future.”

Lu Jueyu looked at Dong Huang’s swollen face and bruised body, and sighed, “I don’t know who is so cruel that they can beat a little girl like this.”

Seeing the distressed look on his wife’s face, Li Chenmo held her hand and said, “Wife, don’t worry. No matter who did this, they will receive their retribution.”

After saying that, he glanced at Dong Li, who was busy picking cherry tomatoes.

They also heard about Su Anna from Aunt Li. So, when he saw the red rash on Dong Li’s fingers, he connected it all and knew that this matter was done by him, and the person who beat Dong Huang was Su Anna.

Although Dong Li’s approach was cruel, Li Chenmo didn’t think what he did was wrong. No matter what era, the weak were bullied, and the strong were feared. Since he couldn’t blatantly protect his sister, he could only retaliate secretly.

As a businessman, Li Chenmo also did a lot of bad things secretly in his previous life. He was considered a ruthless man in the business world and many people feared him. His only weakness is Lu Jueyu and because he is unwilling to deal with his family ruthlessly, he makes her suffer a lot.

Therefore, regarding Dong Li’s determination to deal with Su Anna ruthlessly, Li Chenmo actually appreciates him more. This kind of person will not let the people he loves be bullied and is ruthless enough to reach the top of the pyramid.

If they lived in modern times, he would definitely take Dong Li under his wings and train him as his successor. When this thought flashed through his mind, Li Chenmo’s eyes suddenly lit up. Although they lived in the 1970s, economic reforms would occur a few years later.

If he can train Dong Li in these few years, when the government opens the market and allows self-employment, Dong Li will be old enough to start his own business or help him. It’s not a bad thing to have another person to protect his family.

“Dong Li, Dong Huang, do you have any plans later?” he asked.

Both of them shook their heads at his question.

Li Chenmo nodded and said with a smile, “Good, we will go to the county town after lunch.”

Although Dong Li and Dong Huang didn’t know why they needed to go to the county town with Li Chenmo, they readily agreed. This is their first time to visit the county town. They were excited and sped up their actions, and had harvested all the vegetables before noon.

After finishing their work, Dong Li went to help Li Chenmo clean up the front and back yards, while Dong Huang went to the kitchen to help Lu Jueyu.
