Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 394
Chapter 394: Moving
She clearly never asked to be born in the first place. It was her parents who gave birth to her. So, why should she bear such blame and harsh treatment?
The more Han Liling thought about it, the deeper her hatred for her brother became. Her palms clenched unconsciously, hurting the baby. The moment her nails dug into his back, the baby burst into tears.
Han Liling came to her senses in the midst of crying and quickly concealed her hatred and jealousy. She quickly comforted her brother with a gentle voice, acting like a loving sister.
Seeing that her daughter was so good at taking care of her son, Bai Luyun felt relieved and decided to let her daughter take care of her son in the future. She closed her eyes and slept peacefully. She didn’t know that the decision to let her daughter educate her son would become the biggest regret in her life.
After getting the recommendation letter, Li Chenmo returned home. While helping his wife harvest vegetables, he waited for Dong Li and Dong Huang to wake up. After sleeping for an hour, they both woke up.
Seeing that their foster parents were working, they quickly washed their faces and went to help. After the vegetables were harvested, Li Chenmo said, “Xiao Li, let’s go to your home to get your household registration book and move your things.”
Dong Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded. Unlike the previous use of wooden boards as seats, this time Li Chenmo tied a wooden cart to the bicycle. The cart can be installed and removed just like an extra seat.
Seeing this, both Dong Li and Dong Huang were surprised by their adoptive father’s thoughts.
Seeing the cart, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, I think it would be better to add a roof to this cart. We can make it into a carriage, so that when we go to the county seat, Xiao Li and Xiao Huang can sit on it. It’s safer than sitting on the wooden plank.”
After hearing what his wife said, Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “Then we need to make a bigger cart. I made this cart just to transport goods.”
Thinking of the tricycle used by Bajie, Li Chenmo had an idea and said, “Or we can install two carts on both sides like a tricycle. In this way, we can use it to carry people and items at the same time.”
Because this era did not have as strict traffic rules as modern times, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “This is a good idea. But we must ensure safety.”
“Mhmm.”
Dong Li and Dong Huang stood aside, listening to their conversation with wide eyes. They didn’t expect their adoptive parents to be so innovative. No one had considered this before. They just think about buying a bicycle or a tricycle. In fact, they can improve their bicycles.
Not to mention that tricycles are more expensive than bicycles, if they designed the cart themselves, it would be more flexible and they could take it off when not needed and put it back on when needed. How convenient!
After a brief conversation, Dong Li sat in the back seat and they went to his house to get the household registration book and their things. Arriving in front of the dilapidated house, Li Chenmo parked his bicycle and said, “Let’s go.”
Dong Li nodded and walked into the living room. As soon as he entered the room, Li Chenmo saw a table, two chairs, a small cabinet with a broken door, and nothing else. Looking up, he saw that the hay on the roof needed replacing.
Following Dong Li into their room, they saw the small kang bed covered with hay and thin cloth. There are two bamboo pillows and a thin patched quilt inside. There is a small cabinet next to it, which is used by the Dong siblings to store their belongings.
Dong Li rummaged in the cabinet for a while, took out a jar, and opened it. Inside is the household registration book and some coins. This is Dong Li’s entire property. He took out an old piece of cloth and placed it on the Kang bed to wrap their clothes and belongings.
Li Chenmo used hemp rope to tie up their bedding, quilts, and bamboo pillows. No matter how old these things are, they belong to Dong Li’s parents. He knew that the Dong siblings were reluctant to throw it away, so he brought it to his home. They have a lot of space at home, so bringing these things over won’t be a problem.
Seeing that he was carrying his parents’ things back, Dong Li said, “Uncle Li, I will only bring back anything I can use.”
Li Chenmo glanced at him and said, “Alright, you picked it out.”
It took Dong Li half an hour to sort the items. He did take away what was useful and left behind what was too old or broken and could no longer be used. After sorting out the items, there was only one pan, two pots, two cups, and four bamboo plates next to the bedding, quilt, bamboo pillow, and some old clothes.
After putting the things in the cart, Li Chenmo tied them up with hemp rope and rode back. The villagers saw them moving the Dong siblings’ belongings and started gossiping again.
Seeing the old items tied to the cart, a villager sneered, “I said that Li Chenmo and his wife were planning on something, but you said I was jealous. Now you see yourself. If they had money, why would they take those broken items? Even the pots and patched quilts were brought over.”
Hearing this, another villager said, “I think the idea of adopting the Dong siblings should be Lu Jueyu’s plan. With Dong Li working in the fields, they can earn more work points and only need a small amount of food every day. In the end, any leftover food will be hers.”
