Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 396

Chapter 396: Foster Father, Foster Mother ( 1 )
The villagers believed that since the Dong siblings could not do much work, the production team should give them five work points at most. Giving them so many work points, wasn’t it equal to forcing them to support the Dong siblings?

Therefore, they often insulted them in front of their children, causing the children to look down on Dong Li and Dong Huang and bully them. Seeing them being bullied gave the villagers some satisfaction because they felt superior to the Dong siblings. After all, they were able to survive only because of their charity.

But now, they are adopted by Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu. In the future, they can no longer let their children bully them. Otherwise, the Li family and the Lu family might come to settle accounts with them. Just thinking about Wang Muxiao’s unreasonable character already gave them a headache. So, it’s best to stay away from them.

Although she knew that most people in the village were like this, Aunt Su still disagreed and felt that they were unpleasant to her eyes. She packed up the sewn clothes and kept them in the bamboo basket before saying, “My daughter is back today, so I won’t accompany everyone anymore.”

After saying that, she left without looking back. If her husband hadn’t told her to have a good relationship with the villagers, she wouldn’t have bothered to talk to them. Each of them is always spreading rumors and talking about other people’s affairs as if they were better than others.

When Dong Li and Dong Huang came back with the fish, Li Chenmo had already gone to the brigade office, and Lu Jueyu was making peach wine. Now that Dong Li and Dong Huang are living with them, she has to be more careful. Showing them how she makes the wine will make them think the wine didn’t just appear out of thin air.

Seeing them coming back, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “You are all back. There are some cantaloupes in the kitchen for you.”

Dong Li nodded and said, “Aunt Li, we caught some fish in the river. I put it in the basin.”

Lu Jueyu looked at the fat fish and praised, “You two are so awesome! The fish meat is plump and very suitable for steamed fish or fish soup. We can have it for dinner.”

Hearing her compliment, Dong Huang puffed up her chest and said, “Aunt Li, it was my brother who caught the fish. My brother is so powerful! We only used bamboo poles and dried vines but we caught the fish.”

Seeing the simple fishing rod, Lu Jueyu was surprised and said, “Wow, Aunt Li has never used a bamboo rod to fish. Let’s go fishing with your Uncle Li next time.”

When Dong Li heard her praise, he felt shy yet proud and said, “Then I will make two more bamboo poles for Aunt Li and Uncle Li.”

Lu Jueyu nodded after listening to his words and said, “Thank you, Xiao Li. You two should wash your hands first and then eat the cantaloupe. When your uncle comes back, we can have dinner together.”

Since it was their first day living together with Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo, Dong Li and Dong Huang were still a little shy and timid, so they were very careful about what they said and did in front of her. Seeing them like this, Lu Jueyu said nothing and just smiled at them.

She knew that not only the children, but also her husband and herself would need some time to adjust to their new family. She just hoped the kids wouldn’t be too polite to them in the future. As a family, too much politeness will alienate each other’s relationship. More importantly, she hopes they can grow up like other children and at least have some happy childhood memories.

After washing their faces, hands, and feets, Dong Li and Dong Huang took the cantaloupe and came to the veranda. They sat there eating while watching Lu Jueyu brewing wine and thought that life was so wonderful.

At the same time, Li Chenmo sat opposite Comrade Jiang in the brigade office. Comrade Jiang looked at the recommendation letter and household registration book, and asked, “Comrade Li, are you sure you want to register these orphans under your name? After you adopt them, they will become your responsibility and the brigade won’t help providing food for them in the future.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “I’m sure. Comrade Jiang please help me handle the documents.”

Comrade Jiang looked at him and said, “Comrade Li, I noticed that you and your wife are still young. Both of you can have your own children. If you adopt someone else’s child, the result may not be what you want in the future.”

As soon as Li Chenmo heard what he said, he knew that everyone thought he and his wife wanted Dong Li and Dong Huang to be filial to them and support them in their old age.

Only his wife and himself knew that they only did this because they felt it was a pity that the talents of the Dong siblings were buried due to poverty. As for the future, he believes that with his wife’s space and his ability, they will not need anyone to support them in their old age.

Even without his wife’s golden finger, he is fully capable of creating his own business empire. An empire that is bigger and better than the one in his previous life.

So, he just smiled at Comrade Jiang and said, “I know. Please help me with the documents, Comrade Jiang.”

Comrade Jiang looked at him and sighed. Since Li Chenmo insisted, he wouldn’t say too much, lest he talk too much and annoy him. He processed the documents very quickly.

In less than thirty minutes, the names of Dong Li and Dong Huang were recorded under Lu Jueyu’s and his. Next to their names, the words ‘adopted son’ and ‘adopted daughter’ are written.
