Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 454

Chapter 453: Distant Relative?
Putting down the spoon, Dong Huang looked at Lu Jueyu and said, “Foster mother, Brother Lin told me before that his parents rarely go home and there is not much food at home. He usually goes to the foothills to look for food. But now he is injured, so he couldn’t go to the mountain foothills. I was worried that he wouldn’t have anything to eat and would starve.”

After listening to her words, both Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu knew that Dong Huang felt guilty about Feng Lin’s injury and was worried about his situation. Eating meat dumplings, she felt even more guilty when she thought of Feng Lin, who might be starving at the moment.

“How about we send some dumplings to Xiao Lin later?” Lu Jueyu asked.

Upon hearing her words, Dong Huang’s eyes lit up. She glanced at her brother and asked, “Foster mother, can we really give Brother Lin some dumplings?”

Lu Jueyu noticed her little movement and said, “Of course. Since Xiao Lin is Xiao Huang’s benefactor, our family should thank him and repay his kindness.”

Dong Huang was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, foster mother!”

Lu Jueyu nodded to her and said, “Then let’s finish breakfast and go deliver the dumplings.”

Dong Huang nodded and finally took a big bite of the dumplings.

Looking at his sister, Dong Li felt complicated. He was grateful that their adoptive parents were good to them. But he was also ashamed that he and his sister had become a burden to them as they ate a lot while couldn’t earn much work points.

Dong Huang didn’t know what her brother was thinking, so she urged, “Brother, hurry up and eat so we can go visit Brother Lin.”

Dong Li sighed and nodded, “Eat slowly, don’t choke.”

After breakfast, Dong Li helped Li Chenmo clear the table and wash the dishes, while Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to pack the food for Feng Lin.

Besides the dumplings, she took out five kilograms of coarse grains, two kilograms of white flour, five kilograms of corn flour, two kilograms of pork belly, two kilograms of pork bones, a bottle of sesame oil, a bottle of oyster sauce, a bottle of peanut oil, twenty eggs, and two salted fish from her space. She put everything in a bamboo basket and covered it with banana leaves.

When her husband entered the kitchen, she just tied the bamboo basket with hemp rope. Seeing him coming, she said, “Husband, I prepared some food for Feng Lin. This should be enough for him and his grandparents for a week. I plan to send food over every week until he fully recovers.”

Li Chenmo had no objection to his wife’s plan and nodded, “Mhmm. In this way, we can at least ensure that he has adequate nutrition during his recovery.”

He took the bamboo basket from his wife, carried it on his back, and said, “Wife, it’s getting late. We should leave now. ”

“Okay.”

Since Dong Huang’s injuries were only skin trauma, there was no need to carry her. So, they decided to walk rather than ride their bicycle. After locking the door, they walked to the neighboring village.

The villagers saw the four of them walking and chatting and looked at them curiously.

Seeing the purple bruises on Dong Huang’s face, one of the villagers clicked her tongue and said, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at the girl’s injuries. It seems that what Gou Dan’s mother said is false. With Dong Li’s small body, it is impossible for him to beat Gou Dan and the others. I think it was Dong Huang who was beaten, not Gou Dan.”

Hearing her words, another woman said, “Isn’t it? Look at how arrogant Gou Dan and his friends are, and how obedient the Dong brother and sister are. Based on this alone, anyone with a brain should know who is right and who is wrong.”

“I heard that Gou Dan’s mother insisted on asking for compensation from Li Chenmo’s family and asked Dong Li to apologize to Gou Dan in public.”

“Pei! She must think her brother is a powerful person. Why doesn’t she ascend to heaven then?” said a middle-aged woman as she spat on the ground.

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and one of the villagers said, “She thought that everyone must be fawning over her family because Gou Dan’s uncle works at the brigade office. That’s why she dared to say this.”

“What a joke! She dares to be so arrogant just because her brother is a small guard in the brigade office. I think her head is full of water.” Another villager snorted.

“Well, I’m just curious about how Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu will resolve this matter. After all, Dong Li and Dong Huang are their children now. Their children being bullied like this by Gou Dan is tantamount to being slapped in the face by the Chen family.” A young woman said thoughtfully.

“But then I thought about it, aren’t Gou Dan’s mother and Chen Anwen still distantly related?” she added.

The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said, “Their great-grandfather was a cousin, and they could be considered a family. But since the death of their great-grandfather, the two families have never had any contact. It is too far-fetched to say that they are a family now.”

“More importantly, there are no marriages between their descendants that could bring the family closer together,” she added.

After hearing her words, the villagers nodded in agreement. It’s okay if they have nothing to do with the Chen family. Who doesn’t know that most of the Chen family members are not only arrogant, but also greedy, shameless, and unreasonable? In the entire brigade, perhaps only Liu Hua and Wang Muxiao could go against them.

Fortunately, Wang Muxiao is now Dong Li and Dong Huang’s maternal uncle’s wife. If Gou Dan’s mother wants to embarrass them, she may need to consider Wang Muxiao’s reaction first.
