Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 570

Chapter 570: Chen Jianmin’s Plans
When Wu Yahui heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she pushed the villagers aside to see what happened. When her eyes fell on her beloved son, she screamed, “Who beat my Jianmin like this?!”

She rushed over and hugged her son, shouting anxiously, “Jianmin, my son, wake up! Don’t scare your mother like this!”

Everyone stood aside with no intention of helping. Dong Li sighed and opened his school bag. He took out a small jar of ointment from his bag and walked towards the fence.

Although he felt that Chen Jianmin deliberately let himself get beaten and it was a bit of a loss to give this ointment to him, seeing that his injury was so serious, Dong Li still stretched out his hand and said, “Aunt Chen, this is the ointment for treating wounds. You can use it to treat Classmate Chen’s wounds first.”

Hearing his words, Wu Yahui raised her head and saw a small jar of ointment on Dong Li’s palm, and asked, “Nephew Dong, where did you get this ointment?”

Although he knew how effective the ointment was prepared by his adoptive mother, Dong Li knew that if he told the truth, no one would believe him and it might cause trouble for his adoptive mother.

So, after hesitating for a second, he said calmly, “This ointment was bought by my foster father in the hospital. It is the leftover of what my sister and Xiao Lin used before.”

Everyone knew how serious Feng Lin and Dong Huang’s injuries were. They thought the wound would leave some scarring and took a long time to heal.

But now, nearly two weeks have passed, and Dong Huang’s injury has completely recovered while Feng Lin’s injury was recovering very well. Based on this alone, everyone knows how effective and expensive this ointment is.

Seeing Wu Yahui’s hesitation, the villagers said, “Sister-in-law, this ointment is very effective. It must have cost a lot of money to buy it. Since Dong Li is willing to share it with your son, don’t refuse his kindness and just accept it.”

Wu Yahui weighed the pros and cons in her heart and decided to accept the ointment. Although the main branch has conflicts with the Li family and the Lu family, their second branch can be said to be distant relatives of the Lu family.

Her paternal cousin is the eldest daughter-in-law of Lu Jueyu’s maternal uncle. Since they still have some family relationship, it should not be a problem for her to accept Dong Li’s kindness.

She took the jar of ointment and said, “Auntie will make delicious food for you and your sister to thank you for this ointment.”

Dong Li didn’t refuse her gesture, nodded to her and said, “Aunt Chen, it’s getting late. My sister and I are going to school now.”

Seeing that the sun was already two poles high, she said, “Go on then, thank you, Classmate Dong.”

Before leaving, Dong Li glanced at Chen Jianmin and saw him looking at him calmly with swollen eyes. Although he does not intend to become friends with him, it is not a good decision to become an enemy of him. This person is unfathomable and hard to guard against.

Since both of them are the same type of people, it is better to maintain the current relationship. River water and well water have nothing to do with each other. As long as they don’t bother each other, Dong Li didn’t mind helping him with this small matter.

While Dong Li was thinking like this, Chen Jianmin had other plans.

Although he was better than the sons of the main branch in all aspects, he could not continue his study and must work in the farm after he finished his elementary school. Because he is the son of the second branch and the family’s resources will be used to cultivate the sons of the main branch, he wouldn’t receive any money to enter the junior high school.

He knew that his parents did not dare to go against his eldest uncle. Therefore, he can only rely on himself to fight for his future. Among all the families in Xie village, only the Lu family and the Li family treat their children equally, not to mention their ability to raise children and provide them with adequate food and a good education.

Ever since he saw how kind Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were to Feng Lin, a bud of hope began to grow in his heart. He also wanted to receive this treatment. If he could become friends with the Dong siblings, he might even be able to receive some food or snacks as Feng Lin from the Dong siblings’ adoptive parents.

He also knew that it was under Li Chenmo’s guidance that Dong Li was able to learn so quickly and become the top student in the school. With his excellent grades, he became the only student eligible to receive the scholarship.

Hearing the news, Chen Jianmin felt envious. If he gets a scholarship, he will have money to continue his studies and be one step closer to his dream. But compared with Dong Li, who is one year younger, there is still a big gap between them. Therefore, his chances of getting a scholarship are zero.

Today he was actually able to defeat Gou Dan. He just wanted to use his injuries and situation to arouse the pity of the Dong siblings. He thought the person who stopped Gou Dan would be Dong Li. It turned out that it was Dong Huang who helped him.

Although it was different from his original plan, the result was the same. Now he had a reason to have future interactions with them using the excuse of gratitude. As long as he was good to them, he believed the Dong siblings would accept him as their friends and thus, their adoptive parents would be good to him too.

He knew what he was doing was despicable, but if he didn’t make up his mind to try every means, he would have no choice but to stay in this village and live like his parents. Suppressed and bullied by others for the rest of his life.
