Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 588

Chapter 588: Gratitude
Grandma Feng opened the small bag curiously and saw a stack of money inside. She was surprised and worried when she thought that this might be Li Chenmo’s or Lu Jueyu’s money. Before she could go to her husband, she saw a small piece of paper among the money. She took out the paper and read the content on it, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Although she cannot be called an educated person, Grandma Feng has graduated from elementary school and can read some words. There is only one sentence, beautifully written in simple words, ‘Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng, this is the compensation given to Feng Lin by the Chen family.’

Grandma Feng knew that her grandson’s condition was serious and he might not fully recover. There is a possibility that his arm might be disabled in the future. So, she and her husband decided to ask for some compensation for their grandson. At least, with some savings, he could find a wife even if his arm never returned to normal.

So, they went to the Chen family and asked for an explanation. But not only did they not receive any explanation, they were even violently kicked out. Her husband was also beaten by Gou Dan.

From then on, they had no hope of getting any compensation from the Chen family for their grandson. Unexpectedly, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu actually got compensation for Feng Lin.

Grandma Feng knew that they didn’t want to involve the Feng family because they were afraid that the Chen family would find them and cause trouble. Therefore, they did not tell them about this, but secretly gave the money to her and her husband.

Just as she was sobbing gratefully, Grandpa Feng heard his wife’s sobbing and entered the kitchen. Seeing his wife crying, he asked worriedly, “Wife, what happened? Did you hurt yourself?”

After listening to her husband’s words, Grandma Feng shook her head and showed him the money and note. After reading it, Grandpa Feng sighed and said, “In this case, our Feng family may not be able to repay the Li family’s kindness.”

After calming down, Grandma Feng said, “We can only treat them sincerely and remind Xiao Lin to take care of Xiao Huang at school.”

Grandpa Feng nodded and said, “Wife, hide this money first. From now on, it will become our grandson’s betrothal gift when he gets married in the future.”

Although Feng Lin is only eight years old, the two have already made plans for his future. After their son and daughter-in-law cut off the relationship with the Feng family, they were worried that they would not live long enough to see Feng Ling get married.

Due to the conditions of the family, they were afraid that he could not find a wife. Therefore, this money cannot be used and must be kept as a betrothal gift. Grandma Feng nodded and went to the bedroom to hide the money while Grandpa Feng put the wild vegetable pancakes into the bamboo basket and closed the lid.

Not long after, Feng Lin returned from school. He pushed open the door and went to the backyard to wash his hands and face. When he saw his grandma coming out of the house, he smiled and said, “Grandma, I’m back.”

“Xiao Lin, you are back. Go wash your hands and let’s have lunch together.” Grandma Feng said with a smile.

Feng Lin looked at his Grandma’s face and found that her eyes were red. He didn’t know what happened to his grandma, but he felt that it might have been caused by his selfish and unfilial father. At first, he was always resentful and angry towards his parents, doubted himself, and believed that his parents’ decision to abandon him was all his fault.

But when he interacted with the children of the Lu family and the Li family, he discovered that it was not his fault in the first place. It was his parents’ fault as they were selfish, greedy, and ambitious. When he came to that conclusion, he didn’t hate them anymore.

After all, hate comes from love. Without love, there can be no hate. He chose to liberate himself and live a good life with his grandparents. So, when he saw his grandma crying again, he just sighed in his heart and pretended not to know anything.

He smiled and said to his grandma, “Grandma, Xiao Huang brought me a tube of citrus honey water and two peaches today. We can eat together after lunch.”

Grandma Feng was shocked after hearing what he said. Honey is rarely seen in state-owned supply stores, and it is also difficult to come across in the mountains. So, she said, “Xiao Lin, have you thanked your Aunt Li, Uncle Li, and Xiao Huang?”

“Grandma, I plan to go to Xiao Huang’s house to do my homework after lunch and go fishing in the river with Brother Dong Li and Xiao Huang.” Feng Lin nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandpa Feng came over from the backyard and said, “Then you can bring over the wild vegetable pancakes your grandma made for them.”

“Okay, Grandpa.”

When Feng Lin went to wash his hands and face, Grandma Feng and Grandpa Feng went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes. Nowadays, although there is meat, eggs, oil, white rice, and white flour in their house, they still rarely use it.

For today’s pancakes, Grandma Feng mixed a bowl of corn flour and two bowls of millet flour. To add flavor and texture, she added eggs to the mix, used wild vegetables gathered from the mountains, and used a spoonful of oil to bake it. For the villagers, just being able to eat eggs and oil is already a good thing. So, the Feng family ate lunch with relish.

After finishing a simple lunch, Feng Lin poured the citrus honey water into three cups and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Xiao Huang said this was prepared by her mother for you. So, you must drink it. Otherwise, if she asks me about it tomorrow, I’d have to lie.”
