Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 593

Chapter 593: Not a Good Person
Father Su was startled by his voice and turned around only to see two children were looking at him warily. He smiled at them and asked, “My little friend, do you live here?”

Dong Li observed him for a while, recalling the rumors he had heard before. Looking at that unfamiliar face, it must be Da Gao’s father-in-law. He heard that Su Anna was still bothering his adoptive father even after she married Da Gao.

She also wrote a letter to her parents, deceiving them by saying that she and his adoptive father had made a promise to get married, and that his adoptive mother was the third party who ruined their relationship. Now seeing this man sneaking around while holding a small package, he could guess what he wanted.

He did not answer Father Su’s question, but repeated his question instead, “Grandpa, who are you and what are you doing here?”

Seeing that they had no intention of answering his question, Father Su was a little annoyed. But if he wants to get to know the young man, he needs to enter the house. And to do this, he can only start with these children.

Father Su squatted in front of them, raised the package in his hand, and said, “Little friends, there are maltose candies here. If you let me go in with you, I will give you some. How about it?”

Upon hearing this, Dong Huang frowned and said, “Grandpa, my mother told me that it is not good to accept food from strangers. Also, why do you want to enter my house?”

Hearing her words, Father Su was stunned and asked, “Little friend, who is your mother?”

Dong Huang pointed to the door and said, “My father is the owner of this house, and my mother is his wife.”

Father Su glanced at them and asked, “Is there a young man living with you and your parents here?”

Just as Dong Huang was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, Dong Li said, “The young man you are talking about must be my father.”

Father Su was stunned by his words and asked, “Little friend, how old are you?”

“I am 11 years old this year and my sister is 5 years old. Uncle, you haven’t told us what you are doing here yet,” Dong Li looked at him doubtfully.

This time, after knowing their ages, Father Su was a little disappointed. The man already has a wife and two children. Although he has a big house, he is still an old man. A divorced villager with two children is not worthy of his daughter. After coming to this conclusion, Father Su stood up and left without saying a word.

Looking at his leaving figure, Dong Li’s wary eyes turned cold and he said, “Xiao Huang, if you see this person in the future, stay away from him. He is not a good person.”

Although Dong Huang didn’t know why her brother said that, she believed him. So she nodded and said, “Brother, don’t worry. Xiao Huang would run away as soon as I saw him.”

“Good girl.” Dong Li smiled and touched her sister’s head.

He used the key given by Lu Jueyu to open the door and entered the house. After locking the door, they went to the backyard and put the fish into a basin of water.

Today, they caught a total of eight fish, three of which were given to Feng Lin, and the rest were taken back by Dong Li and Dong Huang. After giving away two fish just now, they left with three more fish. Because the basket was too small, the fish almost died when they put it in the basin.

But as soon as the fish came into contact with the water, it suddenly became lively as if it had been injected with drugs. Watching the fish swimming around, Dong Huang said in surprise, “Brother, the fish is not dead yet.”

Dong Li squatted by the water basin and looked at the fish thoughtfully. He had long had doubts about the water and food at home. They taste better compared to other people’s food and drinks. After a long period of consumption, he found that his body was much healthier and stronger than before.

Although it may be that he gained nutrition from eating meat and vegetables and never went hungry again, the damage left by long years of hunger and beating on his body was serious. Even with the help of medication, he was unlikely to fully recover. Therefore, he guessed that his adoptive parents may have added a few things to the food and drink they consumed.

All this time, he only had doubts. But today, he finally got the evidence. While surprised, Dong Li didn’t feel the slightest bit afraid. Not only did he know about food and drink, but he also knew that his adoptive parents were involved in private dealings.

Every night, the aunts would come to help his adoptive mother make snacks and sell them on the black market to earn money. Unlike other children who remained innocent, he was mature enough to understand the risks of doing so.

Since there was nothing he could do to help them, all he could do was make sure his sister didn’t know about it, lest she spill the beans and tell others about what his adoptive parents did.

After making up his mind, Dong Li patted his sister’s head gently and said, “The fish just fainted. It’s normal for it to become lively again when it returns to the water.”

Although Dong Huang was smart, she trusted her brother very much and never doubted him. So after hearing his words, she nodded and said thoughtfully, “I see, so that was the reason.”

After successfully deceiving his sister, Dong Li smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go wash up first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenmo came back from the pig pen with Lu Jueyu. The two went there to replenish pig feed and pellets.
