Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 595

Chapter 595: The Shameless Su Family
At first, Lu Jueyu didn’t see anything wrong with what she said. When she saw her husband trying to hold back his laughter and looked at her meaningfully, she realized that she had praised her husband to the heavens without realizing.

She buried her head in the bowl embarrassedly and continued eating as if nothing had happened. After all, what she said was the truth, she was just stating the fact.

Knowing that his wife was thin-skinned, Li Chenmo didn’t tease her and looked at Dong Li.

“Do you know why he thinks the losses outweigh the gains?” he asked.

Dong Li thought for a while and said, “Does he want my foster father to divorce my foster mother before matching you with his daughter?”

“This is only part of the reason.” Li Chenmo said.

Hearing this, Dong Li’s eyes lit up and she said, “Foster father, I understand.”

“He thinks you are not worthy of his daughter. When you divorce your wife, you have the title of divorcee. Not to mention that you already have two children, so you must be old. Therefore, if his daughter marries you, she will become a stepmother of two children and need to take care of another woman’s child.”

Li Chenmo smiled at him and said, “Xiao Li is very smart.”

Dong Huang was confused and asked aggrievedly, “Foster father, why did you want to divorce my foster mother and marry that bad woman?”

Seeing her pouting and looking sad, Dong Li said, “Xiao Huang, we are just talking about what that bad grandpa wants to do.”

“Xiao Huang, your brother is right. If your foster father dares to find another woman, your foster mother will take you two away from here. Let’s find a handsome younger brother and let him be your new foster father,” Lu Jueyu said jokingly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chenmo’s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said gloomily, “Wife, what did you say?”

Sensing the anger in her husband’s voice, Lu Jueyu realized that her joke had gone too far and said quickly, “Husband, I was just joking. How can I find another man who is better than you? What’s more, you alone already occupy all the places in my heart. There is no longer a place for another person.”

Hearing his wife’s flattering words, Li Chenmo’s anger dissipated in the blink of an eye. He sighed, put some fish meat in his wife’s bowl, and said helplessly, “Be careful with what you say, lest the children learn bad things.”

“I know, I won’t do it again,” Lu Jueyu nodded obediently.

“Mhmm.”

When the two showed their public displays of affection, Dong Huang looked at them with starry eyes, but Dong Li suddenly felt that the food tasted like wax. Although he was happy that his adoptive parents loved each other, it was still hard for him to see them being intimate like this. He felt like he was suffocating from their sweetness and also embarrassed watching his foster father pampering his foster mother.

As he swallowed his food, he thought about the time he had seen them kissing in the backyard and thought, ‘I should have finished dinner faster and not disturbed them.’

After dinner, the children help clear the table and wash dishes before going to the bedroom to study. As for Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo, they entered her space, took a shower, and went to bed.

At the same time, the neighbors of the Gao family finally came over to pay their last respects to Grandma Gao. It was only the second day, but due to the poor preservation of the body and the hot temperature, Grandma Gao’s body had already begun to decay.

At first, the neighbors were reluctant to pay condolences and decided to wait for Da Gao to bury her. But because of the stench, they couldn’t help but come over to remind Da Gao to bury his grandma quickly.

Therefore, when Father Su came back, he saw so many people sitting in the front yard, chatting in low voices.

The moment he stepped into the front yard, everyone’s eyes were on him, making him feel uncomfortable. Despite his bad mood, he walked towards the house as if nothing happened, smiled at the villagers, and said hello.

But as he walked past a table, he heard a villager whispering to the person next to him, “I don’t know when they will leave our village. I don’t feel at ease if they stay here. After all, they are strangers and we don’t know why they are coming to our village.”

Hearing this, Father Su paused for a moment, then continued moving forward as if nothing had happened. When he entered the house, the villagers became more emboldened, and one of them asked, “Do you know what I saw when I came back from collecting firewood this morning?”

Because of his secretive tones, the villagers sitting at the same table with him were all curious.

“What did you see? Tell us quickly!” a villager urged him impatiently.

The villager cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said, “I saw that he wanted to enter Li Chenmo’s house, but was rebuffed at the gate. Let alone entering the house, his face was almost crushed by the door.”

Hearing his words, the villagers opened their eyes in surprise.

“He and his wife lived in the Gao family’s house, and while they were eating Da Gao’s food, he still went to bother Li Chenmo and his family. Why is this Su family so shameless?” A villager asked in disbelief.

Seeing everyone’s disgust and disbelief, the villager added, “Not only that, I heard that he didn’t know that was Li Chenmo’s house. He was just attracted by the beauty of the house, so he wanted to get to know the owner of the house and go inside for a visit.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman spat on the ground and said, “Bah! This must be his excuse. Who doesn’t know that Li Chenmo’s family lives in a house on the hills? I think he still dreams of Li Chenmo marrying his daughter and taking care of him and his wife in their old age.”
