Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 642

Chapter 642: Taken Advantage Of ( 2 )
After hearing Chen Bo’s words, Chen Jianmin lowered his head and said nothing for a while. When he raised his head, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by fear and powerlessness.

Seeing this, everyone sighed inwardly, thinking that this boy must be afraid of talking to his eldest uncle. After all, he was beaten badly by his eldest aunt and eldest cousin for years. So it was normal for him to fear the main branch.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Jianmin bit his lip, took a deep breath, and said, “Uncle, you said you would compensate me. Can I…can I ask how much the compensation is?”

Hearing these words, Chen Bo’s eyes flashed with anger. He still had a smile on his face, but he was cursing Chen Jiamin in his heart.

‘This little bastard! He’s really good at pretending. He used his weak and timid appearance to win everyone’s favor. It seemed like he wanted to get more money from me. If I don’t compensate him, my reputation will be ruined because of this incident.’

He just gave his ex-wife and son a lot of money. Currently, he only has about 500 yuan left. He was unwilling to compensate Chen Jianmin, but there was no other way besides giving him money. He didn’t expect that he would be put in such a predicament by a boy!

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Chen Jianmin asked timidly, “Uncle, what you said before were just to appease me? If you are unwilling, then I… I will forget about it.”

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Chen Bo knew that he had no other choice. If he didn’t fulfill his promise to compensate Chen Jianmin, he would be labeled a liar and a petty person. Although the possibility of his father-in-law and second wife knowing about this matter was very low, he still could not risk his own future.

In order to prevent his anger from exploding, he clenched his fists tightly and smiled stiffly, “Ah Min, of course I will make it up to you. You know that your uncle always does what he says and is not a stingy person.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin’s eyes lit up and he smiled brightly, “Uncle, then…what do you want to compensate me with? My mother said we need money for medical treatment and medicine. Can you give me money? I feel a pain in my chest and want to visit the hospital.”

When the elders heard what he said, one of them said, “Chen Gang, check your son’s chest and see how his condition is.”

Chen Gang quickly opened his son’s clothes and checked his body. When he saw the purple bruises on his chest and stomach, his eyes turned red with anger and Wu Yahui burst into tears.

She turned to look at Chen Bo and said, “Brother, you must compensate my son! Look how badly he was beaten. If not treated, his body will be ruined ah!”

“This…” Chen Bo was shocked when he saw the bruise. The situation was worse than he expected.

He looked around and found that everyone looked at him with anger, contempt, amusement, and pity. He didn’t know why they pitied him, but he didn’t have time to think about anything. His first priority is to resolve the matter and save his reputation.

After thinking for a while, he finally reached into his clothes, took out an envelope and took some money out. He put the money on the table and said, “Second brother, here is one hundred yuan. You’d better take your son to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.”

Seeing that the money was too little, Chen Jianmin’s eyes flashed for a moment before it returned to normal. His back and forehead were covered in cold sweat from the pain he endured. Thinking that he could only use his last trump card to force his eldest uncle, he closed his eyes and fell limply to the ground, pretending to lose consciousness.

Everyone was shocked to see him fainting.

Grandpa Chen’s second brother stood up and shouted anxiously, “Quickly, take him to the hospital!”

At this moment, the Chen family only has Chen Jianmin as their only hope. He is the only one who has a chance at a better future and lifts his family out of poverty. They couldn’t afford for anything to happen to him now.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Yuheng added, “Go to the deputy team leader and take the tractor to the warehouse. Just tell him that it was me who lent it to you.”

After listening to his words, the second granduncle’s son quickly carried Chen Jianmin on his back to borrow the tractor.

Seeing Wu Yahui still standing there, the second granduncle slapped the table and shouted, “Jianmin’s mother, what are you standing there in a daze for?! Go with your son now!”

Wu Yahui looked at the second granduncle and said, “Second uncle, I… My family has no money.”

After hearing her words, the second granduncle looked at Chen Bo and said, “Chen Bo, give the money to your second sister-in-law.”

Due to the sudden situation, Chen Bo had no choice but to take out another 350 yuan and put it on the table, “450 yuan should be enough for hospitalization expenses.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Gang quickly took the money and handed it to his wife. At the same time, he said, “Wife, you should go now. I will go to the hospital after I finish handling the things here.”

Wu Yahui nodded, put the money in her pocket, and hurried to accompany her son.

Han Yuheng only came as a witness and did not expect that the situation would escalate to this point. He rubbed his sore forehead and said, “I think we should resolve this matter now. I still have a lot to deal with and I can’t stay long.”
