Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 664

Chapter 664: Breaking Promise
After washing up, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to watch over the children. Even if she didn’t do the cooking, she wanted to stay there. That way, if something happens, she could protect them and the children won’t get hurt. After all, the kitchen is a dangerous area, full of fires and sharp objects.

When the sky brightened, Li Chenmo woke up and went to the kitchen. Seeing his wife chatting with the children, he walked up to them. Leaning down, he kissed his wife’s forehead, and said, “Good morning, wife.”

“Good morning, husband.” Lu Jueyu said and kissed her husband’s chin.

Seeing him, Dong Li greeted him, “Good morning, foster father.”

“Good morning, Xiao Li,” Li Chenmo said and patted his head lightly.

Dong Huang walked up to him, hugged his leg, and said, “Good morning, father.”

“Mhmm, good morning, Xiao Huang.”

Unlike his wife, Li Chenmo just patted his children on the head when they greeted him.

Although her foster father just patted her head, Dong Huang was very happy. She looked at the steaming buns and said, “Father, breakfast is ready. Go and wash up quickly.”

“Okay,” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

After washing up and having breakfast, Li Chenmo went to the pig pen, while Lu Jueyu and the children water the vegetable garden.

Just as they were enjoying a peaceful life, Li Sang borrowed money from the factory and came to Xie village from the county town.

He borrowed 100 yuan and with the addition of his own savings, he finally had 500 yuan. The debt is deducted from his paycheck each month until he pays it off. Although it will take a long time to pay off the debt, it is better than having a wife who will beat his children.

When he arrived at Chen’s house, the sun had just risen from the eastern horizon. The sky was painted with beautiful colors and the cool breeze was soothing. Despite the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, Li Sang was in a bad mood.

Standing outside Chen’s house, he looked at Mother Chen and said, “Mother-in-law, I’m here to give Lina money as agreed and complete the divorce. Why are you stopping me from entering the house?”

Mother Chen stood with her hands on her hips and said, “Li Sang, my daughter and my Chen family have never agreed to divorce. If you came here for a divorce, you should go back. If you came here to ask your wife to go back with you, then you are welcome to come in.”

Hearing her words, Li Sang became angry and said, “Lina clearly agreed to the divorce as long as I gave her five hundred yuan. How can you break your promise now?”

“Is divorce a joke to you and can it be canceled at your will?” he added.

Mother Chen found that her neighbors came out one after another after hearing their quarrel, and said loudly, “No matter what you say, my family does not agree with divorce. Why do you want to divorce my daughter? It is you who rarely come back and let my daughter live like a widow. Now there is another woman in the county, and you want to divorce my daughter to be with her? In your dream!”

Hearing her baseless accusation, Li Sang looked at her in shock and said in disbelief, “Mother-in-law, don’t talk nonsense! I have never had another woman in the county town and have always been loyal to my wife. It was her who had another man in her heart all these years and she still refuses to accept me even after we have children.”

“Not only that, she also abused my daughter until she almost died. Aren’t these reasons enough for me to divorce her? Will your Chen family be satisfied only if I report her to the authorities? At that time, she and I were still divorced and you can forget about the money.”

As soon as Mother Chen heard that he was going to report her daughter, she collapsed to the ground and wailed loudly, “Heavens ah! What crime has my family committed? My son-in-law not only treated my daughter coldly, but also poured dirty water on her and wanted to report her to the authorities ah!”

Li Sang was shocked when he saw his mother-in-law sitting on the ground, beating her chest and screaming like a shrew. Hearing her words, he was speechless. She acted as if her daughter was the victim and he was the villain.

“Mother-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly.”

He went over to help her up, but was pushed away by Mother Chen.

“Don’t touch me! You ungrateful bastard! You begged me and my husband to let you marry my daughter. Now you want to divorce her, have you forgotten your promise back then?” Mother Chen asked angrily.

Recalling every word he said at that time, Li Sang clenched his fists tightly and said, “Mother-in-law, I keep my promise in mind and will never forget it. I tried my best to meet Lina’s request. But, have you forgotten the promise you and Lina made to me and my family back then?”

This time, Mother Chen became nervous when she heard what he said. She didn’t expect that he would actually talk about that promise now, and she wanted to interrupt his words.

But before she could speak, Li Sang interrupted her, “At the beginning, your family and Lina promised me that they would treat me well and not favor boy over girl. But what will happen now? My daughter was beaten half to death by her! If it weren’t for Doctor Xie and the Li family, my daughter would be dead now.”

“She has violated her promise and let me down so much. Can’t I divorce a woman with such a vicious heart? Do I have to wait until she kills my child before divorcing her?” he asked angrily with reddened eyes and heavy breathing.
