Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 736

Chapter 736: Borrowing The Kitchen
“Mother, although it was Lina who kidnapped Ah Shu, she did it because of us. If you didn’t put too much pressure on her, if I cared more about her and recognized her unstable mentality earlier, such things would not happen.” Li Sang said helplessly.

“But..”

Before Aunt Li could say anything, Li Sang left the room after saying, “Mother, I’m going to talk to the doctor.”

Aunt Li looked at her son’s back and walked to the bed. She stood there, looking at Li Su, and whispered, “Da Niu, even if we could treat you like we did before, would you be able to treat us like before? After knowing what Chen Lina did to you and your biological parents, are you sure you won’t hate us or want to find your biological parents?”

Li Shu knew that her Grandma had discovered that she was awake. So, she opened her eyes and looked at her.

Aunt Li was surprised when she saw her clear eyes. She thought she would see hatred in Li Shu’s eyes. But now, she saw nothing. Her eyes were so calm as if everything they said had nothing to do with her.

After a moment of silence, Li Shu finally said, “Grandma, I can’t guarantee that I won’t find my biological parents. I want to meet them, and I want to know what kind of people my parents are.”

Aunt Li felt sad and disappointed after hearing her words. Her fears proved to be true.

“But grandma, I will never hate you and father. You two know nothing about this. I know you are partial to Shitou, but you are still very kind to me. I am very grateful to you and my father for raising me. If you want me to move out, I will do as you wish,” Li Shu added calmly.

When Aunt Li heard this, she burst into tears. She held Li Shu’s hand and said, “I’m sorry, child. I know it’s not your fault, but I can’t help but worry that you will blame us and hurt Shitou. It’s me who is selfish.”

After hearing her words, Li Shu lowered her eyes and said nothing. After a while, she took her hand back from Aunt Li’s grab and said tiredly, “I understand. Grandma, you don’t need to accompany me. I want to be alone for a while.”

Aunt Li hesitated for a long time before she picked up her bag and left the room.

Li Shu looked out the window and thought, ‘It seems that my promise to Shitou cannot be fulfilled. But this is also good. At least in this life, he won’t grow up to be a gambler and waste his life away.’

Outside the ward, Song Yan leaned against the wall beside the door. He heard everything and didn’t know how to comfort Li Shu. So, he stood outside, filled with worry and uneasiness.

He glanced at Li Shu from the door and saw her looking calmly at the sky. He didn’t know what she was thinking, but he knew she must be sad.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the cafeteria. When he arrived at the cafeteria, there were not many people dining inside.

The chef saw him and said, “Doctor Song, it’s rare to see you here at this time. Today we have your favorite steamed fish. Do you want some?”

Song Yan did not answer her question, but asked, “Aunt Wu, can I borrow your kitchen?”

Although Aunt Wu was surprised by his words, she still nodded and said, “Of course, Doctor Song, you can use the small kitchen.”

“Thank you, Aunt Wu,” he said with a smile.

Entering the kitchen, Song Yan saw some ingredients and asked, “Aunt Wu, can I buy two eggs from you?”

Aunt Wu was a little curious, so she came over and asked, “Doctor Song, do you plan to cook by yourself?”

“Mhmm, I want to make a steamed egg,” Song Yan said.

“If you want to eat steamed eggs, I can make them for you. You only need to pay me 30 cents for the ingredients.” Aunt Wu said.

Hearing what she said, Song Yan asked, “I won’t trouble you with this matter. Aunt Wu, I will pay you fifty cents, can you give me some eggs, cured meat, and vegetables?”

Aunt Wu’s eyes lit up when she heard his words. She nodded and said, “Of course, I will prepare the ingredients for steamed eggs.”

Song Yan paid the money and started making steamed eggs. Although this dish is simple, it is very fragrant because he added some sesame oil and diced bacon.

After the steamed egg was ready, Song Yan put it into a small bamboo basket and said, “Aunt Wu, I will return the utensils to you in a moment.”

Aunt Wu nodded and smiled, “Sure, take your time, Doctor Song.”

After Song Yan left, a young woman came over and asked, “Second Aunt, what did Doctor Song do just now?”

Aunt Wu looked at her niece and said with a frown, “Why do you care about what he does?”

Hearing her words, the woman said, “Doctor Song has a bright future. If I marry him, our family will benefit a lot. So Second Aunt, you must help me.”

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes at her niece and said, “Before you talk in your sleep, look in the mirror. If you stand next to Doctor Song, you will look like his mother, not his girlfriend.”

“Second Aunt, I’m just 18 years old! How can you say that to me?!” the young woman said angrily.

“Rather than wasting your time daydreaming, you better go wash the dishes,” Aunt Wu said as she waved her hand impatiently.

Although she was angry, the young woman didn’t dare to go against Aunt Wu since she could work in the hospital with her help. After stomping her feet in frustration, she could only go wash the dishes.
