Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 762

Chapter 762: The Xiao Family ( 2 )
Everyone thought this group of people should be villagers who came to get some wedding candies. So, Aunt Lin went to open the door, and Aunt Su walked over to them.

“Aiya, why are you all standing here? Come and have some wedding candies,” she said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, the old man in front of her turned around, and she finally saw his face.

Aunt Su was stunned for a moment and asked with surprise, “Uncle Xiao, why are you here?”

Grandpa Xiao snorted at her words and asked her, “Why? Could it be that my grandson got married without even notifying his family, so I can’t even come here?”

Listening to his tone, Aunt Su knew that the Xiao family didn’t have a good intention for coming today. Back then, they were the ones who kicked Xiao Li out of the house and never cared about his life or death after his father’s death.

Now, the whole village knows how generous Xiao Li is to the Liu family. So, they must have come to get some benefit from him after hearing this news.

Just when Aunt Su’s mind was racing as she tried to look for a solution to solve this tricky situation, Aunt Lin came over with a smile on her face. If people take a closer look, they will notice that her smile is not reaching her eyes.

“Uncle Xiao, what a surprise ah! I never expected to see you here today,” she said while looking at people from the Xiao family meaningfully.

Hearing her words, Grandpa Xiao’s face darkened and he asked with a frown, “Niece, what do you mean with those words?”

Aunt Lin thought for a moment and said, “Uncle Xiao, if I remember correctly, when you kicked Ah Li out of the house and removed his name from your Xiao family’s genealogy, you said that whatever happens to him in the future has nothing to do with the Xiao family and whatever happens to the Xiao family has nothing to do with him.”

“At that time, Ah Li was only a five-year-old child. After twenty years, you come here acting as his grandfather. This… is not appropriate, right?” she asked.

Hearing what she said, Grandpa Xiao and everyone in the Xiao family became angry.

But before anyone could speak, Aunt Lin added with mockery clear in her voice, “Ah, I forgot, after your son died, you blamed his death on Ah Li’s mother and drove her out of the village.”

“You also spread the news that she eloped with another man which made Ah Li called by others as a bastard and his lineage was being doubted for years,” she added coldly.

She walked up to Grandpa Xiao and said in a low voice, “Uncle Xiao, don’t you think the cause of Ah Li’s mother’s death is suspicious? She loves her son very much, so she will never jump into the well due to shame. Over the years, I don’t know if those who killed her can sleep well at night.”

Hearing her words, Grandpa Xiao opened his eyes wide in shock. He looked at her and asked in a low voice, “What do you know about her death?”

Aunt Lin clenched her fists when she saw him like this. Over the years, she has only had some suspicion that her best friend’s death was related to the Xiao family. But without evidence or witnesses, she couldn’t report it.

Looking at Grandpa Xiao’s reaction now, she was convinced that Grandpa Xiao at least knew about the death of Xiao Li’s mother.

As much as she wanted to know about it, now wasn’t the time. Today is Xiao Li’s wedding day. So, she can only control her emotions and cover her hatred with a smile.

“Uncle Xiao, today is Ah Li’s big day. Although you are no longer his grandfather, you are still welcome to join in the fun as fellow villagers. But if you do anything inappropriate, don’t blame me for not giving you and your Xiao family a face. You know I can talk about everything when I’m angry, right?”

Hearing this, Grandpa Xiao turned pale and said through gritted teeth, “You dare?!”

Aunt Lin smiled at him and said, “Uncle Xiao, then you can try it. See if I dare or not.”

After she finished her words, she waved her hand to Li Lingyun and said with a big smile on her face as if the one who threatened Grandpa Xiao was not her, “Lingyun ah, since they are guests, we should at least give them some wedding candies.”

Then, she walked towards Xiao Li, and Li Lingyun gave everyone in the Xiao family two candies.

Due to his intimidating aura, the Xiao family didn’t dare to do anything and could only accept the wedding candies before they stepped aside, for fear that if they made a ruckus, he would do something to them.

As Li Lingyun and Aunt Lin dealt with the Xiao family’s affairs, Xiao Li and Liu Hua entered the house smoothly.

Not long after the bride and groom entered their wedding bedroom, Lu Jueyu, Chen Anwen, and several aunts came over carrying pots and baskets filled with food.

This time, Wang Muxiao and Zhang Dongmei did not come due to their conditions. Although Wang Muxiao wanted to help, seeing her belly, no one dared to let her join the fun.

As for Zhang Dongmei, she still felt nauseous and dizzy, so Lu Jueyu asked her to rest. Since she couldn’t help herself, she asked her cousin and aunt to come over and help.

At first, they disagreed because they lived in another village. But after hearing that they could eat and bring some food back, they agreed to come. Some of them even brought their children with them to save some food at home.

After Lu Jueyu learned about this, she thanked her sister-in-law and her relatives. She has many ingredients in her space. Therefore, even if they eat a lot, there is no problem in bringing some back.
