Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 786

Chapter 786: Li Shu’s Wish ( 2 )
Doctor Xie snorted at Song Yan’s words and said, “At least you are acknowledging your fault and can be taught.”

Since he still needed to visit other patients, he touched Li Shu’s head and said, “Xiao Shu, I will see you later.”

“Brother Yan, if you are busy, you don’t have to come see me all the time,” Li Shu said with a smile.

Song Yan nodded to her and left the ward with the young doctors and nurses who were stunned by how gentle he treated Li Shu.

After he left, Doctor Xie said, “Xiao Shu, after you are discharged from the hospital, do you want to live with grandpa?”

Hearing this, Li Shu nodded and said, “Grandpa, I want to live with you. My grandma has Shitou and doesn’t need me to accompany her.”

Although she concealed the truth, Doctor Xie was not a fool and knew that Aunt Li must have said something to her.

While he was grateful that they raised his granddaughter, he also didn’t like that they treated his granddaughter as a servant.

Therefore, after hearing her words, Doctor Xie understood that Aunt Li might have told his granddaughter to move out. He was angry but still had a smile on his face. He decided to stop treating Aunt Li well in his heart.

He patted his granddaughter’s hand and said, “Okay. From now on, you can do whatever you want and eat until you are full. Grandpa will try his best to give you everything you want.”

Hearing this, Li Shu’s eyes lit up and asked, “Grandpa, will you really give me everything I want?”

“Of course! Just tell your Grandpa what you want.”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Shu asked, “Grandpa, can I go to school? I want to study like other children.”

At first, Doctor Xie thought she wanted a nice dress or new shoes. So he was surprised when he heard that she just wanted to go to school. Thinking of his late wife and daughter, both of whom loved reading above all else, he smiled.

Doctor Xie was afraid that his granddaughter would be worried if she saw him sad, so he suppressed his sadness and said, “Okay. When we return to the village, Grandpa will register you at school. But you have to promise Grandpa that you must study hard and do your best.”

Li Shu was overjoyed when he heard this. With a smile on her face, she said firmly, “Grandpa, I promise that I will study hard and won’t let you down.”

“Okay! Now, you must finish breakfast and take a good rest. Only with a healthy body can you do whatever you want to do in the future,” Doctor Xie smiled and patted his granddaughter’s hand tenderly.

While the two were having a good time together, Aunt Li was washing clothes and Shitou helped her pull out weeds in the small vegetable garden.

Watching her grandson working hard, Aunt Li looked at his little hands. Both his hands were red from pulling weeds. She was distressed and thought of Li Shu.

Usually, it was her responsibility to take care of the house and vegetable garden. She never realized Li Shu had so much to do until she did it herself.

She always thought that her granddaughter did nothing but play with her brother, because every time she came back from the fields, she saw her playing and resting.

Only now did she realize how capable Li Shu was. She completed all the housework in a short time without a word of complaint. When the food she was given was less than Shitou, she ate with a smile. Maybe she always listens to her, and never complains, so she takes her for granted.

When she found out her identity, she even kicked her out of the house. After going through the hard work of taking care of the house and Shitou in these past few days, Aunt Li wanted to keep Li Shu. But after all she told her, she didn’t have the face to tell her to live with them anymore.

After hesitating several times, Aunt Li finally sighed and muttered, “Forget it. I have said those words, and it would be too embarrassing to ask her to come back.”

As soon as she stood up after washing her clothes, she saw a group of unfamiliar people walking over. Not long after, they saw them smiling at her, and the middle-aged man said, “Hello, sister-in-law. My family and I have just moved to the house next to Li Lingyun. We come to visit you.”

Hearing his words, Aunt Li opened the door and said with a smile, “Please come in.”

After they took their seats in the living room, Meng Qiaoping said, “Sister-in-law, my name is Meng Qiaoping. This is my husband Su Lide. This is my son Su Jian, and this is my daughter Su Lanying.”

“This is a little gift for you, I hope you don’t dislike it,” she added, placing a bag of mixed nuts on the table.

Aunt Li poured them a glass of sugar water and said, “Sister Su, brother-in-law, welcome to our village. My husband has passed away and I live here with my grandson Li Heng.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t you live with your children?” Meng Qiaoping asked in surprise.

“Well, my eldest son works in the county town and can only come back once or twice a year. My second and third sons live in other towns and only come back during the Chinese New Year. As for my daughters, they all live in other villages,” Aunt Li said with a smile.

In Xie village, their family was considered well-off. Her sons all have good jobs in the towns and give her money every year as a sign of filial piety. Therefore, her life is much more comfortable than others.

“It’s a blessing to have a good job,” Meng Qiaoping added with a smile.

Because they knew Aunt Li still had work, Su Lide and his family only sat there for ten minutes and then left.
