Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 789

Chapter 789: Beaten
At noon, they had lunch together. Since they lived in the same village, Mother Liu and Father Liu planned to send Xiao Li and Liu Hua back after lunch.

But after lunch, Liu Hua looked at her family and said, “Father, Mother, I have something to tell you.”

Seeing her being so serious, everyone was curious. They glanced at Xiao Li, thinking he might have pissed her off or something.

Noticing their gazes, Liu Hua said, “This is not Ah Li’s fault. It’s my fault.”

Hearing this, Mother Liu asked, “Ah Hua, what’s the matter? If you made a mistake, you should apologize. Ah Li won’t blame you.”

Under the table, Xiao Li held his wife’s trembling hand and said, “Ah Hua, I will do it.”

Then, he looked at his parents-in-law, took a deep breath, and said, “Father, Mother, Ah Hua and I have a son. We plan to bring him back to raise him. Therefore, before bringing him back, we want to let everybody know.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Pan stood up abruptly, grabbed him by the collar, and punched him hard.

“Bastard!” Liu Pan yelled angrily.

As a result of this punch, Xiao Li fell to the ground with a loud noise. The corner of his lip was torn and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that his elder brother was about to beat her husband again, Liu Hua quickly protected Xiao Li and shouted, “Brother, it’s not Ah Li’s fault, it’s me who didn’t tell him!”

Liu Pan was furious and said, “Ah Hua, get out of the way!”

Liu Hua did not obey her brother’s instructions, but hugged Xiao Li and said, “No! I won’t let you hit my husband.”

“Ah Hua, he did that to you, why are you still protecting him?! He let you bear him a son, and he only married you now. He deserves to be beaten!” Liu Geng said angrily.

“Second brother, Ah Li doesn’t know about my pregnancy,” Liu Hua said.

Liu Pan pointed at Xiao Li’s nose and shouted, “Regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, after he did something like that to you, he should bear responsibility!”

“He was drugged and didn’t know that the woman who spent the night with him was me. I didn’t tell him because I wanted him to marry me because he loved me, not because of responsibility,” Liu Hua explained with tears in her eyes.

“That’s enough!” Father Liu slammed the table angrily.

With one word, everyone stopped talking. He looked at Xiao Li, who was sitting on the ground with his head lowered, and his crying daughter, and felt suffocated.

Closing his eyes, he took a few deep breaths before calming down, and finally said, “No matter what the reason is, it’s Xiao Li’s fault even if you are married now. No one would talk about you and Ah Hua now, but what about the child? Are you going to tell everyone that he is adopted?”

This time, Xiao Li finally raised his head and said, “Father, I want everyone to know that he is my biological child.”

When Mother Liu heard this, her face turned pale and she said, “Ah Li, do you know that if you do this, your and Ah Hua’s reputations will be ruined?”

“Mother, Ah Hua and I both know this. However, we don’t want our son to grow up thinking that he has no parents. I have wronged Ah Hua and my son for so many years, and I don’t want to wrong them anymore.”

Before the Liu family could speak, they added, “Mother, Father, I’m ashamed of what I did to Ah Hua before. But I promise you, I will try my best to give her and my son what they deserve. Please trust me.”

After saying that, he bowed to them three times. The sound of his forehead hitting the ground was clearly audible, and his forehead instantly turned red from the force.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Liu Hua’s brothers looked at him with hatred in their eyes, but seeing that his sister loved him so much, they could only suppress their anger and stare at him coldly.

“Father, mother, please believe in us,” Liu Hua said, kowtowing to them.

Mother Liu turned her head, not wanting to see her daughter and son-in-law.

Father Liu considered the pros and cons for a long time, and finally said, “Since both of you have made a decision, let’s bring the child back. No matter what happens in the future, the Liu family will support you.”

Now that the head of the family has made a decision, the rest of the Liu family can only agree. While everyone was worried about this matter, Shi Qiwan was overjoyed. She could barely suppress a smile.

She couldn’t wait to let the villagers know about it. She didn’t know what would happen to Liu Hua if the news of her illegitimate child spread. She may need to move to another village due to her bad reputation.

Just thinking about it made her happy. To hide her joy, she lowered her head. But Liu Pan, who was sitting next to her, noticed everything. He was already angry, and seeing his wife rejoice over his sister’s predicament made him feel like all the years of affection he had for her were gone in an instant.

Such a woman is not worthy of being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family. With such a mother, his children may grow up to be bad people. In order to avoid regret in the future, he should divorce her. He gave her many chances but she never changed.

‘I should talk to Fuyan and Qingran first,’ he thought.

After talking to the Liu family about their children, Liu Hua and Xiao Li felt relieved. Both were prepared to spend a long time convincing her family.

Fortunately, Father Liu was decisive and made a decision. Otherwise, Xiao Li might be beaten into a pulp by the Liu brothers.

As soon as they finished cleaning up the mess, they heard a knock on the door, followed by the voice of Mother Liu’s second sister, “Fourth sister, are you home?”
