Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 801

Chapter 801: Shitou’s Distress ( 1 )
Aunt Li cutting off the opportunity for Shitou to interact with his sister would harm the child and may affect his mental growth.

Although she didn’t want to interfere in other people’s family affairs, Lu Jueyu couldn’t stand by and didn’t help. After thinking for a while, he said, “Shitou, don’t cry. Aunt Li will have a talk with your grandma.”

When Shitou heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, “Aunt Li, can you tell my grandma not to be angry with my sister and let her come back? I miss her.”

“Aunt Li can’t promise you, but I will try my best to persuade your grandma. At least, let her allow you to play with your sister,” Lu Jueyu rubbed his head gently.

Although this was not what he wanted, Shitou nodded. Even if he couldn’t live with his sister, as long as he could play with her, he would be satisfied.

“Thank you, Aunt Li.”

Lu Jueyu handed the two peaches to him and asked, “These peaches are for Shitou. While Aunt Li is talking to your grandma, can Shitou wait here?”

“Okay.”

After making sure Shitou stopped crying, Lu Jueyu walked to the backyard. When she got there, she saw Aunt Li grinding wheat to make flour.

Seeing her coming, Aunt Li smiled and said, “Jueyu, why are you here today?”

Lu Jueyu sat down next to Aunt Li and said, “Aunt Li, I saw Shitou crying. That’s why I came over to see how he was doing.”

Hearing this, Aunt Li was silent for a moment and said, “Thank you for your concern, but he will be fine. Children are like this. After crying, they will forget unhappy things.”

After a moment of silence, Lu Jueyu finally said, “Aunt Li, I’m sorry to interfere with your family affairs. But I think it’s too much to prevent Shitou from interacting with her sister. Even if Li Shu is not your biological granddaughter, you have watched her grow up.”

“What’s more, she has been the one who took care of Shitou since he was born. For him, Li Shu’s place in his heart is irreplaceable. If you forbid him from seeing his sister, you will hurt him.”

After listening to her words, the smile on Aunt Li’s face slowly disappeared as she said, “Jueyu, I know you feel sorry for Shitou and Li Shu. But this is my family’s business, and everything I do is for Shitou. Since they are not brother and sister, he shouldn’t rely too much on her.”

“Aunt Li, are you worried that Li Shu will mislead Shitou because of her hatred for Chen Lina?” Lu Jueyu asked bluntly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Li looked at her with a frown and said, “So what if that’s the reason? Even if she says she doesn’t hate us, who knows what she is thinking?”

Lu Jueyu was startled by her words and said in disbelief, “Aunt Li, you watched Li Shu grow up. Don’t you understand her personality at all? If she is a grudge-bearing person, she can report your family for abusing her but she didn’t.”

“But that’s because she was injured and couldn’t leave the hospital,” Aunt Li argued.

Lu Jueyu was in disbelief when she said, “Aunt Li, Li Shu told me, she promised her father that she would not leave him. Her father was depressed because Chen Lina left home, and she felt uneasy if she left him alone. But because of you, she broke her promise.”

“What does it have to do with me?” Aunt Li asked with a frown.

“It’s because she doesn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable and put her father in a difficult place. She would rather be the bad guy. If you still think that this kind of person will mislead Shitou to seek revenge, then I think I’m wrong about your character,” Lu Jueyu said with a hint of anger.

Before Aunt Li could speak, she interrupted her, “Aunt Li, I hope you think carefully. Li Shu is the victim, and you have no right to vent all your anger against Chen Lina on her. You have no right to blame her.”

“When you think she owes you for raising her, you should reflect on yourself. Do you really raise her? Does giving her just enough to eat be called raising?”

“You didn’t give her the love and trust she deserved, and you didn’t even give her the warmth of a family. What she did for your family over these years is more than the food you give her,” Lu Jueyu added coldly.

After leaving the backyard, she saw Shitou squatting behind the wall. Looking at his blank look, she knew he heard everything. Although she felt sorry for him, she also felt sorry for Li Shu.

It was the adults who were at fault, but why were the children the ones to suffer?

After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and patted Shitou’s head and said, “If you are sad, come to Aunt Li’s house. You can play with Xiao Huang and Xiao Lin.”

Shitou looked at her with tears in his eyes but he said nothing. He didn’t nod, just stared blankly at her.

With a long sigh, Lu Jueyu rubbed his head before leaving.

After she left, Shitou looked at the peaches in his hand and finally stood up. He put the peaches in his pocket and ran out. No matter what his grandma said, he would never ignore his sister.

Thirty minutes later, Shitou finally arrived at Doctor Xie’s house. Standing outside the fence, he saw his sister having lunch with Doctor Xie.

He looked at her smiling face blankly. For as long as he could remember, he had rarely seen his sister smile. Even when she smiled, it was a shallow smile. Different from her current bright smile.

The more he watched this scene, the sadder he felt. Not long after, he burst into tears. He feels sad that his sister no longer needs him and is angry that his grandmother chased his sister away.
