Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 826

Chapter 826: Return to Xie Village
As soon as Pan Chimu finished speaking, Pan Chiyan added, “Don’t forget to send me some too. Thank you in advance, brother-in-law.”

As soon as these words came out, Li Lingyun was finally able to feel at ease. He was welcomed as the son-in-law by the Pan family.

While they were enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Father Su was hiding at the corner of a dark alley in the county seat near Xie village.

Although he managed to escape that day, the police officers escorting him ended up being seriously injured by other prisoners, and one of them died. Therefore, the police were ordered to arrest them, dead or alive.

While other prisoners fled to the capital and returned to their gangs, Father Su never intended to join any gang. Fearing that he would be killed by the other prisoners if he did not go with them, he escaped overnight.

It had been five days since he escaped from other prisoners and returned to the county seat. With no money and no food, he had no choice but to return to Xie Village to find his daughter.

He hopes to get some money from her so he can go to another city and start a new life.

But before he could go back to find her, he heard that his daughter and son-in-law had been arrested by the police for murdering Xiao Gao and being involved with the Black Hawk Gang.

The moment he heard the news, Father Su felt that his world collapsed. With no money and no one to help him, he wandered around the desolate alley. To survive, he could only steal food and drink sewer water every day.

Every time he was caught stealing, he was beaten by the thugs. He was covered in bruises and cuts, huddled in this dirty corner. He felt that his stomach was burning with pain due to hunger and he no longer had the strength to walk.

Thinking of his wife, hatred arose in his heart. He thought his wife would find a way to save him. Unexpectedly, she ran away before he was caught. It must have been that woman who reported him!

He looked at the dark sky and whispered, “I can’t die here. I must find her and teach her a lesson to relieve my hatred.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed out blood and suddenly felt his stomach was burning. He felt that the pain in his stomach and body increased as the time passed slowly.

Enduring the pain, tears and snots stained his dirty face. He gritted his teeth as he curled up while holding his stomach and said, “I don’t … want to die…Someone, help…”

Before he could finish his words, saliva and blood flowed from his opened mouth as he breathed his last. Even in his death, his eyes were wide open full of unwillingness.

As a person who aspires to become a powerful person who was looked up to by the masses, dying like a mouse in a dark and dirty alley corner is the most humiliating ending for him.

Because he hid in this secluded spot, it took a month before anyone smelled the rotting stench and reported it to the authorities. When the police arrived, Father Su’s body had decomposed beyond recognition. His flesh was covered in maggots and some bones could be seen.

After being taken back to the morgue, no one came to collect the body half a month later. In the end, the authorities could only burn his body and scatter his ashes in a mass grave, leaving nothing behind.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia to return to Xie village.

Before leaving, Li Lingyun looked at Father Pan and said, “Uncle, after the summer harvest, I will bring my family to propose.”

“Okay, just write us a letter so we can make preparations,” Father Pan nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

After spending a few days with him, everyone in the Pan family was very satisfied with this son-in-law. Considering his age, they agreed to let him and Pan Meijia get married this year.

Pan Meijia hugged her mother and said, “Mother, you don’t have to save the money I give you. Just use it if you need it.”

Mother Pan patted her daughter’s hand and said, “How will we use your dowry money? You don’t have to worry about your father and me. We have money to spend.”

Before leaving, Pan Meijia hugged her parents again and said, “Mother, Father, we will come to see you again. Please take care of yourself.”

“Be careful on the road,” Mother Pan reminded them with tears in her eyes.

When Father Pan saw that his wife was about to cry, he said, “You should leave now, otherwise you will be late.”

“Then, we will take our leave now. Uncle, aunt, see you next time,” Li Lingyun nodded to them, and then picked up their bags.

When they returned to Xie village this time, their luggage was not as heavy as before. They only bought some clothes, shoes, and snacks for the Lu family, Li family, and their friends.

Li Lingyun held the bag in his right hand and took his girlfriend’s hand with his left hand as they left. Since it was still early, no one saw them leave.

As the two set off on their way back to Xie village, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were busy helping Li Lingyun take care of his vegetable garden.

Since they used water mixed with the spiritual herbs powder, the vegetables grow luxuriantly. Each plant is nearly twice the size of the previous one.

Looking at the plump eggplant, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, is there enough food in the warehouse to sell? Should we go there to replenish the inventory?”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “It should be enough for a few days, but we can go there tonight to replenish the inventory.”

Hearing her husband’s words, Lu Jueyu nodded and asked in a low voice, “Husband, do you have any news about the black market situation?”
