Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 855

Chapter 855: A New Family Member ( 1 )
Hearing Chen Jianmin’s question, Chen Jianguo was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t like him but I don’t want him to die. He is my only brother.”

“Don’t you know that dreams are opposite to reality?” Chen Jianmin asked.

“Our grandfather once told me,” Chen Jianguo nodded.

“So, your brother is still alive. It’s just that he may have gone to a far away city and you will never see him again. There is a saying that good people die early and bad people live a thousand years. Do you think your brother is a good person or a bad person?” Chen Jianmin asked again.

This time, Chen Jianguo immediately replied, “He should be… a bad guy.”

“Mn, a bad person like him can live for a thousand years. So, stop thinking about that dream. Besides, you are also children of the Chen family. Even if your father, your mother, and your brother have left you, don’t you still have your cousins?” Chen Jianmin said.

“In addition to your paternal cousins, you have many maternal cousins. If you add all your cousins ​​together, you can form a group of twenty to thirty people. With so many people, do you still think that you have no brothers?” he added.

Chen Jianguo was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he asked, “Cousin, can I live with you?”

“Why do you suddenly want to live with me? Is your mother’s family treating you badly?” Chen Jianmin asked with a frown.

Chen Jianguo shook his head and said, “They were very good to me. However, I have a different surname and my aunts said they didn’t have enough food for me to eat and no money to buy medicine for me.”

When Chen Jianmin heard this, he sighed in his heart. Indeed, even if the descendants of the Gao family accept Chen Jianguo, their daughters-in-law may not agree to accept him.

After thinking about the pros and cons, he said, “Then let’s tell my parents. From now on, you will live with us and go to school with Xiao Bai and me.”

When Chen Jianguo heard this, his eyes lit up. He released the hug and asked, “Cousin, can I really go to school?”

Chen Jianmin patted his cousin on the head and said, “Well, your father gave my parents a lot of money when we separated the household. This money should be enough to pay for our tuition. Since you want to live with me in the future, you should be like Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan, call me brother.”

“Okay, brother!” Chen Jianguo nodded obediently.

Seeing that his cousin was no longer sad, Chen Jianming took his hand and said, “Let’s go in. After watering the vegetable garden, we could have breakfast.”

Coming out from the kitchen, Wu Yahui was a little surprised to see Chen Jianguo coming to visit early in the morning. She looked at the sky and saw that the sun had not risen yet.

When she walked up to them, she saw Chen Jianguo’s red and swollen eyes. She knelt down, took a closer look and asked, “Jianguo, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

“Second aunt, I…I…”

Chen Jianmin patted his head and said, “Mother, can we let Jianguo live with us?”

Wu Yahui was startled by her son’s question and asked her son, “Why is it so sudden? Aren’t he and his grandfather’s family living a good life?”

“Mother, no matter what, Jianguo’s surname is Chen. He should live with us, not with the Gao family. You know they have a lot of children. It’s hard for them to provide enough food for themselves, not to mention Jianguo needs more nourishing food and he also needs to go to school.”

“More importantly, we got a lot of money from his father. It should be enough for his tuition. As for food, I will go to the mountains with Uncle Chenmo and Ah Li. So, you don’t have to worry that we won’t have enough food,” he added.

Wu Yahui knew that her son often followed Li Chenmo and Dong Li into the mountains, and would bring a large amount of staple food, vegetables, and even meat or wild animals when he came back. Therefore, she did not have any objection.

“That’s not the problem. The problem is with the Gao family. We should at least inform them,” she said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Gang came over and said, “Then I’ll inform them. From now on, Jianguo will live with us. As for school matters, I will go find the principal after I get off work.”

After listening to his father’s words, Chen Jianmin nodded and asked, “Father, what about Jianguo’s household registration? After the family separation, Jianguo should be registered in my uncle’s name. But he has severed family ties with his wife and sons.”

“He was supposed to go with his mother, but she left without making any plans for Jianguo. She also didn’t change her household registration. Finding a job without a household registration will be troublesome in the future.”

Hearing this, Chen Gang frowned. After a moment, he looked at his wife and said, “Wife, Ah Min is right. How about we adopt Jianguo? Since his parents are gone, it shouldn’t be a problem to put his name in ours. If he finds a job in the future, he can use our household registration book.”

Chen Jianguo’s eyes lit up when he heard this. But thinking of his aunt’s previous words, the light in his eyes dimmed. No one wants to raise someone else’s child. When they don’t have enough to eat, they are not qualified to do charity.

Wu Yahui looked at the thin boy and sighed. If it were before, she would definitely refuse. It was impossible for her to raise Gao Shun’s son while her own child was not even well fed. But now, she knew that the boy in front of her had nowhere to go. He was abandoned by his parents and his relatives refused to take him in.
