Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 857

Chapter 857: You Are Finally Back ( 1 )
Liu Hua nodded and said, “So, if you go back now, they will drain your blood. When you lose all your money, they will sell you to a widow or an old bachelor for money.”

Liu Piao took her cousin’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. I never planned to live with my father. From the day I was pushed to the river by my step-sister and he chose to hit me, I no longer yearned for his fatherly love. There was no way they were forcing me to live with my father now that I was no longer a child.”

“Cousin, it’s great that you have such an idea. How about living with me? You can live in the current room. I will talk to Ah Li about this, I believe he will not refuse,” Liu Hua suggested.

“Thank you, but I don’t plan to live here either.” Liu Piao smiled.

“Sister, are you worried that I will ask you to pay for the meal money? My husband won’t ask for your money, so just stay.”

After listening to her words, Liu Piao smiled and explained, “Now that you are married and have a son, it is not good for me and you to live under the same roof. Although we can choose to ignore the rumors and bear the bad reputation, in the long run it will cause harm to Ah Xi.”

“Given the current situation, this is already bad enough for him. What if Ah Xi is bullied because of another bad rumor? Sometimes, a child’s words are crueler than an adult’s.”

“I believe that neither you nor your husband want Ah Xi to grow up with bad rumors and constant bullying. Therefore, it is the best choice for me to live alone. I have already planned to go to the team leader to ask for a house today. So, you don’t have to worry about me,” she added.

After listening to her cousin’s words, Liu Hua could only nod her head and said, “Sister, you have done so much for me and Ah Xi, but I can’t do anything for you. I am really sorry about this.”

Liu Piao flicked her cousin’s forehead and said, “What are you thinking about all day long? After my mother passed away, only you and Ah Xiao stood up for me. You gave me a second family. Now that I have Ah Xi, I don’t even have to worry about no one to take care of me when I get old.”

“Sister, don’t you plan to get married?” Liu Hua asked in surprise.

“Well, I’m 24 years old now. Even if I want to get married, the person willing to marry me is either a widow or an old bachelor. I don’t want to be someone else’s stepmother. Those who haven’t gotten married yet may have character problems.”

Hearing what her cousin said, Liu Hua felt sorry for her and said, “Sister, since you don’t want to get married, then don’t get married. You have raised Ah Xi as soon as he was born, and you are fully qualified to be his adoptive mother.”

“When I go to visit my parents today, I will tell them about this. In the future, Ah Xi’s name will also be registered in your household register as your adopted son. In this way, someone will be able to take care of you in your later years.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xiao Li say, “Cousin, I agree with my wife. Please accept Ah Xi as your adopted son.”

Liu Piao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, “Thank you both.”

After reaching an agreement, they went to have breakfast. Later, Xiao Li put five eggs, a pound of meat, and some vegetables grown by himself into a bamboo basket for Father Liu and Mother Liu.

When they left the house, Chen Xiang saw them and said, “Good morning, Brother Li. Are they your relatives?”

After moving in, Chen Xiang’s family had a good relationship with Xiao Li and Liu Hua. Therefore, when they chat, they no longer treat each other politely as before.

Hearing his question, Xiao Li smiled and said, “Good morning, Brother Xiang. This is my wife’s cousin, and this boy is my son.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiang blinked in confusion. He scratched his head and asked, “Brother Li, you and your wife have just been married a few days ago, and this child looks about one or two years old. How could he be your son? You must be kidding.”

When Xiao Xi heard this, he looked at her parents and frowned. Although yesterday was the first time he saw his father, he knew in his heart that Xiao Li was his father. Not to mention how similar the facial features are, it is already proved by the fact that he takes after his father’s surname.

Xiao Li saw his son’s anxious eyes, patted his back gently and said, “Ah Xi, this is Uncle Chen. He lives next door to us. Why don’t you say hello to him?”

Hearing her father’s words, Xiao Xi pouted and said, “Hello, Uncle Chen.”

When Chen Xiang heard the baby’s voice, his heart felt it had been hit by an arrow. Looking at the cute baby, he couldn’t help but look at him carefully. After a while, he finally discovered the similarities between Xiao Li and Xiao Xi.

He pointed at them and said, “Brother Li, how come this boy looks like you and has your wife’s eyes?”

Liu Hua was amused by his words and said, “Brother-in-law, that’s because Ah Xi is the son of me and my husband. So of course, he looks like me and my husband.”

Although there were constant doubts in his heart, Chen Xiang also knew that something must have happened back then that caused them to only get married now. Maybe the Liu family didn’t agree with their relationship due to the Xiao family’s situation and forced them to break up.
