Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 875

Chapter 875: His Brother-In-Law
Hearing her father’s question, Dong Huang said, “Uncle Xiao Li said that father was back. So, he didn’t stay and returned to his home.”

Hearing this, Li Chenmo didn’t ask any more questions and went to boil water. After the water was ready, he asked Dong Li and Chen Jianmin to take a bath before he went to take a bath.

Chen Jianmin felt refreshed after he took a bath and began to sort out the things he had brought back from the mountain.

“Uncle Li, thank you for today. I should go back now,” he said after he finished sorting.

Looking at the dark sky, Li Chenmo looked at Dong Li and said, “Xiao Li, you stay at home and take care of Xiao Huang. Father will go to pick up your mother.”

Dong Li nodded and said, “Okay.”

Since he was riding a bicycle, Li Chenmo added three fish, two hares, and fifty kilograms of wheat to Chen Jianmin’s bamboo basket.

He tied it on the back seat and said, “Jianmin, you can walk slowly. Uncle Li will send your things back to your home.”

Chen Jianmin knew that if his neighbors saw him carrying so many good things, they would definitely cause trouble for his family. Therefore, he was very grateful to Li Chenmo for his considerate suggestion.

“Thank you, Uncle Li. I’m sorry to bother you,” he said.

“No bother, it’s along the way,” Li Chenmo said casually and then left on his bicycle.

After he left, Chen Jianmin also returned to his home. Before leaving, Dong Li handed him a bag of wild fruits and said, “Here, help me give it to Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan.”

Since his friend often gives his sister some good things, as Dong Huang’s brother, he should return the favor.

Chen Jianmin accepted the bag and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

Not long after leaving Li Chenmo’s house, he saw Shitou peeking at him from the fence. Since the boy was his little bride’s brother, he was also his brother-in-law.

As a good brother, he should share some good things with him. With his little bride’s concern for the boy, maybe if the boy could help him say a few nice words in front of Li Shu, it would be easier for him to get close to her.

With this in mind, Chen Jianmin walked over and said with a smile, “Hello, Li Heng.”

Shitou was taken aback by his words. Rarely anyone called his name instead of his nickname, He looked at him and said, “Hello, brother Jianmin.”

“What are you doing?” Chen Jianmin asked.

Shitou looked at Li Chenmo’s home and then at the bag in Chen Jianmin’s hand. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “I just looked at the stars.”

Noticing Shitou’s eyes keep darting to the bag in his hand, Chen Jianmin showed a smile on his face and asked, “Li Heng, do you like eating wild fruits?”

Hearing this, Shitou nodded.

“I have some wild fruits here, do you want some?” he opened the bag and asked again.

As soon as the bag was untied, the scent of wild berries filled the air. Shitou swallowed and looked at the fruits without blinking. Although he wanted to eat wild fruits, he still remembered his sister’s words.

He shook his head and said, “My sister said I can’t eat other people’s food. Brother Jianmin, keep it for yourself.”

Chen Jianmin patted his little head and said, “Your sister is right. However, if your brother gave it to you, you can accept it.”

“Really?” Shitou asked.

Chen Jianmin nodded.

“Can I have some then?” Shitou asked.

“Of course. But you must say good words about me in front of your sister,” Chen Jianmin said.

Shitou asked doubtfully, “What good words?”

Chen Jianmin thought for a while and asked, “Do you think your brother Jianmin is good?”

Shitou nodded and said, “Brother Jianmin is good because you gave me something to eat.”

“Then do you think your brother Jianmin is handsome?” he asked again.

This time, Shitou frowned as he looked at his face. After he hesitated for a while, he finally said, “Brother, you are not handsome.”

Chen Jianmin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He was very sure that he was a handsome boy. Is this child blind? How could he not see how handsome he was?

But before he could speak, Shitou added, “You are not handsome, but you are very beautiful! Brother Jianmin, you are the most beautiful person besides Aunt Li!”

Hearing these words, Chen Jianmin was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot. He hates it when people say he is beautiful!

But when he looked into Shitou’s sparkling eyes, he took a deep breath to control his emotions, and thought, ‘Calm down, he is my brother-in-law. I can’t hit him.’

After a while, he finally suppressed his anger and said with a stiff smile, “Li Heng, your brother is a boy. A good-looking boy is called handsome not beautiful. Do you understand?”

Although Shitou didn’t quite understand, he nodded and said, “I understand. Brother Jianmin is handsome and not beautiful.”

“Good boy. When you see your sister, remember to praise my handsomeness, intelligence, and generosity, okay?” Chen Jianmin coaxed.

“Okay!” Shitou agreed readily.

Chen Jianmin was very satisfied with his answer and finally gave him one-third of the wild fruits before returning home.

In the Chen family, Li Chenmo knocked on the gate and waited for a while. Not long after, the bamboo door opened, and Chen Gang walked out from behind the door.

Seeing it was Li Chenmo, he asked, “Brother Chenmo, why did you come so late? Did something happen?”

After parking the bicycle, Li Chenmo untied the bamboo basket from the back seat and said, “Brother Gang, I’m here to deliver this. This is Jianmin’s portion.”

Looking at the bamboo basket, Chen Gang was stunned, “Brother Chenmo, is this all my son’s share?”
