Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 907

Chapter 907: Heart to Heart Talk
Liu Fuyan held a small hoe and carefully picked mushrooms, while her brother chased butterflies. Since she didn’t bring anything, Lu Jueyu lent her the bamboo basket and shovel.

After several hours of picking mushrooms, the big bamboo basket was almost filled with all kinds of mushrooms and wild vegetables. There were also several types of mushrooms she didn’t recognize.

If it weren’t for Dong Li, she would never have known that these strange-looking mushrooms could be eaten and tasted like chicken.

While she was busy harvesting, she couldn’t help but recall the conversation she had with her father a few days ago.

She already had a premonition that her father was angry with her mother and something big was going to happen during her aunt’s wedding day. But she never expected that the moment her father spoke to her in private, it would be about her parents’ divorce.

At first, she thought her father made the hasty decision out of anger. But when her father explained everything to her, she finally understood.

Her father had been holding back for so many years and endured the verbal and emotional abuse her mother had directed at her father because he wanted to give her and her brother a complete family.

When she learned everything, she couldn’t bring herself to convince her father to give her mother another chance. Because of this incident, she hasn’t been able to sleep well or eat well.

She felt sorry for her father and her brother. Her brother was too young and very close to their mother. What should he do if their mother returns to her natal family and remarries?

While she was in a daze, Dong Li came over, squatted beside her, and said, “If you use a hoe when you are in a daze, you will hurt yourself.”

After speaking, he took the small hoe from Liu Fuyan’s hand and asked, “What’s bothering you recently?”

After coming back to her senses, Liu Fuyan looked at him, hesitated, shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”

Seeing her like this, Dong Li raised his eyebrows and said, “With you hesitating like this, there must be a big problem. Did something happen at home?”

Hearing his words, Liu Fuyan was stunned and asked him, “Brother Li, why do you think something happened to my family?”

Dong Li used the shovel to pick mushrooms and said, “Besides your family, is there anything else that can trouble you so much?”

Hearing this, Liu Fuyan sighed and said, “Well, I may soon become a child without a mother.”

Dong Li was surprised when he heard this. He knew that Liu Fuyan’s father was a taciturn man, but he loved his family very much. Why did he suddenly decide to separate from his wife?

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Liu Fuyan explained, “A few days ago, my father talked to me a lot. I always thought that my parents had a good relationship, although there were occasional quarrels. So, I didn’t expect their relationship to sour for several years.”

Looking at the distant horizon, she added, “I can’t blame my father for making this decision. Although I understand my mother’s situation, I never agreed with her mentality and way of doing things.”

“I always hoped that one day she would wake up and understand her situation. But until now, she still doesn’t realize that she was wrong.”

“So, if they end up getting divorced, I won’t blame my father. I just feel sad for my brother. My father has already told me that he won’t let my mother take care of me and Qingran. He is only three years old, but he has already lost our mother’s care,” she added.

After she finished speaking, Dong Li was silent for a long time before saying, “I don’t think you need to feel sorry for your brother. On the contrary, you should be grateful that your father made the right decision.”

“Brother Li, why did you say that?” Liu Fuyan asked doubtfully.

“A strict father produces a filial son, and a loving mother always spoils her son,” Dong Li said.

Seeing that she still didn’t understand, he explained, “Your mother has always doted on your brother. Your father was worried that your brother would be spoiled and turn into a useless person. Therefore, he protected your brother’s future by not letting your mother take care of him after they separated.”

“Although a child without a mother is pitiful, it would be even more pitiable if the child grows up and turns into someone like Gou Dan. What’s more, aren’t there you and your grandma who loves your brother?”

“Since he was born, haven’t you been taking care of him most of the time? Your mother just took him to the Shi family and let him play there so that he could be closer to your maternal family,” he added.

When Liu Fuyan heard his words, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. She always felt that her brother was very pitiful because he had no mother to take care of him. But when she thought about it, it was true that the person who took care of him most of the time was herself.

So, what’s so pitiful about his current situation?

Even if their parents separate, it doesn’t mean their mother is no longer their mother.

What’s pitiful is if her brother grows up to become someone like Gou Dan!

After Dong Li enlightened her, the heavy feeling in her heart and the messy thoughts in her mind disappeared instantly. She looked at him with bright eyes and threw herself into his embrace.

Due to too much force, Dong Li was pushed back by her. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and supported his body with both hands. Otherwise, both of them might fall and get injured.

Liu Fuyan hugged him tightly, and said, “Brother Li, thank you! You are so amazing!”

After saying that, she let him go and went to find her brother.
