Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 908

Chapter 908: Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
Liu Fuyan had gathered a large basket of mushrooms and the sun was starting to set. They should go home now. Tomorrow, she is going to make a pot of mushroom soup for her family, especially, her father and brother!

When she ran to find her brother, Dong Li was still sitting on the ground, unmoving and in daze.

This was the first time a girl hugged him except for his sister and little cousin. He felt that his cheek was itchy from Liu Fuyan’s hair brushing against it, and he reached out to scratch it while the tips of his ears turned red unknowingly.

At this time, Chen Jianmin was standing in the distance, looking at him with interest. He observed his friend for a long time before raising the corners of his mouth.

Compared with their peers, he and Dong Li are both more mature, smarter, and wiser. So, he thought he was already enlightened in matters between the opposite sex like him.

Unexpectedly, his friend was still a child. But in a few years he should reach enlightenment. When the time comes, it will be interesting to see how he chases that little girl.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianmin smiled and continued digging mushrooms. He needs to come back with more mushrooms. Otherwise, Chen Jianguo would be too embarrassed to compete with his younger brother and sister for food and end up only drinking soup.

Thinking of the frail body of his cousin, now adopted brother, he let out a long sigh. That boy is too timid.

Maybe it’s because he always feels like a stranger in the house and doesn’t even dare to get food for himself. If it weren’t for him or his mother, Chen Jianguo might only eat the food in the bowl and not touch the side dishes.

After finally filling the big basket, he patted the dirt on his hands and said, “I must let Xiao Guo eat more tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the energy to study, let alone help with work.”

When the sun slowly set in the west horizon, they returned to Li Chenmo’s home. After washing off the dirt on his body, Chen Jianmin returned home, carrying the big bamboo basket on his back.

Dong Li helped Liu Fuyan carry the bamboo basket, while she held the sleeping Liu Qingran. When they passed the intersection, a group of villagers who were eating snacks and chatting under a tree saw them.

As soon as they saw Liu Fuyan and Liu Qingran, one of them waved to them excitedly and said, “Fuyan, come here. Auntie wants to ask you something.”

Although she was a little curious, Liu Fuyan still smiled and said, “I’m sorry, auntie. My brother fell asleep, so I need to hurry back.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman waved her hands and said, “Why are you in a hurry to go home now? Don’t you know that your parents had a fight at noon?”

As soon as she finished speaking, another aunt added, “Yeah, stay here and don’t go back first. I just heard that your mother cried and quarreled with your father again just now.”

“I think it would be better for the kids to go back early. After all, they might stop arguing with the kids at home,” another woman said.

A young woman looked at Liu Fuyan and gloated, “I doubt it. When they quarreled at noon, I heard that it was because Liu Pan wanted to divorce his wife. Fuyan, if your parents are separated, who will you choose? Will you follow your mother or your father?”

When Liu Fuyan heard this, her eyes darkened and she gritted her teeth to avoid cursing these annoying old people.

While she holds back, Dong Li is not one to sit idly by while others bully his friends.

So, as soon as the woman finished speaking, he looked at her and said in surprise, “Auntie, I didn’t expect that you still have so much time to worry about Ah Yan’s problems.”

“Dong Li, what do you mean by this?” the young woman asked with a frown.

Dong Li sighed, shook his head and said, “When you went into the city in the morning, I heard that your mother was beating your father. They are both already so old and have many grandchildren, yet they were still pulling each other’s hair when the matchmaker came to the door.”

“Now, the news that your mother beat your father until his face turns black and blue has spread to the surrounding villages. I wonder if any family in our brigade will dare to propose to you.”

“You are 21 years old this year, right? What if you can’t get married? It’s really worrying,” he added with a long sigh.

Hearing this, the young woman’s eyes flickered and her face turned pale. She did go into town this morning, and when she came back, her parents ignored each other and refused to come out of their rooms.

She thought they were just tired. Turns out it was because they were beating each other up. If the rumors of her parents being shrews spread to other villages, how could she find a good match ah?

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she hurried back home. At the same time, the villagers’ attention immediately shifted to the young woman’s marriage, and they forgot about Liu Pan’s quarrel with his wife.

Liu Fuyan saw this and looked at Dong Li blankly.

Seeing her standing there motionless, Dong Li turned around, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Aren’t you going back?”

When Liu Fuyan heard this, she quickly chased after him and said, “Thank you, Brother Li.”

Dong Li didn’t speak, just nodded and let out a soft ‘mn’.

When they arrived at the Liu family’s house, it was already dark, and they saw Liu Pan coming out of the house.

As soon as Dong Li saw him, he put down the bamboo basket and said, “Good evening, Uncle Liu.”
