Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 966

Chapter 966: Rare Opportunity
Little did Li Shu know that she was making excuses for Chen Jianmin. She doesn’t find him disgusting or hate him when she suspects him of doing something bad. Instead, she worried that he would get into trouble if he did so.

She was busy and didn’t have time to think deeply about her unusual behavior. It was not until midnight that the villagers finally returned home.

Seeing the tired look on her Grandpa’s face, Li Shu locked the door, and then walked to her Grandpa. She massaged her grandfather’s shoulder and asked, “Grandpa, what’s wrong with the villagers?”

Dr. Xie looked at the patient’s condition record he had written and said, “Judging from the symptoms, they seem to have food poisoning. But there is nothing strange about their food.”

“Grandpa, maybe they eat poisonous mushrooms,” Li Shu said.

“This is possible because mushrooms grow a lot in the foothills. Many of the poisonous mushrooms that grow there look similar to edible mushrooms. If you are not careful, you can eat the wrong mushrooms,” Dr. Xie nodded.

Hearing this, Li Shu nodded and said nothing more. After a while, Dr. Xie said, “Okay, it’s not early anymore. You should go to sleep now. Grandpa will check the medicine inventory before going to bed.”

Li Shu nodded and said, “Good night, grandpa.”

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu and her family got up before dawn and went about their morning routine as usual.

The difference is that Dong Li will now go to the pig pen to help Li Chenmo since there were 60 pigs in total. Therefore, it took Lu Jueyu and Dong Huang longer to water the vegetable gardens.

When Li Chenmo and Dong Li arrived at the pig pen, Li Chenze and Li Lingyun were already busy scooping pig manure into the cart.

Seeing that their Third Brother brought Dong Li with him today, Li Chenze asked, “Third Brother, why did you bring your son too? This place is dirty and smelly, just let Xiao Li help your wife.”

Hearing this, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Xiao Li is not that delicate. He often helps me deal with things at home, and he can tolerate this smell.”

Dong Li nodded at his father’s words and greeted his uncles, “Eldest uncle, second uncle, good morning.”

Li Chenze took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, handed it to his nephew, and said, “If you feel the smell is unpleasant, just cover your nose with it.”

Dong Li did not refuse and took the cloth, “Thank you, Eldest uncle.”

After he wrapped the cloth around his face, Dong Li went to get the shovel and started working.

Li Lingyun saw him working without complaint and said with raised eyebrows, “Third brother, your son is not bad. There are few boys who would not make a fuss about the smell and dirt in the pigsty.”

Li Chenmo looked at his adopted son, nodded, and agreed with his second brother.

“Indeed. My son is different from others. As the son of our Li family, he will definitely be strong and capable when he grows up.”

There was a hint of pride in his voice when he said this.

When Dong Li heard his father’s words, he felt happy and relieved in his heart. He always acts cautiously, fearing to bring shame to his adoptive parents or the Li family and the Lu family. Fortunately, he did not disappoint his parents and their families.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Lingyun said, “It would be great if we could take the children with us to the capital. Let them understand the situation in the city and learn new things.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenze frowned and said, “Xiao Li and Xiao Huang are too young. We can wait a few more years before taking the children to the city.”

Li Chenmo glanced at Dong Li, saw his expectations, and smiled, “It will be difficult to bring Xiao Huang with us since she is too young, but it is not impossible to bring Xiao Li.”

“After the exam is over, the school will have a half-month vacation before the new semester begins. We can take Xiao Li with us. Although he is only 12 years old, he is stronger and smarter than his peers. With him following us, he can help us,” he added.

When Li Chenze and Li Lingyun heard this, they both nodded. Despite his young age, Dong Li is almost 160 centimeters tall. In a few years, he might be as tall as them.

He can now carry 80 kilograms of grain for several hours without any problems. With him helping them move things, their wives can rest more.

What’s more, boys shouldn’t be raised like girls. They need to go out to look at the world more and be trained. So, they could protect their family and be more open minded when they grow up.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Lingyun finally said, “Then let’s take Xiao Li with us.”

“Now that you have decided on this matter, let Xiao Huang stay with me. I feel uneasy leaving a little girl alone in the house,” Li Chenze reminded his third brother.

“Okay, thank you, Eldest brother,” Li Chenmo nodded.

Dong Li was very excited when he heard this. He didn’t expect that his father would agree to let him follow them to the capital. He was grateful that his second uncle thought of him, and even more grateful that his father agreed with his second uncle’s idea.

How many children in the entire brigade can visit the capital? The number can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, this opportunity did not come easily and he should learn as much as he could when he goes there.

Although his sister couldn’t come with him this time, he could tell her what he saw and heard in the capital. In this way, she can know the situation of the city and be more knowledgeable.
