Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 977

Chapter 977: Change Her Ways
Noticing that Chen Jianyan fell into a deep thought, Dong Li smiled and continued, “You don’t have to be a person who sacrifices yourself for others, but at least, there should be a bottom line in doing things. Don’t do things that you don’t want others to do to you.”

“Your second brother, he likes you very much. Despite his unfortunate experiences with his biological mother and brother, he continues to see the world in a positive light and reaches out to you.”

“Although he never says it, he is trying his best to protect you and your family in his own way. He tries his best to become healthier and stronger so that he can lighten the family’s burden.”

Chen Jianyan heard this and asked, “But I snatched his food and said bad things to him. Will he still like me?”

“Of course, otherwise, why would he let you bully him when he can clearly defeat you just now?” Dong Li asked her back.

“So, Xiao Yan, you should go back and apologize to your second brother. If you see him as he is, you will understand him. He is not his brother, and he will not treat you like how Gou Dan treats his family.”

“Also, stay away from your friends. Those who try to teach you bad things, create discord between you and your brother, and just want to take advantage of you are not your friends at all.”

“They are bad people and you shouldn’t be friends with those people. You don’t have to please anyone. If they really want to be your friend they will play with you even if you don’t give them anything. Focus on your studies and learn to be a better person.”

“My adoptive father told me that even if a pearl is covered with dust, it will not reduce its value. Even if we are farmers and live in the countryside, we are not inferior compared to people born in the city.”

“So, try to keep a more open mind, be kind, and be generous, okay?” he said softly.

Chen Jianyan nodded and said, “I understand, Brother Dong Li. I will go back and apologize to my second brother and my family.”

After hearing her words, Dong Li looked into her eyes, and no longer saw the hatred, jealousy, and arrogance like before. He took out a packet of dried fruits and a packet of milk candies from his pocket and handed them to her.

“This is for you and your siblings. Apologize to them and share these snacks. They will definitely forgive you.”

Chen Jianyan took the candies and dried fruits and hugged them in her arms. She nodded and said, “Thank you, Brother Dong Li. I will listen to you.”

After saying that, she walked up to her brother and said, “Brother, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated my second brother like that. I won’t do it again.”

Seeing that his sister really admitted her mistake, Chen Jianmin breathed a sigh of relief. He bent down and picked her up.

He held her in his arms and said, “Brother also apologized to you for hitting you. Will you forgive your brother?”

Hearing her brother’s apology to her, Chen Jianyan hugged her brother’s neck, buried her face on his shoulder, and nodded.

While he patted his sister’s back gently, Chen Jianmin looked at his friend and said, “Thank you, Ah Li.”

Dong Li waved his hands and said, “No problem. Didn’t you say that your brothers and sisters are also my brothers and sisters? You should go back first. Bring your brothers and sisters with you tomorrow. My mother said she will cook delicious food for us tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Dong Li stood there, watching his friend carry the little girl away, thinking that his adoptive mother was really amazing. The words he just said to Chen Jianyan were all taught by his mother.

At first, he doubted the little girl could change her ways with just some words. But when he conveyed his mother’s words to Chen Jianyan, she really changed her attitude.

Thinking of his sister’s shrew-like appearance before, he sighed and muttered, “It’s really hard to teach a little girl.”

Inside the house, Lu Jueyu was teaching the children to make dumplings on the balcony when she saw her son coming back. As he sat next to her, she asked, “How was it?”

Dong Li looked at his mother and said, “Mother, it’s just as you said. After I conveyed your words, Xiao Yan thought more and realized her mistake.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said calmly, “That’s good. Xiao Yan is still young, it’s not too late to teach her now.”

Li Jingqian looked at his Third Aunt and asked curiously, “Third Aunt, if my cousins make a mistake, will you also beat them?”

When he finished asking, the children all looked at Lu Jueyu, waiting for her answer.

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “Well, your cousins will still be punished if they make a mistake. As for beating them, your third aunt doesn’t think it is necessary. Your cousins ​​are all smart children. If someone points out their mistakes, they will realize their mistake.”

Hearing this, Li Jingqian sighed and said, “Why did my father beat me when I made a mistake? I am also a smart child, there is no need to beat me. I think my parents love my brother more than me.”

“There are no parents in this world who don’t love their children. Although your father beat you, he actually suffered more pain than you in his heart. So, you shouldn’t think like this. Your father will definitely be sad if he knows about it,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Li Jingxu rolled his eyes when he heard his brother’s words and said, “Brother, our father only spanked you once and that’s because you almost burned down our house. Isn’t it too shameless for you to always bring this up?”
