Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1041

When things settled down, Lin Muai planned to check on him through his daughter. As long as he was doing well, that was enough to put her mind at ease.

At the same time, Liu Pan was visiting the Liu family’s elders. Except for the Grand elder, the other elders were also present.

Sitting in the great elder’s house’s living room, he finished explaining what happened between him and his wife and said, "Granduncle, this is what has happened. Because of her actions, I want to remove Shi Qiwan’s name from our family genealogy book."

Initially, the family elders disagreed with Liu Pan’s decision to divorce his wife. After all, what couple doesn’t argue or quarrel?

They advised him to talk with his wife and clear up the misunderstanding. Since she had given birth to his children, they thought he shouldn’t cast her out so abruptly.

But after hearing his full explanation, the elders were furious. They never expected Shi Qiwan to use the Liu family’s money and food to support her natal family. What’s worse, she had gone so far as to harm the reputation of a Liu family daughter.

The fourth elder slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "What an ungrateful woman! If not for Liu Pan, her natal family wouldn’t be able to live as comfortably as they do now. Not only is she ungrateful, but she also dared to harm the daughters of our family!"

If Liu Piao’s reputation was ruined, it would affect not only her but all the Liu family’s unmarried daughters. Therefore, the family elders couldn’t, and wouldn’t, forgive Shi Qiwan for reporting Liu Piao to the authorities.

Following the fourth elder’s words, the second elder added, "Fourth brother is right. This kind of woman should have been cast out long ago. Our family couldn’t accept someone with such a black heart!"

"Grandnephew, don’t worry. Your second granduncle will support your decision," he added.

When the Grand elder heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Brothers, please calm down. Even though what Grandnephew said was right, we still have to discuss this matter with the Shi family. After all, our families are distantly related, so it would be best to settle this peacefully if we can."

The second elder snorted and said, "What kind of relatives would harm their own family? Based on what Shi Qiwan did, Liu Pan has every right to divorce her. Our family will never tolerate such a vicious woman!"

The Grand elder sighed at his brother’s words and persuaded, "Second brother, we need their explanation regarding the report as well. That way, we can help clear our family’s daughters’ reputations."

The elders calmed down when they heard his words and said no more. Seeing that everyone was now open to negotiating with the Shi family, the Grand elder looked at Liu Pan and asked, "Grandnephew, what do you think?"

Liu Pan thought for a moment and replied, "Granduncle, I will follow your decision. I only hope that the children will stay with me and that Shi Qiwan will have nothing to do with them in the future."

Although he couldn’t provide his children with luxury, he could still gather wild fruits for them. Thinking that he would soon be able to get rid of his unreasonable wife, he walked briskly and was in a good mood.

Meanwhile, Liu Fuyan and her brother were busy foraging for mushrooms near a bamboo grove with the children. Since this grove could only be accessed through Li Chenmo’s house, Zhang Dongmei came along with the children.

As they foraged, Zhang Dongmei tidied up the house. Although she couldn’t carry or lift heavy items, she was able to do simple chores like sweeping and mopping. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

While she was busy cleaning the house, Chen Jianmin was preparing to harvest wild honey he had previously found. Unlike his last find, which was on a tree branch, this honey was inside a dead tree trunk.

The tree, located between the foothills and the forest, was massive. Based on the size, the tree was likely several hundred years old, with a trunk so wide it would take three adults to encircle it.

When he peeked inside, he saw the entire trunk filled with honeycombs, so large they took up the entire space. Due to the comb’s size, there was a substantial number of bees.

Fearing for the safety of Li Shu and the children, he hadn’t brought them along. Now, he filled a long bamboo tube with straw and dried twigs. Lighting it, he capped the tube, which had small holes to release smoke.
