Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1382

Lu Jueyu smiled when she heard his polite words and replied, "Brother Li Sang, you don't have to be so polite. Shitou is well-behaved and smart. I'm glad he came to visit me."

After she said this, she glanced at Shitou and added, "Brother Li Sang, if possible, I would like to take Shitou as my adopted son. When you are not around, you can just let him come over and play with my children."

When Li Sang heard this, he was taken aback. He hadn't expected that his neighbor would have this kind of interest in adopting children. Although he was happy that others liked his son, he had no intention of sharing him.

So after a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Thank you for appreciating my son, Sister-in-law. But I don't have any intention of doing that."

Lu Jueyu already knew he would refuse, but she still wanted to try—for Shitou's sake. Since he disagreed, she wouldn't push it.

She nodded and said, "Well, I won't force it. Brother Li Sang, even though I won't be able to become Shitou's adopted mother, I'm still willing to take care of him when you are not around. So you don't have to worry about him."

Li Sang understood that she genuinely cared for his son. After all, everyone in Xie Village knew how his mother had treated Shitou after his divorce from Chen Lina.

He nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer," he added.

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing this, Shitou swallowed the sweet potato and said, "Aunt Li, I will come to visit you again another day."

"Then, Aunt Li will wait for you," Lu Jueyu smiled.

After a brief conversation, Li Sang left with his son and headed to Doctor Xie's house to visit his daughter. He still needed to ask her opinion regarding Shitou's situation.

Not long after they left, Houzi knocked at the backyard gate. Lu Jueyu was surprised that she had so many guests today.

When she opened the gate and saw it was Houzi, she asked, "Brother Houzi, what brings you here today?"

"Sister-in-law, I have an important matter to discuss with you and your husband. I came to inform you and will come visit tonight."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu asked curiously, "What important matter?"

Houzi looked around and replied, "It's regarding a huge order of grains. The order comes from the government, that's why I need to discuss it with the two of you."

When she heard this, Lu Jueyu frowned and said, "I will inform my husband. Brother Houzi, you can come at nine o'clock tonight. We will be waiting for you."

Houzi nodded and said, "Good, then I won't disturb you for now."

Feeling shy at the praise, Liu Piao smiled and replied softly, "Aunt Zhang is overpraising me. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Seeing her blushed cheeks, Mother Liu chuckled and said, "This girl is always like this—shy and reserved. In-laws, we will have to trouble you to take care of her more in the future."

Hearing this, Mother Zhang nodded and replied with a smile, "That's a matter of course."

While the mothers exchanged praise and polite words, the fathers shared wine. The jar of wine was a gift from Li Chenmo, and Zhang Ermu had brought it over today to please his uncle-in-law.

Sitting beside each other, Zhang Ermu picked a piece of thick, fatty meat and placed it in Liu Piao's bowl. He leaned closer and whispered, "Ah Piao, you have worked hard today. Eat more meat."

Liu Piao smiled, picked a piece of meat for him in return, and replied, "Mumu, you eat more too."

The two of them whispered to each other, lost in their own world, not noticing the elders watching them with meaningful smiles.

After so many years, the two of them had finally come together. This could be counted as a dream fulfilled for them.

Since everyone was enjoying their conversation, the lunch lasted for two hours. Afterward, Zhang Ermu helped Liu Piao clean up the table and wash the dishes.

Seeing this, Mother Liu and Father Liu's smiles deepened, growing even more satisfied with him.
