Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 876

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "He collected it from the mountain. Brother Gang, I have to pick up my wife. I will take my leave now."

"Oh, thank you, Brother Chenmo." Chen Gang said absent-mindedly.

After delivering the bamboo basket, Li Chenmo went to the Lu family to pick up his wife.

Not long after Li Chenmo left, Chen Jianmin arrived at his home. When he entered the house, he saw his parents sorting through the items he had gathered from the mountains in the front yard.

Since it was already dark, they had to work by moonlight and some lights from inside the house. Some of their neighbors were already asleep because there was no light in their houses.

After locking the gate, he walked over to his parents.

Wu Yahui saw him coming back and said, "Ah Min, why did you come back so late?"

"Mother, I came back after taking a shower at Ah Li’s house." Chen Jiamin said.

After hearing his words, Wu Yahui discovered that her son’s clothes were different from those he wore when he left in the morning.

"Ah Min, where did you get these clothes?" she asked.

"These are Ah Li’s clothes. My clothes and body were covered with dirt, so Aunt Li asked me to take a shower and let me wear these clothes," Chen Jianmin explained with a smile.

Chen Gang looked at his son from head to toe and said, "These clothes look very new."

Chen Jianmin nodded after listening to his words and said with a smile, "These are new clothes. Aunt Li made them for Ah Li, but they were too big for him. So Aunt Li gave it to me and made a new one for him."

When Chen Gang and Wu Yahui heard this, they were both stunned.

"Son, you can’t accept these clothes. They are too expensive. Even if they are too big for Dong Li, he can wear them for a few more years and they will fit. Mother will wash these clothes tomorrow, so you should return them," Wu Yahui said.

Although Chen Jianmin knew that what his mother said was right, he was still reluctant. This is his first time wearing new clothes.

Most of the time, he wore his cousin’s old clothes. When it was his turn to wear the so-called new clothes, they were already full of patches and the color already faded due to countless washing.

Seeing the reluctance in his son’s eyes, Chen Gang finally said, "Since it was given by Lu Jueyu and our son accepted it, it won’t look good to return it. I will go to the mountain to collect some firewood for them tomorrow."

When Wu Yahui heard this, she could only agree, "Then send more. Although the prices are different, at least we have to return the favor."

Although a big bundle of firewood only cost 25 cents, it was a good deal for him. After all, the firewood was free, he just had to collect it from the mountain. Selling four bundles would give him one yuan. If he sells 20 bundles, he can earn his son’s tuition for a year. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Chen Gang let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Wife, you are usually very smart. Why do you become so stupid when it comes to our children’s matters? Instead of listening to other people’s nonsense, it is better to learn how to judge others by what you see."

"After our family has a good relationship with Li Chenmo’s family, have you ever heard Lu Jueyu brag about what she has done for our son and our family?" he asked.

Wu Yahui shook her head. Lu Jueyu rarely interacts with villagers and rarely leaves home. Even if she leaves home, she will go to her parents’ home or her father-in-law’s home. She had no chance to brag about her good deeds.

Therefore, many villagers said that she was proud and arrogant, and looked down on them. Thinking about it this way, it seems that she really doesn’t understand Lu Jueyu very well.

"Then has she asked for anything from us?" Chen Gang asked again.

Wu Yahui shook her head again. Lu Jueyu not only doesn’t ask for anything from them, but she even often gives them good things and always packs some snacks for their sons.

"So, who took advantage of whom in this relationship?" Chen Gang asked for the third time.

"It seems that we took advantage of Lu Jueyu and her family," Wu Yahui said doubtfully.

Chen Gang nodded to his wife and said, "Given their family situation, there is no need for her to get too close to us. As long as she says she is looking for a son-in-law, I believe many people will flock to her house."
