Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1380: Failed Blind Date

Seeing the little boy sobbing, Lu Jueyu let out a sigh and hugged him. She gently patted his back and said, "What happened between your mother and father is never your fault. Shitou shouldn't think like that."

Wiping his tears, she looked him in the eyes and said, "Shitou, no matter what your father decides, you can come here whenever you want. Aunt Li's house will always be open for you."

"Even if no one else wants you, you still have us. At worst, Aunt Li will just take you in as our family's foster son. So don't be sad, okay?"

When Shitou heard her words, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Aunt Li, can I really come here anytime? Will you take me as your foster son?"

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Of course. Aunt Li won't lie to you."

As soon as he thought about the possibility of becoming Dong Li and Dong Huang's sibling, he clapped his hands and said, "Aunt Li, I will go back and ask my father to let me become your foster son! This way, I can play with Xiao Huang every day!"

Seeing how happy he was, Lu Jueyu laughed. She picked up a steamed sweet potato and said, "You can go back later. Have some sweet potatoes first."

In front of food, everything else could wait. Shitou nodded and took the sweet potato.

Since he was no longer sad, Lu Jueyu let him sit on the side while she continued slicing sweet potatoes. With Shitou chatting beside her, the house no longer felt so quiet.

At the same time, in the next house, Li Sang was sitting in the living room with a dark expression. Sitting across from him was a woman in her twenties. Beside them sat his mother and a matchmaker.

Today, Li Sang had returned from town to visit his son and daughter after receiving a letter from his mother. He thought something had happened to his children and took two days' leave.

He rushed back in worry, but when he arrived, he didn't see his son. Instead, he saw two strangers at home. The moment he saw the woman and the matchmaker, he realized he had been tricked by his mother.

Noticing her son's displeasure, Aunt Li let out an awkward chuckle and said, "Son, this is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family from the neighboring village, Cheng Miaoli."

"She is 28 this year and has a nine-year-old daughter. Her husband died of illness and she lives with her parents. She was gentle and hardworking. Mother believes she will take good care of Shitou."

Hearing this, the woman smiled shyly and greeted him, "Hello, Brother Li Sang."

Li Sang looked at the woman indifferently and said bluntly, "Comrade Cheng, I have two young children to take care of and no plans to remarry. Thank you for coming, but please go back now."

The matchmaker's smile froze instantly at his words. She glanced at Aunt Li and saw her angry, embarrassed expression.

She had thought today was just a formality—after all, Aunt Li had already approved of Cheng Miaoli.

Aunt Li had urged them repeatedly to come, so the matchmaker assumed Li Sang was aware and had agreed to this match. Unexpectedly, he hadn't even known about today's meeting.

Usually, it was the man who visited the woman. But due to Cheng Miaoli's situation, they agreed to come over, even if it meant lowering the woman's standing. Now, with Li Sang not even giving them any face, there was no reason to stay and be humiliated.

With that thought, the matchmaker snorted and stood up. She looked at Aunt Li and said, "Sister-in-law, you kept urging us and begging us to come over. I thought we had known each other for years, so we agreed to lower ourselves to visit."

"But is this how you treat us? Since your family had no intention of marrying my niece, why did you string us along? Are you looking down on my Cheng family?"

After she said that, she pulled Cheng Miaoli up and said, "Let's go!"

Cheng Miaoli had been smitten with Li Sang for a long time and was unwilling to leave just like that. She stared at him, hoping he would pity her and change his mind.

Unfortunately, no matter how long she stared, he didn't even glance her way. Even after she left, he didn't look back. In the end, she could only leave with regret.

After they were gone, Li Sang finally turned to his mother and asked, "Mother, is this why you asked me to come back?"
