Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1444: Debt Has Its Debtor ( 1 )

Lu Jueyu glanced at her husband and asked, "You like me more than our children?"

"Mhmm, I love you the most," Li Chenmo replied without hesitation.

After receiving her husband's confirmation, Lu Jueyu's worried heart finally settled down. She let out a sigh and muttered, "Husband, if I become unreasonable, you can't be angry with me, okay?"

"Okay."

Meanwhile, at the school, the children finally finished cleaning up the classroom, hallway, and yard. They had finished their test and would have a long vacation until the school opened again next year.

The test results would be announced a month later at the earliest, as they needed to be submitted to the county town and provincial government for review.

When the children were done with their cleaning tasks, they took their bags and returned home. As they walked, Li Jingqian suddenly turned to Dong Li and asked, "Brother Ah Li, will you go to the mountain today?"

Hearing this, Dong Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask that? You want to go to the mountain?"

Li Jingqian nodded and said, "My mother has had a bad appetite lately because of my unborn little baby sibling. I want to find some plums for her."

Dong Li thought for a moment and said, "Since it's too late today, let's go to the mountain tomorrow. Come to my house at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

The moment he said this, the group of children all looked at him with eagerness and expectation. Meeting their gaze, Dong Li sighed and asked, "You all want to go too?"

The children nodded and replied in unison, "We want to go!"

Seeing this, Chen Jianmin chuckled and said, "Ah Li, you said it yourself. It won't be fair to bring one and leave the others behind."

Patting his best friend's shoulder, he added generously, "Don't worry, I will go with you tomorrow. I will bring my cousins and brothers too."

"Don't bring the small ones. The fruit trees are too far," Dong Li reminded him.

Thinking about the location he was referring to, Chen Jianmin nodded and replied, "I understand."

After they made plans for tomorrow, the children returned home in a good mood. When Chen Jianmin and his brothers arrived home, they saw Chen Mingze and Chen Yuze sitting on the stone chairs in the yard.

Seeing them come back, Chen Yuze walked over and said, "Second Brother, Brother Jianmin, you are finally back!"

Noticing something was wrong with Chen Mingze's expressions, Chen Jianmin patted his little cousin's head and asked, "Yuze, what's wrong?"

Chen Yuze pouted for a moment before saying, "Brother Jianmin, my grandparents want to take my brother, my mother, and me away. They said the house has been repaired and we will stay there."

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin only smiled and asked, "You don't want to live with them?"

Chen Yuze went silent for a while before replying, "If I stay with my grandpa, I have to study and can't play with my cousins or my Second Brother anymore."

Recalling how Chen Mingze acted when he first arrived, Chen Jianmin understood that he had been influenced by his grandparents. Just from that, he could guess how the Wei family looked down on them.

Even if they disdained his family for being villagers, he never felt that his family was worse than others. He never had low self-esteem, as he believed the future was in his own hands.

So, after listening to Chen Yuze's complaints, he only smiled and said, "Yuze, studying is a good thing. Not everyone gets to go to school. If your grandpa asks you to study, then study well. That way, you can have a better life in the future."

Lowering his head, Chen Yuze replied unhappily, "But I want to play with my cousins and Second Brother." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Chen Jianmin chuckled and said, "Even if you study diligently, you can still come out to play. You know my friend, Dong Li?"

Chen Yuze nodded and replied, "I do."

"Ah Li is the best student in school, but he always balances studying and relaxing. He often comes to play with us. Tomorrow, we are planning to go to the mountains to pick some fruit. If you behave, Brother will pick the sweetest one for you."

"Brother Jianmin, can I go with you tomorrow?" Chen Yuze asked.

"No, the mountain is too dangerous. You are still young and can't go there. When you are older, Brother will take you."

Hearing his firm tone, Chen Yuze only let out a soft "Oh" and said nothing. As they walked into the house, Chen Mingze followed them silently, lost in his thoughts.

When they entered the living room, they saw Father Wei and Mother Wei sitting beside Wei Zhiying. Sitting across from them were Chen Gang and his wife. The other children were playing in the bedroom.

Seeing them come back, Chen Gang smiled and said, "Ah Min, Ah Guo, Xiao Bai, you are back."

"Father, Mother, Eldest Aunt, Grandpa Wei, Grandma Wei," Chen Jianmin and his brothers greeted them.

After greeting them, Chen Jianmin sat beside his mother and said, "Father, Mother, I heard that Grandpa Wei's house is already finished."

Chen Gang nodded and replied, "We are discussing that now. Grandpa Wei plans to move out today."

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin nodded and said, "It's already late today. How about moving out tomorrow? I can borrow a bicycle from Uncle Li and help move everything."

"Won't that bother you or the Li family?" Wei Zhiying asked.

Chen Jianmin smiled and replied, "Eldest Aunt, we are family. Helping you isn't a bother at all. You don't have to be so polite with us."

Then, he glanced at Father Wei and added, "Although our family has separated household registers, life in the village is like this. We help each other and don't think too much about benefits or hidden intentions."

After a pause, he continued, "At first, I did have some misgivings about you and my cousins. After all, we never met or had any contact before. But after living together for a month, I now see Mingze and Yuze as my brothers."
