Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

With her sons' and daughter-in-law's persuasion, Mother Wang finally agreed to go home. Out of all her children, only her youngest daughter had the most similar temperament to her. That's why she loved her the most.

Not long after, Lu Han and Chen Anwen arrived home. When they opened the gate, they saw Shitou playing with Lu Wenfeng.

Seeing them coming, Shitou walked over and greeted them, "Uncle Han, Aunt Anwen."

Getting down from the bicycle, Chen Anwen rubbed his head and asked, "Has Shitou eaten?"

Shitou nodded and replied, "Shitou already ate at Grandpa Xie's house. My sister gave me some snacks too. I brought some for Xiao Feng."

Chen Anwen smiled and praised, "Shitou is a good boy. He knows how to share with others."

"My sister said that one cannot be stingy and must know how to repay kindness," Shitou replied proudly.

Hearing his words, Chen Anwen chuckled and asked, "Can Shitou help Aunt Anwen with the bamboo basket?"

Shitou nodded and said, "Of course!"

Afterward, he helped carry the empty bamboo basket to the woodshed. While he was busy, Lu Wenfeng was digging up earthworms and putting them in a can. She planned to feed them to the chickens later.

When they went to the backyard, they saw Father Lu just coming out of the kitchen. Seeing them, he said, "You are back. How is the second daughter-in-law?"

"Father, my sister-in-law and the children are safe and sound. They will return in three days," Chen Anwen replied.

"That's good. There are some eggs in the kitchen. You can make some ginger eggs for your sister-in-law," Father Lu said.

"Okay," Chen Anwen nodded.

While she was cooking lunch, the Shi family was on their way to Shi Qiwan's new home.

As they walked, Shi Dalang's wife shouted, "Everyone, please come and be the judge, ah! My sister-in-law ran away from home and refused to marry, causing my mother-in-law to be bedridden."

"Now, my mother-in-law can only lie in bed and cannot move. Yet, she still asked us to pay her 100 yuan as compensation! Where is the justice, ah?!"

Due to the loud shouting, everyone's interest was piqued. Since they had already finished lunch and had nothing to do, they followed the Shi family to see what was going on.

Unaware that her family was coming to cause trouble, Shi Qiwan was cleaning up the weeds in the front yard with the help of her daughter and the children.

Liu Fuyan wiped the sweat from her forehead as she took a break. It had been four days since her mother was forced to marry an old man by the Shi family. Seeing how her mother no longer looked depressed or anxious every day, she felt happy for her.

Even if she couldn't have a perfect family like other children, as long as both of her parents could find their own happiness, that was enough for her.

While she wished that this peaceful life could last forever for her mother, reality was not that simple.

Just as she returned from the house after drinking some water, she heard the sound of people shouting and cursing in the distance. She walked to the fence and saw that it was her maternal uncle's wife who was shouting.

After hearing her words, Liu Fuyan understood that the Shi family had come to cause trouble today.

After thinking for a moment, she went to find Dong Huang and said, "Xiao Huang, can you help me find the team leader or vice team leader? Just tell them that someone is beating my mother."

The moment Dong Huang heard this, she nodded and said, "Sister Fuyan, leave this matter to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she bolted out of the house and ran toward the production team's office.

Taken aback by her sudden action, Feng Lin quickly dropped the weeds in his hands and ran after her while shouting, "Xiao Huang, wait for me!"

When Dong Li saw this, he walked over to Liu Fuyan and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

Liu Fuyan pointed in the direction of the Shi family and said, "Brother Dong Li, it seems that my maternal uncles and their wives are coming to settle scores with my mother. So, I asked Xiao Huang to help me call the team leader or vice team leader."

Dong Li looked at the road and saw a large group of people approaching. He washed his hands and said, "Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything in broad daylight."

Hearing his words, Liu Fuyan felt her anxiety ease. Strangely, she felt safe whenever Dong Li was around. It was as if he could solve all problems. He was only three years older than her, yet he somehow behaved like someone far more mature.

Thinking about this, Liu Fuyan could only lament that he was lucky to have been adopted by Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu. Both of them were known as talented people in their brigade. With such capable parents, it was no surprise that he was better than his peers.

While she was lost in thought, the Shi family and the villagers arrived.

Shi Dalang's wife kicked the old bamboo fence gate open and stormed into the yard while shouting, "Shi Qiwan, you vicious woman, come out!"

Seeing her brothers and sisters-in-law approaching while holding sticks, Shi Qiwan was surprised. She put down the scythe she was holding and asked, "Eldest sister-in-law, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"

The moment she spoke, Shi Sanlang's wife scolded her, "You vicious woman, you still dare to ask us what's going on?! Don't you know that Mother is bedridden and can no longer move because of you?"

Shi Qiwan was taken aback by her words and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what happened to Mother?"

Shi Sanlang's wife snorted at her and said, "Shi Qiwan, stop pretending. We know you have always been unsatisfied with our Shi family. That's why you want to harm us."
