Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1323: By Default

Although her cheeks were being pinched, it didn't hurt at all. So, Dong Huang grinned and said, "Second Uncle, my mother asked me and my brother to send things for your friend."

Hearing this, Li Lingyun let go of her cheeks and stood up. When he saw Dong Li, he asked, "Ah Li, what did you bring?"

Dong Li put down the bamboo basket and said, "Second Uncle, my mother said that you might not be able to prepare much, so she sent over some fabrics, two sets of men's and women's clothes, a bag of cotton, and two cotton-padded jackets."

"Second Uncle, my father also gave one blanket similar to yours," Dong Huang added.

When Jiang Ziyu heard this, he checked the bamboo basket and asked, "Are these for me?"

Dong Li nodded and replied, "Uncle, my father said these are wedding gifts for you and your wife."

"Uncle, can we have your wedding candies tomorrow?" Dong Huang asked.

Jiang Ziyu was grateful to Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu, which made him find their children even more pleasing to the eye. He nodded and said, "Uncle will give you more candies and some wedding money tomorrow."

The moment she heard this, Dong Huang clapped her hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Dong Li glanced at the sky and said, "Second Uncle, we will go back first. My parents are still waiting for us to have dinner together."

"Okay, convey my thanks to your parents," Li Lingyun nodded.

Not long after they left, Pan Meijia came out of the kitchen and said, "Husband, I heard Xiao Huang and Ah Li's voices just now. Where are they?"

"Xiao Huang and Ah Li have already gone back. If you miss them, just go visit them another day," Li Lingyun said as he walked to the kitchen.

Pan Meijia sighed and said, "The children seem busier than us adults. It's so hard to see their faces even if I visit the Third Sister-in-law."

Li Lingyun chuckled and replied, "They are at the age where they can't stay at home. It's normal for them to go out and play with their friends."

While the two of them brought out dinner to the living room, Jiang Ziyu was checking the things in the bamboo basket.

Besides the items Dong Li listed just now, there were several packages of roasted nuts, two pairs of red candles, ten packages of wedding cakes, and five packs of candies.

He took a pack of candies and opened it. Inside, there were not only maltose and White Rabbit candies but also fruit candies and peanut candies.

Just the candies alone must have cost them a lot of money.

When he reached this conclusion, Jiang Ziyu smiled. It was no wonder that the Li family was known for their generosity in this village. They were indeed too generous.

He put everything back into the bamboo basket and didn't realize that under the cotton-padded jackets were two bottles of fruit wine, a bottle of rice wine, and two bottles of premium-grade tonic wine.

"Ziyu, let's eat first," Li Lingyun called.

"Coming," Jiang Ziyu replied and went to the living room.

At the same time, Dong Li and Dong Huang were on their way back when they saw Shitou plucking the leaves of nearby bushes in his family's yard.

After his mother was divorced by his father and taken away by the authorities, no children were willing to play with him and always called him a criminal's son.

Besides the Lu and Li families' children, only Li Shu still treated Shitou the same as before.

Now, seeing him so sad, Dong Li and Dong Huang walked over.

Standing outside the fences, Dong Li carried his sister in his arms so she could see the other side.

"Shitou, what are you doing?" Dong Huang asked curiously.

Hearing her words, Shitou raised his head and stood up. He wiped the tears from his eyes before saying, "My grandma told me that she would find a new mother for me when my father returns next time."

"Is your grandma planning to find a stepmother for you?" Dong Huang asked in surprise.

Shitou nodded and said, "My grandma said that my mother is a jinx and harmed my father. Now that she is no longer around and my father is still young, my grandma wants to find a better wife for him. But I don't want a new mother."

When they heard his words, Dong Li and Dong Huang went silent. The two of them understood Shitou's unwillingness at this moment. No one would be happy to see their parents split up and be with someone else.

After a moment of silence, Dong Huang said, "Shitou, don't be sad. You should ask your father when he returns. If your father really has the intention to remarry, you can just be like Ah Lin."

"You don't have to live with your father and his new wife. Just stay with your grandma. After all, you didn't live with your father for so many years. What's more, isn't it good to live here?"

Shitou lowered his head and replied, "It's good, but my friends no longer want to play with me. I can't go find Xiao Feng every day, and my sister is busy."

"Then, how about you come with me next time? Ah Lin and I will bring you to find mushrooms and catch fish. We can play together," Dong Huang said.

Shitou looked at her smiling face and asked timidly, "C-can I really play with you and Brother Feng Lin?"

"Of course! We are neighbors—we are friends by default!"

When Dong Li heard his sister's words, he chuckled and said, "Where did you learn those words?"

"It's what Brother Jianmin said to Sister Li Shu. He said that he is her childhood sweetheart by default a few days ago. Ah Lin and I heard it," Dong Huang explained.

Shitou nodded and added, "Brother Jianmin also said that I'm his brother-in-law by default."

As soon as Dong Li heard this, he was speechless at his friend's shamelessness. He even lied and tried to brainwash a kid.
