Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1166

Fearing that Dong Huang would say something that would make his little bride misunderstood him, Chen Jianmin quickly explained, "Xiao Huang, you misunderstood. Brother Jianmin wasn’t staring at Liu Fuyan."

Scratching her head, Dong Huang asked again, "Then who were you staring at, Brother Jianmin?"

Before he could reply, Feng Lin chimed in, "If it wasn’t Fuyan, then was it Brother Dong Li?"

Since Feng Lin and Liu Fuyan were close in age, they called each other by name.

Chen Jianmin’s forehead wrinkled in exasperation as the misunderstanding grew wilder. While he was thinking about how to deal with these two curious radishes, he could only show a stiff smile.

He admired Dong Li’s patience with Dong Huang’s antics. If it had been his own sister, Chen Jianyan, who asked such questions, he might have flicked her forehead by now.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jianmin said, "Xiao Huang, Xiao Linlin, you both really have vivid imaginations. I was just looking at the pond, thinking about when to go fishing. How can you think that I’m looking at someone?"

Hearing this, Dong Huang’s eyes lit up and forgot about her curiosity instantly. She fondly remembered the thrill of catching big fish from the mountain river and immediately exclaimed, "Brother Jianmin, Xiao Huang wants to go fishing too!"

Her loud voice caught everyone’s attention, and soon all the children were clamoring to go fishing in the mountain river. Sitting beside Liu Qingran, Dong Li glanced at his friend with a dark face.

Dong Li knew if his sister went, he would have to go too. Managing so many children with just him and Chen Jianmin would be exhausting, not to mention the risks involved.

If he has to take care of the children, where would he have the time to enjoy fishing? It was precisely for these reasons that he had only taken his sister and Liu Fuyan on previous trips.

Sensing Dong Li’s annoyance, Chen Jianmin chuckled and said, "We can go fishing in the river, but not the mountain river. It’s too dangerous, and we don’t have time to go."

Hearing this, the children’s excitement faded instantly, their energy deflating like wilted vegetables battered in the winter snow.

No matter how much they pestered him afterward, Chen Jianmin remained firm. After washing the bowls, he went to help harvest vegetables, effectively ending their plans to go to the mountain river.

Realizing they wouldn’t be going to the mountain river, the children finally gave up and focused on helping Lu Jueyu instead.

While they were busy in the vegetable garden, Xie Xuanzi and Xiao Yiguan followed Doctor Xie into the mountains, each carrying a basket on their back.

After Xiao Yiguan had found wild ginseng in the mountains, Doctor Xie decided to try his luck as well. It wasn’t greed that motivated him but the pressing need to replenish his low stock of wild ginseng.

The trees here were older and towered high with big trunks. Their wide, dense canopies block most sunlight. The ground, covered in a thick layer of decaying leaves, made the area ideal for growing mushrooms. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}
