Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1226

Standing in the middle of the road, Liu Pan stared at Lin Muai’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

Noticing his daze, Liu Geng patted his shoulder and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about? Teacher Lin is already gone."

Startled by the pat, Liu Pan shot his brother a glare and said with a frown, "Stop talking nonsense. We should hurry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode off in a hurry. Watching his brother walk so fast, as if being chased by a ghost, Liu Geng shook his head and sighed.

His brother was good at everything, but when it came to matters of the heart, he was frustratingly dense. Maybe that was why his wife had turned into such a jealous and insecure woman.

Even he could see that his brother was drawn to Lin Muai—how could his ex-sister-in-law, who had shared a bed with him, not notice?

It would have been great if his brother had married someone like Lin Muai instead of Shi Qiwan. Unfortunately, fate hadn’t worked in their favor.

Since there was no point dwelling on it, Liu Geng pushed the thought to the back of his mind and hurried to catch up with his brother.

At six o’clock in the morning, Liu Fuyan, Dong Li, and the other children were walking toward the school when they saw a commotion at the junction not far from them.

"Mother, Brother, please! I don’t want to marry that man!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Fuyan’s eyes widened, and she ran toward the commotion. As she approached the crowd, she pushed past the people in front of her while saying, "Let me through!"

Following closely behind, Dong Li did his best to help her move forward. When they finally reached the front, they saw Shi Qiwan tied up and being pushed into a bullock cart. A man in his fifties, wearing a red flower pin on his clothes, stood beside it while grinning at her lustfully.

The moment she saw this, Liu Fuyan knew her mother was being forced to marry that old man. Although she was never close to her, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing when she saw her mother being bullied like this.

"Stop! Let go of my mother!" she shouted while rushing forward and shoving her grandmother and uncle aside.

Caught off guard, Mother Shi fell to the ground, while her son stumbled back, barely managing to keep his balance.

"Aiyoo! My waist!" Mother Shi cried out in pain as she lay on the ground.

Ignoring them, Liu Fuyan quickly untied her mother’s hands without saying a word. Seeing her daughter, Shi Qiwan’s eyes turned red as she asked, "Ah Yan, why are you here?"

Holding her mother’s hand, Liu Fuyan replied firmly, "Mother, if you don’t want to get married, no one can force you. Come with me—we will report them to the team leader!"
