Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1256

Chen Jianmin chuckled after hearing his friend’s words and said, "I don’t mind not getting paid. After everything your family has done for mine, it’s only right that I repay the favor. Besides, you were the one who found the pearls—I just helped you harvest them."

Dong Li smiled and nodded, "I get what you mean. But this and that are different matters."

Seeing his friend want to refuse again, he added, "The wild vegetables, mushrooms, and fish are yours."

"You don’t want them?" Chen Jianmin asked.

Dong Li shook his head and said, "My family already has plenty and we couldn’t finish them. You should take them home and cook something delicious for your family."

Seeing that Dong Li was sincere and not just being polite, Chen Jianmin nodded and said, "Thanks, Ah Li."

"No problem." _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

After packing up everything, Chen Jianmin headed home, while Dong Li locked up and went to find his parents.

Standing outside his parents’ room, Dong Li knocked on the door and asked, "Mother, Father, can I come in?"

Inside, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were reading when they heard the knock.

"Come in," Li Chenmo replied.

Moments later, the door opened, and Dong Li stepped inside. After closing it behind him, he walked over and sat at the edge of the Kang bed.

Lu Jueyu set her book down and asked, "Ah Li, do you need something?"

After a brief hesitation, Dong Li finally said, "Mother, Father, there is something I need to tell you."

Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Li Chenmo placed his book aside and asked, "What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Dong Li explained in one go, "Father, I found an underground cave behind a waterfall in the mountains. It’s a jadeite mine, and there is an underground river inside. I also found a lot of mussels there. Today, Jianmin and I went to harvest some pearls."

The moment his parents heard this, they exchanged glances, their expressions darkening. It wasn’t that they forbade him from going into the mountains, but the location of the waterfall was too deep inside, an area known to be filled with wild beasts.

Fixing his gaze on his son, Li Chenmo asked, "Ah Li, you knew how dangerous the deep mountains are, yet you still ventured that far?"

Guilt surged in Dong Li’s heart when he heard his father’s words, and he lowered his head.

His father had always warned him not to go too deep into the mountains, but curiosity had gotten the better of him. When he discovered the waterfall lake, excitement overtook caution, and he forgot about the dangers lurking in that place.
