Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1270

Dong Li hid the money in his clothes before heading to the kitchen. Seeing the things his mother had prepared, he smiled and said, "Mother, if you ever want to send something to my grandparents, just let me know."

"There is no need to trouble you. Your father sends them some supplies once a month," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

Dong Li nodded, hoisted the bamboo basket onto his back, and said, "Mother, I have my keys, so you don't have to wait up for me."

"Alright. Be careful on the road, and take your flashlight," Lu Jueyu reminded him.

"Got it."

After he left, Lu Jueyu locked the doors before she and her husband went to their bedroom. Once inside, they locked their bedroom door and entered her space.

As for Dong Li, he rode his father's bicycle. With the bicycle's light, he didn't need to use his flashlight.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the Lu family's house. He pushed open the gate, entered the yard, and parked his bicycle outside Lu Han's house.

Seeing that the lights in his grandparents' house were already off, he didn't knock and instead went straight to his uncle's house.

He knocked on the door while saying, "Eldest uncle, it's me, Dong Li."

Before long, the door opened.

Chen Anwen was taken aback to see him and asked, "Ah Li, what brings you here so late? Did something happen at home?"

"Eldest Aunt, I came to visit my uncle and bring something from my parents. My mother said these are for my grandparents and uncles," Dong Li replied.

Hearing this, Chen Anwen gestured for him to come in and said, "Your mother keeps sending things home. Just keep them for your family—we still have enough."

"Eldest Aunt, this is my parents' filial piety to my grandparents. Please don't refuse."

Chen Anwen looked at her nephew and sighed helplessly, "You, ah… Auntie can never win against you."

After placing the bamboo basket down, Dong Li asked, "Eldest Aunt, is my uncle home?"

"He is taking a bath. He should be done soon," Chen Anwen replied while pouring him a cup of warm tea.

"Eldest Aunt, I will wait for my uncle. You should go rest—don't worry about me."

Knowing that the boy must have something to discuss with her husband, Chen Anwen nodded and said, "Just treat this place like home. No need to be so polite."

After saying that, she went to her bedroom to coax her son to sleep.

Sitting in the living room, Dong Li sipped his tea while looking around. The house was smaller than his parents' but larger than the villagers' homes.

The living room, about 15 square meters, had a table and several chairs. Two cabinets lined the wall, used for storing miscellaneous items.
