Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1380

While Lu Jueyu was busy in the backyard, she noticed a small head peeking at her from the fence. Seeing the boy, she smiled and said, "Shitou, what are you doing there?"

She put down the sweet potato in her hand and walked over to open the gate.

"Aunt Li, can I stay with you for a while?" Shitou asked.

Noticing his low mood, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Of course, come in."

After closing the gate, she held his small hand as they walked to the balcony and asked, "Shitou, what's wrong?"

Shitou clenched his small fists and replied after a moment of silence, "Aunt Li, my father came back from town today and is meeting the woman my grandma introduced. My grandma told me to go out to play."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu recalled the gossip in the village about Aunt Li looking for a woman to marry her son. Seeing how sad the boy looked, she gently rubbed his head and asked, "Does Shitou not want your father to remarry?"

"My sister said that I can't be selfish and stop my father from remarrying, because he deserves happiness too. But those children said that if I have a new mother, my father will abandon me," Shitou said, his eyes brimming with tears.

When they reached the balcony, Lu Jueyu placed him on her lap and asked softly, "So Shitou is afraid that your father doesn't want you anymore?"

Shitou nodded and asked as he sobbed, "Aunt Li, did I do something wrong? Why doesn't my mother want me? Will my father not want me too after he finds me a new mother?"

Seeing the little boy sobbing, Lu Jueyu let out a sigh and hugged him. She gently patted his back and said, "What happened between your mother and father is never your fault. Shitou shouldn't think like that."

Wiping his tears, she looked him in the eyes and said, "Shitou, no matter what your father decides, you can come here whenever you want. Aunt Li's house will always be open for you."

"Even if no one else wants you, you still have us. At worst, Aunt Li will just take you in as our family's foster son. So don't be sad, okay?"

When Shitou heard her words, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Aunt Li, can I really come here anytime? Will you take me as your foster son?"

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Of course. Aunt Li won't lie to you."

As soon as he thought about the possibility of becoming Dong Li and Dong Huang's sibling, he clapped his hands and said, "Aunt Li, I will go back and ask my father to let me become your foster son! This way, I can play with Xiao Huang every day!"

Seeing how happy he was, Lu Jueyu laughed. She picked up a steamed sweet potato and said, "You can go back later. Have some sweet potatoes first."

In front of food, everything else could wait. Shitou nodded and took the sweet potato.
