Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1413

At sunset, the villagers finally finished their work for the day and walked back to their homes.

When Chen Gang and his family returned, Chen Xiang walked over and asked, "Second Brother, are you going to let those people from the city stay at your house?"

Hearing this, Chen Gang sighed and said, "I don't know either. Even if I'm unwilling, they have already arrived. Someone has to open their doors and let them stay."

As soon as he said this, Yi Jiao chimed in, "Second Brother, I will tell you this first—my family doesn't have any free rooms for them. So, you'd better not shove them into our house."

The moment she said this, Wu Yahui frowned and said, "Third Sister-in-law, how can you say that?

"No matter what, they are still Eldest Brother-in-law's family. Even if we can ignore the woman, we can't ignore the children. The Chen family's blood is flowing in their veins."

When Yi Jiao heard this, she rolled her eyes and retorted, "Second Sister-in-law, it's easy for you to say that. After all, your sons know how to butter up Li Chenmo and his family, unlike my son."

"Even if you have trouble feeding your family, you can still go find Lu Jueyu and borrow some grain. But my family is different. We only have ourselves to rely on. We don't want to invite trouble."

After saying this, she pulled her husband and son along and hastened her steps.

Watching their backs, Chen Gang shook his head and said, "Wife, don't take their words to heart. Their family has it hard, and you know how your third sister-in-law is—always overthinking and overly cautious."

Wu Yahui sighed and nodded as she replied, "Husband, I know what you mean. But even if we have already separated, it's still not right for her to act this way as a family."

Patting his wife's back, Chen Gang said, "Alright, don't think too much. If they don't want to get involved, we won't force them. Let's go back and talk about this at home."

When they arrived home, they headed to the backyard to wash off the dirt and saw Chen Mingze chopping firewood.

His posture was rigid and awkward. His thin arms trembled with each swing of the ax. Besides him, there was a pile of chopped firewood.

Seeing this, Chen Gang quickly walked over and took the ax from him while saying, "Child, you can't play with this. The nearest hospital is several hours away. If you get injured, it will be dangerous."

Chen Mingze was startled by his sudden action and felt embarrassed by his words. Lowering his head, he said, "I'm sorry, Second Uncle. I just wanted to help. I didn't know I'd make trouble for you."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Chen Jianmin raised an eyebrow. For a moment, he saw a reflection of himself in the boy's actions and tone.

'Is he trying to win sympathy by selling pity and weakness?' he thought.
