Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 526

Seeing his grandson lower his head and admit his mistake, Grandpa Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he can be taught.

Although he was relieved, Grandpa Chen still had a straight face and asked again, "What did you do wrong?"

Clenching his fist, Gou Dan said, "Grandpa, I shouldn’t hit others or hurt them."

While he said this obediently, Gou Dan was cursing Grandpa Chen in his heart, ’Old man, I’ve already apologized! Is it necessary to humiliate me like this?! Don’t think I will listen to your every word like my father!’

Gou Dan’s mother stood behind Grandpa Chen, praying in her heart that her son would listen to her and not disobey his grandfather. She knew that if her son went against his grandfather now, he might be beaten again.

After all, their family had spent nearly two thousand yuan cleaning up the mess her son had made.

At this moment, not only her father-in-law but also her brother-in-law and their families were dissatisfied with her son. Her husband works in the city and only comes back once during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, she and her son had to rely on her father-in-law for everything.

Over the years, because her father-in-law favored her husband and son, she gained a lot of power in the family and often bullied other branches. Therefore, she cannot lose this favor, otherwise, she may suffer retaliation from other branches.

Hearing her son’s words, she breathed a sigh of relief, but Grandpa Chen nodded and said, "Now that you have realized your mistake, you can go back to your room and rest. Go to the farm with your uncles tomorrow and earn work points."

When Gou Dan heard what his Grandpa said, he suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise, "Grandpa, are you telling me to work in the fields?"

"Is there any problem with this?" Grandpa Chen asked him.

"Grandpa, I am the one who will become the family head in the future. How can you ask me to do such a dirty job?" Gou Dan asked again.

After hearing what he said, Grandpa Chen became angry. If it were before, he would have let his grandson do whatever he wanted. But now, things are different. After they separated the family’s household registration, their family was left with only six adults and nine children.

As for the children, only Gou Dan, his younger brother, and his two paternal cousins are strong enough to get full work points. As for the other five children, they are too young to work in the fields, so they can only collect pigweed in exchange for work points.

Without branch members handing over their food rations every year, the main branch can barely support themself. Therefore, they cannot afford to support idle people now.

What’s more, Gou Dan is already fifteen years old and is physically strong enough to work in the fields. They also need to do something to change people’s opinion of him so that he can find a good girl to marry.

Before Gou Dan’s mother could speak out to save the situation, Grandpa Chen waved his hand, and a loud slapping sound echoed in the hall.
