Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1324: Ancestors’ Teaching

Seeing that the little boy was still feeling sad, Dong Li reached into his pocket and took out a handful of candies. He usually stored some candies to coax his cousins and sister. Now, he used them to coax Shitou.

He handed the candies to him and said, "Don't cry. If you are sad, eat a piece of candy. My mother said that eating sweet things can lift your mood."

Holding a handful of candies, Shitou stopped crying instantly. He had never received so many candies before and asked, "Brother Ah Li, are these candies for me?"

Dong Li nodded and said, "You can only eat one candy every three days, or your teeth will rot. When you finish your candies, tell me, and Brother will give you more."

The moment he heard this, Shitou nodded and finally smiled. "Thank you, Brother Ah Li!"

"It's dark outside. Go inside, or you will get bitten by the mosquitoes," Dong Li said.

Shitou put the candies in his pockets before waving his hands and running into his house. Seeing that the little boy closed the door, Dong Li turned and walked home with his sister in his arms.

Hugging her brother's neck, Dong Huang asked, "Brother, do you think Uncle Li will find a new mother for Shitou?"

Dong Li shook his head and replied, "Brother doesn't know either."

"Then, Brother, if one day you were in Uncle Li's position, would you marry a new wife?" Dong Huang asked again.

Hearing this, Dong Li pinched his sister's nose lightly before saying, "Brother will never end up in Uncle Li's situation. Even if one day your future sister-in-law leaves me, Brother will never remarry."

Dong Huang tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because our Li family's descendants will only have one spouse for their entire life. Brother will only love one woman for the rest of my life," Dong Li replied with a smile.

"Does that include Xiao Huang?" Dong Huang asked.

"Well, if Xiao Huang wants to follow our ancestors' teaching, then you must bring the person you like to let your brothers and cousins see first in the future. This way, you can avoid being scammed and having to marry two men," Dong Li said casually.

Dong Huang didn't understand her brother's meaning, but she knew that she didn't want to marry two men. What if her future children felt sad like Shitou? They would be too pitiful.

"Xiao Huang understands. In the future, Xiao Huang will bring the person I like and let Brother and cousins help me judge," she nodded.

Seeing his sister's obedient behavior, Dong Li kissed her forehead and praised her, "Good girl. Brother will catch a rabbit and make a pair of gloves for you as a reward."

As soon as she heard this, Dong Huang smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother! You are the best!"

Dong Li was satisfied with his sister's promise. He opened the gate and locked it after they entered. Unlike usual, he carried his sister all the way to the backyard.

In the backyard, Li Chenmo was digging up two beggar chickens when he saw his children.

When they saw him, Dong Huang wriggled in her brother's arms while saying, "Father!"

Dong Li lowered his body and let his sister down. When he straightened his waist, his sister had already squatted beside their father. He walked over and greeted him, "Father."

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Both of you came back at the right time. The beggar chickens are ready. Go wash your hands and help carry the food from the kitchen to the living room."

Dong Huang's mouth watered when she smelled the fragrance in the air. She quickly washed her hands and said, "Father, Xiao Huang will go call Mother for dinner."

Seeing her running, Li Chenmo reminded her, "Don't run, be careful of falling."

"Okay!" The voice lingered but the little person had already disappeared from their sights.

Dong Li smiled and washed his hands. Afterward, he carried the food cooked by his father to the living room.

As he placed the food on the table, he thought that even if his father's food didn't look as good as his mother's, it still smelled delicious.

Not long after, Li Chenmo came in holding a tray filled with chopped roasted chicken. He had already removed the big bones to make it easier to eat.

When Lu Jueyu and Dong Huang joined them, the family started eating their dinner.

Meanwhile, in the house not far from them, Lu Jueyu's maternal cousin, Song Li, was having dinner with his family.

Unlike Li Chenmo's family, who had meat at every meal, Song Li's family only had thin porridge and pickled vegetables for dinner.

Looking at the food, Zhao Ya said, "Husband, how about I go borrow some food from my parents? Ah Min just recovered from sickness, and he needs to nourish his body."

When he heard this, Song Min said, "Mother, I'm fine. We have already troubled my grandparents too much. If you go back to borrow food again, my uncle's wife will be unhappy."

Hearing his brother's words, Song Wen nodded and added, "Mother, I heard from the children that we can find grains and vegetables in the mountains. I will go find some to supplement our family tomorrow."

"Ah Wen, the mountains are too dangerous. You are not allowed to go," Song Li said with a frown.

"But Father, our family's food won't last until the next harvest. I promise not to venture too deep, just the perimeter between the mountains and the foothills," Song Wen said.

Song Li didn't say a word when he heard his eldest son's words. Seeing his father's solemn expression, Song Wen didn't dare to say another word.

After a long silence, Song Li finally said, "I will go find my cousin tomorrow and see if we can borrow some food from her."

"Husband, we rarely interact with your cousin. If you suddenly go and ask to borrow food, what will she think of us?" Zhao Ya said.
