Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1406: Return To The Root ( 1 )

Meanwhile, at Yun village, Feng Chen knocked on his family's gate. Standing outside the gate, he raised his head to look at the dark sky and felt that the heavy burden was lifted from his heart, and he could finally breathe again.

He waited for a long time, but no one came out, so he squatted beside the gate while eating a hard mixed grains steamed bun.

Almost an hour later, he finally saw a group of people walking toward his direction. He stood up and waited with anticipation.

Walking beside his grandparents, Feng Lin saw a familiar figure standing outside their house. After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he ran over while shouting, "Father!"

Seeing his son and his parents, a smile finally appeared on Feng Chen's face. Squatting down, he opened his arms to hug his son.

After his father returned a few times to visit him and the two of them had a long conversation, Feng Lin no longer held anger, resentment, or disappointment toward his father.

As for his mother, since she has a new family, he wasn't worried about her nor had any intention to disturb her new family.

Throwing himself into his father's arms, he asked, with joy clear in his voice, "Father, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell us first? Have you waited for a long time?"

Hearing how energetic his son was, Feng Chen chuckled and said, "Father has just arrived and was not waiting too long."

Standing up, he carried his son in his arms and asked, "Did Ah Lin go to visit Xiao Huang?"

Holding on to his father's shoulder, Feng Lin shook his head and replied, "Grandpa, Grandma, and I went to help Aunt Li prepare Uncle Zhang Ermu's wedding banquet. We just came back."

"Father, we brought back a lot of food. Have you eaten? These dishes were cooked by Brother Ah Li and Brother Jianmin. It's very delicious," he added.

Feng Chen laughed and said, "They are so amazing."

Feng Lin raised his chin and patted his chest, proudly declaring, "Of course, they are my brothers!"

"Ah Chen, let's go inside first," Grandma Feng said.

"Mother, Father, I'm back," Feng Chen greeted them with a smile.

Grandpa Feng looked at his son and saw that he was no longer depressed, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Patting his son's shoulder, he said, "It's good that you are back."

After they entered the house and locked the gate, Grandma Feng went to heat up the food they brought back. While Feng Chen ate, Feng Lin told him about his study, friends, and what he had been learning lately.

When he finished his story, Feng Chen had already finished eating. He brought his son to wash up and put him to sleep before he went to his parents' bedroom.

Sitting on the Kang bed, Grandpa Feng said, "Ah Chen, sit down."

Sitting across from his parents, Feng Chen said, "Father, Mother, this time I return, I don't have any plan to leave anymore. From now on, I will stay in this village to take care of the two of you and Ah Lin."

Hearing this, Grandpa and Grandma Feng only nodded. After a moment, Grandpa Feng asked, "How about your wife and Feng Heng?"

The moment he heard this, Feng Chen's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fists tightly. He took several deep breaths to calm his emotions before he said, "Father, Mother, I have divorced Yang Mengyao. As for Feng Heng, he is not my son."

As soon as they heard this, Grandma Feng asked with doubts, "Ah Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Feng Chen looked at his mother and replied, "Mother, I was schemed against by them. The one who violated Yang Mengyao back then was her uncle's adopted son. He used me as a shield and put all the blame on me."

After a moment of pause, he continued, "I have never been intimate with her, let alone sleep with her. Even the second child that she lost last year was also her cousin's child."

"Mother, Father, all these years, the Yang family and that bastard harmed me and our family. They ruined my marriage and almost used me as a scapegoat for their corruption case."

When they heard this, both his parents were shocked. Corruption crime was punishable by hanging or being shot to death. If this crime were pinned on their son's head, then he would lose his life.

How cruel the Yang family was for them to do that to her son?! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

It took a while for Grandma Feng to recover from her shock and ask, "Ah Chen, are you alright? Did they harm you?"

Shaking his head, Feng Chen said, "Mother, Father, please rest assured. Before they could pin the crime on me, the capital sent people to arrest them."

"The Yang family's adopted son was a spy from a foreign country. Due to their involvement with him, they were charged with an espionage crime."

"On top of that, they were also involved in private transactions since they owned businesses in the black market. With the addition of corruption cases up to almost 250,000 yuan, the entire Yang family and their relatives were sentenced to either lifetime imprisonment or a death sentence."

Grandpa Feng went silent for a moment before he asked, "What happened to Feng Heng?"

"Father, since he was still young, he was spared from a death sentence or lifetime imprisonment. But he was sent to the labor camp."

"Before I left, I had removed my name from the Yang family's household registration, and that child would no longer use our family's surname as he would follow his mother's surname," Feng Chen replied.

When they heard this, Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng let out a long sigh but said nothing. Although the child was innocent, his family's crimes were too heavy.

The government already showed him mercy for not taking his life. And it was impossible to ask Feng Chen to take care of the child due to what his parents did.
