Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005: Li Chenmo’s Annoyance
Looking over the items, Lu Jueyu noticed the wines, dried fruits, and nuts seemed familiar and asked, “Why do these look familiar?”

Leaning closer to his wife, Li Chenmo said in a low voice, “I heard my brother was going to buy these from Houzi before we departed, so I suggested he buy them from our store in the capital instead. This saves us the hassle of shipping it over.”

Lu Jueyu raised an eyebrow and whispered back, “Husband, why not give them to your second brother? We are family, it’s not right to charge him.”

“Why not? If he wants to marry a wife, he has to pay. Besides, it’s not like he can’t afford it,” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

Thinking about how much money Li Lingyun earned each day, Lu Jueyu stopped worrying about the matter and asked, “What about the eight betrothal wedding baskets? Has your brother prepared them?”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “My second brother said that he has already prepared everything.”

With nothing left to be concerned about, Lu Jueyu nodded and returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

It wasn’t until the sun rose in the eastern horizon that Li Lingyun returned from outside. Following him were several people carrying large bamboo baskets. They greeted Li Chenmo and Dong Li as they arrived, exchanged a few words, and then departed.

“Second Brother, are they your friends?” Li Chenmo asked.

“Mm-hmm, they live in the capital now and will help us transport everything tomorrow,” Li Lingyun replied with a nod.

Hearing this, Li Chenmo nodded in understanding. He knew his second brother’s background was far more mysterious and extensive than his own. Having once been involved with the underground gangs, his second brother had many deep connections.

Since they had an empty room, they moved the items there, not daring to leave them in the yard for fear they would be ruined by a sudden summer rain.

When they finished moving everything, Lu Jueyu had also finished cooking. Coming out of the kitchen, she called, “Husband, can you help me carry the food to the living room?”

Hearing his wife’s request, Li Chenmo walked to the kitchen while saying, “Okay, I’m coming.”

Seeing his third brother was so loving with his wife, Li Lingyun looked at them with envy.

Dong Li noticed his second uncle’s envious gaze and consoled him, “Second Uncle, in just a few days, you will be able to marry my Second Aunt and be like my parents.”

Li Lingyun raised an eyebrow when he heard this and asked, “Xiao Li, why do you know so much about these matters between men and women?”

Thinking about his parents constantly displaying affection at home, Dong Li replied helplessly, “Second Uncle, do you really think it’s possible not to know about this after living with my parents? With them behaving like this every day, it’s hard not to understand.”

Li Lingyun’s eyes lit up when he heard his nephew’s words and asked curiously, “Tell your Second Uncle, did you see your parents doing something… inappropriate?”

Knowing that he shouldn’t share his parents’ private moments, Dong Li just looked at his uncle and said, “Second Uncle, I need to go help my parents.”

Looking at his nephew’s back, Li Lingyun clicked his tongue and said, “My third brother must have done something inappropriate in broad daylight and was caught by his son.”

Dong Li quickly went to the kitchen to help bring out the dishes, then went to call his grandpa.

Due to his age and heart issues, Father Li wasn’t as strong as before. After a long journey, he was feeling tired for a long time. Since they would visit the Pan family tomorrow, Li Chenmo had asked him to rest since they arrived yesterday.

When Father Li arrived in the living room with Dong Li, the dishes were already served. Taking a seat, he said, “Third Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, “Father, this is my duty, and I’m happy to do it.”

When she finished her words, she scooped a bowl of vegetable porridge for him and said, “Father, you should eat more to regain your energy.”

Accepting the bowl, Father Li nodded and said with a smile, “Mhmm.”

Then, Lu Jueyu scooped another bowl for her husband, and said, “Husband, have some porridge.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Wife, you eat too.”

Seeing this, Li Lingyun glanced at Dong Li and saw how calm he was.

‘This boy was indeed trained by my third brother. He didn’t even flinch when he saw his parents acting so chummy like this,’ he thought inwardly.

After breakfast, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to boil water for her husband and son. Since they had no plans for the day, they decided to explore the capital.

After bathing and changing clothes, the sun was high in the sky. Lu Jueyu took out straw hats from her space before she left her room. When she came out of the room, she handed one to Father Li, who accepted it due to the strong sun.

Since the department store was far from their rented house, they took a bus to the city center. After walking for ten minutes, they reached the bus stop.

Noticing his wife sweating, Li Chenmo handed her a handkerchief and said, “Wife, use this to wipe your sweat.”

“Thank you, Husband,” Lu Jueyu accepted it and smiled.

Seeing she had missed a few spots, he reached out to wipe the sweat but stopped when he noticed unfriendly glances from the people around them.

Although he was feeling annoyed, Li Chenmo kept his distance from his wife while thinking that life in the village was better compared to the capital.

The villagers were used to his affection for his wife and didn’t even bother to report them, unlike these city dwellers who acted as if they were above everyone else.

Seeing his father’s annoyance, Dong Li took a step further away.
