Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009: A Jealous Man
Looking at the dark sky, Jueyu asked, “Husband, should we prepare more breakfast for your second brother’s friend as well?”

“Since we are leaving at eight o’clock, they will probably arrive without having their breakfast. Let’s prepare extra for them,” Li Chenmo replied.

After they made the decision, they quickly made porridge with century eggs and scallion pancakes. Since the menu was simple, they finished cooking in less than an hour.

As dawn broke, Father Li, Dong Li, and Li Lingyun woke up one by one. Knowing that city dwellers would look down on the villagers, the family agreed to wear their new clothes and shoes.

Although the men didn’t think much about it, Jueyu knew that dressing well would make a good impression not only on the neighbors but also on the Pan family. As in-laws, if they are too shabby, the neighbors will look down on the Li family and gossip about Pan Meijia’s family.

This is why she insisted on buying a watch for her father-in-law. If the neighbors saw that their family was living so well, they would no longer have anything to gossip about Pan Meijia marrying Li Lingyun.

Not long after they finished their breakfast, they heard a knock at the gate.

“Father, I will get the door. That should be my friend,” said Li Lingyun.

Father Li nodded and said, “Invite them in for breakfast. We have plenty of time, there is no need to rush.”

Lingyun nodded and went to open the door. When he saw that it was his men, he held the door wider, and said, “Come in and have breakfast first.”

Hearing this, one of them smiled and asked in a low voice, “Boss, is this breakfast made by your sister-in-law?”

Lingyun glanced at him, and reminded him, “Call me brother.”

The young man nodded and said, “Sorry, Brother, I forgot.”

After they entered the house, Li Lingyun closed the door and led them to the living room. The moment they entered the living room, they saw an older man and a young man resembling their boss.

“Father, Third Brother, these are my friends. Everyone, this is my father, my third brother, and my nephew,” Li Lingyun introduced them.

Father Li smiled at them and invited them to sit, “Please, have a seat.”

Since he had finished his breakfast, Dong Li gave up his seat to the guests and went to the kitchen to bring more food for them while Li Chenmo stayed to keep them company.

While Father Li was grateful for his son’s friends coming to help, Li Chenmo noticed something between his second brother and these people.

These so-called friends treated his second brother with the respect of subordinates to a leader. It became clear they weren’t mere friends but members of his second brother’s network. However, knowing that his second brother had his own matters to manage, Li Chenmo chose not to pry.

Not long after, Dong Li returned with a huge pot of porridge while Lu Jueyu held a basket of scallion pancakes and another of utensils.

Seeing this, Li Chenmo walked over, took the basket from his wife, and said, “Wife, let me do it.”

Lu Jueyu didn’t refuse and handed the baskets to her husband while saying, “Husband, I will go prepare the items. You can talk with the guests.”

“Okay.”

After she left, Li Chenmo turned around and noticed the young men were looking at his wife. His eyes darkened as he said, “That’s my wife.”

‘Stop looking or I will beat you up,’ he added in his heart.

As soon as they heard his words, they quickly averted their gazes, not daring to look at him. This made the atmosphere awkward, and no one dared to move their chopsticks.

Seeing this, Li Lingyun glanced at his third brother and said, “Third Brother, you don’t have to stay here if you are busy.”

As soon as he finished his words, he saw his third brother’s eyes lit up as he nodded.

Li Chenmo set the baskets on the table and said, “I will go check on my wife.”

After he left the living room, Li Lingyun looked at his men and said, “All of you should keep your eyes down when you meet my third sister-in-law. My third brother is a very jealous man.”

When Father Li heard this, he chuckled but said nothing. Dong Li felt embarrassed when he heard this. He didn’t stay long, as he needed to help his parents. So, he left after placing the porridge on the table.

Seeing that no one was eating, Father Li reminded them with a smile, “Everyone, please help yourselves. These century egg porridge were made by my third daughter-in-law, and they are delicious.”

Hearing this, they quickly said, “Uncle Li, there is no need to be so polite. Just treat us like your nephews.”

“Alright, then go ahead and eat before the food gets cold,” Father Li readily agreed.

Although they still felt a bit awkward due to the previous matter, the delicious scallion pancakes and century eggs quickly captured their attention, and they focused on eating.

Watching them eat as if they hadn’t eaten in days, Li Lingyun was speechless.

He was certain that each of these people received plenty of food, money, and coupons from him every month. They shouldn’t be lacking food or money. So why were they eating like this?

While he mentally complained about his men, Father Li, feeling concerned, said, “Eat slowly, there is plenty.”

The youngest among them nodded and said, “Uncle, these are the best scallion pancakes I have ever had.”

“If you like them, have some more,” Father Li said with a smile. There was a hint of pride in his voice when he said those words.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Lu Jueyu looked at her husband and said, “Husband, I think if we take out the gift boxes, Father and your second brother might get suspicious. After all, we didn’t bring much with us.”
