Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024: Grateful
Feeling satisfied with her choice, Wang Muxiao believed she had made the best decision by marrying Lu Cheng.

Li Chenze, unaware of her thoughts, was puzzled when he saw her first look at him with admiration, then disapproval, and finally satisfaction. Glancing at her belly, he thought her strange behavior might be due to pregnancy and put this matter behind his mind.

After Zhang Ermu drove the bullock cart into the front yard, Chen Anwen wiped her hands on her apron and greeted them with a smile, “Good morning, brothers-in-law.”

Li Chenze and Zhang Ermu nodded at her and said, “Good morning, sister-in-law.”

“Have you both eaten?” Chen Anwen asked.

“Sister-in-law, we ate before we came here,” Li Chenze replied.

Since she didn’t know why they came with so many things, Chen Anwen didn’t ask further and said, “Please come inside and have some tea to warm yourselves.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Both Li Chenze and Zhang Ermu went to the living room to wait for Lu Han. After Chen Anwen poured warm tea for them, she went back outside to continue washing clothes.

Not long after, Lu Han and Lu Cheng entered the living room.

“Brother Chenze, Brother Ermu, what brings both of you here today?” Lu Han asked as he looked at them with surprise.

Seeing them arrive, Li Chenze and Zhang Ermu stood up and greeted the brothers before sitting down again.

Taking out the telegram sent by Li Chenmo from his pocket, Li Chenze handed it to Lu Han and explained, “Brother Lu Han, this is a telegram sent by my third brother yesterday. We came to deliver the ingredients and will trouble you to help us send them to the capital.”

“As for the fee, just let me know and I will reimburse you,” he added with a smile.

Lu Han read the telegram briefly and said, “Brother Chenze, since it’s our brother-in-law’s request, we will make sure to send the ingredients today. Don’t worry about the fee. My sister often helps us by sending food to our family, so this is just something we should do.”

“My brother is right. After all, we are in-laws, so there is no need to be formal. We have a friend at the train station who can help us send the items over. We just need to give him some vegetables as thanks,” Lu Cheng added.

Hearing this, Li Chenze smiled and said, “Then we will bother you with this matter. Thank you.”

“It’s just a small matter,” Lu Han said with a smile.

After a brief conversation, they moved the ingredients to the backyard. Twenty minutes later, Li Chenze and Zhang Ermu left the Lu family’s house and headed to Li Lingyun and Li Chenmo’s house.

They needed to take care of the vegetable gardens. As previously agreed, half of the harvested vegetables would go to Zhang Ermu.

Meanwhile, after washing up, Lu Han prepared to go to town. Before leaving, he found his wife in the house.

Seeing his wife was mending the old clothes, he walked over and said on the edge of Kang bed as he asked, “Wife, I’m heading to town. Do you need anything?”

Hearing his father’s words, Lu Wenmu reached out and said, “Father, Mumu wants to go to town.”

Chen Anwen, knowing her husband had business to attend to in town, hugged her son and coaxed, “Xiao Mu, your father has an important matter in town. We will go another day, okay?”

Lu Wenmu pouted but remained quiet.

“How about we make jujube cake later? Didn’t Xiao Mu say that Xiao Feng wanted some yesterday?” Chen Anwen suggested.

Thinking of his younger sister, Lu Wenmu nodded and asked, “Mother, can we make more jujube cake? My friends and cousins will come to play, and I want to share the cake with them.”

Chen Anwen kissed her son’s forehead and said, “Of course. We will make plenty and share some with your grandparents, uncle, and aunt too.”

Hearing his mother’s words, Lu Wenmu was excited and replied with a smile, “Okay!”

Seeing how easily his wife coaxed their son, Lu Han smiled and said, “Wife, it’s great to have you. You teach them so well.”

“Our boys are smart and well-behaved. They just need explanations to understand things,” Chen Anwen said with a smile.

After a moment, she added, “Husband, remember to take money and coupons with you. If you can’t come back for lunch, buy some food there. We have enough money, so don’t go hungry.”

Lu Han smiled when he heard his wife’s words. Since his wife had started working with Pan Meijia and Wang Muxiao to make snacks and sell them in the town, they had a steady income.

Instead of selling their snacks to the black market, they sold through trusted factory workers and government housing residents. This reduced risks, even if it didn’t bring as much money as they got before.

Each day’s orders were prearranged, so there were no leftovers, and each of the women could earn up to 500 yuan monthly which is equivalent to two years’ wages for a factory worker.

When Lu Han learned about his wife’s income, he was surprised and thought that his wife could live a good life even without him. In order not to lose his wife’s admiration, he works harder and makes more money.

Seeing her husband staring at her in a daze, Chen Anwen nudged him, and asked, “Husband, what’s on your mind?”

Lu Han leaned forward and kissed her nose before saying, “I’m just grateful to have you as my wife.”

Blushing at the sudden kiss, Chen Anwen glared at her husband and said, “Xiao Mu is watching.”

Amused by her reaction, Lu Han felt warmth spread through his chest. Marrying her was the best decision he had ever made.

He kissed her again and said, “I will be back once I’m done.”

“Take care, and don’t forget to bring water,” she reminded him.

Lu Han, enjoying her care, nodded obediently, “Okay.”
