Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029: Five Children Task
After a moment, Father Li said, “Second son, if you need more money, I have some savings you can use.”

Both Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun smiled when they heard this. Both of them know their father was a generous and principled man. So, it’s normal for him to say this.

“Father, I will let you know if I don’t have enough money,” Li Lingyun responded.

“Good.”

As they chatted, Dong Li and Lu Jueyu quietly listened while eating. Lu Jueyu made a mental note to add more grains and flour to the mountain warehouse, while Dong Li took their words to heart. He realized he still had a lot to learn.

In the past, he had lived with a more self-centered perspective, concerned only with his family’s well-being. But living with the Li family for three months and meeting so many new friends had shown him the importance of community.

Noticing her son’s thoughts drifting, Lu Jueyu placed a piece of meat in his bowl and said, “Xiao Li, what are you thinking about? You should eat more so you can grow taller.”

Dong Li looked at the meat in his bowl and nodded, “Thank you, Mother.”

After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. As soon as Lu Jueyu and her husband locked their door, she brought him into her space. Inside the space, they took a shower and napped.

Three hours later, they woke up feeling refreshed. Since she hadn’t used the snacks she had prepared for the Pan family’s neighbors, she decided to store them in the warehouse to use as thank-you gifts for the villagers later.

While in the warehouse, she checked the supplies and realized they had enough grains to feed the whole country for decades.

After some thought, she adjusted the farmland settings, reducing the rice plantation area from 10% to 5% and increasing the area for corn, sorghum, barley, wheat, oats, rye, and millet from 10% to 15%.

When she finished, she checked her inventory and was stunned to see over 100 million gold coins, a result of her completed main task. As she read her next main task, she was stunned.

Her current main task was to bear her husband’s children. After she read the requirements, she realized that this task could be repeated up to five times.

“Does this mean I can have up to five children?” she muttered.

As soon as she finished her words, a transparent screen appeared in front of her with the word “No.”

“So, I can have more than five children but only get rewards for the first five?” she asked.

The screen changed to “Yes” after she finished talking.

Feeling annoyed, she thought, ‘Does the creator of this space think I’m a machine? Bearing children was no small feat, especially since motherhood meant continuous responsibility. I still need to care for and teach my children after they are born.’

While she was still grumbling, her husband approached and overheard her talking about children.

In their previous life, she had told him she only wanted two children at most, fearing they wouldn’t have enough time to provide the attention their children would need.

Hearing her talk about five children now surprised him, but he was delighted. He loved the idea of a big family, thinking it would give their children support for life.

Not noticing her husband behind her, she muttered, “Five children is impossible.”

Li Chenmo smiled at his wife’s words and he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

Lu Jueyu was startled by the hug, turned, and asked, “Husband, when did you come?”

“Just now,” he replied, resting his head on her shoulder.

Giggling from the tickling sensation of her husband’s growing beard, she said, “That tickles!”

“Wife, let’s have a child,” Li Chenmo suddenly said.

Lu Jueyu was stunned by her husband’s words and asked, “Husband, do you mean it?”

Li Chenmo raised his head and nodded, “Mhmm, but if you are not ready, we can wait. After all, your body is only 17 years old. It’s still young. Maybe we should wait until you are at least 20 years old.”

Lu Jueyu thought for a moment and said, “After consuming all the food and spiritual herbs from space for half a year, my body is healthier than others. It should be fine for me to bear a child now.”

“Are you sure?” he asked.

Lu Jueyu nodded and said firmly, “I’m sure. My body was born with a heart problem and weak constitution, but after consuming the foods and drinks from this space, I’m healed.”

“Then, do you want to have a child?” Li Chenmo asked again.

Lu Jueyu was blushing when she heard her husband’s question but she considered it.

Presently, it’s 1974, and they still have five years before universities reopen. If they had a child now, their child would be around two or three when they took their entrance exams. If they want to bring their family to the capital with them, their child shouldn’t be too young to travel.

After weighing the pros and cons, she nodded and said firmly, “Husband, let’s have a child.”

At her words, Li Chenmo’s eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. He scooped her up and carried her back to the house. Thanks to her decision, they spent five days in space indulging in the pleasure.

Although it was five days in space, it was only two hours outside. When they reappeared in their room, Lu Jueyu continued to sleep while Li Chenmo went out to exercise in a good mood.

In the yard, Li Lingyun was teaching Dong Li close combat when he noticed his third brother walking out with a smile on his face. The moment he saw his smile, he knew what his third brother had just been up to.

Noticing Li Chenmo’s smug expression, he asked, “Third brother, want to spar with me?”

Li Chenmo nodded and agreed readily, “Okay.”

Dong Li, who was watching from the sidelines, was thrilled.
