Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1046

Chapter 1046: Thoughtful
Li Chenmo looked at Wang Jie and said with a smile, “My wife prepared some breakfast. Eat something before you go.”

At first, Wang Jie wanted to refuse, but the aroma of fragrant egg porridge from the kitchen was too tempting. Feeling the hunger on his stomach worsened, he nodded and said, “Thank you, Third Brother.”

“You came so early to help us. It’s the least we can do,” Li Chenmo said casually.

After Wang Jie sat in the living room, Li Chenmo went to the kitchen to fetch breakfast. At the same time, Li Lingyun emerged from his room.

Noticing the bicycles in the yard, he walked over to the living room while yawning. “Xiao Wang, haven’t you eaten?”

Wang Jie quickly stood the moment he heard his voice and replied, “Boss, I have eaten, but—”

“If you are hungry, just say so,” interrupted Li Lingyun.

“No need to be polite. My third sister-in-law’s cooking is excellent. Consider yourself lucky to try it, so eat more,” he added.

Though it sounded like bragging, Wang Jie knew his boss was trying to put him at ease and encourage him to eat more. He felt grateful due to his boss’s consideration.

Soon after, Dong Li entered the living room while carrying a tray of food. As he set it on the table, he looked at his uncle and said, “Second Uncle, I want to go with my parents to help. Can you talk to my father so he will let me go?”

Raising an eyebrow at his words, Li Lingyun asked, “What did your father say?”

“My Father told me to stay home and go with Grandpa later, but I really want to help,” Dong Li admitted helplessly.

After a moment of thought, Li Lingyun said, “You had better listen to your father. Having you at home will put us at ease. Besides, your grandpa can’t read, so he won’t be able to take the bus alone.”

Dong Li hadn’t considered this before and now realized he could contribute more by staying with his grandfather. He should think more about the reasons behind his father’s words. It seems that his comprehensive skills are still lacking.

“I understand, Second Uncle,” he said with a nod.

Patting his nephew’s shoulder, Li Lingyun said, “Later, when we leave, make sure to remind your grandpa to take his medicine and avoid strenuous activities.”

“Okay,” Dong Li nodded before he left the room.

As Li Lingyun walked off to wash up, he glanced at Wang Jie and said, “Eat before the food gets cold.”

With everyone busying themselves, Wang Jie was left alone in the living room. Although it was rude to leave a guest alone, he thought it was a good thing that no one was waiting for him while he was eating. He could now eat to his heart’s content without feeling self-conscious.

Looking at the large bowl of egg porridge, two tea eggs, a cup of soymilk, and a basket of scallion pancakes, he swallowed hard and eagerly began his meal.

At the same time, Dong Li went to find his father and said, “Father, Mother, I will stay with Grandpa.”

Li Chenmo nodded and replied, “Mhmm, ask your mother for some money.”

When Lu Jueyu came out of the kitchen and overheard their conversation, she walked over, took a small pouch from her pocket, and handed it to her son while saying, “There is some money and a few coupons inside. Take it with you. If it’s not enough, let Mother know.”

Holding the pouch, Dong Li nodded and said, “Thank you, Mother.”

Looking at the sky, Lu Jueyu turned to her husband and said, “Husband, we should leave now, or we will be late.”

“Alright.”

Before leaving, she went to their room to grab her bag and a small basket. She filled the basket with various seasonings and sauces from her space, closed the lid, and joined her husband outside, where he was already waiting.

As they left the house, Li Lingyun was still having breakfast. Since there were two bicycles, he planned to go with Wang Jie later so Wang Jie could return the bicycles to their owner.

The roads were empty because it was still early, and public transportation hadn’t started operating yet. After about forty minutes, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu finally arrived at the compound.

When the guards saw them, one of them stepped out of the guard post to open the gate, and said, “Comrades, you are here so early.”

Dismounting her bicycle, Lu Jueyu smiled at the guard. She took out a handful of candies from her bag, and handed them to the guard as she said, “Uncle, we are sorry to disturb your rest. Thank you for helping us open the gate so early.”

The guard accepted the candies with a wide smile and said, “It’s no trouble at all. This is my job.”

After they passed through, the guard looked at the candies in delight. He noticed that the candies weren’t just maltose but also milk and fruit candies. This handful of candies cost a lot of money ah!

Meanwhile, the couple found the location and parked their bicycles near the warehouse.

Back in the village, Pan Meijia had described her house and the compound to them while preparing snacks for sale. Because of this, Li Chenmo had a rough idea of the layout and didn’t need directions.

Instead of checking the warehouse, they headed to the public kitchen to check the situation. The public kitchen has no door and it was empty except for a stove and some firewood.

Looking at the dust inside the kitchen, Lu Jueyu turned to her husband and said, “Husband, it’s a good thing we came early. It would have been troublesome to set everything up later with people around.”

Li Chenmo gently pinched her cheek and teased her with a smile, “My wife is so great, she is always so thoughtful.”

Raising her chin proudly, Lu Jueyu replied, “Of course!”
