Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Aunt Li’s Visit ( 1)
“Thank you, team leader. This is what my family and I should do,” Father Lu said with a smile.

When Father Lu, Lu Han, and Lu Cheng returned to Lu’s house, Mother Lu said, “Send some meat to Jueyu. Although it’s not much, she earned part of the work points.”

“Yes, mother.” Lu Han nodded.

Mother Lu cut a catty of fat meat, a catty of pork belly, and two big bones for Lu Jueyu. Chen Anwen saw this and said nothing. Compared with the meat given by Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo, this meat is nothing at all.

Chen Anwen wrapped the meat in oil paper, put it into a bamboo basket along with some roasted nuts and melon seeds she made, and handed it to her husband.

Seeing this, Mother Lu smiled and said, “Let’s make braised pork for dinner. The children rarely have meat, so don’t be stingy and cook more. ”

“Alright.” Chen Anwen was happy as her mother-in-law cares about her sons.

Among the entire brigade, Mother Lu is known as the best mother-in-law. Compared with other mothers-in-law, she is reasonable and impartial. Mother Lu may be a little partial to Lu Jueyu, but her love for her grandchildren comforts Chen Anwen’s heart.

The Lu family gets along very well, but the Li family was different. At this time, Father Li and Li Chenze had just returned from getting their share of meat. Because he was alone, Father Li only received one and a half kilograms of meat. Li Chenze’s family received three kilograms of meat. He gave Father Li another kilo of meat as his filial piety.

When Father Li returned home, he saw Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu drinking tea and eating snacks given by Lu Jueyu in the living room. Seeing that they almost finished all the cookies, Father Li said nothing and walked to the kitchen. He thought they would leave when they were full. Unexpectedly, when they saw Father Li coming back with a basket full of meat, their eyes lit up and they hurried over.

“Father, you are back. Let me help you handle the meat.” Jiao Siyu said while reaching out to take the basket.

Father Li took his hand away and said, “There is no need to bother you.”

After saying this, Father Li went to the backyard to clean up the meat. He plans to smoke the meat so he can eat it slowly. He has prepared the salt for curing the meat. So, he really doesn’t need any help. When the meat is ready, he can cut some and give it to his second son.

While Father Li didn’t have any meaning with his words, Jiao Siyu and Li Chenxuan assumed it otherwise. When Jiao Siyu heard Father Li’s words, her face darkened, and she muttered, “It’s just a piece of meat, is it necessary to say these things like a stranger?”

“Wife, don’t be angry. Although we can’t get some meat today, we will definitely be full tomorrow.” Li Chenxuan coaxed her.

Thinking of tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve dinner, both of them swallowed their saliva. Because of Li Chenxuan’s matter, all their money was spent, leaving only some money that Father Li had given them before. Let alone meat, there is no food at home. Fortunately, Li Chenxuan went to find Li Chenmo yesterday and brought back a lot of food. Otherwise, they will starve. After all, the factory only opened after the Lantern Festival.

“Since father doesn’t want us to help, let’s go back. It’s very cold today and my hands hurt.” Jiao Siyu said as she walked towards the door.

Li Chenxuan glanced at the backyard and shouted, “Father, we will take our leave first.”

Father Li shook his head upon hearing this. Not long after, an educated youth who lived with Father Li came to the backyard. Seeing Father Li cleaning the meat, he came over and asked, “Uncle Li, do you  need any help?”

Father Li looked at him and said, “It’s alright. You can go about your business.”

The educated youth looked at Father Li for a while and said, “If you need anything, just call me Uncle Li. Although I am not as good as others, I can learn.”

Father Li nodded to him, waved his hand, and motioned for him to leave.

At the same time, Li Chenmo was sitting on the door threshold weaving bamboo bowls and plates, while Lu Jueyu was peeling roasted chestnuts in the living room. When Lu Han walked into the front yard, he saw this scene.

Li Chenmo saw him coming, nodded to him, and said, “Brother, why are you here?”

“Mother asked me to bring this to you and Jueyu.” Lu Han said, holding up the bamboo basket in his hand.

Seeing the meat and bones inside, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Please thank Mother for me.”

“Brother, come in and have a cup of tea.” Lu Jueyu said after taking the basket.

“No need, I have something to do at home. I will come to see you another day. ”

“Brother, wait a moment.” Lu Jueyu said and walked to the kitchen.

After a while, she came back with a bamboo basket full of roasted chestnuts.

“Take this back. You and my second brother enjoyed eating it last time, so I made more this time.”

Lu Han took the basket and asked, “Did you go to the mountains again?”

“No. These nuts can only be harvested in the fall.”

When Lu Han heard her words, he nodded and said, “Don’t go into the mountains alone again. If you want to go, ask your husband to accompany you.”

“I know.” Lu Jueyu nodded.

“I’m going back.”

Li Chenmo sent Lu Han away and continued to weave bamboo bowls. Not long after, Aunt Li knocked on the door and said, “Jueyu ah, are you home?”

Hearing Aunt Li’s voice, Li Chenmo cleaned up the bamboo chips, took all the bamboo strips, and went to the backyard to continue working. After he went to the backyard, Lu Jueyu went to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Aunt Li holding a five-year-old boy in her arms, looking at her with a smile.
