Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1087

Chapter 1089: Sweet Talker
At this moment, the three of them were already very familiar with each other. Therefore, neither Zhang Ermu nor Han Yuheng refused his offer.

While eating, Han Yuheng asked, “Brother Chenze, does your family need to borrow the village hall for the wedding banquet?”

After a moment of thought, Li Chenze nodded and said, “We may also need to borrow the tables and chairs next to the village hall. In addition to the villagers, my brother also wants to invite his friends.

Recalling the help the Li family had given him, Han Yuheng said, “Brother Chenze, since your family needs to prepare so many things, how about I help you with the wedding hall arrangements?”

“It shouldn’t be a problem for me to borrow tables and chairs from the villagers. As for the village hall, I can ask the elders to sign the required documents. At most, your family might need to provide some soup or steamed buns for the uninvited villagers during the wedding banquet.”

Sharing soup and steamed buns with uninvited guests was a common practice in the village. With the team leader’s help managing the wedding hall, it would save the family a lot of time and effort.

With this conclusion, Li Chenze readily agreed, “Then I will trouble Brother Yuheng with this matter.”

Pleased that his offer was accepted, Han Yuheng smiled and said, “Brother Chenze, your family has helped me a lot over the years. I’m only returning the favor with this small matter.”

Zhang Ermu, wanting to contribute as well, asked, “Brother Chenze, what can I help you with?”

Li Chenze considered their stock of grains and meat at home before replying, “Well, if it’s okay with you, I need help gathering more food from the mountain.”

“My brothers have planted plenty of vegetables, but we are short on meat and grains. Before winter, my brothers and I will need to go to the mountain to gather more supplies.”

Hearing this, both Han Yuheng and Zhang Ermu quickly volunteered to help.

“Brother Chenze, I can go with you too. Last time, you mentioned finding a wild pheasant’s nest and a mountain lake. We can get some meat and fish as well. With more people, we can carry back more supplies,” Han Yuheng said.

“I will park my cart at the mountain’s foothills to make transporting the grains and meat easier,” Zhang Ermu added.

Nodding at their enthusiasm, Li Chenze said, “Then we will head to the mountain tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

While the three of them were planning their trip to the mountain tomorrow, the train from the capital arrived at the station.

As the morning sunlight illuminated the platform, passengers disembarked one after another. Since this was the train’s final stop before returning to the capital, there weren’t as many passengers as earlier.

Holding their bags, the Li family and the Pan family walked toward the counter to complete the exit procedures. Half an hour later, they finally stepped out of the train station.

As soon as they emerged, Li Chenze spotted them and approached, followed by Han Yuheng and Zhang Ermu.

Looking at his father’s tired face, he called, “Father.”

Hearing his voice, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Eldest brother, you are here.”

Noticing that Han Yuheng and Zhang Ermu had come as well, Father Li said, “Team leader, Ermu, thank you both for coming. Sorry for the trouble.”

“Uncle, it’s no trouble at all,” Han Yuheng replied with a smile.

“Team leader, these are my parents and second aunt. They will be staying in the village for a few days,” Pan Meijia introduced her family.

After a brief moment of observation, Han Yuheng said, “Welcome, Comrades. Brother Lingyun informed me about your visit. You are welcome to stay as long as you want. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”

Father Pan nodded appreciatively at his warm welcome and said, “Thank you, team leader.”

Noticing their travel-worn expressions, Zhang Ermu suggested, “Uncle Li, it’s getting late, let’s head back first.”

Everyone agreed and followed them to the roadside. Since they hadn’t brought much luggage this time, the bags were loaded onto the bicycle cart and tractor. The bullock cart was reserved for carrying people.

On the way back, Lu Jueyu, who was exhausted from the journey, fell asleep while leaning on her husband’s shoulder. Seeing this, everyone tactfully pretended not to notice and continued chatting in low voices.

Glancing at the sun, Li Chenmo took a straw hat from his wife’s bag and gently placed it over her head, shielding her from the sunlight. Then, using his own hat, he fanned her to make her more comfortable.

As he focused on his wife, Pan Meijia kept glancing in their direction. Noticing her gaze, Li Lingyun leaned closer and asked, “Jiajia, do you think my third brother is more handsome than me?”

Startled by his question, Pan Meijia turned to him and asked with confusion, “Brother Yun, what are you talking about?”

Li Lingyun playfully pinched her cheek and said, “You keep looking at him and ignoring me.”

Hearing the resentment in his tone, Pan Meijia chuckled and said, “Brother Yun, you are overthinking. I’m just happy to see my friend has such a good husband.”

Raising an eyebrow, Li Lingyun said, “So, I’m not handsome enough?”

“You and the third brother-in-law are different. How can you compare yourselves like that?” Pan Meijia replied with a laugh.

“What’s the difference?” Li Lingyun leaned closer and asked curiously.

Glancing around and noticing everyone was napping, Pan Meijia kissed his lips lightly and whispered, “No matter how good other men are, you are the best for me. I just like you the way you are.”

Finally hearing what he wanted, Li Lingyun smiled and whispered back, “Sweet talker.”

“Aren’t I learning from you?” Pan Meijia said teasingly.

By the time they arrived in Xie Village, the sun had already slanted toward the west. Before heading to Li Lingyun and Li Chenmo’s house, they dropped Father Li off at his own home.
