Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103: The Wedding Day ( 3 )
After Lu Jueyu left, a group of villagers gathered around Aunt Chen, and one of them asked, “Sister Chen, are you really going to help the Li family?”

Aunt Chen looked at the middle-aged woman and replied, “As neighbors, shouldn’t we help each other? When your son got married, the Li family came to help you.”

“And don’t forget, when Li Chenmo got married, you made excuses and didn’t help. Now that they are holding a wedding for their second son, don’t you think it’s time to return the favor?”

The woman snorted and said, “When they came to help, I prepared meals for them. It wasn’t free labor.”

Hearing this, another villager chimed in, “Sister-in-law, it’s not about free labor. It’s about reciprocating kindness. Everyone knows how generous the Li family is. If we help, they will surely prepare a meal for us.”

The woman rolled her eyes and retorted, “They only let us eat in the kitchen while others eat in the hall. If you want to go, that is your business. My family is too busy to help.”

After leaving those words, she turned and left without looking back.

Watching her retreating figure, one villager muttered, “With that kind of attitude, no wonder she doesn’t get along with her daughter-in-law.”

Aunt Chen smiled and said, “Let her be. Whoever wants to help can come with me later. Even if we eat in the kitchen, we will still save a meal. Besides, I’m craving Jueyu’s cooking.”

Everyone chuckled at her comment and agreed to join her.

Beyond the delicious food, they knew the Li family would prepare more than enough food for everyone. Many also remembered the beautiful thank-you gifts Lu Jueyu had handed out at previous events.

The value of those gifts was no small matter, and having one to show off to relatives was motivation enough for many to volunteer.

Not knowing that everyone was aiming for her thank-you gifts, Lu Jueyu arrived at her parents’ house. While she was parking her bicycle, she could already hear laughter coming from inside.

She grabbed her makeup box and entered the house with a smile on her face. Seeing Mother Pan and the second aunt chatting with her sisters-in-law, Lu Jueyu greeted them, “Sister-in-law, Aunt Pan, Second Aunt, good morning.”

Seeing her, Wang Muxiao walked over, holding her waist and big belly. She said, “Jueyu, you are finally here! Jiajia has already finished taking a bath and is waiting for you.”

Hearing the intimate tone her second sister-in-law used when referring to Pan Meijia, Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows and wondered when their relationship had become so close.

Before she could say a word, she was led to Pan Meijia’s room. When she entered the bedroom, she saw her soon-to-be sister-in-law holding back tears while the matchmaker worked on her face.

Standing to the side, Lu Jueyu saw the redness and swelling on Pan Meijia’s face and sighed. Fortunately, she had arrived early. Otherwise, with the added skincare to reduce the swelling, they would have missed the auspicious time.

After the matchmaker finished threading Pan Meijia’s face, Mother Lu smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, you must be tired after being busy since morning. We have prepared breakfast and tea for you. Let’s rest for a bit.”

This matchmaker had been specially invited from the county town by Mother Lu. Not only had she enjoyed a blessed life with a husband, sons, and grandsons, she was also known as a talented woman in her youth.

With her combed Pan Meijia’s hair, they hoped that the bride’s life after marriage would be smooth and blessed with many children.

Despite her special status, the matchmaker was humble. She held Mother Lu and Mother Pan’s hands as they walked to the living room.

“Sister-in-law, you are too polite,” she said with a smile.

“Not at all. Sister-in-law, you came before dawn. It’s only right for us to prepare something for you,” Mother Lu replied.

After they left the room, Lu Jueyu closed the door and said, “Second sister-in-law, did you sleep well last night?”

Pan Meijia sighed and said, “I only had a few hours of sleep before my mother woke me up. I’m so sleepy.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu laughed and said, “You can take a nap while I put a mask on your face. Look at how red your face is.”

Pan Meijia hissed as she touched her face and complained, “I never expected threading my face to be this painful.”

Lu Jueyu opened her makeup box and took out the facial mask she had prepared and said, “Every bride needs to experience this. You are better off than others. I have heard some people even wet themselves from the pain.”

“Is it that bad?” Pan Meijia asked with surprise.

“Well, it’s just hearsay. I’m not sure,” Lu Jueyu replied with a chuckle.

Pan Meijia stared at her third sister-in-law and asked, “Jueyu, are you teasing me?”

Seeing her pout, Lu Jueyu laughed and replied, “Alright, I won’t tease you. You should wash your face first before I start. We don’t have much time, so we should hurry.”

Pan Meijia quickly washed her face without further comment. With experience in bridal makeup, it only took Lu Jueyu an hour and a half to finish her sister-in-law’s makeover.

When she was done, she packed up and said, “Second sister-in-law, you can change into your wedding dress now. I need to go help the second brother. See you later.”

Pan Meijia blushed and said, “Thank you, third sister-in-law.”

“You are welcome.”

After leaving the Lu family’s house, Lu Jueyu went to Li Lingyun’s house. When she arrived, she saw her husband busy carrying ingredients into Zhang Ermu’s bullock cart.

Seeing her approach, Li Chenmo walked over and asked, “Wife, are you done?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Mhmm, I came to help the second brother style his hair.”

“I will send the ingredients first. I have already sent the children home to take a bath. They will go to Father’s house after changing clothes,” Li Chenmo said.

“Good, I will wait for you then.”

“Okay.”
