Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122: Pros And Cons
Noticing how messy their bed and clothes were, Li Lingyun retrieved a set of freshly washed underwear and clothes from the cabinet and carefully dressed his wife. Once she was dressed, he carried her with one arm and removed the waterproof blanket.

Satisfied that the bed was clean and dry, he smiled and murmured, “This blanket is really good. I should ask for more from my third brother.”

He gently laid his wife back on the bed and carried the soiled clothes and blanket to the backyard. Before returning to the bedroom, he soaked them in a basin of soapy water, planning to wash them in the morning.

When he returned to the bedroom, he climbed into bed, pulled his wife into his embrace, and covered them both with a thin blanket before drifting off to sleep with a satisfied smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu woke up feeling refreshed. It was truly wonderful to have a space that gave her more time compared to others. This way, she could have enough rest despite a busy schedule and limited free time.

After lying in a daze for a while, she gently moved her husband’s arm from her waist, tidied herself up, and headed to the backyard.

When she arrived, she saw Mother Pan already awake and doing some light exercises. Raising her head, she noticed the sky painted with reddish and orange hues by the morning sunlight as it was still dawn.

She walked over and greeted her, “Good morning, Aunt Pan.”

Hearing her voice, Mother Pan turned around with a smile and replied, “Good morning, Jueyu.”

“Aunt Pan, it’s only 4 o’clock in the morning. Why are you up so early?” Lu Jueyu asked as she scooped a bucket of water to wash up.

The weather had grown hotter, so she no longer needed hot water for washing. As she washed her face and brushed her teeth, she noticed Mother Pan observing her closely.

“I feel refreshed even after just a few hours of sleep. Since I couldn’t sleep any longer, I thought it would be better to come out and enjoy the mountain air,” Mother Pan said while taking a deep breath.

After drying her face with a towel, she smiled and asked, “Aunt Pan, what would you like for breakfast today?”

Mother Pan, distracted by Lu Jueyu’s radiant skin, didn’t immediately respond. Walking closer, she examined her face and asked, “Jueyu, are you using the soap you made yourself?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Yes, it’s the same product I showed Sister-in-law Bai.”

Noticing Mother Pan’s interest, she offered, “Would you like to try it, Aunt Pan?”

Mother Pan nodded eagerly and said, “I would love to.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and guided her on how to wash and massage her face. Five minutes later, Mother Pan wiped her face dry and noticed an improvement in her skin’s elasticity.

She looked at Lu Jueyu in amazement and asked, “Jueyu, why does your soap seem more effective than the batch you share in the capital?”

“Oh, that’s probably because of the water. In the capital, the water comes from the river and is artificially filtered. Here, we use mountain spring water, which has richer mineral content,” Lu Jueyu explained calmly.

Hearing this, Mother Pan’s doubts dissipated, and she remarked enviously, “Living in the countryside truly has its perks. Not only do you have a bigger house and space for planting vegetables, but even the water and air are much fresher than in the city.”

She added jokingly, “At this rate, I might want to move to the countryside.”

Lu Jueyu chuckled when she heard her words and replied, “Aunt Pan, while the environment here is wonderful, we have to work in the field from dawn until late at night to make ends meet. Plus, it’s far from town, making it difficult for villagers to buy necessities.”

Mother Pan sighed and nodded in agreement, “Indeed, every place has its pros and cons. For older people like me, living in the city is still more convenient.”

Lu Jueyu didn’t comment on her words and said with a smile, “Aunt Pan, I will go prepare breakfast now. You can take a walk around the house. There are wild berry bushes near the river, and you can pick the ripe ones.”

Mother Pan’s eyes lit up when she heard this and she replied, “Oh, that sounds delightful! I have never picked wild berries before.”

Lu Jueyu handed her a bamboo basket and showed her the way before heading back to the house. While boiling a pot of water, she collected chicken eggs and refilled the feed and water trays. She also checked the water vats, refilling the empty ones.

When she returned to the kitchen, the water had already boiled. She transferred it to the drinking water vat and boiled another pot of water.

At the same time, she steamed some buns and prepared vegetable porridge. Since she was alone, she also took out a jar of freshly made soy milk, a jar of meat sauce, and a basket of scallion pancakes from her space.

Not long after, Li Chenmo and the children began waking up one after another. Since the children had school, Lu Jueyu prepared their lunch boxes in addition to breakfast.

Today, she prepared Dong Li’s favorite Roujiamo and Dong Huang’s favorite salty bamboo tube rice. She also added wild berries, cookies, and milk pudding. For water, she filled a bamboo bottle with water infused with orange slices.

After she finished packing up the lunch boxes, she went to water the vegetable gardens.

While the family bustled with their morning routine, Mother Pan was by the river, picking wild berries while humming a tune. Following the riverbank, she nearly filled her basket when she spotted her son-in-law.

Looking around, she realized the road near the river was a shortcut path between Li Chenmo’s and Li Lingyun’s homes. As she approached, she saw him washing clothes, blankets, and bedsheets.

Standing outside the fence, she asked, “Ah Yun, are you up so early to wash clothes?”
