Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Delicate and Sickly Wife ( 1 )
After paying the hospital bills, Han Yuheng and the villagers returned to the village with heavy hearts. Although it was not their family members who were lying on the hospital bed, they still couldn’t help worrying.

What if Huang Yuanfeng wasn’t the only victim? What if the culprit finds another target, and it’s their family? The thought of these possibilities sends shivers down their spines.

At the same time, in a nearby production team, a man was packing clothes in a panic. His face was pale and his back was covered with cold sweat. He rummaged through the cabinet and took out all the money inside. After that, he quickly left home. The glaring scratch marks on his neck were still bleeding as he ran away.

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu woke up before dawn. After kissing Li Chenmo on the chin, she went to the backyard and entered her own space. After taking a hot bath, she felt refreshed and went to the warehouse to get some white flour, white rice, noodles, meat, eggs, chicken, fish, and vegetables. Before leaving, she also picked up a bottle of oyster sauce.

Today is New Year’s Eve, and they will celebrate the New Year with Father Li. Although Father Li asked them not to bring any food to his house, Lu Jueyu took into account the appetites of her husband and the Li family and was afraid that Father Li’s food would be eaten by them until not much left. So, she still prepared some ingredients and brought them over.

Because they were going to Father Li’s house around nine in the morning, Lu Jueyu only steamed a few meat buns and prepared soy milk for breakfast. When the rooster crows, Li Chenmo wakes up. He went to the kitchen to get hot water.

When he walked into the kitchen, he saw his wife putting some meat into a bamboo basket. He walked over, hugged her from behind, kissed her earlobe, and said in a hoarse voice, “Good morning, wife.”

“Good morning, husband. Go wash up first. Breakfast is almost ready.”

“Mhmm.”

After Li Chenmo left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu took out a jar of chrysanthemum wine from her space. This wine is one of the products from her winery in the space. Unfortunately, the space produces wine in a huge barrel that holds 250 liters of wine. So, if she wanted to take it out, she would need to use a smaller container.

After Li Chenmo took a shower, they had their breakfast in the bedroom. While eating, Li Chenmo asked, “Wife, are you going to bring some ingredients to Father’s house?”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Father doesn’t have much food to begin with. Since we are going to have a meal there, we should at least bring something over. Otherwise, what will father do if he runs out of food before the distribution?”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Then bring more. My brothers ate a lot.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Alright, I will listen to you.”

After breakfast, Lu Jueyu went to get the eggs and filled the chicken feeder and water bowl in the coop, while Li Chenmo washed the dishes. When the sun rose to the third pole, they locked the doors and gate before they went to Father Li’s house.

Along the way, villagers greeted them from time to time. Everyone saw that there was nothing wrong with Li Chenmo’s legs, and he was not limping as they thought. When the aunts saw this, they were filled with regret. If they hadn’t hesitated back then, maybe they would be the ones who could get those good things now.

But no matter how much they regret, there is no medicine for regret. All they could do now was watch him doting on his sickly wife.

Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu didn’t know what the villagers were thinking, so they slowly walked towards Father Li’s house. Before entering the front yard, Lu Jueyu heard Lu Chenxuan’s voice. Facing Li Chenxuan, she actually felt very uncomfortable. His gaze gave her goosebumps all over her body, making her feel as disgusted as if she was being looked at by a pervert.

“Father, why haven’t my third brother and third sister-in-law come yet?”

“They can come whenever they want. You don’t need to worry about them.” Father Li’s voice sounded impatient.

Li Chenmo frowned when he heard his second brother’s tone when he asked about them. When they walked inside the front yard, he felt a tug on his sleeves and turned his head. He saw his wife was frowning and asked in a low voice, “Wife, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”

Lu Jueyu shook her head and said, “I just want to hold you.”

Li Chenmo didn’t know what happened to her, but he found that she looked a little uncomfortable. He nodded and took her hand as they entered the house. When they walked in, they found that everyone was there except the children.

Seeing them walking hand in hand, Father Li smiled and said, “Third son, Xiaoyu, you are here. Come, sit down first and warm yourself up.”

“Father, brothers, sisters-in-law.” The two of them greeted everyone first and then took their seats.

As Li Chenmo placed the bamboo basket down, Jiao Siyu asked, “Third brother, what did you bring?”

Li Chenmo ignored her, looked at Father Li and said, “Father, we brought you some ingredients from home. Later just use it to cook the meal.”

Father Li was both happy and distressed. Among the three sons, only Li Chenxuan came without bringing anything. Although he asked them not to bring anything, Li Chenze brought some eggs, meat and white flour. Although not as good as Li Chenmo, it was still his filial piety, so Father Li was happy and did not reject him.

Li Chenze and Zhang Dongmei did not feel embarrassed or jealous when they saw the things in the bamboo basket. Instead, they felt distressed and worried because Li Chenmo kept spending money recklessly.
