Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159: Confrontation ( 1 )
Although she was confident the business wouldn’t fail, Lu Jueyu wanted to discuss it with her husband first. So, she replied, “Second Brother, I will talk it over with my husband and give you an answer tomorrow.”

Given the substantial sum involved, it was understandable for her to consult Li Chenmo.

“Alright, we will wait for your decision,” Li Lingyun nodded understandingly.

After they finished their discussions, Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua went to visit Liu Piao, while Pan Meijia turned to her third sister-in-law and said, “Third sister-in-law, I want to retrieve the money I entrusted to you. Will it be convenient?”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu understood that her sister-in-law intended to use the money for the business investment. She nodded and said, “It’s convenient. Second sister-in-law, please wait a moment. I will get the money.”

“Okay.”

After a while, Lu Jueyu returned with an envelope. She handed the money to her sister-in-law and said, “Second sister-in-law, here is your money. Please count it to confirm that the amount is right.”

Although Pan Meijia trusted her sister-in-law, she agreed and counted the money on the spot to avoid any misunderstanding in the future. Once they ensured the amount was correct, she handed over the agreement she had previously received from Lu Jueyu.

“Third sister-in-law, sorry to trouble you with this,” she said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Seeing her awkwardness, Lu Jueyu chuckled and replied, “Second sister-in-law, why are you being so polite with me? We were good friends before, and now we are family, we should be closer than before. If you are too polite, I will think that you are treating me like a stranger.”

Pan Meijia smiled shyly and said, “Well, I don’t know how to act now that we are sisters-in-law.”

“Then just treat me like you always did before. The only difference is that you married my husband’s second brother—that’s all. Everything else is the same, so there is no need to feel shy or awkward,” Lu Jueyu replied warmly.

Reassured by her sister-in-law’s words, Pan Meijia finally relaxed and let out a genuine grin. “Then I will come visit you more often,” she said.

Nodding in agreement, Lu Jueyu said, “Please do so. If my second sister-in-law visits me more often, I won’t feel so bored during the day. When you come, I will bake your favorite cake and snacks.”

Hearing this, Pan Meijia’s eyes lit up with excitement and exclaimed, “Third sister-in-law, I would love to eat pizza!”

“No problem, I will bake it for you tomorrow,” Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

Seeing his wife finally relax and act naturally, Li Lingyun felt relieved and nodded at his sister-in-law gratefully.

After finishing their business, the two of them took their leave and returned home.

When she was alone, Lu Jueyu went to the woodshed and collected all the lettuce there into her own space. She then attached the carts to her bicycle and filled one of the carts with several barrels of lake water.

Then she filled four bamboo baskets with various vegetables, salt, peanut oil, soybeans and grains. When she was done, she covered the car with old cloth and tied it up with twine. This way, no one would know what she was carrying.

After locking the door, Lu Jueyu left home on her bicycle. As she passed Aunt Li’s house, she glanced over and saw Shitou pulling weeds on their small garden while Aunt Li was washing clothes near the well.

Now that Li Shu no longer lived with them, Aunt Li was finally willing to let her grandson work. Although she pitied the boy, she felt no sympathy for Aunt Li.

What Aunt Li had done to Li Shu was something Lu Jueyu could never accept. Because of that, she was no longer willing to speak to her, let alone maintain any kind of relationship.

As for Aunt Li’s son, she would still exchange words with Li Sang when necessary, but she no longer treated him as warmly as before.

After everything that had happened, the only person she treated the same as before was Shitou. The boy’s feelings and attitude toward his sister had never changed, and for that, he still held a place in her heart.

When Lu Jueyu passed Aunt Li’s house, Aunt Li noticed her and seemed ready to greet her. But remembering the indifference she received from the other party, Aunt Li lowered her hand and continued washing clothes in silence.

Since she was carrying a lot of items, Lu Jueyu couldn’t pedal her bike too fast. It took her almost an hour to reach the area near Feng Lin’s house.

When she arrived, she noticed the gate was open, and faint sounds of a woman scolding could be heard from afar. Frowning at the harsh words, Lu Jueyu rode her bicycle into the yard. She had a feeling that the woman inside was Feng Lin’s stepmother.

Knowing the other party was likely there to cause trouble and might even snatch the food if she saw it, Lu Jueyu looked around and found some dried hay in the corner.

After she parked her bicycle at the hidden corner and used it to cover the bicycle.

Once she was sure the bicycle was well hidden, she picked up a bamboo basket containing five eggs and a small bottle of peanut oil before she walked toward the house. The closer she got, the clearer the woman’s voice became.

“I warn you, if you still refuse to hand over the food, I will tell your son that I will move into this house! Let’s see who has the last laugh then!”

Lu Jueyu frowned at the words and knocked on the door while calling out, “Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng.”

The moment they heard her voice, Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng were surprised. They saw her standing at the door and exclaimed with a hint of embarrassment, “Jueyu, what brings you here?”

Before Lu Jueyu could answer, Yang Mengyao glared at her and demanded, “Who are you?”
