Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174: Reluctances
“Second Brother, I still have honey at home. You can take some for your wife and help me build greenhouses. My wife and I plan to clear the vegetable gardens and set up greenhouses before planting new crops,” Li Chenmo said after hearing his brother’s words.

“Greenhouses? What are those?” Li Lingyun asked curiously.

“They are structures that keep the internal temperature stable. We are using bamboo and thatch to cover the plot. This ensures the temperature inside stays warm enough for autumn or summer crops. This way, we can plant them even during the winter season,” Li Chenmo explained.

Hearing his brother’s words, Li Lingyun was surprised and said, “Can we really plant autumn and summer crops during winter? That’s amazing!”

Seeing how excited his brother was, Li Chenmo nodded and added with a straight face, “I read about it in a foreign book during my time in the army. Even if we can’t keep the temperature warm, at least the roof will protect crops from snow, preventing them from freezing so we can enjoy fresh vegetables in winter.”

After considering it, Li Lingyun nodded and said, “Alright, I will help you build greenhouses. But in exchange, I want your help building greenhouses for my garden.”

Hearing his brother’s words, Li Chenmo replied with a chuckle, “Second Brother, you could have just asked. Even without your help, I would assist you.”

Li Lingyun stood up and said, “I know. Let’s go to your house now. My wife will be back soon, and I need to prepare honey water for her.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu asked, “Second Brother, is my sister-in-law unwell?”

“She has been dealing with a sore throat lately,” Li Lingyun replied calmly.

The moment he heard this, Li Chenmo shot his second brother a look and reminded him in a low voice, “Second Brother, don’t overdo it. You are not young anymore, and excessive pleasure isn’t good for your health.”

As soon as she heard her husband’s words, Lu Jueyu understood the implication and blushed instantly.

‘These two are truly brothers by blood—both are so shameless!’ she thought.

Li Lingyun gives his third brother a roll eyes and ignores his taunting. After he locked his doors and gate, the three of them headed to Li Chenmo’s house.

After they arrived, Li Chenmo led his second brother to the west wing area and showed him the greenhouses.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out jars of honey from her space. Thinking about how Pan Meijia was ‘tortured’ daily by Li Lingyun, she added two spoonfuls of spiritual herb powder into the honey and stirred it well.

With the spiritual herbs powder, her second sister-in-law could recover energy faster. While the soreness wouldn’t disappear completely, it was better than nothing.

Meanwhile, Pan Meijia was sending off Xiao Yiguan with Doctor Xie at the village entrance. Despite no longer being as close as before, she still thought of him as her brother.

Therefore, when her husband told her to send her friend off and even gave her some meat jerky and rice wine as a gift for the other party, she was very happy. By doing this, her husband gave her a lot of face and showed his trust in her.

Handing the package to him, Pan Meijia said, “Brother Xiao, these are some meat jerky and rice wine made by my husband. I wish you a smooth journey.”

Xiao Yiguan accepted the gift and said with a smile, “Thank your husband for me.”

After a moment of hesitation, he added, “Jiajia, I wish you a happy marriage. If he dares to bully you, you must send a letter to me and let me know. Brother will come and beat him for you.”

When she heard this, Pan Meijia laughed and nodded, “Okay, I will definitely tell you if my husband dares to bully me.”

Seeing her smile, Xiao Yiguan felt as if a huge stone pressing on his chest had been removed. This time, he truly let go of his feelings for her. From now on, she was just his sister, nothing more.

Reaching out, he patted her head gently, just as he used to, and said, “Jiajia, you must take care of yourself. Brother will come to visit you again.”

Pan Meijia nodded and replied, “Brother Xiao, you also need to take care of yourself. If you need anything, just contact me.”

“Okay,” Xiao Yiguan nodded.

At the same time, Xie Xuanzi was looking at his uncle with reluctance.

Seeing his nephew’s meaningful gaze, Doctor Xie shivered and scolded him, “Brat, can’t you stop looking at me like that? You are making me feel disgusted.”

After living with his uncle for a few days, Xie Xuanzi was used to his sharp tongue. He let out a long sigh and said, “Uncle, if you manage to get the wound ointment, you must remember to keep my share. Or better yet, send it over to me.”

Hearing his words, Doctor Xie snorted and replied, “I haven’t even got the ointment, and you are already eyeing my things. You are indeed as cunning as your father.”

“Uncle, I won’t take it for free. As long as you can get the ointment, I’m willing to pay for it,” Xie Xuanzi said helplessly.

When Doctor Xie heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face as he said, “In that case, I will keep your share reluctantly.”

Xie Xuanzi chuckled at his uncle’s words and said, “Uncle, I’m leaving now. I will come to visit you again when I have a holiday. Take care of yourself and remember to send me a letter.”

Doctor Xie waved his hand impatiently and said with a frown, “I know, I know. Why are you so naggy, like an old woman?”

Seeing this, Xie Xuanzi shook his head helplessly and boarded his car. After Xiao Yiguan sat in the passenger seat, the car finally drove away.

Looking at the departing car, Doctor Xie let out a long sigh and stood there until it was no longer visible.
