Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Our Family’s Money ( 2 )
“Jueyu, in two months, you will become my wife. Not to mention keeping my money, you can use it as you please.” Li Chenmo said firmly.

While Lu Jueyu lowered her head and contemplated, Li Chenmo clenched his fists to suppress his nervousness. While his tone sounded confident and determined, he wasn’t sure if she would agree. After all, they are not married yet, so it is really inappropriate. But he couldn’t help it. He felt that if he didn’t tie her up with something, she would leave his side.

After considering the pros and cons, Lu Jueyu finally said, “Okay, then I will keep it for you for the time being. If you need it, you can ask me anytime.”

Li Chenmo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, “From now on, you will be in charge of our family’s money.”

Lu Jueyu listened to Li Chenmo’s words, smiled and nodded. Although unexpected, she was delighted when he handed her all the money. It shows how much he trusts her.

With her agreeing to his request, Li Chenmo was in a good mood and his appetite grew. What’s more, the steamed buns are full of meat and eggs, even the soup is made with bones and ginseng. So it is very appetizing for people of this era.

Father Li and Xiao Zhang ate in the living room and kept praising her for her cooking skills. What they don’t know is that although Lu Jueyu is a chef, the reason why her food could be this delicious is because she uses the water in her space. Not only does it have health benefits, it also improves the taste of food.

While they were eating, Lu Jueyu went to the backyard to check the water tank. She scooped up the water, took a sip, and spit it out immediately. Sure enough, the well water in this village is brackish water. While brackish water can be used for power generation as cooling water or for mining, oil and gas, it is not safe to drink.

The salt content in the well water must be slightly higher than the fresh water, so the villagers only feel a little salty and can still drink it. But long-term consumption of brackish water can lead to many health problems.

After confirming her guess, she poured out the water in the tank without hesitation. Then, she entered her own space with a bucket, and came out with a bucket full of freshwater. She filled the water tank with water from the space.

She thought it would take five minutes for her to enter and exit the space, but in reality, it only took less than a second. If people saw her at this moment, they would see her body blinking rapidly. In less than five minutes, she filled the big water tank.

When she was done, she went back to the living room and saw that Father Li and Xiao Zhang were still eating. Suddenly, she realized something. She felt that the crops in her space were growing faster. Maybe, that’s not the case. Could it be that the time inside and outside her space is different? She needs to test it out to see how big the time difference really is.

When she entered Li Chenmo’s room, she sat on the edge of the bed and said, “You are not allowed to drink water from the well anymore. It is not good for your health. I have filled the water tank with freshwater. Use it for drinking or cooking.”

Li Chenmo looked at her and asked, “Where did you get the water from?”

Hearing his question, she froze. She didn’t know how to explain it. After all, there is no river near Li’s house. As for the mountain spring, she needs to walk fifteen minutes to reach it. So, it was impossible for her to fill the tank in ten minutes.

She knew it was far-fetched, but she still said with a straight face, “From the mountain. Otherwise, where else can I get it?”

“When did you do it? You just had a fever, don’t do heavy work.” He said with a hint of distress in his voice.

Realizing that he believed in her story, Lu Jueyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “You don’t have to worry, I know my limit. Just focus on your recovery. If you don’t come to pick me up on our wedding day, I won’t marry you.”

When Li Chenmo heard her mentioning their wedding, he was overjoyed, and instantly forgot about the water matter.

“Mhmmh, I will recover well. You just need to wait for me to pick you up,” he said with a smile, taking her hand.

Holding her soft hand, the corners of his lips curled up. As he ate her tofu, he still remembered to complain, “Your hands are so cold. Don’t touch cold water, it’s not good for your health. I’ll fill up the water tank next time.”

Lu Jueyu looked at him and said, “Next week, I will accompany you to the town to check your injuries.”

“Mhmm.”

“We can also buy some candy, fabric, and New Year’s items,” she added.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

The two chatted for a while, and after Father Li finished dinner, Lu Jueyu returned to her home. When she went back, she filled the basket with some eggs and meat from her space. Now that she decided to cook for Li Chenmo, she had to bring the ingredients back, otherwise her family would have an opinion about him. As for the money and coupons, she already put them in the space.

Although she didn’t know the exact amount, she could vaguely guess that there should be more than 5,000 yuan. She will count later.

When she got home, the family was having dinner. Mother Li saw that her shoulders were covered with snow, and said, “Yuyu, you just recovered, so don’t go out when it’s snowing.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “I just came back from Brother Chenmo’s place. He asked me to bring this back.”
