Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Bribe
Han Yuheng can’t take any more risks at this time. Huang Yuanfeng’s case remains unsolved. If something happened to him, his wife and children would suffer. Regarding Xiao Yiqing’s matter, he will just think about what to do in the future. As long as he insists he had nothing to do with it, no one can blame him.

After the commotion, some villagers went to Lu’s house to visit and told them what Xiao Yiqing said. Just when they thought the Lu family would question the relationship between Li Chenmo and Xiao Yiqing, Lu Jueyu entered the living room.

She sat down next to Li Chenmo, looked at everyone, and said with a smile, “Uncles and aunties, thank you for telling me and my family about this matter.”

While they were confused by her words, she continued, “Ever since Xiao Yiqing was kicked out of my parents’ house, she has always held a grudge against my family, especially me. She does harbor a feeling for my husband, but this is just her wishful thinking. My husband and I love each other and we have a very good relationship. So if anyone dares to slander my husband or spread unsubstantiated rumors, I will not be polite to them.”

“I hope my uncles and aunts can help me explain it clearly to others.” Lu Jueyu added with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

Everyone trembled when they heard her words and saw her cold eyes. They didn’t expect that she, who was usually quiet and weak, could show such an intimidating stance today. It seemed that she was really offended by these rumors. They glanced at Li Chenmo, who looked at Lu Jueyu with a doting and proud smile.

“Jueyu, don’t worry. I will definitely scold anyone who dares to talk nonsense.” Aunt Su said with a reassuring smile.

“Thank you, Aunt Su. I made some maltose a few days ago. I heard your grandchildren loved maltose candy. You can bring some back for them later.” Chen Anwen said with a smile.

When the others heard her words, their eyes lit up. They comforted Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo and told them that they would help them remind other villagers and correct the rumor. Mother Lu glanced at Chen Anwen and used the teacup to cover her smile as she drank her tea.

Lu Jueyu understood that her eldest sister-in-law was using these snacks to bribe the villagers to support her. Although they did nothing wrong, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were still no match against countless mouths. Rumor is such a frightening thing.

Chen Anwen didn’t want to see her sister-in-law return to her gloomy and depressed self again, so she chose to give some benefits to silence the villagers.

When the guests left Lu’s house, each of them was holding a small package filled with various roasted nuts, candies and cookies. Their smiles were bright, making other villagers wonder what was going on.

When Aunt Su returned home, her neighbor saw a small package in her hand and a smile on her face. She asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, what happened to make you so happy?”

“I just came back from a visit to the Lu family. They heard that my grandchildren will be back tomorrow, so they gave these to me.” Aunt Su said while showing the package.

When the neighbor saw what was inside, she said enviously, “Sister-in-law, the Lu family treats you so well. No wonder you have such a good relationship with them.”

“What are you talking about? They treat everyone very well.” Aunt Su said with a smile.

“By the way, have you heard about what happened to the Yang family this morning?” Aunt Su’s neighbor suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Aunt Su’s eyes flashed for a moment before she sighed and said, “How could I not know when they cause such a big ruckus? It’s just that Xiao Yiqing slandered the reputation of Jueyu and her husband, which I find hard to accept.”

The neighbor asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, why do you say that?”

“You don’t know how much Jueyu and her husband love each other. Even a blind person can see how devoted her husband is to her. How could he be related to Xiao Yiqing? Whatever she said this morning about Jueyu’s husband is all her own wishful thinking and her attempt to destroy other people’s marriage!” Aunt Su said, with a hint of anger in her voice.

After hearing what she said, the neighbor’s eyes lit up and asked, “So, the rumors are not true?”

“Of course not! She came to our village just a month ago. How could she be related to Old Li’s third son? When he came back, he was seriously injured and did not leave home until his wedding day. Whoever believes Xiao Yiqing’s words is a fool!” Aunt Su snorted coldly.

The neighbor rubbed her nose because she was one of those stupid people. She could only smile awkwardly and said, “Of course, I don’t believe Xiao Yiqing’s words either. However, they may meet in a town or capital. After all, no one knew what happened before Li Chenmo returned to the village.”

“Think about it, if Li Chenmo really had a relationship with her, would he do nothing when she had nowhere to go after being chased out by Old Lu? He would definitely let her live in his home. What’s more, before Lu Jueyu had a high fever, she always wanted to break off the engagement, but Li Chenmo insisted on keeping their engagement.” Aunt Su said with a frown.

“As a soldier with high military rank and good salary, if he didn’t love Lu Jueyu, would he insist on marrying a village girl who didn’t like him? What’s more, Xiao Yiqing has capital citizenship, is beautiful, young, and has a wealthy family. If he is interested in her, will he insist on marrying a villager?” Aunt su added.

The neighbor opened her eyes wide and seemed to finally understand, “Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense! Now I finally understand the situation.”
