Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1287

Chapter 1287: What A Joke ( 1 )
Thirty minutes later, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo finally arrived at the Lu family’s house. As they entered the yard, they saw Mother Lu carrying a bag while Lu Han was tying up a bamboo basket.

Seeing them, Mother Lu asked, “Jueyu, Son-in-law, what brought you two here so early?”

“Mother, Eldest Brother,” Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo greeted them.

Li Chenmo set down the bamboo basket and said, “Mother, we prepared fish soup and some food for the Second Sister-in-law and Second Brother-in-law.”

“It’s inconvenient for my wife to visit the hospital, and I don’t feel at ease leaving her alone at home. So, we would like to trouble you and Eldest Brother to help deliver this,” he added.

Hearing this, Mother Lu’s eyes lit up with joy. As someone who had experienced a lot in life, she instantly understood her son-in-law’s meaning.

She held her daughter’s hand and patted it gently while saying, “There is no need for you to go personally. Leave it to me. Your second brother and sister-in-law will understand.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, “Thank you, Mother.”

Mother Lu looked her daughter over and saw that she was well cared for and had even gained some weight. Her satisfaction with her son-in-law grew.

Looking at him warmly, she said, “Son-in-law, thank you for your hard work. If you ever need help, just come to us. No need to be polite.”

“I will keep that in mind, Mother,” Li Chenmo nodded.

Unlike his second brother, Lu Han wasn’t naive—he could guess that his sister might be pregnant. Since they hadn’t announced it yet, the pregnancy was likely still early. Even so, his face was full of smiles, wondering if it would be a little nephew or a little niece.

As they chatted, the sound of a bullock cart’s wheels echoed from outside. Turning around, they saw Zhang Ermu stepping down from the driver’s seat.

Seeing him, Lu Han asked, “Brother Zhang, what brings you here?”

Zhang Ermu walked over and replied, “Brother Lu Han, the team leader had something to do, so he asked me to come and help.”

Hearing this, Lu Han felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Sorry to trouble you, Brother Zhang.”

Zhang Ermu shook his head and replied, “It’s no trouble. My family and I have received a lot of help from your sister and Brother Chenmo. It’s only natural to help in return.”

After a brief chat, they loaded the baskets and bags onto the cart. Once everything was ready, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo returned home while the Lu family headed to the hospital.

At the gate, Father Lu hugged his sobbing granddaughter and said, “Wenfeng, be good. In a few days, your parents will bring back your younger siblings.”

Lu Wenfeng wiped her tears and said, “Wenfeng is good. Wenfeng is an older sister now.”

Rubbing her head gently, Father Lu chuckled and said, “Yes. Grandpa will teach you how to make a grasshopper out of grass. Then you can make one for your younger siblings.”

Hearing this, Lu Wenfeng clapped her hands and cheered, “Yay! Grandpa is the best!”

Father Lu’s laughter echoed through the yard as he carried her to the backyard.

Meanwhile, in Yun Village, Grandpa Feng looked at his son in surprise. Opening the gate, he asked, “Ah Chen, why didn’t you inform us when you came back?”

“Father, I heard that Yue’er is back. Where is she?” Feng Chen asked anxiously.

After learning that his wife was still alive, he rushed back without resting. He only hoped to meet her and ask what was going on. Where had she been all these years?

When Grandpa Feng heard his words, he was stunned. He glanced at the house hesitantly.

The moment Feng Chen saw this, his eyes lit up. Without waiting for his father, he threw his bag down and rushed into the house while calling, “Yue’er!”

His heart was full of expectation and joy at reuniting with his love. But when he entered the house, he was stunned. His wife was smiling at a man. When he lowered his gaze, he saw their hands clasped.

In an instant, his heart sank, and his body turned cold. He stood there for a long time without moving.

Grandma Feng was shocked to see her son return so suddenly. She stood up and walked over. Holding her son’s icy hand, she asked, “Ah Chen, why are you back without informing us?”

Hearing his mother’s words, Feng Chen came back to his senses. Without moving his gaze from Ye Xinyue’s surprised eyes, he asked hoarsely, “Mother, what’s going on here? Who is he?”

He Xieyu stood up and walked over. Stretching out his hand, he introduced himself, “Hello, Comrade Feng. My name is He Xieyu, Ye Xinyue’s husband.”

As soon as he heard this, Feng Chen’s face turned pale, and he staggered back. Grandma Feng was startled and quickly reached out to support him.

Holding onto the doorframe, he shook his head and said in disbelief, “No, you are lying. That person is not Yue’er. We made a promise before. She would never—”

Before he could finish his words, He Xieyu sighed and interrupted him, “Comrade Feng, I know this might be hard for you to accept, but my marriage with my wife is legal and we have our marriage certificates.”

“I think you need to hear our explanation about what happened five years ago and during these past five years,” he added calmly.

When he heard this, Feng Chen glanced at him before turning to Ye Xinyue. When their gazes met, he no longer saw the love she once had for him. Now, in her bright eyes, there was only sadness, weariness, and worry.

Seeing her looking at him as if he were a stranger, he felt as if his heart were being stabbed by a blunt knife. The pain was so unbearable that he was breathless.

Noticing something was wrong, He Xieyu’s eyes flashed, and he took a step forward.
