Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Henpecked Husband ( 2 )
Although everyone heard Jiao Siyu’s words, no one paid attention to her. They chatted for a while, and when the sun started to set, Zhang Dongmei and Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Jiao Siyu went to the front yard to chat with the neighbors.

In the kitchen, Zhang Dongmei is stir-frying the pickled vegetables and Lu Jueyu is making noodles.

“Third sister-in-law, don’t take what the second sister-in-law says to heart. She is always like this.” Zhang Dongmei said suddenly.

Lu Jueyu smiled at her and said, “I won’t mind what she says.”

Zhang Dongmei observed her expression and was relieved when she saw that Lu Jueyu didn’t mind Jiao Siyu’s words at all. Since ancient times, the relationship between sisters-in-law has always been difficult to maintain. She doesn’t want her husband to be separated from his brothers because of them.

Therefore, she strives to maintain a good relationship with her sisters-in-law. Although she was looked down upon by Jiao Siyu, Lu Jueyu respected her as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family. As the person closest to her husband is the third brother, it was enough as long as she can get along with Lu Jueyu.

“It’s good if that’s the case.”

Lu Jueyu said nothing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable despite their silence. After chatting for a long time in the living room, Li Chenxuan finally said, “Elder Brother, Third Brother, can I borrow some money from you?”

“I have no money at all.” Li Chenmo said as soon as Li Chenxuan finished speaking.

Li Chenxuan frowned at him and said, “You are the captain of the army. It is impossible that you have no savings at all. At least when you retire, your superiors will give you some money as a pension, right?”

“Yes, but I have given all the money to my wife. So, I can’t lend the money to you at all.” Li Chenmo said lightly.

Li Chenxuan’s eyes widened and he said in disbelief, “How could you give her all your money? What would you do if she spent all your money or she left you with nothing?”

Li Chenmo’s eyes darkened and he said coldly, “First, my wife will not leave me, and she is not someone who spends money recklessly. Second, this is a matter between me and my wife. So, I don’t need you to tell me what to do. Third, I’m happy to let her spend my money however she wants. What does that have to do with you?”

“As a man, you need to teach your wife how to behave well and control her. How can you be a henpecked husband?” Li Chenxuan said disdainfully.

“Said a man who didn’t even dare to refute his wife’s words and let her scold him in public. What a henpecked husband indeed.” Li Chenmo nodded and said with a sneer as he looked at Li Chenxuan.

Seeing that his second and third brother were about to quarrel again, Li Chenze said quickly, “Okay, stop arguing. Second brother, I only have twenty yuan to lend you at this moment.”

“How can twenty yuan be enough? It can only buy a little meat and rice.” Li Chenxuan said immediately.

“If you don’t have enough money to buy meat, eat vegetables. If you don’t have enough money to buy white rice, eat coarse grains. It’s not like you haven’t eaten those before.” Li Chenze said displeased.

Li Chenxuan saw his brother’s displeasure and said, “That’s not what I meant. Brother, you misunderstood me.”

Although it’s only twenty yuan, it’s better than nothing. After Li Chenze gave the money to Li Chenxuan, Li Chenmo said, “Second brother, remember to pay back the money. As a villager, we don’t have much money. More importantly, our nephews will go to school in the spring. They need to buy books and pencils.”

Li Chenxuan was a little unhappy with Li Chenmo’s words, but he could only nod his head and said, “Of course I will repay the money. Elder Brother, you don’t have to worry.”

“I believe you.” Li Chenze said with a smile.

When Li Chenmo heard his eldest brother’s words, he just sighed and said nothing. As they grew up, how many times had his second brother promised them, and how many times had he actually fulfilled his promise?

Even children know that no matter what his second brother says, it is like fart. He has never fulfilled his promise. It’s a pity that his eldest brother is too honest and never doubts his second brother’s words. It seems that the money lent to him today could be said to be gone to the drain.

At the same time, in the neighboring production team, Xiao Li was sitting on the edge of the Kang bed, wiping the sweaty forehead of a young man. Lying on the bed with a red face was Ling Yun, an orphan who lived alone at the end of the village. There was a deep gash on his arm, inflicted by a wild animal. Judging from the shape, the wound was caused by a wild boar.

“What should I do now?” Xiao Li said anxiously.

At noon, he went to ask Doctor Xie for help but was refused. After persuading him for a long time, Doctor Xie still refused. He couldn’t help but get angry and started quarreling with him.

He wanted to take Ling Yun to the town hospital, but he had no money. More importantly, he was injured to save him. If he didn’t do anything, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. He looked at Ling Yun’s injuries and became even more anxious. If the wound is not treated quickly, he may bleed to death. Even if he can survive this disaster, if the injury is not taken care of properly, his hand may become useless.

After racking his brains, Xiao Li finally remembered the female educated youth in the neighboring production team that Ling Yun had helped before. Maybe he could ask her to repay the favor and take Ling Yun to the town hospital. After making this decision, he stood up, glanced at the unconscious Ling Yun again, then closed the door and ran towards Xie village as fast as he could.
