Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Her Secret ( 2 )
Curious about the letter inside, Lu Jueyu opened the red package. The moment she looked inside, she was stunned. It turned out that the red package was not a letter left by her mother-in-law, but a large sum of money. She took out the money and counted it carefully.

“Heavens, how could my father-in-law give me so much money?” she said to herself.

The total money inside the red package is four thousand yuan, not four hundred yuan! With this money, she can buy a lot of antiques, jade, and gold.

Thinking of this, she finally understood Father Li’s intention. She heard that after her husband joined the army, he always sent back more than half of his salary. It seems that Father Li saved the money. Now that her husband is injured and unable to work for several months, Father Li is afraid that they will not have enough to eat. So, Father Li gave her the money.

She put the money together with the money from her husband and put it in a drawer before leaving the space. Since Li Chenmo hadn’t come back yet, she took out ten kilograms of cotton and ten yards of fabric. These should be enough to make a king-size quilt.

The last time she went to Father Li’s house, she found that the quilt in Father Li’s room was old and thin. Even if there is a Kang bed, it cannot keep him warm at night. Although winter is almost over, Father Li is getting older and still needs quilts in spring.

As soon as Li Chenmo entered the room, he was shocked by the fabric and cotton inside. He looked around and found no place where his wife could store so much cotton. His eyes flashed as he thought of where she could possibly store these things.

“Wife, when did you buy these cotton and fabrics?” he asked, sitting next to her.

“I bought this before we got married.” Lu Jueyu lied without blushing.

Li Chenmo looked at her deeply and asked, “Where did you store it? Why didn’t I know about it before?”

Lu Jueyu has already thought about this question and has prepared an answer. So, she said without batting an eye, “I store it in the back room near the backyard.”

Li Chenmo looked at her as his eyes dimmed and asked, “Wife, you didn’t hide anything from me, did you?”

When Lu Jueyu heard his words, her heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had discovered her space. After thinking about it, she became convinced that there was no way he could know. So, she pretended to be displeased and asked him, “What? Are you doubting me?”

Seeing her pouting, Li Chenmo sighed and said, “Since you didn’t hide anything from me, why are you getting angry? I’m just asking.”

Lu Jueyu looked at him thoughtfully and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn’t show any doubts about her words. Instead of answering his question, she changed the subject.

“Husband, I plan to help Father make a quilt. The quilt he uses is very old and too thin. Although winter is almost over, Father is getting older, so he still needs to use a quilt in spring.”

Li Chenmo just nodded and said, “Don’t be too tired.”

“I know.”

While she was concentrating on sewing, Li Chenmo looked at her with a complicated gaze. What she didn’t know was that he actually knew there was something about her that couldn’t be explained by logic.

At first, when he saw the old man taking out two jars of meat sauce and fifteen steamed buns from the bamboo basket, he thought there was something wrong with his eyes. He clearly remembered that when he left Huozi’s place, the bamboo basket was empty. Why are there so many things in the bamboo basket?

He also saw the old man handing her a jade bangle bracelet, but when she turned around, the jade bracelet was gone. He also noticed that she would occasionally disappear. The first time he couldn’t find her in the house, he panicked, thinking something might have happened to her. But before he could go out to look for her, he saw her walking out of their bedroom. He had clearly checked the room before and found it empty.

From then on, he paid more attention to her and found that the jars and bottles in the kitchen would be filled to the brim again whenever there were less than half of the items left. They obviously didn’t go out to buy anything, so where did the food come from?

While he was curious about where she was going or what she possessed, he was more afraid that one day she would suddenly disappear and never come back. He didn’t want to force her to tell him anything if she didn’t want to. He would wait until she was willing to tell him.

Just now he wanted to see if she would tell him, but she chose to lie to him. Although he was disappointed, he could only keep it in his heart. He can’t lose her, no matter if she is human, immortal, or a ghost.

Lu Jueyu didn’t know that her husband already knew her secret and was still humming while sewing the quilt. When Li Chenmo saw her smile, his tense heart relaxed slightly. As long as she’s happy, it doesn’t matter if she has a secret. Since she wanted to hide it from him, he should just pretend he didn’t know. He will protect her and won’t let anyone know her secret.

Not knowing what her husband was thinking, Lu Jueyu glanced at the man next to her and considered when to tell him about her space. After all, they promised not to hide anything from each other. She didn’t want to lie to him, so she had to find time to tell him. She just hoped that after he knew about her space, he would not regard her as a ghost or a weirdo.
