Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Imagination
After the New Year, the temperature begins to warm up and the snow melts. Lu Jueyu spent her days peacefully preparing the land for planting in the front and backyard. After the Lantern Festival, they can start growing vegetables in their own home.

It had been two days since she and Li Chenmo visited the black market. Thinking of the jade bracelet she got from the old man, she wanted to go to the black market again. Maybe she should talk to her husband about it. It would be better if they could get more jade, gold, and antiques before the economic reform. After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Jueyu decided to wait until her husband came back and tell him everything.

Yesterday, the leaders of the production team notified the villagers that they would hold a meeting today to discuss the spring plowing plan.

Li Chenmo went out after breakfast and just arrived at the village hall. When he entered, he saw that the hall was packed with people and there were no empty seats available. So, he stood at the back near the door, waiting for the meeting to begin.

When the villagers saw him, they were surprised that his legs were fine and not limping as they had imagined. What’s more, he looks healthy, with a rosy complexion, and he even seems to have gained some weight in the past month. He didn’t look like someone seriously injured at all. On the contrary, he looks more handsome and energetic than before.

Li Chenmo noticed that the villagers were whispering and peeking at him from time to time. He didn’t care what they were thinking or saying about him. As long as they didn’t speak ill of his wife, he would pretend not to know they were speaking ill of him behind his back.

At first, some girls looked at him secretly and wanted to talk to him, but seeing his indifferent attitude, they did not dare to get close. They didn’t know who started the gossip, but most people knew that Li Chenmo and his wife only had a superficial relationship. They have not consummated their marriage and may separate at any time.

If what they heard was true, then they still had a chance to get this man. He was not only a military officer before, he was also filial and very diligent. With his looks, personality and money, he deserves a better woman.

They were convinced that Li Chenmo was forced to marry Lu Jueyu, and at this moment, they all believed that he would fall in love with them as long as they had the chance to get close to him. After all, their personalities, health, and family conditions are better than Lu Jueyu’s, so why should he choose Lu Jueyu instead of them?

While the girls were immersed in their imaginations, people from the Lu family arrived. When Lu Cheng saw Li Chenmo standing at the door, he walked toward him with his daughter in his arms.

“Brother-in-law, why are you standing here alone? Where is Jueyu?” Lu Cheng asked, patting Li Chenmo on the shoulder.

As soon as Li Chenmo heard Lu Cheng’s voice, his indifferent aura disappeared instantly. He looked at the Lu family and greeted them with a smile, “Father, mother, brother, sister-in-law.”

After greeting them, Li Chenmo looked at Lu Cheng and said, “Jueyu is at home. Since the weather is still cold, I didn’t let her come with me. There are no seats, so I’m standing here.”

Lu Cheng nodded, looked at his daughter and said, “Xiao Feng, say hello to your uncle.”

Lu Wenfeng turned to look at Li Chenmo and said in a sweet voice, “Hello, uncle.”

Li Chenmo smiled and took out a milk candy from his pocket. Ever since Lu Jueyu fainted that day, he had always kept some candies in his pocket to prevent his wife from having hypoglycemia.

He handed her the candy and said, “Good girl.”

Lu Wenfeng held the candy in her little hands and said, “Thank you, uncle.”

After saying that, she buried her head in her father’s shoulder. Li Chenmo thought how great it would be if he and his wife could have a daughter. Their daughter will definitely be as cute as Lu Jueyu’s. She will be very beautiful when she grows up.

Lu Cheng looked around the hall and saw his friend waving to him. He nodded to his friend and said, “My friend has reserved a seat for us. Let’s go over there.”

They nodded and followed him. When he walked to the bench near the stage, Lu Cheng greeted his friend and said, “Brother Xiao, thank you for leaving a seat for me and my family.”

“No problem.” Xiao Li waved his hand and said with a smile.

“Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, please have a seat.” He added.

“Thank you, Xiao Li.” Father Lu said with a smile.

“Uncle, this is just a small thing. You are like a father to me, and this is what I should do.” Xiao Li scratched his head and said.

He still remembers that when he was five years old, there was a landslide where his family lived on the side of the mountain. His house was destroyed due to a landslide during the night. His parents and he were buried under the earth.

At that time, the villagers had given up but Father Lu and his friends refused to give up and kept digging. After several hours of digging, they finally found him, who was on the verge of death. Unfortunately, his parents died in the disaster.

After that, he lived with his grandparents. But because his grandparents lived with his uncle, his uncle’s wife regarded him as a burden and only gave him some food to keep him alive but he never had a full belly. If Father Lu hadn’t fed him every two days, he might have starved to death before he grew up. Therefore, he always regarded Father Lu as his own father.

“Chen Mo, you have a seat too.” Mother Lu pointed at the bench and said to her son-in-law.

“Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Brother Xiao.” Li Chenmo said before he sat down.
