Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Uninvited Guest
Hearing Li Jinqian’s words, Zhang Dongmei bent down, looked into her son’s eyes, and said, “Xiaoqian, you have to remember that wealth is important, but it is not everything. We have a lot of food, so it doesn’t matter if we give some to your second aunt who has no food at all.”

“But Mother, my second aunt is so hateful. Not only is she rude to you, she also wants to sow discord between you and my father.” Li Jingqian was still unhappy. He doesn’t understand why his mother always gives in to his second aunt.

“She may be hateful, but she is also very pitiful. Compared to her, we are much happier. She can say these things as she likes, but it is our choice to listen or not. Xiaoqian, as a person, we must be open-minded and generous. Helping others is equal to helping yourself. Don’t block all roads, because one day you may need to walk that road. Do you understand?” Zhang Dongmei said patiently.

Although Li Jingqian didn’t quite understand what his mother said, he still nodded and remembered it in his heart. He believed that he would understand his mother’s words in the future.

“Alright, don’t be unhappy anymore. Mother will make your favorite meat buns for you in a while. Now, you go and play with your brother.” After Zhang Dongmei finished speaking, she continued to plow the land.

Being coaxed by his mother, Li Jingqian forgot all the unhappy things in the blink of an eye. All he could think about now was the meat buns for dinner.

Although Zhang Dongmei didn’t know much about the situation in the second branch, she knew that the second brother was actually having an affair with someone else’s wife. So he kept giving money to that woman to buy things, leaving nothing for his wife, Jiao Siyu. Almost all the villagers knew about this, except Jiao Siyu who was still in the dark. That’s why Zhang Dongmei said she was pitiful.

As a woman, she pitied Jiao Siyu for having a bad husband. She didn’t want to embarrass her because they were both women. There is no need to make things difficult for another woman. If she were in Jiao Siyu’s position, she might collapse when she found out about her husband having an affair with another woman. Therefore, despite her hateful character, she also admitted that Jiao Siyu was a strong woman.

As for Jiao Siyu, after she left Li Chenze’s house, she went to her house near Father Li’s house. She put the vegetables in the kitchen and went to Li Chenmo’s house. Her husband has gone into town and told her that he needed to meet his employer to borrow money and asked her to wait for him in the village.

When he left, Li Chenxuan took all their money away, so now she has no money nor food at all and can only go to her husband’s brothers for money and food. Although it is embarrassing, it is better than going to her parents’ house to beg for food. At least, her husband’s family didn’t dare to humiliate her too much. As for her natal family, if her parents knew about her current situation, let alone helping her, they might even sever ties with her.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo had just returned from town. Since he needed to get piglets from the production team, Li Chenmo wanted to ask Han Yuheng about it.

“Wife, I’m going to visit the team leader. I’ll be back around noon.” Li Chenmo said after taking a sip of hot water.

“Okay, be careful when you go out. Take this and give it to the team leader.” Lu Jueyu said while handing him a small basket.

Li Chenmo looked at the basket and saw a small bottle of sesame oil, a small jar of wild honey, and ten eggs. He understood that his wife gave this to Han Yuheng to make everything easier for him. Since he knew that these things came from his wife’s space, he did not refuse and took them away.

Not long after Li Chenmo left, Jiao Siyu came over. Unlike Li Chenze’s family who likes to open their doors during the day, Lu Jueyu hates being disturbed by villagers who come to chat, so she always locks the door. So, when Jiao Siyu pushed the door, she couldn’t open it and was stunned. After pushing several times but still unable to open the door, she finally knocked on the door.

“Lu Jueyu, open the door for me!” She shouted and kept banging on the door loudly.

If people didn’t know better, they would have thought that Lu Jueyu was owing money to her.

After waiting for a while, the door was finally opened, and Lu Jueyu stood there, blocking the way. Jiao Siyu was unhappy and wanted to enter the house. But before she could push Lu Jueyu away, Lu Jueyu dodged her hand and Jiao Siyu almost fell to the ground.

After she stabilized her footing, she glared at Lu Jueyu and said, “Lu Jueyu, is this your attitude towards guests?”

Lu Jueyu rolled her eyes when she heard Jiao Siyu’s words. She was indeed a guest, but an uninvited one. She always asks obvious questions, making Lu Jueyu doubt her IQ. But even though she was thinking this, Lu Jueyu still looked at Jiao Siyu with a smile and asked, “Why is my second sister-in-law here today?”

Jiao Siyu snorted and said, “I’m here to visit the third brother. Where is he?”

Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows and said, “My husband is not at home. You can just tell me what you want, and I will tell my husband later.”

“No need to disturb you. I will wait for the third brother.” Jiao Siyu said.

“Second sister-in-law, you came to find my husband early in the morning. With this, you have already disturbed me.” Lu Jueyu said while emphasizing the word ‘my husband’.
