Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Symptoms
There was a bruise on Jiao Siyu’s arm from the New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s been almost half a month and it still hasn’t healed. In addition to the bruises, she lost so much weight in a short period of time. Her skin was pale and she had multiple rashes on her hands and neck. She also noticed that every time Jiao Siyu finished speaking, she would take a few short breaths, as if she had just finished running and out of breath.

Lu Jueyu was not sure whether Jiao Siyu really had cancer, but these symptoms were very similar to the symptoms of blood cancer that she knew, so it was better for Jiao Siyu to go to the hospital for a check-up. She put the bamboo basket on the table, sat down opposite Jiao Siyu, and said seriously, “Sister-in-law, you don’t look good. If you have any illness, it’s better to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

When Jiao Siyu heard what she said, she glared at her and asked, “Are you cursing me? Do you think you don’t need money to get checked in the hospital?”

Lu Jueyu pointed at the bruises on Jiao Siyu’s arm and asked, “Sister-in-law, your bruises look so painful. Did you get hit by something?”

Jiao Siyu lowered her eyes to look at the bruises and said nonchalantly, “Oh, I bumped into the table during New Year’s Eve dinner. It didn’t hurt, but it really took a long time for it to heal.”

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu’s heart sank. Her situation is very similar to that of her colleague in her previous life who was diagnosed with a blood cancer. After thinking about it, she said, “Sister-in-law, how about I take you to the hospital for a checkup? Since bruises are difficult to heal, you can go to the doctor to find out what’s wrong with your body.”

Jiao Siyu snorted at her words and said, “If you have so much money, you might as well buy some meat for me.”

When Lu Jueyu heard this, she shook her head and sighed. People in this era really… They only think about eating meat all day long. Since Jiao Siyu rejected her offer, Lu Jueyu stopped insisting and said, “These are for you. I’m very busy now and can’t entertain you. Sister-in-law, please leave first.”

As soon as Jiao Siyu saw the food, her eyes lit up and said, “Since you are busy, I won’t bother you any longer.”

After saying that, she didn’t forget to take out the remaining biscuits from the jar before leaving. Lu Jueyu looked at her back thoughtfully, trying to recall the information about Jiao Siyu in the original novel. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t remember any information about Jiao Siyu’s illness.

She doesn’t know if it’s because Jiao Siyu is only a supporting character, or because for other reasons that it was not mentioned. But one thing Lu Jueyu is sure of is that the possibility of Jiao Siyu suffering from cancer is very high.

When she read the novel, she had no sense of the life and death of the characters. She even feels refreshed every time the heroine or hero slaps them in the face or punishes them for their bad deeds. But after she crossed over, she can no longer treat them like before. Just thinking that Jiao Siyu might have cancer made her feel uncomfortable.

In this day and age, getting cancer is equal to a death sentence. Not to mention that this era is lagging behind in science and technology, even in modern times with rapid advances in technology and medical treatment, the mortality rate caused by cancer is still very high.

It took her some time to adjust her emotions and calm down. Looking at the bright sunshine above her head, she locked the door and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Li Chenmo has a set of spare keys. Even if she locks the door, he can open it when he comes back.

At the same time, in the production team office, Li Chenmo, Li Chenze, and Han Yuheng were waiting for the brigade secretary. In order to get the piglets, they need to notify the brigade and fill out a form before they can take the piglets back to be raised. After waiting for nearly half an hour, the brigade secretary finally entered the room.

Seeing him coming, they stood up and said, “Hello, Comrade.”

The brigade secretary came forward to shake hands with them, motioned them to sit down, and said, “Comrades, please have a seat.”

Li Chenmo was calm even when facing the brigade secretary, but Li Chenze was very nervous. This was the first time he met the leader. As for Han Yuheng, as one of the leaders of the production team, he once met with the brigade leaders. Therefore, he is still somewhat calm.

After sitting down, the brigade secretary looked at Li Chenmo and said with a smile, “I heard that a member from the 12th production team wants to raise four pigs. Is he this comrade?”

Han Yuheng nodded and said, “He is indeed the one.”

The brigade secretary nodded and said, “There is a serious shortage of meat now. It would be a good thing if more people could volunteer to raise pigs. I wonder if this comrade has any plans for how to raise the pigs?”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “My wife and I have read some books on pig raising methods, but we have never raised pigs. Therefore, we want to try this method and find better raising methods to increase the maximum size and weight of pigs.”

The brigade secretary was delighted after hearing what he said. For them, the most urgent thing now is to find better ways to improve their people’s living standards and the most basic method is to increase food production. If they could find a way to increase the weight of pigs, it would be a huge benefit to the public. Therefore, he strongly supports Li Chenmo’s idea.
