Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Seeing Is Believing
In modern times, men like Han Yuluo would be called “Sea King” and “Scumbag”. Although he has no feelings for girls, he enjoys their affection and attention. He keeps hanging the girl without giving her a direct answer or proper status. With so many girls pursuing him, he felt his vanity was being satisfied.

Just before she looked away, Han Yuluo raised his head, and the two looked at each other. In an instant, he stood up in panic as if his wife had caught him red-handed. Lu Jueyu was speechless by his dramatic actions. She walked away, ignoring the looks everyone was giving her.

“Jueyu, wait…” Before he could finish his words, he saw that she had walked away without hesitation.

The villagers looked at each other with understanding expressions. It seems that even after marrying Li Chenmo, Lu Jueyu is still entangled with other men.

Lu Jueyu didn’t know that because of Han Yuluo’s one-man show, rumors that she was still in a relationship with him had spread. Some even said that she got jealous when she saw him with another girl, so she left angrily.

When Lu Jueyu finally found Li Chenmo, the sun had already risen above their heads. Everyone else had already finished their lunch, and she had just arrived, so people thought she was lazy.

Lu Jueyu didn’t care what others thought of her. She waved her hand to her husband and said with a smile, “Husband, take a break and have lunch first.”

Seeing his wife coming, Li Chenmo showed a smile on his face. He nodded to her and pointed at the tree while wiping his sweat. Lu Jueyu walked to the tree and took out a piece of cloth from the basket. She spread the cloth on the floor and took the food out of the basket.

The villagers craned their necks to see what food she had brought. When they saw a basket of steamed buns and a plate of pickled vegetables, they lost interest and continued working. Although the steamed buns are made with white flour, it is not unusual.

It seems that what their wife and daughter said about Li Chenmo’s family eating meat every day is a rumor. Women do like to gossip and talk nonsense. After returning, they need to be warned not to spread rumors. If they are reported, it will be troublesome.

When Li Chenmo walked over after washing his face, hands, and feet, he saw that the food was ready. He sat next to his wife, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked, “Wife, have you been walking for a long time?”

“Not long. I couldn’t find you so I walked around for a while.” Lu Jueyu shook her head.

‘It’s not long, just over an hour.’ she added in her heart.

Lu Jueyu handed over a bamboo tube to Li Chenmo and said, “Husband, have some soup.”

Li Chenmo was surprised by her words. He thought there was water in the bamboo tube. When he opened the lid, the aroma of chicken soup hit his nostrils. He took a sip and felt refreshed. After drinking the soup, he picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. The buns are soft and the meat filling is full of flavor. He finished the steamed bun in a few mouthfuls and took another one.

He was eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables with relish. The pickled vegetables are crispy and have just the right amount of sourness. The sour taste of the pickled vegetables washed away the greasiness of the meat.

Lu Jueyu suddenly remembered the man he saw this morning and said, “Husband, the empty house near our home now has an owner.”

Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and asked, “Wife, how do you know?”

“This morning I saw a man coming with the team leader. They also moved the man’s belongings into the house. It seems we have a new neighbor.” Lu Jueyu said.

“Mhmm.” Li Chenmo nodded.

Seeing that her husband was not interested in the new neighbor, Lu Jueyu said, “Since we have become neighbors, should we visit him and find out about his situation? If he is already married, I can make friends with his wife.”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “No need. As a new neighbor, he should be the one to visit others.”

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “Well, it doesn’t matter who visits whom first. Husband, we’ll go visit him later and see if there’s anything we can do to help him.”

Li Chenmo glanced at his wife and nodded. He knew it wasn’t a bad thing to get to know his neighbor’s personality and situation. If their neighbors are good people, there’s nothing wrong with making friends with them. If they are bad people, they will just keep their distance from them. This is better than knowing nothing about their neighbors.

Lu Jueyu was full after eating two steamed buns. She filled the thermos with warm water for her husband. Li Chenmo ate six steamed buns and drank the chicken soup before he was finally full.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Lu Jueyu put the remaining food into the bamboo basket and said, “Husband, I’m going back first.”

“Mhmm. Be careful on the road.” Li Chenmo said and patted her head.

Everyone was stunned when they saw their interaction. They believed that, as a married couple, their relationship would be cold and distant. They will respect each other, but there will be no affection between them because Li Chenmo was trapped by Lu Jueyu in this marriage. But when they see them, they can tell how much they cherish each other. Indeed, seeing is believing. They shouldn’t believe those rumors.

After Lu Jueyu left, Li Chenmo continued to work. A villager who has a good relationship with Father Li said, “Chenmo, you are blessed. Your wife cares about you very much.”

Li Chenmo looked at the villagers and smiled with satisfaction, “Thank you, uncle. I am really lucky to be able to marry her.”
