Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Life Worse Than Death
Li Chenxuan sneered in his heart when he heard her words. She actually wants to have two meals a day paid for by him. What a big appetite! Did she think that his money fell from the sky?

Although he was irritated by Mother Jiao’s words, he still showed a relieved expression and said, “Then I’ll ask my family. Mother, please come over tomorrow. I can only take leave today, and I have to go back to work tomorrow.”

Mother Jiao didn’t hear his assurance and still had doubts. But when she thought that the Li family were honest farmers, she was convinced that they would not dare to ignore her request or lie to her. If they dared to lie to her, she would go to their house and make a scene. See if they still have faces left!

Now that they had an agreement, Mother Jiao didn’t want to talk nonsense to her poor son-in-law anymore, and said, “Since I agreed to your request, you can go back to the hospital. Don’t leave Siyu there alone.”

Li Chenxuan stood up and said, “Then I’ll take my leave now, Mother. See you tomorrow.”

Mother Jiao just waved her hand, not even sending him to the door.

After Li Chenxuan left Jiao’s house, he went to a state-owned restaurant for a meal before returning to the hospital. As soon as he entered Jiao Siyu’s ward, he saw a nurse sitting on a chair beside the bed writing something.

When the nurse heard the footsteps, she raised her head and looked at Li Chenxuan with displeasure. She stood up from her chair and asked, “Comrade, are you Jiao Siyu’s family member?”

Li Chenxuan didn’t know what happened during his absence, so he nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Comrade, are you aware that a member of your family is in a critical condition? How could you leave her alone? The patient’s condition is unstable and she cannot be left unattended. If you need to leave her alone, you must notify the nursing staff. Fortunately, I came to check on the patient, otherwise, she might be dead by the time you come back!” The nurse was very angry and said with a sharp and rude tone.

After hearing her words, Li Chenxuan’s face darkened. But before he could offer any excuses, the nurse added. “Now that you are here, you should stay with the patient. We have prescribed some medicine to the patient to keep her condition stable. Don’t leave the patient alone anymore, otherwise, the consequences will be serious.”

After leaving these words, the nurse left the ward without even looking at him. Being scolded by the nurse made Li Chenxuan’s mood plummet. His face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

He stood by the bed, looked at Jiao Siyu coldly, and said, “Since you are already like this, why bother struggling? The sooner you die, the better for everyone.”

After saying this, he walked to the chair to rest. Unexpectedly, after he turned around, a teardrop slipped from the corner of Jiao Siyu’s eye.

Although she was in a coma, Jiao Siyu could still hear the sounds around her. She always thought that she and her husband were in love. So, when she heard his words, she was shocked, angry, disappointed, and scared. But, in her current state, there was nothing she could do. Lying in the hospital bed, she felt that life was worse than death. Perhaps it would be better to die than to continue living in torture.

At the same time, in Xie village, after she finished brewing wine. and made a lot of snacks, meat sauce, and pastries, Lu Jueyu left her space. When she came out of her own space, it was already past three in the afternoon.

She went to check the vegetable garden. With the mulch covering the soil, the water is absorbed well and she does not need frequent watering. Since there was still time before making dinner, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out a small bamboo basket from the cabinet.

She took a bowl and filled it with some wild berries from her space. She also packed some milk candies and put them in a bamboo basket. After that, she locked the door and went to Aunt Li’s house.

After walking for more than ten minutes, she arrived at Aunt Li’s house. Seeing the door to the front yard was open, she knocked on the door and said, “Hello, is anyone home?”

She stood outside the house and waited for a while before a young girl came out carrying Aunt Li’s grandson on her back.

Seeing an unfamiliar face, the girl timidly asked, “Hello, sister. Are you looking for someone?”

Lu Jueyu looked at the girl and smiled, “I am Lu Jueyu who lives in the house on the top of the hill. I am here to give this to your grandma.”

The girl looked at the bamboo basket and saw fresh berries and milk candies inside. Her eyes lit up, but she still hesitated to accept it because she didn’t know Lu Jueyu.

But unlike her, Aunt Li’s grandson has met her several times and is very familiar with her. Seeing that his sister still refused to accept the gift, he stretched out his little hand and said, “Aunt Lu, hug.”

Lu Jueyu smiled, patted his head, and said, “Shitou, are you behaving well at home?”

“Yes, yes!” Shitou nodded and said in a milky voice.

Seeing that her brother was familiar with the guest, the girl asked shyly, “Auntie, are you the one who saved my brother?”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “I just gave Shitou some remaining medicine. It’s a small thing.”

When the girl heard this, she quickly stepped aside and said, “Auntie, thank you for saving my brother. Please come in. You can call me Daniu.”

“I won’t be coming in since I need to return and prepare dinner. This is a small gift. Share it with your family. Tell your grandma that I will visit her next time and thank her properly.” Lu Jueyu said as she handed over the bamboo basket.

Daniu took the bamboo basket and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”
