Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Li Chenxuan’s Visit ( 1 )
Lu Jueyu stood at the door until she could no longer see her husband’s back, then returned to the house. She washed the dishes first, then went to the chicken coop to get eggs and refilled the feeder and water. Later, she carried another bucket of water to water the vegetable garden and peach tree and sweep the yards.

It took her an hour to finish the house chores. Since it was still early, she went to the backyard, got a bamboo basket, and left the house after locking the door. After going up the mountain last time, she found that mushrooms and wild fruits were growing thrivingly. She might get more mushrooms today.

When she reached the mountain foothills, she met several children picking up pigweeds on the side of the road. When they saw her heading towards the mountain, one of them shouted, “Sister, don’t go up the mountain. The team leader said there are wild boars there and it’s dangerous for us to go there.”

When Lu Jueyu heard his words, she stopped her steps. She turned around, pointed in one direction, and said with a smile, “Thank you for reminding me. I will only go there.”

The children looked at her without saying anything and continued to collect the pigweed. Only the boy who reminded her just now stood motionless while looking at her back thoughtfully. After hesitating for a while, he looked at his sister and said, “Xiao Huang, wait here. Brother will follow that sister to see where she was going. ”

Dong Huang grabbed her brother’s sleeve tightly and shook her head.

Dong Li looked at her sister and then at Lu Jueyu’s back. Seeing that she had gone so far, he thought for a moment, took his sister’s hand, and followed Lu Jueyu. He wondered where she had gotten so much pigweed last time.

If he could find out where she got the pigweed, he and his sister wouldn’t have to compete with the other kids. They may be able to earn more work points. With such hope, he and his sister followed Lu Jueyu.

Not knowing that there were two little tails behind her, Lu Jueyu walked towards the mountain while humming a song. When she sees a few clusters of mushrooms, she stops to pick them.

Dong Li and Dong Huang saw her picking those weird plants and looked at each other. They didn’t know why she collected those ugly-looking plants. After following her for a while, Dong Li discovered that she had not collected any pigweed at all.

Feeling a little disappointed, he took his sister’s hand and said, “Let’s go back. There is no pigweed here. We should go back, otherwise, we won’t get any pigweed today.”

Dong Huang nodded, and the two of them walked back to the village.

After the two left, Lu Jueyu turned around and looked at their backs with a smile. When no one was following her, she walked up the mountain, looking for more staple food, medicinal plants, mushrooms, and wild fruits.

Along the way, she also picked up firewood and placed it in her own space. Although there was still a lot of firewood left in her woodshed, she and her husband used a lot of firewood. So, it’s best to collect more.

Meanwhile, in the county town, Li Chenxuan informed the nurse about Mother Jiao’s visit and left the hospital. Today he planned to tell his father about Mother Jiao’s request and ask his family to bear the food expenses. It would be better if he also gets a share of the food.

Since he returned to the village by walking, it took him three hours to finally reach Xie village. As soon as he entered the village, the villagers looked at him with curious eyes. Seeing the villagers, Li Chenxuan smiled at them and greeted them warmly.

As everyone knows, Jiao Siyu was hospitalized recently, and her condition was not looking good at all. So when they saw him smiling while greeting the villagers warmly, they were stunned.

Some villagers thought that maybe Jiao Siyu’s illness was not as dangerous as they had heard because her husband did not look sad or worried at all. Other villagers believed that Li Chenxuan was indeed a scumbag. Not only does he always leech off his family even after separating the household, but he also does not feel worried or distressed by his wife’s condition. This proves that he is a cold-blooded and selfish person.

But no matter what the villagers thought, they had no intention of providing any help. They are curious and like to gossip about other people’s family affairs, but they will never interfere. What if they get pulled into muddy water? It will be them who suffer. So, it’s better not to ask too many questions about this kind of matter.

Not knowing what the villagers thought of him, Li Chenxuan came to the central area. Since he didn’t know where Father Li was assigned this year, he needed to ask the villagers. He looked around and saw a man drinking water by a tree.

Although he felt that man seemed familiar, he didn’t think much about it. After all, most of them grew up together in this village, so it’s normal to meet someone he doesn’t know but who looks familiar.

Li Chenxuan walked up to the man and said, “Hello, comrade. Do you know which area the Li family is assigned to?”

Ling Yun stopped drinking, wiped his sweat, and asked, “Which Li family member?”

“It’s Father Li.” Li Chenxuan said with a slight smile.

Ling Yun looked at him with raised eyebrows. Although Li Chenxuan smiled politely, there was unconcealed disdain in his eyes. Regardless of what the stranger thought of him, he didn’t care and said, “Uncle Li was assigned to the east area.”

After pointing out the direction, he put down the water bottle and went to the field to continue working. He didn’t wait for Li Chenxuan’s reaction at all.
