Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 238

Chapter 238: The Puzzled Lu Jueyu
“I just finished my work.” Li Chenmo said while helping his wife untie the bamboo basket.

After they covered the ground with a piece of cloth, Lu Jueyu handed the chicken soup to Li Chenmo and said, “Husband, I made herbal chicken soup today. Drink it first.”

Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows when he heard her words. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes. His wife is probably still jealous about that matter. That’s why she is making chicken soup today.

Not knowing that her husband thought she wanted to use chicken soup to beat Su Anna’s fish soup, Lu Jueyu handed her husband a pair of chopsticks and said, “For snacks this afternoon, I made some beef empanadas and soy milk. You have worked hard these days, so you should eat more.”

“Mhmm.” Li Chenmo raised the corner of his mouth and nodded. He looked at his wife and thought that she was cute even when she was jealous.

Lu Jueyu was drinking chicken soup and found her husband looking at her with knowing eyes, feeling puzzled.

She took a bite of her steamed bun and thought, ‘Does he like herbal chicken soup so much?’

She curiously took a sip of the chicken soup and found that it tasted the same as usual. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Finally, she stopped guessing and started eating with peace of mind. If her husband likes chicken soup, she will make more.

In the east area, Father Li was having lunch with Father Lu and Mother Lu. As in-laws, it is normal to eat together. What’s more, the Li family and the Lu family have been friends for generations.

When the villagers saw that they were eating coarse grain pancakes, one of them said, “Everyone says that Old Li’s third son is the most filial. But look at what he is eating and compare with what his third son is eating.”

The people sitting next to him turned to look in the direction of Father Li and said, “Isn’t it normal for him to eat coarse-grain pancakes?”

“It’s indeed normal, but when the son eats white flour steamed buns, how can the father eat coarse grain pancakes? He raised his son in vain!” The villager shook his head and said. There was a hint of gloating in his voice, but no one cared.

“I think it doesn’t matter whether his son eats white steamed buns or not. It has nothing to do with him. After all, they have separated their household registrations. At that time, he didn’t even give his third son money while his third son still needed to give him money every month. So if his third son treats him like this now, it’s understandable.” A middle-aged woman said.

“Although he didn’t receive any money during the separation, before the wedding, he got a courtyard house on the top of the hill. He just didn’t care about his father. I said Li Chenmo went too far. As a son, he still has to take care of his parents even after they separate the household.” Another woman said.

“That’s right. Old Li is so pitiful. His eldest son is too honest and gives all his money and food to his wife, so he can’t give Old Li more money or food even if he wants to. His third son is also the same as his eldest son. As for his second son, it’s best not to come back. He had a big quarrel with Old Li when he came yesterday.” An old man sighed.

He lived next door to Father Li’s house, and he heard clearly when Li Chenxuan quarreled with Father Li. Every word Li Chenxuan said was sharp and full of blame. He actually admired Father Li’s patience with his second son. If Li Chenxuan was his son, he would have disowned him long ago.

“Speaking of Old Li’s second son, I heard that he had an affair with a married woman in the town and was caught by the woman’s husband. In order not to go to jail, he gave the woman’s husband 300 yuan even after he was beaten until he got a bruised nose and a swollen face.” A woman whispered.

“That’s old news. My cousin who works in the same factory as Li Chenxuan said that no one knew he was married and thought Jiao Siyu was his sister, not his wife. He was pursuing the factory manager’s daughter, and it seemed that he might be able to get the girl,” a man said casually while eating.

“Is what you said true?” the villagers were surprised by the news.

“This should be true. When I went to visit my cousin, I saw him several times with a beautiful young girl.” The man said after a while.

The villagers looked at each other in disbelief. If Li Chenxuan had at least half the looks and figures of his brothers, it would be understandable that he was able to pursue a young and beautiful rich girl. But with his appearance and figure, they didn’t know how he did it. In this regard, they must admit that Li Chenxuan does have the ability to coax girls better than his brothers.

After getting the freshest gossip, everyone quickly finished their lunch and took a nap. They will share this gossip with their families after they get back from work today.

After the lunch break ended, Lu Jueyu packed the three-layered bamboo basket and asked, “Husband, what would you like for dinner?”

Li Chenmo secured the bamboo basket to the bicycle’s back seat and replied after a moment of thought, “Wife, the roasted chicken you made last time was delicious.”

Hearing her husband’s choice, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Then, let’s have roast chicken for dinner.”

“Alright. Ride slowly and be careful on the road,” Li Chenmo said while patting her head gently.

“En, you should also take care while working,” she responded.
