Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Shameful
“Jueyu, if you need help, you must tell us. Don’t tire yourself.” Lu Han said.

“Elder brother, thank you, but there is no need to trouble you and our family. The Li family’s relatives are all helping, so we have enough manpower.” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

Wang Muxiao looked around and suddenly asked, “Jueyu, why don’t I see your second brother-in-law? His wife passed away and he hasn’t come back yet?”

Everyone was stunned when they heard her question. This kind of question is not suitable to be asked directly. As the husband of the deceased, Li Chenxuan was not present. This situation is absolutely outrageous and can be said to be a shameful thing. Wang Muxiao might offend Li Chenmo as she asked this in front of him.

Mother Lu was worried that her son-in-law would be angry, so she looked at Wang Muxiao and said, “If you don’t speak, others will not think you are mute.”

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Wang Muxiao realized that something was wrong with her words and quickly said, “Brother-in-law, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for talking nonsense without thinking.”

In fact, Li Chenmo didn’t feel offended at all. For him, it is normal for others to talk about his second brother. After all, even he himself felt that his second brother’s behavior was outrageous. But he couldn’t criticize his brother openly, so he could only say, “Second sister-in-law, I don’t blame you.”

Lu Jueyu knew what her husband was thinking, but she also understood what her family was worried about. In order to lighten the atmosphere, she said, “Husband, can you help me take out the steamed buns from the kitchen?”

“Alright.”

After he left, Lu Cheng finally couldn’t hold it anymore and asked, “Wife, why do you seem to become more stupid every time you get pregnant? You must think twice before speaking, otherwise, you may offend everyone unknowingly.”

Wang Muxiao was irritated by her husband’s words. She pinched his thigh and asked, “Am I not pregnant with your child? How dare you look down on me and call me stupid?”

Being pinched by his wife on his thigh, Lu Cheng hissed, “Hisss… Wife, be gentle. You will peel off my skin if you pinch me like this.”

Seeing her husband’s pain, Wang Muxiao stopped pinching him and snorted, “Let’s see if you still dare to look down on me. I’m going to pinch your skin off!”

Lu Cheng rubbed his thigh and murmured in a low voice, “If I lose a layer of skin, wouldn’t you be the one who feels the most heartache?”

Wang Muxiao squinted her eyes and asked, “What did you say?”

Lu Cheng’s survival instinct kicked in immediately, and he said, “Wife, I say you are so beautiful.”

Wang Muxiao rolled her eyes at him and snorted. Seeing the second branch behave like this in public, the Lu family shook their heads helplessly. No matter how much Mother Lu scolds them, they will never change.

Lu Jueyu was amused by them and chuckled. She found that there were more guests, so she said, “Father, Mother, I need to go help my sister-in-law, and I can’t accompany you for the time being.”

Father Lu nodded and said, “It’s alright, you can go and do your business.”

After a brief conversation with her family, Lu Jueyu returned to the kitchen and was too busy to leave the kitchen for the whole night. Although Pan Meijia, Ling Yun, and relatives of the Li family are all helping, they can only rest near midnight.

Generally, the person who must keep vigil is the descendant or husband of the deceased. But since Jiao Siyu had no children and her husband was missing, the first person to watch the night was Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu.

While they were busy organizing the funeral, Li Chenxuan finally arrived in the capital after a 30-hour journey. Standing in front of the government office building, he held Professor Zhang’s recommendation letter tightly.

After making sure he had all the necessary documents with him, he entered the building and went to the counter to get his queue number. Unlike in the county where you can go to one department for everything, in the capital you need to go to a specific department.

Because he came late, he had to wait for several hours before it was his turn and felt irritated. When he thought about how much money he could get, the annoyance of waiting for a long time suddenly eased a little.

He stood in front of the counter and said, “Hello, comrade. I’m here to apply for the donation program.”

The officer heard his purpose and looked at him with displeasure. The donation program has just been established, and many people have already come to get money. While this gave the government a good reputation, it also cost them a lot of money.

Due to political instability in the capital, corruption is common. Unless the person coming has a recommendation letter from a big shot, officials will give them up to 50% of the donations allocated to them and embellish the rest.

“Did you bring the recommendation letter?” The officer asked.

Li Chenxuan felt happy and quickly handed the letter over and said, “Yes. This is Professor Zhang’s recommendation letter.”

When the police officer heard Professor Zhang’s name, he paused, quickly tore off the envelope, and read the name signed at the bottom of the letter. When he confirmed that the person who signed the letter was indeed the person he had in mind, the way he looked at Li Chenxuan suddenly changed.

As one of the top government officials and a famous doctor, many of Professor Zhang’s students hold important positions in the government. If he can personally recommend this person, this person must have some connection with him.

After coming to a conclusion, the officer stood up and said with a smile, “Comrade, please wait a moment, I will handle the procedures as fast as possible.”

“Thank you, comrade.” Li Chenxuan said with a smile.
