Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Funeral ( 2)
After thinking for a long time, Father Li finally nodded and sighed, “Then let’s follow everyone’s suggestions.”

After hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. While the body had not decayed yet, they should have buried it. After reaching an agreement, everyone acted quickly and notified the production team leaders and the elderly in the village.

After receiving the brigade’s approval, villagers volunteered to carry the coffin. The cemetery is located in a desolate area on a mountain. The villagers were worried about wild animals, so they carried some weapons with them.

This was the first time for Lu Jueyu to come to this side of the mountain because the other side of the mountain was far away from the village. This time, Li Chenmo did not help carry the coffin but focused on taking care of his wife. Due to the difficult terrain, no women except family members participated in the procession.

As they walked, Li Chenmo held Lu Jueyu’s hand tightly and said, “Wife, be careful. Just hold onto me and walk slowly.”

“En.” Lu Jueyu nodded and held her husband’s arm obediently.

The villagers didn’t say anything when they saw them behaving intimately. After all, it is impossible for a woman to cross the mountain without the support of her husband.

It took them more than two hours to finally reach the cemetery. When Lu Jueyu saw the grassland in front of her, she was stunned. The cemetery is located at a higher altitude, but the wind is not strong and the flowers and plants are dense. From here you can clearly see the blue sky and Xie Village.

Although it is beautiful here, no one dares to walk around carelessly because this is the resting place of their ancestors. They walked in silence and with great respect.

When they arrived at the Li family ancestors’ burial site, they placed two benches on the ground and placed the coffin on them. Then people started digging. Jiao Siyu was placed at the outer layer as the daughter-in-law. There is an empty space next to her, which is reserved for Li Chenxuan.

Seeing his wife looking at the grave with great interest, Li Chenmo came closer and whispered, “Wife, we also have a place here. After we die, we will be buried together.”

Lu Jueyu was surprised to find that there was also a place for her and her husband here, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What if I die first and you marry again? Will you be buried with me or with your second wife?”

When Li Chenmo heard his wife’s words, his face darkened and he said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I will only marry you as my wife in this life, and you will not die.”

Lu Jueyu was stunned and said, “Husband, everyone is mortal, including me. We will die one day.”

Li Chenmo was silent for a moment and said, “Then you won’t die alone. The moment you die, I will follow you. Even if we are not born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, we will die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening thunderclap, and everyone was startled. Lu Jueyu was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. Did God take what her husband just said as an oath?

Looking up and seeing the blue sky, she felt chills running down her spine. How could there be such a loud thunder in such a clear sky?

Because of the sudden thunder, the villagers were frightened and sped up their actions. In less than an hour, they completed the burial and left the cemetery. Although it took them more than two hours to reach the cemetery, it only took an hour to get back to the village.

When everyone arrived at the entrance of Xie village, Father Li said, “Thank you for your help today. We will prepare a meal to thank you. Please come over later.”

Everyone nodded, and after chatting for a while, they went home. The meals will be served at Li Chenxuan’s home because they can be used to wash away bad luck. At the same time, the Li family also wants to thank everyone for their help at the funeral.

Before leaving, Father Li looked at Zhang Dongmei and Lu Jueyu and said, “You have worked hard, but please persist a little longer.”

Zhang Dongmei understood what Father Li meant and said, “Father, don’t worry. I have already notified the neighbors and they will come over to help us prepare meals.”

” Then I’ll leave this matter to you and Jueyu.”

After speaking, Father Li handed some money and coupons to Li Chenze and said, “Eldest son, go buy more meat and grain. We should provide at least one meat dish.”

Seeing this, Lu Jueyu said, “Father, if we go to buy ingredients now, we won’t have time to cook. How about we use the ingredients I have here first?”

Zhang Dongmei calculated the time and added, “Third sister-in-law is right. We only have a few hours to prepare five tables of food. If we buy ingredients now, it will be too late.”

After thinking for a while, Father Li finally nodded and said, “Then let’s use your materials first.”

“Third brother, take these. Tomorrow you go buy meat and food to pay for the materials we use today.” Li Chenze handed over the money and coupons.

Li Chenmo didn’t say anything more and accepted the money and coupons. They will treat it as payment for raw materials.

When Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu went to their house to get ingredients, Father Li, Li Chenze, and Zhang Dongmei went to Li Chenxuan’s house to clean up the room and dismantle the mourning hall.

At the same time, Li Chenxuan stood at the door, looking at the mourning hall with wide eyes and the names written on the wooden table. He staggered to the wooden tablet and muttered, “Impossible, how could this happen? Didn’t the doctor say she still has time?”
