Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Dong Huang ( 2 )
Thinking of Dong Huang’s thin and malnourished body, Lu Jueyu scooped a bowl of rice from the steamer, and then took out a bowl of herbal chicken soup and a grilled fish from her own space. In addition, she also boiled a cup of fresh milk on the brazier. Although the nutritional content of milk powder and fresh milk in her space is similar, fresh milk tastes better.

Unfortunately, she is unable to provide fresh milk to her family as fresh milk is currently only available in the cities and capital and has not yet reached the county town, not to mention villages. After the milk boiled, she removed the pot from the brazier and poured the milk into the bamboo cup. She added a spoonful of honey and stirred it well.

The meal was ready and she brought it to the living room on a bamboo tray. As soon as he entered the room, Lu Jueyu saw Dong Huang drinking warm water as if she was drinking a delicious drink. She felt a pang of heartache for the little girl.

She put the food on the table and said gently, “Drink the soup before eating, otherwise your stomach will hurt.”

Seeing the food in front of her, Dong Huang opened her eyes in surprise. There was not only a bowl of fragrant white rice, but also chicken soup, grilled fish, and even a glass of milk!

Although her saliva had already flowed inside her mouth, Dong Huang still swallowed it and asked, “Aunt Li, can I pack the food instead?”

Lu Jueyu was startled by her words. There must be a reason why she wants to eat later even though she is very hungry.

She sat down next to Dong Huang and asked, “Why? The food won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Dong Huang licked her lips and said, “I want to share it with my brother. My brother hasn’t eaten since yesterday, and he has to go to work in the fields. He must be hungry.”

“Don’t your parents let your brother eat?” Lu Jueyu asked in surprise.

When Dong Huang heard her question, the light in her eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and said, “My brother said that my parents have gone to a faraway place and will not come back.”

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu understood that her parents had passed away and she felt uncomfortable saying those words that hurt her.

“Dong Huang, I’m sorry.”

“Aunt Li, it’s okay. I’m used to it.” Dong Huang said with a smile.

When Lu Jueyu saw her smile, her nose felt sore. Although she can’t save every orphan in the world, she still has the ability to help Dong Huang and her brother. What’s more, she has a space with unlimited resources. Feeding them three meals a day is no problem at all.

After thinking about it, she said, “Dong Huang, your brother has his share. You should eat the food while it’s still hot.”

Dong Huang was delighted when she heard her words and said, “Thank you, Aunt Li!”

Then she picked up the spoon and started eating. Seeing that she was eating with relish, Lu Jueyu said, “Eat slowly.”

Watching her eat, Lu Jueyu picked out the fish bones and put the fish meat into her bowl. When she was eating, Dong Huang would smile at her from time to time. Although Dong Huang was petite, she still finished the food and drank all the milk and soup without leaving a drop.

Putting the cup on the table, she smacked her lips as she reminisced about the taste, and said, “Aunt Li, let me help you wash the dishes.”

Lu Jueyu did not refuse her offer and cleared the table. She poured hot water into the basin before letting her wash the dishes. While Dong Huang was busy washing the dishes, she went to the kitchen and wrapped the remaining rice in banana leaves and tied it with thin hemp rope.

Then, she took out a roasted chicken from the space, cut it into small pieces, and wrapped it in banana leaves. She also took out herbal chicken soup and milk, which she stored in bamboo tubes. In addition, she also gave them a few meat buns. She put everything into the bamboo basket and left the kitchen.

When she came out, Dong Huang had finished washing the dishes and was waiting for her. Seeing that Lu Jueyu had indeed prepared meals for her brother, she bowed to her and said, “Thank you, Aunt Li. If you need us to send more firewood, just tell my brother.”

Lu Jueyu handed her the bamboo basket and said, “Alright, walk slowly and be careful on the road.”

Dong Huang took the basket and smiled even more happily when she felt how heavy it was. “Aunt Li, don’t worry. I’ll take my leave now.”

After saying this, she quickened her pace and walked towards the door. Lu Jueyu followed her to see her off, then locked the door and continued collecting lettuce.

In the central area, Ling Yun frowned and looked at Pan Meijia, who was talking to a young postman. It had been three days since the last time he talked to her at Li Chenxuan’s house. He thought that by pretending to distance himself from her, she would realize her feelings for him and they could move forward into a relationship.

But after waiting for several days, instead of showing any intention of getting close to him, she even got close to another man. Considering her feelings for the military man and himself, his girl didn’t seem to understand the difference between a romantic relationship and a normal friendship.

Seeing her smiling at that man, Ling Yun felt sour and decided not to listen to Xiao Li’s advice. He was too stupid to believe that Xiao Li, who had never chased a girl, could give him good advice on chasing a wife. It would be better to attack his girl directly.
