Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Li Chenmo’s Plan ( 2 )
“No. Thank you for letting us live in your house.” An educated youth said hoarsely.

“Mhmm, the room on the right is yours. Each room can accommodate two people. You can decide for yourself.” Li Chenmo added.

The four of them nodded and went to the room to change clothes. It snowed all the way, and their clothes were soaked wet. After they entered the room, Lu Jueyu walked into the living room with a big pot. Seeing this, Father Li took it and put it on the table. After that, he went to get the dumplings and tableware from the kitchen, while Lu Jueyu sat beside Li Chenmo.

Seeing only Li Chenmo and Father Li were in the living room, she asked, “Has the matter been resolved?”

Li Chenmo nodded, held her hand, and said, “Jueyu, after we get married, we won’t live with my father. After all, my family has separated, so we will live in the house at the foot of the mountain. It might be a bit far from the village.”

“Well, it’s the same everywhere for me. You can make the decision.” Lu Jueyu said casually.

Seeing that she really didn’t mind, Li Chenmo smiled and added probingly, “When we separated, I promised to give my father fifty yuan a month. Since I no longer work in the army, I plan to give my father 30% of the food we receive every year. I promise I will work hard and won’t let you suffer.”

“Brother Chenmo, I never work in the fields, so we probably won’t earn enough work points to exchange for food for a year. Will 30% be enough for your father?” Lu Jueyu asked.

She has no problem giving Father Li more food because her space can produce a lot of food every day. Even if Li Chenmo gave all the food they received to Father Li, they would not starve to death. But this secret, she has no way to tell him.

After hearing her words, Li Chenmo was delighted. Instead of being angry, she was even worried that his father would not have enough to eat. She was indeed a very kind, and understanding girl.

At this time, Father Li who was standing outside the living room could hear their conversations clearly. At first, he was worried that his third daughter-in-law would quarrel with his son regarding this matter. If that happens, he plans to reject his son’s offer. He has saved all the money sent by Li Chenmo over the years. He has nearly 5,000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money. So, even if they don’t give him food or money, he won’t say anything.

But unexpectedly, Lu Jueyu not only agreed with his son’s statement but also worried that he would not have enough to eat. As a father-in-law, he no longer has any demands on this daughter-in-law. Her care and good intentions were enough for him. Taking a deep breath and calming down, Father Li entered the living room and said, “Let’s eat first before it gets cold.”

Lu Jueyu quickly helped him get the tableware and filled the bowl with dumplings. She put the bowl in front of them and said, “Uncle Li, Brother Chenmo, try the dumplings. I made three kinds of stuffing, I don’t know if it suits your taste. ”

“En.”

Father Li and Li Chenmo scooped up the dumplings and tasted them. When they bit the dumplings, their eyes lit up, the soup was fragrant, oily but not greasy. As for the dumplings, the skin is thin and chewy, while the filling is tender, flavorful with a hint of sweetness, and very delicious.

While eating, Lu Jueyu found that the educated youths in the room were swallowing their saliva and kept looking at them. Seeing their chapped lips and pale faces, she said, “Brother Chenmo, I made a lot of dumplings, should we share some with them? Because they just arrived, so they may have nothing to eat.”

Li Chenmo glanced at the room and saw the four young men had been looking at them, looking really pitiful. He sighed and said, “Come and join us, everyone. My wife has already counted your share.”

Hearing him say ‘wife’ so calmly, Lu Jueyu was speechless. Was this person taking advantage of her just now?

Li Chenmo glanced at her, and asked with a smile, “Why don’t you eat?”

Lu Jueyu glared at him and said, “I’m not your wife yet.”

“You will be my wife in five days. It doesn’t make any difference whether I call you wife now or later,” he said with a low voice.

Lu Jueyu was taken aback by his words, so she could only pat his arm and whispered, “Rogue.”

Seeing her blushing, Li Chenmo gave a low laugh. He stopped teasing her and concentrated on eating. The educated youths sat around the table, watching the steaming dumpling soup as their stomachs growled.

Father Li came back from the kitchen, handed each of them a bowl, and said, “Eat at ease. Consider it a welcome meal for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Li. Thank you, Brother Li, sister-in-law.” They thanked them and filled their bowls with dumplings.

Perhaps because of the cold and hunger, the dumplings they ate tasted much better than those sold in state-run restaurants. So, they ate slowly while savoring the taste. Father Li gave them a large portion, four mixed vegetable dumplings, four cabbage dumplings, and two pork dumplings. Although not much, it can also fill their stomachs by 80%.

The atmosphere of the Li family is harmonious and warm, but that is not the case in the Lu family. After Mother Lu brought Xiao Yiqing and Pan Meijia to the room, the two of them were left to take care of themselves. When the Lu family ate their dinner, the two could only hold their stomachs and drink hot water to satisfy their hunger.

When Pan Meijia was arranging her clothes and putting them into the cabinet, she kept looking at the door. Smelling the aroma and watching them eating the delicious-looking dumplings one by one, she couldn’t help swallowing.
