Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chicken of The Woods Mushroom ( 2 )
“Second brother, please pay attention to your words. If my wife hears what you say, she may misunderstand and I might need to sleep on the floor tonight.” Li Chenmo said with a chuckle.

Li Lingyun was amused by his words, but Xiao Li was still surprised. He picked up a mushroom and smelled it. The taste is still so strange. Will it taste better when cooked?

Seeing his dubious attitude, Li Chenmo said, “Brother Xiao, how about you come to my house for a meal today? My wife can cook this mushroom. She can also show you how to handle it.”

When Li Lingyun heard this, he glanced at his third brother. Everyone said that his third brother was a henpecked husband. But he can easily make decisions for his wife. It seemed that those people were wrong about the relationship between his third brother and his third sister-in-law.

Hearing his words, Xiao Li was overjoyed. Although Li Chenmo said that Lu Jueyu could cook mushrooms, he was certain that her skills must be very good. If she said she was second, no one would dare to say she was the best in Xie village. So, Xiao Li agreed without hesitation, “Thank you, brother Chenmo.”

After making an agreement, the three of them walked to Li Chenmo’s home. When he entered the house, they saw Lu Jueyu was picking peaches.

Seeing her husband, she smiled and said, “Husband, you are back. I will make peach and blueberry pie for you in a while.”

Li Chenmo walked to his wife, took the bamboo basket from her hand and said, “Mhmm. Let me help you pick peaches.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Li was stunned when he saw how Li Chenmo acted so intimate with his wife as if he and Li Lingyun were invisible.

Knowing what he was thinking, Li Lingyun patted him on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go in. As long as my third sister-in-law is around, my third brother will treat everyone as if they are air. We’d better wait for them inside.”

After saying that, he walked to the living room just like he was in his own house. Not knowing what to do, Xiao Li could only follow him. In the living room, Li Lingyun poured them tea and took out snacks from the cabinet.

Since returning to the Li family, he often visits his brothers and is already familiar with their house. He knew where they kept their food and drinks, and he never acted politely with them. He ate and drank as if he were at his own home.

Although it may seem rude to others, Li Chenze and Li Chenmo are still very satisfied with Li Lingyun’s attitude towards them. They feel that this way, their relationship will be closer. When they went to Li Lingyun’s house, they also did the same and regarded it as their own home. Sending food and drinks to each other has become the norm in their family.

While they were enjoying the snacks and drinks in the living room, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu were chatting while picking peaches.

“Husband, do you like peaches and blueberry pie? Or do you prefer peaches bun more?”

Hearing his wife’s question, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “I like everything you made.”

Lu Jueyu was used to his answer and said, “Then, I’ll make both for you. I’ll make some melon buns for you too.”

“Mhmm.”

After a while, Li Chenmo said, “Wife, Xiao Li picked some chicken of the wood mushroom but didn’t know how to cook it. I told him you can cook it and invited him to stay for a meal.”

After speaking, he looked at his wife. Seeing that she agreed readily, he smiled.

Lu Jueyu didn’t know what her husband was thinking and said, “Okay. I can also teach him how to do it. Since we have already had dinner, I will prepare some side dishes to go with the fruit wine. You can have some wine with your second brother and Brother Xiao later.”

Li Chenmo felt happy when he heard his wife’s words. He looked towards the living room and saw his second brother and Xiao Li eating snacks and chatting. He leaned over and kissed his wife on the lips and said, “Thank you, wife.”

Suddenly being kissed, Lu Jueyu looked at the living room with a blushing face and said, “What are you doing? Your brother is here, what if he saw us?”

Li Chenmo smiled teasingly and said, “I just kissed you gently, your lips are not swollen. What are you worrying about? They won’t notice.”

Lu Jueyu was speechless by her husband’s shameless words and could only stare at him. She pushed him gently and said, “You go and accompany your brother. I’ll go to the kitchen.”

“Alright.”

After stealing another kiss, Li Chenmo walked to the living room in a good mood, while Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen with hastened steps. She took the peaches to the kitchen and put them in her own space, leaving only some for making pies and buns later.

Not long after, Xiao Li came over with his bamboo basket. He stood outside the kitchen and said, “Sister-in-law, I brought the mushrooms.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu came out and said, “Brother Xiao, I will teach you how to prepare.”

Xiao Li nodded and said, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

To avoid arousing suspicion, the two sat facing each other on a low stool with a large wash basin in the middle. Lu Jueyu poured the mushrooms into the basin, then took a clean cloth and began to gently brush away the debris and dirt on the mushrooms.

When Xiao Li saw that she didn’t wash the mushrooms with water, he asked, “Sister-in-law, why don’t you wash them with water?”

Hearing his question, Lu Jueyu said, “This kind of mushroom absorbs moisture very quickly. If we wash it with water, its texture may be affected.”

This was the first time Xiao Li heard such things and nodded.
