Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Dinner Invitation
Lu Jueyu knew that Aunt Li did not mean any harm when she said this, so she did not feel offended with her careless words. After the two sat down in the living room, she poured them a cup of water and asked, “Aunt Li, what brings you here today?”

Hearing her question, Aunt Li put the bamboo basket she brought on the table and said, “My son is back for the holidays and he also brought some snacks. I know it’s not much, but this is a heartfelt gift from me. Please accept it.”

Lu Jueyu took the gift and smiled, “Thank you, Aunt Li. I have always wanted to treat you and your family to a meal, but I have been putting it off until now. How about having dinner at my place today? My second brother-in-law sent some meat this morning that is very suitable for braised pork.”

Aunt Li originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as Shitou heard that there was meat to eat, he clasped his hands together and said, “Grandma, meat! Shitou wants meat!”

After hearing her grandson’s words, Aunt Li was a little embarrassed and looked at Lu Jueyu awkwardly, “Then I will inform my son and my daughter-in-law. Thank you for inviting us, Jueyu.”

Lu Jueyu smiled after hearing her words and said, “Aunt Li, you have helped my family before, so it is natural for me to treat you to dinner. We are neighbors.”

Aunt Li was relieved when she saw that Lu Jueyu still treated her as usual after listening to her grandson’s words. After chatting for a while, she left and returned to her home with a smile. When her son saw her coming back, he asked, “Mother, why are you back so soon?”

“Jueyu invited us to dinner tonight, and she said thank you for the gift.” Aunt Li said after sitting down.

Hearing what his mother said, Li Sang was stunned for a moment and said, “Mother, do we need to bring anything later? It would be bad if we visit empty-handed.”

Aunt Li thought for a while and said, “Don’t we still have eggs? Just bring five eggs over later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sang’s wife walked out of her bedroom and said, “Mother, you just sent some roasted nuts. I don’t think we need to bring eggs. Let’s leave it for Shitou.”

Aunt Li knew that her daughter-in-law was stingy and petty minded, so she reminded her with a frown, “Shitou’s mother, it’s just a few eggs. Is it necessary to be so stingy? It is impossible to have a good relationship with your neighbors if you are so calculating with them.”

“What’s more, why didn’t you say anything when Jueyu gave us medicine for Shitou’s fever? I didn’t hear you say anything when she brought those snacks, vegetables, and meat over too. Now you’re complaining about some eggs?” Aunt Li frowned and said with displeasure.

Knowing that her mother-in-law was unhappy with her, Li Sang’s wife softened her tone and said, “Mother, I just think that Lu Jueyu and her husband are living better than us. These eggs are meaningless to her, but they mean a lot to us. ”

Aunt Li waved her hands impatiently and said, “It’s not our business whether they live better than us or those eggs mean nothing to her. What’s important is our intentions to give something back to her. We can’t keep receiving her gifts without giving anything in return.”

After saying that, Aunt Li returned to her room with her grandson in her arms, leaving Li Sang and his wife in the living room.

Seeing his wife’s dark face, Li Sang sighed and said, “Wife, what mother said is not wrong. We cannot take advantage of people’s generosity and kindness. You must learn to be more generous like your cousin, and stop being so stingy and petty minded. ”

Hearing her husband’s words, Chen Lina said angrily, “Li Sang, you know I hate people comparing me to Chen Anwen the most! How can you do this to me? I am your wife and the mother of your child, you should support me instead!”

After saying that, she turned around and entered her bedroom, closing the door with a bang. Li Sang looked at the closed door and sighed. After being married for so many years, he still didn’t understand why his wife hated Chen Anwen so much. The two are paternal cousins ​​and grew up together. They even lived in the same house before they got married.

He thought about their family relationship. It can be said that his family and Lu Jueyu have a distant family relationship. But this connection is best left unspoken. After all, his wife treated Chen Anwen very badly during their younger years. He shook his head and continued reading, ignoring his angry wife.

Meanwhile in her home, Lu Jueyu didn’t know that her dinner invitation caused a quarrel between Aunt Li and her daughter-in-law, thinking about what to make for dinner. Since she couldn’t show off her wealth too much, she decided to make a bowl of braised pork, a pot of egg drop soup, steamed buns, eggplant balado, assorted vegetable salad, and a plate of fried pole beans with oyster sauce.

After she finished making the dinner list, Li Chenmo came back from the production team’s farmland. Seeing his wife eating cantaloupe, he walked over and leaned over to kiss her. He licked his wife’s lips, savoring the sweetness of the cantaloupe.

Although the kiss was brief, Lu Jueyu earned 7.500 gold coins by completing her daily recurring tasks. In a good mood, she poured a glass of water for her husband and said, “Husband, you came back later than usual.”

Li Chenmo finished the water and said, “Mhmm, I have to water the fields, so today work took longer than usual.”

“Husband, Aunt Li sent some roasted nuts and I invited her family to dinner tonight. Do you want to invite the second brother too? He just moved to our village not long ago, and it will be good for him to interact more with the villagers. After all, when he gets married, he needs the help of the villagers.” Lu Jueyu asked.
