Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Comrade, Gift ( 2 )
“No, we are here to visit you and others. We have to go back before dawn.” Li Chenmo said.

Lu Jueyu was surprised by the tunnels and underground rooms they built. As everyone knows, most of the houses in these alleys are abandoned houses, and they are all very small. Therefore, for these people to actually dig several underground rooms to store food and goods without being noticed by the government, it shows that they are not simple.

With these rooms, their chances of being caught by the government are lower than those of Houzi. After all, when they entered the house, there was only a small bedroom and a small living room. The house doesn’t even have a kitchen. To access the underground, they need to pass through a hidden tunnel built into the wall behind the cabinet.

When they came to the largest underground room, Lu Jueyu saw about twenty people inside. Some were busy weighing the goods and packing them into sacks, while others were paying.

Seeing them coming, those people also stopped what they were doing and greeted, “Brother Li, you are here.”

Li Chenmo put the bamboo basket he was carrying on the ground and said, “Everyone, just be busy with your business. I’m just here to bring you some snacks.”

After hearing his words, they were all a little curious. They worked quickly and after seeing off the last customer, they came over to talk to their captain. When they saw a young and beautiful woman standing obediently next to their ‘devil’ captain, they were stunned.

The man in the wheelchair looked at them and asked, “Brother Li, is this my sister-in-law?”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo raised the corner of his mouth and said, “Everyone, this is my wife, Lu Jueyu.”

After the introduction, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Hello, everyone. Thank you for helping us last time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone said in unison, “Hello, sister-in-law!”

Judging from the way they greeted her, Lu Jueyu thought for a moment that her husband was a mafia leader. But when she saw that they all had scars and injuries, she knew they were all veteran soldiers. They may have been injured and forced to retire like her husband. In addition to admiration for their sacrifice for the country and people, her eyes only had a friendly gaze.

Their impression of her doubled when they saw that she didn’t look down on them because of their disability. She is indeed different from other women.

Seeing them looking at his wife with bright eyes, Li Chenmo said, “Okay, stop looking at my wife and get your shares.”

Sensing the sourness in her husband’s words, Lu Jueyu chuckled. She pulled his sleeve to placate him and said to everyone, “These snacks and wine are all made by me. I hope they suit everyone’s taste.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded quickly and said, “Sister-in-law, thank you very much.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they went to check the bamboo basket. When they took away the banana leaves, they saw several bamboo bottles and several packages wrapped in oil paper. They distributed packages and wine to everyone.

Some were hungry, so they opened the package and saw two Zhongzis, ten green glutinous rice balls wrapped in banana leaves, a tube of lotus porridge, and eight thin pancakes wrapped in banana leaves. Osmanthus rice wine is stored in bamboo bottles, each bottle contains 500 ml of wine.

They thought they could get some pancakes at most, so they were surprised when they saw the food. One of them opened the Zhongzi curiously and took a bite.

Lu Jueyu’s Zhongzi has many fillings, including a slice of braised egg, a spoon of spicy marinate pork, several slices of saute mushrooms, a piece of roasted chestnut, and some salted dried shrimps. The glutinous rice is fragrant while the fillings are savory and delicious.

The Zhongzis are as big as an adult man’s fist, and they are very filling. Just eating one Zhongzi is enough to satisfy an adult man’s hunger. After eating the Zhongzi, he opened the bamboo bottle and the aroma of osmanthus rice wine filled the room. After taking a sip, he felt warm in his stomach and his fatigue was relieved.

He sighed with satisfaction and said, “Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing. It’s so delicious, I almost swallowed my tongue!”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu just smiled, and Li Chenmo said, “That is a matter of course. If my wife claims that she is second in cooking, then no one dares to say that she is first.”

Lu Jueyu glanced at her husband in surprise. She had never seen her husband behave like this. Although he would show a bit of pride whenever others praised her, this was the first time she heard him showing off so blatantly like this.

What she doesn’t know is that these men all have one thing in common. They love to show off their wives and children.

In the past, Li Chenmo could only shut up and listen to his comrades or subordinates praise how good their wives or how cute their children were. Now, when he finally has a chance to show off his wife, how could he let it go? Of course he would let them know that he was a winner and no one could beat his wife.

Like a peacock spreading its feathers, Li Chenmo glanced at his comrades with a proud smile on his face. While they longed to punch his smug face, they knew they could not win him in battle.

Not to mention that they are all injured and inconvenient to fight now, even at their peak condition, at least four people are needed to win over Li Chenmo. So they could only let him show off as they enjoyed snacks and wine.

After showing off his wife, Li Chenmo finally said, “By the way, my wife and I plan to sell the grain after receiving it during the harvest season.”

After hearing his words, the man with the scar on his face asked, “Brother Li, how much do you plan to sell it for?”
