Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 40

Buying Wedding Candies
As if thinking of something, Doctor Yu patted his thigh and asked, “Brother Li, I found that your muscles are not as tense as other patients. Did you receive a massage?”

“Yes, my wife massaged my sore muscles and gave me a herbal foot bath.” Li Chenmo nodded.

“Then have you taken medicine or medicinal food?” Doctor Yu asked again.

“Do bone soup and herbal chicken soup count?” Li Chenmo asked him back.

“No wonder you recover faster than others. Sister-in-law really takes good care of you. With massage and good nutrition, your body will recover faster.” Doctor Yu said with a hint of envy.

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, while Li Chenmo showed complacency.

Seeing his proud look, Doctor Yu snorted and said, “Your abdominal wound is almost healed, but you still can’t lift heavy items or do heavy work, and you can’t eat strong flavor food. As for your legs, you can walk with crutches for now. You will be fully recovered in a month. At that time, you will have to come back for another checkup.”

“Doctor Yu, after I recover, will my legs…” Li Chenmo’s voice became smaller and smaller.

Doctor Yu glanced at them and comforted him, “Brother Li, don’t worry. Your leg will recover completely.”

“Are you sure?” Li Chenmo couldn’t believe his ears, and asked again.

“As long as you don’t hurt your bones during recovery, your leg will fully recover.” Doctor Yu said firmly.

Hearing these words, Li Chenmo felt that his hanging heart had finally returned to its original place. Sensing his mood, Lu Jueyu held his hand and smiled at him.

After thanking Doctor Yu, paying off the expenses, and renting a pair of crutches, they left the hospital. When they came out, there were still more than an hour before Han Yuheng came back. So, they went to the state-run department store to buy some New Year’s goods.

Although it is called a department store, because it is located in the county seat, the building has only three floors, with a total area of ​​6,000 square meters.

After entering the department store, Lu Jueyu found that there were very few customers and the department store seemed empty. As she walked slowly, she checked the prices of the goods. Department stores are 60% more expensive than state-run supply stores. Of course, while the price is higher, the quality is better. But compared with the things in her space, the quality is much worse. So she wasn’t planning to buy anything, just looking around.

Seeing that she was just looking at things and not buying anything, the store assistants give them a side glance and ignore them. As they passed a watch store, her eyes fell on a designer watch. Although the design is outdated for her, it is the latest in this era.

Li Chenmo noticed that her eyes were fixed on the watch, and said, “I’ll buy you one.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu shook her head and said, “I don’t like this design.”

Before he could speak, the store assistant snorted and said in a low voice with a hint of disdain, “Pfft, who are you trying to trick? You better say you have no money. This is the latest design for this season. If you don’t know fashion, you shouldn’t open your mouth.”

Hearing this, Li Chenmo became angry, and wanted to walk over, but Lu Jueyu grabbed his hand and said, “Brother Chenmo, you don’t need to waste your time on this kind of person. Although it is the latest design, it’s tacky and overpriced. I prefer something simple.”

Burning with anger, Li Chenmo looked at her firm gaze, and could only let go. Before leaving, he gave the store assistant another cold look. After walking for a while, he still couldn’t help being angry.

He looked at her relaxed expressions as if nothing had happened, and asked, “Aren’t you angry?”

“Huh? Why should I? She is just a stranger to me. Her words are worthless and have no effect on me. If I get angry with her, wouldn’t it be my loss?” She said casually.

“Why do you say that?” he asked.

“If I’m angry with her, I will spend time thinking about her words, and anger will hurt my health. What’s more, if I get angry, I will lose my mind and argue with her. Arguing will not give me any benefits and only make us lose face. What’s more, if the situation gets out of control, it may alert the authorities and we are either fined or educated for disturbing public order. In the end, it is myself who suffers. So, why should I be angry when the loss outweighs the benefit? It’s not worth it.” Lu Jueyu explained calmly.

Li Chenmo felt that what she said made sense, so he stopped being angry. He glanced at her and smiled. He didn’t expect that although she was young, she was calm and able to think rationally. Perhaps it was because she was not close to him before that she never showed her true self. So, he always thought of her as a stubborn, proud, immature person.

It seemed that he no longer remembered what she was like before. It was strange that he only remembered the current ‘her’. Now he can even remember her most subtle expressions clearly, but why can’t he remember her previous features?

Lu Jueyu found that he was lost in his thoughts, so she reached out and poked his arm, and asked, “Brother Chenmo, what are you thinking?”

When he came back to his senses, he smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Do you still want to look around?”

Lu Jueyu looked at the surrounding shops and shook her head.

“Let’s go to the supply store. We need to buy some candy,” she said after a moment of thought.

Li Chenmo nodded, and the two left the department store. When they got to the state supply store, it was empty and the clerk was yawning. Seeing them coming, she continued to sit while giving them a side glance.
