Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 41

Followed
Both Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo are used to the staff’s attitude. After all, those who can work in a state-run supply store must have some connections. Not to mention their high salaries, they even get a ‘thank you gift’ from customers occasionally. Therefore, it is normal for them to act proud.

Lu Jueyu scooped some maltose candy, put it into two oiled paper bags, then went to the counter to weigh it and pay the bill.

Seeing the quantity, Li Chenmo frowned and asked, “Jueyu, should we buy more? I don’t think it’s enough.”

“Do you want to give it to some people as a gift?” Lu Jueyu asked.

Li Chenmo looked at her clueless expressions for a while, and reminded her, “Shouldn’t we prepare wedding candies?”

Hearing what he said, she remembered that there were only four days left before their wedding. At first, she wanted to buy some candies as covers for items in her space. Because if she had a lot of these items but never bought them, people would be suspicious. As for the candy, there are many biscuits, milk candies, and candied fruit in her space. So, there is no need to buy. After all, a small bag of maltose candy cost them two yuan. It was too expensive.

“I’ve already bought the wedding candy, so we don’t need to buy any more.” Lu Jueyu said after thinking for a while.

Hearing that she had already prepared the wedding candies, Li Chenmo was delighted. It seems that she is also quite looking forward to their wedding day.

When they returned to the hospital after buying candies, Han Yuheng was already waiting for them. Seeing them, he asked, “Do you want to go to the department store first?”

“We just came back from there. It’s getting late now, we should go back.” Lu Jueyu said.

“Alright.”

Han Yuheng first helped Li Chenmo onto the tractor, and only after she sat down did he start driving.

After leaving the county seat, Lu Jueyu opened the bamboo basket and took out a bamboo tube. She opened the lid, handed it to Li Chenmo, and said, “Have some ginger soup first.”

She wiped their hands clean with a damp towel while he drank his soup. Then, she opened the jar, split the steamed bun, scooped a spoonful of meat sauce, and put it on the steamed bun. Then, she handed it to Li Chenmo.

She prepared a few more steamed buns, and then said to Han Yuheng, “Brother Han, eat some steamed buns to cushion your stomach.”

Since he was really hungry, Han Yuheng didn’t refuse and took the steamed buns. They ate as they went back to the village. When they arrived at Li’s house, the sun had already begun to set. While Father Li was helping Li Chenmo back to his room, Lu Jueyu took out a small oil paper bag from the bamboo basket and handed it to Han Yuheng.

Seeing the bag, he asked, “Jueyu, what are you doing?”

“Brother Han, this is a small thank you gift. I’ve taken a lot of your time, please accept it. Otherwise, I won’t dare to go to you when I need help in the future.”

After hearing her words, Han Yuheng laughed and said, “After you say that, how can I refuse you? Then I will accept it. If you need help in the future, just tell me.”

“I will. Thank you, Brother Han.” She nodded.

She waited until she could no longer see the tractor before heading inside. Little did she know, someone was watching her from behind the bushes. There was jealousy and anger in those cold eyes.

Since it was almost dinner time, she went to the kitchen to cook a simple dinner for Li Chenmo and his father, and then went home. As soon as she left Li’s house, someone followed her. Sensing someone behind her, Lu Jueyu stopped and turned around. But when she turned around, there was no one there.

Sensing something was wrong, she quickened her pace and looked at her back once in a while. Hearing the footsteps behind her getting closer, cold sweat broke out on her back and forehead.

Just when Lu Jueyu thought that the person following her would catch her the next moment, she saw her second brother.

“Second Brother!” She suddenly yelled, startling Lu Cheng.

He turned to look at her, patting his chest. Seeing her pale face, he was taken aback, and asked worriedly, “Jueyu, what’s wrong?”

Lu Jueyu turned her head and found that there was no one behind her. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, “It’s nothing, I just want to call you. Let’s go back.”

Lu Cheng noticed her strangeness, and squinted his eyes to look at the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he patted her on the back and said, “Let’s go.”

Not long after they left, a person walked out from behind the wall, cursed in a low voice, and left.

When they entered the house, her sisters-in-law had just finished preparing dinner, and the whole family was sitting around the table. When Mother Lu saw them coming back, she said, “Go wash your hands and eat.”

Lu Jueyu nodded, went to the kitchen to put the bamboo basket away, washed her hands and face, and sat next to her second sister-in-law. When she saw two extra bowls on the table, she asked, “Why are there two extra bowls? Will someone join us later?”

Hearing her question, no one spoke. Wang Muxiao approached her and said in a low voice, “Jueyu, I prepared these bowls in case those educated youths want to eat dinner.”

Lu Jueyu was taken aback by her words. She knew very well how stingy her second sister-in-law was. Does the sun rise from the west today? Why is she suddenly so generous, willing to share food with strangers?

Wang Muxiao didn’t know what she was thinking, and said, “When we were eating dumplings yesterday, they asked for a bowl. At first, our mother didn’t agree, because the raw materials are very precious. But after Xiao Yiqing offered to pay for the ingredients, we reluctantly agreed to give her a bowl.”
