Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Shameless Elder ( 1 )
Bajie was startled when he saw the aggression in his eyes. Judging from his appearance, the boy was ten years old at most. How could he have such eyes at such a young age?

Before Bajie could speak, he heard Lu Jueyu’s voice, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, go and wash up quickly. We will have breakfast after your foster father comes back from the pigpen.”

Hearing her voice, Dong Li and Dong Huang’s expressions changed instantly as smiles appeared on their faces. They ignored Bajie and walked towards the backyard while saying in unison, “Good morning, foster mother.”

This time, Bajie was stunned by their words. Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu are both young and obviously in good health. Why did they adopt two children?

Bajie was confused, but he didn’t dare to ask. After all, this is someone else’s business and he was already disturbing others with his own affairs at this time.

Thirty minutes later, Li Chenmo returned from the pig pen with Li Lingyun. After washing their hands, the two went to see Bajie’s brother.

Seeing them coming in, Bajie stood up and said, “Brother Li, Boss Ling.”

Since Li Lingyun is known as one of the pig farm bosses, Bajie always calls him Boss Ling. Therefore, Bajie was shocked when he learned that Li Lingyun was Li Chenmo’s second brother.

At first, he thought Li Lingyun was as ruthless as the rumors said due to his involvement with the underground group before. But after getting along with him, he knew that although he was indeed a cunning man and was cruel to his enemies, he was a reasonable person and treated his family and friends well.

Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun both nodded to Bajie, then walked to the bed.

Li Lingyun sat by the bed, checked the man’s wound and said, “Third brother, I will inform Houzi about this later. For now, just let him stay at your place.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Mhmm. Second brother, do you think this matter has anything to do with the situation in the city?”

After listening to his words, Li Lingyun fell into deep thought. After a long silence, he finally shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. If they did this, it would be impossible for Bajie and his brother to escape alive. Maybe this is just a conflict between groups due to the business territory.”

Bajie stood aside, stunned by their words. He had difficulty understanding what they were saying. After holding it back for a while, his curiosity finally won out and he couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Li, Boss Ling, what are you two talking about?”

Li Chenmo turned to look at him and said, “Bajie, you will go with my second brother in a moment and tell Houzi about your brother’s condition. As for your brother, let him stay with me for now.”

Bajie nodded and said, “I understand. Thank you, Brother Li.”

Li Chenmo nodded at him and said, “No problem. Let’s go have breakfast first.”

After making their decision, the three of them left the room and came to the living room. When they walked into the living room, Lu Jueyu and the children were already waiting for them.

Lu Jueyu saw them coming and said, “Second brother, you are here.”

Li Lingyun nodded to her and said with a smile, “Third sister-in-law, I’m here to leech off your food again.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu let out a chuckle and said, “Second brother, you are always welcome in my home.”

Dong Li and Dong Huang also came forward and greeted him, “Good morning, second uncle.”

“Good morning,” Li Lingyun patted their heads and sat down next to Dong Li.

Seeing Bajie standing awkwardly at the door, Li Chenmo asked, “Bajie, what are you doing standing there? Take a seat.”

Coming back to his senses, Bajie walked over and said, “Ah, okay.”

After everyone sat down, Lu Jueyu served a bowl of chicken porridge for her husband and adopted children, and another bowl for herself.

“Bajie, just think of this place as your home. Don’t be too restrained,” Lu Jueyu said.

Hearing her words, Bajie smiled at her and said, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Even though she told him to treat their house as his own home, Bajie still felt embarrassed. At first he thought he would be too embarrassed to enjoy the food, but the moment he tasted the food, all embarrassment disappeared instantly. Coupled with the feeling of hunger, the meal tasted better than usual.

Lu Jueyu watched Bajie stuffing food into his mouth because of hunger and sighed. At this moment, she really hopes that time can pass faster and economic reform can happen as soon as possible. Only after economic reform can people’s lives get better and better.

After breakfast, Bajie left with Li Lingyun, and the children went to school. While Li Chenmo was washing dishes in the backyard, Lu Jueyu went to harvest the vegetables.

Since they are watered daily with water from the space, the vegetables grow quickly and at least 45% of the total production can be harvested every day. The quantity of these vegetables is enough for her to sell to Houzi.

Soon her husband came to help her. Two hours later, after harvesting the vegetables, Lu Jueyu put everything into her own space. Thinking about the incoming summer, she wondered whether the mushrooms and herbs in the mountains were ready for harvest.

While resting, Lu Jueyu looked at her husband and asked, “Husband, do you have plans for later?”

Li Chenmo took a sip of watermelon juice and said, “No. Do you want to visit the town?”

“Husband, I want to go to the mountains to see if I can find some medicinal materials or edible fungi. Can you accompany me?” she asked.

“Of course. If you want to go to the mountain, we’d better leave now.” Li Chenmo agreed readily.

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu felt happy. She quickly changed her clothes and went to the woodshed to get two bamboo baskets and two hoes. After locking the door, the two walked from the backyard to the mountain.
