Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Persuasion ( 1 )
Seeing Pan Meijia coming so early, Lu Jueyu was a little surprised and said, “Meijia, why are you here so early today?”

Pan Meijia went to wash her hands, help her pack the meat sauce, and said, “I’m here to ask for your help.”

Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s rare for you to ask me for help. What is it?”

“It’s actually about Brother Xiao Li’s matter. He is going to visit the Liu family tomorrow to ask their permission to marry Sister Liu Hua. Because it happened so suddenly, he asked Brother Yun for help. Since you and my Brother-in-law have more knowledge about betrothal gifts, can you help Xiao Li prepare it? In addition, I want to know if we can help him organize a wedding banquet.” Pan Meijia explained.

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Of course my husband and I will be happy to help him. After all, Sister Liu Hua has helped me a lot since I was a child.”

“Do you know when they need the betrothal gifts?” she asked.

“As far as I know, sister Liu Hua is getting married to someone from another village next week. So, I think the betrothal gifts will be needed in two or three days. As for the wedding banquet, it may be next week. I just don’t know if Xiao Li will be able to succeed tomorrow?” Pan Meijia sighed.

Seeing her worried look, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, since Sister Liu Hua has chosen him, he will definitely succeed. After all, if Sister Liu Hua doesn’t want to, no one can force her to get married.”

Pan Meijia was still worried and said with a sigh, “I hope so.”

Not long after, Zhang Dongmei, Chen Anwen, and Wang Muxiao arrived and Pan Meijia explained to them about Xiao Li’s plan.

Meanwhile, Liu Hua was having dinner with her family. Mother Liu sat around the table, looked at the spicy and sour fish soup, and asked, “Ah Hua, did you go to the river again? You are getting married next week. You should stay at home to prepare the dowry. Don’t go out all the time.”

Before Liu Hua could say anything, Shi Qiwan said, “Mother, this fish was given by Xiao Li.”

When Father Liu heard this, he frowned and said, “Ah Hua, since you are engaged to Tingyun, you should keep your distance from other men.”

Hearing his words, Liu Hua opened her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Shi Qiwan again, “Father, how can you ask Ah Hua to stay away from Xiao Li? The two of them grew up together. Even if Ah Hua gets married and has children in the future, she might still have a good relationship with him. After all, they were childhood sweethearts.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Liu said with a frown, “Qiwan, watch your words. What do you want to say? Are you hinting that Ah Hua will have an affair with him in the future?”

“Mother, you misunderstood me ah. That’s not what I meant.” Shi Qiwan said.

Liu Hua sat opposite her and looked at her calmly. She knew that her sister-in-law didn’t like her staying at home for so many years. Her sister-in-law has always believed that as a daughter, she should get married as soon as possible to avoid spending all the money that the family should give to their grandchildren.

Because of this, their relationship has always been distant. Although they are not close, at least on the surface they still maintain family harmony and are very polite to each other. But tonight, it seems that her sister-in-law has finally revealed her true colors. Her intention to drive a wedge between her and her parents was so obvious.

“So, what do you mean, sister-in-law?” Liu Hua asked.

Hearing her question, Shi Qiwan said, “Ah Hua, I really don’t mean anything. Just think that your sister-in-law said something carelessly, alright? Let’s eat before the food gets cold.”

Liu Hua knew that his sister-in-law wanted to change the topic, so she looked at her worriedly and let out a long sigh, “Sister-in-law, it seems that you are really old. I told you during the day not to talk nonsense. But, after only a few hours, you forgot and treated my words like farts.”

What Shi Qiwan hates most is when others mention her age and appearance. As a result of working in the fields, she was exposed to the sun for a long time. Moreover, after giving birth to three children, her 26-year-old body already looks like she is in her thirties.

Whenever she sees Liu Hua, who is 22 years old but still looks like an 18-year-old girl, she is so jealous that she wants to reach out and scratch her face. What’s more, she doesn’t know what she did or ate recently to look prettier and younger.

Shi Qiwan was irritated by her words and wanted to refute her words, but before she could speak, Liu Hua said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Even if you get older and become confused, my brother won’t look down upon you.”

After saying that, she scooped up a bowl of fish soup for her mother and said, “Mother, Ah Li knows that you like to eat fish soup, so he asked me to cook it for you. This fish is indeed a gift from him, but it is for you and my Father.”

After listening to her words, Mother Liu sighed and said, “Xiao Li is a good person, but it’s a pity that his family… Ai…”

Liu Hua knew that her mother didn’t dislike Xiao Li, but was worried about his family’s situation. Knowing that she must hit the iron while it’s hot, she said, “Mother, he has been separated from his family for a long time and has no contact with them. He is living a good life now.”

“What a good life? Everyone knows that he has nothing. Ah Hua, although you have a good relationship with him, you shouldn’t lie so blatantly.” Shi Qiwan sneered.
