Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Considered Them Dead
After saying that, Wang Muxiao stood up and left Chen’s house with Liu Hua. Looking at their backs, Grandpa Chen was so angry that he felt dizzy, and the next second his vision went dark before he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

As soon as they left Chen’s house, Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua heard a commotion inside, “Father! Someone please help! Father has fainted!”

Seeing the panic situation of the Chen family, both of them clicked their tongues and shook their heads. Seeing that Grandpa Chen was brought to the inner room, the two of them turned around and walked briskly towards Lu Jueyu’s house.

Not long after, the news that Grandpa Chen had compensated Dong Li, Dong Huang, and Feng Lin spread in the village. This incident convinced the villagers that the news that the Lu family regarded Dong Li and Dong Huang as their biological children was true. Otherwise, the Lu family would not send the pregnant Wang Muxiao to collect compensation for the Dong siblings.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu was filling several fifteen-gallon water barrels with water from her own space in the backyard, while the children watched Li Chenmo connect the cart onto the bicycle.

Because the water will be used for drinking and cooking by Feng Lin’s family, Lu Jueyu added a small amount of spiritual grass powder to each barrel. She hopes it will help Feng Lin recover faster and improve his grandparents’ health.

Just after she filled the barrels, Li Chenmo walked up to her and said, “Wife, I’ve prepared the carts. Is the water ready?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Husband, I prepared eight fifteen-gallon water barrels. It should be enough for two to three weeks.”

Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Mhmm, if it’s not enough, we can send more over.”

With the help of Lu Jueyu and Dong Li, they loaded the barrels into the cart. Fortunately, Li Chenmo made the cart big enough to hold four barrels on each side.

Later, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and packed ten kilograms of vegetables, two cantaloupes, ten kilograms of coarse grains, five kilograms of white rice, ten kilograms of corn flour, ten kilograms of white flour, ten kilograms of pork belly, five kilograms of bones, two jars of lard, and twenty eggs into two bamboo baskets. This amount should be enough for two to three weeks.

She walked to the front yard and handed the bamboo basket to her husband. When Li Chenmo saw the food inside and glanced at his wife with surprise clear in his eyes. He never expected that his fragile wife could actually lift the bamboo basket. Judging from the quantity of food, each basket should be about 30 to 40 kilograms.

Thinking that it was a good thing for his wife’s health to improve, he smiled and put the ingredients on the cart. Then, he covered the cart with a thin old blanket and tied it up with hemp rope. Then he placed the eggs and two jars of lard on the front basket of the bicycle.

Standing on the side, Feng Lin was a little embarrassed to accept so much food from Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu. He wanted to refuse, but thinking that his grandparents’ health had improved recently due to having enough food, he swallowed his pride and said nothing.

He knew that his grandparents’ health was deteriorating due to malnutrition and heavy workload. With his current condition, he can’t be of much help, and the burden on his grandparents has increased. As for his parents, he already considered them dead.

It had been more than four years since he last saw his parents and he almost forgot what they looked like. Not to mention that the money they send is decreasing every year, now they don’t even bother to send a letter. So what if his parents are still alive? In the end, they are just like dead people to him.

Just as he was deep in thought, Li Chenmo said, “Xiao Lin, let’s go, uncle will take you back.”

Feng Lin nodded, looked at Lu Jueyu, and said, “Aunt Li, I will come to visit you again another day.”

Lu Jueyu touched his head and said with a smile, “Be careful on the road, and send my regards to your grandparents.”

Li Chenmo helped him sit in the back seat and said, “Wife remember to lock the door.”

“I know. Husband, drive safely.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Lu Jueyu stood at the gate to see him off. When she turned around, she saw her second sister-in-law walking over with Liu Hua. Seeing them, she was a little surprised and asked, “Second sister-in-law, Sister Liu Hua, what’s bringing you two here today?”

When she arrived in front of her, Wang Muxiao handed over the box in her hand and said, “Jueyu, we just came back from Gou Dan’s house. This is compensation for your children and Feng Lin.”

Lu Jueyu looked at the box in her hand and said in surprise, “Why did the Chen family suddenly agree to pay? The last time I asked them, they refused to pay a penny.”

“With Ah Xiao and I going to visit them personally, even if they don’t want to, they still have to spit out the money. Otherwise, they will not be able to bear the consequences.” Liu Hua said with a smile.

Lu Jueyu was a little curious and said, “Second sister-in-law, sister Liu Hua, let’s go in and have a chat.”

Knowing that this was not the place to talk, they followed her in and saw Lu Wenyi and Lu Wenmu helping Dong Li and Dong Huang harvest vegetables. When the children saw them, they stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to greet them, “Second Aunt, Aunt Liu!”

Wang Muxiao walked up to them, patted their heads, and said, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, the second aunt is here to give you something.”

At her words, they looked at her curiously but before they could ask, Lu Jueyu said, “Let’s talk inside.”
