Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Three Years of Waiting
After pouring out all the water in the drinking water vat, Li Chenmo went to pick up the water barrels from the carts. Since he parked his bicycle near the backyard, he didn’t ask Feng Lin or his grandparents to help him. Not to mention they were elderly and an injured boy, these tasks are nothing compared to his daily exercise.

It didn’t take long for him to pour all the water into the drinking water vat. After he finished, he said, “Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng, my wife and children are waiting for me at home. I will come to visit both of you another day. If you need anything, just ask Xiao Lin to inform Xiao Li or Xiao Huang.”

“Nephew, please thank your wife for us. Be careful on the road.” Grandma Feng said with a smile.

Nodding at her, Li Chenmo let out a soft hum, “Mhmm.”

After a brief conversation, Li Chenmo returned home on his bicycle.

When Grandma Feng closed the door, she found her neighbor’s daughter looking at Li Chenmo with an infatuated eyes. As a person who has experienced life, she knew that this young woman had impure intentions for him.

So, before she went in, she deliberately said loudly, “Husband, I will make some socks for our Nephew’s children. We have to visit my nephew’s family to thank them too.”

Grandpa Feng glanced at the young woman and understood his wife’s intention. He nodded and said, “Alright, his two children are very cute and smart. Isn’t his son already 12 years old this year? In a few years, he will be old enough to get married.”

When the woman heard their words, she was stunned. She didn’t expect that such a young man would have a 12-year-old son. If his son was that old, he would be at least in his mid thirties. Thinking of the age gap between them, she decided to change her plan.

No matter how handsome he is, she doesn’t want to marry an old man. What’s more, in order to become his wife, she must make him divorce his wife. Then wouldn’t he become a widow with two children?

If that’s the case, then he’s not good enough for her. After coming to this conclusion, the woman lost interest in Li Chenmo and returned to her home.

Seeing that her plan was successful, Grandma Feng snorted and said, “What a restless woman. No wonder no one wants to marry her even when she is already past the marriage age.”

Grandpa Feng shook his head and said, “We shouldn’t comment on other people’s affairs. After all, our son is not a good person either.”

When she heard about her son, Grandma Feng was very angry and said, “Since he has decided not to recognize his parents or his son, then we will never acknowledge such a son too! I would rather give birth to a piece of pork than give birth to him. At least, a piece of pork can feed my grandson. Unlike that white-eyed wolf who has no merits at all!”

“Wife, if you give birth to a slice of pork, then how did you have a grandson?” Grandpa Feng asked amusedly.

Grandma Feng glared at her husband and said, “You old man, you only know how to refute me and make me angry. No matter what, I will never admit that he is my son again. What happens to him in the future has nothing to do with us. You’d better apply for our household separation as soon as possible. I don’t want that white-eyed wolf to bother my grandson when Xiao Lin has a good career in the future and become his burden.”

After Grandma Feng finished speaking, she walked to the kitchen to store the ingredients. Grandpa Feng stood in the yard and sighed. He knew how heartbroken his wife was when she received the letter. But after so many years, their hearts have grown cold. Fortunately, they still have Feng Lin. Otherwise, he couldn’t imagine how they could continue to live.

Thinking of his wife’s words, Grandpa Feng thought to himself, ‘Forget it, since this is what he wants, I should go to settle the household registration tomorrow. Three years of waiting is more than enough.’

At the same time, Dong Li and Dong Huang were studying in their rooms while Lu Jueyu was in the kitchen in her space. Since her parents separated the Lu family’s household registration, she always prepared separate gifts for them. Since her second brother wanted to eat roast chicken, she prepared portions for her eldest brother’s family and her parents too. She also prepared portions for her father-in-law and brothers-in-law.

First she prepared some butter, some bread, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, onions, garlic, celery and chicken stock. She also prepared some rosemary, sage and oregano.

She started preparing the fillings. She cut the bread into cubes and toasted it until golden brown and starting to crisp. She then melts two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. She adds the onion and celery and cooks until the onion is translucent and the celery is almost tender, about 3 minutes.

Then she added bread cubes, garlic, Italian seasoning, some salt and chicken stock. She stirred until the bread began to soften, then removed it from the heat.

She then places the baking sheet on the aluminum foil, coats it with some olive oil, and places the chicken on top. She carefully loosened the chicken skin with her hands and massaged some butter evenly under the chicken’s skin.

When the filling cools, she stuffed it loosely into the chicken to make sure there’s some room for air to circulate. Then she brushed the outside of the chicken with some olive oil and sprinkled it with salt, pepper and dried oregano.

Afterward, she tied the chicken legs up with kitchen twine. Then she makes the gravy using her secret sauce, some chicken broth, and flour. She brushed it over the chicken, poured some over to keep it juicy, and then wrapped it in aluminum foil.
