Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 54

Thief
Li Chenxuan was angered by Li Chenmo’s words and shouted, “Li Chenmo, watch your words!”

“Enough!”

Lu Jueyu was startled by Father Li’s sudden shout, and took half a step back. Li Chenmo quickly held her hand and patted her on the back.

Father Li saw it and felt bad for scaring her, but didn’t say anything. He looked at Li Chenxuan and said, “Do you think I’m dead? You started making trouble as soon as you came back. If you can’t discipline your wife, do you still need me to discipline her for you?”

“But father, this is not Siyu’s fault alone.” Li Chenxuan said.

“If she hadn’t provoked Xiaoyu, would third son have said these words?” Father Li asked him back.

Hearing Father Li’s words, Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu didn’t dare to say anything more.

Lu Jueyu was uncomfortable with the situation, and said, “Uncle Li, don’t be angry, it will hurt your body. I’m okay.”

“Vixen.” Jiao Siyu said in a low voice.

“You still dare to say another word?!” Father Li shouted while he glared at her.

“Uncle Li, I should go back. There are some noodles and bone soup in the kitchen. It can be warmed up for dinner. There is also a plate of steamed cakes, which can be used as tomorrow’s breakfast. ”

Hearing her words, Li Chenxuan and his wife stretched their necks, as if they could see the things in the kitchen from the living room. Seeing their absurd actions, Lu Jueyu was speechless and couldn’t help but shake her head in her heart.

“Brother Chenmo, I’ll come to see you tomorrow. I’m leaving.” She looked at the unhappy Li Chenmo and said with a smile.

“En.” He nodded reluctantly.

“Goodnight, Uncle Li.”

“Go slowly.” Father Li reminded her.

As soon as Lu Jueyu left, Jiao Siyu complained, “What an impolite girl.”

Hearing Jiao Siyu’s words, Father Li looked at her and asked, “What? You bullied her and still want her to give you a good attitude? Do you think your face is plaster with gold?”

After leaving this sentence, Father Li snorted and went to the kitchen. He only ate a coarse grain pancake in the morning, and he was very hungry. When Li Chenmo saw his father go to get his meal, he returned to his room without even looking at his second brother.

“What is he proud of? He is no longer a soldier, but a lame man. How dare he treat us like this?” Jiao Siyu said angrily.

“Alright, wife. You shouldn’t be angry, so as not to damage your health.” Li Chenxuan coaxed her.

“If it wasn’t for your father’s promise, I wouldn’t be willing to come to this dirty place,” she added.

“Okay okay. Let’s go. It’s been a while since we last came back. We need to clean up our house.”

“If you want to clean up the house, you can do it yourself.”

“Okay, I’ll do it by myself.”

Father Li stood on the balcony, looked at his second son, and sighed. Among his three sons, the second son has a very different personality from his brothers. He is not only cunning and greedy, but also ambitious with no ability nor courage. In the end, in order to live a comfortable life, he decided to marry such a woman as his wife just because she has more dowry compared to other girls.

As a father, it would be a lie to say that he is not disappointed in his second son. But no matter how much he taught him or tried to change his mindset, his second son never listened to him or his wife since young. In the end, he can only let him do whatever he wants. Even when Li Chenxuan insisted on moving to the town and rarely came back, Father Li could only close his eyes and let him be. His heart does not grieve what the eyes cannot see.

When Lu Jueyu came back, her family had already finished dinner. So she went to the kitchen to put away the pots and baskets. When she went to the kitchen, she saw someone in the chicken coop. She walked over curiously and saw Xiao Yiqing chase away the old hen.

Seeing her actions, Lu Jueyu immediately understood what was going on. Her face darkened, and she asked coldly, “Miss Xiao, what are you doing here at this time?”

Xiao Yiqing was startled by her voice, and the egg in her hand dropped to the ground. When she turned around, she glared at Lu Jueyu and asked, “Can you make a sound when you walk? Are you trying to scare me to death on purpose?”

Lu Jueyu marveled at how thick-skinned the heroine was. Pointing to the egg in Xiao Yiqing’s hand, she asked, “So you can run away after stealing my family’s egg?”

Hearing her words, Xiao Yiqing was frightened. She almost forgot that in this day and age, the punishment for stealing is imprisonment or even death. She quickly put down the eggs and said, “Be careful with what you say. Which eye of yours saw me stealing your eggs?!”

“It’s obviously both of my eyes.” Lu Jueyu said coldly.

“Do you have evidence? If you talk nonsense again, I will report you to the authorities for defamation!” Facing Lu Jueyu’s calmness, Xiao Yiqing began to panic.

“Then report it. I will also report you for stealing. I don’t need evidence. You are here at this time, and those eggs are the best proof.” Lu Jueyu sneered, pointing to the broken eggs on the ground and the egg yolk splashed on Xiao Yiqing’s pants

“You are talking nonsense!” Xiao Yiqing shouted defensively.

Because her voice was too loud, people from the Lu family and Pan Meijia came out to check the situation. When they saw Xiao Yiqing who was covered in mud in the chicken coop, their expressions suddenly changed.

While the members of the Lu family were angry, Pan Meijia was calm. When Xiao Yiqing said those words to her yesterday, her heart already turned cold. Seeing Xiao Yiqing’s current situation, Pan Meijia didn’t feel anything strange at all.
