Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 55

Compensation ( 1 )
Pan Meijia observed Xiao Yiqing for a whole day and found many things that proved that she was not the Xiao Yiqing she used to be. The most obvious evidence is her handwriting and the fact that she is right-handed. Xiao Yiqing who she knows used to be left-handed and it is impossible for someone to change her habit in just three months.

Although Pan Meijia was sure that this person was not her friend, she couldn’t understand why this fake Xiao Yiqing looked exactly like her friend. Not only is the voice the same, but even the birthmark and burn scar on the arm are exactly the same.

“What’s going on?” Mother Lu asked with a frown.

“Mother, I caught her red-handed stealing the eggs.” Lu Jueyu said as she pointed at the eggs.

Seeing the broken eggs on the ground, Mother Lu’s eyes sank. She looked at Xiao Yiqing and asked, “Miss Xiao, do you have anything to say?”

Xiao Yiqing looked at their eyes full of accusations and anger, and fear suddenly surged in her heart.

“I didn’t steal it, it was Lu Jueyu who framed me!” She shouted with her eyes wide open.

“Second son, go invite Team Leader Han.” Father Lu said suddenly.

Hearing that they wanted to notify the team leader, Xiao Yiqing panicked and shouted, “No! If you tell the team leader, I will go to jail!”

As soon as she said this, she regretted it. But she couldn’t take it back because everyone heard it clearly. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, “I will pay for the broken eggs. Just tell me the price.”

“It’s not about the egg or money, but about your conduct. Even if you pay for the eggs, we won’t let a thief stay in our house.” Seeing Xiao Yiqing’s arrogant attitude, Father Lu frowned and said coldly.

“Second son, go invite team leader Han.” Father Lu said again.

“Don’t push your luck while I’m being nice! Do you know who my father and elder brother are?” Xiao Yiqing stared at Father Lu and said through gritted teeth.

“I don’t care who your father and brother are. This is my Lu family’s house. As the head of the family, I can ask whoever I want to leave my house.” Father Lu said.

“You better not regret it!” Xiao Yiqing said with red eyes.

This was the first time in her life that she was humiliated like this. What’s more, it was these peasants who humiliated her! She will make them pay a hundredfold for what they did today!

Not long after, Lu Cheng brought Han Yuheng back. Once in the backyard, Han Yuheng immediately understood the situation. His face darkened as his heart sank. This girl was entrusted to him by his superiors. Although he was dissatisfied with her, there was nothing he could do. After all, her father was the director of a factory, and her brother was serving in the army as a first sergeant.

Seeing this tense scene, he felt a headache. He walked up to Father Lu and asked, “Uncle Lu, what’s going on?”

“Team Leader Han, I’m sorry to disturb you at this time. But my family can’t let this person stay in our house anymore. Not only did she not repent after she stole our eggs and was caught on the spot, but she even dared to threaten my family arrogantly.” Father Lu said helplessly as he explained.

Han Yuheng saw the eggs and dirt on Xiao Yiqing’s shoes and pants. He rubbed his forehead and said, “Uncle Lu, it’s already so late, can you let her stay for one night? I assure you, she will leave tomorrow.”

When he was about to negotiate with Father Lu, Xiao Yiqing suddenly interrupted their conversation, “Why should I leave? Hasn’t the production team already paid the rent? I have the right to stay here!”

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu couldn’t help laughing. Everyone was confused when they heard her laughter.

“What are you laughing at?!” Xiao Yiqing asked angrily.

After laughing for a while, Lu Jueyu finally said, “Of course, I’m laughing at you.”

“You!” Xiao Yiqing was rendered speechless as she pointed at Lu Jueyu.

“What about me? This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a shameless person like you. I think your face is thicker than the Great Wall.” Lu Jueyu sneered.

Everyone let out a sniffle laugh after hearing her words. Xiao Yiqing felt humiliated and wanted to scold Lu Jueyu, but was interrupted instead.

“You are a thief who was caught by me on the spot, yet you dare to act arrogantly in my house. What? Is your father one of the heads of the government? Or is your brother a general?” Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows and asked.

“No matter what your father or brother’s status is, you are still a thief who needs to be punished!” Lu Jueyu added sharply.

After hearing her words, everyone including Pan Meijia and Xiao Yiqing fell silent. They didn’t expect that a person who was born in the village could speak eloquently.

“Xiao Yiqing, you should be glad that my father decided to just let you go. If you continue to disrespect my parents, I will report you. Do you believe it?” Lu Jueyu said coldly.

Sensing that the situation might get out of control, Han Yuheng hurriedly said, “Jueyu, let’s settle this matter privately. After all, if this matter gets to the authorities, the reputation of our brigade will be affected.”

Lu Jueyu glanced at Han Yuheng, then at Xiao Yiqing, and said, “You should thank Brother Han. If it wasn’t because of him, I would have reported you.”

Han Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words and nodded at her gratefully.

“Then Team Leader Han, what do you think we should do?” Father Lu asked.

“This…” Han Yuheng frowned as he looked at the eggs and the messy chicken coop.
