Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 576

Chapter 576: Ulterior Motives
After hearing Li Linyun’s words, Father Su was so angry that he almost suffocated. He pointed at him and asked, “Who do you call a clown?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Su saw the man looking at him with pity in his eyes and felt a little confused.

Li Lingyun let out a long sigh, shook his head while clicking his tongue and said, “It turns out he is not a clown, but an idiot. He can’t even understand human words. He looks smart but… what a pity!”

After saying that, he walked toward the gate. But after walking a few steps, he stopped again and added, “Since you are just a guest in this village, stay with your daughter. Don’t come out and disturb other people. We are very busy, unlike some people who come to exploit his married daughter’s money and food. What a shameless burden.”

Hearing this, Father Su was furious, but before he could refute Li Lingyun’s words, he had already knocked on the door, “Third brother, it’s me, open the door.”

Not long after, the door was opened, and Li Chenmo looked at his second brother in surprise, “Second brother, what brought you here so early?”

“Third brother, I’m here to borrow eggs from you.” Li Lingyun said.

Li Chenmo stepped aside to let him in, and said, “You come in first, and I will get you eggs.”

After Li Lingyun entered the house, Li Chenmo glanced at Father Su and closed the door. Before the door closed, Father Su’s eyes lit up when he saw the lush vegetable garden inside. It’s been a while since he had fresh vegetables.

Although there is a piece of land in the Gao family’s yard, it is used to grow potatoes. Moreover, after Grandma Gao fell ill, only Da Gao knew how to take care of the crops. As a result, the quality of the crops is poor. Now, looking at the lush vegetables, Father Su’s heart is full of plans.

If he could get close to the owner of the house, he might be able to taste the vegetables. After all, villagers like to send vegetables or food to each other to maintain relationships. Father Su’s eyes flashed when he thought of the young man and his daughter who were about the same age.

With his daughter’s beauty and talent, not many men could resist her charm. Compared with Da Gao, this young man is much better in appearance and ability.

If his daughter could get this man, wouldn’t he and his wife be able to live a comfortable life? They might even be able to earn money by selling the vegetables ah!

After coming to this conclusion, Father Su’s mood improved and he returned to the Gao family with brisk steps.

Inside the house, Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun went to the kitchen to get eggs. When they arrived in the backyard, they saw Lu Jueyu harvesting soybeans.

Seeing them coming, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Second brother, you are here.”

Li Lingyun nodded to her and said, “Third sister-in-law, I’m here to borrow the eggs.”

After hearing what he said, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Second brother, you always send me and my husband some meat, so just take the eggs back. What’s more, my family’s old hens are great. They lay eggs everyday.”

Thinking of his second brother’s situation, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Second brother, my wife is right. If you want eggs or vegetables, come to us. You often give us meat, and it is natural for us to give you these.”

After hearing what they said, Li Lingyun did not refuse and said with a smile, “In that case, I won’t be polite.”

“Then I’m going to get the eggs. Second brother, please wait a moment.” Lu Jueyu said and walked to the kitchen.

When she was alone in the kitchen, she took out a small bamboo basket from the cabinet and placed 30 eggs from her own space into the basket. After closing the lid of the bamboo basket, she left the kitchen.

“Second brother, if you want more eggs, just tell my husband.” Lu Jueyu said as she handed the bamboo basket to Li Lingyun.

Li Lingyun took the bamboo basket and said, “Okay. I will take my leave now. Meijia is still waiting for me at home.”

After hearing his words, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu both looked at each other with knowing eyes.

Before leaving, Li Lingyun said, “By the way, third brother. The man just now is Su Anna’s father. I suspect he has ulterior motives for coming today.”

After saying this, he glanced at Lu Jueyu, turned around and left.

The way his second brother looked at him, Li Chenmo knew that his second brother was warning him to be careful, lest Su Anna or her family come to trouble his wife.

Not long after leaving Li Chenmo’s house, Li Lingyun arrived at his house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his girlfriend watering the vegetable garden.

Seeing him coming back so fast, Pan Meijia smiled and said, “Brother Yun, you are back. Did you borrow the eggs?”

Li Lingyun nodded after listening to her words and said, “Mhmm, my third sister-in-law gave me a basket of eggs.”

Pan Meijia’s eyes lit up when she saw the basket of eggs. She knew that the eggs laid by Lu Jueyu’s hens were better than the eggs she bought from the state-owned supply store. Not only is it fresher, it’s also tastier.

She quickly took the bamboo basket from her boyfriend’s hand and said, “Brother Yun, I’m going to make you some steamed cakes and egg fried rice.”

Seeing his girlfriend’s excited expression, Li Lingyun smiled and said, “Then let me help you light the fire.”

“Alright,” Pan Meijia nodded while counting the eggs.

Although Li Lingyun’s kitchen is smaller than Li Chenmo’s, it still has three stoves and a long brick table. In addition, there is a water vat next to the kitchen table for cooking.
