Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 58

New Year’s Gift
So in the face of Lu Jueyu’s questioning, Wang Muxiao just said, “It’s nothing. Dust got into my eyes. It’s much better now.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said nothing. She went to find her eldest sister-in-law, while Wang Muxiao went into Mother Lu’s room.

Seeing her coming so late, Mother Lu asked, “Ah Xiao, what’s the matter?”

Sitting on the edge of the Kang bed, Wang Muxiao took out a purse and said, “Mother, this is the money from the past two days. There are eighteen yuan and thirty cents in it.”

Mother Lu knew where the money came from. So, she took the money, took out three yuan, and handed it to Wang Muxiao. “This is for you. Buy some delicious food for Xiaofeng. Don’t be too stingy with the child.”

Wang Muxiao didn’t expect her mother-in-law to give her some money. She was overjoyed, nodded, and said, “I understand. Thank you, Mother. ”

“Go to rest early.” Mother Lu waved her hand and said.

Wang Muxiao returned home happily with the money in her hand.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu was sitting on the Kang bed in the first branch’s house, helping Lu Wenmu put on his new sweater. There is a bowl of steamed cakes on the table.

“Jueyu, these must cost a lot of money.” Chen Anwen said while touching the sweater. The wool feels soft and smooth on her hands. Just by looking at the texture, she knew it was expensive.

“It’s not expensive. I bought the leftover wool from a factory so the price is cheaper.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

“The clothes are really warm. Thank you, Auntie.” Lu Wenyi said while touching his face with gloves.

“It’s good if you like it.” Lu Jueyu rubbed his hair and said with a smile.

Seeing these sweaters, scarves, gloves, socks, and stomach warmers, Chen Anwen couldn’t help but say, “Jueyu, you should save the money for yourself.”

“Sister-in-law, I’m going to get married in two days. After getting married, it won’t be easy for me to make new clothes for my nephew and brother anymore. Just accept it with ease. This is my New Year’s gift for my family.” Lu Jue Yu said.

Now that Lu Jueyu has said so, Chen Anwen no longer refuses. After a brief chat, Lu Jueyu went to visit his second brother. Not long after she knocked on the door, Wang Muxiao opened the door. Seeing the big bundle and a bowl of steamed cakes in Lu Jueyu’s hands, her eyes lit up.

“Jueyu ah, just come if you want, there is no need to bring anything. Come in quickly.” Wang Muxiao said while taking the items from Lu Jueyu’s hand.

“Second sister-in-law. I came to share some steamed cake with you and Xiaofeng.” Lu Jueyu said as he walked towards the room.

As soon as she entered the room, she heard Lu Cheng’s voice.

“Oh, so you only think of your sister-in-law and your niece, and forget your brother?”

Lu Jueyu smiled, sat on the Kang bed, and said, “Second brother, don’t worry. You also have a share.”

Hearing this, Lu Cheng sat up and asked curiously, “What did you bring? Show me, hurry up.”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Muxiao opened the bamboo basket and took out a bowl of steamed cakes. Lu Cheng’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the cake. He took a sniff and felt his saliva flow down instantly. He stretched out his hand but was slapped away by Wang Muxiao.

“You just finished dinner. We’ll save it for tomorrow.” She said and hurriedly put the steamed cake into the cabinet.

Watching his wife take away the steamed cake, Lu Cheng withered like a frozen eggplant while complaining, “Can’t you give me one slice? There are eight slices.”

Lu Jueyu smiled as she watched the interaction between Lu Cheng and Wang Muxiao. Unlike the eldest brother and his wife who treat each other with love and respect, the second brother has a poisonous mouth and frank personality. Fortunately, he found a wife who could put up with his harsh words and still love him dearly. Otherwise, he might stay as a bachelor until he dies.

When Wang Muxiao came back, she took a piece of steamed cake and handed it to Lu Cheng while saying, “Here. Eat and stop complaining. You are already so old, and you still act like a child. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Where am I old? I’m only 23 years old and at my prime.” He said while eating the steamed cake.

Wang Muxiao rolled her eyes at him then turned to look at Lu Jueyu, “Jueyu ah, what’s in the package?”

“This is a New Year’s gift I prepared for my second brother, second sister-in-law, and Xiaofeng. Open it and see if you like it.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Wang Muxiao was a little curious so she opened the package, and when she saw what was inside, she couldn’t help but gasp. She pulled out sweaters, gloves, hats, socks, and stomach warmers. Although she is stingy, she has good eyesight. She knew at a glance that these things were made of high-quality wool. This must have cost Lu Jueyu a lot of money!

“It’s too expensive, how can we accept it?” She said this, but she was unwilling to put down what she was holding.

“Second sister-in-law, I also prepared the same thing for my elder brother and the others. You can accept it with ease. It’s already late, so I won’t bother you any longer,” Lu Jueyu said as she stood up.

“Thank you, Jueyu.” Wang Muxiao said quickly and sent her to the door.

“Second sister-in-law, we are a family. Don’t be so polite to me.”

After leaving these words, Lu Jueyu went back to her room and locked the door. She went to her space to take a hot shower and then rested.

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu woke up because of the cold. It was still dark when she opened the window. With the cold wind blowing, she quickly closed the window, put on a cotton jacket, and walked to the backyard.
