Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 59

Map
After washing her face, Lu Jueyu goes to the chicken coop and fills up the feeders and water bowls. She noticed that after the chickens ate the water and chicken feed from her space, they became stronger and produced more eggs each day. Now, they lay at least four to five eggs a day which is illogical.

She picked up the eggs, placed them in a bamboo basket, and went to wash them. There are 25 eggs in total. If they are lucky, they will be the ones with double yolks between the eggs. As a chef, she knows how to differentiate eggs and separate double yolks from other eggs. Of the 46 eggs in the kitchen, a total of 12 eggs may contain double yolks.

She stores the double yolk eggs in her space and the rest in the cabinet. After filling up the water tank in the kitchen with the water from the space, Lu Jueyu started to make breakfast. The weather is so cold today, so she made ginger milk, scallion pancakes, and meat buns.

After making breakfast, she stored some food in her own space. She walked to the backyard and saw that it was not yet dawn, so she thought of the old men in the cowshed. At this time, their production team did not have much work. So, their food will be reduced too. Thinking of their situation, she took a basket from the cupboard and walked towards the cowshed.

Fortunately, it was still dark and no one noticed her. When she arrived at the cowshed, she heard people arguing and there was a sound of beating coming from inside. She was worried about the old men, but she couldn’t go in and expose herself. This would put her family and even Li Chenmo in danger. In the end, she could only wait anxiously behind the tree.

Not long after, she saw Xiao Yiqing walking out of the cowshed with obvious anger in her eyes. She spat out and threw a rod to the bush before leaving. After confirming that she had left, Lu Jueyu hurried to the cowshed. As soon as she entered, she saw that the old men were injured. They had bruises on their faces and blood on their arms or legs.

“Grandpa, are you okay?” Lu Jueyu walked towards them quickly, checking their injuries.

“Hiss… little girl, we’re fine. It was just a small wound.” said an old man while taking a deep breath in pain.

“Grandpa, let me see your wounds. You can’t leave them untreated in the winter. It could lead to bigger problems.” Lu Jueyu persuaded them as she helped them lean against the wall.

Before they could react, she took out a bamboo tube filled with water, a piece of clean cloth, and a jar of ointment for wounds from her space using the bamboo basket as a cover. She poured water on the cloth and began to wash the wound, then applied ointment. It took her fifteen minutes to treat their wounds.

When she was done, she handed the ointment to them and asked, “Grandpa, what does Xiao Yiqing want from you?”

“You know her?” an old man asked.

“Yes, she arrived a few days ago. She is from the capital and is one of the educated youths sent by the government.” She nodded.

Hearing her words, the elderly snorted and said, “What educated youth? She is just a greedy vermin! She came to force us to hand over our map.”

“What map?” Lu Jueyu asked.

The old man realized his slip of the tongue and turned his head away, avoiding her gaze. Lu Jueyu guessed that this map might be the location where they buried their wealth before they were sent to reform farms. She didn’t have any intention of wanting anything from them. Therefore, when the old man didn’t want to continue this topic, she didn’t force it.

“Grandpa, next time she comes to beat you, you should report her to team leader Han.” She reminded them.

“It’s useless. She is an educated youth, and we are criminals. If we report this incident, not only will we not get the justice we deserve, but it will cause more trouble. So, let’s forget about it.” The old man said wearily.

Hearing the old man’s words, Lu Jueyu fell silent. In the end, she could only sigh, and took out a few bamboo tubes filled with ginger milk, some scallion pancakes, and meat buns from the bamboo basket.

She handed it to them and said, “Grandpa, I’m getting married tomorrow, so I can’t come as often as now. You need to take care of yourself. If you need anything, you can tell my sister-in-law. As long as I can, I will help you.”

The old man took the hot food and said, “Little girl, we have nothing to give you, we can only wish you happiness.”

“It’s enough to have your blessing. It’s late now, I have to go. Grandpa, see you next time.”

After leaving these words, Lu Jueyu hurried back to her home. As soon as she put away the bamboo basket, the Lu family members woke up one after another. She went to wash her hands and then brought the food to the living room. Before long, everyone was already sitting around the table.

Seeing that Pan Meijia was only sitting in her room, Lu Jueyu waved to her and said, “Sister Pan, come and have breakfast together.”

Although Pan Meijia had a stomach ache due to hunger, she still shook her head and said, “Thank you, Sister Lu. I’m not hungry.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud noise coming from her stomach. Mother Lu glanced at her and said, “Come and eat while the meal is still hot.”

With Mother Lu’s consent, Lu Jueyu went to pull Pan Meijia from the room and let her sit beside her. As the only outsider at the dinner table, Pan Meijia felt very uncomfortable. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Father Lu picked up the chopsticks and said, “Let’s eat.”
