Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 598

Chapter 598: Chen Jianmin’s Surprise
Knowing that many villagers were speaking ill of Dong Li and Dong Huang behind their backs, Lu Jueyu smiled at the villager and said, “Good morning, aunt. Today is my daughter’s birthday, so I made some red eggs to share with her classmates and teachers. It’s rare for me to have free time so I want to send my daughter and son to school today.”

Hearing her address the Dong siblings as son and daughter so smoothly, the villagers looked at each other. She was so young, but when her husband adopted two children who had no family relationship with them, she didn’t refuse at all. They have been married for several months but there’s still no movement in her belly. It seems that the rumors about Lu Jueyu’s infertility are true.

Indeed, what is the use of having a pretty face? In the end, she failed to do her most important task as a wife. If a woman cannot bear children for her husband, the husband has the right to divorce her. It seems that when Li Chenmo loses the novelty of being newlywed, he and his wife are more likely to divorce.

When this thought appeared in their minds, some of them had already planned to introduce their unmarried daughters to the Li family after Li Chenmo divorced his wife. Although she will become the mother of the Dong brothers and sisters, she is only an adoptive mother, so it is still acceptable.

Looking at their expressions, Lu Jueyu knew that the villagers must be thinking about bad stuff about her and her husband’s matters again, but she didn’t care at all. She trusts her husband and their relationship.

She reached into the bamboo basket, using it as a cover, and took out a package of roasted nuts from her space. After that, she handed it over to them and said, “Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, these are some roasted nuts I made yesterday. Please have a try.”

When the villagers saw the roasted nuts, their eyes lit up. While roasted nuts are not uncommon, villagers are reluctant to spend money to buy it. Therefore, they rarely eat it unless there is a celebration or festival.

What’s more, Lu Jueyu’s cooking skills are well-known throughout the entire brigade. The snacks she makes are delicious, even better than those sold in department stores or state-owned supply stores.

Thinking of this gift and Lu Jueyu’s previous words, an old woman suddenly understood what was going on. She accepted the roasted nuts and said with a smile, “Aiya, Jueyu ah, there is no need for this.”

“Auntie, it’s just some snacks to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. I just hope she can grow up safely and have a happy childhood. Please take good care of my daughter and son in the future.”

Hearing her words, everyone understood that Lu Jueyu did not want them to continue talking ill about the Dong siblings’ life experiences. Now that she has admitted that they are her children and protect them openly, the villagers will certainly give her some face.

Not only because she gave gifts generously, but also because neither the Lu family nor the Li family were people they could offend. Unless they want to be beaten like Chen Lina, they should change the way they treat the Dong siblings.

“Of course! You don’t have to worry about that. Thank you for the snacks, Jueyu.” The old woman said with a smile.

The villagers said a few words of blessing to Dong Huang, and after they agreed to her request, Lu Jueyu took the children and left. Soon after leaving, the villagers sighed while eating roasted nuts and talked about how lucky the Dong siblings were.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Jueyu and her adopted children finally arrived at the Chen family’s house. Today is the third day of Grandpa Chen’s funeral, and the eldest son has not returned from the city yet. So, the Chen family decided to wait for him. If he hadn’t come on the fifth day, they would have had to bury Grandpa Chen because his body could not be kept any longer in the current temperature.

At first, they thought that because Chen Jianmin was injured and that due to his grandfather’s funeral, he would take a break from school for a few days. But when they arrived at his house, they saw him walking out of the house carrying a bag made of gunny sack.

When Lu Jueyu saw his bag, she felt that children in this era were so pitiful. They couldn’t even afford proper bags, so they had to use gunny sacks to make their school bags.

Just when she felt sorry for Chen Jianmin, Dong Huang had already walked up to him and said with a smile, “Good morning, classmate Chen Jianmin! How are you today? Does your injury still hurt?”

Chen Jianmin was stunned by her several questions and bright smile. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, “Good morning, classmate Dong Huang. Thanks to the ointment your brother gave me, I’m much better now.”

Hearing this, Dong Huang nodded and said, “It’s great that you feel much better.”

“Classmate Chen Jianmin, today is my birthday. My adoptive mother made some red eggs to share with my friends. Wait a minute, I’ll go get some for you,” she added.

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to Lu Jueyu and said, “Foster mother, can I give Classmate Chen Jianmin two red eggs?”

Lu Jueyu smiled at her, nodded, and handed her two red eggs and a handful of milk candies. She patted her head and said, “Of course, here you go.”

“Thank you, Foster mother.” Dong Huang said, and then walked up to Chen Jianmin.

Chen Jianmin was a little surprised to see her return with two red eggs and a handful of milk candies. He didn’t expect that someone would be willing to share such good things as eggs and milk candies with others just to celebrate an adopted daughter’s birthday.
