Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Lu Jueyu’s Decision
Lu Jueyu looked at the distribution of the farmland, and there was no end in sight. She estimated that the land might be more than one hundred hectares. Many canals were built on the farmland as an irrigation system.

Seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn’t help but let out a low laugh. She had never known her imagination to be so active, to dream of places like this. Thinking about it, she didn’t know when she would wake up. She can’t be trapped in a dream forever, can she?

When she wanted to leave, her eyes suddenly blurred, and she returned to her room. When she appeared, she was standing in the middle of the room. She was startled by the sudden situation. She looked at the birthmark in shock. Could it be that she also obtained a golden finger after transmigrating?

With this discovery, she was ecstatic. If it was true, then she wouldn’t have to worry about not getting enough to eat. When she felt happy, her sleepiness suddenly returned. The moment her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.

The next moment Lu Jueyu woke up, it was already dawn. She was lying on the bed in a daze when her second sister-in-law, Wang Muxiao, came in with a bowl of porridge.

Seeing that she was awake, Wang Muxiao asked with a smile, “Jueyu, how are you feeling?”

After putting the bowl on the bedside table, she touched Lu Jueyu’s forehead to check her temperature. Feeling that her body temperature had returned to normal, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “This time, you really scared us. Fortunately, you are blessed and recovered.”

“I’m sorry for worrying everyone.” Lu Jueyu said softly.

Hearing her words, Wang Muxiao was a little surprised. Although it was admitted by everyone that her husband’s sister was beautiful, she was illiterate. Often, though she is soft-spoken, her words are rough. But this time, her tone was not only polite and gentle, but she even spoke better than the educated youth.

Wang Muxiao couldn’t help but say, “Yuyu, you seem to have changed.”

Lu Jueyu had already thought of an excuse if someone asked about her personality change. She smiled, looked at Wang Muxiao, and said, “Everyone will change after a near-death experience.”

Thinking that what she said made sense, Wang Muxiao didn’t ask any more questions, and handed the porridge to her. Unlike Chen Anwen who is taciturn, Wang Muxiao is someone who likes to gossip. In just one day, she learned about Li Chenmo’s situation from his neighbors.

Although she is stingy and likes to gossip, she is straight-forward, simple-minded, and doesn’t have a bad heart. She likes Lu Jueyu a lot as not only can she help her take care of her daughter, she also shares food with her family when she earns some money. Therefore, when Wang Muxiao heard the news of Li Chenmo’s injury, she hurriedly told her in-laws.

At this moment, she had trouble holding back her words. As someone who has a loose mouth, telling her to keep a secret was harder than ascending heaven. She really wanted to tell Lu Jueyu, but when she remembered her mother-in-law’s warning, she could only swallow her words.

Wang Muxiao had an expression worse than that of a constipated person, and said, “You rest more, I’m going to help mother.”

Before Lu Jueyu could react, she left the room as if she was being chased by a ghost.

Lu Jueyu was stunned by Wang Muxiao’s reaction.

After she finished her porridge, Mother Lu entered the room with a frown.

Lu Jueyu looked at her worried face and asked, “Mother, is something bothering you?”

Mother Lu glanced at her, sat on the bed and didn’t speak. She seemed to be in a dilemma, and Lu Jueyu didn’t urge her, but just waited for her to express her thoughts.

After a while, Mother Lu finally looked at her and said, “Yuyu, your fiancé, Li Chenmo, is back.”

Hearing what her mother said, she was a little puzzled, wondering why her mother looked so troubled. Their wedding date is approaching. Isn’t it normal for her fiancé to come back?

“Mother, is something wrong with him?” she asked tentatively.

“He has retired from the military,” Mother Lu said with a sigh.

“Isn’t it great for him to have retired from the military? At least I don’t have to worry about his safety after I marry him.” She said with a smile.

Seeing that she didn’t understand what she meant, mother Lu added, “Yuyu, he is only twenty-four years old. He is in his prime, and for him to leave the army at such a young age, there is only one reason. He was injured, which may affect his health in the future. Do you understand what that means?”

Lu Jueyu really didn’t understand and shook her head. Mother Lu looked at her with a complicated gaze, and said, “Maybe he will be lame in the future.”

This time, Lu Jueyu finally understood, and asked in surprise, “Is his injury serious? How is he doing now?”

“Are you worried about his injury rather than your future?” Mother Lu asked in surprise.

“Mother, what do you mean? Is it wrong for me to worry about him?” Lu Jueyu asked back confusedly.

“So, even if his injury may cause him a lifelong disability, you still want to marry him?” Mother Lu asked again.

“He saved my life, and both families agreed to the marriage. If I left him when he was down, wouldn’t I become a ruthless and cruel person? Mother, do you want your daughter to be that kind of person?” Lu Jueyu asked her back.

Mother Lu was speechless when she heard her question. She couldn’t refute her words at all. She worries about her daughter’s future if they continue the marriage. But if they called off the marriage, their daughter’s reputation would be ruined.

In the end, she could only sigh and say, “You have grown up, and mother can no longer make decisions for you. Just do it in the way you think is appropriate.”
