Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 607

Chapter 607: Rubbing Salt In The Wounds ( 2 )
“What’s more, when Chenmo was carried back due to injury, everyone said that he would become a useless person, but Jue Yu was still willing to marry him and take care of him. Isn’t that much better than the hypocrites who despised him when he was injured and wanted him when he was healed? Some people ah, they can only spread mean rumors because they can only dream about having what other people have,” Aunt Su added.

Hearing this, the old woman frowned and asked, “What do you mean by this?”

Aunt Su straightened her back, looked at the old woman, and said, “Aunt Mu, as an elder, you should not talk about other people’s affairs behind their backs. If you are jealous of Jueyu, you can tell your husband and sons. After all, you are old. You should stay at home and enjoy your old age, instead of working in the fields while your daughter-in-law stays at home.”

The villagers laughed after hearing her words. Although Grandma Mu is fierce with others, she is afraid of her youngest daughter-in-law.

Every time she was asked to go to work, her daughter-in-law would threaten to take her son and run away from home. Grandma Mu’s youngest son is afraid of his wife, so he will take his wife’s side and even threaten to separate from the Mu family if his mother forces his wife to work in the fields again.

Because Grandma Mu was worried that her son would really leave home, she could only take a step back and agreed to let her daughter-in-law do housework and not work in the fields.

But everyone knows that after working in the fields, Grandma Mu is still the one who cooks, while the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are responsible for cleaning and washing the clothes. Because of this matter, the Mu family has never been peaceful.

Grandma Mu was very angry because Aunt Su poked her sore spot in public. She looked at Uncle Su and said, “Su Erlang, won’t you do something to your wife?”

Uncle Su seemed to have heard nothing and looked at Aunt Mu, asking, “Aunt Mu, what do you mean? What should I do to my wife?”

Seeing him pretend as if nothing happened while his wife was rubbing salt on other people’s wounds, Grandma Mu gritted her teeth and said, “Both of you, just you wait.”

Aunt Su sneered at her words, “Since you like to talk about other people’s private matters, you should also accept others talking about your private matters.”

Uncle Su looked at his wife helplessly. Aunt Su knew that her husband didn’t want the situation to become too embarrassing, so she stopped talking and continued working.

At the same time, Li Chenmo arrived at Li Chenze’s home. Since the gate was opened, he walked into the yard and saw his brother repairing the fence.

Seeing him coming, Li Chenze stopped what he was doing and asked, “Third brother, what brings you to my house today?”

“Brother, my wife wants to visit Li Shu and Han Liling in the county hospital. So, I need your help to take care of the children.”

Li Chenze wiped his sweat, nodded and said, “No problem. I will pick them up from school later. They can have lunch at my house. Your sister-in-law just learned a new recipe from your wife and wants to try it today.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Then, the children will be left to you. My wife and I will probably be back before dinner.”

“Okay, don’t worry.”

“Thank you, brother. My wife is still waiting for me at home, so I will take my leave first.”

When he got home, Lu Jueyu was already waiting for him. Seeing that her husband was covered in sweat and dirt, she walked over, wiped the dirt off his face with a towel, and said at the same time, “Husband, let’s go to my space. After lunch, you can take a rest first, and then we go to the hospital.”

“Mhmm.”

After locking the door, they went to the bedroom, and Lu Jueyu led the two of them to her space. Appearing in the space, Li Chenmo took a hot bath while Lu Jueyu went to prepare lunch.

Ten minutes later, she saw that her husband walked toward her with his hair still wet.

“Husband, dry your hair well, otherwise you will catch a cold,” she reminded him.

When he was in front of his wife, Li Chenmo took her into his arms, kissed her lips, and said, “Wife, don’t worry. I will dry it after lunch. Let’s eat first, I’m hungry.”

Hearing that he was hungry, Lu Jueyu could only nod, “Okay.”

For lunch, she made seafood fried rice, herbal chicken soup, tomato salad, and peach ice tea.

Due to the heavy workload, Li Chenmo was really hungry and ate more than usual. With the addition of herbal chicken soup and tomato salad, his appetite was greatly increased.

Seeing that he was eating so fast, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, eat slowly, otherwise you will get indigestion.”

Li Chenmo nodded, but still ate very quickly. When Lu Jueyu finished a bowl of fried rice, he had already finished the remaining rice and was drinking chicken soup. Fortunately, despite the speed with which he ate, he never suffered from indigestion.

After lunch, Li Chenmo cleared the table, put the bowls and plates in the dishwasher, and then went to the living room to get a book. Instead of a textbook, he got a romance book. When he walked into the bedroom, he saw his wife already waiting for him on the bed.

Seeing him coming, Lu Jueyu waved to him and said, “Husband, now it’s your turn to read a book for me.”

Li Chenmo showed her the book in his hand and said, “I will read this book to you today.”

“Okay!”

After Li Chenmo got into bed, he leaned against the headboard, put his right arm around his wife’s shoulder, and held a book in his other hand.
