Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 61

Yang Lichao
Seeing the other person’s face, Li Chenmo frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Li Chenmo, if it wasn’t for you, Lu Jueyu should be my wife now! You should call off the engagement, or I won’t be polite to you!”

Hearing this, Li Chenmo’s face darkened, and said with a sneer, “With your little capability, you dare to threaten me?”

The other person showed the rod on his hand and said, “You are just a cripple! How dare you ruin my good things? Lu Jueyu is my woman!”

Duakh! Crack!

As soon as he finished speaking, a punch hit him in the face, making a loud noise. With just one punch, he was sent flying several meters away, hit the table in the living room, and then fell to the ground.

“Cough!” He spat out a mouthful of blood together with his two front teeth. His nose was broken by the punch and crooked.

“Ah!” Before he could react, Li Chenmo stepped on his chest and looked at him coldly from above.

“Yang Lichao, you better watch your words. If you dare to call her name with your dirty mouth again, I will definitely make you regret being born!” Li Chenmo said through gritted teeth.

As he spoke, he slowly increased the strength of his legs. He looked at Yang Lichao who was struggling desperately and wanted to break free from him. When Li Chenmo remembered that this bastard was the one who plotted against Lu Jueyu before, his anger became more intense, and he stepped on Yang Lichao’s chest harder.

“If not because of you, Jueyu wouldn’t have to endure those malicious rumors for two years. But, I should thank you. If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t have gotten engaged to me and become my wife.” Li Chenmo let out a chuckle. He looked even scarier than King Yama at the moment.

“Please… Spare me.. I promise I won’t dare again…” Yang Lichao said weakly as he tried to move Li Chenmo’s feet from his chest. He felt that his ribs were about to be broken by Li Chenmo.

CRACK!

“Argh!” Yang Lichao screamed as he felt a severe pain in his chest.

Li Chenmo heard the sound of bones breaking, and reluctantly moved his feet away from Yang Lichao’s chest. He looked at Yang Lichao who was curled up on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t worry, you won’t die. I only broke one of your lower ribs. This is a warning to you. If you dare to bother my wife again in the future, it won’t be as simple as breaking one of your ribs.” Li Chenmo said nonchalantly.

Yang Lichao could only bear the pain and nodded. Seeing that he already understood what he meant, Li Chenmo said, “Scram!”

Yang Lichao crawled towards the door as if he had been pardoned. Li Chenmo stood at the door, watching him climb to the fence and slowly climb out. After Yang Lichao left, he went to get a rag to clean up the blood on the ground. After he was done, he took out a brazier and lit the charcoal. The charcoal in the living room was lit, and with the window opened, the smell of blood dissipated before Father Li came back. Satisfied, Li Chenmo went to sleep.

Before noon, the news that the only son of the Yang family had been beaten had spread throughout the entire brigade. There was such a big commotion that even Lu Jueyu who stayed at home heard it. Some villagers said that Yang Lichao was covered in blood when he was found. When he was sent to the county hospital, he almost couldn’t make it. At this time, he was still in a coma due to a broken rib and nose.

Just when the women were excited by this gossip, most of the men were busy as they were hired by Han Yuheng to help renovate the ancestral house of the Li family.

At noon, Zhang Dongmei pushed a cart full of steamed buns and pickles for the helpers. Behind her, Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu each held a large pot of tea. When they arrived, Li Chenze rushed over to help his wife and children.

Seeing that the lunch was ready, Han Yuheng shouted, “Everyone, take a rest first. Let’s have lunch.”

When everyone heard his words, they stopped working and went to wash their faces and hands in the river behind the house. Although the weather was cold, their bodies were covered with sweat. Since the house has been vacant for a long time, there are many places that need to be repaired. Fortunately, the beams and columns were all intact. So, the work can be done in two days.

For this job, their salary is three yuan for two days. Add in lunch and tea, the pay is really not bad. Under normal circumstances, they will only be given lunch while working, and will treat dinner after work is over by the host. This is the first time they have received money as payment. Arguably, they violated government regulations because it was a private transaction.

At first no one dared to take the job, but with Han Yuheng’s guarantee, they finally took the job. Because everyone benefits from it, no one talks about the salary. When people ask, they would say that they were given lunch, and then invited to dinner after the work is finished.

After everyone washed their hands, they went to get two steamed buns and a cup of hot tea. Since the steamed bun is made of white flour, even with only pickles, it tastes better than coarse grain steamed buns.

Father Li and Li Chenze families were eating under the peach tree when Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu walked over. Seeing that they were having lunch, the two walked over and sat across from them. Before Li Chenxuan took the steamed buns, Father Li closed the lid of the basket and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Although Li Chenxuan was very unhappy because he didn’t get the steamed buns, he didn’t dare to do anything under the watchful eyes of his elder brother. He smiled sheepishly and said, “Father, I heard that you are renovating our ancestral house. So, we came here to see if there is anything we can do to help.”
