Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 616

Chapter 616: Chen Bo
Not long after, they saw Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu coming over on a bicycle. After Li Chenmo parked his bicycle, Lu Jueyu went to get the things in the basket in front and walked towards Zhang Dongmei.

Seeing her coming, she said, “Third brother, Third sister-in-law, you are here.”

“Eldest brother, Eldest sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of the children for me. Here are some snacks for the children.” Lu Jueyu said as she handed over the items they brought.

Zhang Dongmei accepted the gift and said helplessly, “You can just come over, why do you bring so many things?”

“Eldest sister-in-law, you help me take care of the children. This is just a small thank you gift. If you refuse, will I dare to ask the eldest brother or your help in the future?” Lu Jueyu said.

Knowing that her third sister-in-law has this kind of character, Zhang Dongmei could only accept the gift and said, “We are a family and it is normal to help each other. Don’t bring any gifts when you come next time. You have provided a lot of help to me and my family. If you give us so many things too, I will be embarrassed to face you.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said with a smile, “Okay, I will listen to my sister-in-law and won’t be polite to you anymore.”

After saying that, Dong Li and Dong Huang came over to greet them. “Foster father, foster mother.”

Li Chenmo patted Dong Li on the back and asked, “Are you helping your uncle repair the fence?”

Dong Li nodded and said, “Yes, foster father. I learned a lot from my uncle today.”

Li Chenze wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Third brother, your adopted son is really capable. I only taught him once, and he grasped the key points. Maybe his skills will be better than yours in the future.”

“It would be great if that happens. I can enjoy my old age in peace and ease,” Li Chenmo said casually but the hint of pride could be heard from his tone.

When Dong Li heard this, the corners of his lips raised, and his expressionless face softened. After chatting for a while, Li Chenmo said, “Brother, it’s not early anymore, I will take my wife and children back first.”

Looking at the darkening sky, Li Chenze did not hold them back and said, “Okay, be careful on the road.”

Since there were no extra seats in the bicycle, Li Chenmo let the children sit on the bicycle while he pushed it. Lu Jueyu walked beside him and looked at Dong Li, who was holding on to the handlebars, while Dong Huang circled her arms around his waist.

As they were walking home, they saw a man coming from the opposite direction. When the two passed by, Lu Jueyu found that he looked familiar. It took her a long time to realize that this man was Gou Dan’s father, Chen Bo.

Since he rarely returns to Xie Village, his relationship with the villagers is not close. Coupled with the arrogance of his wife and son, the villagers’ enthusiasm for him has become less and less.

The villagers didn’t like him and Chen Bo looked down upon them. So, even though he saw a few good-looking villagers riding a bicycle, he didn’t give them a second glance.

Lu Jueyu didn’t know that she and her family were looked down upon by Chen Bo. She leaned next to her husband and whispered, “Husband, is that man just now Gou Dan’s father?”

Li Chenmo glanced at his curious wife and nodded, “Mhmm.”

“What’s his name?” she asked again.

“His name is Chen Bo. Wife, why did you suddenly ask about him?” he asked her.

“I’m just curious.” Lu Jueyu said lightly.

If she remembered correctly, this Chen Bo was one of the ten-thousand-yuan families in the city after the reform and opening up. The reason he is so successful is because of his wife’s family. But in the original plot, his wife is not named Gao Shun, and his son is not named Chen Jiande.

Although she is curious, she is not close to the Chen family and does not want to interfere in other people’s affairs. Therefore, she threw this matter to the back of her mind and did not think about it again.

When they got home, Li Chenmo parked his bicycle in the woodshed, while Lu Jueyu and the children went to the kitchen.

Dong Li helped light the fire, Dong Huang helped her wash the vegetables, and Lu Jueyu started preparing dinner after she put a pot of water to boil and washed her hands.

Today, in addition to steamed rice with pandan leaves, she also made tomato soup, stir-fry vegetables, grilled fish, boiled eggs with chili and braised pork.

While they were cooking, Li Chenmo washed his hands before he went to the kitchen, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, both of you should go take a shower first.”

Hearing this, both of them nodded and said, “Okay, foster father.”

Li Chenmo helped them bring the hot water from the kitchen to the bathroom. When he came back, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, the children seem to be afraid of you.”

Hearing his wife’s words, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “This is not fear, this is called respect.”

Lu Jueyu glanced at her husband and thought about his interaction with the children. Indeed, as he said, instead of being afraid of him, the children listened to him out of respect. Maybe it’s because he’s their adoptive father so they were more estranged with each other.

With the help of her husband, Lu Jueyu took less than forty minutes to prepare dinner. After bringing the food to the living room, Lu Jueyu said, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, it’s time to eat.”

After hearing her words, both of them stopped doing their homework and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing the steaming food, Dong Huang sat down quickly, pointed at the chili-boiled eggs, and said, “Foster mother, what is this?”
