Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 63

Last Wish
Li Chenze looked at his father worriedly, and said, “Father, the second brother didn’t mean that. Give him time to calm down, and he will realize his mistake.”

Father Li looked into the distance and sighed, “Let him go. From the moment he decided to marry Jiao Siyu as his wife, I knew that this day would definitely come.”

Zhang Dongmei lowered her eyes and did not speak. But she agreed with her father-in-law. The reason their relationship has come to this point is because Jiao Siyu keeps fanning the flames and sowing discord between Li Chenxuan and his family. If her second brother-in-law had married a good girl, the situation today would not have happened.

Because they were so loud, everyone heard what they were saying, but everyone acted as if they heard nothing and saw nothing. They continued to work until it was dark before they finally finished the renovation. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as they finally finished it within the stipulated time. This is the first time they have repaired such a huge house in just two days.

Standing in the front yard, Father Li and Li Chenze were very satisfied with the result. Although only the damaged parts of the house have been repaired, it doesn’t look as dilapidated as before. It was good enough as a wedding house. They can slowly fix the rest.

When everyone was leaving, Li Chenze saw them off and said, “Thank you everyone. Please come to the wedding banquet tomorrow. You don’t need to bring any gifts.”

“We will definitely come, just remember to prepare a good wine.” One of them said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, Brother Wang! I’ll prepare a good wine, especially for you!”

After hearing his words, everyone was overjoyed and left with a smile. After everyone left, Father Li took Li Chenze and Han Yuheng back to Li’s house. After entering the room, they saw Lu Cheng napping on the Kang bed, and Li Chenmo was reading a book.

Seeing them coming, Li Chenmo said, “Father, brother, you are back.”

Father Li looked at Lu Cheng who was snoring, and said, “Third son, this…”

“Jueyu was worried that I was alone, so she asked her second brother to accompany me when he sent over my lunch.” Li Chenmo said, pushing Lu Cheng to wake him up.

After being pushed several times, Lu Cheng finally let out a grunt of displeasure because of being disturbed. He waved his hand and said, “Wife, let me sleep for another five minutes.”

Li Chenmo let out a low laugh, patted his arm, and said, “Second brother, wake up and go back. The sky had already darkened.”

After a while, Lu Cheng finally opened his eyes and looked around blankly. When he looked at Father Li, Li Chenze, and Han Yuheng, all his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He quickly sat up and wiped the drool in the corner of his mouth.

“Hehehe, Uncle Li, Brother Chenze, Team leader, when did you come back?” Lu Cheng said embarrassedly while putting on his shoes.

Seeing him feeling embarrassed, Father Li smiled and said, “We just arrived. Xiao Cheng, thank you for accompanying Chenmo.”

Lu Cheng had already put on his shoes and stood up from the bed. He waved his hand and said, “No problem, no problem. We are one family, this is what I should do. Now that Uncle Li is back, I should go back too. Goodbye.”

Li Chenze sent him off while Father Li and Han Yuheng went to discuss the renovation cost in the living room. They hired 50 people with a salary of 3 yuan. So, the salary was 150 yuan. The material cost was 200 yuan. After calculating the cost of materials and wages, Father Li gave Han Yuheng 350 yuan. The lunch was prepared by Zhang Dongmei, so it only cost 50 yuan to buy the ingredients.

“Team Leader, thank you for helping us this time. If it weren’t for you, the renovation might take several weeks to complete.” Father Li expressed his heartfelt thanks to Han Yuheng.

“Uncle Li, I should be the one thanking you for letting the educated youths live in your home.”

Father Li just smiled and said, “Please come to the wedding banquet tomorrow.”

“I will definitely attend. It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave first. Goodbye, Uncle Li,” Han Yuheng stood up and said.

“Walk slowly.”

After seeing off Han Yuheng, Father Li chatted with Li Chenze for a while and then returned to the house. Li Chenze walked towards his home with a basket filled with ten eggs and a catty of meat. It was given to Zhang Dongmei and the twins by Father Li. In the past two days, they have worked hard. So, the eggs are for them to replenish their health.

Father Li finished washing up and returned to his room. After locking the door, he took out a bundle from the cabinet and opened it. The bundle contained the money he had saved over the years. After paying the renovation fee, he still has 4575 yuan. He took out four thousand yuan and wrapped it in a red cloth. It will be handed over to Lu Jueyu tomorrow.

Since the money was given by Li Chenmo, Mother Li originally planned to give it to the third daughter-in-law when the third son got married. It’s just that she didn’t know who would be the wife of her third son until she passed away. Now, Father Li can finally fulfill his late wife’s last wish.

Father Li hid the red envelope in his clothes, wrapped 575 yuan in old cloth, and put it in the dark compartment of the cabinet. After patting the money in his clothes, he finally fell asleep with a smile. Tomorrow will be a good day.

Early the next morning, before the rooster even woke up, Lu Jueyu was woken up by her mother.

“Yuyu, get up, go wash up. Today is your big day, you can’t sleep in.” Mother Lu urged her with a smile.
