Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 685

Chapter 685: Truth, Return
After covering the compartment with stones and grass, Li Chenmo returned home as if nothing had happened. As soon as he washed the dirt on his hands and face, he saw his wife walking out of the underground warehouse.

This underground warehouse was discovered while they were making wine recently. Perhaps because their courtyard was built hundreds of years ago by the ancestors of the Li family, there are several underground warehouses and even an ice cellar.

When they found out about this, Lu Jueyu was the happiest. With the underground warehouses, they can store food, wines, and other things. They can also use this as a cover when villagers begin to doubt their food supply. In the worst-case scenario, they would take them directly to see the warehouses to eliminate their suspicions.

Seeing that her husband was back, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, you are back. Have you finished your business with my brother?”

Li Chenmo walked to his wife, leaned over to kiss her, and asked, “Mhmm. Wife, what are you doing down there?”

“Husband, I just finished cleaning the warehouse. I filled it with grain, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and flour. I also put some wine and pickles in it. In this way, there is no need to worry about people seeing me taking out the items from my space,” she explained.

Hearing her words, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “This is much safer than before. We should fill half of the warehouse so that the food will not spoil.”

“En, I only filled one-third of the warehouse,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

“Wife, do you know the situation of your eldest sister-in-law’s family?” Li Chenmo asked.

“I heard about it from my sister-in-law. Didn’t they already buy food?” she asked.

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “They did, but according to your elder brother, the price has gone up again. So, I told your brother that we will lend them the food and they can return it to us after the distribution day. This way they don’t have to spend money to buy food at high prices.”

After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Then we will do as you say. When will my brother come to collect grain?”

“Maybe tomorrow morning. Your brother said he wanted to send you some seafood. We can give him the grain tomorrow and take him to see the warehouse.”

“Okay,” Lu Jueyu nodded.

In the hospital, Li Shu was looking out the window in a daze. Although she was feeling better, she still needed to use an oxygen mask.

At this moment, she began to recall the memories in her past life before she fell into darkness. The man’s face appeared in her mind, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

Thinking of him, she thought, ‘I hope he can live a good life and forget about me.’

The more she thought about her previous life, the sleepier she felt. After a while, she fell asleep without realizing it. She just felt like her body was like a light feather, floating in the air. The feeling of uncertainty frightened her.

Just when she thought she would be trapped in this place forever, she heard a young voice calling her, “Li Shu.”

Hearing this voice, she opened her eyes suddenly and saw a girl standing in front of her. It took her a while to realize that this girl was her younger self.

She stretched out her hand and asked, “Who are you?”

The girl smiled at her and said, “I am you and you are me. We are the same person but also different people.”

Hearing her words, Li Shu found that she had returned to her own body, the body of a twenty-eight-year-old woman.

“Are you the Li Shu of this world?” she asked.

Young Li Shu nodded and said, “Yes, but in the past few days, I went to your world and met him.”

Li Shu was stunned and asked, “How can you see him? Didn’t I already die there?”

Young Li Shu shook her head and said, “We exchanged souls when we were at the gate of death, but you did not die. An old man told me that we should go back to where we belong.”

“I have been waiting for you for a long time. It seems that you also want to return to your own world.”

After a moment of silence, Li Shu said, “Is it okay for you to go back? Your mother may end up in jail, and your father wants to divorce her.”

Young Li Shu smiled and said to her, “Even then, I want to go back. I promised my father that I would never leave him. I am also worried about my silly brother. If I am gone, he will be bullied by other children. What should he do if that happens?”

Li Shu hesitated for a long time before saying, “You… do you know that you are not the biological daughter of the Li family?”

Hearing her words, young Li Shu was silent for a long time before saying, “Before, I could never figure out why my mother hated me so much. I used to blame myself for not being what my mother expected. But after arriving in your world, I finally know the truth.”

“After all these years, it turns out that it was not my fault. If my mother hated me, there was nothing I could do because it was her own problem,” she added.

Recalling how she felt when she learned that she was not the biological daughter of Li Sang and Chen Lina, the adult Li Shu asked, “Don’t you hate her? She took away your happiness and the opportunity to be with your biological parents.”

Hearing her words, young Li Shu smiled and said, “At first, I hated her. But after understanding her mental condition, I no longer hate her. With her character, no matter what she does, she will never be able to find happiness. That was her punishment and that was enough for me.”
