Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Proposal Day ( 2 )
After setting the table, Lu Jueyu went to call the children, while Li Chenmo opened the door.

At this time, in addition to Aunt Lin, Aunt Su, and Xiao Li, the Li brothers and the Lu brothers had also arrived with their wives. Because there were so many people, two tables were set up for breakfast.

For breakfast today, Lu Jueyu made white porridge, fried dough sticks, soy milk, sweet tofu pudding, egg and vegetable steamed buns, and scallion pancakes with pickled vegetables and meat sauce.

Although this was just a simple breakfast for Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu, such breakfast was already considered luxurious in the eyes of Xiao Li, Aunt Lin, and Aunt Su. For them, just having a white-flour steamed bun is considered a rarity, not to mention meat sauce and porridge made from white rice.

As far as food is concerned, they feel that Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu have given them a lot of face. Therefore, their mood increases with eating. After eating, they help clear the table and wash the dishes.

After the children went to school, Li Chenmo went to take a shower and changed into a set of clean clothes. Unlike everyday clothes, this outfit looks new without any patches.

Seeing his clothes, Aunt Lin said, “Chenmo, your clothes look great. Did your wife buy them in the city?”

Hearing her question, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Aunt Lin is joking, we don’t have that much money to buy clothes in the city. These clothes were made by my wife. It took her a long time to finish them.”

Hearing his words, they thought of the wedding dress made by Lu Jueyu.

“Chenmo, you are so lucky. Your wife is really a talent,” Aunt Lin added while observing his clothes.

After hearing what they said, Li Chenmo just smiled and did not continue the topic.

After everyone arrived, Aunt Lin quickly distributed the things she wanted them to carry. As for heavy objects such as a sewing machine, a pair of pig’s trotters, and several baskets of fruits, they were placed in Li Chenmo’s bicycle’s carts.

After everything was ready, the sky brightened. Aunt Lin looked at the sun’s position and said, “It’s almost time. Let’s go now, otherwise, we will miss the auspicious time.”

Today is the day when Liu Hua is being proposed. Lu Jueyu doesn’t want to miss the excitement, so she locks the door and follows behind them.

When Li Chenmo knew about this, they were already halfway to the Liu family’s house. He looked at his wife and said helplessly, “Wife, didn’t you agree to stay at home? Why are you following us all of a sudden?”

Lu Jueyu pulled her husband’s sleeve and said, “Husband, I also want to join in the fun. On the day you proposed, I was busy in the kitchen and missed the conversation. This time, I finally had the chance to see how things were going. Can’t you just let me follow?”

Li Chenmo was defeated when he saw his wife acting cute to him. He sighed and said, “Okay, but if you feel tired, you must tell me. We will go back first.”

Lu Jueyu knew her physical condition well. She was sure that she would not feel tired even if she cooked for ten hours without stopping, let alone just sitting and chatting.

So, she nodded and assured her husband, “Husband, don’t worry. I promise I won’t force myself. If I feel tired, I will let you know immediately.”

“Mhmm.”

Hearing her husband’s agreement, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Thank you, husband.”

As the sun rose, villagers came out of their homes one after another and started working. When they saw Xiao Li walking side by side with Aunt Su and Aunt Lin, followed by the Lu family and Li family, carrying many beautiful bamboo baskets, they knew that today Xiao Li was proposing.

When they saw what was in the bamboo basket, they were all surprised. They didn’t expect that Xiao Li could prepare so many things in just a few days. They were already calculating how much money he needed to spend to prepare these things, and they were praising Aunt Lin’s niece for being so lucky.

But when they saw a sewing machine, a radio, a bicycle, several pots and pans, and two pairs of leather shoes, their eyes widened in shock. Some even rubbed their eyes, thinking that they were still dreaming.

It was impossible for an orphan like Xiao Li to afford these things. So someone must lend money to him. They want to know who this person is, so that if they need money urgently, they can go to this person to borrow some money.

Out of curiosity, the villagers followed them to join in the fun. Aunt Lin and Aunt Su smiled at each other when they saw the villagers looking at the bamboo baskets with envy and admiration.

They were full of pride, raised their chins, puffed out their chests, and walked towards the Liu family’s house with smiles on their faces.

When they arrived near the Lin family’s house, a villager who was relatively close to Aunt Lin finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, congratulations ah!”

Upon hearing her congratulations, Aunt Lin and Aunt Su both looked at her with puzzled faces.

Seeing that they did not understand what she meant, the villager added, “Sister-in-law, today is a happy day for your family ah! You should tell us in advance so that we can help you. We are neighbors and should be closer than distant relatives.”

After saying that, she glanced meaningfully at the Lu family and the Li family.

After hearing her words, Aunt Lin was confused at first. However, recalling the ridiculous rumors she heard yesterday, she finally understood. The neighbor misunderstood and thought that Xiao Li was going to propose to her niece.

As a qualified matchmaker, Aunt Lin could not afford to offend her customers. So, she just used direct words to clear up the misunderstanding.
