Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 692

Chapter 692: Proposal Day ( 3 )
“Aiyah, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Today is indeed a happy day, but it is not a happy day for my Lin family! Today is a big day for the Liu family ah!” Aunt Lin said with a smile.

The villagers looked puzzled after hearing her words. One of them asked, “Aunt Lin, didn’t Xiao Li prepare these for your niece?”

The moment Xiao Li heard this, he was immediately shocked and blurted out, “What nonsense are you talking about?! I prepared these for Ah Hua.”

Before anyone could react, he added, “Sister-in-law, I don’t know what grudges you have against me, but please don’t throw dirty water on me. It took me so many years before the Liu family finally agreed to the relationship between Ah Hua and me.”

“If Ah Hua rejects me because of your careless words, will you take responsibility? You’d better pay attention to your words, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude,” he added angrily.

The villagers were shocked when they heard this. They always thought that Xiao Li was going to marry Aunt Lin’s niece. It turns out that he still wants to marry Liu Hua, who is obviously an old spinster!

Seeing that the situation turned tense suddenly due to this matter, Lu Jueyu quickly used her sleeves as a cover, took out a bag of maltose from her own space, and said, “Everyone, this is a misunderstanding, just a rumor. Brother Xiao Li and Sister Ah Hua have always had a good relationship.”

“Today is a happy day. Brother Xiao Li has prepared some candies for everyone to share. Everyone, come and have some,” she said and began to share candies with the villagers.

The villagers saw that Xiao Li had prepared maltose to share his joy and stopped asking. Although they felt a little embarrassed due to their misunderstanding, they still went to Jueyu to get some candies.

One of them took several candies and said, “Brother Xiao, congratulations to you and your fiancee. Don’t worry about the rumors. I will scold anyone who dares to spread rumors.”

Xiao Li was angry at their words at first, but after seeing Lu Jueyu change public opinion with a few candies, he finally understood.

There is no need to get angry with these people or argue with them since they don’t care about other people’s feelings at all. The best way to deal with them is to give them a little benefit, which is enough to shut them up and support him instead.

When he came to this conclusion, his mind cleared, and he finally realized that he had used the wrong way to protect his woman all these years. There is no use in escaping, the best way is to face the problem directly and solve it once and for all.

He looked at Lu Jueyu gratefully and kept this lesson in mind. He already owed too much to the Li family and the Lu family, and he would try his best to help them in the future if needed.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Aunt Lin and Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief. Just now they were worried that Xiao Li would get angry and quarrel with others, ruining the happy atmosphere. Fortunately, Lu Jueyu reacted quickly and handled it perfectly.

Both of them looked at Lu Jueyu gratefully and said some happy words to ease the situation. Because the news of Xiao Li sharing maltose candies was spread by the villagers, many children and even adults came to join the fun and get some candies. Before they knew it, their small group had turned into a large group of people.

In the Liu family’s house, Liu Hua, Mother Liu, and the three daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen. As for Father Liu and Liu Hua’s brothers, they were waiting in the living room.

The Liu family has three sons and five daughters, Liu Hua is the youngest daughter. Her four sisters are all married and have children and live far away from each other.

As for the three brothers, the eldest brother lives with his parents, while the second and third sons move out after they separate their household registrations.

Liu Hua is the only unmarried daughter in the family and lives with her eldest brother. But today was the day she was proposed by Xiao Li, so her second and third brother brought their family here early in the morning.

When Liu Hua was making noodles, her second sister-in-law discovered that she had used oil when making noodles, so she asked, “Ah Hua, aren’t you making noodles? Why do you use oil?”

Hearing her second sister-in-law’s question, Liu Hua smiled and explained, “Second sister-in-law, I am making hand-pulled noodles. We need to use oil so that the dough will not stick to your hands and the noodles will be more elastic and chewy.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Qiwan muttered dissatisfiedly, “I don’t know why some people have to waste precious oil for dough. With so much oil, we can make many delicious vegetarian dishes.”

The kitchen is small in size. Therefore, everyone heard her words clearly even if she said it in a low voice.

After hearing what she said, Mother Liu glared at her and said, “Eldest daughter-in-law, if you shut up, no one will say you are mute. Work faster and talk less.”

As soon as the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law noticed that their mother-in-law was unhappy, they stopped talking and sped up their movements. Although Shi Qiwan pouted, she still sped up her hand movements of peeling onions.

Accustomed to her mother’s harsh words, Liu Hua said, “Mother, you can mix the minced beef and chicken with green onions, cabbage, and onions.”

Knowing that her daughter was learning to cook from Lu Jueyu, Mother Liu nodded and said, “Ah Hua, do we need to add some seasoning?”

Hearing this, Shi Qiwan pricked up her ears and tried to learn the recipes. Liu Hua had known for a long time that her eldest sister-in-law wanted to learn Lu Jueyu’s recipe.
