Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 696

Chapter 696: Sharing Joy
Aunt Lin took the paper with a stiff smile and said, “In-laws, then the wedding will be held on May 1st. We will prepare everything. So, you can rest assured.”

Mother Liu nodded and said with a smile, “With Sister Lin and Sister Su organized the wedding, I believe nothing will happen and everything will go smoothly.”

Her words put a lot of pressure on Aunt Lin and Aunt Su. If something goes wrong during the wedding, it will leave a stain on their matchmaking career. Therefore, they can only put in 200% effort to ensure nothing goes wrong.

“That’s a matter of course.” Aunt Su said with a smile.

After they finished discussing, Mother Liu stood up and said, “In-laws, I’m going to check on the preparation of the meal.”

After saying that, she walked to the kitchen and saw that the meal was already prepared. She looked at the pile of dishes on the table and said, “Ah Hua, why are you making so many steamed buns? It would be such a waste if we can’t finish it.”

Liu Hua stirred a large pot of bone soup and said, “Mother, with such an expensive bride price and betrothal gifts, if we don’t share some good things with the villagers, they will say we are stingy. I will share these steamed buns with everyone who is here today.”

“We made the size smaller so we didn’t use a lot of ingredients,” she added.

After listening to her words, Mother Liu nodded and said, “Then let’s do as you said.”

Standing at the kitchen table, she saw that the buns were half their normal size. Although it is small, it is very fragrant and is also made with white flour. Therefore, giving it to the villagers will not make them think that the Liu family is stingy.

After the soup was cooked, Liu Hua said, “Mother, the meal is ready. I’m going to wash up and change clothes first.”

“Okay.” Mother Liu nodded.

When Liu Hua took a quick bath, Mother Liu saw her granddaughter cooking noodles silently. She walked up to her and found that the noodles looked delicious even without the soup and sauce.

She rubbed Liu Fuyan’s head and praised her, “Ah Yan doing very well today. Thank you for helping out.”

Liu Fuyan was very happy to be praised. She looked at her grandma and said, “Grandma, this is what I should do.”

Although Liu Fuyan’s face showed nothing, Mother Liu knew that her granddaughter was the type who likes being recognized and praised for her work. So, she added, “Good girl.”

The noodles were ready, and Liu Hua returned to the kitchen. She bent down and took out two jars hidden behind a bamboo basket under the kitchen table.

Seeing this scene, Shi Qiwan’s eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t know when Liu Hua hid this jar, otherwise, she would definitely take some back for her family to try. After all, it must be a good thing if she hid it like this.

Mother Liu saw her daughter hiding the jar and asked, “Ah Hua, what is this?”

“Mother, this is Jueyu’s special spicy oil and meat sauce. It will be added to the noodles.”

The moment she opens the lid, they can smell the unique aroma of chili pepper and oil. Coupled with the aroma of meat sauce, they felt hungry.

Liu Hua poured a large ladle of bone broth on the noodles prepared by Liu Fuyan, put half a spoonful of chili oil, and then added a spoonful of meat sauce and some green onions on top. After she finished, she put it on the tray and said, “Mother, what do you think? It looks great, right?”

Mother Liu looked at the tempting noodles and nodded, “It looks very appetizing and delicious. Jueyu is indeed a master!”

When the main course is ready, they start serving the dishes and noodles. When the onlookers saw that the Liu family had served the food, they couldn’t help sniffing and touching their stomachs.

By this time, the sun had risen high and it was time for lunch. Although they are hungry, they don’t want to leave and hope to get some food or snacks.

While not every family shares snacks or food with onlookers during their joyous day, most families who receive a good bride price share their joy.

Not long after, Liu Fuyan and her second aunt came out carrying a big bamboo basket. Seeing this scene, the villagers were very excited.

When she arrived at the door, Liu Fuyan said, “Hello everyone, thank you for coming here and celebrating this happy day with our family. This is just a small gesture from our family. Please line up in order.”

At first, the villagers thought the person handing out snacks was the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family. So, when they saw that it was a little girl, they smiled and planned to ask for more.

But when they stood in front of her, they saw her looking at them expressionlessly and only gave them a steamed bun each. After that, even if they asked for it again or refused to leave, she would just stare at them without speaking.

In the end, they couldn’t bear her gaze and could only accept a steamed bun and leave. Although some people were not satisfied with the size of the buns, most of the villagers were happy because the buns contained meat and were very delicious.

It took her half an hour to finish sharing the meat buns. After that, Liu Fuyan closed the door, locked it, and then went to the kitchen. Not long after, she came back with a bowl of noodles and two roasted drumsticks.

She sat on a low stool, eating and watching over Liu Hua’s bride price. While everyone was enjoying lunch inside, she noticed a few people who tried to steal from the basket. But with her sitting there, they didn’t dare to do anything.
