Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 763

Chapter 763: The Xiao Family ( 3 )
Lu Jueyu even thought that this was a good thing. With their help, she only had to cook, and the work of preparation and cleaning was left to them. This way, she won’t feel too tired and has enough time to prepare everything.

So they can even prepare these snacks for guests to enjoy before the wedding reception. When they arrived at Xiao Li’s house, it was only ten o’clock in the morning, and there were still four hours before the banquet.

Most of the villagers only had a simple breakfast before coming over. Seeing that the host had even prepared snacks, they couldn’t help but lick their lips and touch their bellies.

When Aunt Su and Aunt Lin saw her coming with so many people, they came out to greet her.

“Jueyu, what’s wrong? Do you need help?” Aunt Lin asked.

Putting the pot in her hand on the table, Lu Jueyu said, “Aunt Lin, Aunt Su, and my sister-in-law’s relatives came to help with the cooking. So, we have a lot of free time.”

She opened the lid and said, “We decided to make some wonton soup and scallion pancakes as snacks for the guests.”

Hearing her words, Aunt Lin and Aunt Su both looked at the bamboo baskets filled with hot scallion pancakes and several pots of hot wonton soup placed on the table.

Aunt Su came closer and said, “Jueyu, you have made so much, will we have enough ingredients for the banquet?”

“Aunt Su, don’t worry. We made this with the remaining ingredients,” Lu Jueyu assured her.

After she finished her words, she added, “I also prepared two bowls of Tangyuan for the bride and groom.”

“Then I will go get it for them,” Aunt Su said.

After saying that, she went out to get the food before going to the bedroom.

At the same time, in the front yard, the villagers saw them serving a bowl of hot wonton soup and a piece of scallion pancake to the guests and felt hungry.

“Sister-in-law, can we also have some wontons too?” one of the villagers asked.

Upon hearing this, the people who came to help did not dare to make a decision and went to ask Lu Jueyu’s decision, “Sister-in-law, the villagers want a bowl of wontons. We only made enough Wontons for the guests. What should we do?”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “Sister-in-law, cut the scallion pancake into three parts, one for each person. Just tell them that we don’t have many ingredients to prepare for everyone.”

The scallion pancakes they make are 25 centimeters in diameter. Even cut into three portions, it’s enough to pad the stomach.

At first, they thought the villagers would be dissatisfied with the pancakes being cut into three portions. But when they informed the villagers, they found that everyone was beaming with joy.

What they didn’t know was that everyone knew about Lu Jueyu’s cooking skills. Therefore, even if they just taste it, they are already satisfied. After all, this is not a wedding banquet, and the host is not obligated to share snacks with them.

Because of this incident, everyone praised Xiao Li and Liu Hua for their generosity, which made the Xiao family very angry.

While everyone was eating, the Xiao family sat at the table in the corner of the front yard, waiting for their portion.

“Grandpa, look at how my cousin spends his money. Even if he doesn’t want to give it to our Xiao family, he should give you some. No matter what, you are still his grandfather. How can he treat you like a stranger?” said one of Xiao Li’s cousins ​​with a hint of jealousy.

Hearing this, everyone understood that he was fanning the flames. Now that someone has taken this matter into his hands, the rest of the Xiao family decided to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

Grandpa Xiao knew that his grandson was fanning the flames, but he still followed his words and said with dissatisfaction, “He is indeed an ungrateful bastard! If it weren’t for me begging for mercy back then, he would have been beaten to death by the patriarch instead of getting chased out of the family!”

“Grandpa, you are right! His mother eloped with another man, and no one knows whether he is the son of our Xiao family. You basically saved his life ah,” Grandpa Xiao’s granddaughter added.

One person spoke, another added, and the conversation at the table became heated. When Lu Jueyu and the two aunts came over, they heard their complaints.

These aunts are neighbors of the Liu family and come to help. They have watched the Liu family’s children and Xiao Li grow up, so they were partial toward Liu Hua and Xiao Li. Hearing their harsh words, both of them frowned deeply.

Sensing their displeasure, Lu Jueyu quickly shook her head at them. They knew clearly that these people were here to ruin Xiao Li’s wedding day. Therefore, no matter how ugly the words are, they can only pretend not to hear them.

As they walked over, Grandpa Xiao’s eldest son noticed them and said, “They finally remembered us. I thought we could only watch when everyone was eating.”

Hearing his sarcasm, Lu Jueyu said with a smile, “Uncle, there are many guests today, but there are few people to help.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged woman at the table next to her said, “Brother, you and your family have been speaking ill of the groom from the moment you sat down. No matter how shameless you are, you should also be self-aware and shut up if you want to eat the host’s food.”

Grandpa Xiao’s eldest son was angered by her words and said, “Who are you to mind my business? I have my mouth on me so no one can control what I want to say!”

The middle-aged woman’s eyes widened with anger and she slapped her chopsticks on the table.
