Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 771

Chapter 771: Far-fetched Relationship
Lu Jueyu was a little curious, so she walked to the door and asked, “Who is it?”

Outside the door, Li Chenze heard her voice and said, “Third sister-in-law, it’s me.”

Hearing his voice, Lu Jueyu opened the door and asked with surprise, “Eldest Brother, why are you here so early? Did something happen at home?”

“Sister-in-law, I’m here to borrow your bicycle. I want to take your sister-in-law to the county hospital for a check-up. She has been feeling sick, so we postponed it. Now that she feels better, we can finally go,” Li Chenze explained.

“So, it’s like that. Eldest Brother, please come in,” Lu Jueyu said, turning sideways to let Li Chenze in.

Not long after, Li Chenmo walked out of the house with messy hair. He was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He was worried that his wife would be attacked, so he came out to check on the situation.

When he saw his elder brother, he was stunned for a moment and asked, “Brother, did something happen at home?”

Li Chenze smiled and said, “Nothing happened, I just want to borrow your bicycle.”

Recalling that his brother said he would take his sister-in-law for a check-up, Li Chenmo said, “Brother, I don’t need it today. You can take your time. There’s no need to rush back.”

“Thank you,” Li Chenze nodded and followed him to the woodshed.

Before Li Chenze left, Lu Jueyu handed him a bamboo basket and said, “Eldest brother, my sister-in-law may not have an appetite. So, I made some juice and porridge for her.”

Li Chenze took the bamboo basket and said, “Thank you, third sister-in-law.”

Afterward, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Li Chenmo sent his brother out and locked the gate.

While they were busy with their morning routines, Li Chenze rode the bicycle back to his father’s house. After parking the bicycle by the well, he took out the bamboo basket from the basket on the front.

As he walked near his home, he heard the sound of his wife vomiting from the backyard. He walked over quickly and saw his wife was rinsing her mouth with a pale face.

He squatted down beside her, put down the bamboo basket, patted his wife’s back gently, and said, “Wife, if you don’t feel well, let’s go another day.”

Zhang Dongmei waved her hand and said, “You already went to borrow a bicycle. Let’s go for a check up today.”

Since his wife has made her decision, Li Chenze said nothing and helped her up, “Third sister-in-law made breakfast for you. You should eat something before we leave.”

With the support of her husband, Zhang Dongmei came to the living room. Looking at the porridge, salted duck eggs, and orange juice, she thought she was going to vomit again after eating. Unexpectedly, after drinking a few sips of juice, she felt much better.

Li Chenze, who was sitting next to her, was eating his own steamed buns. He was relieved to see that his wife could finally eat and stopped vomiting. It seemed that he might have to trouble the third brother’s family until his wife’s morning sickness passed.

What they didn’t know was that Lu Jueyu put a pinch of spiritual herbs powder on the orange juice and porridge to help relieve Zhang Dongmei’s morning sickness.

After breakfast, the two left with their documents, money and some coupons. They have already notified Father Li before, so there is no need to notify him again. Li Chenze has already heated up the steamed buns. When his father wakes up, he can eat the steamed buns for breakfast.

On the way to the county hospital, the two met several villagers going to work. Seeing them riding Li Chenmo’s bicycle, one of them said with yearning, “It’s great to have a family with a bicycle.”

After hearing what he said, another villager said, “Isn’t your daughter already of marriage age? Just ask your future son-in-law for a bicycle as a bride price.”

The villager shook his head and said, “Do you think it’s easy to buy a bicycle? Even if you have money, you can’t buy it if you don’t have industrial coupons.”

“After all, only those in the military or working in the government can have such a blessing,” another villager added.

“I heard from my distant relative that she has a marriage relationship with the Xiao family from the previous generation. If there is an emergency, I can ask her to borrow Xiao Li’s bicycle,” a middle-aged woman said.

Noticing the gossip, everyone gathered around curiously.

“Sister-in-law, are you sure you can borrow a bicycle from Xiao Li through your distant relative?” a young woman asked doubtfully.

“Of course, we are very close, and she can be said to be a distant relative of Xiao Li. Her great-great-grandfather was the paternal cousin of Xiao Li’s great-great-grandmother,” the middle-aged woman explained.

After hearing her words, everyone suddenly lost interest. This kind of relationship is too far-fetched. Everyone knows how bad the relationship between Xiao Li and the Xiao family is.

Not to mention borrowing bicycles, it would be nice if Xiao Li did not throw rotten eggs at the sight of the Xiao family.

“Sister-in-law, let alone how far the relationship is, even if they are cousins, your distant relative may not be able to borrow it. After all, Xiao Li has been kicked out by the Xiao family, and he has not been in contact with the Xiao family in these years.”

“Who said it’s impossible?” the villagers said with dissatisfaction.

“Then lend it to us,” another villager provoked her.

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she was angry at being doubted, and said, “Just wait. I will ask my distant relative to borrow it from Xiao Li and show it to you.”

After saying that, she entered her house while grumbling.

Seeing her leaving, everyone dispersed with anticipation, waiting to see how she would borrow the bicycle. The problem does not lie with Xiao Li but with Liu Hua.
