Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 784

Chapter 784: Hidden Identity
Lu Jueyu was stunned and confused at first. She didn’t remember Li Lingyun has any in-laws because he wasn’t married yet. But after a while, she discovered that her husband was talking about Houzi’s second uncle.

Based on Houzi and Pan Meijia’s relationship, they are indeed her distant relatives. But calling them in-laws would be a stretch. After all, her second brother-in-law has not married Pan Meijia yet.

She looked at her husband’s calm expression and knelt down in her heart. In terms of shamelessness, no one can rival the Li brothers. How could he call them in-laws with a straight face? He didn’t even blush!

Realizing that his wife was looking at him with a complicated gaze, Li Chenmo asked, “Wife, what’s wrong?”

After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu came back to her senses and said, “It’s nothing. Husband, I will wash off the dirt on my body first, and then we will go to greet them.”

“Oh right, there are some cookies and steamed cakes in the kitchen. Help me bring them to the guests,” she added.

Nodding to his wife, Li Chenmo went to the kitchen and put the freshly baked raisin cookies on a bamboo plate. Then, he took out a bowl of brown sugar jujube cake from the steamer, cut it into eight pieces, and placed it on the tray, along with a plate of raisin cookies.

When he came out of the kitchen with snacks, Lu Jueyu also finished washing the dirt on her body. The two went to the living room together.

As soon as they entered the living room, Su Lide’s family stood up. Seeing them, he said, “Nephew, Niece, sorry for visiting so early.”

“Uncle, we are neighbors and will be in-laws soon. More importantly, Meijia is my best friend. So, there is no need to be too polite. My name is Lu Jueyu, and you can call me Jueyu,” she said with a smile.

After Li Chenmo put the snacks on the table, he said, “Everyone, please sit down.”

After Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo took their seats, Su Lide’s family sat down. Lu Jueyu, who was at the same table, observed them with a smile.

As a former top socialite, Meng Qiaoping has good skills in chatting with new people. She smiled and said, “Niece, nephew, this is my son Su Jian, and this is my daughter Su Lanying. You can call me Aunt Qiaoping.”

“We heard about you both from Ah Jun and we hope you can provide us with guidance in the future,” she added.

After thinking about it, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo realized that the Ah Jun she was talking about was actually Houzi. Neither of them knew Houzi’s real name. But based on his relationship with Su Lide, they can guess that his name may be Su Jun.

When this name appeared in Li Chenmo’s mind, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then returned to normal. When he was active in the military, he heard about a hidden special team. This special team was specially trained as spies, who went to various places using a lot of different identities.

Armies were able to win many wars because of their secret information. But the risks of being a spy are high and their families might be put in dangerous situations. So, most of the people who join the team are people without family members.

Among all the agents, there is one who has completed the most tasks, and his name is Su Jun. When Li Chenmo retired from the military due to his injuries, he heard that this agent died during a mission. His death brought great loss to the government and grief to the army.

When he thought that Houzi might be the agent, he felt excited. Even though they worked in different teams, they both served the country and he would be happy if such a great man survived.

Considering Houzi’s current condition, it’s possible that his death was faked as he decided to retire and live as a commoner.

But if he really wants to retire, he should live as a farmer instead of meddling in the black market. Then, another possibility appeared in his mind. Perhaps Houzi has not retired yet, but he has been given a new mission.

But what kind of mission would require him to work as a middleman on the black market?

While Li Chenmo was lost in his thoughts, he heard his wife say, “Aunt Qiaoping, Uncle Su, our village is small and peaceful, so the villagers like to chat in their free time. If you have time, you can go for a walk and get to know everyone. Although some people have bad habits, most of the villagers are good and honest people.”

“My natal family lives in the central region, and my husband’s family lives in the southern region. My second brother-in-law told us about your family’s situation. If you need any help, you can come to us or our families,” she added.

After hearing her words, Su Lide glanced at them and asked, “Nephew, may I know what your second brother said to you?”

“Uncle Su, we all know about your family’s situation, but we guarantee that no one knows except us. We are friends of Brother Houzi, and we promised him that we will definitely help your family,” Li Chenmo assured him.

“Houzi?” Su Lide asked doubtfully.

“Father, Houzi is my cousin’s nickname. People here call him Houzi,” Su Jian explained when he saw her father’s confused look.

Thinking of his nephew’s special status, Su Lide nodded in understanding.

“My family and I want to thank you both in advance,” he said gratefully.

Trying to change the topic, Lu Jueyu said, “Everyone, I made these biscuits and steamed cakes. Please have a try.”

When they first saw the biscuits and steamed cake, Su Jian and Su Lanying had already swallowed their saliva. Although they had already eaten at home, they only ate two steamed buns. As an adult, how can they eat enough with two steamed buns?
