Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 819

Chapter 819: Virtuous Son-in-law
However, Li Shu had no intention of letting him know. This way, she can break off the relationship and Chen Jianmin can pursue his bright future and marry a woman who can help him instead of becoming a burden to him.

Not sure what she was thinking, Chen Jianmin stood at the school gate and looked at her back, lost in his thoughts.

He laughed softly when he remembered the cute girl who gave him cold steamed buns when he was four years old.

At that time, his food was always stolen by Gou Dan, and he often went hungry from morning to night time. That day, he was so hungry that his stomach was burning and he thought he was going to die after being beaten.

When he was about to faint, she came and gave him a piece of cold steamed bun. He knows the situation at her home was not good and the food must be what she has for lunch.

He didn’t want to eat her food, but she fed him water and steamed buns piece by piece until he finished her food.

She also told him that she would marry him and take care of him for the rest of his life so that he would no longer go hungry. From then on, she shared her lunch with him and he no longer had to endure the burning pain of hunger.

At that time, he vowed in his heart to work hard for her and become a better person. In the future, he will definitely repay her a thousand times and never let her feel hungry.

They even picked a beautiful stone from the river, split it into half, carved their names on it, and used them as their engagement tokens. But after she got a high fever one day, she stopped coming to play with him.

Her personality also changed dramatically, as if she matured overnight. He went to see her several times, but she no longer remembered him or their promise.

Thinking about the past, he reached into his neck and took out a necklace made of five-color strings. Looking at the small stone pendant tied on the necklace, he frowned deeply.

“I shouldn’t have waited until I settled things at home and should have gone looking for her earlier. I didn’t expect that my little bride would forget our engagement. What should I do now?” Chen Jianmin said to himself as he walked back to his home.

At the same time, in the capital, Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia came back from walking around the compound.

At this point, almost everyone who lives here knows about their relationship. When they returned to the Pan family’s house, they found that the neighbors were watching them in whispers.

Seeing this, Li Lingyun leaned down and whispered, “Jia Er, it seems that everyone finally knows that I am yours.”

Pan Meijia blushed when she heard his shameless words and felt his hot breath brushing her ears. She nudged at him and said, “Brother Yun, we are in a public place. You should pay attention to your behavior.”

Li Lingyun did not listen to her words. Instead, he blocked the neighbors’ eyes with his body and kissed her earlobe. His kiss was as fleeting as a dragonfly touching water.

Before she could react, he had straightened up his waist. Although the kiss only lasted less than a second, Pan Meijia felt that her ears were burned. She touched her earlobe and stared at him with a red face.

Li Lingyun was satisfied with her reaction and reminded, “Jia Er, open the door.”

After coming back to her senses, Pan Meijia quickly took out her house key and opened the door. Then, as if being chased by a beast, she rushed into her room.

Looking at her fleeing back, Li Lingyun chuckled. Since Father Pan was at work and Mother Pan had lunch at a friend’s house, he went to prepare lunch for the two of them.

He checked the kitchen for a moment, memorizing the locations of ingredients and seasonings. Seeing that the food he sent was carefully preserved, he smiled.

Those fruits and vegetables that rot faster than other ingredients are all pickled by Mother Pan. As for cured meat and smoked duck, they can be stored for a long time. Therefore, they are stored in a jar.

Flours, grains, oils, seasonings, etc. are stored in a large cabinet. Mother Pan only used a small jar to hold those daily necessities. That way if people come to their house they won’t know how much food they have.

Li Lingyun agreed with his mother-in-law’s idea. It’s best to be wary of other people because no one knows what other people are thinking, lest they get into trouble because of them.

After checking the ingredients, he rolled up his sleeves and started washing and steaming the rice. Then, he started preparing the ingredients for fried rice.

It’s best to use overnight rice for fried rice, but it’s still delicious with freshly steamed rice. He washed and chopped onions, carrots, scallions, peas, cabbages, and an ounce of lean pork.

When he has prepared the vegetables and meat, the rice is ready. He took the rice out of the steamer to cool. Then, he goes to heat a wok, pours in a tablespoon of oil, and adds chopped onions. He sautéed it until lightly browned, removed it from the wok and set it aside.

After the wok cooled down slightly, he beat two eggs, added a few drops of soy sauce and sesame oil, and set them aside.

Then, he poured half a spoon of oil, poured the eggs into the wok, and made an egg roll. When finished, he cuts the eggs into long strips.

He then poured a spoonful of oil into the wok and added the meat, carrots, peas, and cooked onions. He sautéed it for about two minutes, then added the rice, green onions, and cabbages.
