Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 866

Chapter 866: Separation ( 1 )
As the sun set, Li Lingyun, Li Chenze, and Pan Meijia finally arrived at Xie village. When the villagers saw them returning with several bags, their eyes were full of curiosity.

Since it was getting late, Li Chenze first sent Pan Meijia back to the Lu family, then sent Li Lingyun back home, and returned the bullock cart to Zhang Ermu.

After unloading all the things, Li Lingyun carried them into his house, placed them in an empty room, and then went to take a shower. Because the temperature was high, he stood directly by the well and took a cold shower.

After washing the dirt off his body, he felt refreshed and went to bed. Although he was physically strong, carrying several heavy bags and traveling long distances really made him exhausted. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep and even snored.

Early the next morning, Li Chenmo woke up earlier than usual. Seeing that his wife was still sleeping soundly, he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. He covered his wife with a thin quilt and left the room to boil water.

After washing his face, he went to the chicken coop to check and replenished feed and water. He put the eggs into a bamboo basket and put them in the kitchen.

When the water was boiling, Lu Jueyu walked into the kitchen. Seeing that her husband had prepared hot water, she said, “Good morning, husband.”

Seeing her sleepy look, Li Chenmo smiled, kissed her gently and said, “Good morning, wife.”

“How are you feeling now?” he asked.

“I don’t feel the pain anymore,” Lu Jueyu said.

Li Chenmo observed his wife for a while and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had recovered. He patted her head and said, “I have prepared water for you. You go and wash up first.”

After pouring boiling water into the drinking water tank, Li Chenmo went to the pig pen, and Lu Jueyu started preparing breakfast.

As the summer harvest was approaching, the school decided to give the children a holiday until the end of the summer harvest. This way the children can help work and earn work points,

Every villager is preparing harvesting tools, including Song Hai’s family. Different from the peaceful daily life in Li Chenmo’s family, the situation in the Song family is very tense.

In the kitchen, the three daughters-in-law are preparing breakfast. But instead of cooking, the three of them were arguing.

Zhao Ya stood at the dining table, pointed at the empty rice vat, and said angrily, “Eldest sister-in-law, Second sister-in-law, I don’t mind if you take some of our food to your natal family. But you should leave us enough food.”

“How can you take everything away? There’s still a month until distribution day and we have nothing now. What should we eat?” she asked.

Wu Huning stood in front of her, folded her arms, and said with a frown, “Third sister-in-law, you need evidence to say this. Otherwise, it is slander. I never brought anything back to my parents’ home.”

After hearing her words, Zhao Ya was so angry that her eyes darkened. She staggered back a few steps before holding on to the kitchen table to steady herself.

She looked at her second sister-in-law and asked, “Second sister-in-law, are you saying that you also didn’t bring anything to your parents’ family?”

Ping Qing shrugged and said helplessly, “Third sister-in-law, I don’t know why you want to slander me. I have already told you that I didn’t take the food.”

“But if you insist on blaming me, there’s nothing I can do. After all, our father-in-law believes your words, not us,” she added meaningfully.

Zhao Ya lowered her head after hearing this. Since the last time Mother Lu came to see her son, her father-in-law seemed to be more partial to her husband and their family.

Because of this partiality, the relationship between her husband and his brothers was not as good as what it used to be. She didn’t know if Wu Huning and Ping Qing said anything to their husband, but the situation at home was tense. Even the children rarely play together anymore.

Wu Huning saw this and sneered, “I knew you must have secretly hidden the food. Now you are treating us as scapegoats and blaming us for everything. I didn’t expect you to be such a person. Zhao Ya, you hid your rotten personality so deeply.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ping Qing took a breath, looked at Zhao Ya with wide eyes and was full of shock as she said, “Third sister-in-law, how could you do this? You clearly know that our food is limited. How can we survive if we take it back to your parents’ home?”

Zhao Ya was stunned by their words. She looked at them in disbelief and said, “You two obviously took away the food! Why do you blame it on me?”

Knowing that Zhao Ya was timid by nature, and coupled with the pressure from Wu Huning and herself, Ping Qing was sure that they could pin this responsibility on her.

Faced with their accusations, Zhao Ya was so angry that she was speechless. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes due to suffocation she felt in her heart.

Just when she thought everything would be as normal, with her sisters-in-law getting the food and her being the culprit, she heard Song Hai’s stern voice coming from outside.

“What are you three arguing about so early in the morning?”

Hearing his voice, the three of them looked towards the door and saw him standing there, followed by their husbands.

Seeing his wife crying, Song Li gritted his teeth and walked towards her. He held her hand and said, “Wife, I’m sorry. I won’t let you be wronged anymore.”

Zhao Ya was surprised by her husband’s words and looked at him doubtfully. But before she could ask what he meant, she heard him say, “Father, please allow me to separate from our family.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
