Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 891

Chapter 891: Bragging
Lu Jueyu looked at the sparkling water and didn’t notice anything strange. The water is still as clear as before.

She knelt down and scooped some water up to her nose. After taking a whiff, her eyes widened in surprise.

“Why does the water smell like spiritual grass?” she muttered.

After hesitating for a moment, she took a sip of water. This time, she was sure the lake was different from before. Previously, although the lake water was cool, it only tasted better than filtered water.

But now, not only does it taste similar to spiritual grass, but its efficacy is also similar to it. She didn’t know if this change was good or bad.

Since the farmland is irrigated with lake water, isn’t the quality of the product much better than ordinary plants?

If that’s the case, how is she going to sell the product to anyone else?

When this idea appeared in her mind, a transparent screen appeared in front of her. Looking at the screen, she saw a string of words.

[The lake effect can be set in the settings panel. ]

Seeing this scene, Lu Jueyu’s heart sank. This was the first time her space responded to her thoughts. Before, she needed to explore the functionality of the space on her own. But now, the space seemed to answer her question.

Is her space now sentient?

As soon as the thought occurred, the screen buzzed and the text changed.

[ No. ]

Looking at this word, Lu Jueyu only felt cold in her limbs.

‘Who will believe it after you answer my question again?’ she thought.

Since she couldn’t figure out what was going on, she decided to stop thinking. After the summer harvest, she will discuss this matter with her husband.

But now, she needs to turn off the lake’s water’s effect on farmland first.

After she finished setting the space, Lu Jueyu went to pack lunch. In addition to preparing lunch for her husband and Dong Li, she also prepared some mung bean soup and aloe vera juice for her family and her husband’s family.

After putting everything into a big bamboo basket, she left the space and went to the balcony to read.

At the same time, in the north farmland, Dong Li was teaching Meng Qiaoping how to tie rice straw.

For someone who grew up in a wealthy family and had never been to the fields, the task of bundling rice stalks was not easy for her.

Since the rope was made of dry vine, her hands were injured and blistered after working for a few hours. Feeling the pain, she gritted her teeth and continued working.

Seeing the blood stains on the dried vine, Dong Li frowned and took off his gloves. The gloves were given to him by his mother to protect his hands.

As a boy, it was acceptable for his hands to get hurt and he was used to it. So, he handed the gloves to Meng Qiaoping and said, “Grandma Meng, your hand is injured and bleeding. You can use these gloves, which can protect your hands.”

Seeing the pair of gloves, Meng Qiaoping quickly said, “Thank you, Xiao Li, but no need. Your mother prepared these for you, so just wear them.”

Dong Li is not used to convincing others. So, after hearing her words, he just put the gloves into her hands and said, “Grandma Meng, I’m going back to work.”

Before Meng Qiaoping could speak, Dong Li had already walked away. Since he was so insistent, she could only accept it.

At first, she thought wearing gloves would make her feel hotter because the material was thick. But after putting it on, she felt less hot and less painful. The gloves are also non-slip, which makes her work faster.

While she was happy, other villagers looked at the gloves with envy. Among all the people responsible for tying rice stalks, Meng Qiaoping is the youngest.

Although she is in her forties, she still looks like someone in her thirties due to her pampered life.

Looking at her fair skin, one of the middle-aged women asked, “Sister-in-law, you look so young. How old are you this year?”

Hearing this, Meng Qiaoping smiled and said, “Sister-in-law is joking, how can I look young? I am 42 years old this year and my son is already 22 years old.”

“Sister-in-law, I heard that you have a daughter. Didn’t she join us?” Another villager asked.

Meng Qiaoping nodded and said, “My daughter was born prematurely and is physically weak. She can’t work in the fields, so I asked her to cook.”

“Oh, what a shame. I’ve met your daughter. She looks beautiful.”

“How old is your daughter?” another asked.

“She is 16 years old this year,” Meng Qiaoping said with a smile.

Hearing this, a middle-aged woman said with a hint of sour tone, “Your daughter has reached the age of marriage. But she is born frail. No matter how beautiful she is, it is difficult to find a suitable partner. What a pity ah.”

“This must be hard for you,” another added with a sigh.

As soon as Meng Qiaoping heard this, she knew that they were not sorry for her. Instead, they gloated about her situation.

Because she was new to the village, she didn’t want to quarrel with them.

So, she pretended not to understand the meaning and sighed, “Isn’t that so? Just a few days ago, we received a letter from the city. Our former neighbors asked us if we agreed with their son’s marriage proposal.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers’ eyes lit up. One of them did not hide his curiosity and asked, “Sister-in-law, do your neighbors want to match your daughter with their son?”

Meng Qiaoping sighed and said, “Even if this is the case, how can I let my daughter marry so far away with peace of mind? So, I can only reject their intentions and apologize.”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed, feeling that it was a pity that they had rejected a good match. While most of the villagers believed her, some thought she was bragging.
