Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 959

Chapter 959: I’m Sorry… I Really Don’t Know.
Lu Jueyu nodded at her husband’s question and said firmly, “More than them.”

Before he could ask again, she continued, “You are more important than my parents, my brothers, even our children.”

“Wife, we haven’t had a child yet. How do you know that I am more important than our child?” Li Chenmo asked.

“Husband, even if I give birth to a child, you will be the one who will accompany me throughout my life. When our children grow up, they will start their own families and leave us. So to me, you are the most important,” she said with a smile.

‘For you, I’m willing to sacrifice anything, even my own life and memories. Yi Yan, you are my most important person in our previous life, our current life, and in the countless lives to come,’ she thought in her heart.

The moment these thoughts appeared vague memories of the moment before her death flashed through her mind.

‘Yu’er, I’m sorry for everything. No matter where you are, I will find you. I love you.’

Her husband’s trembling voice sounded in her mind, or more accurately, Yi Yan’s voice. The fuzzy memory became clearer, and she saw Yi Yan’s eyes looking at her with reluctance, sadness, guilt, regret, and love.

The next moment, the image of her husband dying alone leaning against the cold tombstone on the mountain flashed in her mind. She knew without anyone having to tell her that this must be her husband’s countless past lives’ memoriy.

In these countless lives, he always died young and alone. And all she left him in those lives was her cold tombstone.

A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and fell to the ground silently.

Li Chenmo was stunned when he saw his wife suddenly crying. He held his wife’s hand tightly and asked, “Wife, why are you crying? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Lu Jueyu saw similar but different faces in front of him merged into one. When she came back to her senses, she found her husband looking at her anxiously.

The same faces, the same voice, and the same soul.

How many lives did he go through before he found her?

How much pain has he endured in his countless lives?

Thinking of her husband’s expression and last words in his previous lives, Lu Jueyu felt that what she had sacrificed was nothing at all. Her pain was just a drop in the ocean compared to her husband’s.

She lowered her head, tears rolling down her cheeks and falling to the ground one by one.

This time, Li Chenmo was really panicked. He didn’t care about anything and just put the sacks down.

He pulled his wife into his arms and asked, “Wife, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying like this? Did I do something wrong? I will listen to you. I’m sorry, please don’t cry, okay?”

When Lu Jueyu heard this, she cried even harder and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m the one who’s sorry. I’m sorry, I don’t know… I really don’t know.”

Li Chenmo couldn’t understand his wife’s words, but his intuition told him that his wife’s mood was fluctuating now. He could feel her sadness, guilt, and remorse.

He patted his wife’s back gently and said softly, “Yu’er, it’s okay now. I’m here.”

After hearing what he said, Lu Jueyu nodded and buried her head on her husband’s chest.

The villagers frowned when they saw them hugging each other like this. But when they learned what had just happened, they just sighed and said nothing more.

They just looked at Li Chenmo with pitiful eyes and thought, ‘Having a timid and weak wife is not easy ah!’

Seeing the looks of the villagers, Li Chenmo could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. He stood motionless until his wife calmed down.

Feeling the gazes around her, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, let’s go home.”

Seeing his wife’s embarrassed look, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, “Okay, let’s go home.”

He picked up the sacks, carried it with a stick, and walked home with his wife.

The villagers were relieved to see that they finally stopped hugging each other. Everyone was uncomfortable seeing the couple embracing in public.

They didn’t want to get in trouble for not reporting the couple, but they also didn’t want to report it because, thanks to the couple’s family, they could still eat meat even though it wasn’t the New Year.

So, everyone could only pretend to be busy and ignore the couple.

After Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo returned home, they put the bamboo baskets and sacks in the kitchen.

In a low mood, Lu Jueyu decided to have a simple meal. She took out flower buns from the space and steamed them.

As for the dishes, she took out a jar of meat sauce, fried chicken, and fried spring rolls from the space. When the buns were ready, she made a pot of egg drop soup.

After dinner was ready, they had a meal together with the children and then went back to their room to rest.

Meanwhile, in the Chen family’s house, Chen Jianmin was busy in his room. He wore the rubber gloves given by Dong Li and covered his face with a cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes.

The family had already had dinner and everyone returned to their rooms. Tonight, he planned to visit the villagers who were causing trouble in the school at noon.

He didn’t want to take their lives, but they had to pay for what they had done. He had warned those children to watch their words. Since they didn’t listen to his warning, it didn’t hurt that he gave this gift to their parents.

After several hours of hard work, he finally completed the extraction of the poison from the cassava peel. He had no idea what was in the cassava skin, but he had once seen a man nearly die from eating raw cassava.
