Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: The Original Soul
Lu Jueyu and the girl looked at each other for a long time, before the girl finally said, “Lu Jueyu, I envy you for having a bright and beautiful soul.”

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu knew that she was the original soul. She looked at her and said, “Everyone is born with a beautiful soul, including you.”

The girl smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind words, but I know what I am. I was created by God with a gloomy and timid personality. My life is destined to be short. Even the people I trust and love the most will betray me for others in the future.”

“Lu Jueyu, thank you for your love and care for my family. In order to repay your kindness, I will give you something important in this world,” she added with a smile.

“What is it?” Lu Jueyu couldn’t help asking.

The girl looked at her with a smile and said, “You will know when the time is right. Farewell, Jueyu.”

When her body began to disappear, Lu Jueyu saw a look of relief in her eyes as if she had been liberated from a shackle. Before she could speak, she felt something prick her body. Feeling the pain, she hissed and felt something suck her in before she slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing that she was awake, Li Chenmo rushed to her side, held her hand, and said, “Yu’er, you finally woke up! You scared me to death.”

Lu Jueyu turned her head and saw Li Chenmo’s head was lowered as he held her right hand. When she felt his trembling hands holding hers were cold, she felt guilty and said weakly, “Husband, I’m sorry for making you worry. I’m fine now.”

Li Chenmo took a few deep breaths before controlling his emotions. After calming down, he raised his head and said with a reddened eyes, “Wife, please don’t scare me like this again. My heart can’t take it.”

Looking at his expressions, Lu Jueyu’s heart ached and she said, “Husband, I’m sorry.”

The doctor stood aside and watched for a while before saying, “Okay, don’t be so dramatic. Your wife is fine. Let her rest for a few days and she will recover.”

Li Chenmo still had worries in his heart. His wife suddenly fainted and there was no way she would be fine. He looked at the doctor and asked, “Doctor, what’s wrong with my wife?”

“She just has menstrual pain. Her body is weaker than others and after falling into the river in winter, her body was penetrated by cold air. That’s why she experiences more pain. Boil these medicines in two bowls of water until only half a bowl is left. Drink it twice a day for ten days. After she finishes taking the medicine, she still needs to nourish her body properly.” The doctor said while packing the dried herbs.

“Both of you should pay more attention to this matter. It will be very difficult for you to conceive if her body is not properly nourished.” The doctor added while handing the ten packets of medicine to Li Chenmo.

Li Chenmo took the medicine, and asked, “Doctor, how much is it?”

“The consultation fee is fifty cents, and the medicine is two yuan.” The doctor said casually.

Lu Jueyu was surprised when she heard the price quoted by the doctor. Didn’t it say that private transactions are not allowed in this era?

The doctor glanced at her and said, “As long as no one talks about this, will the government know about it?”

After hearing his words, she finally understood. Going into the mountains to collect herbs is tiring and dangerous. The doctor can’t do this for free. Everyone will get sick, so no one is foolish enough to report him even if they need to pay to see a doctor and get the medicine. If they offend him, what if they get sick and need his help? What’s more, the hospital’s prices are much more expensive than this doctor’s.

Since they were only going to visit Lu Jueyu’s parents, Li Chenmo didn’t bring any money. He looked at the doctor and said, “Doctor, we don’t bring any money right now. Can I pay you tomorrow?”

The doctor is not unreasonable, he knows that villagers rarely bring money with them unless they go to the town. So he nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Thank you, doctor.” Li Chenmo said gratefully.

“Bring your wife back and let her rest. Do not touch cold water or eat cold food for the next few days.” The doctor reminded them.

“Alright.”

Li Chenmo bent down and carried Lu Jueyu on his back. When she hugged his neck, Lu Jueyu noticed his pale lips, and a thought flashed in her mind. At first, she thought he was pale due to shock. But then she thought that when she fainted, he must have panicked and could not have walked slowly. Therefore, he may have carried her all the way as he ran. Although he can now walk without crutches, he has not fully recovered from his injuries yet.

After reaching this conclusion, she hurriedly said, “Husband, I can go by myself.”

Li Chenmo said nothing and walked outside. After leaving the doctor’s house, he still had no intention of letting her walk by herself.

“Husband, put me down.” Seeing that his neck and forehead were covered with cold sweat, Lu Jueyu said worriedly.

“No. I’ll carry you back.”

Hearing his answer, Lu Jueyu was so worried that she couldn’t stay still. Thinking of his stubbornness, she became angry and said, “Husband, put me down, or I will get angry.”

Li Chenmo paused for a moment and continued walking. This time, he refused to speak to her or look at her. He stared ahead and walked home resolutely.

Lu Jueyu knew that no matter what she said, he would not listen to her this time. So she buried her face in his shoulder and said nothing. She just hoped his leg was okay. Otherwise, if something happens to him, she will blame herself for the rest of her life.
