Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 965

Chapter 965: Food Poisoning
“Wife, thank you for your hard work,” Li Chenmo said while holding his wife’s soft hand tightly.

“Let’s eat first while the food is hot,” Lu Jueyu said.

When the family was enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Chen Jianmin had just finished cooking in the kitchen.

Although Wu Yahui can cook, her cooking skills are so-so. The food is edible, but not as delicious as Chen Jianmin’s cooking.

After he learned cooking skills from Dong Li and Lu Jueyu, his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. So, the Chen family decided to let him cook whenever he had time.

Wu Yahui smiled when she saw the dishes. Since their son befriends Dong Li and Dong Huang, their quality of life has improved. Not only do they have snacks and fruits to eat almost every day, but they are also full at every meal.

Tonight’s dinner includes Mapo tofu, mushroom soup, wild vegetable pancakes, and braised fish. The staple food is corn steamed buns.

Wu Yahui and Chen Gang used the corn and barley brought back from the mountains by Chen Jianmin to make flour. With this, the family no longer has to worry about not having enough food before distribution day next year.

After the food was served, Wu Yahui said, “Husband, children, it’s time to eat.”

Not long after, Chen Gang walked out of the bedroom with the children. When they saw these dishes, their mouths immediately started to water.

Chen Jianmin looked at his family and said, “Father, Mother, please try the mushroom soup. I picked it near the bamboo forest and it was very fresh.”

Chen Gang was grateful and proud of his son. He nodded and said, “Ah Min is indeed very capable.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianguo felt ashamed and lowered his head. He feels as if he is a burden to the family.

Since he was adopted by his second uncle, he hardly helped with anything, but he ate and used their things. They even sent him to school and gave him lots of good things to nourish his health.

When Chen Jianmin saw this, he just smiled and said, “Father, I will also take Ah Guo to the mountain with me in the future.”

When Wu Yahui heard this, she said hesitantly, “Ah Min, let Ah Guo help at home. The mountain was too dangerous, and his health was not good. What if…”

Before she finished speaking, Chen Gang interrupted his wife, “Wife, if Ah Min can do it, then Ah Guo can do it too. More importantly, our children are not alone in the mountains. There are Li Chenmo and Dong Li, with them, our children will be safe.”

Chen Jianguo hesitated for a while and finally said, “Mother, I’m in good health now. My brother said that I could follow him when I became stronger. So, I will exercise more to make myself stronger. Please let me go and don’t worry.”

Looking at her sons and husband, Wu Yahui could only suppress the worry in her heart and said, “Okay, then let’s do as you said, Mother believes in you.”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Chen Jianguo’s face. He nodded and said, “Thank you, Mother.”

“Okay, let’s eat,” Chen Gang said with a smile.

The dishes look rich, but the ingredients are actually very ordinary. After eating a sumptuous meal, they cleared the table, washed the dishes, and then returned to the bedroom.

At the same time, at Dr. Xie’s house, Li Shu glanced at the villagers who came to visit. She recognized these people as soon as she saw them.

Dr. Xie frowned while he took the villager’s pulse and asked, “Did you eat something bad or raw?”

The villager shook his head and said, “No, our family eats steamed buns for lunch and the same food at night.”

Dr. Xie nodded and wrote down the villagers’ information in his notebook.

Then he wrote the prescription on a small piece of paper, handed it to the villager, and said, “Go get the medicine. Boil two bowls of water until it is reduced to half a bowl. Drink three times a day. Take the medicine for three days and you will recover.”

“Thank you, Dr. Xie.” The villager said and put three yuan of medical fees and medicines on the table.

Dr. Xie took the money, put it in the box, and said, “Next one.”

After the villager finished with the consultation, he walked up to Li Shu and said sheepishly, “Girl, your grandfather asked me to get the medicine.”

Li Shu nodded and took the prescription. After looking at it for a while, she wrapped the dried herbs in a piece of recycled paper. After she bundled the medicine, she handed it to the villagers and said, “One pack a day. Each pack can be cooked three times.”

The villager took the medicine and said, “Thank you.”

When she was busy packing medicines for the villagers, Li Shu discovered that most of the villagers who came for consultation had similar symptoms.

Most of them experience dizziness and headaches, while others with heavier symptoms experience vomiting and rapid heartbeat.

Thinking of what happened at the school gate, Chen Jianmin’s face flashed in her mind.

‘Does the current situation have anything to do with him?’ she thought inwardly.

She had heard many rumors about Chen Jianmin before, but she never believed them. After all, the Chen Jianmin she knew was not as ruthless and vengeful as the rumors said.

He is gentle, understanding, diligent, and generous. He didn’t blame Gou Dan for bullying him for so many years. So, how could he cause these villagers to get sick just because of yesterday’s matter?

These villagers must have eaten something unclean and got food poisoning.

Given the current situation, it’s not surprising that villagers are picking some mushrooms to add to their food. Most of the mushrooms growing in the foothills are edible, but some may look harmless but are actually poisonous.

After reaching this conclusion, Li Shu felt the knot in her heart disappear and she breathed a sigh of relief.
