Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Borrow Money
Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water to prepare breakfast. She also remembers to boil medicine for herself. Although she consumes water and products from her space every day, her physical condition is still very weak and malnourished.

While the water was boiling, she went to her own space to make a lot of soy milk. She filled several vats of soy milk before leaving. Each vat can hold 30 liters of soy milk. She cooked a pot of fish porridge in a brazier, and when the water was ready, she filled the thermos flask with hot water. Remembering that her family usually only had some cold coarse-grain pancakes for breakfast, she made some more scallion pancakes. When her brothers and the others come later, they can use it to pad their stomach.

When the sun rose and the rooster crowed, Li Chenmo woke up. Feeling that his arm was empty, he touched the place beside him. He opened his eyes and found that he was alone in the room. When he left Kang bed, he frowned. The doctor had already warned them that Lu Jueyu needed to rest well and not catch a cold. So, he doesn’t plan to let her work these days. Who knew she woke up so early and went out in this cold weather?

When Li Chenmo walked to the backyard, he heard a sound coming from the kitchen. Before he even reached the kitchen, he could already smell the aroma of food. Standing at the door, he saw Lu Jueyu making scallion pancakes.

“Wife, why did you get up so early? Didn’t the doctor say you can’t catch a cold and need to rest?” Li Chenmo asked as he walked towards her.

Lu Jueyu heard his hoarse voice as he just woke up and said with a smile, “Good morning, husband. I’m just making some breakfast and it’s not tiring. I’ll finish my medicine and rest more, don’t worry.”

Li Chenmo knew that she might be stubborn sometimes, so he didn’t say anything. While he wanted her to rest, he couldn’t forbid her to do anything. He will let her do whatever she wants as long as she doesn’t tire herself out.

He stood behind her and hugged her. As he kissed her earlobe, he said, “What did you make? It smells so good.”

Lu Jueyu felt that her earlobe was hot from his kiss. She cleared her throat and said, “I made fish porridge, scallion pancakes, and soy milk for breakfast.”

“Mhmm.” He hummed and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Lu Jueyu was hugged by Li Chenmo while she was cooking and feeling a little embarrassed. She nudged him and said, “I boiled water for you. Go wash up first.”

After a while, Li Chenmo finally let her go and took hot water to the bathroom to wash up. When she was alone, Lu Jueyu patted her chest and muttered, “Heavens, I thought I was going to die of a heart attack. He is so clingy.”

It took a while before her heartbeat returned to normal. Just as she was about to take breakfast to the bedroom, she heard someone calling from outside. Seeing that Li Chenmo was still in the bathroom, she walked to the front yard and opened the door. She was a little surprised to see the person who came so early.

“Aunt Li, why are you here so early?” She asked with a smile.

Aunt Li was embarrassed to come to visit so early in the morning, but there was nothing she could do. She took Lu Jueyu’s hand and said anxiously, “Jueyu, I’m sorry to disturb you so early, but I really have no other choice.”

Sensing Aunt Li’s anxiety, Lu Jueyu said, “Aunt Li, what’s wrong?”

“Jueyu, can you lend me some money? My grandson has had a fever for several days and has not recovered. I want to take him to see a doctor, but the family has no money. I will return it to you when my son returns from the town.” Aunt Li asked embarrassedly.

After hearing her words, Lu Jueyu fell silent. It’s not that she doesn’t have money to lend her, but that she has never had any contact with this Aunt Li and didn’t know her personality at all. She was still hesitant about her sudden request to borrow money. After all, the money was given by Li Chenmo, not earned by herself. If she wanted to lend it to someone else, she had to ask his permission first.

Just when Aunt Li thought she would refuse, she heard Lu Jueyu say, “Aunt Li, I don’t have money to lend you. But I have antipyretic medicine prescribed by the doctor. I can give it to you. Do you want it?”

Aunt Li was a little disappointed after hearing the first half of her sentence. But she was very happy when she heard the second half of the sentence. Everyone knows that Lu Jueyu also had a high fever before, and her family invited a doctor to check on her. It’s normal for her to have some fever-reducing medicine at home with her weak constitution.

“Thank you, Jueyu!” Aunt Li said gratefully.

“Aunt Li, come in first.” Lu Jueyu smiled and stepped aside to let her in.

Lu Jueyu went to her room, while Aunt Li waited in the living room. Lu Jueyu closed the door and went to her own space. She took a strip of paracetamol from the medicine cabinet, ground it into powder, and put it into a small jar. After she was done, she left the space and walked to the living room.

“Aunt Li, give your grandson a quarter teaspoon of this medicine, three times a day, after meals. Remember to let him drink enough water to keep his body hydrated.” Lu Jueyu said while passing the jar over.

Aunt Li took the medicine and said, “Thank you, Jueyu. I will definitely pay you for the medicine when my son returns.”
