Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Due to Li Jingqian's loud voice, his maternal uncles and their families also heard his words. While they heard this, they had no intention of asking about the situation, let alone offering help.

As they watched from their houses, Mother Zhang had already run out from the kitchen while holding a ladle. The moment she saw her grandson, she asked, "Ah Qian, what's wrong?"

The moment he saw his grandmother, Li Jingqian took several breaths to calm down and said, "Grandmother, my mother will be giving birth. My father told me to come find you."

Hearing this, Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, she asked with doubt, "Ah? Why didn't you come earlier?"

Seeing that his grandmother still had time to ask, Li Jingqian pulled at her hand and said anxiously, "Grandmother, you should pack up quickly. What if my baby sister comes out before you even arrive?"

Knowing her daughter's personality, Mother Zhang chuckled at her grandson's words and said, "Ah Qian, don't worry. Your mother will be fine. She might not give birth right away and we may have to wait until evening."

After saying this, she went to the kitchen to extinguish the stove and brought the food she had prepared for her husband into her house.

Seeing his wife coming with his grandson, Father Zhang asked, "Ah Qian, what brings you here today?"

Li Jingqian was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. As he paced in the room, he replied, "Grandfather, my mother might be giving birth soon. My father told me to call my grandmother over."

Hearing this, Father Zhang nodded and said, "Wife, go pack up and take a look."

Mother Zhang nodded and said, "If you need anything, just come find me at your son-in-law's house."

"I know, just go," Father Zhang nodded and waved his hand.

Half an hour later, Mother Zhang finally went back with Li Jingqian. Considering his grandmother's health, he didn't run back but walked. As he carried her bag, he held her hand to make sure she wouldn't trip.

Meanwhile, Li Jingxu had already informed Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia and was now waiting at his third uncle's house. Unlike his brother, he was much calmer. At this moment, he was sitting in the living room while eating breakfast.

When Lu Jueyu came back with a bamboo basket, she asked, "Ah Xu, how is your mother's condition?"

"Third Aunt, I'm not sure. But I didn't hear my mother shout, so she should be alright," Li Jingxu replied after swallowing his food.

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Then we will go over after you finish your breakfast."

Just after she said this, Li Chenmo entered the living room and said, "Wife, I will go with you later."

"Have you finished your work?" Lu Jueyu asked.

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "I will return and finish the rest later."

"Okay."

Fifteen minutes later, Li Jingxu finished eating. Before leaving, Li Chenmo went to find his son to give him some instructions.

With him riding the bicycle and his wife sitting on the back, his nephew had to walk back. After all, he was no longer a small boy and couldn't sit in the front anymore.

When they arrived at Father Li's house, the midwife had already arrived. After parking the bicycle, Li Chenmo carried the bamboo basket and held his wife's hand as they entered his eldest brother's house.

"Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, we are here," he said.

Hearing his voice, Li Chenze came out from the bedroom and said, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you are here."

"Eldest Brother, how is my sister-in-law?" Lu Jueyu asked.

"Your sister-in-law is inside with the midwife," Li Chenze replied. While he was smiling, he still couldn't hide his anxiety and worry.

Seeing this, Lu Jueyu took the bamboo basket and went to the bedroom. The moment she entered the room, she saw a woman in her fifties chatting with Zhang Dongmei.

"Eldest Sister-in-law," she called.

Turning her head, Zhang Dongmei smiled and said, "Third Sister-in-law, you are here."

Placing the bamboo basket on the bedside table, she asked, "How are you feeling, Sister-in-law?"

"I'm fine. The pain is bearable," Zhang Dongmei replied.

Sitting on the chair beside the Kang bed, Lu Jueyu noticed that while her eldest sister-in-law looked a little pale, she was calm and full of energy.

The midwife smiled and said, "From Xiao Zhang's condition, it will take at least several more hours before she goes into labor."

When she heard this, Lu Jueyu was taken aback. She had heard that labor pain was unbearable. If her sister-in-law had to endure the pain for so long, would she still have any energy left during labor?

As she thought of this, she asked, "Eldest Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

Zhang Dongmei nodded and replied, "I ate some porridge this morning. I have no appetite so I didn't eat much."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu asked again, "Eldest Sister-in-law, how about I make some chicken soup for you? You have to eat more so you will have energy during labor."

After she said this, the midwife nodded and added, "It would be better if you have ginseng at home and add some to the soup."

"I understand," Lu Jueyu nodded.

She took the bamboo basket and went to the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, she saw her father-in-law tending the fire while a big pot of water was boiling.

Seeing him there, she asked, "Father, what are you doing?"

"I'm boiling some water. Third daughter-in-law, your condition is not convenient right now. You shouldn't enter the kitchen," Father Li replied.

"Father, I came to make some chicken soup for my sister-in-law. Have you eaten?" Lu Jueyu asked.

Father Li nodded and said, "Then I will leave you to it."

To avoid suspicion, he didn't stay in the same place with his daughter-in-law. With Lu Jueyu there, he went back to his room.

After he left, Lu Jueyu took out a chicken, ginseng, and some supplements from her space. As she cooked a pot of chicken soup, she took out a basket of noodles from her space.
