Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Chapter 28: Unexpected Guests ( 2 )



"So you agree with the arrangement?" Wang Muxiao suddenly asked.

"Yes. Brother Chenmo treats me very well and I like him. I don't have any objection."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words.

"That's good. He is willing to give you 250 yuan as your bride price and other items that are needed have been prepared. We don't have much dowry for you, so use the money to increase your dowry." Father Lu said.

Lu Jueyu had no objection and said, "I will listen to Father and Mother's arrangement."

"Good, good, good." Mother Lu was so happy that she kept smiling during the meal.

Compared to Han Yuluo, Mother Lu actually prefers Li Chenmo as her son-in-law. After all, Li Chenmo has served in the army, so he is more mature and trustworthy. As for Han Yuluo, although he cared about Lu Jueyu very much, he was too gentle and kind. What's more, his kindness is not unique to Lu Jueyu, which makes many girls misunderstand him.

A kind and gentle man is good, but Mother Lu doesn't like him getting too close to those girls. No matter how good he is to Lu Jueyu, Mother Lu can't trust him. Not to mention that he works in the county seat. What kind of woman had he never met? Mother Lu couldn't be sure whether Lu Jueyu was the only one in his heart. So, when she saw her daughter finally accept Li Chenmo, she was very happy.

After lunch, Lu Jueyu went to Li's house. As she walked into the front yard, she heard conversations coming from inside the house. Because there were guests, she didn't go directly into the house, but knocked on the door.

Not long after, a tall man opened the door, startling her. She looked at this man and found there were similarities between him and Li Chenmo. When the man saw her, he smiled and said, "Third Sister-in-law, you're here. Come in, come in! "

"Elder brother, take it easy, don't scare Jueyu."

Lu Jueyu heard Li Chenmo's helpless voice from inside. She looked at the man and said, "Brother, hello."

"Come in, don't keep standing at the door." He said, picked up the bamboo basket from her hand and stepped aside to let her in.

Lu Jueyu entered the room and saw many people she didn't know inside. Li Chenmo waved to her, motioning for her to walk over. When she approached him, he took her hand and pulled her to sit beside him. Afterward, he introduced her to his family.

"Jueyu, this is my elder brother, Li Chenze. This is my eldest sister-in-law Zhang Dongmei. These are my nephews Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu. They are twins." Li Chenmo pointed to the people around the table.

Lu Jueyu looked at them, smiled, and said, "Brother Chenze, elder sister Dongmei."

Hearing her polite greeting, Li Chenze frowned and said, "Third sister-in-law, you should call me big brother."

Hearing her husband's words, Zhang Dongmei nodded and said, "Just call me sister-in-law. Xiaoqian, Xiaoxu, greet your third aunt. "

Both boys were smart enough to know that the young woman in front of them was their future third aunt. So, they called her obediently.

"Third aunt."

Li Chenmo smiled and asked, "What did you bring for lunch?"

When she came back to her senses, Lu Jueyu said, "Ah, I made tomato beef noodles. It's getting cold, so I'll heat the soup up. Wait a moment."

After speaking, she quickly went to the kitchen with the bamboo basket. Seeing her fleeing back, Li Chenmo looked at his brother and said, "Elder brother, you should stop teasing her, she has thin skin."

"You brat, you haven't married her yet, but you already defend her like this." Li Chenze clicked his tongue.

Zhang Dongmei smiled and said, "I'll go help her."

In the kitchen, Lu Jueyu took out more noodles and broth from her space. She didn't expect to have guests today. Luckily, she made a lot of noodles and soup. As soon as she took out noodles, soup, a jar of meat sauce, and twenty steamed buns, Zhang Dongmei walked in.

Lu Jueyu was taken aback by her sudden appearance. Luckily, the bamboo basket she used was big and had three layers. So, it's enough to hold all the food she just took out. Otherwise, people will wonder how a small bamboo basket can hold so much food.

"Third sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhang Dongmei asked.

"Ah, Eldest sister-in-law, no need. I can handle it by myself." Lu Jueyu said with some embarrassment.

Seeing Lu Jueyu's embarrassment, Zhang Dongmei helped her light the fire without saying a word. With her help, the meal was ready in no time. Li Chenze and the boys were surprised when they brought the food to the living room. They thought the food would be the same as what they usually have and planned to be more reserved. But when they saw the beef, eggs, and vegetables on the noodles, their mouths were watering.

"I didn't know that Elder brother would come to visit today. So, I only cook simple dishes. I hope everyone doesn't dislike it." Lu Jueyu handed them a bowl of noodles each while talking.

She put the steamed buns and meat sauce in the middle of the table and then sat beside Li Chenmo. She scooped some meat sauce for him and put it on the noodles.

"I made this a few days ago, try it." She said in a low voice.

"En." Li Chenmo nodded, stirred the noodles, drank the soup, and took a bite.

The noodles are chewy and fragrant. The broth was rich in flavor with a hint of tomato sourness. It tastes refreshing and warm in cold weather.

She picked up the steamed bun and put some meat sauce on it before she handed it to him. Seeing that she took good care of Li Chenmo, Li Chenze finally felt at ease. As it turned out, the rumors about her love for Han Yuluo were false. Such a good girl was calculated and slandered by others. If he finds out who is spreading rumors, he will break their legs!
