Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo took some rest and ate something before they came out of the space and walked back. When the two of them returned home, the sun had set in the western horizon, and the children were already back.

Seeing their parents come back, Dong Huang ran out of the kitchen and said, "Father, Mother, you are back! Brother and I have prepared dinner."

Lu Jueyu smiled at her daughter and said, "Mother and Father will take a shower first, then we can have dinner together."

"Okay, Mother!"

While Dong Huang went to inform her brother, who was pulling weeds from the greenhouses, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo went to their bedroom before they entered her space to take a bath.

After they finished dinner, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu entered her space to organize the gold they dug out. They spent a long time recording and organizing. When they were done, they took another bath and went to sleep.

After ten hours of sleep, the two of them woke up feeling refreshed. As they were having breakfast, Lu Jueyu said, "Husband, in the morning, Li Sang came to find me."

Hearing this, Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did he want?"

"It's about Shitou. Li Sang sent his mother to live with his half-brother in another village, so he was hoping that we could take care of Shitou," Lu Jueyu replied.

"Didn't he have a daughter? He can just send his son to live with her," Li Chenmo said.

Lu Jueyu noticed her husband's unwillingness and said, "He did have that intention. It's Shitou who was unwilling to live with Doctor Xie."

This time, Li Chenmo frowned and said sharply, "As a father, how can he indulge in his son's unreasonable behavior? No wonder he couldn't take care of his wife and mother."

"Husband, why are you getting angry? If you are unwilling, then I will tell him that we can't do that. There is no need to get angry over this small matter," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Li Chenmo finished his soy milk before he said, "Our family has not much relationship with Li Sang's family. Even as neighbors, we barely interact. Having his son living in our house is inappropriate."

After he said this, he paused for a moment and softened his tone, "Wife, I know you like children and pity Shitou. But no matter how you pity him, there must be a limit to your generosity and kindness."

Lu Jueyu reached out to hold his hand and replied with a smile, "Husband, I understand."

After they finished discussing Shitou's matter, Lu Jueyu took out the letter sent by Bai Xue'er and said, "This is a letter from the capital. Husband, what do you think we should do?"

Li Chenmo read the letter for a moment and said, "Since she wanted to become the middleman for us, then just let her go to one of our grain stores in the capital."

"We have the writing permission from the government to sell grains. If she is caught, we can still find a way to help her and also protect ourselves. But, if we sell the grains to her without going through the stores, it will be a different matter if we are caught."

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Then I will send her a reply. As for the price, do you think we need to give her any discount?"

Li Chenmo shook his head and said, "No need. The price she gave them was already 30% higher than the price of grains we sold in the stores. I will inform our people and let them prepare the grains separately for her."

"Okay."

After they discussed the matter, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu left the space and reappeared in their bedroom. After reading some books, the two of them went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Chenmo and his family woke up as usual and went to do their morning routine.

After having breakfast together, Lu Jueyu wrote a letter to Bai Xue'er. She handed it to her husband and said, "Go early and return early. Be careful on the road."

Li Chenmo put the letter in his bag and said, "I might need to go visit the store in the town, so I won't have lunch at home. Eat on time and don't wait for me."

Lu Jueyu nodded and asked, "Do you have enough money with you? If you have time, buy something for your men."

"I have enough money, don't worry," Li Chenmo replied with a smile.

After giving her a kiss, he rode his bicycle and went to the town.

Since she was alone at home, Lu Jueyu packed two jars of ginseng powder mixed with spiritual herbs, two 300-year-old ginseng, several jars of wound ointment, and five bottles of tonic wine.

She put everything inside a bamboo basket and walked toward Doctor Xie's house.

When the villagers saw her, one of them greeted her, "Jueyu ah, where are you going?"

"I'm going to visit Doctor Xie," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

"Are you feeling unwell?" another villager asked curiously.

Lu Jueyu shook her head and said, "Doctor Xie asked me to help him with something, and I went over to send the things."

Hearing this, the villagers stretched their heads to peek into the bamboo basket. But with a layer of cloth covering the bamboo basket, they couldn't see anything.

After the brief conversation, Lu Jueyu nodded at them and continued walking. Thirty minutes later, she arrived at Doctor Xie's house and knocked on the gate while shouting, "Doctor Xie, are you at home?"

Not long after, the gate opened and Song Yan greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

"I came to send something to Doctor Xie. Is he at home?" Lu Jueyu said.

Song Yan stepped aside and let her in while saying, "My teacher is in the backyard. Sister-in-law, you can go find him."

"Thank you."
