Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Chapter 1286: Shameless Words

Lu Jueyu stared at her husband for a moment before she smiled and said, "Husband, I also never regret marrying you!"

Noticing her good mood, Li Chenmo chuckled and continued washing the dishes. 

After his wife became pregnant, it became increasingly difficult for him to understand her mood. Perhaps because of her mood swings, she seems a little insecure recently.

'I should pay more attention to her mood and give her more sense of security,' he reminded himself inwardly.

When he was done, the two of them went to the kitchen before entering Lu Jueyu's space. Inside, Lu Jueyu instructed her husband while he prepared the ingredients for fish soup.

Fish soup was nutritious and could help boost breast milk production, so they decided to make a pot of fish soup with ginseng and a little bit of ginger for Wang Muxiao.

In addition to the fish soup, Lu Jueyu took out two loaves of whole wheat bread, a pack of dried sweet potatoes, boiled eggs, two blocks of silken tofu, and two liters of milk from the warehouse.

She added some spiritual herb powder to the milk and fish soup, sprinkling a bit on the dried sweet potatoes as well. This would not only keep the food and milk fresh for longer but also nourish Wang Muxiao's body and improve the babies' immune systems.

Once they were done, both of them took a shower before leaving her space. Reappearing in the kitchen, they packed the soup, milk, and other food into a bamboo basket, covering it with a tea cloth and securing it with hemp rope.

After locking the doors, the two of them finally left the house. Since Lu Cheng had borrowed the bicycle, they had no choice but to walk to the Lu family's house.

Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Li Chenmo held his wife's arm as they walked. When they entered the village area, the villagers sitting under a tree noticed them.

One of them waved and said, "Jueyu, ah, it's been a while since we saw you. How have you been?"

Noticing their intimate behavior, a young woman asked meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell again?"

The villagers, hearing this, also noticed how Li Chenmo was supporting his wife. It wasn't a secret that Lu Jueyu was frail, so it wasn't surprising if she fell ill from time to time.

Hearing their inquiries, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

Looking at her milky skin, which appeared pale under the sunlight, no one believed her. However, the older woman noticed the slight blush on her cheeks and the subtle changes in her figure.

Despite her fair complexion, she was clearly well-nourished and exuded a healthy, joyful aura. Only a blind person would think she was unwell.

"Sister-in-law, if you are not feeling well, you should stay home. It's not easy for my brother-in-law to take care of the children and work in the fields. If you continue to make a fuss with your frail health, my brother-in-law will only get more exhausted from taking care of you," the young woman said with a sigh.

Everyone understood the hidden meaning behind her words and covered their mouths to hide their smiles.

Lu Jueyu nodded and sighed. She looked at her husband with a slight blame and said, "It's indeed hard for my husband. He insists on doing the house chores and taking care of the children." 

"He doesn't even let me do any work at home now. All I can do is eat and sleep every day. I can't even argue with him—if I do, he will pester me and bully me the whole night until I give in," she added shyly.

The moment they heard her words, everyone was stunned. It was the first time they had heard her speak so shamelessly.

What did she mean by her husband pestering and bullying her the whole night? The meaning was obvious.

When a husband and wife were together at night, they would only do that thing!

The villagers' faces changed colors several times in shock and envy. They couldn't even find the words to respond.

"Jueyu, ah, you and your husband have such a good relationship. Will we be hearing good news soon?" an old woman asked with a smile.

Lu Jueyu smiled at her and replied shyly, "It won't be long, Aunt Zhao."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao chuckled and said, "Then I will be waiting for the good news."

Before the villagers could ask any more questions, she added, "It's getting late. You two should get going."

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "See you next time, Aunt Zhao."

As they left, Li Chenmo leaned down and asked, "Wife, who is Aunt Zhao?"

"She is my cousin's mother-in-law. Her daughter, Zhao Ya, married my maternal eldest uncle's third son. I heard my cousin moved into the house near ours after my maternal eldest uncle separated the household," Lu Jueyu replied.

Li Chenmo thought for a moment and asked, "Is your maternal cousin Song Li?"

Lu Jueyu nodded and sighed, "My mother's family rarely visits, so we don't have a close relationship. But during my childhood, my uncles and cousins took care of me." 

"Even if we don't interact much now, they still send me things once in a while through my mother. When we got married, my uncles and cousins sent me red envelopes even though their families barely had enough to eat," she added.

"Since they have treated you well, it wouldn't hurt to reconnect with them. After all, having more relatives makes it easier to find help in times of need," Li Chenmo said.

Lu Jueyu knew her husband was thinking about their children's future. When they were no longer around, strong ties with family would ensure their children had more support.

Realizing this, she nodded and said, "I will ask the children to bring some gifts to their granduncles and uncles."

Seeing that his wife understood his intentions, Li Chenmo smiled and said, "Okay."
