Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Seeing Lu Jueyu, Feng Lin and Shitou greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Li."

"Xiao Lin, Shitou, the two of you also go wash your hands. Later, just go with us and we can have lunch together," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Feng Lin was familiar with them, so he didn't refuse. As for Shitou, he was still young, and as long as he could have delicious food, he didn't worry about politeness.

The three of them quickly went to wash their hands, faces, and legs. When they were done, Lu Jueyu had already pushed the bicycle outside the house.

She placed two three-layered lunch boxes, three waterskins, and three two layered bamboo baskets on the carts connected to the bicycle.

She also placed the children's bamboo baskets on the other cart and said, "Xiao Lin, Shitou, the two of you can sit on the cart. Xiao Huang can sit in the back seat."

When Dong Huang heard this, she frowned and said, "Mother, we are very heavy. Can your body bear it?"

In her mind, her mother was weak and delicate. Her thin body looked so fragile that a gust of wind might blow her mother away. So, hearing that her mother wanted to pedal the heavy bicycle, she worried that her mother would get injured or too tired.

Noticing her daughter's worries, Lu Jueyu chuckled and said, "Your mother is very strong. It's not a problem to carry all of you at all."

The children looked at her for a while, and when they saw she was serious, they could only listen to her and climbed onto the cart and bicycle.

Before they left, Lu Jueyu put a bamboo hat on their heads and said, "The sunlight is strong—don't take off the hat."

"Thank you, Mother," Dong Huang said with a grin.

After she locked the gates, Lu Jueyu pedaled the bicycle and went to the south farmland.

Along the way, lots of villagers and educated youths noticed her and the children.

Seeing her carrying so many bamboo baskets and layered lunch boxes, one of the villagers asked, "Jueyu ah, are you sending lunch for your husband and son?"

Lu Jueyu nodded and replied, "Yeah, it's almost lunchtime, so I want to have lunch with them and my family."

When they heard her words, they understood that she also made lunch for the Li and Lu families. Since it was for everyone, it was normal for her to make so much food.

Before anyone could ask more questions, she had already left with the children. She didn't stop the bicycle and only replied as she passed.

Not long after, they reached the south farmland. When Dong Huang saw her father and brother, she waved her hands and shouted, "Father, Brother!"

Her body was small, but her voice was loud. When she shouted, not only her father and brother heard her—everyone working in the farmland also heard her.

Seeing how energetic she was, Wu Huning sneered and said sourly, "Look at how plump she is. I don't know what my cousin is thinking. She is willing to feed other people's children but never asks about her own nephews and nieces."

After she said this, her sister-in-law, Ping Qing, added, "Isn't that so? Everyone says she is generous and that we, as her cousins, also benefited when she had a good life. But look at our situation now. It's one thing to ignore us—but how could she ignore her uncle, brothers, and nephews?"

The two of them didn't lower their voices, and the people around them heard every word.

Hearing this, Zhao Ya frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, did you forget the food and money lent to us by Aunt's family? How can you say that about her daughter now?"

When they heard her words, Ping Qing snorted and replied, "Third sister-in-law, of course you will speak for her. After all, your family did receive the benefits."

If it were before, Zhao Ya might not have dared to go against them, since they were the ones who managed the family's food and money. But now that they were already separated, she didn't have to give them face if they didn't want it.

So, she said, "My family indeed went to borrow food from my cousin. But we will return it when we get our grains. My family is not as shameless as some people."

"Not only did they accept food and money from her mother, but they also talked about her in the back! No wonder, there are so many people visiting them lately asking them to return the food they borrowed."

As soon as she said this, both Ping Qing and Wu Huning were angered. Her words hit a sore spot—lots of people had come to their houses to ask for the food they had borrowed.

They had already told them that they would return it on distribution day, but those people insisted they return it as soon as possible, saying they had no more food to eat either. Due to this, their husbands become more dissatisfied with them.

"Zhao Ya, what do you mean by that?" Wu Huning demanded as she pointed at Zhao Ya's nose.

Due to her loud voice, her husband finally noticed the commotion. Song Yun glared at his wife and asked, "Wu Huning, what are you doing? If you have so much energy, why don't you work faster? Instead of working, you are busy bickering!"

Being scolded by her husband in public made Wu Huning lose face, but she didn't dare to go against him. So, after she sent a vicious glare at Zhao Ya, she could only continue working.

Fearing that she would be scolded by her husband too and lose face, Ping Qing didn't dare to argue with Zhao Ya anymore and worked in silence angrily.

Seeing them like this, Zhao Ya felt a satisfaction she had never felt before. Thanks to her husband's support, she was finally able to stand up against them.
