Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Perhaps Jiang Ziyu's words soothed Lin Meifeng's worries—she was no longer frowning and finally let out soft, even breaths. Seeing her sleeping soundly, Jiang Ziyu smiled and sat on the bedside to accompany her.

An hour later, Lin Sanlang returned with his brothers. They even brought a cart with them to carry all the gifts away. When Uncle Lin saw this, he was so angry with his nephews that his face turned red.

Standing outside the house, Li Chenmo and Li Linyun watched as they carried the goods away. Those things were not cheap, and Jiang Ziyu had spent a lot of money and efforts to buy them.

As his friends and business partners, how could they let him be bullied in their place?

The two brothers exchanged glances and smiled. They would let the Lin brothers rejoice first before taking back those items tonight. Those ingrates didn't deserve to enjoy such good things.

Meanwhile, Lu Jueyu and Pan Meijia watched the Lin brothers move the betrothal gifts to the cart with a frown. Those gifts were prepared by Lu Jueyu, so the quality of the gifts was above average.

When she thought about the ones benefiting from those gifts being those blood sucking people, Pan Meijia felt unwilling. But this was the Lin family's matter. No matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't intervene.

Everyone saw them load the betrothal gifts and couldn't help but be surprised. They had thought that the number of betrothal gifts might be a lot, but the quality would be average.

But seeing the items now, they realized that the quality of these items was excellent.

Even the cotton was white and soft, and the fabric was smooth and beautiful. They could imagine how warm a cotton-padded jacket would be if they used those materials to make it.

When they were done loading all the betrothal gifts to the cart, Mother Lin's face was brimming with smiles. She waved at her sons and said arrogantly, "Let's go!"

Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin stood on the balcony and watched them leave.

Noticing her husband's gloomy mood, Aunt Lin reached out to pat his arm and said, "Husband, it's also good that Meifeng was able to resolve this matter. Now that they no longer have any relationship with each other, she doesn't have to worry about them leeching off her again."

Thinking about his niece, Uncle Lin could only let out a long sigh. When he looked around, he saw the villagers watching him.

Just as he was considering dispersing them, Lu Jueyu walked over and said, "Uncle Lin, today is a good day. Don't let this matter ruin the mood."

Then, she turned to the villagers and said, "Since everyone is here, I would like to ask you all to help me taste my new dishes. I wonder if you would give me some face and help me out."

The moment they heard her words, their eyes lit up.

Those with sharp minds understood that this was Lu Jueyu's way of asking them not to talk about the Lin family's matter. As for those with simpler minds, they only thought they were lucky to benefit from the Lin family's joyous day.

"Jueyu ah, I have been craving your cooking. I never thought that I would be able to taste your new dish today," Aunt Su said with a smile.

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "Then I will let Aunt Su fulfill her craving today."

After she said this, everyone cheered. The matter of Mother Lin cutting ties with Lin Meifeng was quickly pushed to the back of their minds once they learned they would get to enjoy delicious food.

Lu Jueyu smiled and looked at her husband. The moment he saw his wife's gaze, Li Chenmo understood her meaning.

He carried the bamboo basket and walked to the backyard with his wife. Since the ingredients at Aunt Lin's house were limited, she could only use the ingredients in her space. But to do that, she needed her husband's help.

She planned to make lotus seed egg tea, a dessert served to newlyweds to symbolize hopes for them to conceive children soon.

After the two of them entered the kitchen, Aunt Lin and Pan Meijia came over.

"Jueyu ah, thank you for helping my family. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Aunt Lin asked.

"Aunt Lin, I plan to make lotus seed egg tea. Since there are a lot of guests, I need to go back and get some ingredients. For now, you can serve the fruit chips I brought first," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

After saying this, she opened the bamboo basket and took out several bags of fruit chips. These were originally prepared for Lin Meifeng to bring back to Yunnan.

But since they needed to prevent the villagers from spreading rumors and ruining her reputation, they had to bribe them. So, she decided to use these fruit chips first while she prepared the lotus seed egg tea.

When Aunt Lin saw the fruit chips, her eyes became teary as she said, "Jueyu ah, thank you so much."

Lu Jueyu held her hands and said, "Aunt Lin, you and my family have been friends for decades. I have always treated you as my family. So how could I do nothing when you and your family are facing difficulties?"

Pan Meijia nodded and said, "Third sister-in-law, you and Third Brother can go get the ingredients. I will help Aunt Lin here."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu readily agreed. "Okay!"

After reaching an agreement, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo left Aunt Lin's house. On the way back home, they ran into Lu Cheng.

"Second Brother!" Lu Jueyu called out.

Lu Cheng stopped the bicycle and turned around. Seeing his sister and brother-in-law, he said, "Jueyu, it's good to meet you here. I'm returning the bicycle."

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

"Your sister-in-law is doing well. Jueyu, Brother-in-law, thank you for lending me the bicycle. I still need to go back and help take care of the children, so I won't go to your house," Lu Cheng said as he got off the bicycle.

"I will return the cushion after I wash it," he added.
