Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1006

Not long after, the bus arrived. Li Chenmo and his family got in the line and boarded the bus. Since it was during work hours, the bus was not as crowded as yesterday. After Lu Jueyu paid the fare, they found seats near the window.

This was Father Li and Dong Li’s first time in the capital, and both were in awe when they looked out the window.

Meanwhile, Li Chenmo noted how calm his second brother seemed. He looked as if he had been here before, which made him wonder about his brother’s life before returning to the Li family.

After thirty minutes, they reached the bus stop near the department store. They walked for another ten minutes before spotting the four-story building.

Looking at the building, Lu Jueyu was disappointed. She thought that the department store would be at least half the size of those in the modern era. Unfortunately, it was only about twice the size of the department store in their county town.

While she felt disappointed, Father Li and Dong Li were astonished as they stared at the building with wide eyes.

Seeing them like this, Li Chenmo smiled and reminded them, "Father, it’s hot outside, let’s go inside."

Father Li came back to his senses and coughed to hide his embarrassment. He nodded and said, "Alright."

The department store had good ventilation, and the temperature inside was much cooler. Once inside, Father Li sighed in relief and said, "It’s so comfortable here."

As soon as he finished his words, they heard a sneer. Li Chenmo turned with a frown and saw a middle-aged woman with a younger woman nearby. Since they were women, he only frowned and said nothing.

Noticing them too, Lu Jueyu said, "Father, while it’s comfortable here, the air isn’t as fresh as back home."

Father Li took a deep breath but he did not notice anything odd with the air and said, "Third Daughter-in-law, the air isn’t bad here."

When her father-in-law finished speaking, Lu Jueyu’s eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Father, didn’t you smell that rotten stench? It was so bad that I thought someone had defecated here."

When she said these words, she looked directly at the middle-aged woman and sneered.

The woman realized Lu Jueyu was talking about her and felt angry. She pointed her fingers at them and wanted to curse. But before she could do that, her daughter-in-law held her back, and said in a low voice, "Mother, this is a public place. Father just warned us yesterday to behave."

As the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, it was her first time being humiliated like this. What made her even more angry was that the other party dared to say that she had a bad mouth despite being a villager.

But despite her anger, she didn’t want to jeopardize her husband’s career prospects by making a scene in a public place during this critical period.

So, she only glared at Lu Jueyu and left with her daughter-in-law. It’s best not to meet her again, otherwise, she will definitely make that woman regret humiliating her today.

Seeing her provocation go nowhere, Lu Jueyu turned to Father Li and said, "Father, let’s look around. If you see anything you like, let us know."
