Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1008

Since Father Li already made the decision, they could only agree and took the bus to head back.

When Father Li saw his third daughter-in-law paying the bus fare, he sighed. The cost of living in the capital was too high—everything required money here. He couldn’t fathom how city dwellers managed to live with such expenses.

Back in the village, they didn’t need to pay when they borrowed the production team’s tractor. At most, they would send over some vegetables to thank the production team, which they grew themselves at no cost.

Reflecting on this, he turned to his second son and said, "Second son, when we return to the village, remember to send more vegetables to your in-laws. The living expenses in the capital are high, it’s not easy for them."

Li Lingyun was taken aback when he heard of his father’s words. He always knew his father was a generous man but he never expected him to think about his girlfriend’s family’s situation so thoughtfully.

Though surprised, he felt relieved. It was good that his father had these thoughts. This way, when he sent vegetables or grains to his wife’s family in the future, his father wouldn’t feel resentful or conflicted.

"I understand, Father," he replied with a smile.

Father Li nodded and gazed out the window to enjoy the Capital scenery.

While Lingyun didn’t say it out loud, his respect and admiration for his father deepened.

By the time they reached the rented house, the sun was beginning to set in the western sky. Everyone was hungry, so Lu Jueyu went to cook after taking a five-hour rest in her space with her husband.

After they came out from the space, both of them felt refreshed. They went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and saw Dong Li was already boiling water and kneading dough inside.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing?" Lu Jueyu asked.

"Mother, I want to make soup dumplings. We have been walking for a whole day, so you must be tired. Tonight, let me prepare dinner. You and my Father can take a rest," Dong Li replied.

Lu Jueyu was happy when she heard her son’s words. She smiled and said, "Mother isn’t tired. Let’s do it together."

Dong Li looked at his parents and saw that they indeed didn’t look tired and nodded, "Alright."

With Dong Li already kneading the dough, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo prepared the filling. With the three of them working together, they finished cooking a pot of soup dumplings in under an hour.

They moved the soup dumplings and utensils to the living room and had dinner with Father Li and Li Lingyun. After dinner, everyone washed up and went to bed early.
