Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1019

Realizing their pleas were in vain, Zhang Damu stood up abruptly and pointed at his brother as he said angrily, "Since you refuse to help, from today on, we will have nothing to do with the Zhang family. Don’t come looking for my sons to carry your urn in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhang Damu’s wife also stood up and spat angrily, "Pei! You are already 28 and still unmarried. No one wants you, and you will die a lonely death!"

After their outburst, they stormed out and noticed Li Chenze on the balcony.

Li Chenze glanced at them as they passed and walked inside, "Brother Ermu, have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Damu’s wife scoffed, "Another beggar here for grains and food!"

Although Zhang Damu stayed silent, he shared her thoughts. His brother was known as a pushover, easily taken advantage of. People often came to pilfer food from him, and he himself had taken his brother’s grains on many occasions.

Lately, he had found nothing in the warehouse when he visited in the middle of the night and could only come today intending to borrow.

Inside the house, Zhang Ermu was surprised to see Li Chenze. He stood up and asked, "Brother Chenze, why are you here? Did something happen at home?"

Li Chenze sat down and said with a smile, "I came to borrow your bullock cart."

Zhang Ermu’s eyes widened with concern and asked again, "Is everything all right with the children and sister-in-law?"

"They are fine," Li Chenze assured him.

"I need your help delivering my third brother’s grains, vegetables, meat, and fruit to Lu Han."

Hearing this, Zhang Ermu was finally relieved. He took his seat and asked, "Brother Chenze, when do you want to go?"

"If you are not busy on the farm, tomorrow would be great. My second brother is hosting a wedding banquet in the capital, and we need to send the supplies," Li Chenze thought for a moment and said.

"Understood. I will be at your third brother’s house by four in the morning," Zhang Ermu agreed readily.

Li Chenze nodded, then glanced at the table. Looking at the water stains, he asked, "Was your brother here to borrow grains?"

Zhang Ermu sighed and nodded, "Yes. I have moved everything to the underground cellar. Several times he came in the middle of the night and came back empty-handed. Therefore, he could only borrow food openly now."

Li Chenze nodded knowingly. Zhang Damu had a reputation in the village for being lazy and unreasonable. He was so lazy that he could only earn a maximum of 5 work points even during peak times.

Thinking about his sister, he let out a sigh. She was born when their parents were already in old age, making her ten years younger than him and now past the typical marriageable age. At 18, his mother was anxious and eager to find a good match for her. _{freewebnøvel.com}
