Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1157

The doorbell was made using a fishing thread to connect the handle outside the main gate to several bells placed around the house. When guests arrived, they only needed to pull the handle to alert the people inside.

Without someone guarding the door, even if guests knocked on the main gate, those inside wouldn’t hear them. Moreover, Lu Jueyu and her husband often spent their time working in the vegetable gardens or inside the house.

Even though their five senses had improved from consuming the food and water from her space, it was still impossible for them to hear knocking on the main gate. So, Li Chenmo decided to make a simple doorbell.

After wiping her hands, Lu Jueyu went to open the gate. Her husband had already left to work on the production team’s farmland today, so she was alone at the moment.

When she reached the main gate, she called out, "Who is it?"

Waiting outside the door, Wang Muxiao heard her sister-in-law’s voice and replied, "Jueyu ah, it’s me."

Recognizing the familiar voice, Lu Jueyu opened the door and asked in surprise, "Second Sister-in-law, Sister Liu Hua, what brought the two of you here so early? Come in quickly."

After speaking, she reached out to support her second sister-in-law. Once they entered the yard, she closed the gate and locked it.

As they walked into the house, she asked again, "Second Sister-in-law, you are almost due. Why are you still coming here? If you need anything, just let my second brother inform me, and I can come visit you."

Noticing the worry in her sister-in-law’s voice, Wang Muxiao smiled and said, "It’s not good to just sit or lie down at home. The doctor told me to walk every day to ensure a smooth delivery. Today, I have something to ask you, so I asked Ah Hua to accompany me to visit."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu looked at her sister-in-law curiously and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, what do you need my help with? If I can, I will definitely help you."

"Let’s talk about it inside," Wang Muxiao replied mysteriously.

Although curious, Lu Jueyu nodded and led them to the living room in the backyard. When Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua entered the room, they were still amazed by the Li family’s ancestral house. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Although this room was called a living room, during the dynasty era, it was known as an ancillary room or a side room.

The so-called north hall was originally used by the matriarch of the family as her living quarters including two ancillary rooms on the sides. Thus, this living room was located beside Lu Jueyu and her husband’s bedroom.

When Father Li’s grandfather inherited the house, he renovated the ancestral hall and restructured the small manor. Not only did he expand the west and east wings, but he also purchased the land surrounding the house and added a large yard behind the north hall.

Now, the ones who benefited most from the manor’s expansion were Lu Jueyu and her husband. Indeed, the ancestors plant trees, and the next generations enjoy the shade.
