Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1181

Unlike his sister who was showing a dark face, Zhang Ermu was calm and even had a smile on his face. He had already heard about what happened to Lin Muai and the reasons for her stay with Liu Piao.

In fact, he had been expecting her to come and borrow his bullock cart. After two days with no word, he had assumed they wouldn’t have any chance to interact, leaving him slightly disappointed.

But now that Liu Pan had finally shown up, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as he seizes this opportunity, he and she will still have a chance.

Standing up, Zhang Ermu greeted him politely, "Brother Liu, what brings you to my house today?"

Liu Pan hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit awkward. He was well aware of the tension between Zhang Ermu’s family and his own, particularly due to the actions of his second uncle and his second wife.

Borrowing something as significant as the bullock cart from someone with a grudge against his family felt presumptuous. But for Lin Muai’s sake, he mustered his courage.

"Brother Zhang, I’m sorry to trouble you like this, but I was wondering if I could borrow your bullock cart," he said.

Before Zhang Ermu could reply, Zhang Yulan cut in sharply, "Liu Pan, why on earth would my brother lend his bullock cart to you? Have you forgotten what your family did to him back then?"

Her words made Liu Pan’s face flush with embarrassment. He lowered his head slightly and replied, "Sister Zhang, I–"

The moment she heard his words, Zhang Yulan snapped and cut him off mid-sentence, "Who is your sister?"

Zhang Ermu frowned at his sister’s rude attitude and turned to his sister. He said with a stern tone, "Yulan, don’t be rude."

Feeling upset at being reprimanded by her brother, Zhang Yulan bit her lip and stopped talking. She ignored her brother and lowered her head.

Though she continued washing mushrooms, the way she handled them showed her anger and frustration. She muttered complaints about the Liu family under her breath. Her voice was low but Zhang Ermu could still hear it.

Shaking his head at his sister’s behavior, Zhang Ermu chose to let it slide. Turning back to Liu Pan, he said, "Brother Liu, it happens that I need to make a trip to town myself. We can go together."

Liu Pan’s eyes lit up at these words, his earlier embarrassment turned into gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Zhang," he said sincerely.

Zhang Ermu nodded and added, "Let me inform my mother first. Please wait here."

"Of course, take your time, Brother Zhang," Liu Pan replied with a smile.

Fortunately, she regained her composure and avoided ruining the mushrooms. Since she couldn’t do anything about the matter, she could only glare at Liu Pan’s back while gnashing her teeth. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
