Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1182

At first, Zhang Yulan wanted to ignore her brother. But when she heard about the brown sugar, her heart softened, and she replied, "Brother, I still have some left. You don’t need to buy it—save the money."

After a moment, she added softly, "After all, you need money to get married. If you spend all of your savings, when will you bring my sister-in-law back?"

Hearing her quiet words, Zhang Ermu was stunned. Then, a smile appeared on his face. Compared to his brother, he was closer to his sister. With a ten-year age gap, he had practically raised her, so he doted on her greatly.

Knowing she was no longer angry, Zhang Ermu felt relieved. He gently patted her head and said, "Alright."

Liu Pan who was watching the interaction between the Zhang siblings couldn’t help but think that if the engagement between their families hadn’t been broken, his cousin might have had a better life now.

While she might have had to work hard to eat a full meal, at least she would have been treasured by her husband. That was far better than marrying a man with bright prospects but being bullied by both her husband and her in-laws.

Zhang Ermu untied the rope of his bullock cart and drove it to the entrance. He stopped beside Liu Pan and said, "Brother Liu, we should go now."

Liu Pan nodded, climbed into the front seat, and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Brother Zhang."

"It’s no problem," Zhang Ermu replied lightly.

In fact, he wished the Liu family would come to trouble him every day. Because only like this, will he have a reason to meet Liu Piao. The thought of seeing her made his heart beat faster than usual, filled with anticipation.

It took them fifteen minutes to reach Liu Piao’s house.

When Liu Piao heard the sound of the cart, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She took her bag, walked to Lin Muai, and said, "Teacher Lin, my brother is here. We can leave now."

After speaking, she held Lin Muai’s arm and helped her out of the living room. Wang Muyang followed them with a complicated expression.

When they stepped outside, they saw a rough man driving a bullock cart at the gate. The moment Liu Piao saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This was the first time she was facing him directly since returning from the city. Afraid of worrying the other party, she quickly lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

Standing beside the cart, she smiled faintly and said hoarsely, "Brother Ermu, long time no see."

Zhang Ermu felt his throat tighten the moment he heard her familiar voice. At this moment, he was unable to speak. He had so many questions to ask, so many words he wanted to say to her. But now when he was facing her face-to-face, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Noticing the strange atmosphere between the two of them, Liu Pan climbed down from the front seat and said, "Teacher Lin, let me help you onto the cart."
