Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1342

While Lu Jueyu and Pan Meijia were cooking another pot of Lotus Seed Egg Tea, the villagers who had come to join the Lin family's joyous day eagerly lined up, anticipating a taste of the Lotus seed egg tea.

At first, Aunt Lin was delighted to see so many people celebrating her niece—now daughter's—engagement ceremony or simply sharing in the happiness.

But as more and more people filled the yard, her smile was gradually replaced by worry. It was fine if they had enough food to share. However, the soup was left with less than half a pot by now.

Since the earlier villagers had received an egg, how could the latecomers not complain if they only got soup and a few lotus seeds?

Fifteen minutes later, the pot was nearly empty, with only some lotus seeds and jujubes left at the bottom. Seeing this, a young boy cried out, "Mother, there are no more eggs! I want an egg! I want an egg!"

Hearing this, the villagers at the back became unhappy. Some stepped forward to look into the nearly empty pot.

One of them said, "Sister-in-law, we have been lining up for so long. You are not really going to tell us there is no more soup to share, are you?"

Aunt Lin wanted to tell them that her family hadn't hosted a banquet and had only planned to share wedding candies. Since they had come uninvited, it was already generous of her family to serve this pot of soup.

But when she saw their displeased expressions, she hesitated. If she said those words, bad rumors could spread and ruin her daughter's and family's reputations.

Just as she was caught in a dilemma, Lu Jueyu stepped out from the backyard and said, "Aunt Lin, could you ask two people to help me bring out another pot of soup? It's hot and heavy, and my second sister-in-law and I can't carry it alone."

As soon as she spoke, several young men eagerly raised their hands, wanting to show off in front of the beauty.

"Comrade, I can help you," one of them offered.

Lu Jueyu smiled at them, but before she could choose, she saw her husband and her second brother-in-law walking over.

Noticing her husband's displeasure, she quickly said, "Husband, you are here! Come, help me carry the soup out."

When Li Chenmo saw his wife's bright smile, the jealousy in his heart eased. He walked over and said, "Wife, you shouldn't tire yourself out. My second brother and I can handle this. You can go and take a rest."

"Okay," Lu Jueyu nodded but still followed him to the backyard.

With another pot of soup on the way, the villagers calmed down. Aunt Lin quickly ladled the remaining soup into two bowls and handed them to the children.

Since supplies were limited, not everyone could receive an egg. The children were given lotus seeds and jujube, while the eggs were reserved for the adults.

Before long, Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun returned, carrying a pot even larger than the previous one, each holding one side.
