Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Magical Space

As soon as Lu Jueyu made a decision, Mother Lu walked into her room with a bowl in her hand. Mother Lu put the bowl on the bedside table and helped her sit down. She leaned against the wall and looked at the bowl. The bowl contained coarse-grain porridge mixed with sweet potatoes. She had previously heard about food and water quality from her grandparents' stories. But when she saw the food, she was still stunned.

Judging from the quality of the food, her family situation does not seem to be as good as 'she' imagined. Although they have a lot of labor in their families, they also eat a lot when doing heavy work. There are ten people in the Lu family.

In addition to herself and her parents, there is also her eldest brother and his wife and they have two sons. And her second brother and his wife, they have a daughter. Of the ten, neither the children nor herself worked in the fields. So, they don't have many work points.

Father Lu and her two brothers are strong and can do a heavy workload, so each of them can earn ten points every day. Her mother and her sister-in-law can earn eight to ten points a day. As for the children, they would follow her to collect pigweed in exchange for points. They can only earn a maximum of five points per day.

Although she never set foot in the fields, she was tasked with doing housework and caring for the children while her family worked in the fields. At this moment, they have finished planting the winter wheat, and there is not much work in the field. What's more, it's almost Chinese New Year, they just need to wait for the meat distribution day, and they can finally eat meat.

After covering her with an old quilt, Mother Lu took the bowl and said, "Here, eat first, then take medicine."

Lu Jueyu took the bowl and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mother."

Mother Lu was stunned by her polite tone but said nothing. Although Mother Lu felt sad when her daughter was alienated from her, it was better than when her daughter was depressed and didn't say a word all day. At least, she's willing to talk now and even smile.

Lu Jueyu didn't know what Mother Lu was thinking as she took a sip of porridge. She ate slowly, forcing herself to finish the porridge. Due to her upbringing, she eats slowly in a good manner no matter how hungry she is or how bad the food is.

Mother Lu observed her carefully, and felt that her daughter seemed like a different person after waking up. She couldn't help but glance at the birthmark on Lu Jueyu's wrist. When she saw the familiar gourd-shaped birthmark, she couldn't help cursing herself for overthinking.
