Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 552

Hearing Mother Lu’s words, Zhao Ya raised her head and said, "Paternal aunt, I’m sorry."

Mother Lu was confused by her sudden apology and asked, "What are you apologizing for?"

She clasped her hands together, avoided Mother Lu’s gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said guiltily, "Paternal aunt, can you not tell my father-in-law and husband about me borrowing food from the neighbors?"

Mother Lu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? Don’t they know about this?"

Seeing her standing there with her head lowered and silent, Mother Lu asked again, "Have you sent food to your parent’s family using the Song family’s food?"

Hearing her question, Zhao Ya quickly raised her head and said in panic, "Paternal aunt, I don’t dare. We have really been short of food these years."

Mother Lu recalled the situation at her eldest brother’s home and frowned. Although they can’t eat until they are full, they should be fine with two meals a day.

"Niece-in-law, do you have any difficulties at home?" Mother Lu asked.

Avoiding her gaze, Zhao Ya said, "No, Paternal aunt. My husband and everyone are very good to me."

As soon as Mother Lu heard her answer, she already guessed what was going on. Conflicts between sisters-in-law are not uncommon. Since Zhao Ya didn’t want to tell her, she wouldn’t force it. But she needed to remind her brother about this.

Since the death of his wife, his brother has handed over the management of the family’s food and finances to his eldest daughter-in-law Wu Huning. Judging from Zhao Ya’s hesitation, this matter may be related to Wu Huning.

Mother Lu turned around and continued walking while asking, "Niece-in-law, how is your son?"

Thinking of her son, Zhao Ya said sadly, "Xiao Min’s fever has subsided, but he hasn’t woken up yet."

Mother Lu sighed and said, "Niece-in-law, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she remembered her husband’s words again and swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue back.

Fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at Song’s house. As soon as they entered the front yard, they heard Wu Huning’s voice, "Third sister-in-law, where have you been? It’s so late and the clothes haven’t been washed yet."

When Mother Lu heard this, she frowned and asked, "Eldest niece-in-law, you look so free. Can’t you do that instead?"

When Wu Huning heard her words, she was stunned for a moment, walked over quickly, and asked with a smile, "Paternal aunt, what brings you here today?"
