Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 76

Lu Jueyu looked at his injured leg and asked, "Does your leg hurt?"

Although his injury has basically healed, he is still unable to do heavy work. Walking for more than two hours was quite a strenuous exercise for his legs, and she worried that his legs would ache from it.

Li Chenmo noticed her worry, and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go visit my brother before we go back."

Thinking of the packages that needed to be sent today, Lu Jueyu agreed. Li Chenze’s house is not far from Father Li’s, less than 20 minutes away. When they arrived at Li Chenze’s house, they had just finished breakfast as it is normal for a villager to eat only two meals a day and have breakfast later than usual during winter.

When Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu entered the front yard, they saw Zhang Dongmei picking cabbage in the vegetable field in the front yard, while Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu were helping her move the cabbage into the basin by the well.

Zhang Dongmei was a little surprised to see the two of them coming. She cleaned up the dirt in her hands, walked to them and asked, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, we are here to find my elder brother. Is he at home?" Li Chenmo asked.

"Yes, he is in the backyard. Jingxu, go and call your father." Zhang Dongmei said to her son.

"No need, I’ll go find him myself." Li Chenmo said.

"Alright." Zhang Dongmei nodded and said with a smile.

Although he rarely came to visit, Li Chenmo and Li Chenze had a good relationship, so he went to the backyard by himself with familiarity.

Zhang Dongmei saw the bamboo basket in Lu Jueyu’s hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, come in for tea first."

"Thank you, eldest sister-in-law." Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

"We are a family, there is no need to be so polite. Have you returned from visiting the villagers?" Zhang Dongmei asked. During the festivals, they would visit those who helped them, which is the custom in their village.

"Yes, we just send some new year gifts to the elders, team leader, and aunts."

Zhang Dongmei nodded and was very satisfied with her. Previously, when Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu got married, many villagers came to help them prepare the wedding banquet. But during the festivals, Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu didn’t even come to visit them, let alone send some gifts. What’s more, they were not even allowed to bring back some leftovers after the wedding banquet.

Fortunately, Father Li still had some savings, so he asked her to cook two tables of meals to thank them. Otherwise, their family will be branded as stingy, and no one will be willing to help in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Dongmei was glad that Lu Jueyu was sensible and knew how to do things. No matter how much money a person has, they still need help from others. Therefore, it is very important to have a good relationship with the neighbors.

After the two sat down, Zhang Dongmei poured a cup of tea for Lu Jueyu and said, "It’s good for you to do this. No matter what, we still have to maintain a good relationship with the villagers. After all, only you and your husband live there and you might need help from others in the future."
