Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

They nodded and began to eat. Li Chenmo also picked up the chopsticks and tasted the noodles. Although the taste is not as good as that sold in state-run restaurants, it still has the taste he was familiar with when he was a child. When he was a soldier, he ate very fast. So, in less than ten minutes, they finished the bowl of noodles.

When Father Li brought ginger tea in, they had already finished their noodles. Without saying anything, he handed them the ginger tea.

After drinking tea, they felt warm and went to another room to rest. There are three rooms in father Li's house, one is Li Chenmo's, one is father Li's, and one is the guest room. When there were only the two of them left, Father Li could finally examine Li Chenmo's injuries carefully.

Seeing the wound on his stomach, he sighed and said, "It's also good to return. At least I don't have to worry about your safety."

Father Li learned from the expressions of his son's comrades-in-arms that his son could no longer continue to work in the army due to his injuries. While regretting, he also felt relieved. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel scared when he saw his son being carried back covered in injuries. As long as he is alive, nothing is more important. It's just that father Li doesn't know if Li Chenmo will limp in the future.

Noticing his father's gaze, Li Chenmo said, "The doctor said it will take me two months to recover. After two months, I need to go for another checkup."

After hesitating for a while, Father Li finally asked, "Can your leg recover completely?"

This time, Li Chenmo lowered his eyelids to hide his emotions, and said in a low voice, "I may be a little limp after recovery, but it won't affect my daily life."

Although he had already guessed it, Father Li was still shaken when he heard his words. Now, with his son's confirmation, he worried that the Lu family might not agree to continue the marriage contract. After all, a limp was a disadvantage in an era when people had to work in the fields. What's more, Li Chenmo couldn't work due to injury in the next few months.

Li Chenmo seemed to understand his father's worries, and said, "Father, I will find time to talk to Lu Jueyu. If she is not willing, I will not force this marriage."

Father Li was taken aback by his words. After all, he knew that his third son had had feelings for this girl for many years. In less than two months, he could marry her. But now, he said he wanted her to choose. What if the girl is unwilling to marry him after knowing his condition? Won't he regret it later?

"Father, don't you worry," he added with a smile.

Seeing that he was calm, Father Li could only agree and let him rest. When Father Li left the room, Li Chenmo took out a pair of red hair clips from his pocket. This hair clip was bought for her before he was injured. The moment he saw the hair clip, he could imagine what she would look like with it on. But now, he didn't know if he could give it to her.

With a heavy heart, he closed his eyes and forced himself to stop thinking. He should focus on his recovery and get well as quickly as possible.

At the same time, in Lu's house, a doctor was checking the pulse of a girl. The girl was lying on Kang bed with her eyes closed. Her face was flushed with a high fever, and she kept mumbling incoherently.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Mother Lu asked worriedly.

The doctor frowned and took out a bottle of medicine from the box.

"Give her a spoonful every three hours. If the fever subsides tomorrow, it will be fine." The doctor said with a heavy tone.

After hearing his words, everyone understood what he meant. If Lu Jueyu's fever is not cured tomorrow, she may lose her life.

After hearing what the doctor said, Mother Lu's knees went limp. Seeing Mother Lu's appearance, everyone was stunned.

"Mother!" Lu Han and Lu Cheng hurried over to hold her body.

"Mother, you and Father should go back and rest first. I will take care of Jueyu," said the eldest daughter-in-law.

Father Lu looked at his wife and unconscious daughter, and said, "Wife, you should also take a rest. Dalang's wife will take care of Jueyu."

Mother Lu was sobbing and could only nod her head. She knew that even if she stayed up all night, she couldn't help her daughter.

After everyone dispersed, Lu Han's wife, Chen Anwen, sat by the bed and wiped Lu Jueyu's forehead with a warm towel. She looked at her sister-in-law and sighed.

"Ah Yu, please wake up, alright? If anything happens to you, what should mother and father do?" She said with a hint of worry.

Although she knew that Lu Jueyu couldn't hear her, she couldn't help but say this. Although everyone thought that Lu Jueyu was the one who plotted against Li Chenmo and forced him to marry her, both the Lu family and the Li family knew that this was far from the case.

When the villagers came to the foot of the mountain, they saw Lu Jueyu pressing on Li Chenmo's body, their clothes were messed up. So, they think she's forcing herself. After returning home, Lu Jueyu told them the truth.

That day, she went into the mountains to look for wild vegetables and pigweeds. On the way back, she felt someone push her from behind. If Li Chenmo hadn't saved her, she might have fallen to her death. She didn't know why everyone suddenly appeared there and found them in that embarrassing situation.

With her naive personality, it is impossible for Lu Jueyu to understand the situation. But Chen Anwen was different. Just from her words and the situation at that time, she knew that someone was plotting against her sister-in-law.
