Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

"Thank you, Mother." Lu Jueyu said with a smile while holding Mother Lu's hand.

"Your brother caught a fish yesterday. When you go to see him, bring over some fish soup."

After saying this, Mother Lu sighed again and left her room.

Lu Jueyu understood her mother's concerns and worries, but she really couldn't ignore him. She is not the original host who was young and dreamed of getting married because of love. She is someone who has lived in a cruel society and knows that kindness is very rare. She also witnessed her parents' marriage.

Although her parents in previous lives met through blind dates and the marriage was not based on love, their marriage was stable and harmonious. They respect and trust each other. Her mother had told her that married life was full of hardships and that love alone was not enough to make it work. She needs to find a man she can trust and is willing to not only protect her but also respect her, which is not easy.

Therefore, even if she had never met him, just because he risked his life to save the original host, she was willing to spend the rest of her life with him. This kind of man deserves her trust and respect. As for love, their future is still very long, and she believes that she can love him in the future.

Lu Jueyu went to wash her face, changed her clothes, then went to the kitchen and poured the fish soup into a jar. She sighed as she wrapped the jar in the cloth. In this day and age, they don't even have thermos flasks. She remembered reading in a book that people in this era needed coupons to buy things.

The most common coupons are food coupons, meat coupons, grain coupons, and fabric coupons. As for industrial coupons, they are very rare because they are issued to government workers. If they want to buy a thermos or a bicycle, they need an industrial coupon. Otherwise, they need to go to the black market and pay higher prices. But if they get caught, they will go to jail.

The government prohibits people from conducting private transactions. So, the only way for them to make money and get coupons is to work at a factory or for the government. As villagers, they can only earn work points, which allows them to get grain and meat on distribution days. The amount of grain and meat will depend on how many work points they earn during the year.

Before leaving her house, Lu Jueyu went to her parent's room and said, "Mother, Father, I'm going to visit Brother Chenmo. I'll be back in a while."

"Be careful on the road. Remember to bring the fish soup." Mother Lu's voice came from the room.

"Alright."

After that, she left the house. As soon as she walked out of the house, a gust of cold wind hit her face, making her nose red. She tightened her clothes and walked towards Li Chenmo's house. She knew the way to his house from her dream.

As it was still early for lunch, many villagers sat outside drinking tea. When they saw her, they would ask her about her health, and some who liked to gossip would inquire about her marriage. She would smile at them and reply politely but say nothing about her marriage.

After walking for twenty minutes, she finally arrived at Li Chenmo's house. As soon as she stepped into the front yard, she saw a young man chopping wood. When he saw her, he was stunned.

"How are you? Is Brother Li at home?" Lu Jueyu asked with a smile.

Coming back to his senses, the young man hurriedly said, "Captain is at home. Please come in."

She nodded and followed him. When they reached the door, the young man entered the house and said, "Captain, someone is looking for you."

Lu Jueyu didn't enter the house but waited outside. Not long after, the young man came back and said, "Miss, please come in. It was inconvenient for the captain to come out. "

As she entered the house, she asked, "Is his injury serious?"

The young man didn't know her identity, so he didn't dare to talk too much and just smiled at her. She also did not press on when she noticed his awkward expressions. When she arrived in the bedroom, she saw a man whose face was both familiar and unfamiliar to her. She looked at him blankly, and whispered softly, "Senior."

Li Chenmo didn't hear what she said and thought she was surprised by his condition. His eyes dimmed, and he clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down. After a while, he finally opened his lips and said hoarsely, "You are here."

Hearing his voice, Lu Jueyu came back to her senses. She lowered her head and reminded herself that although this man looks identical to him, he was not him. After taking a deep breath, she raised her head and walked into the room.

She dragged a chair and sat near the bed. She watched him carefully, noticing the bandages on his legs. She put the jar on the table, and while tidying the quilt for him, she said, "It's been cold recently. You're injured, so pay more attention to it."

He was stunned by her words. Before he could respond to her words, she added, "I'll get the bowl."

Li Chenmo saw her disappear into the kitchen and came back with a bowl and spoon. She scooped up a bowl of fish soup, handed it to him, and said, "Drink it before it turns cold. My elder brother caught a fish yesterday, and my mother made the fish soup. You need to replenish your body so you can recover before our wedding."

His hands trembled when he heard her talk about their wedding. He looked at her in disbelief and expectation, and asked, "Jueyu, you...do you still want to marry me?"
