Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1331: Borrowing Food ( 1 )

Li Chenmo nodded at his wife and admitted, "Your cousin and his family are indeed worthy to be friends. No wonder Ah Li and Xiao Huang like their cousins from your maternal family."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that they treat me very well? Although my mother's family is poor and illiterate, they are not bad at heart. It's just that some of them married the wrong person, which caused the family to break apart."

Reaching out, Li Chenmo patted his wife's head gently and said, "Alright, let's go meet them. It's not good to let the guests wait too long."

Before they left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu took out a basket of steamed buns and a jar of warm soy milk from her space. She had heard about her cousins' situation from her mother and guessed that they came because of that.

When Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo entered the living room, they saw Song Li and his family sipping the honey water slowly. Seeing how careful they were when tasting the water, Lu Jueyu felt a pang of sadness for them.

Even though she hadn't personally experienced her maternal uncles and their families' care, those memories were still etched in her soul and had already become a part of her.

Suppressing the sadness in her heart, she smiled and said, "Cousin, Sister-in-law, it's rare for you to visit me. I thought you had long forgotten your sister."

Hearing the familiar voice, Song Li placed the bamboo cup down and turned his head. Seeing his cousin looking plumper than before, he was relieved.

Standing up, he said, "Yuyu, it's been a long time since we met. How are you?"

Lu Jueyu stood in front of her cousin, turned a few times, then said, "Cousin, I'm good and happy. Look at how well-fed I am now."

Song Li was 26 years older than his cousin. When she was born, the entire family was overjoyed.

If not for the limitations between men and women, he would have liked to check her from head to toe. To him, his little cousin was like his own daughter.

Now, seeing that she was happier and healthier than before, he was pleased and said, "Good, good, good!"

Li Chenmo placed the tray on the table and said, "Brother-in-law, my wife said that you like steamed buns the most, so she heated some up for you to try."

When Lu Jueyu heard this, she glanced at her husband and gave him a thumbs-up in her heart. Her husband really knew how to ask for praise.

As expected, Song Li looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Yuyu still remembers that Brother likes steamed buns."

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Of course. The kindness and care my uncles and cousins showed me, I will never forget."

After they took their seats, Lu Jueyu handed them each a warm steamed bun and said, "Brother, I heard about what happened in your family from my mother. I know what my eldest cousin-in-law did and what happened to Xiao Min."

"If you and my sister-in-law need any help, please tell me. We are family, so don't be polite or feel embarrassed," she added.

At first, Zhao Ya thought that her husband's cousin would be someone arrogant and stingy, like her eldest and second sisters-in-law had said. So, she was uncertain about visiting.

But after hearing her words and seeing how well Lu Jueyu treated them, she no longer held back and said, "Sister-in-law, we are sorry for coming so suddenly. But if we had any other way, we wouldn't have come to trouble you and your family."

Seeing her cousin-in-law crying, Lu Jueyu patted her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, just tell me how I can help. No matter how strained our relationship has been in the past years, I have never treated my cousin and you as strangers."

Encouraged by her words, Zhao Ya nodded and explained, "Sister-in-law, we heard that your husband and his brothers were able to find some grains and vegetables in the mountains. I wonder if it's possible for your husband to show my husband and sons the way?"

When they heard this, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo understood the situation. It seems that Song Li's family no longer have any food at home. While it was good to show them the location, the risk of getting injured or even killed in the mountains was high.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chenmo said, "Sister-in-law, Brother-in-law, I can show you the way, but the dangers of the mountains should not be underestimated. You might get injured or even lose your life while venturing into them."

Hearing this, Zhao Ya hesitated, but Song Li and Song Wen were delighted.

"Brother-in-law, we would be grateful if you could lead us," Song Li said.

Li Chenmo observed them and didn't see any timidity in their eyes. After a moment, he nodded and said, "It's not early anymore, so if we go today, we won't be able to return before dark."

"Brother-in-law, prepare the tools, sacks, fish baskets, and bamboo baskets first. Tomorrow, we will leave at dawn."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother-in-law!" Song Li agreed without hesitation.

Seeing how excited her husband and son were, Zhao Ya swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue.

Sitting across from her, Lu Jueyu noticed this and asked, "Brother, do you still have grains at home?"

When Song Li heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said nothing.

Fearing that her cousin would misunderstand her, Lu Jueyu explained, "Brother, I don't mean to look down on you. But Xiao Min and Ah Wen are still growing. If they don't get enough nutrition, it will hinder their growth and even affect their health."

"As their aunt, I'm just worried about their well-being. If my words offended you, I apologize," she added.

Hearing her words, Song Li let out a sigh and said, "How could Brother blame you? It's just that Brother feels ashamed. This is the first time we have come to visit, and we are already troubling your husband with our matters. How can we borrow food from you again?"
