Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife
Chapter 1489 - 1489: Visiting The New Neighbor

"Not only did they not thank anyone, they even dared to look down on us just because we work the land. If not for us working under the sun every day, would they even have food to eat? They are just a pair of ungrateful people!" Yi Jiao said angrily.

When Chen Xiang heard his wife's complaints, he was surprised. He knew that people coming from the city would be more arrogant than the town people, but he never expected them to be this rude.

He filled his wife's empty cup with warm water and coaxed her, "Wife, calm down. Don't hurt your body by getting angry at unrelated people."

Yi Jiao finished the cup of water in several gulps before she said, "Chen Xiang, I'm telling you now. It's fine if you want to have interaction with your nephews and Wei Zhiying. But if you dare to get close to those two old fools, then you can sleep in the kitchen!"

The moment he heard this, Chen Xiang quickly raised his fingers and said, "Wife, I promise, I will never get close to those two old fools."

After hearing her husband's words, Yi Jiao snorted and said, "Count that you know what's good for you."

While Chen Xiang was busy coaxing his wife, Lu Jueyu and her family were preparing some things for the new neighbors.

As Chen Jianmin's master, Li Chenmo treated him as his half-son. He not only teaches him all his knowledge as how he teaches Dong Li, he also treats him almost equal with his own children.

Now that the Chen family's relatives were staying not far from them, it's reasonable for them to go over and help out.

After all, close neighbors were better than distant relatives. They wouldn't know when they would need others' help, so it's better to build a good relationship with the neighbors.

Li Chenmo and the children were tasked with harvesting the vegetables and fruits, while Lu Jueyu was tasked to pack them into bamboo baskets and also prepare some cured meat, salted fish, and medicine for common diseases, such as colds and fevers.

When they were done packing, they finally locked the doors and went to the Wei family's house. They only walked for twenty minutes and reached the house. Seeing that the gate was opened, they walked into the yard.

"Hello, anyone at home?" Lu Jueyu asked.

Not long after, Wei Zhiying walked out from the backyard while wiping her hands on the apron tied on her waist. Seeing the unfamiliar faces, she asked, "Hello, comrade. May I ask, who are you looking for?"

Seeing her, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, my family lives not far from here. We heard from Jianmin that his eldest aunt and cousins had moved into this house. So, we come to see if there is something we can help you with."

Hearing that they knew Chen Jianmin, Wei Zhiying quickly said, "Everyone, please come inside."

She led them to the living room and said, "Please have a seat."

Li Chenmo and Dong Li put down their bamboo baskets and everyone took a seat.

Wei Zhiying poured a cup of water for them each and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother-in-law, I apologize for the lack of hospitality."

Nodding with understanding, Lu Jueyu said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it."

After she took her seat, Wei Zhiying said, "Sister-in-law, my name is Wei Zhiying. May I ask what's your name?"

"My name is Lu Jueyu, and this is my husband, Li Chenmo. These two are my children, Dong Li and Dong Huang," she replied with a smile.

Not to mention the different surnames, even the age of the mother and son didn't match up. Noticing this, Wei Zhiying's eyes flashed with surprise, but she didn't ask.

Lu Jueyu's impression of her improved when she saw this. She smiled and explained, "Sister-in-law, my family adopted Dong Li and Dong Huang. We agreed to let them keep their surname so they can continue their parents' legacy."

Hearing this, Wei Zhiying said with admiration, "Sister-in-law, you and your husband are really kind and generous."

Without even needing to add more words, everyone knew what she meant. Raising their own children is already hard. So, for them to be willing to raise other people's children, they must be open-minded, very generous, and kind.

After taking a sip of water, Lu Jueyu said, "Sister-in-law, my family grows our own vegetables and fruits at home. We don't know what gifts to congratulate you on moving into a new house, so we brought some over for you and your family to taste. I hope you won't dislike it."

The moment Wei Zhiying heard this, she quickly said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, how could I dislike it? It's hard to get fresh vegetables nowadays, let alone fruits. If my children saw these things, they would jump from happiness."

Hearing this, Dong Li's eyes flickered with laughter and amusement as he imagined Chen Mingze jumping around due to happiness. While the parents met for the first time, the children often went to play together. So, they are already familiar with each other's personality.

After chatting for a while, Lu Jueyu finally said, "Sister-in-law, if your family needs any help, feel free to find my family. We live in a house on a hill."

Wei Zhiying was stunned by her words and said, "So, it's your family who live in that courtyard house."

When she realized her loss of composure, she smiled apologetically and added, "Sister-in-law, please don't feel offended. I only think that your house is very beautiful. I can see that you take care of your house very meticulously."

Lu Jueyu chuckled and replied, "Sister-in-law, you can be more casual with me. After all, my family and Chen Jianmin have a close relationship. He could be counted as my husband and my half-son."

After she said this, Dong Li said, "Aunt Wei, my sister and I also have a good relationship with Mingze and Yuze. We often play together, so you can just ask us if you need any help."

Dong Huang nodded and added, "Aunt Wei, Brother Jianmin said that his family will come over to help you plow the land tomorrow. My brother and I will also come over to help."
