Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1397: Last Option ( 1 )

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu woke up before dawn and went into her space with her husband.

After they washed up, Li Chenmo went out for his morning jog and exercise, while Lu Jueyu prepared the ingredients for today's wedding banquet.

Since everyone had been given a day off today, they would definitely come to join the joyous day. So, they had to prepare some soup or snacks to entertain the villagers.

They had agreed to have ten tables for the wedding banquet, but considering that there would be villagers who came to help with the wedding banquet's preparation, they had to set two tables aside for them.

After she counted for a moment, she decided to prepare enough ingredients for fifteen tables.

As for the soup and snacks for the villagers, she prepared ingredients for scallion pancakes and fish soup. For the wedding candies, she prepared some sesame maltose candies.

Knowing that the news about the wedding would reach the neighboring villages, the amount she prepared for the fish soup and scallion pancakes was equal to a week's worth of food.

When she finished preparing the ingredients, she used the tools in her space to process them. It was easier than doing it manually. To avoid suspicion, she left some ingredients so when the villagers came, she could take those out for them to work on.

After she was done with the preparation, she took a shower and waited for her husband to return. The two of them had breakfast before they left the space.

Reappearing in the bedroom outside the space, Li Chenmo said, "Wife, I'm going to the pig pen first. Don't push yourself and take a rest when you feel tired."

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "I know, don't worry about me. You have to be careful when you go to the mountains."

Recalling something, she added, "Husband, about the box of gold you found, I compared it with the map given by Doctor Xie. It didn't match."

"Wife, I will find time to dig for the gold buried by Doctor Xie. It's better to keep it in your space," Li Chenmo said.

"Okay."

After a brief conversation, Li Chenmo went to the pig pen with Dong Li, while Lu Jueyu went to the backyard and took out all the ingredients from her space.

When Dong Huang woke up, the day had brightened. As she went to the backyard to wash up, she saw her mother washing vegetables and said, "Good morning, Mother."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Good morning, Xiao Huang."

Dong Huang walked over and gave her mother a kiss before she said, "Mother, Ah Lin said that Grandma Feng will come help with the wedding banquet."

Since it was a kind gesture from the Feng family, Lu Jueyu didn't refuse and said, "Okay."

"Go wash up first and come help Mother," she added.

Dong Huang nodded and said, "Okay!"

While their family was busy with their morning routine, the Yang family in town was in chaos.

Due to Cai Bocheng's hidden identity as a spy and the leader of several big businesses in the black market, the entire Yang family was dragged into the muddy water.

Except for Feng Heng, who was now being taken care of by Yang Mengyao's maternal aunt, everyone in their family was thrown into jail.

At this moment, Cai Bocheng and the Yang family's case had even affected several families in the capital. One of them was the Wei family.

Sitting in the living room, the entire Wei family was shrouded in a gloomy and tense atmosphere.

After being injured by her deceased husband's son, Chen Jiande—who was also known as Gou Dan, it took Wei Zhiying a long time to recover from her post-surgery.

Before they could feel relieved, they suddenly received a summoning order from the military due to Chen Bo's involvement with Cai Bocheng.

Even after Wei Zhiying told her parents about her husband's true face, they still believed that Chen Bo was the victim.

Only now, when their family was facing the possibility of losing everything and having to go to the labor camp, did Father Wei and Mother Wei realize that they were blind and had been played by Chen Bo for so many years.

"Husband, what should we do now? The one involved in this matter is Chen Bo—why is our family also implicated?" Mother Wei said worriedly.

Father Wei pinched the bridge of his nose and replied wearily, "His name is registered in our family's household, and he is our family's son-in-law. Even if he is already dead, we still have to undergo an investigation."

"You just took your post in the capital not long ago, and now you are implicated by this case. Will it affect our daughter and grandsons?" Mother Wei asked again.

Hearing this, Father Wei shook his head and said, "Even if we weren't involved in this case directly, our family still used the money Chen Bo received from Cai Bocheng. Indirectly, we are the accomplices."

"Can you ask your friends or relatives to help?" Mother Wei asked again.

Father Wei looked at her and said with a sigh, "I did, but right now, no one dares to get involved in this matter."

Mother Wei was angry when she heard this.

She twisted her handkerchief as she said, "Those people are too much! When we were at our peak, they came to visit every day. We gave them so many benefits, but now that we need help, none of them are willing to step up!"

After being silent for a long time, Wei Zhiying said, "That's how humans are. Mother, you shouldn't be angry with them and harm your health."

"Right now, our family is the witness, and it's not certain that we will be punished. So, you shouldn't contact those people or try to use the back door or it will put our family in a more dangerous situation."

Hearing her daughter's words, Mother Wei sighed.
