Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1428: Similar But Different

After waking from her nap, Lu Jueyu cooked some dishes and prepared a few snacks to store in her space before leaving the space.

As she appeared in her bedroom, the sound of bells caught her attention. Wondering who was coming so early, she headed to the front yard and opened the gate.

"Who is it?" she called out.

"Sister-in-law, it's me, Li Sang."

Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and opened the gate. Seeing that Li Sang had brought Shitou with him, she asked, "Brother Li, what brings you here so early?"

Since she was home alone, she didn't invite them in to avoid unnecessary gossip. Instead, she stepped outside.

Seeing this, Li Sang wasn't offended and said with an apologetic smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for bothering you so early."

Noticing his hesitation, Lu Jueyu said, "Brother Li, if there's something you want to say, just tell me."

Standing beside his father, Shitou looked anxious as his father hesitated for too long. Finally, after a moment of silence, he blurted out, "Aunt Jueyu, my father wants to ask if I can stay with your family."

Lu Jueyu was taken aback when she heard this and asked, "Brother Li, if Shitou lives with my family, won't your mother be angry?"

Since his son had already spoken, Li Sang sighed and explained, "Sister-in-law, I have sent my mother to stay with my eldest half-brother. I planned to let Shitou stay with his sister, but he refused and insisted on staying with you."

"I told him it was inappropriate, but this kid insisted. So, I came today to ask if it would be possible for him to stay with your family."

Lu Jueyu was surprised by the explanation. She knew how stubborn Aunt Li was when it came to Shitou, so she didn't expect her to leave so easily.

After a moment of thought, she said, "I have no objection to Shitou living with us, but I need to ask my husband first."

Li Sang nodded and replied, "Of course, that's only right."

After a brief pause, he added, "Sister-in-law, if it's possible for Shitou to live with you, I will provide some supplies and five yuan a month for his living expenses."

Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "Brother Li, let's talk about that after I get my husband's permission."

Since nothing was confirmed yet, there was no need to discuss the details. Li Sang nodded and said, "Then, we will wait for your news."

"Good."

After their brief conversation, Li Sang left with his son.

Just as Lu Jueyu turned to close the gate, someone called out, "Comrade, please wait a moment!"

She reopened the gate and saw a postal worker pushing his bicycle toward her. After parking it, he pulled out a large, thick envelope from his bag and handed it to her.

"Comrade, here's your letter," he said.

Lu Jueyu accepted it with a polite smile and said, "Comrade, thank you for your hard work. Please wait a moment, I will bring you a cup of water."

The postal worker didn't refuse and nodded, "Thank you."

Lu Jueyu went inside, fetched a cup of water, and also packed two cucumbers and several cherry tomatoes, wrapping them in banana leaves. When she returned, the postal worker was wiping sweat from his forehead.

"Comrade, here's some water," she said, handing him the cup.

"Thank you, Comrade," he replied, drinking gratefully.

After taking back the empty cup, she handed him the vegetables and said, "These are homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes. Comrade, you can eat them to quench your thirst."

The postal worker accepted them with a smile and left. After locking the gate, Lu Jueyu returned to the living room and opened the envelope. She took out a letter and began reading.

After a moment, she frowned and muttered, "It seems the food shortage isn't only worsening in the small cities and towns. Even the Capital is starting to become unstable."

At that moment, she tried to recall the history she had learned in her past life and compare it with the current situation.

After a long while, she rubbed her aching temples and sighed deeply. Although many events seemed familiar, the situation in this world differed from the one she remembered. Aside from some key leaders, most people were completely different.

Thinking about the author who wrote this book, she couldn't help but grumble, "Author, if you want to write about this period, at least study some history. Is it okay to create chaos just to excite the readers?"

Though she complained, she knew it was pointless. Her historical knowledge from her past life could only help her predict a few major events. For now, she would have to consult her husband about how to handle this.

After making up her mind, she stored the money sent by Bai Xue'er into her space and began summarizing key points of senior high school subjects for her son.

At the same time, Han Yuheng received the telegram from Han Yuluo. After reading it, a smile spread across his face, and he hurried to inform his wife.

He entered the bedroom and said, "Wife, Yuluo will be returning to get married in a few days. He might arrive next week."

Bai Luyun was feeding their son when she heard this. Raising her head, she asked, "Husband, will Liling return with him?"

Han Yuheng shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure. But if he returns, he should bring the children with him."

Hearing this, Bai Luyun beamed with joy. But after a moment, her smile faded, and a deep frown appeared.

Seeing her expression, Han Yuheng sat beside her and asked gently, "Wife, what's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Luyun said quietly, "Husband, I'm worried that Liling won't want to see us."

When Han Yuheng heard this, his eyes filled with guilt. He remembered how, when he was under that strange voice's control, Liling had witnessed everything he did with that woman in the warehouse.
