Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1054

Dong Li also enjoyed the fruit soup and exclaimed, "Mother, this soup is so refreshing and delicious!"

Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "There are plenty. You can have another bowl if you want."

"Thank you, Mother," Dong Li said happily.

The amount of fruit soup was more than enough for 50 tables so there was no need to be so stingy. Wanting to show her appreciation, Lu Jueyu gave each of the helpers a bowl to quench their thirst and cool off.

When they received their bowls, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Fresh fruit was a rare treat since even dried vegetables were hard to come by these days. No one expected to enjoy such a luxurious dish simply by helping in the kitchen.

"Everyone, we can only have one bowl each for now. If there are any leftovers after the banquet, you are welcome to take some home," Lu Jueyu said warmly.

Hearing this, the helpers expressed their gratitude and understanding.

"This fruit soup is so delicious. I feel much more energized now!" a middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, did you use milk to make this soup?" a younger woman asked curiously.

Lu Jueyu didn’t hide it and explained, "My husband and I bought some milk powder and honey recently at the state-owned supply store, so I added them to the soup to enhance the flavor."

The others gasped in surprise as soon as they heard her words. No wonder the fruit soup was so delicious! It not only used fresh fruits but also milk and honey. These ingredients were not something that they could get even with money.

Milk powder requires industrial coupons, while wild honey depends on luck as no one knows when it will be in stock. This couple is so lucky, they can buy honey on their visit to the store!

While everyone was enjoying the fruit soup and praising Lu Jueyu for her generosity, the young woman who had been eyeing Li Chenmo earlier spoke with a hint of sourness.

"Sister, you are wasting money like this. Aren’t you afraid your husband will scold you? As a wife, you should learn how to save and plan. If it were me, I wouldn’t use such expensive ingredients for a banquet. It’s better to save them for my children," she added with an unmistakable undertone.

Everyone, including Lu Jueyu, caught the veiled challenge in her words. The implication was clear and it’s impossible to mistake her intention. This young woman thought she would make a better wife for Li Chenmo.

Lu Jueyu didn’t like others staring at her man, so she was ready to fight. But before Lu Jueyu could respond to the young woman’s provocation, Dong Li interjected coldly, "Who are you to comment on my parents’ relationship?"

"You are not my father, so how would you know what he thinks? You are not my mother, so how do you know how she lives her life?" he asked sharply.

Dong Li scoffed when he heard her hypocrisy and said, "Oh, so you are just another shameless woman trying to provoke my mother and ruin my parent’s relationship." _{freёweɓnovel.com}
