Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1500

Chapter 1500: Winter Is Coming ( 2 )

During winter, the daytime was shorter than during summer. At six o’clock, the sky had completely darkened. Liu Piao sat in the living room with a brazier lit. A small pot of ginger soup was boiling on top of it.

She kept stretching her neck to see if her husband had returned. After waiting another half hour, she finally heard the sound of the bullock cart. Without putting on her jacket, she rushed out of the house and opened the gate.

Seeing his wife come out, Zhang Ermu was taken aback and asked, "Wife, why are you coming out without wearing a jacket? It’s cold outside, you should go inside first."

Liu Piao opened the gate wider and said, "You should come in quickly. Don’t catch a cold."

As a man, Zhang Ermu didn’t feel as cold as his wife. He was used to working outdoors in winter and no longer feared the cold. But he was worried about her, so he quickly drove the bullock cart into the bamboo shed.

The bamboo shed had been rebuilt using bamboo and thatch. It kept the shed warm and helped the bull avoid getting sick in winter.

Liu Piao locked the gate and went to the bamboo shed. When she saw how many things her husband had brought back, she asked, "Husband, didn’t you say you wouldn’t go to the mountains again? Why did you go?"

"I went to check the traps. Even if we don’t go to the mountains, we can check them every few days. In this low temperature, even if the prey is dead, it won’t spoil," Zhang Ermu replied.

"I also found some winter vegetables and brought them back. We can pickle them later," he added, showing his wife today’s haul.

Hearing this, Liu Piao said worriedly, "Husband, with the cold weather, it might snow in the next few days. You shouldn’t go into the mountains anymore. We have enough food and firewood already."

Noticing her concern, Zhang Ermu gently patted her head and said, "Alright, I will listen to you."

After their brief conversation, the two of them carried the items into the kitchen. Liu Piao poured her husband a bowl of ginger soup before heating up dinner, while he took a quick bath.

While the two of them enjoyed their meal, Zhang Damu’s family was suffering. They were used to taking advantage of Zhang Ermu and the Zhang parents, so they hadn’t made enough preparations for winter.

At that moment, they were shivering as they huddled together in their bedroom. They didn’t have enough firewood, so they could only warm one kang bed. Seven people lived there, and the bed was far too small for everyone to sleep comfortably.

Not only was firewood scarce, but the roof also needed repair. Some thatch was damaged, so cold wind blew into the house now and then, making it hard to fall asleep.

"Husband, you should go to your parents’ house tomorrow and ask Ermu to fix our roof. Also, borrow some food and firewood from him," Zhang Damu’s wife said, pulling the cotton quilt tighter.

Hearing this, Zhang Damu asked, "Do you think he’ll come if I ask?"

"You are his brother, he has to listen to you," she said with a frown.

Zhang Damu snorted, and said with annoyance, "He is no longer a boy you can fool. He has a wife now, and Liu Piao is not someone you can offend."
