Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1047

Amused by his wife’s smug expression, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, "I will clean the kitchen. You can start setting up the pots and woks."

"Okay." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Both of them divided the task and started working. While Li Chenmo swept the floor and tidied up, Lu Jueyu took out additional firewood and stacked it neatly in the corner. Next, she retrieved large woks, pots, and bamboo steamers from her space.

She also brought the water vat placed in the public kitchen into her space for cleaning. In less than a minute, she reappeared with the cleaned vat, which she filled with water from her space for cooking purposes.

Water for washing dishes could be fetched from the well nearby. So, she didn’t bother to prepare the water.

It took over an hour for them to clean and prepare the kitchen. Just as they lit the fire to boil water, they heard noise coming from the warehouse direction.

"Wife, wait here. I will check the situation out," said Li Chenmo.

Knowing the compound was safe, Lu Jueyu nodded and continued organizing the seasonings and sauces on the kitchen table with ease.

When Li Chenmo reached the warehouse, he saw a lively group of people chatting. Most were middle-aged or young women, along with a few young and middle-aged men.

Walking over, he greeted them, "Hello, everyone."

Startled by his voice, the group turned around. The young women blushed at the sight of his handsome face, while the middle-aged women’s eyes lit up.

Most of them thought the same thing,

’What a catch! If this man is single, I can introduce him to my family!’

Used to such reactions, he maintained a neutral expression and introduced himself, "Hello, I’m Li Chenmo."

Hearing this, Pan Chiyan stepped out of the warehouse and said, "Brother Chenmo, you are here so early."

Recognizing a familiar face, Li Chenmo smiled and explained, "My wife and I thought the kitchen might need cleaning, so we came early. We also brought woks, pans, and steamers, just in case."

Those women’s enthusiasm dimmed upon hearing he was married. Amused by their reaction, Pan Chiyan thought,

’The Li family really has good genes. I wonder if my future nieces or nephews will inherit their father’s looks. It would be ideal if they could inherit the Li family’s intelligence too.’

Pan Chiyan didn’t look down on his family’s genetics, but with a foodie like Pan Meijia as his nephew and niece’s mother, he worried the children might be too easily swayed by food and get scammed, just like their mother.

"Brother Chiyan, we should move the ingredients to the backyard first so they can start preparing," Li Chenmo suggested.

Hearing this, everyone nodded eagerly, ready to begin. Since it was getting late, Pan Chiyan quickly assigned tasks to everyone.

Li Chenmo joined in to help move the ingredients to the backyard. When the others saw him easily carrying three sacks of grain, they were astonished.

One of the young women leaned closer to her friend and whispered, "I never thought a villager could be this handsome. And so strong! Look at his muscles. I wonder what it feels like to be hugged and carried by him."

Before she could say more, a middle-aged woman slapped her arm and scolded, "What nonsense are you saying? Is that something an unmarried girl should be saying?"

Another woman joined in. "Nephew, you should better stop staring. When their family came to propose, his wife almost beat that Wang girl for staring at her husband. Don’t be fooled by her delicate looks—she is as fierce as a tigress. You wouldn’t want to provoke her."

The young woman pouted when she heard this and muttered, "I’m just looking. Is there a need to be so petty?"

"Even if she is petty, what can you do about it? The man you’re staring at is her husband. If someone ogled your husband and thought about being hugged or carried by him, would you let it slide?" the middle-aged woman retorted with a frown.

"I—"
