Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1318

Lin Meifeng gestured for them to enter the house. After they took their seats, she poured them cups of cold tea and said, "I'm sorry, we only have cold tea at home. I hope my sister-in-law and brother-in-law won't mind."

Pan Meijia took a sip and said, "This tea tastes good. It's fragrant and doesn't have any bitterness. Sister Meifeng, what tea did you use?"

Lin Meifeng took a seat beside Pan Meijia and replied, "I picked some chrysanthemums from the mountain foothills near my home and dried them. This is chrysanthemum tea. It helps relax the nerves and reduce internal heat."

Jiang Ziyu tasted the tea and smiled. The tea was indeed good, with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. He placed his cup down and asked, "Comrade Lin, did you add sugar to the tea?"

"I didn't put any sugar but added some flower nectar. The hint of sweetness comes from that," Lin Meifeng replied.

Lu Jueyu tried the tea and said, "Sister Meifeng, you are hardworking, knowledgeable, and skillful. There must be people lining up to ask for your hand in marriage."

When she heard this, Lin Meifeng chuckled and replied with a sigh, "Sister-in-law, I'm not as good as you say. To be honest, my mother did find me a few prospects, but the engagements always fell through."

"How can that be? Sister Meifeng, even though we have only known each other for a short while, I know how wonderful you are. Those men must be blind to reject someone as good as you," Pan Meijia said with a frown.

Lin Meifeng was amused by her puffed cheeks and replied, "Actually, I was the one unwilling to marry."

"Why?"

This time, it was Jiang Ziyu who asked, which surprised Lin Meifeng. Usually, in this kind of conversation, men would only listen and let the women talk.

After a moment of surprise, she asked, "Comrade, if your parents found someone who could be your mother or even grandmother to become your wife, would you be willing?"

"Even if several young men came to propose, most of them were widowed with children. The unmarried ones were either gamblers, drunkards, or men who liked to beat people."

"Marrying those kinds of men would be equal to ruining the rest of my life. Rather than living a life worse than death, I chose to stay single."

When they heard her words, Lu Jueyu was surprised. It was rare for a woman in this period to have such a mindset.

Maybe many women were unwilling to marry the men arranged by their families, but how many actually went against their families, stood firm in their beliefs, and decisively took their fate into their own hands?

After hearing her words and seeing how resolute Lin Meifeng was, Jiang Ziyu was even more satisfied. He was sure she was the one he needed and wanted as his wife. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Since she was open-minded, he decided to be honest and state his purpose for visiting today.

After a while, Lin Meifeng finally came back to her senses. Opening her mouth, she wanted to refuse, as she had no intention of marrying far away. But before she could say a word, she heard her aunt's voice.

"Meifeng, I think it's not a bad idea to try getting to know each other first."

The moment they heard this, everyone stood up and looked toward the entrance. Seeing Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, Uncle Lin, we are sorry for coming unannounced."

Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. Have a seat, everyone."

After the two of them sat down, Lin Meifeng poured a cup of cold tea for them before sitting beside her aunt.

Seeing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, we came today to ask for your and Uncle Lin's permission regarding Sister Meifeng's matter."

Aunt Lin drank the cold tea before replying meaningfully, "I heard this young man's words. To be honest, this is the first time I have met someone who proposed so directly to a woman."

Hearing her words, Jiang Ziyu stood up and said, "Aunt Lin, Uncle Lin, I apologize if I have offended you. But I'm serious about marrying your niece. I would be grateful if you could give me a chance to prove myself to her."

When Uncle Lin heard this, he laughed and said, "Young man, calm down. Have a seat first."
