Chapter 21: All is Fair In War

Lu Jueyu took out two wooden bowls and two wooden plates, put some food on them, and put them into the bamboo basket. She keeps the baskets in her space as her space can keep items in top condition.

As soon as the bamboo basket was put away, her sister-in-law entered the kitchen. When Chen Anwen saw the braised pork, egg soup and white rice, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. For the villagers, unless there is a wedding or some important celebration, they do not cook white rice or meat dishes. Seeing the food in front of her, she thought that today was someone's wedding day ah!

"Jueyu, you.. Did you make all of these?" She asked in disbelief.

"En. Sister-in-law, help me bring it out. We should eat it while it's hot." Without noticing the surprise on her sister-in-law's face, Lu Jueyu said casually, and came to the living room with braised pork and rice.

Not long after she left, Wang Muxiao entered the kitchen and exclaimed, "Aiya, who made these dishes?!"

As she shouted, she hurried to the cabinet to check the meat and white rice.

Chen Anwen looked at her with complicated eyes, and said, "Jueyu cooked it."

Hearing these words, Wang Muxiao stopped rummaging through the cabinet and heaved a sigh of relief. She turned to Chen Anwen and said, "That's good. If Jueyu cooks, she won't use our food. Li Chenmo must have bought these."

After Wang Muxiao finished speaking, she picked up a large bowl full of egg drop soup and walked to the living room. Chen Anwen could only pick up the stir-fried vegetables and followed her to the living room. When they walked into the living room, they saw that everyone was already sitting around the table with complicated expressions.

While feeling sorry for the money Li Chenmo spent on white rice and meat, they couldn't help licking their lips and swallowing when they smelled the fragrance of meat wafting from the dishes. Not to mention children, even adults couldn't help salivating.

After the soup and dishes were set, Chen Anwen sat beside her husband and glanced at her in-laws. Mother Lu's expression was not very good, while Father Lu was expressionless.

Seeing that no one moved their chopsticks, Lu Jueyu said, "Father, Mother, let's eat while it's hot."

Her parents looked at her, sighed, and picked a piece of braised pork. After they took a bite, everyone moved their chopsticks. They started attacking the plate of braised pork the moment they picked up their chopsticks. As a chef, Lu Jueyu's craftsmanship is top-notch. What's more, she also used the water in her own space which increased the taste of the food.

At first, Mother Lu wanted to remind her about how to live well. But the moment she bit the meat, she forgot what she wanted to say. All she could think about was the juice bursting in her mouth. The smell of meat filled her mouth and nostrils. Before she knew it, she had already eaten several pieces of meat.

For the first time, no one spoke during the meal. Usually, they chat about little things that happened to them throughout the day. But tonight, they're busy eating. They worry that if they talk, the meat will be eaten by others, and they will eat one bite less.

Their attack power amazed Lu Jueyu. Seeing the rapidly shrinking braised meat, she quickly picked some for Lu Wenyi and Lu Wenmu. The two children are still young and eat slower than adults. If she doesn't give them more, the braised pork will be eaten by others when they finish eating the meat in the bowl.

She uses pork belly for tonight's braised pork. The pattern of pork belly resembles marbles with layers of fat and lean meat. As a person who grew up in modern society, Lu Jueyu prefers to eat lean meat rather than fat meat. So, when everyone else chose braised pork, she chose stir-fried vegetables.

In less than ten minutes, a large plate of braised pork was eaten. Seeing that there was still a lot of rice left, Lu Han, Lu Cheng, and Father Lu scooped up another bowl. When they finished filling their third bowls, Father Lu had already poured the braised pork sauce on his bowl.

Seeing this, Lu Han and Lu Cheng were stunned. Sensing their gazes, Father Lu snorted coldly and continued eating. All is fair in war. If you eat slowly, you can't blame others for eating more than you.

Since there was no meat, everyone ate egg soup and fried vegetables. Although it was just vegetables and mushrooms, the vegetables and mushrooms were fresh and crunchy. The more they eat, the bigger the appetite. In only thirty minutes, they finished their dinner without leaving even a drop of soup.

Lu Jueyu looked at her family in astonishment. They really could eat a lot!

She smiled as they patted their bellies. She got up to clean up the table, when she heard Chen Anwen say, "You have already cooked, second sister-in-law and I will clean up. Don't you still need to bring food for Li Chenmo?"

"Then I will trouble my sisters-in-law." Lu Jueyu didn't refuse their offers and nodded.

After dinner, she walked to Li's house with an empty basket. When she got outside the gate, she took out the food from her space, placed it inside the bamboo basket, and walked in. When she was near the house, she heard Li Chenmo talking to his father.

"Third son, are you sure about it?" Father Li asked.

"Father, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I hope you can help me with this matter."

"Now that you've decided, I'll try to talk to them." Father Li sighed.

"Thank you, father."

Lu Jueyu didn't know what they were talking about, but she didn't intend to ask either. So, when she walks, she makes a louder noise. As she expected, they both stopped talking when they heard her footsteps.

Chapter 22: Change of Plan

As soon as Lu Jueyu entered the house, she saw Father Li coming out of the bedroom while helping Li Chenmo. Seeing her coming, Li Chenmo's eyes lit up.

"Jueyu, come in quickly." Li Chenmo waved to her. If it weren't for his leg injury , he might have walked toward her.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lu Jueyu also felt that she was in a better mood. She put the bamboo basket on the table and said, "Uncle Li, Brother Chenmo, I made some braised pork for dinner. You two should eat more."

When she put the food on the table, Father Li was stunned. He knew that his son had given all the money to Lu Jueyu and let her use it as she wished. But he never expected that she would actually use the money to buy rice and meat. Looking at the portion size, it was enough for four adults. What a waste to eat white rice and so much meat all at once. It's better to save it for the new year.

Father Li suddenly remembered the rumors about Lu Jueyu and glanced at her. Although he was very upset about her spending money like this, as a man, he restrained himself and said nothing. He considers it a blessing that his wife is no longer around. With his wife's temper, if she sees his future daughter-in-law being so wasteful, there might be a big scene.

Father Li looked at his son and saw that he was smiling all the time, so he chose to close his eyes. As long as they are happy, he, as a father, will not interfere with their lives. After all, his sons are all grown up and they can make their own decisions.

When Li's father was full of dilemma, Li Chenmo was very happy when he saw the dishes. He wasn't afraid of her wasting his money, but he was afraid that she wouldn't want to use his money. Now that she was willing to spend his money, he doesn't have to worry too much about her changing her mind. If it was possible, he wanted to spoil her until she could no longer live without him.

Not knowing what they were thinking, Lu Jueyu served them a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. She handed them the chopsticks and said, "Uncle Li, Brother Chenmo, please try it quickly, see if it suits your taste."

Although his mouth was already watering when he smelled the aroma of braised pork, Li Chenmo drank the egg soup first and then tasted the meat. The moment he tried the meat, his eyes widened in surprise.

Although he knew that Lu Jueyu's cooking skills were great, he was still surprised when he tasted today's dishes. Because he was injured, she only cooked some light dishes for him. Therefore, it was his first time trying such a delicious dish.

Although it is not suitable to eat greasy and heavy flavored food because of the injury, Lu Jueyu thinks it is okay to eat it occasionally. What's more, she used the water in the space to make these dishes. So, it should be fine.

If Father Li thought the food was too much for two people before, after tasting it, he felt that the food was perfect. Both he and his son can eat two bowls of rice. For the first time after the Great Famine, Father Li finally had a full belly.

They finished eating in less than twenty minutes, which made Lu Jueyu a little worried. Eating too fast was not good for their digestive system, so she made some tea to help them digest their food. After she finished clearing the table, Father Li went back to his room to rest.

Sitting beside Li Chenmo, Lu Jueyu said, "Brother Chenmo, in a few days, my brothers will come to build waterways. In the future, we can use mountain spring water instead of well water."

"En." He listened to her and nodded.

Just as she was about to leave, Li Chenmo said, "Jueyu, my father will visit your parents tomorrow."

She looked at him questioningly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's about our wedding. You've been going back and forth between our houses to take care of me since I got back. It's winter and it's getting colder every day. I think it's best to hold our marriage earlier. After marriage, it will be much more convenient. What do you think about this?"

Lu Jueyu was surprised by his thoughts. Although she had decided to live in the moment and not think about the heroine, she was caught off guard when he suddenly wanted to advance the wedding date.

Seeing her surprised expression, Li Chenmo quickly added, "If you disagree, we can follow our original plan. It's just that I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get sick, so you don't have to cook for me during this time. My father can take care of my food."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu suddenly blurted out with a frown, "It won't do."

Li Chenmo was taken aback, and asked, "Jueyu, what do you mean?"

When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that you need to replenish your health. You need balanced nutrients, so it's better for me to cook for you. "

Li Chenmo looked at her and fell silent. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No. I promise to take care of my body, so you don't have to worry about me. I don't want you to get sick while taking care of me. What should I do if something happens to you?"

Lu Jueyu saw that she couldn't negotiate with him as he had already made up his mind and refused to compromise. She didn't expect him to be so stubborn, and she was annoyed. They glanced at each other, neither willing to back down. In the end, she still failed to win against him, and said helplessly, "Alright. I will listen to you."
