2.39% Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife / Chapter 30: Dowry

Chapter 30: Dowry

When Lu Jueyu was back in her room, Mother Lu knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing her mother, Lu Jueyu asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Mother Lu closed the door and sat beside her. She took out a small bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into Lu Jueyu's hand. She looked at the bag and asked, "Mother, what is this?"

Mother Lu patted her hand lightly and said, "This is your dowry. Although it's not much, this is Mother and Father's blessing. Use it wisely. After marriage, you can only rely on yourself and your husband. Mother and Father can't stay with you like before. If you're being bullied, come back and tell Mother. You have your family behind you. Whoever dares to bully you, we will settle accounts with them. Do not be afraid. Do you understand?"

Hearing Mother Lu's words, Lu Jueyu's eyes were red. Although she will never see her mom again, she gained another Mother in this unfamiliar world and also a family who loves her dearly. She is such a lucky person.

"I understand. Thank you, Mother," she said in a low, hoarse voice.

"Silly child, what are you thanking your mother for?" Mother Lu stroked her hair and said softly.

"You should have a good rest and don't make yourself too tired. Otherwise, you won't look good on your wedding day." Mother Lu added.

"En."

After Mother Lu left, Lu Jueyu opened the bag and counted the money. A total of 50 yuan, and some coupons. With the dowry gift from Li Chenmo, she would have a dowry of 300 yuan. That's a lot of money for a villager, especially for a girl. After all, many people are still patriarchal in this day and age, even when leaders said that women can hold up half the world as men.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, followed by Chen Anwen's voice, "Jueyu, can I go in?"

"Sister-in-law, please come in."

Chen Anwen walked into her room, closed the door, and sat on the Kang bed beside her. She noticed the small bag in Lu Jueyu's hand, and said with a smile, "Jueyu, your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't have any valuable things to add to your dowry, so we can only give you some money. Don't dislike it."

"While it's not much, it's our heartfelt wish for you to have a blissful and happy marriage." Chen Anwen handed her some money while talking.

Lu Jueyu was surprised that her elder brother and his wife would add a dowry to her. Since they have not separated from the family yet, her mother is the one who manages the family money. She only gives them an allowance of six yuan a month, while she only receives two yuan.

She looked at the twenty yuan in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, this..."

"Just keep it. This is also your brother's intention. We only have you as a sister, don't refuse."

After a while, Lu Jueyu said, "Thank you sister-in-law."

"Good. Then you rest, I have to see the children."

Just as Chen Anwen left the room, Wang Muxiao entered her room. She was much more casual than Chen Anwen, sitting directly next to her, and asked in a low voice, "Jueyu, has your eldest sister-in-law come to give you a dowry?"

"En."

"How much does she give you?" Wang Muxiao asked again.

Hearing her question, even Lu Jueyu was taken aback. She unconsciously covered the money in her hand. Wang Muxiao noticed her small movements and said, "Aiya, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I'm just curious."

"Second sister-in-law, I didn't mean that." Lu Jueyu said with some embarrassment.

Wang Muxiao was not angry and just waved her hands while saying, "Forget it. Here, this is for you. Maybe it's not as much as your eldest sister-in-law gave you, but you can't dislike it either."

Lu Jueyu looked at the ten yuan in her hand and said with a smile, "I won't. Thank you, second sister-in-law."

"If you have good things, remember to share them with your natal family."

After leaving these words, Wang Muxiao left her room. Lu Jueyu shook her head. In the past few days, she has roughly understood their personalities. Wang Muxiao was willing to give her ten yuan, which was considered very good already. After all, she was stingy even with her own husband and daughter including herself.

Lu Jueyu put all the money in the drawer in her own space, then went to the warehouse to get some wool, and continued knitting. The sun had set by the time she left her space, and she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

For dinner, she plans to make dumplings with beef bone soup. While cooking the beef bones, she made dumplings with several kinds of fillings. There are crispy and sweet cabbage fillings, delicious meat fillings, and vegetable and egg fillings.

While she was cooking, some guests came suddenly.

Standing outside the gate, Han Yuheng knocked on the gate and shouted, "Is there anyone at home?"

Behind him stood a few educated youths. Due to the long journey and the cold weather, their lips were chapped and slightly pale.

Seeing that no one came out, Han Yuheng called again, "Uncle Lu, are you at home?"

Not long after, Lu Cheng's voice came from inside, "Coming! Who is it?"

When Lu Cheng opened the door and saw a group of people who came with the team leader, he was stunned.

"Team Leader Han, why are you here?" Lu Cheng asked tentatively.

"Lu Cheng, can we go in and talk?" Seeing the pale lips of the educated youths, Han Yuheng asked.

"Of course, please come in." Lu Cheng stepped aside and let them in.

He led them into the living room of the main house and said, "Please have a seat. I'll go and inform my father."

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the door of his parents' room and said, "Father, the team leader is here."

"Huh? Wait a minute." Father Lu's voice came from the room.

Chapter 31: Night Visit

Hearing Father Lu's response, Lu Chen went to the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he smelled the aroma of bone soup and felt his saliva pooling.

"Jueyu ah, are we having dumpling soup for dinner?" He asked, looking at the neatly arranged dumplings on the table.

Hearing Lu Cheng's voice, Lu Jueyu turned her head and said, "En, it will be ready in a while."

Lu Cheng almost forgot that he was here to get hot water, and asked, "Jueyu, is there any hot water? There are guests, and they look very cold."

Every time Lu Jueyu cooks, she prepares a pot of hot water. If she needs to wash something, she can use warm water instead of cold water. So she nodded and said, "I'm going to make tea, just wait a moment."

After washing her hands, Lu Jueyu went to get a pot. She scooped some tea leaves from a small jar to the pot, and poured hot water onto it. The tea is from her space, and the quality is very good. Those who like to drink tea will know that the Lu family's tea is a rare Dahongpao if they have tasted it. In addition to Dahongpao, she also has Baihao Yinchan, Wuyi Narcissus, Tieguanyin, Pu'er, Longjing, and even Tienchi flower tea which was classified as herbal tea.

"Second brother, help me bring the pot." With that said, Lu Jueyu took out a few bamboo cups from the cabinet and a small brazier near the stove, and went to the living room.

When she went in, she was surprised to see that the educated youths were trembling from the cold. She placed the brazier beside them, handed each of them a cup, and set the rest on the table. Lu Cheng followed behind her, poured tea into their cups, and said, "Have some tea to warm your body."

These educated youths are all from cities far from the village. Their journey took several weeks and they suffered a lot due to the weather. When they arrived at the county town, the production team had no cars. As a result, they could only sit on the bullock cart in the cold weather and their bodies shivering constantly.

They thought they would have to endure for a few more hours before they could drink hot water. To their surprise, the first house they visited offered them hot tea. Everyone thanked Lu Cheng and drank tea. The moment they drank the tea, their eyes widened in surprise. The tea tastes really good, unlike the tea that ordinary villagers drink.

Han Yuheng took a sip of tea which warmed his body, and said, "Uncle Lu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest for visiting so late."

Hearing his polite words, Father Lu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, Team Leader Han is here to visit at this time, is there something urgent?"

Han Yuheng glanced at the educated youths and said, "Uncle Lu, I will be honest with you. These are educated youths sent by the central government, and they will receive education here. Currently, we don't have any vacant houses for them to live in. So, I want to know if you can let one or two of them stay in your house? The production team will give you work points for the rent. As for their food, you don't need to provide them."

Father Lu looked at the soft and tender educated youth and felt a little headache. Although they have spare rooms in their house, it's not easy living with strangers. What's more, these educated youths often have arrogant behavior. Most educated youth come from towns or big cities, and they also grew up in wealthy families. Most of them are unwilling to go to the village to receive peasant education. Therefore, their behavior is rude to the villagers.

Seeing Father Lu's hesitation, Han Yuheng quickly said, "Uncle Lu, they won't stay for long. It will only be a month or two at most. They will move out as soon as the house is completed."

Before Father Lu could make a decision, Mother Lu came out of the bedroom and sat down opposite Han Yuheng. She looked at the educated youth one by one, like she was picking cabbage in the market. Her sharp eyes and serious expression made the educated youth feel pressure. Not to mention these young masters and ladies, even Han Yuheng was fidgeting under Mother Lu's gaze. When he was a child, he was beaten by Mother Lu and suffered many times, which made him unconsciously afraid of her.

"Aunt Lu." He greeted her politely.

There are six educated youths, four men and two women. Mother Lu observed them for a while, then looked at Han Yuheng, and said, "Team Leader Han, it's okay to let them live in my house. We have a spare room now, but I only accept girls, and the rent will be decided by the production team. There is no problem for us to help, after all, this is for the revolution."

Han Yuheng was overjoyed when he heard Mother Lu's words. But before he could say thanks, Mother Lu interrupted him.

"However, as long as they live in my house, they must abide by my house rules."

"Aunt Lu, what are the rules?" Han Yuheng asked tentatively.

"As you know, besides Jueyu, I have two sons. When they lived in my house, for whatever reason, they were forbidden to have any contact with my sons. I don't want my son's family to get into trouble because of this matter." Mother Lu said directly.

When the girls heard Mother Lu's words, their faces were reddened and then turned pale. One of them lowered her head and bit her lip, while the other asked, "Auntie, what do you mean? Are you implying that we will seduce your son? Aren't you thinking too much? In any case, we all have urban citizenship."

Hearing her rude words, Mother Lu was still calm, but Han Yuheng frowned.
