Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1337: Engagement Ceremony
A few hours later, Lu Jueyu woke up from her nap feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Thinking about Liu Piao's upcoming wedding, she opened her warehouse and checked the supplies.
For the wedding gift, she prepared a set of women's skincare products for Liu Piao and a set of men's skincare products for Zhang Ermu.
Thinking about the Zhang family's situation, she took two jars of wound ointment, two jars of swelling ointment, two bottles of anti-inflammatory medicine, two bottles of fever and cold medicine, ten bottles of Yunnan Baiyao, a jar of ginseng powder, and two bottles of premium-grade tonic wine.
These gifts would be given personally to Liu Piao. The ointment, medicine, and tonic wine could be used for the Zhang family members, especially Zhang Ermu's grandparents.
Since they lived in the cowshed, their immunity was low, making them prone to illness. Using common herbs to treat their ailments could lead to prolonged illnesses and require a lot of money in the future to nurse them back to health.

She hoped that with these things, the Zhang family would have a better life and that Liu Piao wouldn't have to suffer after marrying into the family.
After preparing the wedding gifts, she started making a list for the wedding banquet, from the appetizers to the dessert. Unlike before, she only wrote down the menu items that her son and Chen Jianmin could make.
With her current condition, it was impossible for her to do everything by herself. Giving instructions was possible, but cooking was not. Even if she could, her husband wouldn't allow it.
Just after she finished the menu list, she saw her husband enter the bedroom shirtless. Looking at his toned muscles, she gulped and said, "Husband, go take a shower. Don't catch a cold."
Noticing his wife's small movement, Li Chenmo smiled and walked around the room, showing off his body for a while before heading to the shower.
Being able to look but not touch was torture. To avoid being seduced by her husband, Lu Jueyu decided to prepare lunch.
To cool down their body heat, today's lunch was pickled cucumber, braised wheat gluten and mushrooms, tofu avocado salad, herbal chicken soup, stir-fried pork liver with chili, and steamed rice with pandan leaves.
She was craving coconut juice, so she prepared a jar and mixed it with orange juice, lime juice, and some honey. This drink was not only delicious but also helped hydrate the body and lower body temperature.
When Li Chenmo entered the kitchen, he saw the spread of dishes on the table and said, "Wife, why did you cook so many dishes? You should have let me do it."
Hearing her husband's voice, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "I feel good and not tired in my space. These dishes were easy to prepare."
She scooped a big bowl of rice for her husband and said, "Come and eat. I'm hungry."
Li Chenmo was helpless against his wife's stubbornness and could only say, "I will wash the dishes later."
Lu Jueyu nodded and readily agreed. "Okay."
After lunch, the two of them left the space. Lu Jueyu took out the rest of their meal and placed it on the kitchen table so their children could have it when they returned from school.
Afterward, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu packed some gifts for Jiang Ziyu and Lin Meifeng before leaving the house.
At the same time, in the Lin family's house, Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia were busy greeting guests. Although the Lin family didn't hold a wedding ceremony or banquet for their niece, the neighbors and villagers who heard about the wedding still came to join the joyous occasion.
While the bride and groom had lunch with Uncle Lin and his family inside the house after the tea ceremony, the guests crowded outside.
To prevent any gossip about his newlywed wife, Jiang Ziyu handed all the wedding candies and roasted nuts given by Lu Jueyu to Li Lingyun and asked him to distribute them to the guests.
Since there were too many people and a limited number of candies, Li Lingyun gave only two pieces to each guest. Meanwhile, Pan Meijia served tea and roasted peanuts to the village elders.
Inside the house, Aunt Lin was smiling so much that she felt full even though she hadn't eaten anything since morning.
Everyone assumed that Jiang Ziyu had only prepared some basic gifts for formality due to the limited time. Unexpectedly, when he arrived that morning, the betrothal gifts were no less than what Li Chenmo had given when he proposed to Lu Jueyu.
He even gifted Lin Meifeng a watch and a pair of leather shoes, giving her a lot of face. As for Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin, each of them received two sets of clothes.
Although he didn't give a bicycle or sewing machine, he gifted Uncle Lin a radio after learning that he likes listening to opera.
During the engagement ceremony, the neighbors and villagers witnessed Jiang Ziyu hand over 50 yuan as the bride price and not demand any dowry.
Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin had long prepared a dowry for Lin Meifeng, so after accepting the betrothal gifts, they added some expensive items from the betrothal gifts into the dowry to ensure it wouldn't look shabby.
While everyone enjoyed the tea and snacks, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu arrived. Seeing how simple the ceremony was, they didn't say anything and went to find the bride and groom.
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you are here," Pan Meijia greeted them with a smile.
"Second Sister-in-law, where are the bride and groom?" Lu Jueyu asked.
"They are having lunch inside with the bride's family."
Hearing this, they decided to wait and said, "Then we will wait for them."
"Okay," Pan Meijia nodded and went to get more tea.
Seeing how busy she was, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and said, "Second Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Pan Meijia had already learned from her husband that her Third Sister-in-law was pregnant. How could she let her do any heavy work?
