Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife
Chapter 1543 - 1543: Life At Stake

In the kitchen, An Xuyuan was cooking a pot of millet porridge and roasting several sweet potatoes.

Hearing a series of footsteps, he thought the one coming was the male educated youth and said, "The meal will be ready in a moment. After eating, we will go dig out your belongings."

"Brother An, what are you doing?" Zhang Yulan asked.

When he heard her voice, An Xuyuan turned and asked with delight, "Yulan, why did you come? The weather is cold, you shouldn't come out if nothing is important. What if you catch a cold?"

Zhang Yulan placed the bamboo basket on the kitchen table and said, "I heard about the matter regarding the educated youth's house from my brother and came to check on you.

"I know you will definitely go help them even if I told you not to. Since I can't stop you, I can only brew some chicken ginger soup for you to repel the cold."

As she said this, she took out a thermos flask from the basket. This thermos flask was bought by An Xuyuan and given to her. Besides the chicken soup, she also prepared scallion pancakes for him so he could eat them when he felt hungry.

Seeing this, An Xuyuan smiled and said, "Yulan, it has been hard on you."

"It's nothing. I only have to make more when cooking for my family," Zhang Yulan replied with a smile.

Fifteen minutes later, the breakfast was ready and the two of them carried it to the living room. At this moment, the educated youths had woken up and were gathering in the living room, discussing the previous night's matter.

The moment they saw An Xuyuan and Zhang Yulan coming, they quickly helped carry the pot and bamboo baskets.

One of the educated youths took the tray from Zhang Yulan's hands and said, "Comrade, let me do it."

As he said this, he glanced at her bashfully. The moment he turned around, he met An Xuyuan's icy gaze. Before he could say anything, Zhang Yulan said, "Brother An, I will take my leave now. Remember not to carry heavy things. Your injury hasn't fully recovered."

When he heard this, An Xuyuan walked over to her, helped her tidy up her woolen hat, and said, "I will walk you back."

"No need. You should have your breakfast. I can go back by myself," Zhang Yulan replied and held his hand.

Feeling the gentle squeeze on his hand, An Xuyuan nodded and said, "I will visit you when I'm done with my work."

"Okay."

After the brief conversation, everyone understood that the two of them were in a relationship. The male educated youth who had intended to pursue her suddenly wilted like a frozen eggplant. He no longer had the appetite, even when facing a warm meal.

As for An Xuyuan, he still sent his girlfriend off before he returned to the living room and had his breakfast. While eating, he poured a bowl of chicken soup for himself and said with a sigh, "Yulan really cares for me. She even slaughtered a chicken just to nourish my body."

The moment they heard his words, the educated youths didn't dare to comment and continued eating their breakfast.

At the same time, Li Chenmo arrived at the production team's office. After parking his bicycle, he untied the rope and carried the sacks into the office.

When Han Jinhe saw him, he quickly walked over and asked, "Comrade Li, what brought you here so early today?"

"Comrade Han, these are the supplies I promised the vice team leader," Li Chenmo replied before he went to carry the rest of the supplies into the building.

Seeing that the amount of supplies was a lot, Han Jinhe asked, "Comrade Li, you're sending over so many things, will your family have enough until the next harvest?"

"Don't worry, my family has enough," Li Chenmo replied and placed the last sack down.

"About the educated youths' house, I won't be able to help. My wife is pregnant, and I can't leave her alone at home. But if the production team needs any supplies, you can inform me. My family can spare some food," he added.

Hearing this, Han Jinhe smiled and replied, "Comrade Li, thank you for your help. This is more than enough."

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "My wife is still waiting for me at home. I will take my leave now."

"Okay."

After leaving the production team's office, Li Chenmo went to the production team's pig pen and cowshed. Twenty minutes later, he parked his bicycle near the pig pen and walked into the pen.

The moment he entered, he saw several elderly people patting an old man's cheek as they tried to wake him up. Seeing this, he quickly walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing that someone was here, Old Su was taken aback. But the moment he saw the young man, his eyes lit up instantly.

He grabbed his hand and said, "Young man, please help us. Old Zhao caught a cold a few days ago and got a high fever. Now, he is unconscious and won't wake up. Can you please send him to the hospital?"

Li Chenmo was surprised to see Old Zhao's condition. Judging from it, it would be too late if they sent him to the hospital now.

His wife had given him a jar of spiritual herb powder, which he always carried with him. Since the situation was urgent, he took out the jar and said, "Open his mouth."

While they didn't know what the powder was, they had no other options right now. The elderly quickly opened Old Zhao's mouth and watched as Li Chenmo put a pinch of the powder into the old man's mouth.

Afterward, he pulled out the waterskin from his waist and fed some water to him. When he was done, he said, "We have to send him to the hospital as soon as possible."
