Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1499

Chapter 1499: Winter Is Coming ( 1 )

If it hadn’t been for his second brother, his daughter wouldn’t have been sent by his father to the countryside and suffered a mishap there. Fortunately, she survived and married a good man. But no matter how well she was doing now, the debt still had to be paid with interest.

As he thought about these matters, Xiao Feng clenched his fists and hatred flashed in his eyes.

Seeing his superior’s determination to destroy his own brother, Houzi didn’t offer any comment. He simply said, "I will contact them as soon as possible."

"Good. I will leave this matter to you. Once it’s done, you can fully retire," Xiao Feng said.

"Thank you, General," Houzi replied before taking his leave.

While the political situation was heating up, the people in Xie Village were busy preparing for winter. Unlike the previous year, when winter began in early December, this year it started in early November.

Due to the sudden drop in temperature, many people were falling ill, including the wicked ones who lived in the production team’s pigpen and cowshed.

Now that Liu Piao had married into the Zhang family, she had also learned about the family’s situation from her husband. In the month since she married Zhang Ermu, she had been helping her husband and sister-in-law forage for mushrooms and medicinal herbs in the mountains.

With the extra money they earned from selling goods from the mountains, they were able to buy cotton and fabric. Since she had experience working in a clothing factory, Zhang Ermu bought her a sewing machine.

At that moment, she had just finished making a cotton-padded jacket for the family. Turning to her mother-in-law, she asked, "Mother, do you think these jackets will fit Grandmother and Grandfather?"

Mother Zhang looked at the size and nodded. "They will fit."

Hearing this, Liu Piao said, "Mother, I didn’t use new fabric to make these jackets, to avoid drawing suspicion. Will Grandmother and Grandfather dislike the gift?"

"They won’t. They will definitely like your gift," Mother Zhang replied with a smile.

Since her daughter-in-law had married into the family, Mother Zhang had seen how diligent she was. Not only was she good at taking care of the household and her husband, but she was also filial to her parents-in-law and kind to her sister-in-law.

With a daughter-in-law like this, she felt satisfied and at peace.

Unaware of her mother-in-law’s thoughts, Liu Piao was relieved after hearing her reassurance. She had never met her husband’s grandparents before, and this would be her first gift to them. She hoped they would like it and be able to endure the cold this year.

After finishing the cotton-padded jackets, she made socks, stomach warmers, and gloves. The weather was no longer suitable for going into the mountains, so they spent most of their time at home. With nothing else to do, she made lots of clothes.

While she was cutting the fabric to make gloves, she heard someone knocking the gate.

"Sister Ah Piao, are you home?"

Hearing her cousin’s voice, Liu Piao stopped what she was doing and said, "Mother, it’s Liu Hua. I will go see her."

Liu Hua was delighted by her response and said, "Sister, you can decide on the style, we are not picky. As long as it’s warm, that’s enough." freēwēbnovel.com
