Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1139

Chapter 1139: Lavish Spending
As for mushrooms, Lu Jueyu could scatter them around old trees so no one would question their origin. For fruits, grains, and vegetables, they would have to venture further into the mountains to find them.

After all, everyone should work for their food. By sharing seeds from her space, she was already helping the villagers enough. The rest would depend on their effort.

Reaching this conclusion, Lu Jueyu smiled at her husband and said, “Husband, you are so smart!”

After she made up her mind, she no longer paid attention to the villagers’ conversations and followed her husband into the mountain forest.

Today, the two of them planned to visit the open fields to check the crops’ growth and scatter more seeds in the mountains. This time, they not only planned to scatter medicinal herb seeds but also Lingzhi, several types of edible mushrooms, and wild vegetables.

In addition, Lu Jueyu had prepared some endangered tree saplings to be planted in the depths of the mountains. This was not only to ensure the continuation of endangered species but also to increase the forest cover, helping to prevent landslides.

Taking a different path from their previous visit, Lu Jueyu scattered seeds along the border between the mountain foothills and the forest. As they continued, she scattered more seeds and watered the soil with water from her lake.

Unlike their last visit, this time they noticed the seeds sprouting even before they left the area. Thanks to the effectiveness of the lake water, it seemed likely that the quality of the mountain soil would improve with repeated visits.

With this thought, Li Chenmo suddenly recalled a conversation with the brigade staff and said, “Wife, can you prepare some lake water for me? I want to use it to improve the quality of the fertilizer.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu looked at her husband and asked, “Husband, didn’t you already use the spiritual herb powder?”

Nodding at her words, Li Chenmo replied, “I did, but the quantity of fertilizer isn’t enough to meet the demand from the capital and the brigade. Since production is fixed, I want to increase the volume by adding more water.”

“If we use mountain spring water, the fertilizer’s effectiveness will drop. If we add more spiritual herb powder, I’m worried it might cause problems if the brigade finds out. So, the only option left is your lake water.”

“From what we saw earlier, your lake water has better properties than the spiritual herb powder. Adding it to the fertilizer will not only increase its quantity and quality but also leave no traceable residue.”

After listening to her husband’s explanation, Lu Jueyu finally understood his purpose and agreed readily, “Okay. I will prepare the water in bottles for you to make it easier to carry.”

“Thank you, Wife,” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the nearest open field. Expecting to see only green sprouts, they were surprised to find the crops nearly ready for harvest in front of them.

Seeing the scene before her, Lu Jueyu’s eyes widened in surprise. She walked to the nearest wheat plant and saw that the ears were almost full of grains. With one more watering session, the crops would be ready for harvest.

With this in mind, she wasted no time and started watering the field, while Li Chenmo inspected the bushes and trees nearby.

Although Lu Jueyu only watered the field, the surrounding bushes and trees also thrived, growing visibly stronger. It was clear that the lake water not only benefited the crops but also improved the soil quality in the area.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Jueyu finished watering the field, and the two of them moved to another open area. This time, besides scattering seeds, she also released small animals such as rabbits, pheasants, birds, deer, and mountain goats.

These animals were purchased from the space store, and for some unknown reason, she received another discount for the animal package. Spending two million gold coins, she was satisfied with the large number of animals she released into the mountain.

With these animals, she hoped to ensure that wild predators like tigers, wolves, and bears would have enough food and wouldn’t attack the village or come out from the deepest part of the mountains.

She also thought it would be beneficial if the villagers could occasionally catch small animals near the mountain foothills. With this thought in mind, she purchased more animals and released them in the outer area.

When Li Chenmo saw his wife spending lavishly, he only smiled and stayed close to ensure her safety. As for the animals she released, as long as it made her happy, he was content to let her do as she pleased. What’s more, the money she spent was also earned by her.

It took them several hours to visit all the open fields, as they took different paths. By the time they reached the border between the mountains and the foothills, the sun was setting in the western horizon.

Before leaving the mountain forest, Lu Jueyu scattered more mushrooms, flowers, and medicinal herb seeds in the area. She also released additional small animals and ten queen bees.

Looking at their now-empty baskets, she decided to store them in her space, leaving one for her husband. She took out several fish and small animals and placed them in the basket. This way, if the Pan family asked, they could say they had checked their traps.

When the two of them returned home, they found Mother Pan and the second aunt cooking in the kitchen, while Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia were cleaning up several fish in the backyard.

Seeing them return, Pan Meijia smiled and greeted them, “Third brother, Third sister-in-law, you are back.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and greeted them back, “Second brother, Second sister-in-law.”

Having been married for a few days, Pan Meijia was no longer shy around the Li family. She now treated her friend as a true sister-in-law and asked, “Third sister-in-law, did you find anything good in the mountains?”
