Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1154

Chapter 1154: A Fool Also Has A Fool’s Luck
When Liu Hua saw her friend’s smile, she shuddered, thinking a lot of people were definitely going to be in trouble.

After discussing the important matters, Liu Hua finally took her leave and returned home. She still needed to have dinner with her husband and son.

Not long after she left, Lu Cheng returned from the town. Seeing his wife waiting for him, he smiled and said in delight, “Wife, I’m home.”

Glancing at her husband, Wang Muxiao replied, “I thought you would spend the night outside.”

Noticing his wife’s bad mood, Lu Cheng’s survival instincts kicked in instantly. He walked over, squatted beside her, and reached out to rub her back while explaining, “Wife, why would I spend the night outside when I have my wife and children waiting for me at home?”

Feeling the soreness in her back ease from her husband’s rubbing, Wang Muxiao’s annoyance lessened. She poured a cup of water for him and asked, “What were you doing in town that took you so long to come back?”

Lu Cheng drank the water before replying, “Wife, I went to find Brother Houzi.”

Narrowing her eyes, Wang Muxiao asked, “Are you planning to go to the mountain without telling me again?”

Before Lu Cheng could reply, she added, “How many times do I have to tell you? Do you know how dangerous the mountain is? If you want to go, at least take the eldest brother or the Li brothers with you! With your ability, if you encounter a wild boar, even if you don’t die, you will lose a layer of skin ah!”

Being scolded by his wife, Lu Cheng didn’t feel wronged or despised at all. Instead, he felt happy that his wife was worried about him.

“Wife, I promise, I won’t go to the mountain alone. This time, I went to find Brother Houzi for another matter,” he said with a grin.

Glaring at him, Wang Muxiao asked, “What matters? Lu Cheng, it’s fine for us to earn money in the black market, but if you dare to do anything dangerous, I will pack my clothes and return to my parents’ house with our children!”

Startled by her warning, Lu Cheng quickly said, “Wife, please don’t! If you go back, I won’t be able to sleep at night!”

After saying this, he closed the windows, locked the door, and took out a package wrapped in old cloth from his clothes.

Seeing how careful her husband was, Wang Muxiao asked curiously, “Husband, what are you hiding? Why are you acting so mysterious?”

Lu Cheng smiled and unwrapped the cloth, revealing neatly stacked money and coupons inside.

When Wang Muxiao saw this, her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. Pointing at the money, she stammered, “T-this… Where did you get this money?!”

Knowing she would be shocked, Lu Cheng wrapped the money back up and said, “Wife, let’s talk about it in the room.”

Still in shock, Wang Muxiao followed her husband to their bedroom. After locking the door, Lu Cheng helped his wife settle comfortably on the Kang bed before sitting across from her.

He handed the money to her and explained, “Wife, this is the money I earned from investing in Brother Houzi’s business.”

Frowning at her husband, Wang Muxiao asked unhappily, “Husband, why didn’t you tell me about this matter? Do you plan to hide your money from me?”

Feeling wronged, Lu Cheng looked at his wife and said aggrievedly, “Wife, you are wronging me ah! I also didn’t know I had this business until I accidentally met Brother Houzi at the mountain foothills.”

“If you didn’t know, how could you invest in the business?” Wang Muxiao asked again, narrowing her eyes.

Scratching his head, Lu Cheng explained, “Well, it happened years ago. I had forgotten about this matter until Brother Houzi reminded me.”

“Back then, I found him injured in the mountain, so I brought him to Doctor Xie for treatment. Before he left, I gave him all my money so he would have enough to travel. At that time, he told me he would return the money to me.”

“Since we didn’t know each other well, I treated that money as gone and never sought him out. I didn’t expect him to use that money to start a business.”

“He even gave me some of the business shares, and the profits kept accumulating for several years. He then used my shares to expand the business to its current scale. Right now, I own 60% shares of his business while he and the others have 40%.”

After finishing his explanation, he held his wife’s hands and continued, “Wife, I know it’s dangerous to keep so much money at home, so I used most of it to buy gold and buried it in the mountains.”

“This gold will be kept for our children. In the future, if our children need money, we can dig it out. As for the rest of the money, it’s all here and will be used to pay for your hospital fees during childbirth.”

“In the future, Brother Houzi will give me my share once a year. I will give all of it to you, so please don’t be angry with me, okay?” he added.

Wang Muxiao held her forehead and went silent for a long time. She needed time to process this sudden information. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her husband’s words, but this kind of good fortune was hard to believe.

After a long moment, she looked at her husband and sighed. What her mother had told her back then was indeed right. Lu Cheng was naive and foolish. But a fool also has a fool’s luck.

Now, her mother’s words were proven true. Her foolish husband turned into a rich man overnight, which was very surprising.

Lu Cheng anxiously waited for his wife’s response. On their wedding night, he had promised her never to keep money secret from her.

Now, not only was he revealing that he had secret money, but he also had a business in the black market. He didn’t know what punishment his wife would decide for him.

He didn’t want to sleep on the ground ah!
