Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158: Risk And Opportunity
Hearing Liu Hua’s question, Lu Jueyu explained, “Sister Liu Hua, my husband tied several bells with thin thread and connected them to the handle outside. When you pull the handle outside, the bells around the house will ring. That way, I know someone is at the gate.”

“So that’s how it works. No wonder you knew we were coming when I pulled the handle. Jueyu ah, you are so smart!” Liu Hua praised.

“Well, it was my husband who made it. I just know how to use it,” Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

“Second Sister-in-law, Sister Liu Hua, I will go see who is at the gate,” she added.

“Okay, you go. We will wait here,” Wang Muxiao said with a nod.

After Lu Jueyu left the room, Wang Muxiao held her large belly and walked around. Although the furniture was simple, the quality was excellent. The wood used was expensive and rare.

The room occupied an area of about 40 to 50 square meters. Compared to the south hall, where Lu Jueyu’s wedding was hosted, this room was only half the size. However, the largest room in the house was the central hall, which was three times larger than this living room.

While Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua wondered how Lu Jueyu managed to clean the big house alone, she had already opened the gate and saw Pan Meijia and Li Lingyun standing outside.

Seeing them, she gestured for them to come in and said, “Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, please come in.”

After locking the door, she asked, “Second Brother, what brings the two of you here so early? My husband is working on the farmland today.”

Hearing this, Pan Meijia handed over a basket and said, “Third Sister-in-law, we came to discuss something with you.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Well, my Second Sister-in-law and Sister Liu Hua are visiting me. I don’t know if it’s convenient for you to talk about your matter.”

Hearing this, Pan Meijia looked at her husband, who nodded in response. Since they were used to handling business matters together, Li Lingyun didn’t mind sharing the discussion about the investment with Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua.

Understanding her husband’s agreement, Pan Meijia replied, “It’s alright to let them know.”

Since they didn’t mind, Lu Jueyu had no objections. When the three of them reached the living room, Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua were enjoying honey water while chatting.

Seeing that it was the newlyweds, Wang Muxiao smiled and greeted them, “Second Brother-in-law, Jiajia, you are here.”

“Sister-in-law,” Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia nodded in greeting.

Once everyone was seated, Lu Jueyu said, “Second Sister-in-law, Sister Liu Hua, my Second Brother-in-law has something to discuss with us.”

Curious, Wang Muxiao asked, “Brother-in-law, what is it you want to discuss?”

When Li Lingyun looked at her and Liu Hua, those images drawn inside the Thousand Drunken Dreams Martial Arts book came to his mind. It was hard for him to imagine that the ones writing and illustrating the book were these two women.

After a moment of distraction, he quickly regained his composure. Clearing his throat, he replied, “Sister-in-law, I came to share an opportunity to earn money. I wonder if you are interested.”

“Brother-in-law, we are, of course, interested in earning money. But we need to know more about this opportunity first. If it’s something dangerous, we won’t participate,” Wang Muxiao said with a calm smile.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Lingyun’s face. As expected, the shrew-like personality she showed to everyone was merely a pretense.

Lu Jueyu poured them a cup of honey water and asked, “Second Brother, what opportunity are you talking about?”

After taking a sip, Li Lingyun explained, “Third Sister-in-law, it’s an investment.”

The moment Lu Jueyu heard this, her eyes lit up. Even though she didn’t recall specific details about Li Lingyun from the original plot—since he didn’t show up much—she knew he would later become successful and raise his children alone.

This investment might be the starting point of his future business endeavors. With this thought, she replied, “Second Brother, please elaborate.”

Seeing the interest in their eyes, Li Lingyun continued, “My friend plans to start a trading business in Yunnan, focusing mainly on seafood for now. He will provide the manpower and connections, while we provide the capital.”

Wang Muxiao frowned and asked, “Brother-in-law, do you mean we will give our money to your friend and just wait to earn profits?”

Li Lingyun nodded and continued, “Yes. My friend needs at least 300,000 yuan as the capital. If we can provide more, that will be even better. For the initial investors, everyone will receive a document detailing how much they have invested and their corresponding shares.”

“Each year, the net income will be divided based on the shares we own. The more shares you have, the larger your earnings. However, as shareholders, you also bear the risk if the business fails.”

After he finished, Wang Muxiao asked again, “Brother-in-law, are you saying there is a chance we could lose our money?”

Nodding at her words, Li Lingyun replied, “Sister-in-law, every business carries certain risks. There is no guarantee a business will be 100% profitable. There is always a chance it might fail.”

“So, before you invest, you should consider carefully,” he added.

Initially, both Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua were interested in the business. But after learning about the potential risk of losing money, they hesitated.

It wasn’t easy for their husbands to earn money. If they lost everything, it would put their families in a difficult situation.

For Wang Muxiao, earning money from Houzi’s business was sufficient. So she said, “Brother-in-law, I won’t join this business. I can’t risk my husband’s hard-earned money. I’m sorry.”

Liu Hua added embarrassedly, “Brother-in-law, I also won’t join. My family still owes you money. How can we invest in this business?”

Since they declined, Li Lingyun didn’t insist and replied, “It’s okay. There is no need to feel sorry.”

He then looked at Lu Jueyu and asked, “What about you, Third Sister-in-law?”
