Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Her Secret ( 1 )
Lu Jueyu observed the old man’s clothes and found that his clothes were very shabby, and it was obvious that he was not living well. But despite this, he carried himself with the grace of a scholar.

After thinking about it, she pulled Li Chenmo’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Husband, I’m going to see what that old man is selling. Can you wait for me here?”

Li Chenmo raised his head and looked at the old man. After a while, he nodded and said, “Be careful when doing things.”

“En, don’t worry.” She nodded and walked towards the old man.

She walked over and put her hand into the bamboo basket. Using the basket as a cover, she took out two jars of meat sauce and several steamed buns. The old man saw her coming and glanced at her, but he said nothing.

When she was one meter away from the old man, Lu Jueyu lowered her voice and asked, “Uncle, do you want to buy steamed buns or meat sauce?”

After hearing what she said, the old man’s eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice, “Can I take a look at those things?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and opened the lid. The old man was surprised when he saw the white steamed buns still steaming. Then he opened the jar and smelled the meat sauce. He nodded and asked, “How much?”

“The meat sauce is 10 yuan a jar, and the steamed buns are 80 cents each.”

The old man was shocked by her price and said, “It’s so expensive. Lower the price.”

Lu Jueyu was not angry because of his arrogant tone and said, “Uncle, my meat sauce is made using my family’s secret recipe. The taste is guaranteed and it can be stored for a long time. As for the steamed buns, they are made with white flour and meat filling. If you buy it from me, you won’t regret it.”

The old man touched his pocket for a long time before saying, “I don’t have enough money. Can I pay you with other things?”

Lu Jueyu’s eyes flashed with delight for a second, but she still frowned and asked, “What is it? If it’s worthless, I won’t accept it.”

The old man took out the jade bangle bracelet from his pocket and showed it to her. Lu Jueyu knew it was mutton jade when she saw the bracelet, and it was of high quality. In modern times, this kind of bracelet can easily sell for 80,000 to 100,000 yuan just because of its quality. What’s more, this bracelet also has historical value and can be auctioned for millions of dollars in the future.

Seeing that she had no reaction to the jade bracelet, the old man said, “Girl, although you can’t wear this now, it’s still of good value. It was left by my mother’s grandmother and can be said to be a historical relic. Maybe in the future it can be sold at a high price.”

Although Lu Jueyu knew that she would definitely make a lot of money from this jade bracelet, she still showed some hesitation and said after a long time, “Okay. Since you are an elder, I will accept it.”

The old man was so happy that he quickly wrapped the steamed buns and meat sauce with cloth and put them in his clothes. Before leaving, he asked, “Girl, when will you come again? Can you bring some grain next time?”

“I can’t guarantee whether I can get you some grain. After all, it is winter and everyone is short of food. As for when to come back, it depends on the situation. If possible, I will come back in two days,” After a while, Lu Jueyu said.

Hearing her words, the old man’s eyes dimmed slightly, but when he felt the warmth of the food on his chest, he said, “I will wait for you here tomorrow.”

Lu Jueyu did not promise anything to him and walked toward Li Chenmo. After taking the jade bracelet, she put it into her own space. After all, if this kind of thing were known to others, it would bring them trouble.

In this era, jade and gold were prohibited items. All items related to pre-revolutionary times were banned, causing these historical artifacts to disappear during this era. In the future, each of these antiques may become a national treasure and be displayed in a museum.

When she returned to Li Chenmo, Li Chenmo asked her, “What is he selling?”

“He wanted to buy food, not sell food.”

Li Chenmo just nodded and said, “It’s getting late, we should go back.”

Lu Jueyu looked at the rising sun on the horizon and nodded. After leaving the black market, the two went to the state-owned supply store and bought some stationery for the children. When they reached home, the sun was shining brightly. Fortunately, their home is far away from the village, otherwise the villagers might be suspicious of them.

After returning, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to boil water for them to wash up, while Li Chenmo went to mark the front and back yards. The front yard and backyard cover an area of ​​nearly 500 square meters.

He left a two-meter-wide strip of land as a path in the middle and divided the front yard into four plots. As for the backyard, except for the two-meter-wide roadside in the middle, he divided the land into three plots because there was a kitchen, a woodshed, and a chicken coop.

When he finished marking the yard, he went to wash up. Lu Jueyu entered her own space and took out the coupons and money given by her husband. She checked the coupons and found several bicycle coupons. To purchase the bike, they need to use two coupons. She put two bicycle coupons and 250 yuan in a separate wallet.

When she closed the can, she saw the red package that Father Li had given her on her wedding day. Once she put it in her own space, she forgot about it.
