Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Similarity
Xiao Li glanced at Li Chenmo thoughtfully as he sat down. When he first met Li Chenmo at Doctor Xie’s house, he already felt that he looked familiar. But today, after taking a close look at him, he felt that he was somewhat similar to Ling Yun.

Even though he thought they looked similar, Xiao Li didn’t think much about it. After all, Ling Yun was an orphan who was abandoned by his parents when he was five years old. Everyone in the village knew about this. If he has a relative, it was impossible for them not to know about his condition, and ignore him for so many years. Maybe, they just look similar.

Feeling his gaze, Li Chenmo glanced at Xiao Li. The moment Li Chenmo saw Xiao Li, he remembered him instantly. After all, his wife looked at this man for ten seconds that day. He observed Xiao Li and noticed that he seemed to be a cheerful man and had a good relationship with the Lu family.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about his wife’s possible relationship with this young man, he still trusted his wife. He should not jump to conclusions without any evidence or asking his wife.

If Lu Jueyu knew that her husband was actually counting how long she looked at another man, she might roll her eyes and feel that her husband’s pettiness had reached the nine heavens.

Not long after, Han Yuheng walked towards the stage, followed by several men. After taking his seat, Han Yuheng knocked on the microphone, attracting everyone’s attention. After a while, everyone finally stopped talking.

Han Yuheng looked at the villagers and said, “Today, I invite everyone to attend this meeting to inform everyone of our spring plowing plan. Unlike last year, the weather is getting warmer faster this year. So, after the Lantern Festival, we will start plowing the land. Work will be distributed as usual. If someone wants to borrow a tool, you need to record the name and time when they borrowed it. At the end of the day, you need to return the tool.”

“As for those who didn’t participate in spring plowing last year and want to join this year, you can sign up later. Your work points will depend on your daily workload.” He added.

After Han Yuheng finished speaking, a villager raised her hand and asked, “Team Leader Han, my daughter-in-law just gave birth to a son. Can you arrange her administrative work?”

Before Han Yuheng could answer her question, another villager interrupted her, “Sister Luo, can your daughter-in-law know how to read and write? Everyone knows that your daughter-in-law can’t even write her own name.”

Everyone laughed when they heard her words. The villager said angrily, “I am asking the team leader, who do you think you are for interrupting? As long as the team leader agrees, no one can say anything.”

“You are really good at dreaming. Do you think the team leader is someone who cannot weigh the importance of the position? Who would let an illiterate person record data?” Another villager laughed at her.

“You are just jealous that my daughter-in-law gave birth to a chubby son.”

Han Yuheng saw that they were quarreling and had a headache. He patted the table and said, “Stop quarreling.”

After they saw that Han Yuheng was angry, they reluctantly stopped arguing. After everyone calmed down, he said, “Aunt Luo, I can’t give this position to your daughter-in-law. We need someone who can read and write to fill this position. If your daughter-in-law can’t go to the fields, she can skip the plowing season and join us when we plant the seeds.”

Aunt Luo’s face darkened after hearing his words, but she didn’t dare to say anything else. In the end, she could only force her daughter-in-law to work in the fields. Although she can only get 8 points every day, it is better than nothing. After all, it was normal for the village woman to work in the farmland even in the postpartum period.

Han Yuheng glanced at everyone and said, “Since everyone is busy, the meeting will be adjourned.”

After leaving these words, he left the stage. Father Lu and others stood up and returned to their homes. As for Li Chenmo, he went to find Han Yuheng.

“Team leader Han, please wait a moment.” Li Chenmo said when he saw Han Yuheng.

Han Yuheng turned around and asked with a smile, “Brother Li, what’s the matter?”

Li Chenmo came over and said, “Team Leader, I want to inform you that I am going to participate in spring plowing.”

Hearing his words, Han Yuheng was stunned. He glanced at his legs and asked, “Are you sure you can handle the workload? Plowing is no easy task.”

“My injury has healed and I can cope with work. I will not hinder everyone’s work.” Li Chenmo said.

Han Yuheng nodded and asked, “What about your wife? Will she also join the plowing?”

Li Chenmo shook his head and said, “My wife will not participate in any field work. She is weak and cannot bear the workload.”

Han Yuheng looked at Li Chenmo and nodded, “Okay, you can come to the farmland on the 16th. We will start work at five o’clock in the morning. If you finish one mu of land, you will get 10 work points. If you do less, the work points will be calculated based on your work progress.”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and nodded. He was used to the intensive training and farming work in the military camp. He can handle two mu of land every day, let alone one mu. The workload won’t put much stress on his legs.

“Thank you, team leader.” He said.

“No problem.”

The meeting only lasted fifteen minutes. When Li Chenmo came back, the other villagers had just started eating breakfast. When he walked into the front yard, he saw his wife cutting bamboo leaves. He walked over, took the kitchen knife from Lu Jueyu’s hand, and said with a sigh, “Leave the heavy work to me in the future. Don’t do it yourself. What if you get injured?”
