Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Pan Meijia’s Plan
Xiao Li was taken aback by Pan Meijia’s words and said, “This… I can’t ride a bicycle.”

She frowned when she heard his words. Since Xiao Li couldn’t ride a bicycle, she had to go to the county town to pick up Ling Yun and take him back from the hospital. She sighed and said, “Okay. I’ll go find comrade Han to borrow a bicycle later. ”

“Great! Thank you, Miss Pan.” Xiao Li said with a smile.

When she walked to Lu’s house, she found that Xiao Li had been following her. So, she stopped and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“No.” Xiao Li shook his head.

“Then why are you following me?” she asked again.

“I’m looking for Lu Cheng.”

Hearing his words, Pan Meijia felt embarrassed for her narcissistic thoughts. She coughed to hide her embarrassment and said, “Oh.”

Seeing the two of them coming together, Mother Lu raised her eyebrows and asked, “Xiao Li, are you here to see my second son?”

“Yes, Aunt Lu. Is Brother Cheng at home?” Xiao Li asked.

“He’s in the backyard.”

“Then I’ll go find him. Thank you, Aunt Lu.” Xiao Li said and walked to the backyard.

Seeing him leave, Mother Lu looked at Pan Meijia’s rosy cheeks and said, “Although the weather is getting warmer, you still have to wear thicker clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”

“I understand. Aunt Lu, I’m going back to the room first.” Pan Meijia nodded and said.

“Go ahead.”

After entering her room, Pan Meijia closed the door and sat on the Kang bed. A month after living with the Lu family, they finally reached an understanding. When Pan Meijia went to collect firewood, she would get more for the Lu family. Whenever she is free, she also helps them with housework. And every time she joined the Lu family for a meal, the Lu family would not ask her for money.

In this way, they lived together peacefully. Over time, Mother Lu, Chen Anwen, and Wang Muxiao would use the stove connected to the kang bed in Pan Meijia’s room when cooking. So when she lies on the Kang, she will be very warm and comfortable.

Sitting on the Kang bed, Pan Meijia took out the letter from her clothes and opened it. Opening the envelope, she saw a wad of money inside. When she took it out, the money was wrapped in a letter. She put the money back in the envelope and read the letter.

It turned out that the mushroom she gave to her father was indeed Ganoderma lucidum. Her father worried that if they kept all the mushrooms at home, they would get into trouble. So, after keeping two mushrooms for their family to use, her father sold the rest on the black market. Because Ganoderma lucidum is scarce and has many health benefits, it sells for a high price.

Her father sold it to a middleman and made a profit of 3,800 yuan. He sent 800 yuan to her and kept the rest as her dowry. Her father also asked her to return to the city after completing her re-education in Xie village.

Under normal circumstances, the re-education program will take up to four years to complete, and if she is lucky, she would be able to go back in two years. But when she thought of the educated youths who had stayed here for several years, she was not sure whether she would be able to go back to the city or not.

Except for a few educated youth who refuse to marry because they didn’t want to lose their city house registration, most educated youth would marry villagers because of their age and have children of their own. But once they marry a villager, their citizenship will be transferred from the city or town to the village where they live.

This year, Pan Meijia is already 20 years old. It can be said that she has already passed the marriageable age. If she waited until she returned to the city to find the right husband, she might have become a leftover girl. It seemed like she needed to find a way back to the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, she may need to marry a local. While she doesn’t think the villagers were unworthy of her, she still wants to live in the city so she can stay closer to her family.

After reading the letter, she folded it neatly. She took out the money and put the letter into the envelope. She counted the money and divided it into four parts. She took a piece of oil paper and tore it in half. She put 200 yuan into oil paper, rolled it into a tube, and tied it with hemp rope. Later, she placed another 200 yuan into her wallet for tomorrow’s use. Then she took out the small jar from the cabinet and put 200 yuan in it before she hid the jar under her clothes.

After that, she looked around the room and climbed onto the table while holding the money wrapped in oil paper. There were two bundles, and each bundle was 200 yuan. She placed one bundle on the beam above the table and the other bundle in the small hole at the back of the cabinet. Satisfied with the place she hid the money, Pan Meijia went to the kitchen to boil water and wash up.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were walking into the black market. Today, both of them covered half of their faces with scarves and wore shabby cotton jackets. Before going to the black market, they went to Lu Jueyu’s space to change clothes. Before reaching Houzi’s place, Lu Jueyu saw the old man from before. As soon as the old man saw her, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

“Girl, you finally came today. Did you bring the grain?” he asked in a low voice.

Lu Jueyu was carrying a bamboo basket and nodded. Using the bamboo basket as a cover, she took out four kilograms of white rice from her own space and said, “Uncle, I brought four kilograms of white rice today. Do you want it?”
