Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Gold Coins
Houzi nodded after listening to Lu Jueyu’s words. Although they can make a lot of money selling grain, meat, and other stuff in the black market, they still need to work in the fields on the production team. If they do not work, they will be taken to the police station for a few days and be re-educated.

“Okay. If you have something good, just send it over. I will give you a good price.” Houzi said after a while.

“Alright.” Li Chenmo nodded.

After completing the transaction, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu left Houzi’s place and came to the corner where the old man was waiting.

Seeing that the old man had arrived, Lu Jueyu took out two kilograms of pork, five jars of wild honey, a bottle of cough syrup produced in the space, twenty eggs, two smoked fishes, and five kilograms of white rice from her space. She used the bamboo basket as the cover, so the old man saw nothing.

As soon as the old man saw them, his eyes lit up. This time Li Chenmo also came over because the bamboo basket was quite heavy for his wife. When he stood in front of the old man, he looked at the old man from head to toe. The old man was not intimidated by his gaze and looked at him with interest instead.

“Girl, you have such a good sense. Your husband is extraordinary.” The old man said, stroking his beard.

“Uncle, thank you for your compliment, but we don’t have much time today. These are today’s items. You see if there is anything you want.” Lu Jueyu said calmly.

The old man uncovered the leaves covering the items and saw the items inside. He was very satisfied with the contents of the bamboo basket.

“Girl, I want everything.” The old man said while taking out a purse from his clothes.

Lu Jueyu took the purse and opened it. There were five gold coins inside, shining in the dim light. She took out a coin, weighed it, and guessed that each coin weighed about 30 to 50 grams.

In this era, gold is more valuable than jade. Although she preferred jade to gold, Lu Jueyu still accepted the gold bars. Regardless of era, gold is a hard currency and its value will only increase over time. Collecting more gold is not a bad option.

Seeing that she accepted the gold, the old man said, “Girl, if you have something good, can you give it to me first? In addition to jade, I also have a lot of gold.”

“Sure. As long as you can afford to pay, I will sell my things to you.” Lu Jueyu nodded.

“Uncle, I will lend you this bamboo basket. You can return it to me next time.” She added.

“Thank you.” The old man did not refuse her kindness and covered the contents with leaves before leaving.

Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo came to a desolate alley and entered the space. After changing their clothes, they come out of the space with the bicycle. They rode their bicycles back to the village.

At the same time, Zhang Dongmei was plowing in her front yard. She needs to prepare the soil before she can start planting her summer vegetables. While she was working, Jiao Siyu came over. Entering the house, her eyes glanced around, as if she was looking for something.

When she walked up to Zhang Dongmei, Jiao Siyu looked at her disdainfully and asked, “Where’s the eldest brother?”

Zhang Dongmei didn’t know why her sister-in-law was looking for her husband, so she asked, “Second sister-in-law, why are you looking for my husband?”

Jiao Siyu waved her hand impatiently and said, “Just tell me where the eldest brother is. Why do you ask so many questions?”

Zhang Dongmei frowned and said, “Jiao Siyu, you are looking for my husband. It is normal for me to ask you why you are looking for him.”

“Since I’m looking for your husband, of course, I have something important to tell him. Why? Are you worried that something will happen if I talk to your husband?” Jiao Siyu asked with a sneer.

She was full of confidence in her beauty and looked at Zhang Dongmei condescendingly. Especially when she sees Zhang Dongmei’s hands and feet covered with mud.

Due to heavy work and long-term exposure to the sun, Zhang Dongmei’s skin has darkened and she looks older than her actual age. Not to mention she’s a 29-year-old woman with two kids. The strange thing is that Li Chenze still loves her so much and treats her very well.

Jiao Siyu looked her over from head to toe and said, “Sister-in-law, I suggest you take more care of yourself. Otherwise, when your husband goes to find a younger, beautiful woman, it will be too late for you to cry.”

Zhang Dongmei was furious at her words, but she still held it back and said, “Jiao Siyu, you don’t have to worry about my family affairs. You should pay more attention to your husband. I heard that he spent all the money my husband lent him for that woman again.”

Jiao Siyu glared at her and said, “You don’t need to interfere in my affairs. Just answer my questions.”

Zhang Dongmei smiled sarcastically and said, “In that case, don’t interfere in my affairs. You can leave. My husband is not at home. I won’t send you off.”

After saying that, Zhang Dongmei ignored Jiao Siyu and continued to plow the ground and pull out weeds.

Jiao Siyu was angry and refused to leave as she did not get any benefits. She looked around and found washed radishes and cabbage piled in the basins beside the well. She walked over and took some radishes and cabbage, and then left angrily.

Zhang Dongmei shook her head when she saw her taking away the vegetables. Not long after, Li Jinqian came over and asked with a pout, “Mother, why did you let my second aunt take our vegetables? It took us a long time to take care of it before we could harvest the vegetables.”
