Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Visiting Han Yuheng ( 2 )
“So, we want to know if we can work together and raise more pigs. With two people working together, we can raise more pigs than one person can raise alone.” Li Chenmo added.

Han Yuheng thought about their plan and asked, “What about the work points? How do you plan to share them?”

“We will share it equally.” Ling Yun said calmly.

“This plan is possible, but how many pigs do you plan to raise?” Han Yuheng asked.

“We plan to get 26 more piglets. A total of 30 pigs.” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun and Han Yuheng both looked at him. Just as Ling Yun was surprised by his bold request, Han Yuheng was caught in a dilemma. It’s great that they are taking the initiative to raise more pigs but the risk is too high.

If they succeed, they’re not the only ones to be rewarded. Even as the team leader, he will definitely be promoted. But if it fails, he will also be blamed and need to shoulder the responsibility. More importantly, they not only need to raise pigs successfully, but the pigs must weigh at least 100 kilograms. If there are four pigs, that’s fine, because the pigweed is enough for them to eat. But if there are 30 pigs, the pigweed will not be enough for their daily consumption.

After considering the pros and cons, Han Yuheng felt that it would be better to leave this matter to the brigade leader to decide. Even if he won’t be promoted when Li Chenmo and Ling Yun succeed, at least he won’t have to take responsibility if they fail. It’s better to err on the side of caution than gamble with his current position.

“I can’t make a decision on this matter. I will report this matter to my superiors and let you know in a few days. As for how many piglets you will get, I can’t guarantee it.” Han Yuheng said after thinking for a long time.

Li Chenmo had already guessed Han Yuheng’s decision before. With his personality, he would not dare to take risks if the risks were too high. Since he didn’t want him to get any benefit from this matter, he changed the previous plan of 10 pigs to 30 pigs.

Li Chenmo is confident that they will have no problem raising 30 pigs since he was sure that his brother would join him when he asked him to. As for Lu Heng, he will take Lu Cheng with him because they can’t bear to see their sister fail in raising pigs. Perhaps they would also ask their wives to help gather pigweed.

After getting the result he wanted, Li Chenmo didn’t stay any longer and said, “Then we’ll bother team leader Han to inform the brigade for us.”

Thinking of the wild honey he received before, Han Yuheng nodded and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, just leave this matter to me.”

Ling Yun looked at the sky and said, “It’s getting late, we will take our leave first. Thank you, team leader.”

Han Yuheng saw them off and returned to the house. When they went back, Ling Yun said, “Chenmo, didn’t we agree on ten pigs? Why did you increase the number suddenly?”

Li Chenmo knew he would ask, so he said, “Brother Ling, I invite my brother and brother-in-law to join us. It won’t be a problem for five people to raise thirty pigs.”

“Aren’t you worried that your wife will get sick from overwork? It takes a lot of effort to prepare feed for 30 pigs.” Ling Yun asked.

“We already have a solution. You don’t have to worry.” Li Chenmo said casually.

Listening to his casual tone, Ling Yun raised his eyebrows and added, “It seems that you and your wife have some trump cards.”

Li Chenmo was amused by his words and asked with a chuckle, “What trump card do we have? I asked the Dong siblings to help us pick pigweed, and in return, we gave them three meals a day.”

Ling Yun thought of Dong Li and Dong Huang’s thin and malnourished bodies, and agreed, “Mhmm. Instead of getting low work points from the production team, they might as well help you. At least helping you can make them have a full belly.”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo said nothing. He helped them not just out of pity, but because they were smart, honest, hard-working kids. After sending Ling Yun back to his home, Li Chenmo returned to his home and went to sleep after washing up.

Ten days later, they finally finished planting all the fields. After planting, they rest for a few days before starting work again. During this time until the summer harvest, they need to irrigate their fields and clear out weeds and pests. They also need to repair tools and clean the barn in preparation for harvest season.

Apart from this, most of the villagers are busy with their own vegetable gardens. Unless it’s winter, they still have to work every day.

Today was a rare rest day, so Lu Jueyu did not wake up her husband and let him sleep a little longer. Although she prepared nutritious meals for him every day, he still lost some weight and tanned his skin.

After washing up, Lu Jueyu checked the chicken coop, refilled the feeders and water bowl, and then went to water the vegetable garden and peach tree. As she watered the vegetables and peach tree, she discovered that all her predictions about harvest time were wrong.

Except for sunflowers, cucumbers, cantaloupes, and watermelons, most vegetables are ready for harvest. She looked at the round and red cherry tomatoes and couldn’t help but reach out and pick one and put it in her mouth.

The moment she bit into it, the juice filled her mouth, and she closed her eyes to savor the taste. The cherry tomato is not only crispy, sweet and delicious, but also has thin skins, high water content, and is very fresh and juicy. It tastes almost like candy.
