Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Midnight Visit
As Li Lingyun cuts, the honey drips into the jar. He put the beehive into the jar with a smile on his face. He didn’t expect the beehive to be so big that the jars were filled to the brim.

When he was done, he covered the jar with a cloth and tied it with twine. He took it home in a bamboo basket. To prevent others from being jealous, he collected some pigweed and covered the jar with it. Since everyone knew that he and his brothers raised pigs together, no one asked anything when they saw him gather the pigweed.

While Li Lingyun was busy processing the wild honey, Li Chenmo was sitting in the brigade secretary’s office. He took a sip of tea and found that the tea tasted far worse than his wife’s tea.

Not long after, the brigade secretary walked into the room, followed by the young man who had delivered the piglet before.

Seeing the brigade secretary, Li Chenmo stood up, stretched out his hand and said, “Brigade secretary.”

The brigade secretary shook hands with him and said, “Comrade Li, please have a seat.”

After they were seated, the brigade secretary asked, “Comrade Li, I wonder what brings you here today?”

Seeing the eager eyes of the brigade secretary, Li Chenmo smiled. He knew that the young comrade had already told the leader about his wife’s vegetable garden and the pig manure.

He took out a piece of paper, put it on the table, and said, “Brigade Secretary, this is the new pig feed formula that my wife and I use. I believe you are already aware of the quality of my pig manure.”

The brigade secretary took the paper, read it carefully, nodded, and said with a smile, “Xiao Jiang has already told me about your vegetable garden. It is hard to believe that the quality of pig manure can be improved by changing the pig feed. I will let our comrades test this formula. If your pig feeds can increase the weight of the pigs and improve the quality of the fertilizer, then you and your wife have really done a great service to our country.”

Li Chenmo smiled at his words and said modestly, “Actually, we didn’t expect this either. As long as it can benefit the people, my wife and I are already content.”

After speaking, Li Chenmo picked up the bamboo basket at his feet and put it on the table. He gently pushed it to the brigade secretary and said, “This is a snack made by my wife. Brigade secretary, please give it a try.”

Seeing the bamboo basket, the brigade secretary frowned. He is one of the officials who hates bribery the most. Every day there was no shortage of people coming to fawn over him. So after hearing Li Chenmo’s words, his good impression of him disappeared instantly.

But when he opened the bamboo basket and saw that there were only snacks and nothing more, he felt embarrassed for his own suspicions. He shouldn’t be too quick to judge others without finding out the truth.

Opening the jar, the aroma of meat sauce instantly filled the room. His eyes lit up and he opened the oil paper, only to see fruit slices and empanadas. Smelling the fragrance, both the brigade secretary and Xiao Jiang felt their stomachs growling.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Chenmo stood up and said, “Brigade Secretary, Comrade Jiang, my wife is still waiting for me at home. I’ll take my leave now.”

After hearing his words, the brigade secretary and Comrade Jiang both nodded and stood up.

The brigade secretary smiled and said, “Thank your wife for me.”

Li Chenmo nodded to him, left the office, and rode his bicycle back to Xie Village. He returned home before noon and had lunch with his wife. After fulfilling their promise to the brigade secretary, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and spent the day peacefully.

Just as they spent the day peacefully, the political situation in the capital fell into chaos due to the struggle between the leaders. Due to political struggles, lower-level institutions lacked capable personnel to perform basic functions, causing Huaxia’s economy to fall into chaos.

Amid the political turmoil, villagers continued to live their lives as usual. Unknowingly, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the middle of the night, Houzi carried a bag, covered his face with a scarf, and sneaked into the pig pen. After entering the pig pen, Old Su was woken up by him and asked him in a low voice, “Xiaojun, why are you here today?”

Houzi put the bundle on the ground and said in a low voice, “Grandpa, how are you?”

Old Su patted Houzi’s hand and said, “Xiaojun, grandpa is fine. You shouldn’t come to this place. If you are caught, you will be in trouble. ”

Houzi looked at his paternal grandpa sadly and said, “Grandpa, I know what to do. This time I am here to deliver medicine to you.”

After speaking, he opened the bundle, took out a bottle of cough medicine, and said, “Grandpa, you drink it once a day. I’ll come again when it’s almost finished.”

Old Su took the medicine and hid it under a pile of hay. After confirming that his grandpa was fine, Houzi took out a jar of tonic wine and handed it to his grandpa while saying, “Grandpa, this is tonic wine for Grandpa Gu. His granddaughter asked me to send it over.”

Old Su took the jar and hid it. Before leaving, Houzi held his grandpa’s hands and whispered, “Grandpa, I got some news that the capital is in great turmoil at the moment, and the situation is still unclear. The leaders are trying to bring down the opposition party. So, you must stay strong and don’t give up. I’ll find a way to get you out of this place.”

Hearing his words, a glimmer of hope reigned in Old Su’s eyes. Seeing that it was getting late, Houzi hurriedly left the pigpen.

No one noticed that he came to the pig pen besides Li Lingyun who hid behind the tree. He looked at Houzi’s back thoughtfully and muttered, “What is he doing in this place?”
