Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 379

Chapter 379: You Are Too Bold ( 2 )
The Li brothers cleared the table and went to wash the dishes and pots. After that, they sat in the living room, and Li Chenze asked, “Second brother, can you tell me now?”

Li Lingyun thought for a while and said, “Brother, actually, I didn’t buy the meat and bones.”

Li Chenze was stunned and asked, “Second brother, if you didn’t buy it, where did you get the meat? Are you working as a butcher in an illegal pig farm?”

After hearing his words, Li Chenmo glanced at his brothers and said with a nod, “Brother, you are half right.”

“Brother, I used to be a butcher, but not anymore. Now, I have my own pig farm.” Li Lingyun said calmly.

When Li Chenze heard his words, his eyes widened in shock. Being a butcher and owning a pig farm are two completely different things. As a butcher, although the work is hard, the salary is high and you can buy meat at a lower price. What’s more, if something happens, they can slip away with a low risk of being caught by authorities.

But as a pig farm owner, the risk of being shot if caught is almost 100%. This work is very dangerous. In the current chaotic political situation, the government targets illegal pig farms more often, and eight out of ten pig farm owners who are caught are shot to death.

Thinking of this, Li Chenze frowned and said with worries, “Second brother, you… you are too bold! Do you know how dangerous this is?”

Listening to the worry in his brother’s voice, Li Lingyun felt warm in his heart. He nodded and said, “Brother, I know it very well. But you don’t have to worry about this. I have contact with the government officers. If the central government investigates and tracks down the illegal pig farms, they will notify me. I have a backup plan for an emergency situation.”

Seeing that his second brother was so confident, Li Chenze sighed and said, “Second brother, I believe you know what you are doing. However, I hope you can tell us if something happens. You have a family, and we will support and protect you. Remember, you no longer have to bear everything alone.”

These words were what he wanted to say to his second brother from the day he returned to the family. Therefore, after finally speaking out, Li Chenze stopped nagging Li Lingyun, and the matter passed like this.

As for Li Lingyun, after he told his elder brother, he felt inexplicably relieved after listening to his words. He didn’t want to tell his brother and father about his pig farm because he knew they were honest, law-abiding citizens.

His actions were a crime and could have resulted in a life sentence imprisonment or even the death penalty. He worried they would be disappointed if they found out. But now, instead of showing disappointment, his brother even showed concern and support.

This was indeed a surprise to him. He and his third brother looked at each other and saw a smile on his third brother’s face and an ‘I told you so’ expression on his face. The three of them chatted for a while and then went out to do their own business.

Not long after, the Dong siblings also came. After breakfast, they began to harvest vegetables while Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo planted soybeans, peanuts, and carrots in the backyard. Due to them using seeds, fertilizer, and water from Lu Jueyu’s space, the plants grew several times faster than usual. It won’t be long before they can harvest them.

Since carrots only take 70 to 80 days to mature, she could probably harvest them in two or three weeks. Thinking of the sweet and crunchy carrots, she felt happy. They can make more money with more types of vegetables.

Li Chenmo looked at his wife’s smiling face and felt his mood improved significantly. Unlike the villagers who went to the tomb today, the Li family will go tomorrow. Although the central government is very strict, the rules in rural areas are relatively loose.

What’s more, as long as the brigade is not alarmed, most production team leaders will turn a blind eye to the matter. They also visited their ancestral tomb, so they could not criticize the villagers.

After three hours of hard work, they finally planted two plots of peanuts and one plot of soybeans. Carrots were also planted between the peanuts and soybeans. In the front yard, Dong Li and Dong Huang also finished harvesting vegetables.

Several huge bamboo baskets filled with vegetables are neatly placed near the woodshed. As they went to the backyard to harvest cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, there was a knock on the front door.

“Comrade Li, are you at home?”

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Li Chenmo stopped what he was doing and said, “Wife, I’ll go take a look.”

After saying that, he walked to the front yard while wiping the sweat from his forehead. Opening the gate, he looked at the two middle-aged men and asked, “Comrade, who are you looking for?”

The middle-aged man was not offended by his straightforward question and said with a smile, “Comrade Li, we are here to hand over your reward on behalf of the brigade secretary.”

Hearing that he was sent by the brigade secretary, Li Chenmo stepped aside and said, “Comrade, please come in.”

Entering the house, they saw the thriving vegetable garden and nodded. Fortunately, Dong Li and Dong Huang had just finished harvesting vegetables. So, there are only unrippen, seasonal fruits and vegetables in the garden.

A middle-aged man said with a hint of praise in his voice, “Comrade Li, you are really good at farming. Maybe you can harvest vegetables in ten to fifteen days.”

“My wife and I planted the vegetables in advance. So, it is indeed almost time for the vegetables to mature and ready for harvesting.” Li Chenmo said calmly.

The middle-aged man didn’t know that he was blatantly lying in front of him and his comrade. He nodded repeatedly and said, “You have made a good decision. This way, you can enjoy fresh vegetables in advance.”
