Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Humiliation
“Eldest Brother, even if you are not willing to share the money and food equally, you should at least give each of us 10 yuan, 20 kilograms of whole grains, and some eggs. The summer harvest is still two months away. With so little money and food, how do you expect us to survive until distribution day?” Another elder added.

Grandpa Chen picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, “Fourth brother, it’s not that I don’t want to share food and money with everyone, but we really don’t have much money and food left.”

Although everyone knows that Grandpa Chen is shameless, there is no evidence to prove that he is lying. After all, he manages all the money and food. As for the account books, it could be written according to his wishes. So how could they go against him?

Now, the most important thing is to separate from these leeches. As for food and money, as long as they work hard, they will definitely not starve to death. After making up their minds, they finally agreed.

“Since my eldest brother insists that our Chen family is poor, I won’t argue with you. My family has four sons, four daughters-in-law, two unmarried daughters, fifteen grandsons, and five granddaughters. Including my wife and me, we have a total of 32 people,” one elder said.

Grandpa Chen thought for a while and nodded, “Then I will give you 160 yuan and 64 kilograms of whole grains. Your third daughter-in-law has just given birth to a baby, so I will add five eggs for her.”

Although he was furious, the elder still held back and gritted his teeth as he said, “Eldest Brother, I will tell my eldest son to come and get the money and food. We have to pack our belongings and won’t stay any longer.”

After saying that, he left the hall angrily. Compared with the food and money his branch gives to the first branch family every year, what he receives now is less than one-twentieth. What a great eldest brother he has. He will remember the humiliation today!

Later, the elders reported the number of people in their family one after another, and then separated their family’s household registration. At the end of the day, the news of the Chen family’s separation shocked the entire Xie Village.

While everyone was busy discussing this matter, Han Yuheng was busy writing a letter of recommendation for the Chen family. Since they came to him as a group, he could not ask for a “thank you gift” from them. So, after writing more than thirty letters of recommendation, all he received was a word of ‘thank you’.

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu got up and was boiling water in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the backyard door. Thinking of what happened before, Lu Jueyu picked up a piece of firewood before she went to check the situation.

When she walked to the door, she heard Ding Sha’s voice, “Sister-in-law, Brother Li, it’s me, Ding Sha.”

Lu Jueyu breathed a sigh of relief, put down the stick in her hand, and opened the door. When she saw Ding Sha standing with her hair wet from dew, she said, “Ding Sha, why are you here so early? Please come in.”

Walking into the house, Ding Sha handed her a piece of paper and said, “Sister-in-law, now that the Black Hawk Group matter has been resolved, we have started doing business again. This is the pre-order list for your products.”

Lu Jueyu took the paper, looked at the list, and said, “Ding Sha, didn’t we agree to limit the quantity? Why has the pre-order amount doubled from last time?”

“Sister-in-law, we know that we have agreed to your conditions. However, we have stopped selling your goods for more than a week. Customers said that if Brother Houzi does not give them a share of your goods, they will no longer buy our goods. Besides increasing the pre-order limit, we really have no choice.” Ding Sha explained helplessly.

After listening to her words, Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “In that case, then give the customer a little less. I will not increase the amount.”

“But…”

Before Ding Sha finished speaking, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Ding Sha, even if I want to make money, I don’t have enough manpower to prepare the goods. You know I can only prepare these things at night. In just a few hours, it’s impossible for me to get everything on your list ready. The quantity limit I told you before is already the maximum amount I can do in a day.”

Thinking about the amount of products customers ordered, it was really too much for one person to prepare. For Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo, it is already good that they can prepare so many things every day. It seems they should not give in to customer pressure.

Ding Sha nodded and said, “I understand. Then I will tell Brother Houzi about this.”

“Thank you, Ding Sha. By the way, how is your cousin’s condition?” Lu Jueyu asked.

“My cousin has recovered. Thanks to your husband and your timely help, he managed to keep his life. Sister-in-law, our Ding family will never forget your husband or your life-saving grace.”

Lu Jueyu smiled after hearing her words and said, “There is no need to be so polite between us.”

“Sister-in-law, I need to visit other people. So, I’ll take my leave first.”

Before she left, Lu Jueyu quickly said, “Ding Sha, please wait a moment.”

After she finished speaking, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out two kilograms of vegetables, two cantaloupes, twenty eggs, five kilograms of meat, five kilograms of whole grains, five kilograms of white flour, two bottles of sesame oil, and two bottles of tonic wine from her space.

She put everything in a bamboo basket and covered it with banana leaves. When she walked back to the backyard, she saw Ding Sha looking at the peanuts curiously.
