Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 480

Chapter 480: Borrowing Money ( 1 )
Liu Hua smiled at her and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’m not an ungrateful person. Even after I get married, I will never forget my natal family. I will definitely visit often.”

After listening to her words, Shi Qiwan nodded with satisfaction and began to lecture her like an elder, “Ah Hua, don’t blame your sister-in-law. It’s not that our family looks down on Xiao Li. We are just worried that you will suffer if you marry him.”

“Now that we have helped you find a good husband, you should stop refusing to marry him. In this way, Father and Mother will feel at ease. After all, you are not young anymore, and it is already difficult to find a good husband. If you ruin this marriage, you may end up marrying a widow or an old man. I’m sure you don’t want that, right?” she added meaningfully.

After listening to her words, Liu Hua smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will definitely get married this time.”

Shi Qiwan was overjoyed to see that she didn’t refuse like before. Thinking about the betrothal gift promised by the Huang family, she could already count how much money she got from the Huang family as a matchmaker.

She would use the money to solve her brother’s problems and use the rest to buy some meat for her husband and children. She will buy herself a new set of clothes too.

Liu Hua smiled when she saw the calculating look in her sister-in-law’s eyes. She didn’t know how her family would react if they knew that the man she was going to marry was Xiao Li and not Huang Tingyun.

“Sister-in-law, let me deal with this fish first.”

Looking at the big fat fish, Shi Qiwan swallowed her saliva and said, “Okay, go about your business. Remember to put some ginger in the soup. Your nephews like to drink fish soup like this.”

Liu Hua rolled her eyes after hearing her words and walked to the backyard to clean the fish. Her nephews do love ginger, but her niece hates it. She prefers her niece to those two spoiled brats. Liu Fuyan is not only smart, but also very hardworking, calm and mature. She didn’t know who gave her sister-in-law so much confidence that she would listen to her words.

This fish was given to her by her man to nourish her body. She would never share it with someone who looked down on her man!

Since her niece loves spicy food, she decided to use the fish head to make hot and sour fish soup and the rest would be cooked into braised fish. Her mother also loves spicy food and her father likes braised fish. She would use these dishes to improve her man’s impression in front of her parents.

She couldn’t help but laugh when she thought that she would be able to be with Xiao Li openly from tomorrow onwards.

At the same time, Xiao Li was counting money in the bedroom. After counting all the money, he sighed. At this time, he only had 278 yuan and 33 cents. This is far from enough as a bride price.

He diligently saved money and lived frugally, just to give Liu Hua a good life. But over the years, he has only saved so much money. He sat on the Kang bed and fell into deep thought.

While he can make money by selling some dried mushrooms or wild animals to the black market, he can only do it once or twice a month. Not to mention that mushrooms take time to grow, and even wild animals are rare for him to encounter.

As for the fish, he couldn’t sell them because there weren’t many fish in the river and the villagers went there to fish every day. If he catches too many fish, he will get himself into trouble. After a long time, he finally remembered Li Lingyun’s proposal.

About three months ago, he visited Li Lingyun after he was discharged from the hospital and he offered him a job. At that time, he didn’t know what kind of job he was doing, but looking at his secretiveness, Xiao Li knew that this job must be dangerous.

Although he is grateful to Li Lingyun for helping him, he feels that his current life is good enough. By selling dried mushrooms and wild animals, he can earn 30 to 40 yuan a month, which is equivalent to a factory worker’s salary. So, he declined the offer.

He didn’t expect that he would regret it now. Although he didn’t know if the offers were still available, he could only go to his friends shamelessly. After making up his mind, Xiao Li put the money in a jar and hid it before going to the kitchen.

Since he went to ask for help, he couldn’t visit empty-handed. He took a bamboo basket, put a fish in it, locked the door and left the house.

After walking for thirty minutes, he finally arrived at Li Lingyun’s home. He knocked on the door and said, “Brother Yun, are you at home?”

Since it was noon, Li Lingyun was having lunch when he heard Xiao Li’s voice. He put down his chopsticks and went to open the door, and saw his friend smiling at him.

He stepped aside to let him in and asked, “Ah Li, what brings you here today?”

Entering the house, Xiao Li handed over the bamboo basket and said sheepishly, “Brother Yun, I have come to ask you a favor.”

Li Lingyun raised his eyebrows, took the bamboo basket, and said, “Let’s go in and talk.”

Following him, Xiao Li looked at the lush vegetables and said, “Brother Yun, your vegetables grow really well. What kind of fertilizer do you use?”

“I used my third brother’s pig manure. If you want it, you can go to the pig pen to get it yourself early tomorrow morning.” Li Lingyun said casually.
