Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Borrowing Money ( 2 )
“Can I do this? I heard that Brother Chenmo’s pig manure is delivered to the brigade every week.” Xiao Li asked.

Li Lingyun glanced at his friend and said with a smile, “Even if you take it everyday, it will be more than enough for the brigade. We are worried about how to store pig manure since the pigs produce more manure as they grow up. By taking the manure, you are helping me save us from the trouble of digging a new pit.”

He placed the fish into a basin of water by the well, walked into the living room, and asked, “Have you eaten?”

Seeing the rice, braised pork, sauteed eggplant with chili, and pickled vegetable soup, Xiao Li swallowed but still said, “Brother Yun, I’ve eaten it.”

As soon as he said this, his stomach rumbled, and he covered his stomach in embarrassment. He came asking for help, not for eating.

Li Lingyun looked at him and said with a smile, “Your sister-in-law made this, so go get the utensils and accompany me for a meal.”

At first, Xiao Li thought these dishes were made by Lu Jueyu, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that his friend was talking about Pan Meijia. Out of curiosity about the taste, and thinking how close their relationships were, he didn’t refuse and went to the kitchen to get the tableware.

When he came back, he saw Li Lingyun taking out a bottle of wine from his bedroom.

After sitting down, Li Lingyun poured him a small glass of tonic wine. This wine was brewed by his girlfriend according to the recipe of his third sister-in-law.

Although the taste is a little bit different from that brewed by his third sister-in-law, it was made by his beloved woman. So, he cherished it very much and only shared it with his closest friends and family.

Looking at the golden colored wine, Xiao Li asked, “Brother Yun, what is this?”

“This is tonic wine, made by your sister-in-law. The alcohol content is very high, so you can only drink one small cup.”

Hearing his words and proud tone, Xiao Li raised the cup and took a sip. Instead of the smell of medicine, the tonic wine smells of fresh air after the rain. He suspected it was not a tonic wine but a mountain spring water. He took another sip and after a moment, he looked at the wine in surprise.

Despite the cool sensation of the wine, the moment he swallowed the tonic wine, he felt a warm current spreading through his body. The fatigue caused by work, and even the pain in his left knee due to his previous injuries was lessened by half

“Brother Yun, this is good stuff! My sister-in-law must use a lot of precious medicinal materials to brew it.”

Li Lingyun nodded and said, “Jia Er did use the wild ginseng we found last time to brew this tonic wine.”

What he didn’t know was that Pan Meijia purchased most of her ingredients from Lu Jueyu. She only had a small piece of wild ginseng, so she asked her friend if she could buy some ingredients, including Baijiu.

At first, she didn’t know if her friend had any extra ingredients to sell to her, so she just gave it a try. Fortunately, Lu Jueyu readily agreed and sold her ingredients to her at a low price. Now that the raw materials have been processed, she only needs to brew according to the formula and add Baijiu.

Lu Jueyu also gave her a small packet of powder and told her to put a small pinch in every twenty liters of tonic wine. Although she had no idea what the powder was, she trusted her friend and added it to her tonic. She was surprised when she saw the color of the wine change from the dark brown to light golden after adding the powder.

Thinking it must be some kind of secret ingredient, she hid the powder and never told anyone, including her boyfriend. She helped Lu Jueyu make snacks to sell and made a lot of money. So, when she learned from her brother’s letter that Xiao Yiqing was getting married, she decided to brew some tonic wine for her.

Although they are no longer friends, she still worries about her health after her incident with the Yang family. She brewed twenty liters of tonic wine and gave one liter to Xiao Yiqing. She also sent two liters to her parents, one liter to her eldest brother, and two liters to her second brother.

Since her second brother was a soldier, she gave him more so that he could share it with his friends. Then, she gave one liter to Father Lu and Mother Lu, and the rest to her boyfriend. As for herself, she would visit her boyfriend and drink a small cup at his house. Therefore, Li Lingyun had thirteen liters of tonic wine stored in his house.

After lunch, Li Lingyun cleared the table and washed the dishes. Xiao Li helped him wash the dishes and said, “Brother Yun, I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?” Li Lingyun asked.

“About the offer you told me about before, are they still available?”

Li Lingyun looked up at him and said, “Didn’t you say you don’t want to do dangerous things? Why have you changed your mind now?”

“Brother Yun, I want to marry Ah Hua, so I need money to pay the bride price.” Xiao Li said with a smile.

“So you finally decided not to run away?”

“Well, I can’t live without her. Just the thought of her being married to another man makes me want to kill that man. More importantly, she was the one who saved my life that night and we have a son.” Xiao Li said.

Hearing his words, Li Lingyun was stunned and asked, “You have a son with her?”

Xiao Li nodded and said with a smile, “Brother Yun, my son is one year old. After marrying Ah Hua, I plan to bring him back.”
