Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 561

Chapter 561: Side Jobs
After coming to this conclusion, Lu Jueyu let out a long sigh and whispered, “Ah Yan, what price did you pay for us to be together?”

After a while, she took a deep breath and decided to stop dwelling on the past and look forward to her present life. After making up her mind, she sped up her movements and finished grinding several barrels of dried spiritual grass powder.

Then she spent 28 million gold coins to buy a factory and a prescription package, leaving only 3 million gold coins inside her space’s inventory. Before leaving the space, she took a barrel of salted duck eggs from the warehouse.

Appearing in the bedroom, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and lit a fire to boil the salted duck eggs. While the eggs were boiling, she took out two more barrels of eggs from her space. In addition to salted eggs, her space also produces century eggs and tea eggs.

Just after she finished washing the century eggs and tea eggs, she heard a knock on the door from the front yard. Knowing that her husband would open the door, Lu Jueyu continued to clean the eggs and put them into the bamboo basket.

Not long after, Pan Meijia entered the kitchen, followed by Zhang Dongmei, Wang Muxiao, and Chen Anwen.

Seeing Wang Muxiao, Lu Jueyu was surprised and asked, “Second sister-in-law, why are you here tonight? Does my mother agree to let you come?”

Wang Muxiao smiled and explained, “Mother said that as long as I don’t overwork myself, I can come and help you.”

Thinking of what happened before, Chen Anwen smiled and said, “Mother agreed since your second sister-in-law promised not to fight with others.”

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu chuckled and said teasingly, “It’s already a miracle if my second sister-in-law could hold back from fighting until she gives birth to my nephews. As for not fighting after she gave birth, I’m afraid it will be difficult to do so.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Muxiao rubbed her belly, sighed exaggeratedly, and said, “Aiya, my children, look at how your aunt bullied your mother. When you come out, remember to seek justice for your mother ah.”

Hearing her words, Chen Anwen shook her head and said, “Okay, we should start working. Otherwise, we may not be able to finish it before midnight.”

Lu Jueyu nodded, took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and said, “Sisters-in-law, Meijia, tonight we are going to make 300 Lempers, 300 scallion pancakes, 200 meat buns, 300 Goutie, 500 fried bananas, 200 croquettes, 50 liters of soy milk, and 300 Youtiao.”

Hearing the order list, Pan Meijia asked in surprise, “Jueyu, why are the pre-orders larger than usual?”

“Half of the pre-orders come from another town. Food shortages in other cities are more serious, which affects our business,” Lu Jueyu said.

“Then should we increase the order limit so that more people can get food?” Chen Anwen asked.

Lu Jueyu shook her head and explained, “The order limit can only be increased by this much. After all, if we accept too many reservations, we will not have enough raw materials and time. What’s more, most of our customers come from wealthy families. So even if we raise the limit, it won’t be able to help the civilians.”

After hearing her words, they nodded and said nothing more. Their food is much more expensive than food sold in state-run restaurants. Therefore, their business cannot really help the common people solve the problem of food shortage.

After assigning tasks, they started to get busy. Four hours later, they put the snacks into several bamboo baskets and covered it with banana leaves before tying it up with hemp rope. Due to the large volume of orders, it was not completed until almost midnight. Tired and sleepy, they left after Lu Jueyu handed them the remaining snacks.

Fortunately, they consumed food and drinks from Lu Jueyu’s space on a daily basis which improved their health. Otherwise, they would have been exhausted from the daily workload and snack business and fallen sick.

After they left, Li Chenmo locked the gate and went to the kitchen. Seeing his wife massaging her shoulders, he walked over to help her.

While massaging his wife’s shoulders, he said, “Wife, you should take a few days off. Otherwise, your body may not be able to bear the fatigue any longer.”

Lu Jueyu hummed and said, “I will have a rest tomorrow. Husband, don’t worry. If I’m tired, I can rest more in my own space.”

Although Li Chenmo knew this, he still felt heartbroken when he saw his wife working so hard to make money. After contemplating for a moment, he said, “Wife, actually you don’t need to work so hard to make money. I can earn money for you to spend.”

Lu Jueyu glanced at her husband and asked curiously, “Husband, do you have the same side job as my second brother?”

Thinking of his side job, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “I do have some side jobs.”

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu’s eyes lit up. She turned around, squinted her eyes, and asked, “Husband, why didn’t you tell me this? How many secrets have you hidden from me, huh?”

When Li Chenmo saw his wife interrogating him, he chuckled and said helplessly, “Wife, you have never asked me.”

Lu Jueyu snorted at his words and said, “Okay, let me ask you now. Husband, how many side jobs do you have and what is your business?”

After thinking about it, Li Chenmo said, “Wife, do you still remember the grain store opened by my comrade-in-arms?”

Thinking of the last time her husband took her to see his comrades, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Are you talking about the one in the town’s black market?”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Mhmm. That store is mine, and they help me manage it. In addition to this, I also have shares in some of my comrade’s businesses in other cities.”
