Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 562

Chapter 562: Pulled Into The Muddy Water
When Lu Jueyu heard her husband’s words, her eyes widened in shock. She knew that the male protagonist must have a hidden business, otherwise, he would not be able to give the female protagonist a large amount of money to start a business after his death. But she didn’t expect that he actually had so many assets!

When she recovered from the shock, Lu Jueyu asked curiously, “Husband, how much money do you make monthly?”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “Although it is not as much as you make, the monthly income from my store and shares should be around 80,000 yuan.”

“That much? Husband, you won’t be arrested by the government, right?” Lu Jueyu asked worriedly.

Based on the income, the scale of his business should be large which will naturally attract the attention of the government. If something goes wrong, her husband might be caught and shot instead of just being thrown into jail!

Li Chenmo chuckled when he saw how worried his wife was and said, “Don’t worry, wife. The government won’t do anything to these businesses. After all, the government’s senior officers will get some benefits every month. If they target me or my comrades, then they will have to say goodbye to their extra food and money.”

“What’s more, no one knows about my involvement in my comrades’ business and grain store since I work from behind the scenes,” he added.

After listening to his words, Lu Jueyu heaved a sigh of relief. Now, she finally understood why her husband had so many connections with high-level government officials. It turned out that he had already pulled them into the muddy water.

If they target him, there’s no guarantee he won’t reveal their involvement. Therefore, in addition to ensuring their own benefits, they can only cover up her husband’s business to protect themselves.

After coming to this conclusion, Lu Jueyu asked, “What about the money? Where did you keep it?”

“The money from my comrades’ stores is sent to me once a year, while the money for the grain store’s money, I went to take it once a month.” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

Lu Jueyu nodded and asked, “Husband, where did you get so many grains for sale?”

“I paid a higher price than the state-owned supply store and bought it directly from the villagers. In this way, they could make more money. In addition, I also got it from government officials. But, the quantity of grains that could be bought keeps dropping. Now that food is in short supply, it is difficult to get more,” Li Chenmo explained.

Thinking of the inventory in her space, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, how about we sell the grains and flours in the space? In addition to fine grains, it also produces a lot of coarse grains. On the one hand, we can make money, and on the other hand, we can help the common people.”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “Okay. I will take you to visit the warehouse later.”

Knowing that her husband must have a hidden warehouse to store the grain, she nodded and agreed readily, “Okay.”

In the middle of the night, Bajie knocked on the backyard gate and waited for a while before the door opened. Today, in addition to picking up the goods, he also came to deliver a pre-order list of grains. He hoped that Li Chenmo really had a way to get these grains. Otherwise, many people will starve to death this year.

After the door opened, Li Chenmo motioned for them to follow. Entering the kitchen, Lu Jueyu had already taken out all the snacks from her space.

Seeing Bajie and Ding Sha coming, she smiled and said, “Bajie, Ding Sha, you are here. Today, I prepared 50 salted duck eggs, 200 tea eggs, and 50 century eggs for sale. The tea eggs are sold at 20 cents each. Century eggs are sold at 50 cents each. As for salted duck eggs, they are sold at 80 cents each.”

Bajie listened to her words and said, “Sister-in-law, can the price of salted duck eggs be lowered? Raw duck eggs in state-owned supply stores sell for 20 cents. Isn’t 80 cents too expensive?”

Lu Jueyu smiled after listening to his words and explained, “It took me at least twenty days to make the salted duck eggs. Although the raw eggs cost 20 cents, I need to use a lot of salt and a long time to make them. More importantly, duck eggs are hard to come by. I don’t know when I can buy it again to make salted duck eggs.”

After hearing what she said, Bajie nodded and said, “Then I will tell Brother Houzi the price.”

After remembering the price, Bajie took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Chenmo, “Brother Li, this is the pre-order list of grains. When can I come to pick up the food?”

Li Chenmo looked at the list and said, “Because the amount of food is large, I will first ask my friend if he is willing to do this business directly with you. If he agrees, you can just contact him directly. This will save everyone time and trouble.”

Bajie’s eyes lit up when he heard this and said, “Brother Li, it would be great if I could contact your friend directly.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Tomorrow I will go find my friend. After I finish discussing this matter with my friends, it will be either me or my friend who will go to Houzi’s place.”

“Okay, then I will inform Brother Houzi about this matter.” Bajie nodded.

When they were done talking, Ding Sha took out an envelope from her clothes and handed it to Lu Jueyu while saying, “Sister-in-law, here is the money and detailed calculation from selling your goods. In addition to the money, there are also two boxes of jade and gold.”

Lu Jueyu took the money and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Ding Sha.”
