Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 565

Chapter 565: Baseless Rumors
Li Chenmo stood by the stairs, wiping his wife’s sweat with a handkerchief, and said, “Wife, thank you for your hard work.”

Lu Jueyu smiled at him and said, “I don’t feel tired at all taking out these things from my space. Don’t worry, husband.”

After letting his wife rest for a while, Li Chenmo took his wife’s hand and walked up the stairs. When they came out of the warehouse, he closed the door, locked it, and covered it with bushes.

After making sure the door was perfectly hidden, they left the mountain and headed for the black market. They need to notify Li Chenmo’s comrades that the supply is available in the warehouse. So they can come and transport it if needed.

When they arrived at the black market, it was already dawn. They came to a secluded corner and entered Lu Jueyu’s space. After changing their clothes, they came out carrying a basket of snacks, vegetables, and fruits to give to Li Chenmo’s comrades.

Walking towards the grain store, Lu Jueyu looked around and found that there were more people in the black market than the last time she came. Perhaps because of the shortage of food, more people came to buy food than to sell them.

Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the grain store. Compared with before, many more people came in and out of this shabby house. When those people saw the big bamboo basket on Li Chenmo’s back, they thought he was here to buy food.

Afraid that the food would be sold out if they were slow, they started pushing each other into the house. Seeing this chaotic scene, Li Chenmo quickly pulled his wife in his arms, protected her using his body as they entered the house.

As soon as they entered the door, the man with the scar on his face noticed them and motioned to the other young man with his gaze.

Then, he looked at the people who were pushing each other and said with a frown, “Stop pushing, or I won’t sell anything to you.”

After listening to his words, everyone finally settled down and lined up obediently.

After the situation was under control, the young man walked over quickly and whispered, “Boss, you are here. Brother Luo came to visit you from the capital.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Mhmm, let’s go in first.”

The young man nodded and led them into the room inside, causing everyone to look at them curiously. Many people are curious about how big the house is.

From the outside, the house looks shabby and small. Entering the house, the room was only nine square meters, which was very small compared to other middlemen’s places. Therefore, they need to squeeze each other to get into the house to buy food.

But what intrigued them most was that the middleman actually had endless stocks of grain. In the past few days, there have been a lot of people coming to buy food. However, the middleman still has inventory available for sale. Therefore, almost everyone guessed that this house was actually very large, but most of the area was used as a warehouse. Otherwise, they would not be able to store so much food.

While the outside room is busy, the underground warehouse is not relaxing either. When Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo arrived at the warehouse area, they saw everyone was so busy that they barely had time to drink water.

In order not to disturb everyone, Lu Jueyu stood in a corner of the warehouse. Seeing this, Li Chenmo placed the bamboo basket next to her and found a chair for his wife to sit on.

After sitting down, Lu Jueyu looked around and noticed that there was a team of people who were packing the grains after they received a piece of paper. After the food is packed, the paper is tied to the bags and given to another group of people to transport to the outside room.

After the food and order slips are sent to the outside room, two people who act as cashiers, call the number written on the order slips. After customers pay, they give them the grain. This system is similar to a modern supermarket.

Not long after, a handsome young man strode over. When he walked in front of them, he said, “Chenmo, you are finally here. I thought you wouldn’t come these days, and I plan to visit you tomorrow.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes stopped on Lu Jueyu. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, “This is…”

Seeing his reaction, Li Chenmo’s eyes darkened. He stood up from his chair, took a step forward, and stood in front of his wife, blocking the young man’s gaze.

When the young man saw his actions, he was stunned for a moment and asked, “Chenmo, why are you so protective? Is this your sister?”

Hearing his question, Li Chenmo glared at him, gritted his teeth, and said, “Luo Zhenhe, this is my wife.”

Luo Zhenhe looked at him with wide eyes as if he had been struck by lightning in broad daylight, and said in disbelief, “Chenmo, since when you got married? What about the general’s daughter?”

“I’ve told you many times that I have nothing to do with her. All of that is just baseless rumor.” Li Chenmo said with a hint of annoyance.

Luo Zhenhe squinted his eyes and asked in disbelief, “Chenmo, everyone saw the way she pursued you back then. It’s impossible that nothing happened between you two.”

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu was a little curious. This was the second time she heard her husband’s comrades talk about his ambiguous relationship with the unknown general’s daughter.

She remembered that in the original plot, there was indeed a person called the general’s daughter. Although her appearance in the plot was less than a chapter, her appearance brought a lot of trouble to the male protagonist.
