Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 566

Chapter 566: Bad Situation
The General’s daughter’s visit to Xie village was the beginning of the misunderstanding in the relationship between the protagonists. Before, she only thought that this was the plot of the original novel, and that the male protagonist had no relationship with her. But after the dream, she realized that the original plot was her husband’s previous life.

Knowing that a woman has an ambiguous relationship with her husband makes her feel very uncomfortable. She had to admit, she was feeling jealous now. Unconsciously, the smile on her face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a deep frown.

When Li Chenmo looked at his wife, his heart tightened with panic when he saw her expression.

He quickly squatted in front of his wife and explained, “Wife, don’t listen to his nonsense. Nothing happened between me and her. At that time, she fell in love with my friend at first sight. So, she followed me and bribed me with food to get information about him. They have been together for over two years now.”

Lu Jueyu listened to his explanation and said nothing. Although she believes her husband, no wife will not be jealous when she hears rumors about her husband and another girl.

Seeing that his wife was silent, Li Chenmo held her hands tightly and said, “Wife, you are the only one in my heart. Don’t you believe me?”

Before Lu Jueyu could speak, Luo Zhenhe opened his eyes wide and looked at them in surprise.

He pointed at Li Chenmo and asked, “Who are you?! Where did you hide my friend?!”

Li Chenmo was annoyed by him and said, “Luo Zhenhe, you better not cause any trouble for me.”

When he saw his friend being so serious and worried, Luo Zhenhe finally realized that he had just made a big mistake. Suddenly, he remembered the rumors about Li Chenmo when he first joined the army.

When he just returned from a mission, he heard that the flower in the medical department confessed to Li Chenmo, but was rejected. The reason was because he already has someone he loves, and he will only marry her in this life.

Come to think of it, Li Chenmo always kept a distance from the girls and didn’t even look at them. So, when he actually spoke to the general’s daughter, everyone misunderstood and thought she was the girl he loved and they were lovers.

But now seeing his friend so nervous in front of this girl, Luo Zhenhe finally asked, “Chenmo, is she the girl you mentioned before?”

Li Chenmo ignored him, thinking that after so many years, his friend still had not made any progress. He was still as foolish as ever. The facts were already in front of him, but he still asked the obvious thing.

Luo Zhenhe took a deep breath to calm down, and tried to remedy the situation, “Sister-in-law, I was joking just now. Please don’t lower yourself to my level and take my joke to heart.”

Lu Jueyu didn’t want to embarrass his husband and his comrade, so she could only smile and said, “It doesn’t matter.”

Li Chenmo breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Wife, this person is my comrade in the army. His name is Luo Zhenhe. Don’t look at his young face, but he is actually 29 years old.”

Lu Jueyu was shocked when she heard her husband’s words. She thought Luo Zhenhe was only in his early twenties. It turns out that he is much older than her. He does have a handsome baby face. If he were born in modern times, he could make money just with his face alone.

Luo Zhenhe stretched out his hand and said, “Hello, sister-in-law. I’m very happy to finally be able to see you in person.”

Judging from her husband’s reaction just now, Lu Jueyu knew that this man had a good relationship with her husband. So, she shook hands with him and said, “Hello, brother-in-law.”

After the introduction, the situation finally resolved. Luo Zhenhe handed a folder and an envelope to Li Chenmo, “Chenmo, here is the latest news from the capital, as well as the money from your shares.”

Li Chenmo briefly glanced at the news and asked, “Zhenhe, how is the situation over there?”

Hearing his question, Luo Zhenhe frowned deeply and said, “Due to the rise in temperature, the water levels in several areas are dropping at an alarming rate. Although it is still spring, there are already signs of early drought this year. If the situation is not improving, this year’s food shortages will be worse than last year.”

Sensing his friend’s concern, Li Chenmo said, “Zhenhe, I have found another source of supply of grain, flour, salt, and sugar. They are stored in a mountain warehouse near Xie village.”

Hearing his words, Luo Zhenhe’s eyes lit up and asked, “Chenmo, how much supply did you get this time?”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “White rice and coarse grains each occupy 30% of the warehouse space. White flour and corn flour each occupy 10% of the warehouse space. Cane sugar, brown sugar, and salt occupy 20% of the warehouse space.”

As soon as these words came out, not only Luo Zhenhe, but also the others were stunned. Although they are busy at work, they still pay attention to their conversations. After all, their inventory is being depleted at an alarming rate, and they are worried that they will run out of it in the future.

Out of three underground warehouses their Captain has, the one located at the mountain near Xie village was the largest. Based on the area, the total supply stored there at this moment would be enough for them to sell for several months without a problem.

After coming to this conclusion, they all breathed a sigh of relief. It’s great to have a competent leader. No matter how bad the situation is, their leader will find a way to solve the problem and never let them starve.
