Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 625

Chapter 625: It’s A Gift Not A Transaction
When he heard his foster mother’s words, Dong Li breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his adoptive parents gratefully and began to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Jueyu handed the lunch bags to the children and said, “Remember to invite your friends to have lunch at our home later.”

“Foster mother, we are leaving now.” Dong Li said after taking the lunch bag.

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Be careful on the road.”

After sending the children away, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu went to harvest vegetables while waiting for the person from the hospital. Not long after, they heard a knock on the gate.

Li Chenmo stood up and said, “Wife, I’m going to open the door. It should be someone sent by Brother Yu.

“Okay, then I will prepare the food first.” Lu Jueyu said and went to the kitchen.

While her husband was opening the door, she took out a bamboo basket from the cabinet and the food prepared for Han Liling from her own space. She put a pot of vegetable and meat porridge, a bowl of savory tofu pudding, three pieces of scallion pancakes, a tube of soy milk, and two tubes of honey water into the bamboo basket.

Thinking that the person who was coming to pick up the goods would only come once a day, she decided to add a pot of fish soup, two boiled eggs, a bowl of green salad, a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of steamed black rice.

Since there was more food, she replaced the small bamboo basket with a larger one. After she put all the food in the basket, she covered it with a piece of hemp cloth and tied it up.

Not long after, she saw her husband enter the kitchen while asking, “Wife, is the food ready?”

Lu Jueyu nodded to him and said, “Husband, the food is ready. I prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Liling.”

Li Chenmo took the bamboo basket and said, “Brother Yu is here to pick up the food.”

Lu Jueyu thought the people who came should be hospital staff. She didn’t expect Doctor Yu to come in person, and said, “Then I will go greet him.”

“Okay,” Li Chenmo nodded and left the kitchen with her.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Doctor Yu looking at the lush vegetables in surprise. Seeing them coming, he stood up and said, “Brother Li, sister-in-law, the vegetables you grow are much better than those sold in state-owned stores.”

Hearing his praise, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “If Doctor Yu likes it, you can take some back and try it. We use mountain spring water and organic fertilizer, so the vegetables taste sweeter than usual. It also has health benefits and is very fresh.”

When Doctor Yu heard what she said, his eyes lit up and he asked, “Sister-in-law, I’m worried about not being able to buy vegetables for my mother recently. I wonder if I can buy some of your vegetables?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenmo said with a hint of panic in his voice, “We can’t sell you vegetables. This is considered a private transaction and is illegal. If we are reported, it will be a disaster.”

Doctor Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said. He thought that with Li Chenmo’s character, he would dare to make this small deal with him. He didn’t expect him to be so honest. But considering that he has been in the military for many years, it is understandable that he strictly abides by the rules.

After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Brother Li, as friends, it is normal to give each other gifts. Therefore, as long as we don’t tell anyone, it is not a crime. You gave me vegetables, and to thank you, I gave you some money.”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo showed hesitation and yearning on his face. Lu Jueyu couldn’t help but applaud her husband in her heart when she saw him like this. What a waste of his talent. In his previous life, he should have been an actor instead of a businessman. He might be able to win the Best Actor awards ah!

While she was lost in her thoughts, Doctor Yu continued to persuade Li Chenmo, “If Brother Li doesn’t like it, how about I give you something else on top of the money? My great-grandfather was an imperial chef, and we have many jades, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and gold given by the royal family. There were also some utensils made with rare materials and exquisite craftsmanship.”

“But those things are prohibited by the government,” Li Chenmo hesitated.

Noticing his interest, Doctor Yu leaned closer and whispered, “Although it’s not valuable, it’s very beautiful. Brother Li, maybe you can sell it for a good price when you are short of money in the future or give it to your children as your family heirloom.”

After hesitating for a long time, Li Chenmo finally said, “Okay, but I don’t want your money, just give me those things. I will bury it and give it to my children in the future. It should become an heirloom in my family.”

When Doctor Yu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Although he said he could sell them for money, in fact, not many people wanted to buy these things. So if he can trade those items with fresh vegetables or fruits, it’s worth it. Tonight, he will dig out a box and trade it with Li Chenmo.

After reaching an agreement, Li Chenmo went to get a sack filled with fresh vegetables and fruits. He handed the sack and bamboo basket to Doctor Yu and said, “Inside this bamboo basket is the food prepared for Han Liling. These are vegetables and fruits. You can give me the things tomorrow.”

Doctor Yu accepted the bamboo basket and the sack and said with a smile, “Thank you, Brother Li! I will definitely come again tomorrow. I will take my leave now and see you tomorrow.”
