Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 637

Chapter 637: Lower Price, Higher Quality
After parking the bicycle, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu walked over and greeted them, “Father, eldest brother, sister-in-law.”

“Eldest brother, we are here to invite Father and your family to lunch. Yesterday was Xiao Huang’s birthday, and we wanted to invite our family to celebrate with her today.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Hearing her words, Father Li remembered his previous conversation with Dong Li and nodded. This is a great way to get the children used to being part of the family faster. Both of you should pay more attention to the children’s feelings.”

“Third son, have you invited your wife’s family?” Father Li asked.

“Father, we just came back from my parents-in-law’s house.” Li Chenmo said.

“Good. Even if your wife becomes the daughter-in-law of our Li family, she is still their only daughter. So, you should let her go back to visit her parents more often,” Father Li reminded him.

“Father, my husband often goes with me to visit my parents,” Lu Jueyu said.

Seeing his third daughter-in-law truly like his third son, Father Li smiled. It’s great to see his sons have a harmonious family.

“Third sister-in-law, do you need me to help you cook later?” Zhang Dongmei asked.

“Eldest sister-in-law, thank you for your offer. However, there is no need to disturb you. I have enough time to prepare since we must wait until the children come back from school.” Lu Jueyu said.

“Okay. If you need help, let me know. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Li Chenmo sat down next to his father, and while helping him weave a bamboo basket, he asked, “Father, how are you doing lately? Are you still taking your medicine?”

When Father Li heard this, he nodded and said with a smile, “Your elder brother is watching over me. How can I not take medicine? With the addition of the nourishment sent by your wife, I feel very good and can walk for a long time now. Don’t worry.”

Nodding after listening to his words, Li Chenmo said in a low voice, “Father, I plan to sell the grain received after the distribution day.”

When Father Li heard this, he looked at his third son in surprise. Thinking of the way his third son’s family used to eat meat and rice, he thought that all the money had been used up and he wanted to earn some money by selling grains, so he asked worriedly, “Third son, if you sell the grain, what will your family eat until next year?”

Li Chenmo already knew that his father would react like this and explained, “Father, don’t worry. My friend has found someone who sells grains with better quality and lower prices. Recently, food shortages have occurred everywhere. As a result, food prices have increased several times.”

“My friends and I plan to sell our grains at higher prices and buy higher quality grains. Although we don’t make much money, we can eat better quality grains,” he added.

After hearing what he said, Father Li frowned and asked, “You said there is a food shortage everywhere. What if your friends can’t buy grain? I think it’s best not to take any risks and save our food.”

Knowing that his father was worried that they would encounter the situation of the previous great famine, Li Chenmo said, “Father, we have made a reservation with the grain seller. Now we just need to sell the grain we receive from the production team to the market and buy it from him.”

Without waiting for his father to speak, he added, “Father, you know that the quality of the food produced by our brigade is poor. They use human excrement as fertilizer, and because they do not process the fertilizer correctly, it can easily make people sick.”

After hearing his explanation, Father Li hesitated for a moment before he said, “But we have always eaten those grains, and no one has gotten sick so far.”

“Father, although no one is sick, it does not mean that eating these grains will not affect our health. Have you noticed that after we stopped drinking well water and switched to mountain spring water, our health is much better than before?” Lu Jueyu asked.

Father Li thought for a while and nodded, “When you say it, it is indeed the case.”

Lu Jueyu smiled at him and added, “That’s because well water is not good for the body. The same is true for grains. Although it doesn’t make us sick, it still affects our health. Therefore, it is best to change our consumption of grains.”

After listening to her words, Father Li was silent for a while and said, “Since it is not good for our health, we shouldn’t sell it to others at a high price.”

Li Chenmo knew that his father was an honest man, so he said, “Then we will sell it at the market price.”

After hearing what his third son said, Father Li finally nodded and said, “That’s good. You should also let your brothers and your in-laws know.”

“Father, don’t worry. There is enough food left for us, the Zhang family, and the Lu family.” Lu Jueyu assured him.

Zhang Dongmei heard their conversation and originally wanted them to help sell her parents’ food, but she felt embarrassed. She knew it wasn’t easy to get good quality grains at cheap prices. Therefore, when she heard that Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo had reserved food for her parents’ family, she felt extremely grateful.

“Third brother, third sister-in-law, thank you,” Zhang Dongmei said.

Looking at her, Lu Jueyu said with a smile, “Eldest sister-in-law, we are a family. There is no need to be so polite.”

After chatting for a while, Li Chenmo said, “Father, my wife and I still need to inform my second brother. Therefore, we cannot stay too long.”

“Okay, we will leave before noon. Be careful on the road,” Father Li said.

Before leaving, Lu Jueyu said, “Father, I will prepare your favorite wine.”

After hearing her words, Father Li’s eyes lit up and he said, “Good!”
