Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 730

Chapter 730: Lucky or Unlucky? ( 1 )
Lu Jueyu and Zhang Dongmei looked at each other, their eyes full of meaning.

Zhang Dongmei thought that even if she couldn’t sell these snacks on the black market, she could still take them to acquaintances in state-owned supply stores or factories.

With her third sister-in-law’s recipe, she is confident that as long as the price is slightly lowered, a lot of people will buy her snacks. The problem is the ingredients.

Lu Jueyu observed her sister-in-law’s expression and said, “Eldest sister-in-law, are you worried about the ingredients?”

Zhang Dongmei nodded and said, “You know we are short of food now. Even if this business is profitable, raw materials are not easy to buy. After all, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.”

“Eldest sister-in-law, I still have lots of food from last year. My husband told me that we must eat it or it will become moldy next year. Since we can’t consume everything, what about you using my ingredients?” Lu Jue Yu suggested.

After hearing her words, Zhang Dongmei did not refuse, but thought about it.

After a while, she said, “Third sister-in-law, since I’m using the ingredients to do business, how about I buy ingredients from you?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Okay. Eldest sister-in-law, just give me the same price as last year.”

“That won’t work. The current price is nearly ten times higher than last year,” Zhang Dongmei shook her head.

“Eldest sister-in-law, if the food is not eaten, it will spoil and be wasted. So, you are actually helping me. How can I ask you to pay such a high price?” Lu Jueyu explained.

Now that she said that, Zhang Dongmei could only smile and say, “Thank you, third sister-in-law.”

At the same time, in the mountains, Li Chenze and Han Yuheng were picking some mushrooms.

After picking the mature mushrooms, Li Chenze said, “Team leader, if we walk for another twenty minutes, we will reach the place where the wheat grows.”

Han Yuheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said while gasping for breaths, “Brother Chenze, just call me by my name.”

Li Chenze nodded and said, “Brother Yuheng, you can mark this area. In five days, the mushrooms will mature and new mushrooms will grow. So, you can keep gathering it once every five days.”

Looking at the surrounding environment that was so similar to the previous place, Han Yuheng asked, “Brother Chenze, you didn’t mark this place. How do you remember the path to this place?”

Hearing his words, Li Chenze smiled and said, “I can easily remember the road since I was young. Others may need several times to remember the mountain road but I only need to walk once to remember the road.”

Han Yuheng has long known that the Li brothers are different from others. Each of them has their own strengths that make them stand out from the crowd. When he was young, people liked to compare him with Li Chenze because they were similar in age.

Before he married his wife, he was even jealous of him because of rumors that Bai Luyun had feelings for Li Chenze. But after getting married, he realized that the person she had always liked was him. Therefore, he is no longer jealous of the Li brothers.

After all, no matter how good the Li brothers are, they are cold and ruthless toward others, which makes their relationship with the villagers awkward. Although he has many imperfections, his social skills are very good, which is why he was able to get this position as the production team’s leader.

Since regaining control of his emotions and behavior, he has figured out a lot of things. Those negative emotions no longer interfere with his judgment and decisions. Looking back now, if he had made different choices, his family might have been able to live as happily as the Li family.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Li Chenze said, “Brother Yuheng, after you finish gathering the mushrooms, let’s move to another place.”

After hearing his words, Han Yuheng came back to his senses. He nodded and said, “Brother Chenze, I’m done. Let’s go.”

As they walked deeper, Han Yuheng felt a chill on his back, as if something was targeting him. Turning around, he looked at his surroundings carefully but saw nothing.

Walking in front of him, Li Chenze also noticed the change in the atmosphere and said, “Brother Yuheng, climb the tree. Hurry!”

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of something trampling the branches and leaves. Han Yuheng quickly climbed up the nearest tree without any hesitation, while Li Chenze picked up a dry vine and climbed up another tree.

Not long after they reached the top of the tree, they saw a huge wild boar rushing out from behind the bushes. Judging from its size, the wild boar may have weighed about 80 to 100 kilograms.

When the wild boar rushed towards the tree where Li Chenze was, it let out a loud growl and aimed its tusks at the tree trunk.

When Han Yuheng saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror. Wild boars are one of the reasons the mountains are off-limits for the villagers. Nine out of ten people attacked by a wild boar will die on the spot, and the last one will die due to blood loss or end up with disability.

“Groowll!”

DUAGH!

The next second, the big tree swayed as the wild boar bumped into the tree. On the top of the tree, Li Chenze’s back and forehead were covered with cold sweat.

Today may be his unlucky day. Not long after entering the mountain, he encountered a wild boar. He used to go into the mountains with his third brother and never encountered a wild boar.

Seeing the wild boar keep hitting the tree, Li Chenze knew what he needed to do. Whether he drives it away or kills it. Otherwise, he might die here.
