Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 795

Chapter 795: Little Helper
In Xie Village, Doctor Xie was busy cleaning the house before he went to the room next to his bedroom. This room was used to store miscellaneous items and was full of dust. Standing at the door and looking at the thick dust, he sighed.

Thinking about his old bones, he might as well ask someone to clean the room. He can pay that person later.

With this in mind, Doctor Xie locked the door and left the house. Just when he was thinking about who to hire, he saw Liu Fuyan walking towards the river carrying a bamboo basket.

He has lived in this village for several years and knows most of the children. Among the children, Liu Fuyan is more mature and has a good personality. She is very hard-working and very good at housework.

After coming to this conclusion, Doctor Xie’s eyes lit up and he strode towards Liu Fuyan, “Little girl, wait a moment.”

Hearing his words, Liu Fuyan stopped and turned around. Seeing that it was Doctor Xie, she nodded to him and said hello, “Doctor Xie, are you looking for me?”

Seeing her taciturn character, Doctor Xie was very satisfied. He dislikes noisy children and prefers people who work more than talk.

“Little girl, are you willing to work for me?” he asked directly.

“What do you want me to do?” Liu Fuyan asked him back.

“I need someone to help me clean my room. If you are willing to help me, I will give you a yuan when you are done.”

One yuan is a lot of money for a child, but thinking about how tiring it is to clean the room, Liu Fuyan said, “Two Yuan.”

Doctor Xie was surprised. This little girl had such a big appetite. But thinking of the thick dust, he finally agreed, “Okay. Come with me.”

Liu Fuyan planned to catch some fish. But now that she had a chance to make some money, she decided to go fishing another day. After all, the fish won’t run away, but if it passes this chance, she may not have another chance.

After a while, she arrived at Doctor Xie’s house, and he took her to see the room. Although the room is small, the dust is thick and the room is very messy. It might take her several days to clean this room.

“It’s dirty and messy. It might take me two or three days to clean it up,” Liu Fuyan said.

“I need you to clean it today. My granddaughter will be back tomorrow,” Doctor Xie said.

Hearing this, Liu Fuyan looked at him and said, “Doctor Xie, it can’t be done in half a day. I still need to go back in the afternoon to cook dinner in four hours.”

“Three yuan,” Doctor Xie increased the price.

“No, that’s impossible. You’d better find someone else,” Liu Fuyan refused without hesitation.

Doctor Xie gritted his teeth and said heartbrokenly, “Four yuan!”

Liu Fuyan looked at his expression, shook her head, turned and left.

“Five yuan! I can’t give you more,” Doctor Xie said when he saw her leaving.

Liu Fuyan stopped as soon as she heard the price. She turned around and sighed helplessly, “Okay.”

Now that the price was agreed upon, she didn’t waste any more time and started cleaning the room. She took everything out and put it in the front yard and dusted it with a broom. Then she wiped the Kang bed and furniture with a wet cloth.

She used several basins of water before she finally wiped everything clean. She then opened the windows to get rid of the musty smell and went to clean up the items in the front yard. These things were used by Doctor Xie to process dry herbs, so she put everything in the woodshed.

She worked tirelessly for hours without stopping. As the sun set, she finally finished. Looking at the clean room, she wiped her sweat and sighed with satisfaction.

She walked to the backyard and said, “Doctor Xie, I have finished cleaning the room.”

After hearing this, Doctor Xie went to check the room and made sure it was clean before paying her. After leaving his house, Liu Fuyan went home happily.

When she opened the door, she heard her mother’s voice coming from the backyard, “I wonder where that lazy girl went? It’s already dark and she hasn’t come back yet. Look how I beat her when she comes back!”

Liu Fuyan sighed when she heard her mother’s scolding. Although everyone says her mother is not good, she still loves her mother.

Because she knows that her mother still cares about her and has become like this because her maternal grandparents’ education was wrong. Her mother was a victim of her grandparents’ patriarchal beliefs. Just like now, even if her mother scolds her, she can hear the worry in her mother’s tone.

She took the money out of her pocket, put four yuan into her shoe, and then put another yuan back into her pocket. She would give one yuan to her mother and the rest to her father. No matter what, her father still needed money to buy food when he went out to work.

She patted the money in her pocket and walked to the backyard as if nothing had happened. When Shi Qiwan saw her coming back, she rushed over and slapped her daughter on the arm.

“You lazy girl, where have you been? Don’t you know how to get back before dark?” she asked angrily.

Liu Fuyan was beaten by her mother, but she didn’t feel any pain because the slap was loud but not painful at all.

She took out the money from her pocket and said, “I went to help Doctor Xie clean up the house. This is the money he gave me for helping him.”

Seeing the money, Shi Qiwan instantly forgot her anger. She grabbed the money and said, “You should have told me before you went to help him. Now that you are back, go eat. Everyone has already finished eating.”

“Okay.”
