Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 872

Chapter 872: Childish Bickering
After Chen Jianmin was done eating, he poured himself a glass of warm water. He liked to drink their water, it was sweeter and better tasting than the water at home.

After drinking, he filled the bamboo bottle with warm water and then left the kitchen with the dishes. As soon as he came out, he saw Li Chenmo already helping his wife wash the vats.

Seeing him coming out, Li Chenmo said, “We will go in a moment.”

Chen Jianmin nodded after listening to his words. He washed the dishes first, then helped them to clean up the vats and moved the washed fruits and vegetables to the backyard. After everything was taken care of, they finally headed up the mountain.

Seeing them leaving, Dong Huang looked at her busy mother and asked, “Mother, when can I go to the mountains with my father and brother?”

Lu Jueyu patted her head and said, “Xiao Huang is still too young. When you grow to be as tall as your brother, you can go to the mountains.”

When Dong Huang heard this, her eyes lit up. She nodded and said, “Xiao Huang understands, Mother. Xiao Huang will grow taller. Taller than my brother!”

Lu Jueyu smiled at her and did not remind her that when she grew taller, her brother would also grow taller. From this point of view, whether she can go up the mountain in this life is still a question.

‘Ah, the little girl is so cute!’ she thought with a smile.

At the same time, Li Chenmo, Dong Li, and Chen Jianmin had arrived in the bamboo forest.

When walking through this area, Chen Jianmin took a look at the mushrooms growing densely in this area.

Seeing this, Li Chenmo said, “If you want to pick those mushrooms, come here tomorrow. The mushrooms here grow very fast, and picking them every day is not a problem.”

Chen Jianmin heard this and asked, “There are mushrooms growing here, why is no one coming to pick them?”

“This place is very close to my home, but far away from the village. If you don’t take the bamboo bridge, it will take almost two hours to reach the bamboo forest. What’s more, the road on the other side of the bamboo forest is steep and slippery. It is very dangerous,” Dong Li explained.

“So, if you want to pick mushrooms in this area, come here through my backyard. The area is relatively safe and my father and uncles have built a simple road to reach the bamboo forest where you can pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots,” he added.

Li Chenmo had a slight smile on his face when he heard Dong Li call him father instead of adoptive father. It is not easy for Dong Li to open his heart. So, it was a joyous thing to hear the word father come out of his mouth.

Patting his son on the shoulder, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Yes, you can come to our house anytime. Xiao Li also learned to make traps and put them on the mountain. You can learn from him.”

Chen Jianmin nodded to them and said, “Then I won’t be polite. Thank you, Uncle Li, Ah Li.”

While walking up the mountain, Chen Jianmin took note of many places where he could collect mushrooms, wild vegetables, wild fruits, and good firewood.

Since the route they took was from Li Chenmo’s backyard, the foothills were remote and no one came here except Li Chenmo’s family. Looking at the ripe fruits on the bushes and trees, Chen Jianmin couldn’t help but think about how to make some money on the black market.

He was convinced that he could make some money by selling these fruits and vegetables on the black market. After all, if there is no good harvest, even wild vegetables can be sold in the black market for some money.

When he learned about Li Shu’s physical condition, he knew that she needed a lot of money to buy medicine and nourish her body. Since she was his little bride, he had to find a way to make money to support her.

Dong Li didn’t know what his friend was thinking. He pointed to an old tree and said, “Father, that tree seems to have a honeycomb.”

Li Chenmo looked at the tree and found bees flying around. He nodded and said, “There should be a honeycomb inside. We will come back after collecting vegetables and grains. Otherwise, the smell of honey will attract wild animals.”

“Okay.”

Dong Li and Chen Jianmin were very excited. Every time they come to the foothills themselves, they rarely encounter good stuff. But every time they came with Li Chenmo, they found wild honey, rare medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum, and even wild ginseng.

Chen Jianmin nudged Dong Li’s arm and whispered, “Ah Li, your father’s luck seems to be really good. I have decided to follow your family from now on. Although I can’t eat meat, I can still drink soup if I follow your family!”

Hearing what his friend said, Dong Li rolled his eyes and said, “You indeed have a wonderful idea in your small head. You should ask my father if he is willing to accept you first.”

“Do you still think your father won’t accept me? Haven’t you seen how much your mother dotes on me? This morning, I got two tubes of bamboo rice!” Chen Jianmin said proudly.

“Well, I ate three,” Dong Li said lightly.

“I have a pot of soup dumplings and two tea eggs,” Chen Jianmin added.

“Well, I ate three tea eggs, a pot of soup dumplings, and two steamed buns,” Dong Li said calmly.

Hearing his words, Chen Jianmin looked at him heartbroken and asked, “Ah Li, do you have to do this? Can’t you let me have a beautiful dream? You are too cruel!”

Dong Li pushed his friend’s face away, rolled his eyes at him, and said, “If you are sick, go take medicine. Don’t come out and disgust people.”
