Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 877

Chapter 877: Profitable Business
“But our son is different. Our son is smart and handsome,” Wu Yahui said with a frown.

Chen Gang raised his eyebrows and asked her, “Do you think there are no other smart and handsome boys?”

“Feng Lin is also smart and good looking. He is also Dong Huang’s deskmate and he once saved her life. There is also no big age gap between him and Dong Huang. Compared with our son, he is a better and more appropriate choice,” Chen Gang explained.

After hearing her husband’s words, Wu Yahui remembered that Feng Lin’s shoulder bone was broken while protecting Dong Buang from being beaten by Gou Dan and his friends. The injury left his left arm half-disabled.

Although the disability is not too obvious in daily life, he cannot exert much strength in his left arm. He may experience pain from this injury on rainy and cold days for the rest of his life.

Based on his sacrifice alone, he is indeed the best candidate for Dong Huang’s future husband. As a result, Lu Jueyu had no reason to treat his son well.

Seeing that his wife finally understood this, Chen Gang added, “So, the only reason is because our son is Dong Li’s good friend. Lu Jueyu is very good to our son out of her maternal love for her adopted son. She loves the crows and loves the houses.”

“It indeed made sense,” Wu Yahui muttered in a low voice.

Now that his wife understood, Chen Gang stopped continuing the topic and said, “This time our son brought back so much fish, meat, vegetables, and food. We will dry the fish, smoke the hare, and pickle the vegetables.”

Looking at the fish swimming in the basin, Wu Yahui said, “Husband, let’s raise the fish first. This way we can eat fresh fish.”

“It’s too risky. Although we can fish, we can’t raise the fish. If someone reports it to the leader, we will be in trouble. It’s best to dry it and store it,” Chen Gang shook his head.

Although Wu Yahui felt it was a pity, she still agreed to her husband’s statement. Their village likes to inquire about other people’s family affairs, and it is difficult to keep the secret of raising fish.

“Then I will clean the fish tomorrow. We can have fish soup with mushrooms,” she said.

“Okay,” Chen Gang nodded.

While they were busy cleaning and organizing food, Li Chenmo came to the Lu family’s house.

After parking his bicycle by the well, he walked towards Father Lu’s house. Before he reached the door, he saw his wife walking out the house while carrying a bamboo basket.

Seeing her husband, Lu Jueyu was stunned and asked, “Husband, when did you come?”

“I just arrived. I’m here to pick you up,” Li Chenmo said as he reached out to take the bamboo basket from his wife’s hand.

“Then let’s go back now,” Lu Jueyu said.

Li Chenmo put the bamboo basket on the basket of the bicycle and left after his wife sat in the back seat. On their way back, they saw Houzi heading in the direction of their home.

Li Chenmo increased his pedaling speed and within a few minutes he caught up with Houzi.

“Brother Houzi,” Li Chenmo said.

Hearing his voice, Houzi stopped and turned around. Seeing them, he smiled and said, “Brother Li, sister-in-law.”

“Brother Houzi, where are you going so late?” Li Chenmo asked.

“Brother Li, I came to discuss something with you and my sister-in-law,” Houzi said.

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Then, let’s talk at my house.”

After they sat down in the living room, Li Chenmo poured a cup of warm tea for Houzi and asked, “Brother Houzi, what do you want to discuss with my wife and me?”

Houzi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, “Brother Li, sister-in-law, I believe you still remember the mayor’s wife. She ordered a lot of food for her husband’s birthday before.”

Thinking of the order, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “I remember it. Isn’t she a regular customer of yours?”

Houzi nodded and said, “Yes, after we closed the store due to circumstances, she contacted me and said she wanted to buy your goods. This is the pre-order list.”

Lu Jueyu was curious, took a look at the list, and said in surprise, “Brother Houzi, this is too much food. You should order it directly from the grain store.”

Hearing this, Houzi glanced at Li Chenmo and said, “This is also something I want to discuss with Brother Li.”

Li Chenmo took a sip of tea and said, “Brother Houzi, I have given you the contact information of the grain store’s manager. You should contact them directly. There will be no results in looking for me.”

After listening to his words, Houzi smiled and said, “Brother Li, you are too humble. I know you are the person behind the grain store. Since the grain store is closed, I have no other choice but to find you.”

“This business is very profitable. Due to food shortages, prices have increased by 35% compared to before. Are you sure you want to refuse this order?” he added.

Lu Jueyu’s eyes lit up when she heard the price. At the current price, she can earn almost half as much as before!

While she was excited, Li Chenmo was calm. He put the tea cup on the table and said, “Brother Houzi, you are mistaken. The price increased by 75% compared to before.”

Hearing this, Houzi let out a chuckle and said, “It seems that Brother Li is indeed well-informed. Since you know the price, I won’t say more. If you agree to this order, I will increase the price by 50%.”

Houzi thought that at this price, Li Chenmo would agree. But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that he was still drinking tea leisurely and showed no sign of agreement.
