Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 890

Chapter 890: Earning Work Points
The reason for the decrease in pigweed is that some villagers collect pigweed for food due to lack of food and vegetables. Although it has certain toxins, humans can still eat the young one as long as it is cooked.

After filling the basket, Lu Jueyu carried the basket on her back, locked the doors and went to the production team office.

When she reached the central area, the villagers looked at her in shock and disbelief. This was the first time they saw Lu Jueyu carrying such a big bamboo basket.

Although she often picked pigweed before marrying Li Chenmo, she mostly used small bamboo baskets. Therefore, she could only earn a few work points by working with her nephews for a whole day.

Judging from the size of the bamboo basket, it is estimated to weigh more than thirty kilograms.

One of the middle-aged women asked curiously, “Jueyu, where are you going?”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu stopped, turned around and said, “Hello, Aunt Ma. I’m going to the production team’s office. I just came back from picking pigweed and want to change it for work points.”

When Aunt Ma heard this, she asked, “Can you do it? Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, or you will get sick.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said to her, “Aunt Ma, don’t worry. I’m used to it.”

After saying that, she said goodbye and left.

Aunt Ma looked at her brisk steps and said, “It seems that Jueyu is getting better. She was carrying that big bamboo basket and didn’t even break a sweat.”

After hearing this, her son wiped his sweat and said, “The basket may not be full yet.”

Aunt Ma thought what he said made sense, so she stopped thinking about it and continued working.

Although it is said that pigweed is counted based on the number of bamboo baskets, the production team still weighs the pigweed. If the weight is below average, they will reduce the work points. Therefore, there is no way for the villagers to cheat the work points.

Under the curious eyes of the villagers, Lu Jueyu came to the production team’s office. There is a small warehouse next to the office where the production team members weigh the pigweed collected by the children or women.

Since it was still early, there was no one but her. So, she doesn’t need to wait in line.

Seeing her coming with a big bamboo basket, Comrade Han, who was responsible for recording pigweed, came over to help her.

He stretched out his hand and said, “Sister-in-law, let me help you.”

Although she is no longer weak physically, Lu Jueyu is still tired carrying such a big basket. So, she did not refuse and said, “Thank you, comrade.”

Comrade Han thought that no matter how heavy the bamboo basket was, it would not exceed thirty kilograms. So, he was confident that he could lift the basket.

But the moment he took the bamboo basket, he almost fell because it was too heavy. After taking a few steps back, he finally regained his footing and put the bamboo basket down.

He looked into the bamboo basket and saw that the pigweed was tightly tied with dry vines and stuffed to the brim. Seeing this scene, he finally understood why the basket was so heavy.

Lu Jueyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, “Comrade, can you help me weigh the pigweed?”

After coming back to his senses, Comrade Han nodded and said, “Sister-in-law, please wait a moment.”

Taking a deep breath, he lifted the bamboo basket and placed it on the scale.

After a while, he finally said, “Sister-in-law, there are forty-eight kilograms. For every 10 kilograms, you will get 1 work point. Since you are only two kilograms short, I will round it up and give you five work points.”

When Lu Jueyu heard this, she smiled and said, “Thank you very much, Comrade.”

Although it was not much compared to the work points her husband received after delivering the pigs they raised, it was still half a day’s worth of work points.

While she waited for Comrade Han to move the pigweed, she looked around the warehouse. There was no pigweed at all, except for the small pile she had just handed over.

Ten minutes later, Comrade Han handed her the bamboo basket and said, “Sister-in-law, this is your basket.”

“Thank you,” Lu Jueyu said before leaving the warehouse.

As she walked home, she calculated how long it would take to collect a basket of hogweed and decided to wait until the afternoon to deliver two more baskets.

Later, she should switch to a bicycle. Once the cart is attached, it should have no problem carrying the heave baskets. This way, she doesn’t have to waste time walking and tired herself.

“It’s true that one shouldn’t think too much. Even if I didn’t ride a bike, people would be jealous of my family,” she muttered to herself.

When she got home, it was only ten o’clock in the morning. After locking the door, she went to her bedroom. Since there were still nearly two hours until lunch time, she went into her space to check on the situation.

She hadn’t had time to check what had happened since she last felt her father’s presence.

Appearing in the space, she opened the space panel and checked everything. Except for the improvement in quality and quantity of the plants, it is no different from usual.

She sat on the swing and frowned as she looked at the farmland. She clearly felt that her space was a little different from before. But after checking for so long, she still couldn’t find the difference.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly fell on the lake. She paid less attention to the lake than to the rest of her space. After all, the lake is only used as a source of water for irrigation.

With curiosity, she walked to the lake and stood by the lake.
