Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 899

Chapter 899: Father And Son’s Conversation
When they arrived home, they unloaded the grain and stored it in underground warehouses.

After Li Chenmo locked the warehouse, he said, “Wife, I gave half of the food to the orphans and the elderly without asking you. Are you angry with me?”

“Husband, why should I be angry with you?” Lu Jueyu asked doubtfully.

“Well, don’t you want the grains?” he asked again.

“That’s because it’s better to get grain than money. A kilogram of grain sells for 3 yuan in state-owned stores. But we can get a kilogram with 1.5 yuan worth of work points. Based on this comparison, of course we should get the grain,” she explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “I thought you wanted grain.”

“Husband, we have too much food and we can’t finish it in a lifetime. Why should I be greedy for this amount of grains?” Lu Jueyu asked with a smile.

Li Chenmo nodded and explained, “I decided to donate this food to help others and at the same time to give us cover. When we have a reputation as compassionate comrades, those who try to report us for personal transactions need to think twice.”

“We don’t even care about more than 700 kilograms of food, so it’s impossible for us to be greedy for small amounts of money. Even if someone spread a rumor that we sell food on the black market, no one would believe it,” he added.

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu’s eyes widened with realization as she said, “Husband, you are really smart.”

“Since your husband has done well, shouldn’t you give him a reward?” he leaned closer and asked.

Lu Jueyu looked around to make sure the children didn’t see them, then grabbed her husband’s collar and kissed him.

Li Chenmo likes his wife to take the initiative very much. He bent down, lowered his head, and deepened the kiss.

The two were enjoying an intimate moment, but Dong Li was feeling troubled while he covered Dong Huang’s eyes as the two stood behind the wall.

He didn’t expect that when he came over to ask his father what to do with the food in the cart, he would see his parents kissing. They are really much more open-minded than others ah!

Dong Huang heard her brother sigh, took his hand and asked, “Brother, why are you covering my eyes?”

“You are not allowed to look at anything,” Dong Li said.

“What’s the matter, brother? Is it something scary?” Dong Huang asked curiously.

Dong Li thought for a while and said, “You will definitely have nightmares if you see what happened.”

Dong Huang was shocked when she heard her brother’s words and said, “Brother, what should we do?”

“Close your eyes and follow me,” Dong Li said as he led his sister to the front yard.

Ten minutes later, Dong Li finally saw his adoptive father walking from the backyard.

He walked to his father and asked, “Father, what should I do with the remaining food?”

Li Chenmo tasted his wife’s sweet lips and was in a good mood when he said, “We will give it to your Uncle Zhang since our family borrowed his bullock cart for a day.”

When Dong Li heard this, his eyes widened in surprise and he said, “Father, that’s three hundred kilograms of grain. Did you really plan to give it all to Uncle Zhang?”

Li Chenmo knew that his son was unwilling, so he asked him, “Xiao Li, are you reluctant to give your Uncle Zhang this food?”

Dong Li nodded and asked, “Father, we have worked hard for this food. Why should we give it to others?”

Li Chenmo looked at him and explained, “Xiao Li, our family has more than enough food to eat until next year’s grain distribution. Even without these grains, we can still be full.”

“But for your Uncle Zhang’s family, they can’t survive without this food. There are old people and children in the family who need to eat, but he is the only one who can work and get work points.”

Dong Li frowned after hearing his father’s words. Still, he didn’t understand why he should share his food.

Li Chenmo squatted down, held his son’s shoulders, looked into his eyes, and said, “The difference lies in the importance of these grains. Dong Li, I don’t ask you to be a foolish good person, but you must know how to be grateful and repay kindness.”

“Your Uncle Zhang often lends his bullock cart to our family. Every time we want to go to town, it takes a lot of time to pick us up and drop us off.”

“Although we gave him something to thank him, the favor remained. He didn’t have to help us, but he did anyway. With his help, we saved ourselves a lot of trouble.”

“This was his kindness, and we must remember it. Now that we have the ability to help him, shouldn’t we repay his kindness?” he asked.

Li Chenmo saw that Dong Li was still frowning and asked, “Xiao Li, if one day your mother or I encounter difficulties, will you help us?”

“I will!” Dong Li said without hesitation.

Li Chenmo nodded and asked, “Why?”

“Because Mother and Father helped me and Xiao Huang when no one was willing to help us. Without you two, we might have starved to death long ago,” Dong Li said firmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened in realization.

Seeing this, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Helping others is equivalent to helping yourself. Don’t completely cut off other people’s paths, and help those who are worthy. One day, you may need their help. How you help others today may save you in the future. This is saving yourself.”

“You give me a Chi and I will give you a Zhang. We should give back more respect and kindness than we receive. Do you understand?” he asked.

Dong Li is very smart, and he understands after listening to his father’s words. He nodded and said, “Father, I will remember your teachings.”
