Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Precaution ( 2 )
After Lu Han and Lu Cheng took their seats, Han Yuheng asked, “Are you here to talk about your sister?”

“Yes. Team Leader Han, has our brother-in-law told you about this matter?” Lu Han asked as he placed the small bag of milk powder on the table.

Han Yuheng glanced at the milk powder, nodded and said, “They haven’t taken any action yet. So, I can’t do anything about this matter. But I will notify the officers to strengthen patrols around our area.”

When the Lu brothers heard this, they frowned. While they knew it was impossible to detain those people without evidence, they feared that if they waited until they did something, it would be too late.

Seeing their expressions, Han Yuheng said again, “Please rest assured. Due to previous cases, officers are already paying close attention to them.”

After considering the situation, Lu Han and Lu Cheng nodded. Seeing that they had finished talking, Father Li said, “Team Leader Han, besides this matter, we also want to ask permission to build a pigsty near the mountain behind my third son’s house.”

Hearing Father Li’s words, Han Yuheng looked at Li Chenmo and asked, “Brother Li wants to raise pigs?”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “My wife and I plan to raise four pigs in spring. I wonder if it is possible to get permission from the brigade?”

Han Yuheng was very happy when he heard that they were going to raise four pigs. Due to the difficulty and heavy workload of raising pigs, no villager is willing to raise pigs. Among the ten production teams in their brigade, their team is always ranked last, because they can only raise a maximum of three pigs per year. If Li Chenmo successfully raises four pigs, plus the three pigs raised by their production team, they can at least get third place this year. He might be able to get promoted.

While Han Yuheng was delighted, Lu Han and Lu Cheng frowned. As soon as spring comes, Li Chenmo will go to the fields to plow to earn work points. Then it is Lu Jueyu who is responsible for feeding the pigs and cleaning the pigsty. She was born weak, and with the previous fever, they worried that she could not handle the heavy workload and fell ill again.

Li Chenmo glanced at his brother-in-law’s face, and knew that they were unhappy. Since they didn’t ask, he didn’t bother to explain. After all, this is between him and his wife. And they, as her brothers, have no right to interfere with their affairs.

Not knowing what they were thinking, Han Yuheng patted his chest and said, “Leave this matter to me. I promise to get permission before tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Team Leader Han.” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

“Have you found someone to help you build a pigsty?” Han Yuheng asked.

“Currently, the educated youth who live with my father have expressed their willingness to help.”

“They are too weak. If you only ask them, it will take several days to build the pigsty. I will help you build the pigsty.” Han Yuheng said with a frown.

“We will also come to help.” Lu Cheng said.

“Then I will bother my brothers-in-law and Team Leader Han with this matter.” Li Chenmo nodded.

Father Li thought for a while and said, “Third son, since the team leader and your brothers-in-law are agreeing to help, let’s tell the educated youths that we have enough manpower.”

Generally speaking, only three or four people are needed to build a pigsty. Now that there are already six people including Father Li and Li Chenze, there is no need to ask the educated youth for help. Unexpectedly, Li Chenmo said, “The more people who come to help, the better, as we can finish it faster.”

From what he said, everyone understood that he wanted to help the educated youth. After all, they are newcomers and have no work points. They need to use their own money to buy ingredients. By letting them come to help build the pigsty, he can give them food. At least, they can save some money and have a meal.

As a result, Han Yuheng’s admiration for Li Chenmo increased several times. Everyone is having a hard time, but he is still so generous to share his food with others. More importantly, he didn’t flaunt his good deeds and did it in a low-key manner.

While others were admiring Li Chenmo’s generosity, Han Yuluo was looking at him with narrowed eyes. His eyes were full of jealousy and disagreement. Hearing Li Chenmo’s words, he couldn’t help but think of Lu Jueyu’s frail body. If it were him, he wouldn’t raise so many pigs. After all, in the end, it was Lu Jueyu who needed to do the work. What’s more, instead of giving food to strangers, it’s better to let her eat well. What a hypocrite!

As if sensing his gaze, Li Chenmo turned his head and saw Han Yuluo standing by the window looking at him. Seeing the jealousy and disagreement in those eyes, Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows provocatively. Han Yuluo clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, turned around and left.

Han Yuheng and the others didn’t notice their exchange as they were still discussing the pigsty. When they were talking about the design, Li Chenmo said, “I will draw the design of the pigsty, and we will build it according to the design drawing.”

Everyone agreed that the pigsties built in the army must be better than the ones they used. Therefore, when he said that he would draw the blueprints, no one objected. After the discussion, Li Chenmo, Lu Han and Lu Cheng went to Lu’s house, while Father Li went to find Li Chenze.

On the way back to Lu’s house, Lu Cheng finally couldn’t help asking, “Brother-in-law, are you really planning to raise four pigs? Won’t you be overwhelmed by work? You don’t plan to let Jueyu raise those pigs by herself, do you?”
