Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 980

Chapter 980: A Deal ( 2 )
“The mushrooms weighed 27 kilograms in total and cost 810 yuan. The fish weighed 80 kilograms and cost 1,600 yuan. So, the total of the two was 2,410 yuan,” Houzi said after he calculated for a moment.

After saying that, he went into his room and came back with a wad of money. Chen Jianmin’s eyes almost fell off of his head when he saw the money. He only sold things to Houzi a few times and already accumulated nearly 5,000 yuan.

He took the money and said, “Thank you, Brother Houzi.”

Before Chen Jianmin took his left, Houzi asked, “Little brother, if possible, can you send fresh fish here every week?”

“How much do you want?” Chen Jianmin asked.

“At least 500 kilograms.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin frowned and said, “I can’t get that much at once. How about I send it every three days? But, it will be at most up to 150 kilograms. I can’t catch too much, otherwise, the fish will not be able to grow and reproduce.”

Houzi nodded and said, “Okay. No matter what kind of fish you catch, we will pay you 20 yuan per kilogram.”

Since the price was already very high, Chen Jianmin readily agreed and left Su Lide’s house.

As he was walking home, the villagers saw him carrying an empty basket and one of them asked, “Jianmin, where have you been?”

“Hello, auntie. I went to the foothills to pick mushrooms. Unfortunately, I didn’t get anything,” Chen Jianmin said with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, the villagers nodded and said nothing more.

“Well, a lot of people have already gone. You should wait a few more weeks before going,” the villager reminded him.

Chen Jianmin nodded and said with a smile, “Thank you for telling me, Auntie. It’s getting late, so I should go back.”

After he left, the villagers continued chatting and playing chess, unaware that he had a lot of money with him.

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo woke up before dawn. Since they were leaving tomorrow, they planned to go to the mountains to harvest the remaining grains today.

When Li Chenmo and Dong Li walked to the pig pen, Lu Jueyu heard a knock on the front door.

Lu Jueyu looked at the sky and saw only the soft red hue on the eastern horizon. The sun had not yet risen. Thinking of who came so early, she went to open the door and asked, “Who is it?”

Outside the door, Chen Jianmin and his brothers and sisters were waiting. When the door opened, they greeted Lu Jueyu with a smile, “Aunt Li, good morning.”

Seeing that it was the members of the Chen family, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Come in. Have you all eaten?”

The children walked into the front yard and said, “Aunt Li, we already ate at home.”

“Aunt Li, Ah Li asked me to come here with my brothers and sisters today. So, we came early to help you collect vegetables,” Chen Jianmin said.

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Okay, let’s work first. When your Uncle Li and Xiao Li come back from the pig pen, we will have breakfast together.”

Chen Jianmin did not refuse and said, “Okay.”

Since Chen Jianfang is too young to water vegetables, her task is to harvest vegetables with Dong Huang and Chen Jianyan. As for Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianguo, and Chen Jianbai, they were tasked to watered the vegetable garden and pulled weeds.

With the help of the children, they finished harvesting the vegetable garden and filled several large bamboo baskets with fresh vegetables and fruits in less than two hours. Since the children are all here, Lu Jueyu cannot put the harvest into her own space and can only put it in the backyard temporarily.

After finishing their work, the children went to the backyard with smiles on their faces to wash their faces, hands, and feet. It was their first time working together and they felt satisfied when they saw the fruits of their labor.

Not long after, Li Chenmo and Dong Li came back from the pig pen and saw the children helping Lu Jueyu wash vegetables.

Seeing them, the children greeted them in unison, “Uncle Li, Brother Li Dong, good morning.”

Li Chenmo nodded to them and went to wash off the dirt on his body. Dong Li walked up to them and asked, “When did you come?”

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Dong Li yesterday, Chen Jianyan felt closer to him and said, “Brother Dong Li, we come before dawn to help Aunt Li collect the vegetables.”

Seeing that she started to change herself, Dong Li felt that she was more pleasing to the eyes and said, “Thank you for your help, Xiao Yan.”

Chen Jianfang didn’t want to lose, so she raised her hand and said with a sweet voice, “Brother Dong Li, Fangfang also helped harvest vegetables.”

“Mn, Xiao Fang is great.” Dong Li nodded and praised.

After hearing their conversation, Lu Jueyu looked at them from the kitchen’s window and said, “Children, put the vegetables in the bamboo basket after washing them.”

“Okay!”

While the children were busy washing the vegetables, Li Chenmo went to the kitchen and helped his wife move the food to the living room.

Today, since the children of the Chen family joined, Lu Jueyu has cooked a large pot of meat porridge, a plate of omelets, a basket of tea eggs, a pot of sweet tofu pudding, a basket of fried dough sticks, and a pot of soy milk.

Sitting at the big round table, Lu Jueyu served a bowl of meat porridge for her husband and said, “Husband, eat more.”

Then, she looked at the children and said, “Everyone, eat whatever you want. Don’t be shy and eat more.”

The children nodded and said, “Thank you, Aunt Li!”

After breakfast, the children helped clear the table and wash the dishes, while Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu went to the woodshed to prepare the items needed for harvesting grain.
