Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1386: Secret Meeting ( 1 )

Hearing her daughter's words, Lu Jueyu asked again, "Then, what does Xiao Huang think we should do?"

As if waiting for this moment, Dong Huang's eyes lit up as she asked, "Father, Mother, can Ah Lin live with us?"

Hearing her words, Li Chenmo said nothing, but Lu Jueyu shook her head.

She picked up a piece of meatball for her daughter and explained, "Xiao Huang, even if Ah Lin's stepmother and stepbrother come to the village and stay with him, he can't stay with us."

"Why not?" Dong Huang asked with a pout.

"Because that's his home, and he has his father and grandparents. If he stays with us, then who will take care of his grandparents?" Lu Jueyu asked.

"Then, let's bring Grandpa and Grandma Feng too," Dong Huang said. freёnovelkiss.com

"What about his father? It's been so many years since he last stayed with his father. If he stays with us, won't he lose time with his father?" Lu Jueyu said.

Dong Huang lowered her gaze and said, "But his father loves his stepbrother more."

"How do you know that his father doesn't love him?"

"If his father loved him, why didn't he come back for so many years? He clearly loves his new son more since he stayed with him for so many years," Dong Huang replied unhappily.

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu looked at her husband and gestured for him to say something.

Receiving his wife's signal, Li Chenmo put down his bowl and said, "Xiao Huang, you don't have to worry. Ah Lin's father won't bring back his new wife and son."

The moment she heard this, Dong Huang asked, "Father, how do you know?"

"Intuition," Li Chenmo replied casually.

After he said that, he added, "Stop thinking too much and eat your food."

Although Dong Huang was still worried, she trusted her father. Since her father said so, then it must be true.

After dinner, the children returned to their bedroom to study while Li Chenmo washed the dishes.

As for Lu Jueyu, she was reading a book in the bedroom while resting. Despite consuming spiritual herb powder, her body was still weaker than usual, and she was prone to dizziness if she became too tired.

When they were done cleaning up the table and kitchen, the two of them waited for Houzi in the backyard's living room. At nine o'clock, they heard a knock coming from the backyard's gate.

Li Chenmo opened the door and saw Houzi and Lu Han outside. He was taken aback when he saw Lu Han and said, "Brother-in-law, what brings you here so late at night?"

"I came to discuss a matter with you and my sister," Lu Han replied vaguely.

Hearing this, Li Chenmo understood the situation and said, "Please come inside."

After Houzi and Lu Han entered the yard, he locked the gate and led them to the living room. When Lu Jueyu saw them, she stood up and greeted them, "Eldest Brother, Brother Houzi, you are here."

Lu Han smiled at his sister and said, "Jueyu, how have you been lately?"

"Eldest Brother, I'm doing well. Please have a seat," Lu Jueyu replied.

After everyone took their seats, Houzi said, "Brother Li, Sister-in-law, tonight I came to discuss a pre-order from the capital."

Taking out a piece of paper from his pocket, he handed it to Li Chenmo and continued, "Brother Li, I'm sure you have heard about the situation in the capital. This is the order list from there."

Li Chenmo opened the paper and read the list, then passed it to his wife before asking, "Brother Houzi, have you discussed the price with them?"

Houzi shook his head and replied, "I gave them the price list, but they asked if it could be lowered. The budget given from the capital wasn't much, and many people are starving. They are in urgent need of grain."

After saying this, he looked at Lu Jueyu and waited for her opinion. He knew that even though the grain store in the black market was owned by Li Chenmo on the surface, the one who had the final say was his wife.

While others thought it was because he pampered his wife, only Houzi knew that the grains were owned by Lu Jueyu, and Li Chenmo was only helping her sell them and acting as her shield.

Unaware of their thoughts, Lu Jueyu was lost in contemplation.

She had no problem providing 100 tons of grain, as the supply in her space could support the entire country for more than a thousand years.

Even if they needed more, she could provide it with ease. The real problem lay in the pricing and whether the grain would truly reach the hands of the common people.

Seeing that his wife was frowning deeply, Li Chenmo asked, "Wife, what do you think about this matter?"

After thinking for a long time, Lu Jueyu finally looked at her husband and said, "Husband, I have no problem selling the grain to them and giving them a discount. But I don't know if these grains will actually reach the commoners or end up filling the bellies of certain privileged people.

"If it's only distributed to select individuals, then what use is the discount? The situation of the commoners won't change with or without it if the benefit goes only to those in power."

When Houzi heard her words, surprise flashed in his eyes. He never thought that Lu Jueyu would consider the situation of the commoners. For a businessman like him, profit was usually the most important factor.

'It seems this couple is far more righteous and generous than I thought,' Houzi thought inwardly.

Li Chenmo understood his wife's concerns, as he too shared the same thoughts. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Wife, I understand."

Lu Jueyu knew her husband understood her better than anyone and that he would find a way to resolve the issue. So, she nodded and said, "Husband, I will follow your decision."

Sitting across from them, Lu Han was pleased by their tacit understanding but also curious about what they planned to do.
