Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Snapping out of her thoughts, Bai Xue'er shook her head and replied, "No, the price is fine."

She then counted the money and paid it in full.

After confirming the amount, Luo Zhenhe said, "Sister-in-law, if you need more grain in the future, just let my man know. We will prepare it for you."

"Thank you, Comrade Luo," Bai Xue'er said with a smile.

Luo Zhenhe chuckled and replied, "I heard your family is connected to my friend's in-laws, so I guess we can call ourselves friends too. No need to be so formal, we are just doing fair business."

Once the transaction was done, one of his men escorted them out. When they exited the small house, those waiting outside saw that they left empty-handed and no longer felt dissatisfied.

As long as they hadn't skipped the line and bought out all the grain, no one cared what they were doing.

After leaving the black market, Pan Chiyan returned home with his wife. When the sun rose, they had breakfast with their son, and he went to work as usual.

At the same time, at Xie Village, Wei Zhiying and her family had just finished moving their belongings into the new house.

The house was located near Li Lingyun's home, which made it convenient for them to fetch water from the river and gather firewood and wild vegetables from the mountain foothills.

At first, both Chen Mingze and Chen Yuze felt downcast about moving out of Chen Gang's house. But when they realized their new home was close to Dong Li and Dong Huang's, the two quickly regained their spirits.

At this moment, Chen Gang and his family were busy helping the Wei family clean up the house. By the time they finished, it was already close to seven o'clock.

Just as they were about to cook a simple breakfast, a knock came from the gate. Feeling curious, Wei Zhiying went to open it.

Seeing a beautiful young woman arriving with Dong Li and Dong Huang, she was momentarily stunned. She looked at her and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Before Lu Jueyu could respond, Dong Huang quickly spoke up. "Good morning, Aunt Wei. This is my mother, and we came to help you clean the house."

Hearing this, Wei Zhiying was surprised and said, "So, you are Xiao Huang's mother."

Stepping aside, she gestured for them to enter while saying, "Sister-in-law, please come in."

Lu Jueyu entered the yard and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for coming without notice. My children mentioned their friends were moving nearby, so I thought I would come with them to see if you needed any help."

"Thank you for your kind intention, sister-in-law. But we have finished cleaning up the house," Wei Zhiying replied with a smile.

As they walked into the house, Lu Jueyu handed over a bamboo basket and said, "Sister-in-law, my name is Lu Jueyu. These are some eggs from our hens and fresh vegetables from our garden. Please accept them."

Since the other party had put it so kindly, Wei Zhiying didn't refuse the gesture and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite."

When they entered the living room, they saw that the Chen family was already there. Seeing them, Wu Yahui greeted them with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you are here."

Lu Jueyu returned the smile and said, "I didn't expect so many people here."

After taking their seats, Wei Zhiying poured them some sugar water and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, we only have water at the moment. I hope you don't mind."

"Sister-in-law, water is enough," Lu Jueyu replied, taking a sip.

Seeing that she didn't look down on their simple hospitality, Wei Zhiying quietly sighed in relief and sat down.

Dong Li put down the bamboo basket on his back, then took out two three-tiered bamboo containers and placed them on the table.

Afterward, he placed two oil-paper packages on the table and said, "Aunt Wei, everyone must be hungry and hasn't had breakfast yet, so we brought some food."

The Wei family felt a bit embarrassed to accept the food, but the Chen family was casual about it. Before they could respond, Chen Jianmin was already opening the containers and taking out the dishes.

There were two large bowls of vegetable porridge, two bowls of tofu pudding with gravy, and two baskets of youtiao.

After unpacking the dishes, he opened the oil-paper packages to reveal warm scallion pancakes and Roujiamo.

Seeing this, Wei Zhiying said, "Sister-in-law, this—"

Lu Jueyu smiled and explained, "Jianmin came early to borrow the bicycle, so I guessed that everyone might not have eaten yet. We just made extra and brought it over."

She finished her sugar water, stood up, and said, "Since sister-in-law still has things to do, we won't take up more of your time. We will visit again another day."

With that, she left with her children. Before they left, Dong Li looked at his friend and asked, "Jianmin, are you still coming? My cousins and I are just waiting for you."

Chen Jianmin nodded and replied, "We are almost done here. I will come after breakfast."

"Okay."

Once only the Chen and Wei families were left, Chen Jianmin turned to his brother and said, "Mingze, Jianguo, go get the utensils. I still need to go to the mountain later, so let's eat first."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mingze and Chen Jianguo quickly went to the kitchen to retrieve bowls, chopsticks, and spoons. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

When Father Wei and Mother Wei saw how obedient their grandson was to Chen Jianmin, they looked at him with complicated expressions.

Chen Jianmin ignored their gazes and spread the breakfast out on the table. Once the boys returned, he served porridge to the elders first, then gave the rest to the younger children.

As for himself and the older boys, they ate tofu pudding, youtiao, and scallion pancakes, leaving the Roujiamo for the elders and younger siblings.

Seeing this, Father Wei and Mother Wei's impression of Chen Jianmin changed drastically.
