Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1197

Zhang Ermu had asked Bajie about the possibility of a blind date with Zhang Yulan, but while Bajie hadn’t outright refused, he had made it clear he wasn’t interested.

Zhang Ermu had been annoyed at first when he refused his sister. But after some thought, he realized it was for the best. Bajie was ambitious and bold—traits that made him a good businessman but an unreliable husband.

Such a man might bring a lot of wealth but would likely neglect his family. For someone like Zhang Yulan who grew up under other’s bullying and scrutiny, a dependable partner was far more important than riches.

Still, the thought of telling his sister about Bajie’s lack of interest gave him a headache. Perhaps his Ah Piao could help him figure out how to handle this delicate situation.

After he reached this conclusion, he focused on the work at hand. He tied up the roe deer and reset the trap. Using a shoulder pole to carry the animal, he continued to his final trap.

This last trap was larger and deeper, designed for bigger prey. As he approached, he noticed the bait was gone. Feeling curious, he peered into the hole and froze in shock—a bear was lying inside.

Putting down his basket and shoulder pole, he grabbed a stick and poked the bear cautiously. After a few prods, he realized it wasn’t moving. Relief flooded him as he concluded the bear was dead.

Securing himself with a hemp rope tied to a nearby tree, he climbed into the hole to inspect the situation. Initially, he thought the bear had fallen and broken its neck, but the strong smell of fresh blood made him frown.

Using the stick, he moved the bear’s body slightly and discovered the source of the blood.

There was a wild boar beneath the bear. Its sharp tusks had pierced the bear’s stomach and killed it. While at the same time, the boar itself seemed to have been crushed under the bear’s weight and died.

After examining the small wounds on the bear and wild boar’s body, Zhang Ermu deduced that the two animals had fallen into the trap during a fight. The wild boar must have been fleeing when the bear chased it, leading both to tumble into the pit.

This was truly a case of ’the fisherman reaping the benefits while the fish and shrimp fought.’ The bear alone was worth a fortune—its paws could sell for thousands of yuan, not to mention the value of its fur and meat. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

By selling the bear and the roe deer, he no longer has to worry about not having enough money to marry a wife. The only problem was how to transport such a large haul back home by himself.

After thinking for a while, he decided to ask Li Chenze for help cleaning up the wild boar and bear before he brought them back. As for the roe deer and pheasants, he would bring them back himself.
