Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1238

An Xuyuan looked at the girl and explained, "The area around the ditch is full of mud and rotten leaves. If you are not careful, you might slip and fall in. Judging by the dry areas, the ditch is about two meters deep."

"We don’t know what’s beneath the layer of mud. What if you get bitten by a poisonous snake or some venomous insect?" he added.

Hearing this, Zhang Yulan realized he had a point and nodded, "I understand. I will stay away from the ditch."

Seeing that she was sensible, An Xuyuan was satisfied. He nodded and said, "Good. Now, we should head back. We will return tomorrow to harvest the honey."

Zhang Yulan looked at the beehive longingly for a moment before saying, "Okay."

After marking the area, the two of them left and continued walking back.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yulan suddenly pulled An Xuyuan’s hand and said, "comrade An, look over there!"

Feeling her small hand squeezing his palm, An Xuyuan turned and followed her gaze. The moment his eyes landed on the vast expanse of wheat, he was stunned.

"We are lucky! We actually found a wheat field!" Zhang Yulan exclaimed with delight.

Hearing her excitement, An Xuyuan snapped back to his senses and nodded. The two of them hurried toward the field.

When they stepped into the open field, they were surprised to find that not only wheat grew in this area, but also various mushrooms, wild berries, fruit trees, and even tall plants with purple flowers.

Standing in place, they gazed at the vast expanse of golden wheat with wide eyes. The next moment, Zhang Yulan let go of the man’s hand and rushed over to check the wheat.

Following her, An Xuyuan examined the wheat kernels. As he pinched some between his fingers, his eyes widened in disbelief—not because the wheat quality was bad, but because it was too good.

Compared to the previous seeds sent from the capital, which were already deemed high-quality, these wheat kernels were far superior. If they could use these as seeds, next year’s harvest would be much more abundant than this year’s.

As this thought crossed his mind, he turned to look at the girl running happily through the field with a complicated gaze.

By right, these grains, fruits, and mushrooms should be divided equally between them since they had discovered the field together. However, if he informed his men and brought them to harvest the wheat, it would be impossible for him to give half of it to her.

While the brigade or production team had no right to take her share, the villagers would definitely complain out of jealousy. And given her family’s background, they might cause trouble for her or her family.

With so many thoughts spinning in his head, An Xuyuan stood in a daze while staring at the wheat kernels in his hand.
