Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1240

Zhang Ermu looked at his sister and asked, "Yulan, what is your relationship with him?"

Hearing his question, Zhang Yulan was confused. Scratching her head, she replied, "Brother, I don’t know him that well. It’s just a comrade relationship."

Zhang Ermu studied her expression but only saw genuine confusion. After a moment of silence, he said, "Tomorrow, I’m coming with you."

Zhang Yulan’s eyes lit up the moment she heard her brother’s words and asked, "Really? Brother, have you finished harvesting the corn?"

Zhang Ermu nodded and said, "I finished today."

"Great! Thank you, brother!"

After their brief conversation, the siblings worked together to clean the mushrooms and process the wheat. Since the wheat was still in its raw form, each sack could only hold a few kilograms of kernels once processed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ermu decided to bring some tools tomorrow to help thresh the kernels, so they could carry more back.

Meanwhile, An Xuyuan was on his way home when he saw a woman standing by the roadside, holding a bamboo basket. The moment he spotted her, his brows furrowed, and he continued walking without sparing her a glance.

Seeing he didn’t have any intention to talk to her, the woman took a step forward to block his way and greeted him with a smile, "Comrade An, what a coincidence."

An Xuyuan felt a wave of annoyance in his heart the moment she blocked him. He was exhausted and only wanted to get home and rest.

Standing two meters away from her, he looked at the woman and said, "Comrade, if you have nothing important to do, you shouldn’t be out when it’s already dark."

Hearing what she assumed was concern, the woman blushed slightly and replied, "Comrade An, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" he asked.

She extended her hand, revealing the bamboo basket and said, "I made too many pastries this afternoon. Can you help me finish them?"

An Xuyuan’s frown deepened at her words. He didn’t even glance at the basket as he replied, "Thank you, but I don’t like pastries."

Without another word, he walked past her.

The woman’s face fell in disappointment when she saw his indifferent attitude. But the next second, she saw him stop in his tracks, and her heart leaped with hope, thinking he might be waiting for her. Smiling, she quickly stepped forward.

However, before she could reach him, he turned around and said coldly, "Comrade, I’m very busy and I don’t have a plan to get married, so stop wasting your time on me."

As soon as he finished his words, he turned back and strode off.

The woman stood frozen on the spot, stunned by his words. She had been pursuing him ever since she arrived in the village. Pan Meijia, who came later, had already married Li Lingyun, yet she still couldn’t even get close to the man she liked.
