Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1268

Even though everyone laughed at Li Chenmo and his family, Li Shu believed that this so-called greenhouse might have real benefits. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be spending so much money and effort on building it.

She was also tempted to have one at her house, but her grandpa didn’t agree. For now, she could only wait and see if the Li family’s greenhouse produced good results—then she might have a chance to persuade him.

As she was lost in thought, a sudden loud slap startled her. Turning her head, she saw Song Yan grimacing in pain while covering his right cheek.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing?" she asked with confusion.

Hearing her question, Song Yan turned around and replied calmly, "Oh, there was a mosquito."

Looking at the bright red palm print on his cheek, Li Shu decided to say nothing. It seemed her senior brother was indeed dealing with a big problem.

’Is he being forced to marry by his parents?’ she wondered. Discover more content at freewebnovel

While she was thinking of countless possibilities for her senior brother’s strange behavior, Doctor Xie returned with a basket of dried herbs on his back.

Placing the bamboo basket on the balcony, he called out, "Xiao Shu, come and help Grandpa with these herbs."

Hearing her grandpa’s voice, Li Shu snapped out of her thoughts and quickly washed her hands. When she reached the front yard, she saw her grandpa grinning as he organized the herbs.

After learning from her grandpa for several years, her knowledge of medicinal herbs was above average. With just one look, she could tell that the quality of these dried herbs was far better than the ones they planted at home or foraged from the mountain.

Walking over, she sat on the balcony and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, why did you get so many herbs? These must have cost you a lot of money."

Hearing this, Doctor Xie smiled and said, "Well, Grandpa did pay a lot, but that was for buying ginseng. These herbs were given to me for free by your Aunt Li."

Li Shu was taken aback and asked, "Grandpa, did Aunt Li really sell her ginseng to you? I heard she needs it to make tonic wine."

"Child, as long as the price is high enough, she will sell her ginseng. But this ginseng is really good—it’s over 800 years old," Doctor Xie said, clearly in a good mood.

The moment Li Shu heard this, she looked at her grandpa and asked, "Grandpa, how much did you pay for that ginseng?" _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Knowing his granddaughter was worried about him spending all his savings, Doctor Xie reached out, gently patted her head, and replied, "Don’t worry, Grandpa still has plenty of money to take care of you. As long as you get better, this money will be well spent."

After a moment of silence, Li Shu said, "Grandpa, I’m fine now. You don’t have to—"

Before she could finish, Doctor Xie smiled and interrupted her, "Xiao Shu, you are my granddaughter. As your grandpa, it’s my responsibility to take care of you. After so many years, I finally found you. Now that I can give you the best, you should accept it. This is Grandpa’s right as your elder."
