Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1456

Chapter 1456: Meeting ( 2 )

"The Li family risked their lives, spending a lot of time and energy to harvest those grains. Even if they had reported it, do you think anyone else would have been willing to go up there?" An Xuyuan asked.

His words silenced the room. After a pause, he continued, "I have discussed the seed matter with Comrade Li Chenmo, and he has agreed to provide them to us."

Everyone was taken aback. Given the ongoing food shortage, even with a surplus, few would willingly give away grains for free.

"Vice team leader, we don’t have any grain to exchange with him," one staff member said.

"I know. So I offered to exchange work points instead," An Xuyuan nodded.

Another staff member spoke up, his voice laced with concern, "But the Li and Lu families raise a lot of pigs. They are already earning many work points. If we give more to Li Chenmo for the seeds, won’t others complain?"

"So, are you suggesting we take the seeds for free?" An Xuyuan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I didn’t mean that," the staff member quickly said, shaking his head.

Looking around at the staff, An Xuyuan said firmly, "Everyone in the brigade knows that raising pigs earns you work points. But over the years, how many people have been willing to do it?"

"Now that the Li and Lu families are doing the hard work to help us get more meat, what’s wrong with rewarding them fairly? They have earned every work point with their own hands."

"Right now, we are the ones asking them for grain. Shouldn’t we compensate them for that? If you think others will object, then tell them to contribute their own grains. Let’s see how many would be willing."

Silence fell over the room after he finished his words. Everyone lowered their heads, no one daring to speak further.

An Xuyuan let the moment settle before continuing, "I hope you all understand the fact that it was us who asked the Li family for help, not the other way around."

"When we ask for help, we must show sincerity. I don’t want to hear another complaint about their work points. Is that clear?"

"Yes, Vice Team Leader," they replied in unison.

An Xuyuan nodded and said, "Aside from the rice seeds, I also want to inform everyone that Comrade Li Chenmo and his wife have found a way to improve composting."

"They currently have 300 sacks of compost and are willing to donate them to the production team to improve the soil’s condition. Comrade Han, please arrange for people to pick it up."

"Understood," Han Jinhe said as he jotted down a note.

"Vice team leader, what about the seeds? When should we collect them?" he asked.

Everyone was stunned by this information. They had expected maybe 500 kilograms at most, not 8,000 kilograms. That amount could feed a family for years. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
