Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 548

"Then I will pack some for you. Please wait a moment," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

After saying that, she went to the kitchen to get the bamboo basket. When she came back, she filled the basket with a pound of edamame, a kilogram of eggplant, a kilogram of pole beans, a kilogram of lettuce, and a pound of cherry tomatoes.

As soon as the bamboo basket was covered with banana leaves and tied with hemp rope, Li Chenmo came back from the woodshed pushing his bicycle.

He parked his bicycle in front of them, picked up the bamboo basket, tied it on the back seat, and said, "Second brother, I don’t plan to go out today. So you can take your time and don’t be in a hurry to come back."

"Okay, thank you, third brother."

After tying the bamboo basket, Li Lingyun said goodbye and rode to the county seat.

An hour later, he finally arrived at the county town. Looking at the bright sky, Li Lingyun decided to visit his friend’s house instead of his office. After another twenty minutes, he finally arrived at the dormitory buildings built by the government for the government’s staff. He rode towards the guard post and parked his bicycle in front of the guard.

The guard saw him and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Ling, long time no see."

Li Lingyun smiled at the guard and said, "Brother Ji, long time no see."

The guard looked at the bamboo basket and asked, "Are you here to deliver food to your relatives again?"

Li Lingyun nodded and said, "Yes, the vegetables are ready to be harvested. So I want to give some to my brother and his family to try."

After hearing his words, the guard showed an envious expression and said, "It’s great to have a relative who knows how to farm. My wife has been wanting to eat some vegetables for a while, but it’s hard to buy vegetables now."

After saying that, he came closer and asked in a lowered voice, "Brother Ling, can you sell some vegetables to me when you come here next time? My wife is pregnant now, and she can only eat vegetables. When she eats anything else, she vomits so badly."

Hearing his words, Li Lingyun’s eyes widened with panic and fear was clear on his face. He looked around anxiously and whispered, "Brother Ji, personal transactions are illegal. If we are discovered, we may be shot to death or thrown to jail."

Seeing how scared he was, the guard sighed inwardly and said to himself, ’Brother Ling is good at everything, but he is too honest and too timid.’

The guard patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Ling, we don’t do private transactions. Vegetables are just gifts you gave me as a friend. As your friend, I can’t take your things without repaying you. So, I have to give you something in return."

Hearing this, Li Lingyun’s eyes showed understanding and hesitation, and he asked in a low voice, "Is it okay? In the end, this is just an excuse."
