Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1071

Bai Xue’er, quick to understand, realized Lu Jueyu had chosen her as the middleman. She nodded eagerly and added, "It’s better to take pre-orders. This way, the third sister-in-law knows what to prepare and avoids wasting materials." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

After reaching an agreement, Lu Jueyu asked for paper and a pen. Instead of listing the materials, she wrote down the items she planned to sell. Since these were for customers, she marked up the prices so Bai Xue’er could earn from the difference.

When everyone saw the list, they were shocked. It included not just whitening cream, night cream, and face masks, but also shampoo, liquid soap, bar soap, beauty powder, blush, lipstick, toner, and hair tonic.

Though some of them had heard of these items, they were rare and typically imported. The prices were often exorbitant.

Looking at the sky-high prices, most of them fell silent, except for the second aunt, who smiled brightly.

"Jueyu, are you sure about these prices?" she asked as if she had won a big prize.

Worried the prices were too high, Lu Jueyu asked, "Second aunt, are they too expensive? These are just the material costs."

The second aunt waved her hand dismissively and exclaimed, "Not at all! They are incredibly cheap."

"Second sister-in-law, you call 70 yuan for 350 ml of shampoo cheap?" the third aunt asked, sneering with disbelief.

"You think it’s expensive because you don’t know anything. A similar bottle of shampoo from France costs nearly 500 yuan," the second aunt retorted.

"How could it cost so much?" the fourth aunt exclaimed with shock.

"Do you think you can buy it just anywhere? Even with money, without connections, you can’t get it. Worse, you might end up with a fake product that damages your health and appearance."

"Now that Jueyu can make it, I can use these as gifts to build connections. Do you still think it’s expensive?" the second aunt asked.

Surprised by the second aunt’s directness, Lu Jueyu wasn’t sure what to say. Unexpectedly, the others nodded in agreement.

The third aunt chimed in, "Since the second sister-in-law says it’s cheap, it must be. Jueyu, I will take ten bottles of each and pay 150 yuan per bottle."

"This—" Lu Jueyu was stunned by the sudden increase in price. The third aunt suddenly increased the price by 80 yuan at once ah!

The second aunt didn’t want to lose out on the opportunity and quickly said, "Jueyu, I will pay more. Just sell them to me first! I can pay you 200 yuan, I want 20 bottles each!"

Fearing they would miss out, everyone started competing. Watching them bicker, Lu Jueyu could only sigh helplessly without interrupting them as they increased the price as if they were in an auction house.

After nearly an hour, the argument ended, and the prices had skyrocketed. Looking at the final amounts, Lu Jueyu didn’t know whether to thank them or laugh.

After they settled the matter regarding the beauty products, they spent the rest of their time chatting with each other.

Meanwhile, Li Lingyun and Li Chenmo were busy shopping for the children at a department store. Their extraordinary height and good looks drew considerable attention, particularly from women.

Carrying several shopping bags, they stood outside a women’s clothing store, hesitating to enter.

Glancing at his thick-skinned third brother, Li Lingyun said, "Third Brother, how about you go inside and buy the clothes while I wait here?"

Li Chenmo, already anticipating his second brother’s reluctance, rejected the suggestion without hesitation, "If you want me to do it alone, forget about it. You are the one who wants to buy it in the first place. I will just accompany you."

"Well, you have a wife, so you might know more about this matter," Li Lingyun argued.

Li Chenmo glanced at him and replied, "Even so, I only know my wife’s size. Your woman, your responsibility. I will only take care of my own."

Hearing this, Li Lingyun fell silent. Both men had been standing there for over ten minutes, still unable to decide. After a long pause, Li Lingyun finally said, "Then, let’s just forget about it."

As soon as he said this, he saw his third brother stride into the store, as though marching to face a formidable foe. Hesitating briefly, Li Lingyun clenched his fists and followed him with determination to win in his eyes.
