Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1231

Comrade Han nodded in agreement when he heard An Xuyuan’s words. He also believed those caught in the act should have been punished, at least sent to the police station for re-education.

Unfortunately, the team leader didn’t want to make a big deal out of it and risk making their production team a laughingstock. In the end, they had covered it up and tried to resolve it quietly.

But could the betrayed spouses really let the third parties go so easily?

The only solution had been forcing the men or women to divorce their spouses and marry the educated youth. But wasn’t that just rewarding the guilty and breaking up families?

At the end of the day, the issue was the team leader’s weak personality. He wasn’t fit for leadership. If An Xuyuan were in charge, these situations wouldn’t have happened.

As they walked in silence, Liu Fuyan suddenly asked, "Uncle, did my mother and I get you in trouble?"

An Xuyuan looked at her and replied, "No."

After a moment, he turned to Shi Qiwan and asked, "Comrade Shi, would you be willing to live in the house next to Li Sang’s?"

Shi Qiwan had already grasped what the vice team leader was thinking from their conversation. She also realized this area was where Zhang Ermu lived. Given her bad history with Liu Piao, it was better to avoid potential conflicts from living too near to each other.

So when she heard his question, she nodded and replied, "Vice team leader, as long as I have a roof over my head, I can live anywhere."

Satisfied with her answer, An Xuyuan nodded and said, "Good. I will find people to help repair the house and build the toilet and warehouse."

"Thank you, Vice Team Leader," Shi Qiwan replied with a smile.

Since they had reached an agreement, the group turned around and headed in the opposite direction. As they walked, An Xuyuan saw Zhang Yulan walking out from a small dirt road leading to the mountains.

Seeing this, he frowned and said, "Comrade Han, I have something to take care of. You go ahead and show Comrade Shi the house."

"Alright," Comrade Han replied.

After they left, An Xuyuan strode toward Zhang Yulan and reached her in less than five minutes. Walking behind her, he asked, "What were you doing on the mountain?"

Startled by the sudden voice, Zhang Yulan let out a yelp and turned around. When she saw it was him, she patted her chest and said with a hint of annoyance, "Vice team leader, can you make some noise when you walk? You almost scared me to death!"

Ignoring her complaint, An Xuyuan looked into her bamboo basket, saw the fresh mushrooms, and asked, "Where did you get these mushrooms?"

Noticing her dilemma, An Xuyuan thought for a moment and added, "If you want to go to the mountains, call me. With another person by your side, you will be safer even if you encounter a wild beast."

The moment she heard his words, Zhang Yulan looked up at him in surprise. She never thought that he would take an interest in her. They had crossed paths many times before but had never exchanged a word.

If not for what happened two days ago, she doubted they would have spoken at all for the rest of her life. If he wasn’t interested in her personally, there was only one other possibility—he wanted to forage for food too.

She was reluctant to share the location of the mushrooms and wild vegetables, but she had a feeling that if she refused, he would find a way to stop her from going to the mountains altogether.

In the end, she had no choice but to share the soup to keep the meat for herself.

After weighing the pros and cons, she let out a long sigh and said, "Fine. I’m going to drop these mushrooms at my house and head back to the mountains. If you want to come, go get your bamboo basket and tools."

When he heard this, the corner of An Xuyuan’s lips lifted slightly. It was a barely noticeable smile that he didn’t realize.

Seeing her reluctant expression, he found it amusing and said calmly, "Alright, wait for me."

After he said those words, he turned and headed home to get his tools. Judging by her words, there must be a lot of mushrooms in that area.
