Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 183

Lu Jueyu smashed the crayfish with a stone and put them into the fish basket. After that, she threw the fish basket into the river. When the children saw what she did, they followed her and smashed the crayfish before throwing the fish basket into the river.

When they were done, Lu Jueyu said, "Now, all we have to do is wait for the fish to enter the fish basket."

"Third Aunt, should we wait here?" Li Jingxu asked doubtfully.

Usually when they fish, they need to wait for the fish to bite the bait before they can pull the fish up. If they weren’t here guarding the fish basket, wouldn’t the fish just run away after eating the bait?

"It’s not necessary. Once a fish enters the fish basket, it can’t leave." Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Zhang Dongmei looked at the children with a smile and said, "While we wait for the fish, let’s help your Third aunt. Can you help pull out the weeds?"

"Mother, we can." Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu nodded and said in unison.

"Then go." Zhang Dongmei said, motioning for them to leave.

Both Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu were already 8 years old at the time, but they were thin and smaller compared to other children of the same age due to a lack of food. Looking at their small bodies, Lu Jueyu felt that this era was really the most difficult to live in.

Comparing children of this era with children of modern times, she finally understood why her grandparents liked to scold them for being ungrateful whenever they wasted food.

For people in this era, if they can eat a piece of meat, they will be happy all day long. Modern people not only complain about eating meat and getting fat but also waste food. Looking back on her behavior, Lu Jueyu felt ashamed of her picky eating habits.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Zhang Dongmei asked, "Third sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?"

After coming back to her senses, Lu Jueyu said, "Eldest sister-in-law, there is only some work left. I only need to water the vegetable garden and feed the piglets."

Zhang Dongmei was used to doing heavy and dirty work, so she said, "How about I help you feed the piglets?"

Lu Jueyu was taken aback by her words and said, "Sister-in-law, the pig pen really stinks. Can you bear the smell?" _{freewebnøvel.com}

After hearing her words, Zhang Dongmei smiled and said, "I’m used to it."

After a brief conversation, Lu Jueyu went to get a bucket and filled it with pig feed from her space when Zhang Dongmei went to the bathroom. Lu Jueyu handed her the pig feed when she came out of the bathroom. She looked at the pig feed and was surprised to find that there was not only pig grass in it, but also grains, corn, beans, and other things she didn’t recognize.

While Zhang Dongmei went to feed the piglets, Lu Jueyu continued to water the vegetable garden, while the children were pulling weeds. After plowing the soil, there were not many weeds, and after a while, they were all pulled out.

Seeing that they had completed their task, Lu Jueyu said, "Xiaoqian, Xiaoxu, thank you for your help. Go and wash your hands. There are still steamed buns in the kitchen, go and eat them."

Hearing that they can eat steamed buns, Li Jiangxu said happily, "Thank you, Third aunt."

Half an hour later, Lu Jueyu finally finished watering the vegetable garden and went to check the fish basket. With Zhang Dongmei’s help, they pulled up the fish basket. The moment the fish basket was pulled up, they saw that the basket was almost full of fish.

"Mother, there are so many fish!" Li Jingqian clapped his hands and shouted happily.

They were stunned by so many fish in the basket and thought there were many fish in the river. Seeing them looking at the fish basket with wide eyes, Lu Jueyu just smiled. Although there are indeed many fish in the river, it is impossible for them to catch so many fish in such a short time.
