Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 729

While the Li family was full of expectations, Aunt Lin and Aunt Su were so busy that they didn’t even have time to rest.

At this time, the two were sitting at the village elder’s house.

"Uncle Chen, we know that there are many procedures to go through when borrowing the village hall. It is indeed our fault that we inform you so suddenly," Aunt Lin said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Su put a bamboo basket on the table and said, "Uncle Chen, this is just a small gift for you. If this matter can be done, we will not forget your help. So, please help us with this."

Chen Hui glanced at the bamboo basket and saw that there were meat, eggs, and some vegetables in it. These things do not come easily, and they are exactly what he needs most now.

When his family was separated from his eldest brother, they were only given some food and money, which was simply not enough for them. By this time, they had spent most of their money on food. But as prices continue to rise, they can no longer buy food.

After thinking about it, Chen Hui said meaningfully, "It’s not impossible for me to help you with this matter. However, you know the situation in my family."

Aunt Lin and Aunt Su are both experienced people. Listening to his words, both of them knew that he wanted some benefits.

Before coming over, Xiao Li told them that now that they have found the food source. So, they don’t have to worry about the ingredients for the wedding banquet. In this case, they should be able to spare some food for this matter.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, we understand. Tomorrow we will send 50 kilograms of coarse grains and 20 kilograms of corn flour."

Chen Hui was satisfied with the amount of food they provided. With this, his family can hold on until distribution day.

Since they had agreed to his request, he said, "Don’t worry, leave the matter of village hall to me."

After settling the wedding hall matter, Aunt Lin and Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief. With the number of guests they invited, it could only be held in the village hall.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

After they left, Chen Hui’s eldest son came out of the room and said, "Father, can you accept so many things from them?"

Chen Hui frowned and said after a while, "It won’t be a problem. Many people have been short of food recently, and even the team leader is no exception. It’s normal for me to accept some benefits. After all, I am one of the elders in the village and taking care of the village hall is my jurisdiction."

After hearing his father’s words, Chen Kai was still a little worried, but he didn’t say anything. He knew his father took the risk because the family was running out of food.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Father, tomorrow my brothers and I will go to the mountains to find food."

After taking one, Zhang Dongmei felt her nausea was relieved a lot and her mood was much better.

She looked at Lu Jueyu and praised, "Third sister-in-law, the kumquats you pickled are so delicious."

Seeing that she liked it, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, if you like it, I will give you the recipe. It is not difficult to make. In addition, you can also make another type that can be used for cooking."

Zhang Dongmei quickly refused after hearing this, "I can’t accept it. You taught me many recipes already."

Lu Jueyu held her hand and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, we are a family. You have done a lot for our family. Even if I share all my recipes with you, it is not too much."

After a while, Zhang Dongmei finally said, "Thank you, third sister-in-law."

"Eldest sister-in-law, I’m no longer selling snacks now. You can sell them if you want. But you have to wait until next month. The government is currently arresting black market middlemen," Lu Jueyu said in a low voice.

Zhang Dongmei was startled by her words and asked in a low voice, "Third sister-in-law, how did you know about this?"

"The middleman we worked with told me." Lu Jueyu said in a low voice.
