Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1304: Human’s Personalities Differ ( 1 )

After An Xuyuan left on his bicycle, Shi Qiwan finally sat on the ground and cried. She felt deep sadness and utter disappointment toward her family. She couldn't understand what she had done wrong to be treated this way by them.

Seeing her mother like this, Liu Fuyan hugged her and said, "Mother, it's not your fault. It's them who can't appreciate your filial piety."

The children felt sad when they saw her crying. Though they were too young to understand the complexities of the adult world, they could still feel her pain. Anyone would feel heartbroken if their own family treated them this way.

Since no one was in the mood to work, Dong Li sighed and said, "Let's stop working and go fishing today."

The moment they heard his words, the children cheered. Even Shi Qiwan managed a small smile and nodded.

While they were cleaning up their tools, Liu Fuyan walked to him and said, "Thank you, Brother Ah Li."

"Mhmm, don't worry too much about your mother. Give her some time, and she will get better," Dong Li reassured her.

Meanwhile, in the Zhang family's house, a group of production staff came carrying sack after sack of wheat seeds. Standing in the yard, Father Zhang watched with confusion.

Although Father Zhang rarely interacted with the villagers, he was known as a hardworking person. So, when he walked over, the production staff still greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, we are sorry for coming without informing you," one of the researchers said.

Father Zhang was at a loss for what to do and said, "Comrade Chen, these are—"

Noticing his confusion, Comrade Chen replied, "Oh, these are wheat seeds sent from the capital. The vice team leader said that your family agreed to exchange wheat seeds with us. Since time is tight, we decided to bring them over today."

When Father Zhang heard this, he was taken aback. While his family still had some grains at home, those were corn, broken rice, barley, and some sorghum. Where did their family get wheat seeds to exchange with the production team?

While he was in a dilemma, Zhang Ermu walked into the yard with a big bamboo basket on his back. Seeing the production team's staff, he asked, "What brings everyone here today?"

"Brother Ermu, the vice team leader said you are willing to exchange seeds with us. So, we came here today," one of the staff replied.

"But the wheat is not dried yet," Zhang Ermu said.

"It doesn't matter. We will do it ourselves. Brother Ermu, do you think it's possible to exchange the seeds today?" the staff asked.

Since they could save time and effort drying the seeds, Zhang Ermu readily agreed and said, "Sure, come with me."

Before going to the backyard, he looked at his father and said, "Father, I will explain it to you later. Rest assured."

Father Zhang knew that his second son was someone who knew his boundaries and was more careful than his eldest son. So, he only nodded and said, "Go do what you need to do."

Zhang Ermu led the production team's staff to the backyard. The moment they saw the spread of wheat being dried, their eyes lit up. After they put down the sacks they carried, they squatted around the wheat to check on the quality.

Everyone had been researching how to improve the seeds, so they clearly knew the quality of the seeds in their hands.

Without even comparing them to the seeds sent from the capital, they already knew that these seeds were of higher quality. If they could plant these seeds, their harvest next year would be abundant.

After a while, they finally calmed down and put down the seeds in their hands. They stood up and looked at Zhang Ermu with gratitude and admiration.

Even if they didn't use this wheat as seeds, the taste of this wheat must be more delicious compared to the broken seeds they used to exchange. It's rare for someone to be willing to make a losing deal.

Not knowing their inner thoughts, Zhang Ermu placed his bamboo basket down and said, "Comrade, I don't have extra sacks, so you need to help me move this wheat into the warehouse first before we can use the sacks."

When they heard his words, they nodded and said, "That's a matter of course."

After reaching an agreement, they carried the sacks of broken wheat into the warehouse. Zhang Ermu pointed at the empty earthen jars inside and said, "You can pour the wheat into the jars."

The earthen jars were huge, with a height of more than a meter and a diameter of a meter. After they emptied the sacks, they only filled two and a half jars.

Afterward, they filled the sacks with the wheat from the backyard. When they were done, the sun had slanted toward the western horizon.

Seeing that they needed to carry the sacks manually, Zhang Ermu said, "Let me send the wheat to the production team's warehouse."

The moment they heard this, the staff was not polite at all and quickly loaded the sacks onto the bullock cart before Zhang Ermu even finished untying the reins from the tree.

Seeing this, he was speechless. He wondered if these people were as shameless as Han Yuheng. But he had already said those words, and he had no intention of changing his mind.

After they had loaded the sacks, the oldest staff member sat beside him on the driver's seat while the rest walked beside the cart. The bullock cart moved slowly, so everyone saw the sacks on the cart.

Feeling curious, one of the villagers asked, "Comrade, is that a new seed?"

Hearing his question, the staff nodded and replied in a good mood, "We just exchanged the broken seed with Brother Ermu. These seeds are of good quality and will be used in autumn planting later. If there is no unexpected accident, we will have an abundant harvest next year with these seeds."
