Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1360: The Wang Family’s Visit ( 2 )

Father Wang looked at them and muttered under his breath, "All of you talk as if I'm the bad guy here. Since no one has any objections, then you can do as you please."

"Stop smoking and come help," Mother Wang said before she went to check if she forgot something.

Seeing his wife was happy and his daughters-in-law had no objections, Father Wang no longer worried and went to help them tie up the bamboo baskets.

When the sun rose in the eastern horizon, the Wang family set out for Xie village.

At the same time, Song Li and his son stood outside Li Chenmo's house. Not long after, the gate was opened.

Dong Li and Dong Huang looked at them and greeted them, "Uncle, Cousins."

Seeing them carrying their school bags, Song Li asked with a smile, "Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, are you going to school?"

Dong Li nodded and said, "Uncle, we are leaving now. My father said he would wait for you and my cousins in the backyard."

Hearing this, Song Li nodded and said, "Then we will go inside by ourselves. You should go or you will be late."

"Okay," Dong Li nodded.

After they entered the house, Dong Li closed the gate and locked it.

Inside the house, Song Wen and Song Min looked at the closed door with longing in their eyes.

It would be a lie to say they didn't feel envious when they saw their cousins going to school. Unfortunately, their family's condition was not as good as their aunt's and it would be impossible for their parents to pay the tuition fee.

Song Li noticed his sons' gazes and felt guilt in his heart. But, he couldn't say a word of comfort nor give them an empty promise.

The three of them walked to the backyard and saw Li Chenmo folding the sacks and checking his tools.

Seeing them coming from the window, Lu Jueyu came out of the kitchen holding three packages, a thermos flask, and three waterskins.

"Cousin, have you eaten? There is some breakfast in the kitchen, do you and the children want to have some first before leaving?" she asked with a smile.

"Yuyu, we have eaten at home," Song Li replied with a smile.

Lu Jueyu looked at the bamboo tubes hanging from their waists and knew they hadn't brought any food. Since they were going to harvest the grains, how could they work without eating?

With this thought, she placed the food and water prepared for her husband into a bamboo basket before she went back to the kitchen.

When she came out again, her husband had already finished checking everything and said, "Wife, we are leaving now."

Lu Jueyu handed four big packages wrapped in oil paper to him and said, "Husband, I packed more food for you, my cousin, and my nephews. Take a break when you are tired, don't overdo it."

Li Chenmo placed the packages into his bamboo basket and replied, "I know. Wait for me at home."

Lu Jueyu nodded and added, "Okay, be careful in the mountains."

"Mhhm," he replied and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Standing at the backyard gate, she watched them enter the mountain road before she locked the gate and entered her space.

Lately, besides having a great appetite, she was always sleepy. Sleeping outside would make her dizzy and nauseous when she woke up. So, she would enter her space and sleep inside.

While she was taking her long nap, Li Chenmo entered the mountains, followed by Song Li and his sons. Considering the boys' weak and thin bodies, he slowed down his pace as they climbed the steep road.

As they walked, Song Li tried to remember the road so that next time he could come with his sons without bothering his brother-in-law.

Meanwhile, Song Wen and Song Min looked around and saw a patch of mushrooms on the side. They didn't dare to delay the trip, so they only noted down the location. After they finished harvesting the grains, they would come back to gather the mushrooms.

It took them two hours of walking before they finally reached a flat surface. Turning around, they could see the villages in the distance and could roughly guess their location.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Chenmo said, "Brother-in-law, the field is up ahead."

Song Li was breathing heavily and could only nod. The air in the mountains was thinner than in the village. Since this was their first time coming to the mountains, it was hard for them to get used to the conditions.

Li Chenmo took note of their condition and said, "Later, we should rest for a while before working."

"Okay," Song Li agreed readily.

Twenty minutes later, they finally saw the vast yellow field in front of them. They thought they were coming to a wheat field today. Unexpectedly, they found a paddy field instead.

As a farmer, Song Li could roughly guess that this paddy field was at least four to five mu. On average, one mu of land could produce 300 kilograms.

So, this paddy field should have at least 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms of rice. According to their previous agreement, their family would be able to get 500 to 750 kilograms of rice after the harvest.

After doing the calculations, Song Li's eyes lit up with excitement. He looked at Li Chenmo gratefully and promised to return this favor in the future.

His brother-in-law didn't even hesitate when he offered to split the harvest in half. If it were other people, they wouldn't be willing to share this discovery and would hoard the food for themselves.

The Li family was indeed generous and kind!

Unbeknownst to them, this paddy field was specially planted by Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu as a cover for their family's food resources. Since it was used as a cover, they didn't feel bad sharing it with Song Li.

While Song Li and his sons were resting, Li Chenmo found a shady place under a tree and set up the tools used to process the rice.

He placed the sacks there and said, "Brother-in-law, we will process the rice first so it will be faster to transport them."

Hearing this, Song Li nodded and said, "No problem."
