Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1267: Investment Plan

Since they had reached an agreement, Lu Jueyu handed them the envelopes. The next moment, Dong Huang returned hers to her mother while saying, "Mother, this money is for you."

"Why? This is the money you earned," Lu Jueyu asked.

"Mother, Xiao Huang doesn’t need this money. You and Father need it more because you pay for everything," Dong Huang said matter-of-factly.

Looking at her sensible daughter, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Then Mother will save it for you. When you grow up and get married, this will be part of your dowry."

Although she didn’t fully understand what a dowry was, Dong Huang trusted her mother and nodded, "Okay!"

As for Feng Lin, he took 1,000 yuan and some coupons out of the envelope, and handed it back to Lu Jueyu while asking, "Aunt Li, can you keep this for me? People often come to my house, and I’m afraid I will lose the money if I keep it there."

Thinking about Feng Lin’s family situation, Lu Jueyu accepted the envelope and nodded, "Okay, Aunt Li will keep it for you. Whenever you want it back, just let me know."

Feng Lin nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Li!"

"You’re welcome," Lu Jueyu replied.

After their brief conversation, the children went to help plant the greenhouse, and Lu Jueyu stored the money in her space before following them with the seeds she just bought.

At the same time, in Dong Li’s bedroom, Chen Jianmin was counting the money while Dong Li was writing in his small notebook.

After a while, Chen Jianmin finished counting and asked, "Ah Li, are you really giving me 34,500 yuan?"

"Mhmm, the pearls sold for 84,500 yuan. I took 50,000," Dong Li said casually.

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin didn’t say another word and tucked the money into his clothes. Since his friend had discovered the location and he had only helped harvest the pearls, it was only fair for Dong Li to take a larger share.

Even if he had only been given 500 yuan, he would have been satisfied—let alone earning this much. With this new income, his savings now totaled around 150,000 yuan.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Ah Li, what do you plan to do with your money?"

Dong Li finished writing down the last number before replying, "I plan to invest in some businesses."

Chen Jianmin’s eyes lit up at his words. Compared to simply hiding the money away, investing it in a business was a smarter move. Although there were risks, there was also the potential to make even more money.

Leaning closer, he asked in a low voice, "Ah Li, what kind of business are you thinking about?"

Dong Li glanced at his friend and asked, "Why? Are you interested too?"

"If you have trustworthy people, I would like to join in," Chen Jianmin nodded.

"For now, I plan to invest in transportation and trade. The person I know needs a large amount of money to expand his business. I have around 280,000 yuan at hand and plan to invest 250,000 yuan," Dong Li explained.

Chen Jianmin took a sharp breath, stared at his friend, and asked with surprise, "How did you manage to earn so much money?"

"I found Lingzhi and ginseng and sold them to Brother Houzi. He paid a high price for them," Dong Li said.

"Why am I not as lucky as you? All I have managed to find are mushrooms and fish," Chen Jianmin sighed.

"How much do you have?" Dong Li asked.

"So far, I have saved around 150,000 yuan, mostly from selling wild honey and fish."

"How much do you plan to invest?"

Chen Jianmin thought for a moment before replying, "50,000 yuan. There is always a risk in trusting others with money, so I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket."

Nodding in agreement, Dong Li said, "I will send the money tonight. Do you want to come with me or entrust it to me?"

"I have something to do tonight, so I will entrust it to you," Chen Jianmin replied without hesitation.

"Alright."

With their agreement settled, Chen Jianmin left the money with Dong Li, who would lend him 15,500 yuan first, to be repaid the next day. Afterward, they went to help Li Chenmo and his brothers build the greenhouses.

While the Li family was busy with their greenhouse project, Song Yan squatted in Doctor Xie’s backyard, slowly fanning a small stove. He was brewing medicine for Su Lanying and was lost in thought.

No one knew what he was thinking, but Li Shu found her Senior brother’s expressions amusing.

One moment, he would frown deeply, as if troubled by a big problem. The next, he would blush and slap himself on the face. Then, he would grumble and grit his teeth angrily.

Seeing him like this, she thought of a certain someone and shook her head. Whether a young boy, an adult, or an old man, they all had the same trait—being weird and hard to comprehend.

While watching her Senior brother, Li Shu washed the mushrooms given by Chen Jianmin and placed them on a bamboo tray to dry.

Afterward, she cleaned the vegetables and prepared the seasoning for pickled vegetables. These had been given to her by Dong Huang after their family harvested their crops.

For the past few days, everyone has been talking about Li Chenmo’s family matters. No one knew who had spread the news, but by now, everyone already knew that he was building bamboo houses in his yard.

At first, they thought he was expanding his house. But when they learned the structures were actually for growing vegetables, they laughed at him. Even a fool knew that building a house just to grow vegetables was a waste of money.

During winter, they could simply cover their crops with dried straw and still enjoy fresh vegetables. Winter cabbages, in particular, tasted sweeter and crispier after being exposed to frost. If grown indoors, the flavor would be much worse.
