Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife
Chapter 1478 - 1478: Sudden Visit ( 5 )

The second aunt didn't fight back and lowered her head. If being slapped could save her husband and children, she was willing to endure it.

Seeing her like this, Mother Pan was so furious that she felt dizzy.

Noticing her mother-in-law's pale face, Bai Xue'er quickly helped her sit down while saying, "Mother, please calm down."

Once she was seated and drinking some water, Bai Xue'er turned to the second aunt and said coldly, "Second aunt, I will try to find a way. You should leave now."

Knowing that staying any longer would only worsen things, the second aunt picked up her bag and quietly left.

After the second aunt left, Mother Pan held her daughter-in-law's hand and asked, "Xue'er, do you really have a way to help your second aunt?"

"If you can't, then we will just reject her. No matter how your second uncle's relatives tried to implicate us, they didn't have any evidence. Without that, all of the accusations are slander."

After a moment of silence, Bai Xue'er replied, "Mother, don't worry. I will contact Jueyu and see if she can help us."

"If you help them this time, what if your second uncle's relatives ask for more next time? We can't always help them, right? What if we have no way to help?" Mother Pan asked worriedly.

"People like them will never be satisfied. They take our help for granted, and if you one day refuse, they will point their fingers at you and make you look like a bad person."

"Mother, you can be at ease. If I can't handle this matter, my husband is around. I can ask for his help," Bai Xue'er reassured her mother-in-law.

Only after hearing this did Mother Pan feel slightly relieved. While she no longer felt worried, she still felt angry toward her second sister-in-law.

Usually, she always put on airs as the Mayor's wife whenever there was a family gathering. Who would have thought that she also got suppressed in her husband's family?

After staying with her mother-in-law for a while, Bai Xue'er left and went to the post office. Since this matter was urgent, she planned to send a telegram to Lu Jueyu.

When she arrived at the post office, there were only several people sending packages and letters. She joined the line and waited. Five minutes later, it was her turn.

"Hello, comrade. Do you want to send a letter or check your letter?" the staff asked.

"Comrade, I want to send a telegram," Bai Xue'er replied.

The staff nodded and handed her a small piece of paper. Holding the pen, she wrote down a short message and handed the message to the staff.

The staff checked the message and saw that it was only about her asking for help from her friends, mostly regarding grains. Recently, there were a lot of people asking for help from their friends and relatives due to the food shortage.

When the staff thought about her own situation, she let out a sigh and quickly handed over the message to her colleague. Then, she calculated the price and said, "Comrade, the total is 1 yuan and 10 cents."

Bai Xue'er took out her pouch and paid while saying, "Thank you, Comrade."

After leaving the post office, she went to the black market while covering her face with a scarf. She walked the desolate alley with her head lowered for ten minutes. When she reached the small shop, she knocked on the door.

While waiting, she looked around to make sure that no one was following her.

Not long after, the door was opened, and a young man looked at her while asking, "Who are you?"

Bai Xue'er pulled down the scarf and said, "Comrade, I'm looking for Comrade Luo Zhenhe."

The young man had seen her before, so after he heard her words, he gestured for her to enter before he quickly closed the door and locked it. Once inside, he led her to the underground warehouse.

After walking for ten minutes, they arrived at a small office. Thanks to the window on the wall, the air was not stuffy even though the office was underground.

"Boss, this comrade is looking for you," the young man said before leaving.

Raising his head from the account book, Luo Zhenhe was surprised to see Bai Xue'er. Standing up, he gestured for her to take a seat and asked, "Comrade Bai, what brought you here?"

Bai Xue'er took her seat and replied, "Comrade Luo, I came to ask if you still have any grains for sale."

After sitting down, Luo Zhenhe raised his eyebrows and said, "Comrade Bai, if I remember correctly, you just bought grains not long ago, and the amount was not small."

Hearing his inquiry, Bai Xue'er didn't respond to his words and said, "This time, the amount I want is 6,000 kilograms if possible. If not, 3,000 kilograms is also fine."

Luo Zhenhe went silent the moment he heard this. After a long silence, he asked, "Comrade Bai, what do you want to do, buying so many grains?"

Judging from his expression, Bai Xue'er knew that he wouldn't sell the grains to her if she didn't tell him the reason. After considering the pros and cons, she finally said, "Comrade Luo, I will be honest with you."

"These grains are for my husband's relatives. They found out that I bought grains from the black market and that I have a connection. They threatened to report me and my husband to the authorities if I didn't help them buy some grains."

"If not because I have no other way, I wouldn't come to ask for your help. I know that the grains in your hands are limited, and asking for so much would affect your business. But I have no other way now."

At first, Luo Zhenhe thought that she would brush off his question. If she had done that, he would have rejected this business deal. Unexpectedly, she told him the truth.
