Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 684

Chapter 684: Killing Two Birds With One Stone
Li Chenmo nodded after hearing Lu Han’s words and said, “I will inform my friend later. He is worried that you will cancel the job.”

Lu Han was amused by his words and said, “Brother-in-law, I am not that stupid to refuse this big order. Although the risk is high, the fee paid is not small at all. Your friend agreed to pay me 10,000 yuan for this order. After deducting everything, I can still earn at least 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, which is not a small sum at all.”

“I still have to pay my wife’s money back. So, I won’t refuse an order, especially an order from you,” he added meaningfully.

Hearing this, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, “Brother, I believe your wife will not calculate the money so clearly with you.”

Lu Han heard his words and said with a smile, “Even if she doesn’t say anything, I know she is worried about her parents. So, this money still needs to be returned to her.”

“Did something happen to them?” Li Chenmo asked.

“Their food was stolen and what they have now is only enough for three days at most. Although we have bought some food for them on the black market this morning, the money may not be enough to buy more food before the distribution day. Prices have increased so much that the grains are almost as expensive as meat.”

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Chenmo said, “Brother, there are food shortages in several cities, and it is normal for prices to rise. Instead of paying a high price to buy food, how about you borrow some from me first and return it on the distribution day?”

Before Lu Han could refuse his suggestion, he said, “Brother, when I got married, my father and brother gave me a lot of food. My wife and I had more than enough to eat for several months. These grains and flour have been stored for a long time. If we don’t consume it as soon as possible, it may become moldy.”

“So, lending it to your wife’s family is the best choice for both of us. You don’t have to pay high prices to buy food, and I don’t have to worry about my food becoming moldy. When the Chen family returns the food, I can get freshly harvested food that can be stored for a long time,” he added.

At first, Lu Han thought that his brother-in-law suggested lending food to him because he was Lu Jueyu’s brother. But after listening to his explanation, he finally understood that lending the food to the Chen family was also for his brother-in-law’s own benefit.

Since this suggestion can solve both of their problems, there is no reason to reject it. After coming to this conclusion, Lu Han nodded and said, “In that case, I will inform my parents-in-law to prevent them from borrowing money to buy food.”

“Brother-in-law, thank you for your help!” he added.

“Eldest brother, as the son-in-law of the Lu family, this is what I should do. If my wife knew about this, she would definitely make the same suggestion to you,” Li Chenmo said.

After solving the problem of his wife’s natal family, Lu Han was in a good mood and said, “Tonight, there will be a delivery from the coastal city. I will deliver a box of seafood to you and Jueyu early tomorrow morning.”

Hearing this, Li Chenmo was a little curious and asked, “Brother, the fastest train from the coastal city to the nearest city takes more than 20 hours. Plus the transportation time from the city to our village, it will take at least 30 hours. The seafood will not spoil when it arrives in our village, right?”

“Seafood comes in buckets with water and does not spoil. When they arrive at the black market, it is still fresh and alive. Unless there are unexpected delays, the fish or seafood will not die,” Lu Han explained.

Considering the transportation mode, live seafood and fish can be transported from one city to another. While it’s possible, shipping is not cheap because it takes a lot of effort to ensure the water is clear and the seafood has enough oxygen.

Since it was a rare delicacy, Li Chenmo did not refuse and said, “Then I would like to thank my elder brother first. My wife will definitely be very happy when she gets the seafood.”

Recalling that his sister likes to eat crabs the most, Lu Han added, “If there are crabs, I will give you more.”

“Thank you, brother,” Li Chenmo smiled.

After discussing important matters, Li Chenmo left the Lu family and returned to his home. When he got on his bicycle, he found Da Gao glaring at him with vicious eyes as he stood across from the road.

Li Chenmo narrowed his eyes and looked back at him. When their eyes met, Da Gao looked away as if nothing had happened. Although it was only a few seconds, he clearly felt hostility from Da Gao.

Without him having to think deeply, he knew it must be because of Su Anna and her father. It seems that even though she is married to Da Gao, she still does not realize her situation and refuses to stop disturbing him and his wife. That being the case, she couldn’t blame him if he sent her to jail too.

Thinking of the news about black market middlemen coming from the capital, Li Chenmo curled his lips. They can take advantage of this and work with the government to clean up the Black Hawk Group and Su Anna. It will kill two birds with one stone!

After returning home, he went into his bedroom and wrote a letter on a small piece of paper. Then, he put the letter into the small bamboo tube and left the room.

Opening the door to the backyard, he walked to the bamboo bridge and put the small bamboo tube into a secret compartment beside the bridge. This is where he exchanges messages with his men.
