Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1017

Lu Jueyu smiled when she heard the staff’s words and nodded, "Okay. Thank you, sister."

After a brief conversation with the staff, they left the state-owned supply store and returned to their rented house. At that moment, both Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu were lost in thought, considering what they had heard from the staff.

When they arrived at the rented house, Father Li and Dong Li were resting, while Li Lingyun was nowhere to be seen. Knowing his second brother probably had something important to do, Li Chenmo said, "Wife, let’s go to your space."

Lu Jueyu nodded and brought her husband into her space after locking the door. Inside, they both took a shower and then went for a nap. Although they had done nothing strenuous, they still felt tired after being out all morning.

At the same time, Li Lingyun was sitting inside an old house located in a deserted alley. This place was the capital city’s black market. While it was known by everyone, the police would pretend not to know as long as there was no order from their superiors to crack down on the personal transactions.

Due to the lack of electricity and open windows, they needed to light a candle even during the day. Li Lingyun checked the account book and said, "Looks like the number of sales has been affected by the political situation."

Sitting across from him, the young man who helped deliver the betrothal gifts in the morning said, "Boss, it’s not only because of the authorities cracking down on middlemen, but also because there is a new middleman in the market."

"We don’t know who he is or where he came from, but he has a lot of good quality items for sale. He not only has grains, flour, vegetables, and meat but also wild honey, dried mushrooms, snacks, sauces, and fruits."

Hearing this, Li Lingyun raised his eyebrows. The variety of these items sounded familiar to him.

"Boss, they also sell wound ointment, whitening cream, scar removal cream, tonic wine, and various rice and fruit wines," another young man added anxiously.

The moment Li Lingyun heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Although he always suspected that his third brother owned the grain store in their county town’s black market, he never had any evidence.

He only knew that his third brother was selling items to Houzi. But now, hearing his subordinates’ words, he was certain that the newly opened store in the capital’s black market was his third brother’s.

While he was curious about the source of his brother’s items, he had no intention of finding out. After all, even though the store owners were different people, they were all part of the same family. So, these stores could be considered part of the Li family business.

Having reached this conclusion, Li Lingyun smiled and said, "Don’t bother with that store. The owner is one of our own."

When everyone heard this, they looked at him, and one of them asked, "Boss, if the owner of that store is one of us, will we get a discount if we buy their items?"

Li Lingyun laughed when he heard his words and said, "Well, you can ask the owner directly when you see him at my wedding banquet."

Hearing this, they looked at each other with suspicion in their minds. Since they will meet the owner of the store at their boss’ wedding banquet, they stop asking questions.
