Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1045

The sister of the mayor’s wife from another city sent over a basket of fruits as a gift before. The mayor had said such fruits were rare, often unavailable even with money and coupons, as they were usually obtained from the black market.

At this moment, he recalled that the city where the fruit was bought was near Xie Village. It seemed the black market middlemen got their supplies from villagers who foraged the mountains in that area.

Though he worked for the government, Pan Chiyan understood the importance of the symbiosis system. Closing th black market could cut off the villagers’ livelihood and affect the quality of life for urban residents.

Although personal trading is illegal, he still believes that monopoly is not the answer to improving people’s quality of life. They need to give people more freedom to do business.

Trade can not only develop the economy, but also solve many problems such as resource scarcity. Through exchanges between regions, resources can be distributed more evenly.

Unfortunately, the central government sticks to their laws and refuses to open the market. Since they can’t change the entire system, the mayor can only try to let the urban residents get what they need on the black market. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

As long as middlemen don’t hoard supplies and increase prices unreasonably, the mayor will turn a blind eye. On the other hand, the middleman also knows the mayor’s bottom line and will never cross it.

Thanks to this unspoken understanding between the government and black market middlemen, the food shortages in the capital and several other cities were temporarily resolved.

After locking the warehouse, Pan Chiyan looked at Li Lingyun and asked, "Brother-in-law, what time will your family arrive tomorrow?"

"My third sister-in-law said she and her family would leave around 3 o’clock in the morning. They might arrive by 4. As for my father, he will come around 10 o’clock," Li Lingyun replied after thinking for a moment.

The Pan family knew about Father Li’s health from Pan Meijia. So when he heard this, Pan Chiyan nodded and said, "When your father arrives, he can rest in my room. It will be cooler inside than waiting outside."

Li Lingyun didn’t refuse the offer and said, "I will inform my father. Thank you, Brother-in-law."

Pan Chiyan nodded while patting Li Lingyun on the shoulder and said, "It’s getting late, you should head back and get some rest."

Feeling the firm muscles under his palm, he grew even more satisfied with his sister’s future husband. With a physique like that, he was confident Li Lingyun could work hard in the fields and provide well for his wife and children.

Unaware of his brother-in-law’s thoughts, Li Lingyun left with his subordinates after a brief conversation. When their truck pulled up outside the rented house, one of the young men said, "Boss, I can borrow bicycles from my friends if you need them."

After thinking for a moment, Li Lingyun replied, "Alright, borrow two bicycles for me. It’s fine to pay a small rental fee. We only need them in the morning, so you only need to borrow them for a few hours."

Hearing this, the young man patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, boss. You can leave this matter to me."

"Alright."

After they parted ways, Li Lingyun took a quick shower near the well and went to sleep. Tomorrow was an important day for him and his girlfriend, and he wanted to be in his best condition.

Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu, Li Chenmo, and Dong Li woke up before dawn.
