"Captain, why didn’t you bring our sister-in-law with you?" asked the man with scars on his face.
"I will introduce my wife to everyone later. Okay, here is the list of items. Help me prepare for it and don’t give me a discount. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me, so I can’t stay for too long." Li Chenmo said, handing a piece of paper to the man with a scar.
After getting the list, they prepared the food and helped him move it out of the basement warehouse. Li Chenmo paid the market price and said, "There is turmoil in the capital. You have to be careful what you do business and don’t get caught."
"Captain, we understand."
"If you need help, you can come to me in Xie village." Li Chenmo added.
After a brief conversation, he left with the man with a scar on his face. Both men were carrying several sacks on their backs. When Li Chenmo returned to the corner of the dark alley, he saw his wife stretching her neck and waiting anxiously.
The moment Lu Jueyu saw her husband coming back, a smile appeared on her face. She walked over and said, "Husband..."
Before she finished speaking, she found a man with deep scars on his face standing behind her husband, looking at her with interest. Although he looked scary, Lu Jueyu did not feel that this man had any malicious intent. So she nodded and smiled at him.
Seeing her amiable attitude towards him, the man was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he looked at his captain with admiration. His captain has really good eyes for a wife. Her attitude towards him alone proved that she was a good person.
Normally, people would feel fearful or wary of him when they see the scars on his face. Before they knew his character, they already decided he was a bad guy. His captain’s wife was able to smile kindly in front of his scary face. She had the courage and a kind heart.
He put the sacks on the ground and said, "Captain, I’ll take my leave now. If you need anything, come to us."
"Mhmm. Thank you." Li Chenmo nodded at him.
Lu Jueyu was stunned for a moment when she heard the man call her husband captain. Only people in the military would address Li Chenmo by his military rank. She looked at her husband questioningly.
"I’ll tell you later. Let’s go back first." Li Chenmo whispered.
Lu Jueyu nodded, collected all the grains into her space, and then entered her space with her husband. After changing their clothes, they leave her space with their bicycle. The two left the black market on a bicycle and returned to Xie Village.
