Because he and his wife have been reported before, Li Chenmo will not easily let down his guard and admit his relationship with the people in the black market. After all, no one can guarantee what the other person is thinking.
When Xiao Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Lingyun, and said with confusion, "Brother Li, it was Brother Yun who told me about this."
Seeing his Third Brother’s cautious look, Li Lingyun recalled the matter about him being reported before and said, "Third Brother, don’t worry. Ah Li is not someone who would betray his friends. I can guarantee this."
Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and looked at his second brother thoughtfully. Although they are brothers, his second brother has just returned to their family. Compared with him, the relationship between his second brother and Xiao Li is indeed closer. Since his second brother trusts Xiao Li, he will give him some faces and trust Xiao Li.
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Since my second brother trusts you, then I will trust you too. Brother Xiao, I do have friends in the black market. However, I can’t introduce you to them. If you need anything, I can help you contact them instead."
Xiao Li knows that people who work in the black market are secretive and don’t like to do business with unfamiliar people.
Because he just wanted to buy something, he didn’t insist and said, "Brother Li, I want to buy a radio, a sewing machine, and a bicycle. I wonder if you can help me find out about the price."
Hearing his words, Li Chenmo said, "From what I know, a bicycle without a coupon is 300 yuan, and with one industrial coupon it is 250 yuan. As for the radio and sewing machine, I need to ask first."
Xiao Li nodded when he heard the price. He had a guess about the price before come to visit.
At this time, he had about 1,200 yuan and 5 industrial coupons. He needs to divide the money for bride price and wedding banquet fee by 500 yuan. Therefore, he only has about 500 yuan to buy bicycles and other items. As for the remaining money, that’s his emergency fund.
After calculating the money, Xiao Li said, "Brother Li, if it’s possible, please help me ask the prices of thermos bottles, pots and woks."
Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun listened to his words and knew that Xiao Li’s money was limited, but he was unwilling to give less to Liu Hua. They both understood how he felt and smiled.
"Okay, I will let you know after I find out about the price." Li Chenmo nodded.
After getting his promise, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. With his limited money, he may only be able to buy a bicycle. But he will work hard, earn more money, and buy the remaining things for his wife later.
After the discussion, Xiao Li went home at noon. Li Chenmo stood in the front yard, looked at his second brother and asked, "Second brother, when do you plan to visit your parents-in-law?"
After listening to his words, Li Lingyun smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law and I plan to visit her parents after the summer harvest. However, she has already told her family about me in the letter she sent to her parents."
