Looking at Lu Han’s serious expression, Li Chenmo knew that the news he got from Xu Bohai was true. Although he expected that his wife’s two brothers were not simple, he never expected that one of them was a black market boss and the other was a big fish in the smuggling industry.
Lu Han looked at the two of them with honest eyes and asked with a confused smile, "Brother-in-law, where did you hear about this nonsense?"
"Eldest brother, I’m sorry. I can’t tell you who it is, but my friend is looking for someone who can help him transport grain to the capital and nearest cities. He heard that your friend is trustworthy and the goods handled by him will definitely arrive smoothly. Therefore, he wants to know if you can help him contact your friends," Li Chenmo said with a knowing smile.
Lu Han listened to his brother-in-law’s words and glanced at his sister. Seeing the confusion in Lu Jueyu’s eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately she didn’t know anything. He didn’t want his sister to be dragged into the messy underground business.
After thinking about it, Lu Han looked at his sister and said, "Jueyu, it’s rare for you to visit. Mother said she misses you. You should go visit her for a while."
Knowing that this was a hint for her to leave, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "I do plan to visit our parents. I will leave both of you to talk. I’ll go find my sister-in-law and our mother first."
After saying that, she carried the bamboo basket and went to her parents’ house.
When they were alone, Lu Han’s expression changed instantly. He squinted at Li Chenmo and asked, "Brother-in-law, the person who wants to contact my friend is your friend or you?"
"Eldest brother, in fact, you are the one I want to find. After all, your friend works for you. So, if I want to discuss business, it is better to find the boss directly," Li Chenmo said calmly.
Hearing this, Lu Han sighed and asked, "When did you find out about this and start doing this business?"
Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, "I started doing this business not long after I joined the army. As for your business, I only found out not long ago."
This time, Lu Han was stunned by his words. He thought that even if his brother-in-law got involved in this business, it would be around the time after he returned to Xie Village. He never imagined he would be in this business since he was a teenager. Compared with him, Li Chenmo is actually an experienced fox.
Lu Han had a headache when he thought about how sly this man was and felt pity for his ignorant sister. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Li Chenmo took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Eldest brother, I need you to help me transport the grains from here to the Capital. When your people arrive in the Capital, someone will pick up the goods. You just need to deliver the goods to them and then you can receive your payment."
Lu Han looked at the address and asked, "How much do you want me to transport?"
"One ton." Li Chenmo said casually.
