"So, when they saw you and Jueyu inviting people for meals after you adopted Xiao Huang and Xiao Li, especially for Xiao Huang’s birthday, it’s normal for them to have such thoughts when they saw you can bring out so much food and good stuff," Lu Han added.
After listening to his brother-in-law’s words, Li Chenmo was silent for a moment. He understood that his brother-in-law was helping him to cover up their business and said, "Brother, I understand. But you don’t have to worry, because we didn’t do anything illegal."
"As you can see, we grow our own vegetables and fruits. As for staple food, they grow wild in the mountains. I often go there to pick some potatoes and wheat. So, even if they report my wife and I to the authorities, I’m sure nothing will happen to us," he added.
This time, not only the Chen brothers were surprised, but Lu Han was also taken aback by his words.
"Is there food in the mountains?" Lu Han asked curiously.
"Yes, the last time I went into the mountains, I dug a lot of potatoes and carrots. I also found a big beehive and got lots of wild honey," Li Chenmo said calmly.
"Brother, if you’re interested, I can take you with me when I go there again," he added.
After trying to hold back, Chen Anwen’s third brother still asked, "Brother Chenmo, can we go with you?"
In order to spread the news about the source of his food, Li Chenmo readily agreed and said, "Of course, how about we go tomorrow?"
In urgent need of food, the Chen brothers were overjoyed and agreed, "Okay!"
After they finished their ’performance’ for the Chen brothers, Li Chenmo looked at Lu Han and said, "The food is inside, brother, I need you to help me transport it out."
Curious about the underground warehouse, Lu Han nodded and said, "Then let’s move it quickly."
The two of them entered the warehouse using a ladder. Seeing that the warehouse was filled with dried corn, coarse grains, white rice and various flours, Lu Han was a little surprised, "Brother-in-law, I didn’t expect you to have so much grain."
Li Chenmo pointed to the flour and said, "These flours are ground from cassava, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, and barley. Coarse grains include millet, sorghum, barley, wheat, and corn. There are also some pickled vegetables in the jars."
"Brother, you can choose what you want," he added.
Because there were so many varieties, Lu Han was dazzled and shouted, "Brother-in-law, I think it’s better for you to come down and choose. I’ll help you carry the grains to the cart."
