Pan Chimu was closer to Pan Meijia since they were young, so he knew some things that their eldest brother was unaware of.
Noticing his hesitation, Pan Chiyan frowned and said, "Speak if you have something to say."
"Brother, before I tell you, you have to promise me that you won’t get angry," Pan Chimu said.
The moment he heard this, Pan Chiyan frowned deeper and stared at him. Under his stare, he saw that his second brother was getting uncomfortable, but he still refused to say a word.
Since he wouldn’t tell him unless he promised, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Only after getting his brother’s promise did Pan Chimu say, "Actually, our brother-in-law has a channel to buy grains. It’s just that this channel has something to do with the other side."
The moment he said these words, the room fell silent. He looked at his brother and noticed his darkened face. It seemed that his brother was really angry.
He didn’t plan to spill the beans, but he couldn’t watch his brother in trouble and did nothing to help when he had the solution. Now that his eldest brother was angry, would his sister and his brother-in-law blame him?
While he was thinking about the consequences of spilling the secret, Pan Chiyan asked through gritted teeth, "You mean that Li Lingyun has a relationship with the gang?"
"He has a wide range of connections. He is not in the gang but has a friend in the gang," Pan Chimu replied cautiously.
"How did you know?" Pan Chiyan asked.
"Jiajia told me before when I asked where she got so much meat and grain to send to my barracks."
"Jiajia sent you food?" Pan Chiyan asked again with raised eyebrows.
Pan Chimu nodded and replied, "She sends me food once every month."
"Why didn’t she send me any?" Pan Chiyan asked unhappily.
When Houzi heard this, he let out a sigh and shook his head. These two brothers’ focus was no longer on the matter of Li Lingyun having a connection with the gang, but on why their sister only sent food to one of them.
Pan Chimu also didn’t know why his sister only sent food to him and not to their eldest brother. So, he scratched his nose and said, "Maybe because you can eat at our parents’ place while I can’t?"
With these words, Pan Chiyan felt better in his heart. It was indeed as his second brother said.
Every time their parents received things from their sister, their mother would give half to him. It should be counted as his sister caring more about him and giving him more things.
After soothing himself, he finally said, "Since Jiajia decided not to tell me about her husband’s matters, then you don’t have to let her know that I am aware of this. I don’t want her to worry about unnecessary things."
Pan Chimu nodded and asked, "But, Brother, what should we do about your task?"
Zhao Xirui also noticed the documents and said, "Then, let’s chat another time."
