Chapter 119 Having an Outlet
Mo Lin was sensible. He knew his sister’s illness was difficult to treat, and it was already very difficult for his elder sister to be willing to take care of them. He couldn’t ask for more, only wishing to help his elder sister as much as he could within his abilities to repay her life-saving grace.
“Big Brother, don’t worry about Xiao Tiantian’s matter. We’ll talk about it later. I just want to do something for my sister. I can’t keep eating and drinking for free forever.”
Ye Mu En smiled and ruffled Mo Lin’s short hair, thinking he was quite worried for such a young child.
“Your sister has nothing urgent to do right now; her priority is recovering. You’ll be starting school soon too. I’ll arrange for your schooling in the next few days. The only problem is Xiao Tiantian being at home alone.”
Mo Lin quickly waved his hands. He didn’t want to go to school. Thinking of his grandfather and parents’ fate, he was terrified.
“I don’t want to go to school. I just want to stay with my sister and help Elder Sister.”
“Not going to school is not an option. Without knowledge, what can you do out in the world? Let alone help your elder sister in the future.”
Mo Lin stubbornly lowered his head. He didn't want to go; he truly didn’t want to.
Ye Mu En had never dealt with children before. He was just there to deliver a message, and seeing Mo Lin’s reaction, he was at a loss.
“Alright, if you’re unwilling now, I won’t force you. Wait until Sister Shen Ge comes and talks to you.”
Just as Ye Mu En was about to leave, Luo Han Sheng arrived. He was uncertain about his job, earning a salary while doing so little work, and he was anxious.
When he saw Ye Mu En, Luo Han Sheng’s eyes lit up.
“Eldest Brother Ye, does Shen Ge have any arrangements?”
Ye Mu En smiled and sat back down, gesturing for Luo Han Sheng to sit.
“Can you drive a large vehicle?”
Luo Han Sheng shook his head. In this era, learning to drive required finding a master.
“In a few days, a comrade of mine will come. I’ll have him teach you how to drive. Once you’ve learned, you’ll go south to collect supplies for me. No grain-related items, only fruits and seafood from the south.”
“Really! That’s great. I promise I’ll complete the task.”
Luo Han Sheng wasn’t happy about learning to drive; he was happy that he finally had an outlet.
“Don’t celebrate too soon. You need to clearly understand that you’ll be dealing with the black market from now on, and your life might even be in danger. If you want to back out now, you can say so directly.”
“I’m not afraid. I’m afraid of living a life that’s neither human nor ghost. Shen Ge has given me this opportunity, and I’m willing to work for her my entire life, and I guarantee absolute loyalty.”
Ye Mu En clicked his teeth. It was clearly him assigning tasks, yet he wasn’t among those thanked. However, willingness to be loyal to his sister was the same, as he himself was also working for his sister.
“Okay, I’ll contact you for the specific details later. If you have any urgent matters, you can also find me and Shen Ge at this address.”
Ye Mu En handed over a slip of paper with their current address. He also gestured for Mo Lin to memorize it, as he would be very busy from now on and might not be able to attend to everything.
“Eldest Brother Ye, do you need me to do anything else regarding Ye Xin Guo’s family matters? I’ve had people keeping an eye on Old Woman Ye and Li Xiu Mei all along.”
Ye Mu En had initially intended to deal with the remaining members of the Ye family himself, but seeing Luo Han Sheng’s continued concern, he decided to let him practice.
“Go arrange for some men now to bring Old Woman Ye’s relatives from the countryside. Tell them about Ye Xin Guo’s situation, and then casually mention that Old Woman Ye has money and property. The rest depends on their greed. If they aren’t greedy, add fuel to the fire. I want Old Woman Ye to live a life where she can only drink a bowl of gruel each day.”
