Zheng Ping returned home with his things, where Mao Min was already waiting anxiously.
The food has been ready for a long time; we're just waiting for Zheng Ping to come back.
"Wife, I'm home!"
As soon as Zheng Ping entered the house, he shouted. Mao Min was sitting in the kitchen, unable to contain her smile.
"You're finally back. The food's almost cold. Didn't you say you'd be back soon? Why are you so late?" Mao Min stood up and took his bag.
"I went to the public bathhouse and took a bath. I hadn't washed my face for seven days. I was so dirty."
"I didn't want to go at first, but they kept urging me, so I had no choice but to go," Zheng Ping chuckled.
"You've worked hard. Take off your clothes and come eat. I can smell the stench on your clothes from far away," Mao Min urged.
"Okay." Zheng Ping quickly took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear.
As soon as he turned around, Mao Min saw the cupping marks on his back, and Mao Min was immediately stunned.
"???"
We agreed to take a bath, so why are we getting cupping done?
"No, what's wrong with these cupping marks?" Mao Min walked over and touched his back.
"Hey, I didn't want to pull it out, but Dafei insisted that I do it, and even said he was paying for it."
"How could I let him spend money? So I just paid for one myself, five yuan, it's okay," Zheng Ping said as he put on his clothes.
Mao Min didn't care whether or not she got cupping done, but the key issue was that she wasn't told beforehand.
This is a bit strange.
"Just cupping? What else did you do?" Mao Min asked, raising her eyebrows.
"I didn't do anything, what could I have done? Don't you know who I am?" Zheng Ping turned around and eagerly hugged Mao Min.
This was truly the longest they had been apart since they got married; it would be a lie to say they didn't miss each other.
"Don't give me that crap. You've already started taking baths and cupping. What are you planning to do next? Are you going to start going astray?" Mao Min grabbed his collar and threatened him.
"No, you have no idea how expensive that place is. It costs 108 yuan to go upstairs. Wouldn't it be better if I had that money for you to spend?" Zheng Ping shook his head repeatedly when the topic came up.
"You even asked the price?!"
Mao Min grabbed Zheng Ping's ear, furious.
What does it mean that 108 is too expensive?
You agreed if it was cheap, right?
"No, no, it was all Huang Fei who said it. We were just chatting. How could I dare to ask?" Zheng Ping cried out in pain, repeatedly explaining and begging for mercy.
"Remember this, next time, stay away from those shady places. Was the person who did your cupping a man or a woman?" Mao Min said, pulling his ear hard.
"Um... I didn't see clearly, so I lay down." Zheng Ping didn't dare say it was a woman, but he didn't dare lie either, so this was the only thing he could say.
"From now on, only men can pull it for you, you hear me!" Mao Min threatened, glaring at him.
"Okay, okay." Zheng Ping nodded quickly, seeing that the matter was finally about to pass.
It's all Huang Fei's fault. If it weren't for him, would he have gotten strangled by Mao Min?
"Alright, hurry up and eat." Mao Min saw that he had worked hard, so she gave him a stern talking-to and then let him off the hook.
Zheng Ping followed behind Mao Min, walking forward with his head down and eyes downcast. The two sat down at the table to eat.
"How did it go this time? Is it okay to travel so far?" Mao Min asked, as this was her biggest worry.
You've already suffered, haven't earned any money, and even spent money on travel expenses.
It's almost 400 yuan, Mao Min really feels the pinch.
"Hehe, here's the money." Zheng Ping was overjoyed when he mentioned it, and took the money out of his bag as if to ask for credit, and handed it to Mao Min.
"So much! How much is this?" Mao Min exclaimed in surprise, holding the money.
"This is over nine hundred yuan, not bad, right?" Zheng Ping said proudly.
“A lot, a lot indeed. I didn’t expect you to earn so much on this trip. Even after deducting Huang Fei’s travel expenses, you still have nearly six hundred yuan.”
"Four trips a month, that's two thousand four hundred! My goodness!" Mao Min was stunned by this income.
I used to only earn a few hundred yuan a month working in a small mine, but this time I'm going to a big mine and I can earn several hundred yuan in one go.
This place is really great!
"Two thousand four hundred?" Zheng Ping's mouth almost twisted to the sky when he heard this.
"This is what's left after paying Huang Fei's fare!"
Upon hearing this, Mao Min was completely dumbfounded.
"My God, what did you say? You still have so much money left after paying the fare? You're not kidding me, are you?" Mao Min really couldn't believe that she could earn so much money just by changing locations.
"Why would I lie to you? I didn't even expect this. Although that place was really tough, there was also a lot of goods. That old gold prospector really didn't lie to me."
"Our average daily earnings this time were at least 110, and the highest was Yin Xing, who made 156 a day. He found a small piece of gold, so he made the most."
"I'm in the middle, making a little over 120 yuan. That's what I earned after deducting all fees."
“At this rate, we can make three thousand a month. In just one year, we can pay off our debts and even buy a car in the future,” Zheng Ping said excitedly.
"This is wonderful, I didn't expect this place to be so nice."
"You said Yin Xing made the most this time, but what about Feng Zi? He didn't do as well as you guys. Was he just unlucky this time?" Mao Min suddenly thought to herself amidst her joy.
"Is he a normal person? We've all excluded him."
"He made three thousand this time, wow! He made two full bottles of silver. The Gold Rush Saint Body can't compare to that!" Zheng Ping exclaimed in amazement.
“I told you he definitely wouldn’t come back empty-handed, but it’s okay. We won’t compare ourselves to him. I’ll be content with three thousand a month. I’d be happy with two thousand, let alone three thousand,” Mao Min sighed.
"It's really tough. The weather there is much hotter than here. You'll be covered in sweat after just a short time outside."
"I had heatstroke and almost died. Luckily, Fengzi was there and saved my life." Zheng Ping was still scared when he thought about it.
"Ah, what happened?" Mao Min was immediately taken aback, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
She hoped Zheng Ping would earn more, but she didn't want it to be something he risked his life for.
If it's really that dangerous, then forget about it.
Zheng Ping told her the whole story, and Mao Min listened with great anxiety.
"It's my fault too. I wasn't prepared. I won't be reckless next time. I'll just bring more Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke) and everything will be fine." Zheng Ping knew she was worried, so he spoke up.
"Let me tell you, take it easy. Don't push yourself so hard next time. You're already confused and you still insist on doing it. Aren't you just risking your life?"
"I'm so young, I don't want to be a widow. If anything happens to you, I'll bring some other man to your grave and make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Mao Min threatened.
"Alright, alright, you're really ruthless." Zheng Ping chuckled at Mao Min's words.
Good grief, bringing a random man to her own grave to spite her—this isn't a move an ordinary woman would come up with.
Hey, wait a minute!
This plot... it's so similar to those Japanese adult films I've watched!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, I became the main character?
