Wu An casually remarked, "Upstairs is a foot massage parlor."
Aqing couldn't accept it anymore.
It's better not to wash these feet.
Wu An didn't say much, letting A Qing remain innocent and naive, which was fine.
The two did not stay long.
I simply took a shower, changed into new clothes, and came out.
If they stay in the water any longer, given their mental state, they might end up sleeping for most of the day if you're not careful.
After coming out.
"Let's go buy some things and go home first."
The two arrived at the largest supermarket in town.
They sold a lot of food and drinks, as well as some fruits that weren't available locally. Aqing also bought some to take back to his mother to try.
After spending some money, I felt much better.
No wonder women spend money when they're unhappy; spending money is really fun!
"Let's go home."
On the way back, the two of them carried bags and pockets full of money and cell phones. Although they were hot and tired, they both had smiles on their faces.
I'm so happy!
Not to mention that he bought so many things, Wu An still has more than five thousand yuan in his pocket.
...
On the other side.
After tidying up the house, Mei Yueqin would usually take a walk in the vegetable garden to pick the old vegetables, chop them up, and mix them with feed to feed the chickens.
With the chickens gone, I can finally relax a bit.
But she can't stay idle.
It was also because the family was short of money. There were still many days until Wu Ping and Wu Yingwei were to receive their salaries, and even if they did receive their salaries, there wouldn't be much left for her.
He was carrying a thermos containing egg pancakes.
When she arrived at the old house, no one was home. She assumed Wu An had gone to the beach and hadn't returned yet, so she left the thermos inside and went straight to the dock to see if she could find some work.
Then I heard everyone talking about how they went beachcombing in the mudflats yesterday, and although they were exhausted, they didn't catch anything good.
"It seems Wu An didn't gain anything either."
"I bought it from Lao Xie today. Lao Xie said Wu An didn't come to sell goods today."
"That's normal. No one can be that lucky every day."
"Being able to earn money to pay off the loan sharks is all thanks to the blessing of Mazu. What more could I ask for?"
"Wu An didn't go beachcombing yesterday; he went fishing instead."
"That's even less reliable."
"At least you can make some money by beachcombing, but fishing is like raising fish, it's just a waste of bait."
"Wu An has gotten too cocky. He really thinks money is so easy to make."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Mei Yueqin was so worried that she couldn't go home until noon. Just as she arrived at the old house, she saw Wu An walking over from the other side with large and small bags.
Wu An also saw her and quickly greeted her.
Mei Yueqin walked over and saw that Wu An's eyes were bloodshot: "Didn't sleep all night again?"
"Are we heading to town?"
"You can't keep pushing yourself like this, or you'll ruin your health."
Wu An smiled and said, "It's alright. I slept for five or six hours last night. I'll catch up on my sleep later."
"Perfect timing, you're here."
"I bought a lot of things, all for you, your brother, and Dad. You can take them with you later, so I won't deliver them to you."
Mei Yueqin helped him carry his things, saying, "Don't buy anything unnecessary, we have everything at home."
“I just came from the dock. I heard that everyone went to the mudflats to catch seafood, but no one caught much.”
Wu An casually replied, "Yes."
"I didn't join in the fun; I took Aqing fishing instead."
Mei Yueqin quickly said, "Making money isn't something that happens overnight; it's something that's earned slowly."
"As long as you learn well, it doesn't matter how much you earn."
"Don't push yourself too hard."
Wu An nodded, went inside and drank a large glass of water to recover, then took out his phone and money from his pocket: "Sister-in-law, this is for you, what do you think?"
“Look at your phone, the screen is cracked beyond recognition, and it’s still a semi-smartphone.”
"And this money..."
“I’ve done a lot of crazy things since I came back from school, and my family must have spent a lot of money cleaning up after me.”
"This is all I have right now, you can take it."
“I know the Chen family is causing trouble. My family has taken out money and even let the Chen family take away the chickens. You can use the money to catch chicks to raise and buy meat to eat.”
The fact that all the chickens in the house have been taken away means that the family is really broke and probably doesn't even have money to buy meat!
Mei Yueqin stared at the phone and a wad of cash in her hand, stunned for a moment before she reacted: "No, I don't need such a good phone."
"Take the money back."
"It's only right that your family helps you."
Wu An deliberately asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't want the money because you think it's ill-gotten?"
Mei Yueqin quickly shook her head: "Of course not."
Wu An said, "Yesterday, A Qing and I went fishing. We were lucky and caught a lot of fish. This money came from selling the fish."
"You said it's only right that my family helps me."
"I'm twenty now, not a child anymore, shouldn't I start contributing to the family income?"
"Or is it that you still won't forgive me?"
“You child…” Mei Yueqin was naturally unable to resist and said, “Fine, I’ll keep the money and deposit it for you. You can take it whenever you need it.”
Wu An didn't say much.
He wouldn't ask for the money he'd given to his sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law can save it if she wants; the money will just keep growing, and once it reaches a certain amount, she definitely won't be reluctant to spend it.
He saw the insulated box on the table, opened it to find it contained egg pancakes, quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, saying as he ate, "Delicious."
Mei Yueqin smiled broadly and said, "Come over for dinner tonight."
Wu An hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"I want to eat braised pork."
"I also want to eat your beef ball and radish soup."
He had to say it; otherwise, Mei Yueqin would probably save all the money she received and wouldn't be willing to sell her body.
After finishing the egg pancake, Wu An let out a burp, then yawned.
Mei Yueqin packed up the insulated box and said, "Go to sleep now."
Wu An didn't say much.
Watching Mei Yueqin walk away, and seeing her fiddling with her phone as she went, Wu An couldn't help but smile. The debt he owed was being repaid little by little.
That's great.
All the hard work and physical aches and pains seemed insignificant at this moment.
I glanced at the system; I had eight luck points left.
No rush.
He said he'd talk about it after he woke up, because he was afraid that staying up like this would ruin his health.
...
On the other side.
Li Juan was cooking when Aqing ran excitedly into the kitchen and pulled out a wad of cash: "Mom, this is the money I earned fishing last night."
Li Juan wiped her hands with her apron, picked up the money and counted it: "A thousand? How come there's so much?"
Aqing scratched his head: "I caught a lot of fish."
"My brother and I didn't stop for more than two hours."
"But it exhausted us both."
Li Juan didn't know what to say. How could she earn so much in just over two hours? When did money become so easy to make?
She asked, "Then why did it take you so long to get back?"
Aqing pulled her into the main room, lifted the cloth covering the sofa, and said, "Ta-da, look at these."
"My brother and I went to town to sell fish and bought some other things on the way back."
"Mom, this is for you, this is too, and this one..."
As Aqing was showing off, she waited for a while and then saw that Li Juan was covering her mouth and her face was covered with tears.
He called out, "Mom, why are you crying again?"
Li Juan wiped away her tears: "Mom is happy."
