When Liu Hua saw her friend’s smile, she shuddered, thinking a lot of people were definitely going to be in trouble.
After discussing the important matters, Liu Hua finally took her leave and returned home. She still needed to have dinner with her husband and son.
Not long after she left, Lu Cheng returned from the town. Seeing his wife waiting for him, he smiled and said in delight, "Wife, I’m home."
Glancing at her husband, Wang Muxiao replied, "I thought you would spend the night outside." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Noticing his wife’s bad mood, Lu Cheng’s survival instincts kicked in instantly. He walked over, squatted beside her, and reached out to rub her back while explaining, "Wife, why would I spend the night outside when I have my wife and children waiting for me at home?"
Feeling the soreness in her back ease from her husband’s rubbing, Wang Muxiao’s annoyance lessened. She poured a cup of water for him and asked, "What were you doing in town that took you so long to come back?"
Lu Cheng drank the water before replying, "Wife, I went to find Brother Houzi."
Narrowing her eyes, Wang Muxiao asked, "Are you planning to go to the mountain without telling me again?"
Before Lu Cheng could reply, she added, "How many times do I have to tell you? Do you know how dangerous the mountain is? If you want to go, at least take the eldest brother or the Li brothers with you! With your ability, if you encounter a wild boar, even if you don’t die, you will lose a layer of skin ah!"
Being scolded by his wife, Lu Cheng didn’t feel wronged or despised at all. Instead, he felt happy that his wife was worried about him.
"Wife, I promise, I won’t go to the mountain alone. This time, I went to find Brother Houzi for another matter," he said with a grin.
Glaring at him, Wang Muxiao asked, "What matters? Lu Cheng, it’s fine for us to earn money in the black market, but if you dare to do anything dangerous, I will pack my clothes and return to my parents’ house with our children!"
Startled by her warning, Lu Cheng quickly said, "Wife, please don’t! If you go back, I won’t be able to sleep at night!"
After saying this, he closed the windows, locked the door, and took out a package wrapped in old cloth from his clothes.
Seeing how careful her husband was, Wang Muxiao asked curiously, "Husband, what are you hiding? Why are you acting so mysterious?"
Lu Cheng smiled and unwrapped the cloth, revealing neatly stacked money and coupons inside.
When Wang Muxiao saw this, her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. Pointing at the money, she stammered, "T-this… Where did you get this money?!"
Knowing she would be shocked, Lu Cheng wrapped the money back up and said, "Wife, let’s talk about it in the room."
