681 Exhausted to Death in Three Days
As soon as He Ning arrived at Wang Qin’s house, there was a frown on his face. He instantly felt that the 100 dollars was a huge loss to him.
“Come in and take a look! I’ve already tidied up this room,” Wang Qin said warmly.
Huo Gao went in with the luggage to clean the brick bed first. Then, he tidied up the surface items and changed all the bedsheets and blankets.
He was originally a doctor, but he had become He Ning’s nanny on this trip. When they returned, he would definitely ask He Ning for more money! He definitely could not work for nothing.
“I gave you so much money, so you have to treat me well. I want to eat meat for every meal,” He Ning said nicely.
Wang Qin was stunned for a moment before she agreed to He Ning’s request. She had originally wanted to serve He Ning dishes like cabbages and potatoes and just make do.
If she wanted to buy meat, she had to exchange for meat coupons. This way, she would not make as much money as she had calculated at the beginning.
“No problem. I’ll definitely make the best food for you,” Wang Qin said.
“I want to eat by myself. I won’t eat with your entire family. There must be at least three dishes and a soup every day. All my leftovers have to be thrown out and I don’t want any repeat dishes. The dishes must be different every day. I only eat breakfast and dinner every day. You don’t have to worry about my lunch,” He Ning said indifferently.
Wang Qin could only agree to He Ning’s request. After all, she was paid 100 dollars a day! If she served He Ning well, it would not be a dream for her to earn 3,000 dollars a month! After deducting the money from buying meat, there would still be a lot left. Then, her entire family would be able to go to the county city to live a good life!
She no longer wanted to look after such a big family in this dilapidated village. Ever since Qiao Yu returned, she had no status at home.
Even her elder son did not talk to her anymore. It was Qiao Zhuang who taught her son to do that. On the surface, Qiao Zhuang was very polite to her and did not ask her to do household chores. She also still had a say at home. In reality, Qiao Zhuang had long wanted to chase her away.
She was an experienced accountant. Even if she went to the county city, she could still make a living. Qiao Fu was also smart and strong. He could work at any factory. Her elder son was about to grow up and would soon be able to earn money to support the family. Her younger daughter did not need a lot of money.
She had endured all the humiliation in order to save money to settle down in the county city. Now that there was He Ning, her wish was about to come true.
Before she left, she must see Qiao Mei’s reputation ruined, and she also wanted to return all the hardships and grievances she had suffered to Qiao Mei!
“Don’t worry, I’ll make whatever you want to eat. However, we’re in a remote village and there’s nothing much that’s very good here. Please bear with me,” Wang Qin said.
He Ning nodded and went into the room to get ready to rest. Before he entered, he even told Wang Qin that it was time to make dinner. Wang Qin went to the pork seller, Wang Wu’s house to exchange for some meat and then to her own vegetable field to pick a lot of vegetables.
It was her first time cooking for He Ning, so she must make a few of her best dishes to let He Ning know that it was not a loss to him to spend this amount of money! If he felt happy and wanted to stay for a few more days, then she could get more money.
“How many days are we going to stay here?” Huo Gao said awkwardly as he looked at the spider webs on the roof.
He Ning frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Let’s stay for five days first. I’ll try to get the ginseng from Qiao Mei within five days.”
Huo Gao had thought that he would only be in Foshan Village for three days. He reckoned that his wife would definitely reprimand him when he returned home this time.
Being with He Ning, he could be exhausted to death in three days.
“It’s not so easy to get a 100-year-old ginseng. Have you thought about what to do if Qiao Mei really doesn’t have it anymore?” Huo Gao asked.
They had to make plans for this matter early. They could not just wait until Qiao Mei found the 100-year-old ginseng before they returned to the capital, right? There were still many issues waiting for them in the capital.
“There’s no hurry. It’s rare for me to come out and relax. Don’t worry, I’ll give you more money. When we get back, get your wife to come to my house to take something. Just take whatever you like,” He Ning said indifferently.
Huo Gao nodded in satisfaction. Such compensation was acceptable to him. It would appease his wife’s anger and earn him money at the same time. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
“I’m talking about ginseng. I’m not asking for what you said,” Huo Gao said politely.
He Ning stared into Huo Gao’s eyes and said, “If you don’t want it, take it that I haven’t said anything.”
