The electric scooter’s battery was low, so they rode slowly for nearly an hour before the father and daughter stood before their own door.

Turning the key, they opened the door, and a delicious aroma of cooking greeted them.

“Mom!—’

“It smells great, what yummy food did you make?”

-All you think about is eating, one glutton leading another.” Li Jinwen teased with a laugh, following it up by bringing out the prepared dishes from the kitchen and setting them on the dining table.

Three dishes and a soup, both sumptuous and tasty.

“Really smells good.”

Lin Mo sat at the dining table and complimented, but somehow couldn’t brmg himself to pick up his chopsticks.

No helping it,

With a corpse on his mind, who could eat!

After washing her hands, Lin Xiaoxiao started eating with gusto, ceaselessly buttering up Li Jinwen.

Li Jinwen noticed Lin Mo’s unusual behavior, “Husband, what’s wrong, no appetite?”

“Ah, I’m fine.”

“Who are you trying to fool, you don’t look fine, by the way, didn’t you say you were going to buy some antiques today? Did you end up buying them? I didn’t see any money deducted, just a charge for 1400.

“Ah, it’s a long story!”

“So what happened exactly?”

“Xiaoxiao, after you finish eating, go to your room and do your homework,

what are you spacing out for.”

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, she wanted to hear the story too.

But she also knew that she shouldn’t get involved in adults’ matters, “Got it!” After Lin Xiaoxiao left, only Lin Mo and Li Jinwen remained in the living room.

Lin Mo sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, stop asking, I’ll just tell you the whole story from the beginning.”

“I’ve had quite an eventful day!”

“It all starts with an old lady who was knocked over by a garbage can………………………. ”

-This morning, I encountered an old lady who had fallen, covered in dirt and with a swollen leg. Out of kindness, I took her home….”

“This shirt I’m wearing is what the old lady gave me.

“Oh, right.”

“Let me have a drink of water first; you check how much money is in there.”

After briefly recounting his morning’s ordeal of taking Zhang Guilin back home, Lin Mo took out the red envelope from his fishing tackle box and handed it to Li Jinwen.

Li Jinwen opened the red envelope, revealing two neat stacks of one hundred yuan bills, and exclaimed in surprise, “This… twenty thousand yuan! That old lady gave this to you?”

-How could that be, even if she did, I couldn’t accept it.” Lin Mo put down his glass and shook his head as he explained, “This money is from the antique seller as a thank you for my help.”

“Selling antiques?”

Li Jinwen was somewhat confused.

“Don’t rush, the specifics are like this….”

Lin Mo then described his encounter with Wang Erbo to Li Jinwen, omitting any mention of the Intelligence System, saying it was just advice from a wise person nearby that led him to try to seize the opportunity, but he couldn’t harden his heart when he saw Wang Erbo was raising the money to save his daughter.

Upon hearing that her husband missed out on nearly two hundred thousand yuan, Li Jinwen showed a face full of regret but still gave a thumbs-up and said, “Husband, you did the right thing.”

-That was lifesaving money; it truly would be a bit soulless to make money off that.”

“By the way, you keep mentioning some wise person, who is it? Male or female?”

“They’ve helped us so many times, shouldn’t we invite them for a meal to express our gratitude properly?”

Who was this wise person?

The Intelligence System!

Of course, Lin Mo had no intention of telling his wife about the system. -Um, that wise person is a client I helped move before, I ran into them recently, and we had a good chat. They taught me a lot about antiques. The old gentleman is quite old and doesn’t like to go out for meals.”

• •We’ll visit him someday when there’s a chance, I’ll bring you and Xiaoxiao along.”

To avoid further questioning from his wife, Lin Mo shifted the topic and continued, “Okay, those two minor issues out of the way, now let me tell you how I fished a corpse out of the river.”

Huh?

A corpse fished out of the river?

When the topic was brought up, Li Jinwen’s expression turned extremely

surprised.

What’s this all about?

“Yes, a corpse, you heard it right. While others catch dead fish, your husband has a knack for catching dead bodies!”

“What do you mean? You went fishing?”

“Let me tell you the story in detail!”

Lin Mo took a sip of water and recounted the event without haste.

He omitted the part about the Intelligence System, just saying that the expert wanted to eat fish from Mingyuan Lake. He initially planned to buy fish for the expert, but later felt that catching it himself would be more meaningful. He never expected to end up fishing out a body.

Lin Mo’s description of the corpse was very vivid,

not that he was particularly good at storytelling, but because the memory was still fresh in his mind,

the moment he closed his eyes, the image of the bloated, waterlogged body would sway before him.

Spinning left, then right, it was incredibly frightening.

Not only was Lin Mo nearly nauseous from speaking about it, but Li Jinwen also turned a shade of pale green from listening.

“Enough, enough, it’s too scary, I don’t want to hear anymore!

Li Jinwen shook her head, trying hard to forget the detailed description her husband just gave about the body, especially the part about the unknown little bugs crawling out of the decaying skin.

It gave her goosebumps all over, you know!

“Quick, take a bath, take a bath! Ahh! How could this happen!”

Li Jinwen quickly stood up and walked to the bathroom door but hesitated for a long time without daring to enter. She turned her head back to Lin Mo and said, “Husband, come here for a second.”

Lin Mo was tidying up the dishes and asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong?”

“Just come here.”

“Coming, coming.”

Lin Mo dried his hands and walked over, still puzzled, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I… I… I’m scared…” Li Jinwen said with a flushed face and in a low voice, “I’ll wash the dishes tomorrow, wash with me.”

“Sure, no problem,” Lin Mo said with a laugh. “We’re husband and wife; it’s just a bath we’re talking about. Do you really need to blush over that?”

Smack…

Lin Mo felt a foot stepping on his own, bringing a piercing pain.

Li Jinwen said huffily, “Do you think I’m blushing out of shyness? I’m terrified because of your story…”

“I hate you! If you’re going to tell it, then tell it, but why go into such gruesome detail!”

Bearing the pain, Lin Mo put his hands together and kept whispering apologies: “Sorry, sorry, keep it down, Xiaoxiao is doing her homework.” “Let’s bathe, let’s bathe. I’ll scrub your back!”

After the bath, they tidied up the living room and then returned to the bedroom, lying down on the bed.

Li Jinwen turned over restlessly and punched Lin Mo, complaining, “1 hate it! Now whenever I close my eyes, all I see is the corpse you described!” “Ah…” Lin Mo sighed, feeling helpless, “Isn’t that the same for me? I think I’m going to suffer from insomnia tonight!”

“Husband, think of a topic quick. We’ll get sleepy as we chat along, it’ll distract our minds!”

-Er… what should we talk about? Do you like to listen to ‘Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio’?”

-Lin Mo, if you scare me again, I swear it won’t end well for you!!!”

-Haha, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I was just joking. I do have a serious topic to discuss, and it’s about our future.

-What, what? Tell me!” Li Jinwen sat up instantly, her energy renewed.

“I was thinking of discussing with you the idea of opening a lottery shop,” Lin Mo said seriously, looking at Li Jinwen with a hopeful expression. “Lottery shops are good. They require little investment, don’t need a large storefront, and there’s no great performance pressure.”

“Since you quit last time and have been talking about finding a job recently, once the lottery shop is open, you’ll be the lady boss! Being your own boss lets you take care of Xiaoxiao too.”

“So, lady boss, what do you think of my idea?”
