章 48: Chapter 48: Testing the Waters with an Iron Rod

"Tsk, what's money between us? If you ever want to go fishing at sea, just tell me, and I'll take you," Brother Zhao Jun immediately refused, feeling too embarrassed to take money for such a short trip.

However, he failed to notice that his wife's expression seemed a bit off.

Chu Mingcheng, of course, took note of this. Even if the bridge was close by, fuel was still needed, and he would have to leave his work to go, which could cause delays.

But if money was offered, the nature of the event changed, turning Zhao Jun's boating into a paying job, so his wife wouldn't have any reason to complain about the delay in household chores.

And it would also set a precedent for future occasions, making things easier for everyone.

If no money was taken, Chu Mingcheng would feel too embarrassed to ask him for another favor in the future.
