Chapter 138: Chapter 138: When the Money’s Right, Everything Works
Liu Zheng gave a wicked smile, his eyes narrowing down to slits that oozed sleaze.
He also nodded slightly, then laid his daughter-in-law down on the bed and began to unbutton his shirt until the last one, tossing it onto the coffee table. All that was left now were his pants.
Soon enough, his daughter-in-law’s pants were thrown onto his clothes too.
And to his surprise, his daughter-in-law actually displayed her own expertise.
At that moment, she said to Liu Zheng, "Dad, go get some hot water. I can’t say for sure, but it might just make you ’rise to the occasion’."
Liu Zheng thought to himself, damn, she’s not a hooker, he’d never believe it. Yet, Liu Zheng actually went and got a cup of hot water for her.
Then he had another idea.
"Dad, do we have any ice at home? I saw online that this trick can have a big effect on treating impotence. It might just cure yours."
Liu Zheng felt insulted, as if to say he had a disease.
He wouldn’t admit it; it was just that he had been in a foul mood these past few days, and he was getting on in years, which was why he lacked the vigor.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He felt his daughter-in-law had hit a raw nerve, and in response, he slapped her across the face, saying, "Next time you serve me, don’t talk such nonsense."
But unlike the first time, Zhao Cuihua didn’t resist as she had before. Instead, covering her face, she gazed up at him with misty eyes and giggled, saying, "I just love your macho vibe."
That laughter made Liu Shengli feel a sense of conquest. Suddenly, he felt a surge of power concentrating below his dantian, as if ants were crawling there.
It seems that there really was a way to treat his impotence, and that method was his desire to dominate.
Without hesitation, he flipped over and ran straight to the kitchen without even putting on his pants, grabbed a bottle of mineral water frozen in the refrigerator, and tossed it in front of his daughter-in-law, saying, "Come on, I know what game you want to play. Isn’t it just a mix of ice and fire?
I’ve played it before, but it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed it.
I never thought I’d come across it with you, let’s give it a try!"
Immediately, Zhao Cuihua didn’t hesitate, took a sip of hot water, then asked her father-in-law to lie down on the bed before she leaned in with her head. And Liu Zheng suddenly experienced a sense of fullness that enveloped his entire body.
Suddenly, he felt full of energy.
This transformation was also captured by his daughter-in-law.
Zhao Cuihua spat the water in her mouth onto the floor and said, "See, I told you it would work."
But just as she was about to take it one step further, Liu Zheng stopped her.
At that moment, Liu Zheng pointed to his ’Golden Cudgel’ and said, "This golden rod should shine at both ends.
But right now, it’s only shining at one.
And I don’t like it just shining like this; otherwise, it might surrender very soon.
So why don’t you use the ice water on me a couple more times and let me feel that long-lost mix of ice and fire?"
Zhao Cuihua rolled up her hair and said, "Sure, no problem. As long as you can ’rise to the challenge,’ I’m sure I can be satisfied.
I’ve heard people say how back in the village, you’d keep several lonely wives screaming all night long.
But I never got to see for myself. Is today the day I get lucky?"
"Hehe, before all of that were just legends. Now things aren’t like before, but for a little wench like you who wants to play, making a racket is still no problem. Just get yourself ready."
Without thinking, Zhao Cuihua twisted open the bottle cap and took a gulp of water, then leaned closer to the Golden Cudgel.
After the Golden Cudgel rotated once in her Eastern Sea Dragon Grip, it appeared even more firm than before.
Zhang Cuihua’s lips then curled into a sly smile, and he straightened up and began to fiddle with the Golden Cudgel...
Liu Zheng felt a surge of warmth, then he covered himself with the blanket.
The next day, when he got up, Liu Zheng felt sore all over. Probably because he had exerted himself too much the day before, he didn’t follow through with his original plan but lay in his daughter-in-law’s bed instead.
He turned his head to look at Zhao Cuihua. Right now, he didn’t seem filled with the usual resentment but rather appeared satisfied. The great battle of the night before had worn them both out significantly.
Perhaps it was because there was anger in his heart, or maybe because Zhao Cuihua hadn’t received any auspiciousness for a long time, you exerted extra effort last night.
But Liu Zheng’s body was not what it used to be, and after the intense activity of the previous night, he had no desire to make breakfast. Usually, his daughter-in-law cooked for him, but today he didn’t want to cook for his daughter-in-law, so he went to a breakfast shop in the village.
His eyes were dark and baggy, making it obvious to anyone that he hadn’t rested well. But coincidentally, this was when he ran into Liu Zheng, who was also out to buy breakfast.
After the two met, Liu Zheng felt that this Liu Zheng was a bit off.
After all, he had studied traditional Chinese medicine.
The state Liu Zheng was in was clearly indicative of kidney deficiency, but he just gave Liu Zheng a nod, scarcely more than a gesture.
Liu Zhengzheng and Liu Zheng didn’t get along. Seeing Liu Zheng, he said nothing.
Instead, he hurried a few steps and blocked Liu Zheng’s path.
Liu Zheng felt that this guy, Liu Zheng, was clearly out for revenge, but he didn’t engage with him, and they both ended up at the breakfast stall, one in front of the other.
Liu Zheng struck up a conversation with the breakfast shop owner, Zhang Ruijun, hands clasped behind his back.
Zhang Ruijun had never been particularly fond of him, and they exchanged a few words about everyday matters.
Just as the conversation was running dry, Old Zhang quickly asked, "What would you like to eat? You didn’t come here just to chat with me, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, Liu Zheng’s stomach began to grumble, and he replied, "Give me two pieces of deep-fried dough sticks, and a bowl of tofu pudding."
Zhang Ruijun looked into the pot and saw only a bit of tofu pudding left, and responded, "This might not be enough for a bowl. Do you still want it?"
Right then, Liu Zhengzheng came in, oblivious to the situation, took a seat on the stool, and said, "Give me a bowl of tofu pudding."
Liu Zheng, seeing that Liu Zheng wanted some, deliberately picked a quarrel, saying, "I was here first, give me that tofu pudding."
"But there’s only enough for one bowl left, do you still want it?"
Liu Zheng saw this old guy was intentionally picking a fight with him and simply waved his hand, saying, "It’s fine, give it to him. Mr. Mayor, you must have been up late working overtime last night."
Though Zhang Ruijun was just a breakfast vendor, he was quite the gossip.
But once he heard Liu Zheng’s words, he started to guess.
"This Old Village Chief doesn’t really have much to be busy with; affairs of the village are usually handled by the younger brothers of a few prominent families. And it’s not like this is some big city where speaking of overtime is commonplace, that’s pretty much nonsense.
Considering the recent village gossip about the Village Chief’s daughter-in-law who’s been dressing rather provocatively in the village, I can imagine last night Old Village Chief and his daughter-in-law sang and celebrated all night long."
