“Are you complaining that it’s too much?” She pretended to take it back, “If you think it’s too much, give it back to me.”
“I’m not giving it back.” He pocketed the five precious copper coins, “Five copper coins are not enough for a visit to a prostitute…”
She gave him a glance, “With your status, do you even think you can afford an expensive prostitute?”
“I heard that even the cheapest prostitute charges thirty copper coins per time…” he mumbled.
She casually looked at him, “Have you been with one before?”
“I’ve never had the money to visit one.” He honestly said, “It was Ding Er from the village who told me that a visit to a prostitute costs at least thirty copper coins… The prettier they are, the more expensive.”
She asked, “So the younger they are, the more expensive too?” “I guess so.” He said, “Five copper coins definitely won’t be enough for a visit.”
“Then go for the older ones.” She suggested, “For example, the ugly
15-year-olds cost thirty copper coins, the 20-year-olds cost twenty-five, the 25-year-olds cost twenty…and so on. The ugly 40-year-olds may charge only five copper coins.”
‘ He remained silent.
“What’s the matter?” She asked concerned, “You don’t want to? No need to be picky, didn’t you say you’re a country bumpkin? These prostitutes at least operate in the town, better than having none in the village.”
“You’re the one who called me a country bumpkin…” He scoffed, ‘You’re nothing more than a dead village woman.”
She shrugged, “I never said I wasn’t.”
He pocketed the five copper coins and moved closer to her, trying to hug her,
“Get lost.” She pushed him away, “Don’t touch me. I gave you the money to go see a prostitute. Don’t say it’s not enough. I’ve already calculated it for you. Just find an old and ugly one, if you can’t find one in their forties, try those in their fifties or sixties…”
Upon hearing this, his thick black eyebrows knitted together, “Wife, you’re underestimating me.” He pointed at his own face, ‘Wife, look at how handsome I am, the envy of many village girls and women.”
She glanced at his face, “Indeed, you have fair skin, a bit of heroism in your looks, and a touch of sunshine. Quite good-looking. I’m not denying that there are indeed girls and women in the village who like you.” She knew that both Liu Xianglian and Shi Shanzao liked him.
“So you see,” Xiao Yuchuan spoke the truth, “If I really want to get with any village girl or woman, there are willing candidates in the village. I don’t even need to spend the five copper coins…”
“Give me back my five cents…” She wanted her money back.
He quickly pocketed the five copper coins into his sleeve pocket and kissed the coins before, “The money my wife gives me is sweet, I’m not going to visit a prostitute. I’m a good man, I just want to cheat out some private money. Wife, didn’t you complain that I have no private money? Now I have five cents…”
‘ She fell silent for a moment, “Seeing how hard you tried to swindle, I will give you the five cents as a gift. It’s enough to buy almost half a jin of pork, not bad.”
“Hmm.” He agreed. It’s good enough that his wife had money; a man shouldn’t have too much money on him.
She stared at him, her bright starry gaze scanning him up and down like a scanner, ‘Who have you slept with in the village? Which girl have you been with? Be honest.”
Hearing her words, he felt delighted, his bright white teeth revealed in a wide grin, “Wife, are you jealous?”
“No,” Her facial expression remained natural, and she said with a smile,
