After saying that, and with a smile to Charlie she said: “Charlie, you went out for several days, you must be exhausted, right, come, hurry to the sofa to rest!”
Claire felt the difference, and although she was a little helpless, she didn’t bother to argue with her mother, so she took out her phone, opened the takeaway app, and started looking for food.
Elaine hurriedly greeted Charlie to sit down on the sofa, and asked for tea and water, Charlie several times said he’s not in a mood. She was unwilling to give up, went on crutches to brew a cup for him.
After handing the brewed tea to him, she smiled and asked, “Charlie, how about going to Eastcliff this time? Did everything go well?”
“Pretty smooth.” Charlie replied casually.
Elaine was busy asking, “Hey, you should have made a lot of money this time too!”
Charlie casually said, “The employer this time, had hand a little tight, so he did not pay.”
“Huh?” Elaine heard this, immediately filled with righteous indignation: “What kind of person is this? If you don’t have money, don’t ask people to work! He gave you work and he did not pay, this is too much!”
Charlie laughed: “He didn’t pay, but I got something in return.”
Elaine’s eyes that had just dimmed suddenly brightened up again and asked, “Good son-in-law, tell me how the employer paid off the bill?”
Charlie casually opened the handbag he was carrying and took out a gold brick from it first.
Elaine saw the golden brick and said with surprise: “Oh my God! Goldbrick! It says 1,000… Oh my God, 1,000 grams!”
Saying that, she quickly came back to her senses and said offhandedly, “The price of gold seems to be around four hundred, so this piece is only 400,000 ah ……”
Charlie then took out another piece, stacked with the previous one, and said, “It’s not like he only gave one piece.”
Elaine clapped her hands happily: “Oops! There’s more!”
