Yu Qing, who was at work, received a message from Ye Nai that scared her so much she immediately made a call.
"What happened? Why did you take that job? Didn't you say it was very dangerous?"
"Need to make money, or where would I get twenty thousand to pay for your settling-in fee?" Compared to her mother's anxiety, Ye Nai's tone was calm, as if she was accustomed to life and death situations.
Yu Qing thought about what Ye Nai had said at the dinner table, how moving trash required paying a third of the income to the local tyrant, along with bad weather and necessary rest, slashing the monthly income of nine or ten thousand on paper by half, making the actual take-home pay only four to five thousand.
