Before they could ask Zhu Ting to stay, Su Yan said to Hua Min, "Mom, I'm busy with my manuscript lately, so I might not be able to come over for dinner."

"Rushing for a manuscript? Rushing for what manuscript?"

"I submitted a novel to a newspaper. I used to get four yuan per thousand words, but now they pay me six yuan per thousand words."

Her novel became a hit, and the newspaper increased her royalties. Her elder brother's royalties for translation seemed to be three yuan per thousand words, and translation was much more difficult than writing novels, so such work was not common.

Everyone at the table looked at Su Yan in disbelief. Hua Min asked her, "Which newspaper do you write novels for, and what's your pen name?"

Su Yan didn't want to say it at first, but if she didn't use writing novels as an excuse, people would definitely talk about her if she didn't come to dinner.

"My pen name is Yun Zhongjun, and I'm currently writing novels for Guangming Daily."

Lu Jin looked at Su Yan strangely, "Sister-in-law, you wrote the story about the real and fake daughter? No wonder you have it in every issue of the newspaper."

"Yes, to avoid unnecessary trouble, could you please not tell anyone else about my novel writing?"

"Why?"

"I'm still in school. What if my classmates find out and come to me every day to discuss the storyline? Will I have to write according to their wishes?"

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't tell my classmates about your novel. Can you tell me the latest chapters?"

"The latest chapters have been sent out, but I can show you the original manuscript."

Lu Ting was stunned. He hadn't expected the much-discussed author, Yun Zhongjun, to be his wife. At six yuan per thousand words, his wife's monthly fee was significantly higher than his salary.

His wife is so outstanding and good at making money, he is destined to live off her for the rest of his life. By the way, the bowl of soft rice his wife handed to him is quite delicious!

Being able to marry Su Yan must be because he had done good deeds in his previous life, which is why he received such blessings in this life.
