Chapter 9 Am I a Brother-Supporting Demon?

"Who is it? It really is!"

After calming down, Dong Shuxiang sighed with relief, "At least I got the money back."

We absolutely have to hold onto our money tightly.

Ji Huaizhi took three days of paid leave due to debt collection and moving, which happened to coincide with the company's layoffs, causing dissatisfaction within the company.

He was the first to discuss compensation.

The original owner actually did quite well at work.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have discussed an annual salary of around 450,000 yuan with the company. Now that the company is not doing well and knows he bought a house, instead of laying him off, they reduced his salary.

After all, pressured cattle and horses can be exploited at will.

Salary cut in half, workload increased.

The difference is quite significant. They assumed that now that Ji Huaizhi has bought a house, and the company is asking for a pay cut, Ji Huaizhi would agree without hesitation.

But to my surprise, he refused outright.

They attributed this to the fact that Ji Huaizhi doesn't have children yet, so the pressure isn't great enough.

We had no choice but to discuss compensation.

Just like the original owner, once the work handover is completed, there's no need to come to the company anymore.

Although Ji Huaizhi had prepared Dong Shuxiang mentally beforehand, she was still a little flustered when she was laid off.

Fearing that Ji Huaizhi would be upset and unable to accept it, she pretended to be fine and continued to comfort him.

“It’s okay, my husband is so capable, if this place doesn’t work out, we’ll just find another company!”

Dong Shuxiang held Ji Huaizhi's hand: "Although the current economic climate is not good, you have the ability to switch to a larger company."

"And I can afford to delay my salary, it's just that the two of us will have to be a little strapped for cash."

Ji Huaizhi grasped her hand in return: "Don't worry, I won't give up."

Dong Shuxiang smiled faintly upon hearing his words.

As long as they don't give up on themselves, that's fine.

When Ji Huaizhi left the company, everyone watched his departing figure.

Those who remained were those who accepted the pay cut, and they looked at Ji Huaizhi with envy.

However, the pressure at home doesn't allow them to be so carefree.

After losing his job, Ji Huaizhi devoted himself entirely to writing.

I even made a schedule for myself.

Although Dong Shuxiang felt that writing novels was unreliable, she still encouraged Ji Huaizhi, even though all those words might end up being for nothing.

But as long as he's willing to do it and doesn't give up on himself, that's fine.

The family can still afford to let him make mistakes.

When Dong Shuxiang returned home that day, she found that Ji Huaizhi had cooked several sumptuous dishes.

When she came out carrying a bowl of soup, she was still wearing her pink apron.

"What a special day it is today! Why such a lavish feast?"

Ji Huaizhi's eyes were clearly smiling: "Wash your hands first, we'll talk during dinner."

Dong Shuxiang's eyes lit up, as if she had guessed what it was.

He hurriedly went to wash his hands and serve the rice.

Ji Huaizhi specially opened a bottle of champagne, which was a gift from Dong Shuxiang's friend when the two moved to their new home.

"During the previous recommendation period, the platform didn't give me much traffic, only 30 yuan a day. I thought this was all the book could do, but I didn't expect the platform to give me 30,000 views today. Today's daily income broke the record of 300 yuan."

This return wasn't actually very high for either of them before.

But things are always getting better. As long as there are benefits, Ji Huaizhi can continue writing.

Don't panic too much during this period of unemployment.

"Really?" Dong Shuxiang encouraged him, "Honey, you're amazing! You're making money with your first book. I checked online, and many people only start earning money after writing a million words."

"You are the chosen one."

Ji Huaizhi couldn't help but laugh at how much face she was giving him.

Dong Shuxiang's personality is like a little sun.

She always manages to see something different even in terrible situations.

Her passionate and optimistic nature was what the original owner envied most.

She might let go of feelings she can't easily give up.

Ji Huaizhi couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her: "But even so, my monthly income is not as good as before, and it's not even as high as your income."

"So what? You've just entered this industry, and it takes time for you to grow." Dong Shuxiang patted Ji Huaizhi on the shoulder:

I believe you can do it!

"I'll definitely earn the same amount as before, no! More than before!"

Ji Huaizhi laughed even more heartily.

She really has a strong influence on the people around her.

Ji Huaizhi didn't let the system promote his first book, mainly because he didn't understand the mechanism. He wanted to test the waters with his first book.

However, the response so far has been good, and the daily data is only increasing.

The Ji family, because Ji Huaizhi had not returned, launched a series of deadly threats, claiming that if he did not come back, they would go and guard the Dong family's house, or else they would reveal the address of the new house.

Ji's parents used both gentle persuasion and firm pressure, explaining the hardships they had endured.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Ji Huaizhi had no choice but to agree to go back for dinner this weekend.

Finally receiving confirmation, Ji Junsong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to ask them properly what kind of good life they've been living behind our backs, that they've even forgotten about their parents."

Liu Jinhua: "If they don't come back this weekend, I'm going to go to my in-laws' house and ask them how they raise their children."

"What about my car? Minmin had already agreed to be with me." Ji Huailin said, sounding aggrieved and sad.

"As a result, just because I didn't buy a car, she said she needed to reconsider."

Ji Junsong: "What's the use of a woman like that? She's only with you for the money."

"But I don't have any money." Ji Huailin was aware of his own limitations.

"I just like her. Why would she be with me if I didn't have money?"

Ji Junsong frowned: "Alright, the big thing now is that your brother doesn't care about us anymore. The reason we were able to live so carefree before was because your brother was subsidizing us."

“Now that your brother is no longer providing subsidies, it’s impossible to have an easy life like before.”

Liu Jinhua listened with a thoughtful expression on her face.

If they receive a subsidy, then they can move into their new house.

Is it normal for parents to live with their son?

They used the excuse of taking care of their children in the future.

This is one approach, but my youngest son is still making a fuss. I'll discuss it with my husband tonight.
