Even if you try your best to save money, you won't have money for food for at least half a month.
Where can we get this money?
Zhou Na's first thought was Zhou Ling, because Zhao Kun's family had received compensation for the demolition, and as Zhou Ling's older sister, she could probably borrow money from her.
But after considering it for a while, Zhou Na quickly rejected the idea.
She thought about what happened at the wedding that day. It was clearly Zhao Kun who was suspected of cheating, and was harassed by a woman at the wedding. He even tried to hit her but failed, and was instead taken away by Uncle Hat. However, Old Mrs. Zhao blamed Zhou Ling without distinguishing right from wrong. Given Old Mrs. Zhao's unforgiving nature and her tendency to argue even when she was in the wrong, she would definitely make a scene if she found out that Zhou Ling had borrowed money. If it got serious, it might even involve the school.
At that time, she will be ridiculed even more.
Moreover, she wanted to stay away from her troublesome and not-so-bright younger sister, Zhou Ling, to avoid constantly causing her trouble or getting dragged into her mess.
He couldn't ask Zhou Ling for money. Zhou Chuan was still in the detention center, barely able to take care of himself, and his relationship with his classmates was also so-so. There was nowhere to borrow money from him.
Unless she can earn money herself...
etc!
Yes, why doesn't she earn money on her own?
She used to be reluctant to spend her time studying, but even though she studied 24 hours a day, she still couldn't beat Zhou Chen.
Even with her own focus, Zhou Chen still managed to get first place in the entire school. Why can't Zhou Na do the same? How is she any worse than Zhou Chen? What Zhou Chen can do, she can do too.
Zhou Na's mind suddenly cleared up.
She thought it was worth a try.
However, she had no idea how to make money. Zhou Chen didn't know how to make stinky tofu, nor did she have the capital. Ideally, she could make money without any investment and just use her spare time after class.
But this kind of job is probably unavailable in a small county town.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Na still had no clue, so she finally decided to go out for a walk to find inspiration.
Coincidentally, just a few steps out of the hotel, she stopped in her tracks after seeing a sign that read "After-school Tutoring Center".
After-school tutoring?
Isn't this a great way to make money? Plus, it's flexible, requires no investment, and only requires mental effort.
She doesn't need to run a tutoring class, but she can provide one-on-one tutoring and earn tutoring fees.
With her excellent grades, ranking second in the entire school, some parents would definitely be willing to accept her.
Thinking of this,
Zhou Na's eyes were filled with hope and motivation. She turned around and found her school's mock exam results, intending to use them to secure a tutoring job.
In order to earn money as soon as possible, Zhou Na wrote down the words "after-school tutoring" and "home tutoring" on a piece of paper, and then went to the best residential area in Fanjia County to find parents who were willing to spend money to improve their children's grades.
Zhou Ling tried calling Zhou Na several times, but couldn't get through.
Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Na had also started her own business to make money, just like Zhou Chen.
Standing at the entrance of the residential compound, Zhou Na mustered her courage and placed the label she had written on her chest. Every resident returning home would take a look at it.
A middle-aged man was scolding his child for poor grades when he passed by Zhou Na and glanced at her curiously.
"You're the second-highest student in the entire high school?"
"yes."
"How much does it cost? How much is it per hour for tutoring elementary school students?"
Hearing the middle-aged man ask that question, Zhou Na felt both excited and nervous. She knew that the man with the child in front of her must want to improve the child's grades, and she had to seize this opportunity.
But she didn't know how much she would charge.
"Ten yuan an hour, is that okay?"
Zhou Na decided to quote a price first, and if the other party felt it was too expensive, she would lower it a little.
"Ten yuan?"
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback.
Just as Zhou Na thought the middle-aged man thought it was too expensive, before she could offer to lower the price, she heard him say, "Okay, when can you have a tutoring session?"
Is that all?
Zhou Na was stunned.
It took her a while to realize what she meant, and she quickly replied, "Anytime is fine. My school is on holiday now, so I have plenty of time. If school starts again, I can only do it at noon or in the evening."
"No problem, you can tutor this kid today, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. After you start school, tutor him for one hour every evening. Is that alright?"
"That's what the middle-aged man said."
Zhou Na was calculating in her mind that if she worked two hours a day during the holiday, that would be twenty yuan, and she could earn more than a hundred yuan by the time school started, enough for a week's meals.
After school starts, we can continue with make-up classes, and soon we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore.
Solved!
Zhou Na was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "As long as your child has time, I can start work anytime."
"Then come with me."
The middle-aged man nodded, then asked Zhou Na to go back with him.
After an extra hour of tutoring...
As Zhou Na left the residential area, she looked at the ten yuan in cash in her hand and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
She earned money through her own abilities.
Although it wasn't much, it meant a lot to her.
From now on, she will be able to support herself without anyone's help.
Thinking of Zhou Chen's successful career, Zhou Na felt a surge of determination. Although she couldn't earn as much money as Zhou Chen now, she believed it was a good start. She thought that after she went to university and graduated, she would start her own company and do big business.
Back then, she was definitely no less capable than Zhou Chen.
Zhou Na put the ten yuan in her pocket, not intending to spend it, but to save it.
