Chapter 360 Uncle San also wants to find something to do
No, it's absolutely impossible. He has never thought about the relationship between men and women. How could he have such dirty thoughts about a little girl?
Not long after Yetingyu left, two people came in at the door. Du Wanwan looked up and saw that it was her third aunt Liang and a middle-aged man.
You guessed right, it should be Third Uncle Ye Zhengqiu.
Liang entered the People's Clinic with a smile on her face: "Wanwan! I'm rich, I'm rich. Fenglin Bookstore gave me a share of thirty taels of silver. How long has it been?
Your suggestion is really great. If I continue like this, I only need to release one episode a month and sit at home waiting to get my share of the profits. Hahaha! So beautiful!"
Ye Zhengqiu smiled shyly at Du Wanwan and introduced himself: "Zhongyuan's wife! I'm your third uncle!"
"I guessed it."
Du Wanwan warmly invited them to sit down and served them tea and snacks. They were the elders, so they couldn't just sit there and need to be treated well.
The snacks were sent by a patient. The last time she came for treatment, she didn't have enough money for the consultation, but Du Wanwan still gave her enough medicine.
After taking the medicine, I recovered from my illness and came to make up for it today. She sells snacks, so I gave her a pack to express my gratitude.
Chenchen was not at home, and Ye Tingyu tasted a piece. Nanba did not like it, so Du Wanwan put it in the drawer. Now that Uncle and Auntie were here, it was just the right time to take it out and treat them.
Ye Zhengqiu sat down with Liang and said, "Zhongyuan's wife! Third uncle, thank you for finding a way for Third Aunt to make money. This way, the family won't be living off the savings and worrying about it."
"Yes, yes!" Liang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Wanwan! You don't know, this is the first time Third Aunt has earned money, a full thirty taels? It feels so heavy in my hand.
The second volume has been written, and I want you to review it for me and revise any shortcomings. Mr. Cao from the bookstore is urging me to deliver it by the evening.
"Okay! Take it out and let me have a look. It's the middle of the day and I have nothing to do."
Du Wanwan didn't feel shy and was very open and confident, even with her Third Uncle around.
Ye Zhengqiu thought she was very special. Although she was a woman, she had mastered superb medical skills. He had heard that the owner of Fenglin Bookstore was seriously ill and was cured by Zhongyuan's wife.
He had already told the old lady about his wife's storybook sales and had promised to give the family ten taels of silver every month.
The old lady did not make things difficult for them. She let the second sister-in-law do all the housework, while his wife devoted herself to writing storybooks.
I thought my second sister-in-law would disagree with this arrangement, but she didn't object at all. Later I learned that she went to her mother's house to ask for money and was driven out by her brother and sister-in-law.
I wanted to do something but didn't know how, so I could only cook, do laundry and serve the old lady at home.
Now the lady doesn't have to do anything except take care of their own family. It's good to be able to earn money! Even the old lady looks at her with admiration.
"Aunt San! This episode is better written than the last one. It should have a foreshadowing at the end, so that it would be more attractive to read on."
Du Wanwan guided Liang to process some details of the storyline.
After making the changes according to her requirements, Liang felt that the overall effect was indeed much improved.
"Aunt San knows that she will throw out a bait at the end of each episode to lure the fish to compete for food."
"That's fine." Du Wanwan confirmed with a smile, "We sell stories, so we have to make them lively and interesting, and we have to add some bait from time to time to make them remember it. This way, we won't have to worry about not having a market for our storybooks."
Ye Zhengqiu listened and watched from the side, and felt that Zhongyuan's wife's insights were very unique. A storybook must be attractive to people. If it is boring, people will not spend money to buy it.
In the capital, as long as your stuff is novel and attractive enough, you won't have to worry about not having people spend money on it.
"Good! Third Aunt has learned another trick." Liang looked at Du Wanwan with admiration, "Wanwan! How come your brain is so smart? Just a few words of advice will benefit Third Aunt a lot.
You don't know that Third Aunt has improved her status in the Ye family. She promised to give the family ten taels of silver every month, and the old lady's face changed when she saw me.
In the past, she pretended not to see me when she saw me, but now she asks me about my well-being when she sees me. In the past, she would ask me questions about everything when I went out, but now she doesn’t ask questions when I go out. Occasionally, I would bring some fresh food from the street to the old lady, which solved all her worries.”
Du Wanwan didn't say anything, just listened silently. She really didn't know what to say about the old lady of the Ye family.
Knowing that she didn't like to hear about the Ye family, Ye Zhengqiu changed the subject: "Zhongyuan's wife! Third uncle also wants to find something to do, what do you think Third uncle can do?"
Du Wanwan asked back: "What does Third Uncle want to do?"
"I'm considering two things at the moment. One is being an accountant, and the other is opening a private school."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang interrupted him, "Master! We won't be the accountant. When we went to Changyuan Bookstore, the shopkeeper criticized us and gave us a very low price. Now that my book is selling well, he wants to ask you to be the accountant."
If you really go, he will ask you to come to me to get the storybook. I have signed an agreement with Fenglin Bookstore. From now on, all the storybooks I write can only be provided to Boss Cao and not to others. "
"Oh? The owner of Changyuan Bookstore wants to hire Uncle San to be his accountant?" Du Wanwan looked at Ye Zhengqiu, "What does Uncle San think?"
"I don't really want to go." Ye Zhengqiu said what he was thinking, "Third Uncle is indeed a friend of Manager Tong of Changyuan Bookstore, but I didn't expect that he would refuse to accept your Third Aunt's script.
A few days ago, he met me on the street and knew that I wanted to find a job to support my family, so he asked me to work as an accountant for him and would pay me ten taels of silver a month.
"Have you ever inquired about how much money one usually gets for being an accountant?" Du Wanwan asked calmly.
"It ranges from five to eight taels." Ye Zhengqiu said, then suddenly realized something and his face changed drastically, "Zhongyuan's wife! Do you mean he has bad intentions?"
Du Wanwan immediately denied it: "Uncle San! I didn't say that, but we should be on guard against others. It's better to be careful."
Liang also thought of it: "I told you so! Why would he ask you to be an accountant in his house? It must be a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. Master! I don't want to be that useless accountant."
Ye Zhengqiu nodded slightly: "Zhongyuan's wife is right, we should be on guard against others. The only thing left is to open a private school, but our place is small and the old lady is afraid of noise, so there is no place to open it even if we want to."
"Uncle San! There is nothing in the world that you can't accomplish if you want to. If you can't get it done at home, you can rent someone else's place. If that doesn't work, you can buy a yard. Don't worry about the money. Wanwan can lend it to you first."
"Buy a yard? That's a good idea." Liang was overjoyed. "Master! Let's buy a yard! Since Wanwan said she would lend us money, what are we afraid of?"
