Chapter 95, both the father-in-law and the mother-in-law were shocked! (Subscribe)
"Yes, yes."
"I don't know your bank card password!"
Xu Zhengyi waved his hands impatiently, and then said angrily: "Why did you set such a difficult password? It's as if there is a lot of money in it!"
Xu Zhengyi did not touch the money in the bank card. It was not because he had a conscience, but mainly because the bank card was locked after he entered the password incorrectly three times in a row.
He asked the bank staff and they were told that the card would be automatically unlocked 24 hours a day. Xu Zhengyi had planned to try again after the bank card was unlocked, but he did not expect to be discovered by his granddaughter.
Seeing Xu Zhengyi in such a state, Xu Piwa breathed a sigh of relief silently. She knew this gambling grandfather well. If he really cracked the bank card password, he would not be so angry.
"Loquat, what's the password for your bank card?"
"If you need me to go to the bank to withdraw money for you in the future, I won't be unable to withdraw the money, right?"
Xu Zhengyi asked again shamelessly.
"If that day ever comes, I'll tell you!"
After saying that, Xu Loquat went back to his room angrily.
As for the 500 yuan in cash, there is no need to think about it. He must have lost all the money, otherwise Xu Zhengyi would not have been able to come back.
"Loquat, tell me now!"
Xu Zhengyi was still not giving up, but the only response he got was the slam of a door slamming shut.
"I'm getting more and more ignorant as I grow older!"
"You don't know how to be grateful, and you don't even think about who raised you."
Xu Zhengyi went to the kitchen to find something to eat while muttering to himself.
Xu Pipa returned to his room and hid his bank card in the inner compartment of his schoolbag, thinking silently that he must go to the bank to change the password tomorrow.
The password of her bank card is her grandmother's death anniversary, but if the gambler grandfather pays attention, he can still guess the password correctly.
Therefore, it is safer to change the password to an irrelevant number.
Bauhinia Garden.
It was already past midnight when Lin Xiamo returned home.
She tiptoed into the house and wanted to go back to her room to wash up and go to bed, but she found that her father Lin Moxuan was actually asleep on the sofa in the living room.
The TV hanging on the wall was still on, playing the CCTV News Channel.
Obviously, Dad was waiting for me to fall asleep.
Lin Xiamo sighed softly. Ever since her elder sister Lin Chuxue passed away, her father has been particularly caring towards her and her younger sister Lin Jiayu!
However, this kind of love has reached a suffocating level. Lin Xiamo can understand her father's feelings, but it is also a big burden for her.
Walking to the sofa, Lin Xiamo wanted to wake up her father and ask him to go back to his room to sleep.
It turned out that her footsteps might have alarmed her father, and as soon as she walked to the sofa, Lin Moxuan woke up.
He yawned and glanced at his daughter who had already returned home: "What time is it?"
"It's past twelve."
"Why so late?"
"Take Yanran and Xiaoxiao out for a barbecue. I've even sent a WeChat message to mom!"
Lin Xiamo explained helplessly that she was already 31 years old this year, but she still had to report in like a child when she came home late every day.
"Chen Qiushan is coming too?"
Lin Moxuan asked vigilantly.
"Um."
Lin Xiamo nodded: "In today's mock exam live broadcast, he performed very well and scored 704 points, which can be regarded as a vindication for the school and the Education Bureau."
"Now the public opinion on the Internet has reversed, and netizens are praising our Sanjiang Municipal Education Bureau!"
"Are you sure you didn't cheat with 704 points?"
His subordinates had already told Lin Moxuan about the public opinions on the Internet, and he had also taken a look himself. He found that the public opinion trend had indeed undergone a major reversal compared to before.
When Lin Moxuan went to the meeting this afternoon, the deputy mayor in charge of education mentioned Shen Qiushan's case and praised their Education Bureau for its courage.
Therefore, Lin Moxuan has actually reaped the benefits of this incident.
"No, the test papers were chosen by Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin on the spur of the moment. How could there be any cheating?"
Lin Xiamo shook her head and continued, "Dad, I think you have too deep a prejudice against my brother-in-law. He has been working very hard recently. Not only has he studied very hard, but he has also found time to write novels."
"Didn't you ask before, if he goes to college, where will he get the living expenses and tuition?"
"In fact, he had already planned it. He chose to return to high school because the money he earned from writing novels was enough for tuition and living expenses."
Lin Xiamo felt that her father's prejudice against Shen Qiushan was too deep, and it was necessary to tell her father the "truth".
"What?"
"Writing a novel?"
"He Shen Qiushan writes novels?"
Lin Moxuan stood up from the sofa excitedly: "You believe this kind of nonsense!"
"I don't even know what level Shen Qiushan is at!"
"Zhu Bajie wears glasses, and he pretends to be a cultured person!"
Lin Xiamo knew that her father would most likely react in this way, so she didn't mention it until Shen Qiushan's novel really achieved success.
But the situation is different now. The novel written by Shen Qiushan has become popular.
In the words of those readers, "this book makes one a legend"!
In the first month after it was released on the shelves, it firmly occupied the first place in the monthly ticket list of new books.
Now, it is May, and Lin Xiamo is listening to the latest chapter while driving on her way back from sending the Shen family's father and son (daughter). "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn" has already entered the top ten in the monthly ticket rankings and is currently ranked eighth.
Since she has been following Shen Qiushan's book recently, Lin Xiamo also learned about the online novel industry on the Internet.
Penguin Novel is the No. 1 paid website. Some well-known online writers almost all come from this website. It is a remarkable achievement for a book to be ranked in the top ten of the monthly ticket list of Penguin Novel.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Xiamo decided to tell her father today that Shen Qiushan was writing a novel.
"What are you two arguing about in the middle of the night?"
Lin Moxuan was too excited just now and his voice was quite loud, which woke up Chen Qingzhu, who was a light sleeper. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked into the living room.
"Mo Mo said that Shen Qiushan was writing a novel!"
"She also said that she wanted to earn her college tuition and living expenses by writing novels!"
"This is just a foolish dream!"
Lin Moxuan said with a pout.
"ah?"
"There is also this matter!"
"When will Akiyama write a novel?"
Chen Qingzhu was also very surprised and looked at his daughter Lin Xiamo with suspicion.
Facing the two people's doubts, Lin Xiamo did not say much, but opened the Penguin Novel app, then clicked on the monthly ticket rankings, pointing at Shen Qiushan's book and said: "This novel website is the largest paid novel website in China. This book was written by my brother-in-law and is currently ranked eighth in the entire site!"
"this?"
The old couple looked at each other, their eyes both falling on the ranking list shown by Lin Xiamo.
“I Really Don’t Want to Be Reborn.”
Chen Qingzhu read out the name of the book ranked eighth. After retirement, she had more time. She had never read online novels, but she had recently become fascinated by short plays. Many of the names of those short plays were quite straightforward and abstract.
For example, "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me as a Nanny", "Reborn in the 80s, Fighting the Evil Mother-in-law", "After Divorce, I Became a Billionaire" and so on!
After seeing the names of these short dramas so many times, a name like "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn" has become very normal for Chen Qingzhu.
"What a lousy book title!"
“Can this be considered a novel?”
Lin Moxuan rolled his eyes in disdain. He usually had the habit of reading books, but he never read online novels. He only read history books or famous works from home and abroad.
Therefore, in his opinion, online novels are all "textual garbage"!
"Dad, you are the head of the Education Bureau after all. You should keep up with the times. Nowadays, many people read online novels, and young people like them very much. It is a common way to relax."
Lin Xiamo tries to change her father's prejudice against online novels.
"No matter how you put it, it's still a low-end thing!"
“There is no ideological content at all!”
Lin Moxuan still had a look of disdain on his face.
"Dad, don't talk about values at this time."
Lin Xiamo was speechless for a while: "Online novels are not meant to teach people or provide value. They are just a fragmented form of entertainment that allows people to relax after a busy day."
"I'm already exhausted from work and study, I can't read a novel and educate others at the same time!"
Chen Qingzhu nodded in agreement: "Momo is right, it's the same as a skit, just watch it for fun and that's it, how can you expect it to have any deep connotations!"
"Young people today are under so much pressure, we have to give them ways to relax."
Lin Moxuan, who was criticized by the two, did not continue the topic. He glanced at the monthly ticket ranking and asked, "What's wrong with being ranked eighth?"
“Is the money you earn enough to pay for college tuition and living expenses?”
When it came to this question, Lin Xiamo had something to talk about. She immediately clicked on the main page of "I Really Didn't Want to Be Reborn" and then clicked on the fan rankings, explaining: "This book has already been put on sale, which means readers have to pay to read it."
"I haven't asked about the exact amount of subscription revenue, but you've seen the fan list, right? This book has already received 260,000 to 270,000 yuan in tips from readers."
"Look at these silver alliances, each of them has given more than 10,000 yuan in rewards."
"What??"
“I spent 10,000 yuan to read a novel!”
"You mean R coins?"
Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu were both shocked, their eyes widened subconsciously.
"Um!"
“It’s R coin!”
Lin Xiamo nodded affirmatively. She had a lot of say in this. In order to help her favorite character increase the star value, she had given a total of 3,000 yuan in rewards.
"What kind of family conditions are these!"
“How can you spend so much money on a novel?”
Chen Qingzhu muttered to himself while looking at the fan list.
The nicknames of these readers are also very strange. The first on the fan list is called [Orange] and the second is [Life is Like a Dream].
The third one is more abstract, it’s actually called [Taro Bobo Cat]!
It's obviously a name given by a child.
But kids nowadays are too rich!
Reading an online novel can earn you 10,000 yuan in rewards!
The parents must be too doting and spoiled their children.
When Lin Moxuan heard that the reward income alone was 260,000 to 270,000, he was stunned for a while, and then said in disbelief: "How can such a crappy novel make so much money?"
"Momo, is your information accurate? Could it be that Shen Qiushan is just bragging?"
"He's good at this!"
Lin Moxuan was already very shocked by the fact that Shen Qiushan wrote novels, let alone the fact that he could make such a large sum of money by writing novels. Naturally, he didn't believe it.
"The rewards cannot be faked. They are all real money spent."
Lin Xiamo continued, "The 260,000 or 270,000 I just mentioned is just the tips from readers. The paid income is no less than the tip income!"
"ah?"
“You can make so much money!”
Chen Qingzhu was shocked. Two hundred and sixty or two hundred and seventy thousand was already a lot in her opinion. After all, Shen Qiushan only made a little over ten thousand a month as a deliveryman before.
Twenty-six or twenty-seven thousand is equivalent to his income from delivering food for two years.
Now Lin Xiamo says that the paid income is more than the reward income, which is simply jaw-dropping.
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Moxuan snorted coldly: "I think you have been brainwashed by that kid Shen Qiushan!"
"Go to bed early!"
"I will get to the bottom of this!"
After saying that, Lin Moxuan returned to his room angrily.
"Momo, can Qiushan really make hundreds of thousands of dollars by writing novels?"
Chen Qingzhu asked in a low voice.
“It’s several hundred thousand a month.”
Lin Xiamo emphasized.
"ah??"
Chen Qingzhu was shocked again. She thought she could make hundreds of thousands of dollars from just one novel.
I never expected that it would be hundreds of thousands a month!
"Is it really that much? Wouldn't that be millions a year?"
Originally, Chen Qingzhu had begun to believe it, because she knew Lin Xiamo. Her second daughter was always cautious and would never brag.
But it is really unbelievable that the son-in-law who used to be a delivery boy suddenly became a writer with an annual income of several million!
"His book has only been on the shelves for a month. As for how much money he can make in the future, I have no idea."
"But the money he has earned so far should be enough for him, Yanran and Xiaoxiao to go to college."
Lin Xiamo told the truth.
In fact, she was also very curious about how much paid income Shen Qiushan had earned last month, but this kind of question was quite private, so she didn't dare to ask directly.
"I'll ask Akiyama when I have time."
"Momo, you should go to bed early."
Seeing that he couldn't get any accurate answer from Lin Xiamo, Chen Qingzhu gave some instructions and went back to the bedroom.
She originally wanted to go back to the bedroom and continue sleeping. After all, it was already half past twelve in the morning.
As a result, Lin Moxuan sat on the sofa by the window, staring at the screen of his mobile phone with his eyes as bright as light bulbs.
"Why are you looking at your phone instead of sleeping?"
Chen Qingzhu asked while yawning.
"I want to see what that kid Shen Qiushan wrote."
Lin Moxuan said angrily.
"Then you can watch it."
"I have to go to bed!"
Chen Qingzhu shook his head, lay down on the bed, and turned off the lights.
The room suddenly became dark, with only the light coming from the phone screen that Lin Moxuan was holding in his hand.
The dim light shone on his face, and you could see that the frown on his face was enough to kill a fly.
And he was reborn. What a crappy plot!
Isn’t this male protagonist just a little ruffian?
What kind of novel is this? I think it’s just an autobiography!
The heroine is such a nice girl. Is she written based on our Chuxue?
Yes, it must be, both parents are civil servants in the system, with high positions.
Lin Moxuan critically read Shen Qiushan's novel while silently analyzing it in his mind.
At the beginning, he really had a purely critical attitude, but as he read on, he got into the story.
For Lin Moxuan, who usually only reads famous ancient books, this novel opened the door to a new world for him. He realized that stories can be written in this way.
Compared with those famous domestic and foreign works, such stories are indeed more easy to understand and more vivid and interesting.
A man remains a boy until he dies!
Director Lin is actually no exception. Although he is usually very serious, there is a "young man" living deep in his heart, and he will occasionally play "rebellious" with his wife.
The vivid image of the hero in this story immediately brought Director Lin’s thoughts back to his youthful years at the age of eighteen.
As the plot progressed, his frown relaxed unconsciously, and even a smile occasionally appeared at the corners of his mouth.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Lin Moxuan flipped the screen again, a payment prompt appeared. He needed to recharge Penguin Coins to unlock the next chapter.
He frowned again and snorted in his heart: This crappy novel actually costs money!
After turning off the screen of his mobile phone, Lin Moxuan stretched himself, then tiptoed to bed to prepare for sleep.
As a result, after he lay down on the bed, the plot of the novel kept appearing in his mind.
Director Lin tossed and turned on the bed several times, and finally sighed in frustration, picked up the phone on the bedside table again, and gritted his teeth to pay for the six-yuan Penguin Coin.
