This money was just enough for her own expenses.
She doesn't really have the concept of saving money.
So, over the years, she unsurprisingly became a spendthrift.
Previously, the fox demon didn't feel much about this because she didn't have a strong desire to consume. As long as she had food and clothes, she was content. She enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the human world more.
But at this moment, burdened with an invisible "debt," she finally realized the importance of money.
So she decided to work hard to make money!
Among the knowledge they learned when they came down from the mountain were some things that taught the monsters how to make money in the human world.
Unfortunately, the fox demon took a look and felt that these jobs were too slow to generate income and were not suitable for her current situation.
So she decided to find something that would allow her to make a lot of money quickly without breaking the law.
In the end, she chose to become a model.
Because of her good looks, she had been approached by more than one person who claimed to be a "talent scout" while walking on the street. They invited her to join their company and become a star.
Unfortunately, the fox demon knew nothing about acting, and she also disliked going to work, so she decisively refused.
I decided to become a model because I heard that modeling can be lucrative.
She had high hopes, but in reality, she couldn't stand it after just one day. She was constantly practicing how to walk the runway, as well as various body postures and demeanor exercises.
Just when her dwindling patience was about to run out, someone finally came to her rescue.
Her temporary agent said he would take her to dinner with the company's top executives so she could get acquainted and have more opportunities in the future.
Although the fox demon has been down in the mountains for many years, she has spent most of her time with people from special departments and has never been in contact with this circle.
So she didn't understand the hidden meaning behind those words at all, and actually thought that she could have food to eat, expand her network, and get more opportunities.
She thought to herself, "Although I haven't signed a contract with the agent yet, I just want to give it a try. But this agent is pretty good. He's so considerate of me."
If I become successful in the future, I'll remember to share some of my money with him.
So he went happily.
Unexpectedly, this meal was not a proper meal at all. As soon as she sat down at the table, someone approached her and tried to reach for her arm.
The fox demon wasn't about to suffer such a loss, and immediately slapped the person down.
Although she had never encountered such a thing, it was written in the "Rules of Transformation for Yokai" that since yokai are usually quite good-looking after transforming, they should not only avoid "using their looks to seduce people" and doing things to deliberately tempt others, but also be wary of lustful humans with ulterior motives.
This kind of person is definitely the pervert mentioned in the rules!
The fox demon showed no mercy and gave the man a severe beating.
A group of grown men stood by, completely stunned, as if they had never expected the fox demon to be so powerful.
Finally, the fox demon, still not satisfied after beating the pervert, called the police.
Of course, she called the police to a special department.
With the intervention of special departments, she ultimately escaped punishment, while the boss was the one who was punished.
Although the fox demon ultimately suffered no losses, her plan to make a fortune as a model fell through.
Because people from a special department told her that, given her temperament and personality, she probably wouldn't be able to make it in the entertainment industry.
They were also afraid that one day the fox demon might lose control and really beat someone up.
Originally, the fox demon hadn't planned to tell Duan Zhengcun about this.
But he happened to see her when she was called back to the special department for education.
Seeing the fox demon following two men who didn't look like good people, Duan Zhengcun immediately stepped forward and pulled the fox demon behind him, looking at the two special department staff members with a wary expression.
The staff in the special department could tell at a glance that he had misunderstood, so they could only let the fox demon explain to Duan Zhengcun himself.
And the fox demon, being someone who couldn't keep her mouth shut, blurted everything out in one go.
Of course, she only mentioned that she wanted to earn money by becoming a model, but ended up encountering a pervert, and now she has to go through education after beating him up.
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengcun immediately became anxious and hurriedly apologized to the two members of the special department.
Afterwards, he himself felt very strange. He was not the one who made the mistake, so why did he have to apologize on behalf of the fox demon?
He thought about it for a long time before he finally understood.
Perhaps from the first time he met the fox spirit, he felt that she seemed a bit too carefree, and even occasionally seemed a bit dim-witted.
He would have an inexplicable urge to help her clean up the mess.
It wasn't until he realized his feelings for the fox demon that he understood that this urge to help her clean up her mess was what people call protectiveness.
Because of this incident, the fox demon finally understood how difficult it is to make money.
Especially for someone like her who has neither a diploma nor a skill, making big money is even more difficult.
Fortunately, ever since Duan Zhengcun learned that she wanted to make money, he would invite the fox demon to set up a stall together every time he took a vacation.
The two had known each other for a while, and he discovered that the fox spirit didn't seem to have a proper job.
Although she appears no different from those around her, a closer look reveals that her behavior and words sometimes possess a clean and pure quality, as if she has never been tainted by the world.
This kind of purity and innocence is rare in this era, and Duan Zhengcun thinks it's actually quite good.
Although he himself didn't have much ability, he wanted to help her as much as he could within his capacity.
So he not only helped the fox spirit reserve a spot next to his stall, but also gave her advice, suggesting that she sell hair accessories and hair ties.
She's beautiful, and those hair accessories on her head are like living advertisements.
Moreover, many young women and little girls stroll in the park on weekends, and these are all potential customers for hair accessories.
Therefore, he thought that if the fox demon went to sell hair accessories, the business would definitely be very good.
Although the fox demon felt that setting up a stall like Duan Zhengcun wouldn't earn her much money, upon closer reflection, she realized that she wouldn't earn much money doing anything else either.
Besides, if she sets up her stall right next to Duan Zhengcun, she can keep an eye on him and help him in time if he needs it.
And so, the two of them began setting up a stall together.
As the seasons changed, their interactions deepened, and their relationship grew closer.
Selling hair accessories at a stall was actually more profitable than the fox demon had imagined.
In just six months, she earned several thousand yuan, which was a huge sum of money in the 1990s.
She didn't know exactly how much money Duan Zhengcun owed his relatives, but in her opinion, her huge sum of money was enough to help him pay off those debts.
