Originally everyone was happy that Zhu Ting had a child, but when they heard that Su Yan's daily royalties were thirteen or fourteen yuan, everyone was sincerely happy for her.
At school, Su Yan writes a maximum of a thousand words a day. On holidays, she can write at least three thousand words a day. She writes in the morning and proofreads and copies in the afternoon.
Hua Jing patted Su Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Yan, just focus on writing. I will help you take care of Yiming."
Hua Min asked, "Yan Yan, do you want us to bring you food?"
"Mom, no need. Lu Ting can go buy groceries in the morning. We can just make one or two dishes at home. I'll find time to come and take care of Yiming after I'm done."
At night, Lu Jin and Zhu Ting were lying in bed. Lu Jin said excitedly, "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law was actually Yun Zhongjun. I thought Yun Zhongjun was a man."
"Lu Jin, your sister-in-law is so good at making money, will your parents dislike me? I can't do anything."
"Don't think too much. You have your own advantages. Look who is more capable than you? You got it as soon as you got married. Xiaoting, how about I write novels too? That way we won't have to live off our savings. Besides, you're pregnant now, and raising a child will cost a lot of money."
"Have you decided what to write?"
"I want to write a story about my personal experience. I wonder if the newspaper society will accept it?"
I have to say, although Lu Jin looks silent, he is actually not stupid at all.
"I think it's feasible, but if your parents knew, would they blame you?"
"The names and some of the storylines are definitely fictitious; they're just partially similar. I wrote this to make money, and I think they'll understand. My only concern now is that my writing isn't good enough, and the story isn't compelling enough. So I'm going to take the time to read more books, and then ask my sister-in-law for some writing lessons."
Now his wife is pregnant, and both he and his wife are not working. It will take several years for them to start working after graduation. Raising a child will cost a lot of money, so he has to think about ways to make money. He can't possibly ask his parents to help them raise the child, right?
Thinking of their pregnant second daughter-in-law, Hua Min and Lu Fengnian couldn't sleep while lying in bed.
"Xiao Min, do you think the old family doesn't want to eat with us?"
Lu Fengnian always felt that things were not that simple. Ever since Lu Jin got married, the old couple had become reserved towards them.
"Why would you think that? Yanyan is busy making money right now. If she writes a little more every day, she can earn a few hundred yuan a month, which is more than our combined salary.
I heard that great writers make just over a dozen yuan per thousand words. They're practically picking up the dough! Yanyan writes three thousand words a day, and she has to review, check, and copy the manuscripts, so she's probably busy from morning till night."
"Writing good novels does make money. I didn't expect Xiaoyan to have a talent for writing. This person suddenly got it. Good luck can't be stopped."
The next morning, Lu Jin told Lu Fengnian that he wanted to learn how to write novels from Su Yan. Lu Fengnian looked at Lu Jin in surprise.
"You saw your sister-in-law making money writing novels, so you want to contribute too? But I heard that the editorial department receives a lot of manuscripts every day, but very few are actually accepted.
If you really want to learn how to write, you can read more books, hone yourself first, and then write about topics you are good at."
"Dad is right. I will read more books to calm down first."
"Well, let me take a look at what you write next time. Some things can't be written casually."
"good."
There is no need to go back to the Lu family for dinner. Su Yan cooks whatever she wants at home every day. Sometimes she doesn’t have time and just cooks noodles to make do. Sometimes she makes four or five dishes on a whim.
Whenever the Lu family made a delicious dish, they would ask Lu Yu to bring them a bowl.
Of course, it was impossible for Su Yan to leave nothing for them. After all, her son was still in the Lu family, and that boy liked to eat.
Strawberries and watermelons were his favorites. He couldn't bite other fruits even if he wanted to. Every time she went there, she would bring some fruit.
The refined grains and vegetable oil from the space are no longer being delivered. Everyone has their own rations, so just let them eat the rations.
After a week of writing, Su Yan planned to take two days off to visit her grandparents with her son. Hua Jing took advantage of those two days to go home to see her son and husband, while Lu Chen and Lu Yu went with their aunt to visit their grandparents.
Only Hua Min, Lu Fengnian, Lu Jin and Zhu Ting were left at home.
Zhu Ting has a poor appetite due to pregnancy and the hot weather, so she hasn't eaten much in the past two days.
Lu Jin asked her what was wrong. She either complained that the rice cooked by her mother-in-law was too hard, or that the dishes she cooked were too salty. She said she wanted to eat chicken, then fish, and then she said she wanted to eat kimchi made by her sister-in-law.
Lu Jin comforted her, "I'll cook whatever you want tomorrow. If I can't cook well, I can learn. My mother's cooking is actually quite good. If you think it's not tasty, it must be because you're pregnant.
Xiaoting, please stop saying those things. My mom will definitely be upset if she hears them."
"Lu Jin, I'm not stupid. I definitely wouldn't say that to her face. I don't know what happened. Maybe my appetite has changed because I'm pregnant!"
Seeing that her daughter-in-law ate little for dinner, Hua Min cooked her a bowl of brown sugar eggs. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard her daughter-in-law complaining that the food she cooked was unpalatable.
After all these years of cooking, this is the first time someone dislikes me. It would be a lie to say I’m not sad.
She didn't expect that even though she had tried her best to accommodate her, Zhu Ting would still gossip about her behind her back.
She was also tired. She had thought that since she got along well with her eldest daughter-in-law, she should also get along well with Zhu Ting. She didn't expect the final result to be like this.
She could also understand that Zhu Ting's mood changes might be caused by pregnancy, and there was no need for her to argue with a junior.
