"You still have more than two years until graduation. Even if Brother Ming and Miss Zhang feel good about each other, it's still too early to wait for a happy ending. Instead of being impatient, why not just let things take their course?"
Xu Manman looked up, and Ren Jinzichu took a new towel and wiped her mouth. "I know, I know. I'm just happy. Do you think this can be considered a blooming old tree, cousin?"
"...Brother Ming probably wouldn't be happy to be described as an old tree."
"Then it's the iron tree! Hahahaha." Xu Manman was laughing non-stop because of herself, and Jin Zichu beside her was looking at her with a smile on his face.
After Xu Manman finished laughing, Jin Zichu asked, "It's almost time, Manman, are you going back to the space?"
"Go back!"
After returning to her space, Xu Manman didn't rush to take a shower. Instead, she took out a box and opened it. Inside was the money she had earned from her submissions in the past two years.
Because the number of words in each manuscript varies, the money is also in small and large amounts. In order to avoid being exposed, she maintains a relatively normal pace, submitting to newspapers once every two weeks and publishing houses once a month. During holidays, she will ask Xiao Jin to help deliver the manuscripts.
Because the quality of her manuscripts improved, the newspaper later increased her royalties. However, the publishing house has always set prices according to the type of translation, which can be high or low and is not fixed.
Whenever she took the money back, she would put it directly into the box and never touched it.
Now she receives a subsidy for studying at school and lives outside with Chen Ming. Many of the daily necessities for the house are bought by him. She pays for her living expenses with Xiao Jin, so she doesn't spend much money. She only occasionally goes to the street to buy some clothes, accessories or snacks with her own money.
What she didn't know was that Xiao Jin would fill the bag where she kept her change with money every once in a while, which resulted in her having no idea about money now.
You won’t know until you count it. Once you count it, you will be shocked. These alone are worth about 10,000 yuan. In Beijing, according to the current housing prices, it is effortless to buy a small courtyard house.
Xu Manman thought that when she wrote the manuscripts before, she actually wanted to save money to buy a house, but now that her yard was so big, she didn't need to buy another house either openly or secretly.
If I take this money out and give it to my eldest cousin to support him in buying a yard in Beijing, first of all, he will have a little more advantage in the matter with Zhang Wenjun. After all, there are really not many young people who can own their own houses nowadays. Most of their generation still live with their parents.
Even if his relationship with Zhang Wenjun doesn't work out, he's making a profit by buying a house in Beijing now. According to his cousin's major, he will most likely stay in Beijing in the future. Having his own house means he doesn't have to stay in the company dormitory, which in itself is a kind of confidence.
The more Xu Manman thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so she pulled Xiao Jin over to discuss it.
After hearing this, Xiao Jin said, "Manman has thought very carefully about Brother Ming, but there is one thing: if you give him the money directly, Brother Ming will definitely not accept it. After all, this is what you worked so hard to earn.
But if you borrowed it, Brother Ming would have to bear such a large debt before he even graduated. Based on his current salary, he would have to go without food and drink for several years to pay it off. A good cousin has become a debtor. Manman thinks, is this a good thing?
Xu Manman hesitated, "I... I haven't thought about it so much." She and her cousin had a brief argument about money when they first went to the countryside, and they never argued about it afterwards. She just took it for granted.
Xiao Jin touched the host's head and said, "Xiao Jin knows that Manman has good intentions. After all, buying a house now will benefit Yu Mingge for the rest of his life. But it's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish. Don't worry about it, Manman. I'll leave it to Xiao Jin."
Xiao Jin guarantees that before graduation, Brother Ming will be able to live in his own courtyard house."
"Thank you, Xiao Jin."
"Manman and Xiaojin, you never have to say thank you."
…
Because she had to entertain guests on Sunday, Xu Manman finished washing up and left the space early. She told Xiao Jin in advance that her eldest cousin would come to call her this morning, so she did not go to Hong Kong City or Eagle Country that day. She returned to the courtyard of Tsinghua and Peking University and waited for her brother Ming to come.
Chen Ming really took today's events very seriously. When Xu Manman pushed open the door of the east wing, she saw her eldest cousin busy in the kitchen.
"Manman, wake up! I made noodles this morning. Come and have some. After you finish eating, I'll go to the market to buy some groceries. I'll leave the house to you."
Xu Manman sat down and picked up the chopsticks. "Well, I guess they won't come so early. If someone comes, I can take care of it at home. Don't worry, cousin."
