Naturally, I deposit my own royalties into my own passbook. Brothers should keep their accounts clear, and so should mothers and daughters. Now that she is here, of course I should manage the money I earn myself.
After saving the money, he returned home and wrote for a while. When it got dark, Lin Xiaoman took a shower and went to bed.
Zhixue was coming back soon, and the small room was about to become crowded with more people. And then Yao Xiaonian was born, and the originally easy life turned into a mess.
Zhixue was Yao Jianfen's daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. If Zhixue couldn't make ends meet, Yao Jianfen would definitely subsidize her. As an old mother, Yao Jianfen couldn't just watch her daughter starve to death.
The original owner was a grateful person, and she couldn't just watch Yao Jianfen suffer, so in the end it became Zhiqiu subsidizing Yao Jianfen, and Yao Jianfen subsidizing Zhixue, which was equivalent to Zhiqiu subsidizing Zhixue.
The original owner's request was to persuade Zhixue to give up Yao Xiaonian and take care of her own life. If she refused to listen, then she could ignore Zhixue and Yao Xiaonian. However, Yao Jianfen, her mother, must be taken care of.
But Yao Jianfen's life has become better now. How could she bear to see her little daughter suffer?
I definitely can’t bear it!
Blood ties are really hard to break. This is definitely a vicious cycle.
Lin Xiaoman rubbed her head in distress. At this stage, in addition to making money, she also needed to focus on finding out whether Zhixue was the opener!
Be flexible and adapt according to the situation. Those who open the door are all big shots and should not be offended easily.
All actions will be decided after meeting Zhixue.
On the 9th, with Aunt Lin as diligent as her, Lin Xiaoman felt relieved. At around 4 p.m., the 6-year-old girl from Aunt Shen's family ran over and shouted at her from outside the store, "Sister Zhiqiu, Sister Zhiqiu! Your mother just called and said they were in the city and couldn't buy tickets today, so they can only come back tomorrow."
"Okay, sister got it. Thank you, Yaya, please have some milk." Lin Xiaoman handed her a bottle of milk with a smile.
"Thank you, sister." The little girl happily ran back with the milk.
"Xiaoqiu, I'll come and help tomorrow." Aunt Lin, who was still diligently cleaning the store, said.
"Aunt Lin, thank you so much for your trouble. I'll give you an extra 20 yuan." Knowing that she couldn't handle it alone, Lin Xiaoman nodded and gave her extra wages.
"No, you've already given me a lot. There's no need to add more. I'm free at home anyway." Aunt Lin waved her hand quickly.
"That won't do. If you don't accept the money, I won't bother you."
"Then...thank you."
…
The next day, after the morning's busy schedule, Lin Xiaoman sat in the store waiting, but instead of Yao Jianfen and Zhixue, the postman Zhou Xiang came again.
"Xiao Qiu, here are your remittance slips again, two at that!" Zhou Xiang smiled, his face full of praise. "I told you you're a modest kid. Look, here it is! Another remittance from the newspaper has arrived."
Zhou Xiang handed over two remittance slips and said enviously, "This is quite a lot of money, it's equivalent to someone's weekly salary. Sister Yao will enjoy a good life in the future. Zhiqiu, you are capable and can make money, and Zhixue is an excellent student. I envy you so much for the rest of your life."
"Uncle Xiang, I just write casually and make a little money. How can it compare to other people's iron rice bowls? Please don't make fun of me."
Lin Xiaoman chatted with him as usual.
After the people left, Lin Xiaoman looked at the remittance slips. One was for 25 yuan, and the other was slightly more, 32 yuan. The 32 yuan one was from "Legends of the Past and Present: Martial Arts Edition".
It seems that martial arts are still very popular in this era.
However, if a junior high school graduate suddenly wrote a masterpiece by Jin Yong or Gu Long, that would be too showy and would arouse suspicion. Lin Xiaoman decided to proceed step by step and write some martial arts novels in the style of a novice first.
"Xiaoqiu, can you make money by writing?" Aunt Lin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Just write stories. If they're good, newspapers and magazines will accept them and give you some royalties."
"Oh my god, Xiaoqiu, you're amazing." Aunt Lin was equally amazed, yet at the same time felt a little regretful. "I've been thinking before, Xiaoxue is so smart at studying, how could you, as her sister, be so stupid? Really... Oh, you're such a sensible child, it makes me feel so sorry. If you could continue studying, you would definitely have a bright future! You've suffered so much."
"Aunt Lin, look at what you're saying. When the three of us, mother and daughter, first arrived in town, we were complaining about the hardships, but now we've made it through. It wasn't really that hard at all. And don't praise me anymore. My grades were terrible back then, and the teachers at school all said I was clueless. It's not that I just enjoy reading stories, I just write them down, and now I've gotten so many that they look pretty good. That's what they call a lucky break."
"You are such a kind child," Aunt Lin smiled. "But time flies so fast. Xiaoxue has already taken the college entrance exam. After the exam, she will go to college, right? A college student! In our town, only the Lin and Wang families have college graduates. Soon, your family will also have a golden phoenix!"
"Aunt Lin, it will take a while to know the results after the exam."
"Xiaoxue is such a smart student, she's sure to do well on the test!"
"Thank you for your kind words."
Lin Xiaoman stopped writing stories and started chatting with Aunt Lin. As they were chatting, Yao Jianfen and Zhixue came back carrying packages of different sizes.
"Mom, Xiaoxue, you're back." Lin Xiaoman stood up and went out to greet them and help carry things.
"Hey, you're back, Xiaoqiu. You've worked hard." Yao Jianfen looked a little tired, obviously the aftereffects of the long drive.
