Chapter 18 Faking Illness
"Although I didn't go to high school, I have maintained the habit of reading, and I have submitted articles to magazines before." Jiang Yu said casually.
Wang Meili could tolerate her occasional laziness for the sake of the royalties.
But she had been in trouble in the past few years, and she had to be more cautious in writing articles.
Later, when the magazine was closed, she stopped writing, which made Wang Meili very dissatisfied.
Hearing that she had submitted articles, Huang Ying became interested: "What is your pen name?"
"It's Xiao Jiang, which has the same pronunciation as my last name, but it's the Jiang of the river."
Mainly because she was afraid of causing trouble, she didn't dare to leave her real last name.
Huang Ying thought about it and seemed to have some impression.
"What magazines have you submitted to?"
Jiang Yu counted, "Several, including New Moon, North City Literature and Ginkgo."
Huang Ying clapped her hands and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember. I was the editor-in-chief of New Moon magazine before, and I did read your manuscript!"
Later, when the magazine was closed, she went to North City Evening News.
The reason why she had an impression of Jiang Yu was indeed because of her outstanding stories and her writing skills.
"Our evening paper has recently opened a story column. If you are interested, you are welcome to submit your article to us."
Jiang Yu was so excited that he didn't even have time to eat.
"Auntie, is that true? I have always had the habit of writing stories. I have a lot of manuscripts in my hands. I will go back and get them now!"
Huang Ying smiled and held her, "Nothing is more important than eating. You can go back and get them after you are full. There is still time."
Jiang Yu was really too happy. She often felt that she was useless and had no ability to make money.
Only with this pen could she write two stories.
Later, the magazine was closed down. She had no income from royalties and felt that her life was hopeless.
It's no wonder that she is excited now.
After dinner, Jiang Yu couldn't wait to go home and get the manuscripts.
These manuscripts were her money-making money. She always valued them and took them with her wherever she went.
Otherwise, if Wang Meili saw them, they would be burned as firewood.
"So many?" Huang Ying took a look and believed Jiang Yu's words.
It can be seen that she has never stopped studying.
A child who loves studying like this may be able to get into college.
"You are much better than Feifei in studying. Feifei gets a headache when she reads."
Xie Feifei frowned and said angrily, "Mom, you have been exposing my shortcomings all day long today!"
Jiang Yu and Huang Ying smiled at each other.
Jiang Yu said, "Everyone likes and is good at different things. Feifei is generous and cheerful, and has a way of dealing with people. She is the most popular salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. It's a pity that the supply and marketing cooperative does not have a selection for the most beautiful salesperson, otherwise she deserves it."
Xie Feifei is a person who will be brilliant when given a little sunshine. If she had a tail, it would be curled up now.
"Mom, you heard it, I am very good!"
Huang Ying smiled and nodded at her, and then concentrated on looking at these manuscripts of Jiang Yu.
Occasionally, she discussed with Jiang Yu and gave her advice on revising the manuscript.
With this revision, an entire afternoon had passed in the blink of an eye.
Huang Ying selected two articles and said that she would try them out first. If the response was good, she would let her submit them another day.
"Jiang Yu, you have a good foundation. Don't waste your talent and skills. Keep the habit of reading and writing."
With Huang Ying's encouragement, Jiang Yu's blood surged in her heart, boiling to her eyes, and she was about to burst into tears.
This was the first time that someone supported what she did so straightforwardly.
Huang Ying truly affirmed her and told her that this was the right choice.
"Auntie, I will continue to study!"
After leaving Xie's house, Jiang Yu suddenly realized that she had forgotten about going home!
It was already five o'clock. There were only two buses to the countryside a day, and she had missed it.
Jiang Yu was upset for only a moment, and her mood was soon filled with joy.
According to the royalties she had previously submitted, if these two stories were selected, she should be able to earn ten yuan. She was so happy. It was just that
Jiang Ting came to her house as soon as she got home.
Jiang Yu knew it without her saying anything, and it must be about going home.
"Jiang Yu, are you sick? You said you would go home today, where have you been!"
Jiang Yu thought that he had indeed broken the appointment, so he apologized to her.
"I have something to do today, I'll go home to see my parents next time."
Jiang Ting was so angry, "Next time? You've pissed people off, how can there be a next time! My parents must be so angry, you should explain it to them yourself!"
Jiang Hao specially notified Du Juan and asked Du Juan to bring her second uncle over, and even Du Juan's grandma came.
As a result, Jiang Yu didn't even see anyone's shadow, and directly let the pigeon go. Who wouldn't be angry
? Jiang Yu looked puzzled, "Who was angry and ran away?"
Jiang Ting turned her face away with guilt, "Anyway, my parents are very angry, I don't care!"
Jiang Yu closed the door, without thinking too much, thinking about the upcoming royalties, she felt so happy.
"Aunt, my friend's mother is the editor-in-chief of Beicheng Evening News. My article was selected today. I will get royalties soon. I will treat you to dinner then!"
"Your royalties are only a few dollars, keep them for yourself."
Yao Xiangling said this, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
Lady is still good, considerate.
On the other side, Jiang Hao was coaxing Du Juan.
Her family was very angry today, and Du Juan scolded Jiang Ting in person, and almost hit her.
"My grandparents are very angry. If your family had never thought about marrying your eldest sister to us, we should have broken up earlier."
Jiang Hao was unwilling to let her go and quickly pulled her hand.
"Today was an accident. We had already discussed it with my eldest sister. Don't worry, I will definitely convince my parents. They love me the most!"
Du Juan said angrily, "I may be pregnant with your child. It has to be done as soon as possible, okay? Once my second uncle gets married, my family can arrange our wedding."
Jiang Hao was so confused by her coaxing that he immediately went home and had a big tantrum with Wang Meili.
"Do you only want Jiang Yu's daughter, and don't want my son? You don't care about my marriage, and when I have children in the future, I won't let them call you grandpa!"
Old Mrs. Ye coaxed hurriedly: "Why are you so angry? Aren't I thinking of a solution for you? Three hundred yuan, you have to wait for your eldest sister to bring the money back."
Jiang Hao snorted heavily, "Only you believe her words, she doesn't dare to go home because she has no money! No matter how much my aunt loves her, how could she give us three hundred yuan for no reason?"
Old Mrs. Ye frowned and said anxiously: "What should we do!"
Jiang Hao lowered his head and said, "There is a good way right now, but you just don't want to! Just marry Jiang Yu over." Wang Meili
was getting impatient. The person had gone to the city, and she couldn't kidnap him back.
Old Lady Ye proposed a solution: "You pretend to be sick and let Jiang Yu come back to see him!"
Wang Meili was stunned and hesitated.
"Is this possible?"
Jiang Hao patted his chest, "Of course it will work! Mom, think about your future grandchildren!"
For his lifelong event, Wang Meili had to compromise.
