Mrs. Huang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! I can tolerate his lack of money, but he didn't grow crops well and didn't give me a son. He really treated me unfairly."
"I have to open my eyes and find a man who can give birth to a son for your sister, even if he is poor."
Huang Wanzhen: "Mom, your thinking is wrong."
"My father is poor enough now, right? But he can't give birth to a son!"
"Look at the Zheng family, they are powerful and influential, and the most infuriating thing is that they can even give birth to sons."
Huang Dong was confused by what she said, "Then how should I choose?"
Huang Wanzhen: "I think Dr. Chu is good. He's tall and good-looking. The son he'll have in the future won't be bad either."
Huang Dong glared at her and said, "Forget it. It's obvious that person is not someone we can reach."
"A man with such good conditions can't afford to lose face and marry into her family."
"Stop talking nonsense and go buy me some food."
Huang Wanzhen curled her lips and stretched out her hand, "Give me the money."
Mrs. Huang: "Didn't you just refund the money?"
Huang Wanzhen: "I spent it. I also spent the money I had on me."
Huang Dong sighed, "I'm never going to come out again. If I do, I'll spend so much money."
While complaining, Huang Dong took out a cloth bag from her inner pocket and took out a scroll. Just as she was about to open it, it was snatched away by Huang Wanzhen.
"Leave it here with me first. I'll return it to you if there's any left when I get back."
Huang Dong gritted her teeth and cursed, "Robber! None of you Huangs are good people."
Huang Wanzhen: "You just realized it now, it's too late!"
She put the roll of silver dollars into her pocket, asked Bella for permission to use the restroom, and then she slowly walked out of the hospital gate.
To be on the safe side, Huang Wanzhen didn't go far. She found two stalls nearby and bought two sesame cakes and a bamboo tube of tea for ten copper coins.
"Why don't you buy yourself a tube of tea?" Huang Dong asked Huang Wanzhen while eating.
Huang Wanzhen munched on a dry pancake and shook her head. "I'm not thirsty. I haven't made any money yet, so I'll save as much as I can. When I make some money, I'll treat you to a meal."
Mrs. Huang Dong was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, I'll wait for my daughter to treat me to a meal."
"I haven't eaten in a restaurant yet, but your grandpa told me that Fufengtang is a great place where you can eat and watch a play at the same time. It's really great."
Huang Wanzhen waved her hand and began to make promises, "Okay, then it's Fufengtang. When I make money, I'll take you there."
Huang Dongshi kept laughing and said, "I'll wait."
Mrs. Huang Dong didn't dare to go to the toilet outside, so she just took a few sips of tea. Huang Wanzhen felt very uncomfortable seeing her like that, "Mom, this hospital has a toilet, it's called a bathroom, it's very clean, do you want to go?"
Huang Dongshi shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, let's go home quickly. I wonder how your father and grandfather are doing."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the hospital gate, a rickshaw came from the south, and it was an acquaintance.
"Ma'am, Miss, would you like a ride?"
Huang Wanzhen: "Axiang, what a coincidence."
Ah Xiang smiled innocently, "There are a lot of people taking buses around the hospital. I just sent someone back."
Huang Wanzhen: "How much is Santa Lane?"
Ah Xiang threw the towel over his shoulder and said, "How about thirty copper coins?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded, "Okay."
Huang Mansion in Santa Lane, Xicheng District.
Huang Wanzhen supported Huang Dongshi and watched Axiang drive away with the cart.
"Girl, I think this guy is good. He's tall and he's not a rip-off."
Huang Wanzhen: "But he is too poor."
Huang Dongshi: "It's better to be poor. Only when you are poor will you be willing to marry into my family."
Huang Wanzhen: "If mother thinks it's a good idea, and my sister has no objection, then we can ask someone to check his past."
Huang Dongshi: "Wouldn't that cost money again?"
"My daughter, when will you be able to make money? My dowry is not enough to spend."
Huang Wanzhen: "How about I try to write two manuscripts and submit one?"
Huang Dongshi: "Where to go?"
Huang Wanzhen: "Newspaper company, I've been reading a lot of newspapers recently and I think it's not impossible."
Huang Dongshi flicked her handkerchief and walked towards the door. "No chance. The newspapers only publish royal proclamations and famous people's essays. I've never heard of a woman's writing being published in the newspapers."
Huang Wanzhen sneered, "The Qing Dynasty has fallen, so where is the 'imperial proclamation'? I won't laugh at you, and you don't have to attack me either."
That night, Huang Wanzhen sorted through dozens of newspapers and wrote a short story.
The next day, I excitedly took a rickshaw to the post office.
Busy days always pass quickly.
Ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and the three novels I submitted were ignored.
Huang Wanzhen, who was still worried a few days ago, has no time to worry about it these days. She wants to raise money for the foot radiotherapy operation.
She didn't plan to move the calligraphy and paintings, not because she loved them too much, but simply because she didn't understand them and was afraid of being cheated if she took them out.
He gathered seven or eight pieces of jewelry, including gold, jade, and silver, wrapped them in silk, put them in a cloth bag, picked it up, and went to the front yard.
"Axiang, have you eaten yet?"
Huang Wanzhen greeted and walked to Axiang, who was cleaning the rickshaw.
"After eating, you can leave right away." A Xiang said with a smile.
Huang Wanzhen nodded and got into the rickshaw directly.
As July arrived, the weather became hotter. Mrs. Huang felt sorry for her daughter having to go out early and come back late to attend classes, so a few days ago, she asked a middleman in the street to find a rickshaw driver who lived there.
It was not easy to get this coachman. Mrs. Huang looked at many of them before deciding on one, and she even paid a lot of extra money to the middleman for this.
Shen Junru is a girl who loves reading. No matter how early Huang Wanzhen comes, she will always have a book in her hand when she sees her.
"Good morning, Teacher Shen. What are you reading today?" Huang Wanzhen greeted.
Shen Junru put down the book with a smile, "It's an English novel, very interesting. I'll lend it to you after I finish reading it."
Huang Wanzhen nodded. "Sure, I was thinking of finding a way to make money. I've submitted three manuscripts, but haven't gotten any responses. I'm thinking if that doesn't work out, I'll try translating foreign novels."
Shen Junru looked at her in surprise, "Are you short of money?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded. "Well, our family relies on my mother's dowry to survive. We may have to find a husband for my sister soon. We only have money going out and no money coming in. We can't hold on for much longer."
Shen Junru frowned and said, "I see. If I had known, I wouldn't have charged you tuition."
Huang Wanzhen quickly waved her hands, "No, you're charging a low enough price. If you don't charge me anything, I'd be embarrassed to come to class with such a licking face."
"Besides, you also provided me with a meal. If you calculate it carefully, I don't know who is losing out."
Shen Junru said gently, "You don't have to belittle yourself. Your arithmetic and foreign language skills are not inferior to mine, but your Chinese is a little behind. Having you accompany me to study every day not only makes me feel much better, but also helps me gain a lot."
"My father works in the Ministry of Education. If you're willing to teach children, I can ask for you."
Huang Wanzhen shook her head. "My Chinese is so poor. If I teach children, wouldn't that be misleading? Forget it. Let's just take it one step at a time."
