Chapter 362, the first installment's payment—we've struck it rich!
Chapter 362 The first installment of payments brought in wealth!
But why is it that she's the one leaving?
Everyone says that raising children is for old age security, and my parents say that they will rely on their younger brother to support them in their old age.
But given her brother's pathetic state, he'd have a hard time even supporting himself.
He can't even get married without his family's help. Can he really support himself in his old age?
……
By the time their second issue of the magazine was officially released, the first issue had already received payment.
"Yuyao, she returned nearly 30,000 yuan."
Lin Yuyao and Ye Xiaotong were both shocked.
"so much?"
Having seen the world, Song Qin said, "This is nothing. We've only sold a little over 200,000 copies. How can this be considered a lot? Once we grow bigger, monthly sales of several million copies will be no problem."
Ye Xiaotong exclaimed in shock, "Two hundred thousand copies and this much money? If we sell two million copies, that'll be three hundred thousand! My God, how are we going to spend that much?"
Song Qin rolled her eyes at her, "You good-for-nothing girl, 300,000 yuan can only buy a nice imported car."
Ye Xiaotong was so frightened that she swallowed hard.
She didn't dare to imagine what kind of person would spend 300,000 yuan to buy a car. In any case, even if she had 300,000 yuan, she would never spend it on a car.
There's enough meat for her to eat until she dies.
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Let's go to a restaurant to celebrate after work."
"Sure, we can't refuse when the boss says so."
After get off work, the three of them went to a restaurant to celebrate. It was their usual place, and the staff there were already familiar with them.
As soon as Lin Yuyao arrived, she led them into a private room, where tea and snacks were served.
Ye Xiaotong was visiting for the first time and seemed a little reserved.
Seeing the watermelon on the table, I wanted to eat it but was too embarrassed to.
Song Qin handed her a piece, smiling and saying, "Eat it, it's free."
Ye Xiaotong, "It's free?"
"Yes, it's free, they're giving us food, go ahead and eat."
Ye Xiaotong nodded, took a bite, and found it exceptionally sweet.
Perhaps that's the charm of free.
The three of them ordered six dishes and two soups, and each of them packed up the leftovers to take home.
The restaurant provides stainless steel lunch boxes; since we're already familiar with them, I can just wash them and return them after I'm done eating.
As they left the restaurant, they passed a bus stop on the street and unexpectedly saw Lu Jiangting carrying Lu Cong off a bus.
Fang Qing and Wang Cuilan were both there.
"Yuyao?"
Ye Xiaotong instinctively flinched.
Lin Yuyao held her arm to reassure her.
Lin Yuyao said calmly, "Uncle Lu is sick. Uncle Lu is getting old, please take care of your health."
Lu Jiangting was overjoyed. "Yuyao, I didn't expect you to care about my father. We..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuyao interrupted, "We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now. Let's take Uncle Lu back to rest quickly."
Lu Cong lay weakly on Lu Jiangting's back, unable to even lift his eyelids.
Lin Yuyao quickly pulled Ye Xiaotong and Song Qin away.
Once they were out of sight, Ye Xiaotong asked worriedly, "Did they see me?"
“It’s alright. Fang Qing doesn’t know you, Wang Cuilan can’t see, Lu Cong has his eyes closed, and Lu Jiangting…” She paused for a moment and said, “I’ll find a way to shut him up in a bit.”
Song Qin: "Yu Yao, are you going to find him?"
Lin Yuyao shook her head, "He should come to find me in a little while."
Just then, she had something to say.
Ye Xiaotong pulled her along and said, "Yuyao, thank you so much. I'm sorry for troubling you."
"Don't mention it, let's go back first."
……
Lu Cong finished that pack of cigarettes in just one week.
He knew his family wouldn't let him smoke, so he smoked secretly.
Fearing being discovered, he tried to finish the drug use as quickly as possible, but ended up in the hospital because he used too much.
His secret smoking was also discovered.
Lu Jiangting took leave to take him to the hospital, and after the examination, he carried him back on his back.
Wang Cuilan sat to the side wiping away tears, saying, "It's all my fault. It's my fault for not being able to see properly and for not keeping an eye on the old man. Oh, Jiang Ting, if anything happens to your father, I will be the biggest sinner. I won't live anymore. I will pay for the old man's life."
Looking at Lu Cong lying on the bed groaning and moaning, Lu Jiangting sighed deeply.
"Mom, your eyesight isn't good, how can I blame you? Don't cry, what am I supposed to do if you cry yourself blind?"
"Okay, okay, I won't cry. I can't add any more burden to you."
Lu Jiangting sighed heavily again, gave Fang Qing a wink, and the two of them came out of the house one after the other.
"Fang Qing, that pack of cigarettes was for Dad, wasn't it?"
Fang Qing looked aggrieved. "I gave it to him, but I told him that the cigarettes were to be sent to my brother-in-law. My sister helped us sell the shop, so we should buy something to send back as a thank you, right? Dad said he would send it, and I just told him to give him the cigarettes. I never expected that he would hide them and smoke them himself."
Lu Jiangting had a terrible headache. "How could you not have thought of that? Do you know that his illness is caused by smoking too much? The doctor said that he absolutely cannot smoke anymore. How could you give him cigarettes?"
“I didn’t give it to him; he said he would take it to mail. Besides, didn’t he quit smoking?”
"He has quit smoking, but he's been a smoker for decades. If he doesn't see it, fine, but if he does, how can he resist?"
"I...I don't know."
"You still say you don't know? I think you're just not paying attention. If it were Lin Yuyao, she definitely wouldn't let my father see the cigarette."
She accepted all the accusations Lu Jiangting had made against her.
After all, she did it on purpose. She was feeling guilty, and as long as she could kill that old geezer, what did it matter if she got scolded?
It would be worth getting a beating.
But when he later compared her to Lin Yuyao, Fang Qing couldn't accept it.
"Yes, yes, I am not as good as Lin Yuyao, I am not as good as Lin Yuyao in any way, so why don't you marry her?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Why won't he marry Lin Yuyao? How dare she even ask that?
"Why don't I marry Yuyao? If you hadn't insisted on borrowing money back then, would Yuyao and I have ended up like this?"
Fang Qing said angrily, "What do you mean I have to borrow money? I told you I was planning to open my own hair salon, but I didn't have enough money, so I asked you if you had any. When I saw you didn't say anything, I was about to give up and said that it was fine if I didn't have any."
Then you yourself said you still had money, and asked me to wait while you went to raise it for me. It was clearly your own choice, so why are you saying I insisted on borrowing it?
These words were like stabbing him in the back.
Lu Jiangting's expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "Fang Qing, you know perfectly well that I can't refuse if you bring it up, but you still insist on doing it before my marriage to Yu Yao. Do you really think I don't know what your intentions are in borrowing money before the wedding?"
Fang Qing sneered, "Oh, you know that? Then why did you still borrow it?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Fang Qing's words left him speechless, but he was so angry he was almost internally injured.
Why borrow?
Now, with his changed status and shift in thinking, he doesn't even understand why he insists on borrowing.
