Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

This was also the first time that Chen Yijun met Zhong Yuemin. She had heard of the name from her daughter. During this period, the girl went out every day, and every time she came back, she had a smile on her face. As a mother, how could she not know what was on her daughter's mind? Now that she had brought him home, this was further confirmed. But this girl was really something. If you brought him back, you should at least tell us in advance.

This makes it a bit awkward, as one second I was discussing marriage with my 'in-laws' and the next second a 'son-in-law' pops up.

"Old Zhou."

Li Hailong came up at this time, looked at Zhong Yuemin, and said to Zhou Zhennan:

"This novel 'Bright Sword' is quite right up my alley. I can't put it down. Was it written by this young man?"

Zhou Zhennan nodded.

"Heroes are truly born young, young man. At your age, you've certainly never been a soldier, let alone fought in a war, yet you've been able to write such a realistic, unpretentious, and authentically depicting the cruelty of war and the bravery of soldiers. Such an excellent war story is truly remarkable."

"Deputy Commander Li, you are too kind!"

Zhong Yuemin said modestly:

"In front of you and Uncle Zhou, I absolutely cannot bear the title of hero. Without you who bravely sacrificed your lives on the battlefield, shedding sweat and blood to kill the enemy, there would be no New China, and no people living and working in peace and contentment today. The protagonist of my book is actually based on heroes like Uncle Zhou and Deputy Commander Li. Only when the protagonist of a novel has flesh and blood and soul can we better show readers the cruelty of war, the extraordinaryness of heroes, and the hard-won New China. Therefore, you are the true heroes of the War of Resistance."

"Hahaha……"

The two laughed heartily, and Li Hailong said:

"Old Zhou, did you hear that? You're a writer after all, so eloquent and flattering, I'm feeling flattered. Okay, today is a private family gathering, there's no deputy commander involved. You can still call me Uncle Li, isn't that unfair?"

"No, no, it's my honor!"

Zhong Yuemin waved his hands, "Uncle Li!"

Chen Yijun said, "Everyone is here. I'll bring the food over. Let's have dinner."

Shen Lan followed him to the kitchen, and Zhou Xiaobai also went up to help.

The food was served at a long table, and the seating arrangement was quite particular. Zhou Zhennan and Li Hailong sat side by side at the head, with Chen Yijun and Shen Lan sitting on their left and right, followed by a few younger people. Zhou Huaihai pulled out the chair next to Li Yuanchao.

"Little sister, come, sit here."

"Brother, please sit down. I'll just sit here."

Without waiting for a reply, he pulled out a chair and sat down next to Zhong Yuemin. Zhou Huaihai had no choice but to sit next to Li Yuanchao.

Chen Yijun greeted, "Shen Lan, there's nothing special to treat you, let's just eat something casually."

"There are so many dishes already, that's enough!"

Chen Yijun put some food into Li Yuanchao's bowl and said, "Yuanchao, come to Aunt Chen's house, just like at home. Don't be polite, just help yourself to the food."

"Hey, thank you Aunt Chen."

Shen Lan also picked up some food for Zhou Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, come, you eat too."

Zhou Xiaobai could only take it, feeling unhappy in his heart, "What are you doing? Mom is really something, how can this be?" He forced a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Aunt Shen."

But she had a trick, she picked up a piece of chicken for Zhong Yuemin,

"Eat too! Don't just stand there! Do you want some wild rice stems? I'll get them for you. Do you want some spare ribs? I'll get them for you. Do you want some tofu? I'll get them for you..."

After a while, the food was piled up into a small mountain without him eating a single bite. Others looked at him with strange eyes, feeling a little embarrassed. This silly girl was the same. She knew that you were protecting me, but you should not be too "complacent". However, she was quite touched.

"Xiaobai, I'll do it myself. You can eat too."

"Hey, little sister, you've finished all the dishes. Are we still going to eat?"

Zhou Xiaobai hummed, "Second brother, there are still so many", and picked some for his second brother.

"Is that enough?"

Zhou Huaihai said: "Their aid to North Korea is still empty."

"Brother, you don't have hands?" Zhou Xiaobai said, "You're closer to him, so just pinch him. I can't reach him."

Zhou Huaihai choked. This girl definitely did it on purpose today.

Li Yuanchao said politely, "Brother, it's okay. I can pick it up myself."

Shen Landao:

"Hey, Xiao Zhong, Xiaobai just mentioned that you're also from the main compound, Courtyard No. 2, right?"

Li Yuanchao interrupted, "Mom, Yuemin works in a ministry compound, and his father is a vice-minister."

"Yuan Chao, do you still know Yue Min?" Chen Yijun asked.

Li Yuanchao nodded. "Not only do we know each other, we're also very good friends, right, Yuemin?"

Zhong Yuemin nodded.

"Yuemin is a loyal man with a good temper and a strong character. His father is still in there 'studying', and he's the only one at home, yet he manages his daily life perfectly. If it were me, I wouldn't be as strong-willed as him. I really admire him."

This statement is apparently a compliment, but in reality it is telling everyone that Zhong Yuemin's father made a mistake and is now in prison, and whether he can get out is another matter.

Shen Lan asked, "Xiao Zhong, has your father's problem been resolved now?"

"Not yet, but I think it will be resolved sooner or later."

"Don't be discouraged, child!" Shen Lan said with concern:

"Your father will definitely be fine, but it will be hard for you. You want to join the army or find a job in an institution in the future, and I'm afraid it will be affected. This will not delay you."

After all, they are mother and son, both harboring evil intentions. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile:

"Aunt Shen, thank you for your concern. Even if I don't join the army and don't work, I won't starve to death. I earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in royalties from writing novels. Even if I stay at home and do nothing, I think I should be able to live a comfortable life."

Shen Lan choked and said, "Cough cough cough..." in shock:

"This...how much can a novel earn?"

"Aunt Shen!"

Zhou Xiaobai spoke up to help her man regain his dignity, saying:

"Not every novelist can earn so much in royalties. Yuemin is really capable. 'Drawing Sword' has sold over 100,000 copies so far, and Manager Wang of Xinhua Bookstore is urging him to write the next one. Just now, Yuemin received over 5000 yuan in royalties. Yuemin, show it to Aunt Shen and my mom..."

The hand beneath him tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Hurry up."

Zhong Yuemin took out the thick envelope from his bag and poured out the money...

I can't say I'm shocked. You all come from well-off families, so this amount of money isn't out of place. I just think it's really impressive that you, a young man of 18 or 19, can earn so much money just by writing.

After dinner, Zhou Zhennan and Li Hailong were chatting on the sofa in the living room, while several women were cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. Zhong Yuemin and Li Yuanchao were talking at the door.

"Yuemin, you won't blame me, right?"

"How to say?"

"It's just Xiaobai and I..." Li Yuanchao said:

"That's not what I meant. It's my mom who chose Xiaobai, and I just had to catch her. I really had no choice!"

Zhong Yuemin didn't say anything, just watched the performance, and then the other party changed the subject,

"But a girl as outstanding as Xiaobai is indeed very attractive, don't you think, Yuemin? Haha!"
