After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

"You've fallen for Comrade Kobayashi. Does she know?"

Fu Huaiyi was taken aback, then said, "Don't talk nonsense, nothing like that. I just felt bad for her because we attacked her parents without understanding the situation last time, so I wanted to help her."

Yi Yunshuo: "..." Why is he denying it again?

They're still making excuses.

That's just being stubborn.

……

Lin Yuyao didn't go to work the next day; it was her turn to rest.

She took out her notebook and began writing a novel.

There's also a dictionary next to her; she'll look up any words she doesn't know how to write.

She is actually very unbalanced in her studies; she excels in humanities subjects, especially writing essays.

Unfortunately, he was severely unbalanced in his studies and couldn't get into university.

In her previous life, Lin Yuyao raised her daughter alone, and the meager salary Lu Jiangting gave her was simply not enough to cover her expenses.

Therefore, in her spare time, Lin Yuyao would write some manuscripts and then send them to the magazine.

It can be exchanged for some money, but not much.

But something is better than nothing; exchanging some money can sometimes solve her immediate problems.

Now that she's a librarian, she's suddenly had an epiphany.

Submitting articles to magazines doesn't earn you much money at all.

Because there is more than one author, and there are usually many requirements for submitting a manuscript, if it is finally approved, how much money can you get in a one-time buyout?

But writing novels is different. A novel usually has only one author, and all the royalties go to that author alone.

Moreover, their bestselling novels sell exceptionally well in their bookstores, earning them far more money than magazines.

Furthermore, there are many excellent novelists in mainland China right now. With fewer writers, there is less competition, which presents a huge opportunity for her.

She wanted to make good use of her position as a librarian, read extensively, and see what kind of novels people liked to read.

Before all the flowers bloom, write something good to make a name for yourself.

Isn't this easier and more profitable than running a business?

Without hesitation, Lin Yuyao returned that very day and worked late into the night.

She has written more than 10,000 words so far.

A short story only needs a few hundred thousand words; any more than that wouldn't fit in a single book and would have to be divided into volumes.

"I'll write a practice piece of about 100,000 words first," she told herself.

She didn't go out all day, and when she was hungry she would eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables and drink cold water.

Since it's summer anyway, I'm not afraid of getting diarrhea from drinking cold water.

Until the sun set and night fell.

There was a knock on her door.

Lin Yuyao frowned slightly, gently blew out the lamp, and dared not answer.

To save money, she didn't turn on the electric light, but instead used a kerosene lamp.

Because the lights nowadays are really dim, even if you turn them on, you can't see clearly. It's better to use a kerosene lamp to illuminate the table.

Lin Yuyao tiptoed to the door and peeked through the crack to see who was outside.

She has no friends here, but she can talk to the two girls next door.

But they switched to the night shift a few days ago. They should have already gone to work by now. Who would be knocking on her door?

Could it be that Lu Jiangting has returned?

"Kobayashi, are you there?"

The person outside the door spoke; it wasn't Lu Jiangting, but Fu Huaiyi.

Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Huh? Why is he here again?

"It's Brother Fu, I'm here, please wait a moment."

She had to pull the table aside to open the door.

The door opened, and Fu Huaiyi was standing in the doorway, holding a bottle of medicine in his hand.

"Your leg is badly injured, safflower oil won't work, use this instead."

Lin Yuyao took the medicine. She recognized it; it was a special supply for their unit and couldn't be bought outside.

It has a very good effect on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Lin Yuyao was touched. "Brother Fu, you are such a good person. Thank you."

I?

nice guy?

Fu Huaiyi was a little embarrassed, but he was still quite happy inside.

"So, who's better, me or Lu Jiangting?"

what?

His question left Lin Yuyao completely bewildered.

Fu Huaiyi realized he had asked a stupid question and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, this is for you."

It is a key.

What kind of key is this?

"The bicycle key, the one I rode last time. I've looked at your bike, it's probably beyond repair. Even if it were repaired, it would probably cost you enough to buy a used one, it's not worth it."

Lin Yuyao looked embarrassed as she listened.

She did buy it secondhand, because she was poor.

Lin Yuyao didn't take it, saying, "Your car must be quite expensive. I'm afraid I'll damage it. I won't be staying for more than a few days. I'll find a place to move as soon as possible, so I don't need the car."

"Take it. It's convenient to go anywhere with a car. Give it back to me when you don't need it anymore."

Fu Huaiyi insisted on shoving the key into her hand.

"This..." Lin Yuyao was about to say something when she saw that he had already turned and left.

She was left with no choice but to accept it, feeling embarrassed.

Lin Yuyao understood that people helped her because of their guilt over hurting Lu Jiangting's parents at their doorstep.

But they've already helped her so much; she feels she's already paid them back.

She felt really embarrassed to ask for help.

Forget it, I'll keep it for now and find another opportunity to talk to him about it later, so he doesn't feel guilty. He doesn't owe her anything anymore.

……

The next day, Lin Yuyao saw Fu Huaiyi's bicycle downstairs.

It's pretty new, and it's very easy to ride; it's definitely much better than that old, beat-up bike.

Bicycles were quite expensive back then; his probably cost several hundred yuan. She couldn't afford to pay for it if she broke it.

Lin Yuyao rode exceptionally slowly and carefully, which almost made her late for work today.

Two more days passed, and then the boss, Fu Leyi, came to pay their wages.

Lin Yuyao only worked for half a month last month, actually two days short of half a month, but the boss still gave her half a month's salary, forty yuan.

"Boss, thank you."

Fu Leyi laughed and said, "Why do you always say thank you? Your salary is what you deserve, so just keep it."

"Hey."

"By the way, I haven't been here lately. How's it going? Are you settling in?"

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm used to it. Sister Zhou and Sister Liu are both very nice people, and there are free books to read. There's no better job than this."

"Haha, you're both silly and honest. Okay, if you get used to it, just do a good job."

Fu Leyi paid them their wages, wandered around for a bit, asked them a few casual questions, and then went back.

The car parked at the door belonged to her, and there was a handsome and stylish young man in the driver's seat who very politely held an umbrella for her and opened the car door for her to get in.

Lin Yuyao thought to herself, "This must be the driver I was assigned."

It's nice to have money.

Just as she was thinking this, Zhou Jing said, "That's the boss's husband."

what?

Lin Yuyao looked at Zhou Jing with a surprised expression.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "It doesn't look like it, does it?"

Lin Yuyao: "I thought he was the driver."

"Ha, he's her driver too."

Ok?

"That was the son-in-law her parents found for her to live with them."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, she originally had a brother who died in an accident. There were no sons left in their branch of the family, only her as a daughter, so they found her a son-in-law who would live with them. Their family is quite wealthy and can afford to support a son-in-law who will live with them."
