Chapter 300 The family starts giving living expenses
She took a spoonful from her sister-in-law's food and thought it tasted good.
"Aunt He's cooking is really good."
"That's right, she can do quite a lot of things."
While tidying up, Fu Huaiyi suddenly handed Lin Yuyao a deposit slip.
A deposit slip for 1,000 yuan.
Lin Yuyao was a little confused, "How come you still have a thousand?"
"My dad gave it to me before I left home."
"Huh? What kind of money is this?"
"Give us our living expenses."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"Why are you suddenly giving us living expenses? Didn't you say that your family stopped giving you money after you started working?"
"Yes, but my dad said that now that we're married, my family doesn't need to give me living expenses, but they have to give you living expenses. This money is actually for you."
This made her quite embarrassed.
"Maybe we should tell them that I can actually make money too."
“They know.”
Lin Yuyao: "You know?"
"Yes, Ya Tong told them everything, but Grandpa told them not to make a fuss about it."
"Do they know I can make money?"
"Of course I know, but I don't know how much money you can make."
Holding the deposit slip, she felt a mix of emotions.
How much did you have for living expenses before?
"Five hundred yuan a month."
Holy crap, five hundred yuan?
These were prices from a few years ago.
No wonder he was taken advantage of.
No wonder Grandpa said he spends money extravagantly.
He spent a lot of the gold bars his grandmother gave him to cover his living expenses.
What a waste of money!
Spending money is the right thing to do. If rich kids didn't squander their money, where would the GDP come from?
Wait a minute.
She then asked, "How much pocket money does your sister get each month?"
"It's also five hundred."
She's in high school.
Will she be able to spend all of it?
"I spent eighty yuan on your book. It's fine when there's no holiday, but when there is a holiday, five hundred yuan can be wasted without a penny left."
Oh, it seems his sister is about the same age as him.
Wait a minute.
"what?"
Lin Yuyao was shocked. "The two volumes plus a few beautiful picture cards are only priced at two yuan, but she bought them for eighty yuan. She was ripped off."
"She was definitely ripped off, but she was willing to do it. The normal price is two yuan, but it's signed. You signed hundreds of copies, and some people hoarded them and resold them at high prices."
"Even the highest price wouldn't be this much higher."
"Yes, but she's rich, stupid, and a sucker."
Lin Yuyao: "..." These scalpers are so unethical.
I told you, she's a high school student, she's always at school, where would she spend 500 yuan?
So they ended up being taken advantage of.
They are roughly siblings.
"Won't your parents tell you?"
“My dad would talk about it, but my mom stopped him. She said there’s no time to talk about it now, we’ve already made the money back.”
This... my mother-in-law is emotionally stable and has a really good level of awareness.
Fu Huaiyi said, "Just take the living expenses they're given. Without us squandering them, they wouldn't know how to spend the money they earn."
Lin Yuyao also took the opportunity to consolidate her savings.
They received the betrothal gifts and dowry, and the monetary gifts from close relatives were also given directly to them.
The money gifts given by Fu Huaiyi's friends and Lin Yuyao's friends are also in their hands.
Then there were the gifts from my parents' business partners and my grandfather's friends.
That was a huge sum of money, and she gave it all to her mother-in-law.
They will have to repay these gifts in the future.
Together they have eight thousand, plus the fifty thousand given by Grandpa, they are now almost six households with ten thousand yuan each.
"This much money is enough for us to buy two houses."
Why buy so many houses?
If you don't buy it now, you can buy it in a few years.
Now she wants to use the money to do something even more profitable.
"Does this mean I can do whatever I want with it?"
"Of course, this is your betrothal gift, your dowry. The living expenses are also for you; my parents wouldn't give you any without you. Grandpa won't say anything more about this money; it's for you because they were worried I wouldn't be able to support you. It's all yours; you can do whatever you want with it."
Every word he said was because of her that he had all this money.
But he has the same amount of money to marry someone else.
So it still belongs to him.
However, Lin Yuyao thought, what's his is mine.
"Okay, I plan to open my own studio and stop submitting my work to other publications."
"Open a studio? And you'll be the only one writing in the studio?"
"Of course not. I've thought about it. The studio mainly publishes youth literature magazines. I've checked, and these kinds of magazines sell very well."
"Oh, Ya-tong really likes it, I know, she spends most of her money on it."
That's right, that's exactly how it is right now.
A few years later, I started buying postcards, cassette tapes, albums like crazy...
Fu Huaiyi was somewhat skeptical, "Do you know what kind of girls these days like? Why don't you ask Ya Tong?"
"No need, of course I know. I work in a bookstore, and I don't do it for nothing. I study their preferences every day. The main buyers of these kinds of magazines are young girls, and they are willing to spend money on them. Of course, the content of the magazines will not remain unchanged; it will evolve as they grow up."
Lin Yuyao has already planned it all out: she'll sell the rights to make a TV series in the future, and she'll need them to garner votes.
This is their youth.
"Then I'll serialize my novel in each issue of the magazine, publishing portions of it as a separate post. Leveraging my existing fame, I can advertise for the magazine and boost its sales. Once the magazine becomes popular, that can then support my novel's sales..."
Lin Yuyao told him her thoughts, which surprised him greatly.
He didn't understand these things, but he felt that this joint marketing approach was very effective at building rapport.
Even though his studio is still in its infancy, he can already imagine his house overflowing with money.
How did I say it again?
Just say he's lucky.
When you're a child, your parents take care of you; after you get married, your wife takes care of you.
Why should he need to work hard? Why should he need to worry about making money?
He can just lie down.
"Okay, let's do it that way. If we don't have enough money, we'll go home and get some."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "The money is definitely enough, but we might need some connections."
Fu Huaiyi thought for a moment and said, "I have connections, the Chen family has them, do you still remember Chen Bingzhi?"
“I remember, he was also from Yunhua Publishing House. He even came to our wedding.”
Fu Huaiyi: "..." You actually still remember him after only meeting him twice.
"Yes, that's him. He's not actually from Yunhua Publishing House; he works for the Nancheng Cultural Department. His family has considerable influence there. If you need, I'll take you to visit them next week."
That sounds incredibly impressive.
Lin Yuyao said, "I'm just opening a studio, it's making a mountain out of a molehill by contacting people at the Ministry of Culture. How about this, I'll try to get the permits first, get the studio up and running, and maybe getting the publication number will go smoothly? Then I won't need to find anyone."
"also."
The two spent another day together, their lovey-dovey, before the holiday finally came to an end.
Last night. I have to go to work tomorrow.
He held her tightly, not wanting to let go at all.
"Ugh! I have to go to work tomorrow. Time flies by so fast. I don't want to go."
