Chapter 9 "Innate Killing Pet Holy Body"

The quarrel between his second aunt and cousin reminded Yunzhen of unpleasant memories.

She still remembered that when she just graduated from university, she was very worried about her job. Because she didn't want to join a chemical company that did not match her major, she went to Shencheng alone and finally got a job as a planner in an advertising company.

I was very confused at the time and didn’t know whether this decision was right or wrong. I just followed the crowd and came to the big city, hoping to find my own opportunities here.

However, this job is extremely tiring. It is normal to change the plan over and over again. The boss has a bad temper and harsh scolding can often be heard in the office. The superiors of various departments also like to treat young subordinates as errand girls. If they don't do what they want, they will be said to be arrogant and unable to endure hardship.

The salary is only 9000 yuan, which is a very good amount for second- and third-tier cities, and even acceptable to local people who don't have to worry about mortgage and car loans.

But Shencheng is a super first-tier city with a very high consumption level. As a migrant worker, she spent 5000 yuan on rent, water and electricity alone, not to mention the expenses for commuting, food, and daily necessities.

There is an unspoken rule in the office of treating everyone to afternoon tea, and colleagues have to attend dinner parties every one or two months. Money has to be spent on everything, and I have to budget and plan my expenses carefully every day, which puts me under considerable financial and mental pressure.

Whenever she encountered an emergency or needed to take medicine due to illness, she would inevitably spend more than her salary, and even have to use her savings - which contained the New Year's red envelopes she had received since she was a child, and the pocket money her parents gave her every month.

After working hard for nearly four years, I didn't save any money at all.

Sometimes I even have to pay for work, which is ridiculous.

It really fits the saying: Shencheng makes money, Shencheng spends it, and once you leave, you want to take it home.

Being a "moonlight clan" is a last resort, while entering the industry as a part-time online writer due to lack of money is a coincidence.

When she finally realized that there was no hope of promotion and her future was bleak at her job, her royalties had just stabilized at around 6 or 7 yuan per month.

She developed an unparalleled passion for writing stories, and all her bitterness and depression were soothed by this part-time job.

So she resigned, resolutely returned to her hometown, and decided to become a full-time online writer.

Yunzhen’s hometown, Yacheng, is a typical third-tier city. Yunzhen’s parents bought two adjacent commercial houses in the city center 150 years ago. Ten years ago, when they were financially better off, they demolished the one-story commercial house and rebuilt it into two three-story buildings. The single-story area of ​​each building is square meters.

Of these two small buildings, one is the residence for their family of three, and the other is the dowry that Yunzhen's parents prepared in advance.

All the decoration and furniture were added slowly over the years. The materials used are fine and the quality is guaranteed, so it looks no different from a new house now.

Mr. and Mrs. Yun are very popular among their neighbors, and their home often has guests visiting.

Yunzhen wanted an absolutely quiet creative environment, so after returning home, she cleaned up her dowry building, converted the second bedroom next to the master bedroom on the second floor into a study, bought new bookcases, desks and computers, and then moved into the small building to concentrate on her creation. She would only go back next door to reunite with her parents for meals and during the New Year holidays.

Yun's father and mother had no objection to this. The old couple are still very affectionate and loving. They are even happier without the distraction of the electric light bulb. They don't need to worry about saying some cheesy private words or chatting with friends while eating melon seeds.

Yunzhen knew that her parents were actually very worried about her work situation, but they never said anything against it. Instead, they silently supported her with their actions.

She had no dreams in the past. She studied hard just to get first place in the exam. She only looked at the rankings when choosing a university and never thought about what she wanted or what suited her.

But when she started writing, the dream took shape.

She wants to write works that are popular with readers, wants to make achievements in the field of novels, and wants to prove that her choice is right!

People fight for a breath of air, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. She doesn’t want to be looked down upon by her second aunt’s family. She wants to be the pride of her parents!

***
At lunch, Yunzhen put three bottles of Coke and Sprite without caps on the table, and then started eating without saying a word.

Father Yun, who had just returned home, already knew what happened in the morning. Seeing that his daughter was in a bad mood, he teased her with a smile: "Why don't these bottles of soda have bottle caps? You didn't exchange them for 'another bottle', did you?" Yun Zhen was a little speechless: "How can there be 'another bottle' now? I have other uses for those bottle caps."

Mother Yun glared at her and guessed with a hint of annoyance, "You're using it as writing material again, right? You're just wasting money on weird things."

Although he said that, there was no hint of blame on his face.

Ever since Yunzhen started writing, all kinds of strange things have appeared in his home.

When writing ancient Chinese stories, the materials used were ancient clothes, ancient headdresses, embroidered shoes, etc. Even Yun's mother's first cheongsam and Yun's father's first Tang suit were bought by Yun Zhen with his royalties during that period and given to them.

The previous book was about survival in the wilderness. At that time, I bought compressed biscuits and a multi-functional engineer shovel. The former was eaten as snacks by Mr. Yun and the neighbors, and the latter became a little helper for Ms. Yun in planting flowers.

The two of them were no longer surprised by the appearance of materials at home.

As long as it's not too outrageous, the two elders said they can accept it.

Yunzhen couldn't explain in detail and could only let her mother guess. Remembering that the little human also needed lunch, she took out a small soy sauce dish and took a little bit of the rice and each dish.

Father Yun was puzzled. "Are you going to feed the stray cats? Isn't it too little? Why don't we wait until we finish our meal and then we should have a bowl of hodgepodge left."

Yunzhen didn't like lying to her parents, so she could only answer vaguely, "I just fed him casually. He might not be able to eat if I gave him too much."

Mother Yun looked at her suspiciously: "Are you secretly raising animals again? Have you forgotten the painful lesson you learned before?"

When she was in elementary school, Yun Zhen and a little boy from a neighboring family bought a duckling at the school gate. She was afraid of being blamed by her parents, so she secretly hid the duckling under the bed. Yun's father and mother knew about it but did not expose her.

As a result, her ducklings starved to death because they were fed too little. However, the neighboring boy successfully raised the ducks, and they even laid a bunch of duck eggs. Then he happily invited her to visit.

I learned ancient poetry in junior high school and thought that fish playing on lotus leaves was very poetic, so I excitedly bought a ceramic fish tank, a few goldfish and lotus seeds.

After less than two months of raising them, all the goldfish died. Even though the water lilies sprouted and grew leaves, they died before they could bloom due to lack of sunlight.

When she was in high school, she liked the artistic conception of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely seeing the southern mountains", so she bought a few pots of colorful chrysanthemums online and planted them. As a result, the chrysanthemums gradually withered after blooming for half a year, and she still can't figure out the reason.

The big bag of fertilizer bought at that time was later used by my mother to plant bougainvillea. Yunzhen went to see it and found that the bougainvillea were growing very well, with lush branches and leaves, and colorful flowers, looking full of vitality.

This long and bloody history of planting and raising pets is a past that Yunzhen cannot bear to look back on.

Father Yun once laughed at her loudly and named her "the innate killing pet holy body".

Since then, Yunzhen has never kept any pets or planted any seeds. If he likes furry things, he goes to pet stores and cat cafes, but he is determined not to keep any living things.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen felt a little guilty and short of breath, but still firmly denied: "I don't have pets, I just provide humanitarian assistance to them."

The little human is so strong that she won’t kill him.

These adults eat these meals normally and are living healthy lives now.
