The good wife and mother worked herself to death, and was reborn to win the game
Chapter 8 The skill of making money is still there
Jiang Wan did not sleep in the afternoon, but sat at the wooden desk and wrote the manuscript seriously.
She was good at Chinese when she was in school, and her composition was especially good. Starting from the first grade, every composition she wrote was read to the whole class by the teacher as a model.
Every time her composition book was corrected by the teacher, it would be covered with red wavy lines, which were all good words and sentences specially marked by the teacher.
At the end of the composition, the teacher always writes a few words of encouragement.
For example, if the idea is very profound and new, and you have a high talent for writing, work hard! You will definitely gain something!
This article is unique, well-conceived and well-structured. It is a pleasure to read your article every time!
Jiang Wan would smile with joy every time he saw the teacher's comments.
The only regret is that she is very bad at math. It was not obvious in junior high school, but when she learned functions in high school, she could not remember a single formula even though she had a very good brain.
Even if she remembered it, she couldn't apply it during the exam. In the end, she gave up completely and only did multiple-choice questions in math.
As a result, her math grades were always terrible, often only around 10 or 20 points, which seriously dragged down her overall score and affected her grade ranking.
The college entrance examination had not been resumed when she was studying. In addition, her math grades were not good and her performance was too unbalanced in other subjects, so she eventually did not continue her studies.
After leaving school, she went to the town to find a temporary job, and she did not forget to write some short articles in her spare time after work.
As I wrote more manuscripts, I began to think about sending them to newspapers and magazines to try.
Unexpectedly, she was lucky and her first manuscript was accepted by a newspaper.
Although she only received a few dollars in royalties, it still brought her great encouragement.
Compared to the few cents a day she earns as a temporary worker, writing an article can be equivalent to her weekly income.
After receiving the royalties, Jiang Wan was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and he worked desperately to write whenever he had free time.
However, after sending it several times, there was no response.
She also thought about giving up halfway, but after all, it was a hobby she had for many years, and even her teacher said that she had a talent for writing.
In fact, for her, writing is not just a way to pass the time in her spare time, but also her dream.
As long as she keeps writing, it means she is pursuing her dream, which means she is still an idealistic person.
If she gave up even this hobby, she would just become an ordinary person who could only do odd jobs.
Jiang Wan didn't want to become like this, so he kept writing.
It was not until she married Cheng Jinnian that she gave up her temporary job and had to interrupt her writing because there were too many things to do at home and in the fields.
For four or five years after she got married she never picked up a pen.
Until one day, I saw an essay call in a magazine.
The content of the essay is about the lives of rural women.
And she happened to be a rural woman who did housework at home every day.
This subject matter suits her very well, and it makes her long-silent heart stir again.
She wrote an article based on herself and sent it to the magazine according to the address provided in the essay competition.
She didn't have much hope when she sent it, but she didn't expect that a month later she would receive a generous sum of money, a magazine for that month, and a letter.
The content of the letter had a profound impact on her, and she still remembers every word of it clearly today.
The letter was written to her by the editor himself, saying that her articles were very spiritual and could easily resonate with people.
Their magazine plans to publish a special feature and encourages her to continue writing in this direction. Her manuscripts will be given priority in the future.
It was from that time that Jiang Wan would write an article and send it to the magazine every once in a while.
She wrote each manuscript very carefully, always using the previous style, and her writing skills improved greatly along the way.
But even so, some manuscripts were not selected.
She did not feel depressed because of this, but kept persisting. Later, the acceptance rate of her manuscripts became higher and higher, and her income became more and more considerable.
In order to prevent her family from discovering her secret, Jiang Wan only picked up letters at the post office.
Every time she submitted an article, she didn't dare to write her real name. She only used a pen name and didn't dare to write her home address.
No matter how covertly she did it, her frequent visits to the post office due to the increase in royalties still attracted the attention of some people.
Jiang Wan carefully deduced the time and concluded that in her previous life, it was probably after the Spring Festival that her mother-in-law stopped giving her a penny for household expenses.
She always said that she was in poor health, and her father-in-law was also in poor health after having a liver transplant. The money that Cheng Jinnian sent back was all used up by them to buy medicine.
As for the family's food, clothing, and living expenses, all fell on her.
Jiang Wan's writing has just started to improve, and the monthly royalties are quite considerable.
She originally planned to save the money for use in her later years.
Later, the mother-in-law kept crying to her that her nephews and nieces asked her for money. Jiang Wan was a soft-hearted person and couldn't hide the money in her pocket.
Since the family was really in difficulty, she endured the unhappiness in her heart and kept taking out money.
Even her adult nephews and nieces found various excuses to ask her for money.
She originally had only a few hundred dollars in savings, and they took it all in less than a year.
Her selfless devotion did not win their respect, but instead whetted their appetite.
Even though Jiang Wan had no money left, they still refused to give in.
The younger ones cried and acted pitiful in front of her, while the older ones asked her for money directly and fiercely.
Seeing that Jiang Wan really couldn't take it out, they tried to commit suicide and used torture in front of her.
Jiang Wan felt sorry for his nephews and nieces, so he had to write articles day and night just to make more money.
Not only did she become a machine for doing housework at home, she also became their ATM.
Because she created too frequently, with only output and no input every day, her inspiration gradually began to dry up.
When he couldn't write anything, Jiang Wan would go to the town to find some odd jobs.
These are the hardest and most tiring jobs, and the money earned is very little, but it is better than nothing.
In her previous life, Jiang Wan couldn’t understand why they always came to her for money. After her new life, many things became clear to her.
They knew clearly that she was a rural woman who did farm work and didn't have much money, but they still kept asking for money and forced her to use up the royalties she had saved before.
They pretended not to know about her writing and didn't care how much money she made in a month. If she ran out of money, they would ask her for it. She would always find a way to get the money anyway.
As for where she got all the money, no one in her family actually cared.
Looking back now, they must have been told by someone a long time ago that she made money by writing articles.
They only wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from her and make her give everything for this family.
They never cared about her life or death. As long as they had food to eat, someone to wash their clothes and someone to spend money on them, that was enough.
In her previous life, she only thought about writing more articles and earning more royalties. Because of the hard work, she forgot to improve herself. As a result, her writing level remained the same and was eventually eliminated by the market.
Living a new life, the previous accumulation and sedimentation have become the most valuable experience.
Now she has put aside the chores at home and devoted herself wholeheartedly to creation. She can clearly feel that what she writes now is completely different from before.
This is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and it is a new understanding and perception of the world by a poor woman who has experienced hardships and luckily lived again.
What she writes now is soulful, profound, and can resonate with people.
Jiang Wan leaned over the table with thoughts pouring out like a spring. She had never experienced this kind of divine feeling when writing in her previous life.
She used to often have splitting headaches because she had to force herself to create even though she had run out of inspiration.
She forgot her original intention and forced herself to write boring text, which was naturally unsatisfactory.
Now she lives for herself and writes for herself. She not only wants to write brilliantly, but also wants to live a fulfilling life and start a completely different life!
