This way, they can earn 120 to 160 yuan a month, which seems like a lot, right? But Shen Wenjiao and her two daughters also spend a lot every month!

Rent, water, electricity, security fees, etc., plus Shen Wenjiao has always been willing to spend money on food and drink, so most of the monthly royalties have to be deducted.

How much money can be saved each month depends on whether the stores Shen Wenjiao visited recently are expensive ones!

Ever since Ms. Feng Ya strongly opposed Shen Wenjiao's involvement in some dangerous things, Shen Wenjiao has calmed down, but she still wants to cause trouble in her heart.

However, she knew she had to leave a safe and secure way out for herself and her mother!

The most admirable thing about the revolutionary predecessors is that they sacrificed their lives and everything for the country and their beliefs. But Shen Wenjiao felt that she was just an ordinary person and did not have such a broad mind. If she had 100 yuan, she would be willing to contribute 50 yuan for the country.

She will keep the rest to ensure her own life.

After facing her own weakness and selfishness, Shen Wenjiao had to admit that it was fortunate that she did not truly join the Red Party with all her heart. If she had such a weak revolutionary will, she would probably have become a traitor after being arrested and tortured a few times!

Now, Shen Wenjiao looked at Zhang Ruolin who was busy and hardworking every day, and she was too embarrassed to accuse him of being weak and quit!

"Anyway, if I want to buy a small building to collect rent, I'll probably have to work really hard for a few years!"

It would take more than ten years without food or drink! The landlady’s dream is not easy to realize!

"Jiaojiao, why did you suddenly think of buying a house? Isn't it quite good where we live now?" After a careful calculation, Ms. Feng Ya was also shocked by her daughter's ambition. Why did she suddenly think of buying a house?

Shen Wenjiao drank the remaining soy milk in the bowl in one gulp and sat upright looking at her mother.

"Mom, I didn't come to Shanghai for fun, I want to go to college. Look at Mr. Peng on the second floor, he goes out early and comes back late, it's not easy to go to college. You said that by then, how can I have time to write this and that to make money? I'd better prepare early, college is at least four years!"

Ms. Feng Ya moved her lips twice, thinking that maybe we should not go to college! In her opinion, her daughter Jiaojiao is already capable enough, and can earn so much every month before going to college. There is no point in going to college.

But seeing Shen Wenjiao's eyes sparkling when she mentioned going to college, Ms. Feng Ya, as a mother, couldn't open her mouth. Her daughter wanted to be a college student, how could she, as a mother, hold her back?

In fact, Shen Wenjiao was not without money, but it was a bit far from what she wanted to buy a safe house in the concession.

Having come to this point, Shen Wenjiao thought of all the subsequent royalties from "The Great Tang Dynasty" that she had donated so easily with just her mouth. She felt a little distressed but she didn't have the nerve to regret it.

Forget it, forget it, there is still time. Shen Wenjiao is confident that since she can write "The Great Tang Dynasty", she will definitely be able to write better ones in the future.

"Miss Xu's building is only near the concession, so the security is very good. If it is inside the concession, it will be even better. If I can buy such a small building in the concession, mother will help collect the rent, and we won't have to worry about our lives, right? When the time comes, I will go to college and be busy, and I won't have to worry about the family losing its source of income."

In fact, the house in the concession was a backup plan that Shen Wenjiao had thought of after careful consideration. As a child, even if she was willing to take risks, she had to make sure her parents were well settled.

Oh, Mr. Shen doesn't need her to worry too much. He has many children. It's good enough that she doesn't cause him any trouble!

Shen Wenjiao curled her lips, thinking of the last time she saw her father's name in the newspaper. He really forgot the pain after the wound healed, and even dared to flirt with the Japanese, and even had the nerve to speak publicly in the newspaper, saying that education should be reformed and that we should learn more from the advanced educational concepts of the Japanese.

"Then we should spend less in the future, Jiaojiao, and you should be careful too." Ms. Feng Ya was very moved by the future her daughter had outlined, and immediately expressed her willingness to save the family's expenses to support her idea.

"No, mother. Money is not saved, it is earned. Look, I made forty dollars just by writing a movie review for Miss Xu. If I write more in the future, I will definitely make more."

Then I can see if I can start some other side businesses, and the money will come in like a flood!

Ms. Feng Ya looked at her confident daughter thoughtfully and asked curiously, "Jiaojiao, don't you have a novel to write with many drafts? Why haven't I seen you continue writing it recently?"

Ms. Feng Ya watched her daughter write a long notebook. It was said to be an outline, but how come there is no follow-up for such a long time?

Shen Wenjiao froze up at her mother's words. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "I don't think I can finish writing 'Daughter Village'. Mother, I have never lived a life of real poverty. My writing is a bit too idealistic!"

Not only had Shen Wenjiao never experienced the kind of poor life with nothing, she had never even seen a poor person.

"Jiaojiao, mother doesn't understand what idealism is. Mother knows that what you said at the beginning, mother wants to know and understand. We always say that studying is good, but mother doesn't think there is anything good in studying. If you don't eat or drink properly, the money for buying paper and pens is better used to eat more meat, at least it will go into your stomach!"

Ms. Feng Ya took her daughter's hand and carefully felt the calluses on her fingers, feeling a little distressed.

"But the Erni in your novel, that is, Annie, is completely different after reading books! She knows how to identify poisonous herbs and can treat diseases in time. She knows how to use knowledge of mechanics and physics to set traps and catch prey. She even knows a lot of strange things that can expose the scams of liars."

The more Ms. Feng Ya spoke, the more excited she became. In her eyes, the Anne in her daughter's imagination was like a fairy who could solve any difficulties and nothing could stump her.

Anne lived the life she imagined, or the life she longed to live.

"Jiaojiao, you should continue writing. It's just a story. It's not that easy to build a city with only women. The various little bits of knowledge you write in it will help many, many people."

Shen Wenjiao had no idea how all kinds of knowledge were blocked from the poor today. To give a simple example, most people didn't know how to make tofu. In Shen Wenjiao's eyes, this was a simple thing, not even a secret recipe.

"Then I'll continue writing~"

"Write it, Mom wants to read it!"

Very good, this is her mother who is urging her to submit her manuscripts and is watching her every day!
