Chapter 147 How Much Money Did Xiaoxi Actually Earn?
Chapter 147 How Much Money Did Xiaoxi Actually Earn?
Back home, Lin Xi instantly felt refreshed and finally had the mood to "shop".
On the system interface, the Love Coins gleam brightly, golden in color.
I actually received the system notification yesterday, but I wasn't excited at the time. Even if it were a million, I wouldn't feel anything.
It was only then that I realized how incredibly wealthy I had become!
She finally understood the nouveau riche mentality: having money but not knowing how to spend it.
After browsing through the system's shop, I laughed at my own naivety. Ha, a mere 60 is simply not enough to spend!
I want this, I want that, I want it all!
After careful consideration, I bought Grandpa a Guyuan Pill and 100,000 Love Coins.
Uncle Liu Erli: One bone-strengthening pill, 100,000 charity coins.
One memory pill and 150,000 love coins for myself.
Grandpa's Gu Yuan Dan was already ordered. Uncle Liu Erli eats bone-strengthening biscuits every day, which costs 100,000 yuan a year. It's better to just take the Gu Yuan Dan directly.
A memory pill? Who wouldn't want to remember everything they see?
At this stage, I need to continuously improve my intelligence; everything else can wait.
She has 25 yuan left, which she plans to keep for a rainy day.
Children from poor families are used to being frugal, and they dare not spend all their money even if they have it.
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were few. Lin Guiying and a few others gathered in the courtyard to discuss an important issue.
Lin Guiying: "If we move to the city, how big of a house should we rent?"
Lin Dayuan: "If we reopen the store, how big should the shop be?"
Lin Guojun hit the nail on the head: "That depends on how much money we have, right?"
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "How much money do we have?"
Lin Guojun pointed it out again, "Then it depends on how much Xiaoxi earned, right?"
Lin Dayuan glanced at his father without saying a word, but the disdain in his eyes was obvious.
He has never been fond of spending his children's money.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong? The measly little you earn can't even compare to a fraction of Xiao Xi's!"
"Dad, after deducting all expenses and employee salaries, we still make about ten thousand yuan a month!"
How come it's just a pittance?
"Xiao Xi needs to add another zero to this."
Lin Dayuan persisted, "How did you know?"
“I did the math. The royalties alone have already made you disappear without a trace, not to mention the book sales revenue, and the movie rights too. Liu Pei, the one who invited us to the movies, also bought two more of Xiao Xi’s novels.”
"How did you know that?"
Lin Guojun blinked, incredulously saying, "You didn't know? It was just about the press conference! You guys were really only looking at the celebrities?"
It really is.
Just as they were looking at the back of the other person's head, Liu Pei sat down next to Lin Xi and started talking about copyright.
One party offers a high price out of gratitude and appreciation. The other party, out of trust and understanding, avoids unnecessary words.
In less than five minutes, the two quickly finished their conversation and signed a contract, thus concluding a deal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There was no hesitation or delay.
"We can't spend the child's money!"
Lin Guojun rolled his eyes at her, "We spent less? Your shop opening costs, buying the tricycle, buying the shop, upgrading and decorating, weren't all paid for by Xiao Xi? She hasn't paid back a single penny yet."
Oh, and all the clothes we're wearing were bought by Xiaoxi.
Lin Dayuan lowered his head in shame, but when he saw the designer shoes on his feet, he felt even worse. Sigh, those shoes were also bought by his daughter.
How did I end up living a life dependent on my daughter?
Lin Guojun could tell from his son's expression that he was upset, so he explained, "It's not that I'm a shameless old man who insists on spending money, it's just that I'm afraid the house will be too small and the child will feel wronged. With the money you have, after renting the shop, you can only rent a tiny house, probably not even as spacious as our chicken coop. We can tolerate that, but are you willing to let Xiaoxi tolerate it?"
Lin Dayuan immediately gave in, "Alright, I'll talk to Xiaoxi about it later."
Lin Guiying, who had been silent for a while, asked with a dazed look in her eyes, "Tell me, how much money did Xiaoxi actually earn?"
……
Lin Xi came out and saw her family squatting on the ground, each of them drawing circles with a stick. "What are you playing?" she asked.
Lin Dayuan threw down the stick. "Cough cough, that's not all. Xiaoxi, Dad's going to the city to look at houses tomorrow, and I might... have to borrow money from you again..."
"Hey, Dad, don't tease me. Why borrow money? What's mine is yours. Your daughter earns money incredibly fast. In a few days, Danyang will give you a bonus, which you can spend as much as you want."
Lin Dayuan chuckled, feeling both guilty and proud for spending his daughter's money.
"But Dad, don't rush about the house. Leave it to me. You just need to find a shop. The area should preferably be no less than 100 square meters, so we don't have to renovate it later."
Lin Dayuan thought it would be good for his daughter to look for a house herself, so she could find one she liked...
"Is 100 square meters too big?"
“No, Dad, it’s not big at all, trust me.”
Lin Dayuan immediately nodded, "Okay!"
It seems like he wasn't the one who was just questioned.
Lin Guiying, who had been lost in thought, asked a completely unrelated question, "Xiao Xi, how much money have you actually made?"
She had been scratching at the ground for ages, but still couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know either, Dad, let's check it out tomorrow."
"Oh right, Dad, this is a bone-strengthening pill for Uncle Liu. It's permanent, so he won't need to eat cookies anymore."
"Grandpa, this is your Qi-strengthening Pill."
Lin Guojun accepted the gift reverently, clasped his hands together, and looked up at the sky. "Xiao Xi's master, thank you! Thank you for your continued protection. May you be happy every day, may your magic grow stronger, and may you eat and drink well and have a smooth journey in the celestial realm. If there is anything in the mortal world that can help you, please use your supernatural powers to let me know..."
Lin Dayuan looked at the pill in his hand, somewhat puzzled. Do immortals need the blessings of mortals?
But still, mimicking his father, he said, "Xiao Xi's master, on behalf of Erli, I thank you. I wish you, I wish you..."
My dad already said, so what should I say as a blessing?
Lin Xi interrupted their ceremony, saying, "Alright, alright, Master said he received it and that you don't need to be so polite in the future."
Lin Guojun immediately stuffed the pill into his mouth, having run out of words.
Chewing and chewing, still wanting more, he said, "Delicious! My stomach feels warm, and I feel full of energy, like I'm twenty years younger!"
Lin Dayuan looked on with envy; he wanted to try it too.
Lin Xi couldn't bear to see her father like that, but given his age, taking the Qi-strengthening Pill wouldn't be very effective.
"Xiao Yi, is there anything suitable for my dad to eat?"
"Junzi Dan doubles the improvement of various bodily functions; the better one's constitution, the better the effect."
"What function is it?!"
"The five internal organs, bones and muscles, and other wonderful benefits can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words."
“Okay, this name sounds perfect for my dad.”
"Cheng Hui 150,000 Love Coins".
"Is this what you call sincerity and wisdom? A Qi-stabilizing pill only costs 100,000."
"So, do you want it or not?"
"want!"
A green pill appeared in his hand; the color was really not good.
"Dad, this is for you."
Lin Dayuan was surprised to find himself included, and his expression became slightly excited.
