Chapter 10 The future mother-in-law comes to the door
This is...the future mother-in-law!?
This is Wu Cheng's second thought, the first thought is that she should be Sister Zhi's mother. You can see from the appearance and expression between her eyebrows.
The two girls behind her should be Sister Zhi's sister or sister. I heard that Sister Zhi's family has five brothers and sisters, and she is the fourth child. Their appearance is somewhat similar.
"Auntie, two sisters, please come in!" Wu Cheng smiled toothfully and invited three women to the house respectfully. "What do you have to say? Please come in and say it? I'm afraid that it will have a bad impact on Sister Zhi!" Many of the neighbors around him work in TVB, especially one of the big fat men and the little fat men. The big fat men are named Wang Tianlin, who has just transferred from Dianmao Company to TVB.
This is a great man. His son, Xiao Fatty, is the famous Wang Jing in the future. He can be said to be the originator of shit, pee, and fart commercial films. He is known as the "quick gunner" in the Hong Kong film industry.
However, this little fat man has just graduated from college and is working as a screenwriter in TVB.
That's why Wu Cheng said so.
The woman snorted and walked in with her two daughters, not very good attitude.
Wu Cheng thought it was offensive. No matter what, she was Sister Zhi’s mother. It is very likely that in the future... no, it is not very likely that she will definitely become her mother-in-law.
What's the big deal if you're given a look by your future mother-in-law?
Thinking of this, Wu Cheng smiled.
Seeing that Wu Cheng could still laugh, there was nothing to do with the three women. After all, the person in front of him looked just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, with a pretty face, delicate skin, and outstanding temperament. He was not like the old-fashioned mainland boy who "knows nothing" as they imagined.
"Auntie, two sisters, what do you want to drink?"
"Don't bother you anymore. You really treat this place as your home!" The youngest girl chuckled and joked: "This is my sister's place, I'm more familiar than you!"
Wu Cheng laughed dryly, and then heard Zhao's mother say, "I heard Azhi say, your name is Xiaocheng, right?"
"Yes, aunt, my name is Wu Cheng, you can also call me Xiao Cheng or Chengzai."
"Would you be called 'Little Orange'?"
"A Qian, don't be rude!"
The girl smiled, but the eldest sister taught her a lesson very seriously.
The girl rolled her eyes secretly, grimaced at Wu Cheng, then got up and went to the refrigerator next to her to get a drink. While drinking Coke, she turned around here and there, and finally entered Wu Cheng's room.
"I heard from Azhi that you came here to find relatives. Have you found relatives?"
Faced with Zhao's mother's problem, Wu Cheng had to lie and shook his head and said, "Not yet!"
Zhao's mother nodded after hearing this and said, "Azhi is kind-hearted and willing to take you in. I have no objection. She still has to work and has no time to take care of you. Why don't you move to our place? We have many people there and can take care of you. What do you think?"
Wu Cheng understood that his future mother-in-law thought she was hindering Sister Zhi’s dating, and wanted to lure her away from the mountain to make time for Sister Zhi. This was not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy and dignified.
Wu Cheng naturally couldn't agree, otherwise, with Sister Zhi's appearance, who would know what kind of opponent would appear? This is something that Wu Cheng would absolutely not tolerate.
"This... is really a bit inconvenient!" Wu Cheng scratched his head awkwardly and smiled, thinking about what reason to use to make excuses.
As he was speaking, a girl's scream came from Wu Cheng's room.
Everyone was puzzled and turned around and saw the girl running out with a stack of manuscripts, waving the manuscript to Wu Cheng, shouting: "Little Chengzi, did you write this?"
"Yeah, yes!" Wu Cheng was puzzled, "Is there anything wrong?"
"You are the Wu Cheng who wrote "Hui Ming"?"
"Oh, you said this! It's me!"
"Wow, you are so amazing! How old are you this year? Isn't that big as me? Why do you understand women so much? I'm still so researching the history of the Ming Dynasty... How is it possible?"
The girl Zhao Yaqian shouted loudly, causing the two girls next to her to frown.
Zhao's mother wanted to scold Wu Cheng for refusal! Now that she was fucked, she couldn't help but scold her, "It's so slight, like something! What's the point of making a fuss? Such an adult, she still treats herself as a child!"
"No! Mom, look! What is this?" Zhao Yaqian handed the manuscript to Zhao's mother and smiled: "These few days, my father and brother have been fascinated by the urban entertainment newspaper. My brother also secretly read the novels there. That day, I also read them, and finally found that the historical novel that is not a martial arts, is indeed quite good. But I didn't expect that the author of that book was actually Xiao Chengzi! This is incredible. How old is Xiao Chengzi! Are she twelve years old? No, right!"
Wu Cheng held his right hand with a low hand, coughed slightly on his lips, and said, "Sister Qian is joking. Don't look at me, I'm actually fifteen years old this year. As for the emotional scenes in it, it's just that I have read a lot, and I copied the personalities of the female characters from some books. Don't you say it all! Once you copy articles in the world, it depends on whether you copy them at the right level!"
"Are you really fifteen years old?" Zhao Yaqian sat next to Wu Cheng, stretched out his finger and pointed at his face, and smiled: "Then why are you so young and not maldeveloped?"
Wu Cheng coughed lightly again and said, "That, boys generally develop late, so I am not an exception!" Wu Cheng smiled and finally said to Zhao's mother seriously: "Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. It's not that I don't want to live there, but that I am currently in the creative process. Sister Zhi usually works and her home is quiet, which just provides me with a quiet creative environment..."
"Xiao Chengzi, the Urban Entertainment Newspaper has been very popular recently. Your novel has also become popular. Is there a lot of royalties?" Zhao Yaqian asked with a smile, and finally said, "Do you need an assistant? Look at me? There is absolutely no problem with serving tea and water!"
When he heard Zhao Yaqian mention the manuscript fee, Wu Chengyou wanted to improve his status in front of his future mother-in-law, so he smiled and said, "My manuscript fee cannot be compared with other writers. They are getting fixed manuscript fee, and I get floating manuscript fee. The initial manuscript fee was 40,000 words, but later, for every 10,000 copies of the entertainment reimbursement increase, my manuscript fee increased by 100,000 words. Now, my manuscript fee should be more than 400, and it is estimated that it will become 500,000 words tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."
"Wow! That's too amazing! A thousand words are five hundred, and writing six thousand words on that day is three thousand yuan. One day is equivalent to my second sister's salary for two months..."
Wu Cheng said modestly: "This is just an exception. I believe that there will be no such cheap thing in the future!"
"Then how many words are you going to write in Huiming!?"
Wu Cheng felt that this 'future sister-in-law' was so cooperative, so he smiled and said, "It's probably more than three million words! The newspaper has about 10,000 words a day, and it's probably going to be serialized for one year."
The women made up their minds silently, and then they were all dumbfounded.
In other words, if calculated based on the current royalties, he could earn 1.5 million yuan or even more in one year. What is the concept of 1.5 million yuan? In this era when one could buy a house with more than 100,000 yuan, one million yuan is equivalent to ten houses. Even if he wanted to buy a small villa on the island, he could buy two or three houses.
Moreover, in Xiangjiang, people who engage in literary creation generally have a higher status, and the most prominent one is Jin Yong. Now Wu Cheng is also engaged in literary creation. Even if he is a mainlander, who will make a statement about this later? Which one of Jin Yong or Ni Fu, did not come from the mainland?
Gradually, their attitude towards Wu Cheng changed a lot.
After chatting for a while, the three girls rejected Wu Cheng's proposal to invite them to dinner and said goodbye and left.
In fact, Zhao Yaqian wanted to stay, but under the eyes of her mother and sister, she could only pout and leave with helplessness.
In the evening, when Zhao Yazhi came back, Wu Cheng took her bag with a smile, put her slippers on her face, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi, auntie is here today, oh, there are two sisters..."
"Hmm? My mom...why are they here? You didn't make things difficult for you!"
"Where is saying anything, she treats me like a son, so she treats me well!" Wu Cheng Xiaoxiao patted the flattery of his future mother-in-law, and finally smiled and said, "Look, should we go out for a walk in the evening, and buy some gifts for uncles and aunts and others to send them..."
"No need to be so troublesome."
"What's the problem with this!" Wu Cheng smiled directly and said, "This is called a polite question. It would be fine if they didn't come here before. Now everyone has met. If they don't give some gifts, it would be too unreasonable. They all know that I can make money by myself now. If I don't perform, then I will have the shame to continue living with Sister Zhi! If you don't want to rent you, I will give some gifts to uncles and aunts. You can't refuse anymore, unless Sister Zhi actually wants to drive me away!"
"Who said he wanted to drive you away? How long do you love to live?" Zhao Yazhi gave him a pretty look, then reached out and pointed on his forehead, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that the person was not very old and his thoughts were quite old! I don't know who you learned from."
"Hehe... Then you have a rest first and set off later! You can eat outside by the way, so you don't have to do it yourself." Wu Cheng smiled and finally said, holding up Zhao Yazhi's hands and said distressedly: "It's really cheap for Sister Zhi to touch the spatula and do housework with such beautiful hands all day long!"
"???" Zhao Yazhi was puzzled. After thinking for a while, she realized Wu Cheng's words. Then she laughed and bounced on his forehead and said, "Little guy, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing is a fool!" Wu Cheng laughed, looked at Zhao Yazhi lying on the sofa, and said, "Sister Zhi, seeing you are so tired, I will pinch your shoulders and loosen your muscles!"
"Can you do it?"
"You'll know after trying!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Cheng pinched her and fell asleep.
Seeing her so tired, Wu Cheng felt helpless. Finally, he reached out to copy and picked her up. Although the difference between the two was too big in terms of body shape, Wu Cheng's strength was quite strong.
He took her back to the room, covered her with a thin blanket, gently kissed her on the forehead, and then quietly exited the room and closed the door.
After looking around and thinking about it, Wu Cheng's eyes lit up and he walked into the kitchen.
