1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 50: Reverse Tiangang, Feng Jiayou, you evil creature (ask for monthly ticket

"It's just about writing! Let these young people read more, write more, think more, and reflect more. They will gain something!"

Father Feng still replied gently. He really hoped that the manuscript was written by his daughter, so that he could recommend her without discrimination, which would be even more glorious!
"Okay, well written, well written. I'm going to be pissed off to death by all of you!"

Feng's mother rolled her eyes and wanted to refute. How could it be written well? What was so good about it?

But the manuscript was indeed well-written, and she really had no way to refute it. She could only complain indignantly.

Seeing that Feng Jiayou was not too proud, he said again: "Feng Jiayou, what are you proud of? This manuscript was not written by you?!"

"If your manuscript was half as good as this, I wouldn't have to endure this humiliation!"

This anger comes from the unit!

Although some people did not say it explicitly, Feng's mother could more or less feel that it was because of her daughter's manuscript that she repeatedly abused "lynching", so that their "October" missed such an extremely excellent manuscript.

Now that the sample issue of Yenching Literature has come out, there must be many people secretly comparing her daughter's manuscript published in this issue with this article "The Shepherd".

Once compared, the result is self-evident!

There will definitely be gossip behind her back, and some people may even think that it was because Gu Xueqing wanted to publish her daughter's article that squeezed out the one about "The Shepherd".

Feng's mother is a very sensitive woman. She has also gone through those times. How could she not be able to see through the fickleness of human nature?

So it doesn’t matter if this article “The Horse Shepherd” doesn’t become popular. At most, they just missed an ordinary article in October.

But in fact!

Now it's not just her husband who is praising the book for being a hit. Even Old Liu at work, who got a sample copy and read it, was stunned for more than an hour!
The first thing he said after coming to his senses was to exclaim, "It's better than Scars. No wonder Li Qingquan dared to make the front page headlines!"

Then came that resentful look, not to mention how much regret he felt!
"Mom! Why are you talking about me again? It's just a manuscript, isn't it? Who can let a big director like you suffer so much?" Feng Jiayou really wanted to say, "Mom, this manuscript was written by me, but it was written by your son-in-law. Are you surprised?"

"Why? Lao Liu and the others wouldn't do that, would they? Didn't they say that the first draft they'd submit to you in October would be this one?"

Father Feng also looked at her in astonishment. Was she being bullied at work? This was unacceptable!
Besides, didn’t she say that this manuscript was not the first draft submitted to them in October? The editor in their editorial department had no impression of the article “The Horse Shepherd” at all.

So it should be that Jiayou and her classmate changed the manuscript and submitted it to Yenching Literature. It was not that they made a mistake in October or missed the manuscript!

"Not really! But I think that I am doing Feng Jiayou a favor, and my strict requirements on her are not welcomed by her. She keeps clamoring to apply for the Beijing Literature Program!"

"Now, her classmate really applied to Yanjing Literature, and Li Qingquan picked up a treasure. Tell me, am I angry?!"

Feng's mother complained madly to the father and daughter, but Feng Jiayou, the debt collector, seemed to be gloating over their misfortune, with a smug smile on his face that he didn't even try to hide.

"Feng Jiayou, can you please take care of your mother's current mood?"

"And I have something to tell you! Please help me get an article for your classmate Cha Jianying!"

"Old Liu has gone crazy this time and is ready to spend a lot of money. As long as it's her manuscript and it's as good as this one, we'll charge her the maximum price of 7 yuan per thousand words!"

They have missed the manuscript of "The Shepherd", but they cannot miss the author's next manuscript in October!

Just now, when Lao Liu was reading "The Horse Shepherd", it took him more than an hour to come back to his senses.

She immediately made a firm decision to get Li Qingquan back as the author and told the editorial department to contact the author and get one or two manuscripts.

As for the royalties?

Liu Xinwu directly calculated the highest price of seven yuan per thousand words. He still didn't believe that Li Qingquan was so generous as to give a new author the price of seven yuan per thousand words.

This article "The Horse Shepherd" must have been written in accordance with the old rules of Yanjing Literature, where the author was paid five yuan per thousand words!
So since I missed the first debut article, if I want to attract more people, I have to start with the price. Seven yuan per thousand words gives them enough sincerity for ten months.

"Seven dollars for a thousand words?!" Feng Jiayou was surprised when she heard what her mother said, and she glanced at her man Cheng Xuemin without saying a word.

Her mother raised the price directly to 7 yuan per thousand words! The same price as Yenching Literature! Cheng Xuemin was also very surprised. His mother-in-law also raised the price to the maximum. Does that mean that this novella in his hand can make up for her mistakes?

"It's only 7 yuan per thousand words. You can make an appointment with her at school tomorrow..." Feng's mother thought for a moment and said unsurely, "How about this? You can invite her to dinner at my house tomorrow and I will ask her to write the manuscript in person!"

"Mom...Okay, then I'll ask Jianying tomorrow to see if she has any new manuscripts!"

Seven dollars for a thousand words!
Cheng Xuemin kept signaling to Feng Jiayou, asking her to just confess quickly so that he would be punished leniently. He would also take out the manuscript of the novella and show it to his mother-in-law to appease her.

But Feng Jiayou, this filial daughter, is still resisting and refuses to admit it.

Not only did she refuse to admit it, but she also took the responsibility of helping her mother to get articles?
What on earth does this woman want to do? What on earth does she want to play? !
Keep playing like this!

As a son-in-law caught in the middle, he will sooner or later be crushed to death by the mother and daughter!

It is really hard to imagine how horribly and fiercely his mother-in-law will explode when the truth comes out.

It is hard to say whether Feng Jiayou, the filial daughter, will die or not, but he, the son-in-law, will definitely die.

"Well, it's better to invite him to dinner at home. I will invite him to write in person so that it can show our sincerity in October!"

Seeing that her debt collector readily agreed, Feng's mother finally showed some relief and nodded.

rare!

Fortunately, a larger-scale confrontation did not break out. It is indeed rare that the story ends with such a loving mother and filial daughter.

"Wife, 7 yuan for every 1,000 words! This was a great opportunity to confess and get a lighter sentence. What on earth were you thinking?!"

After dinner, Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou both retreated into their room. Cheng Xuemin, who had been impatient for a long time, asked.

"What are you confessing?! What is there to confess? Isn't it good like this now?!"

Feng Jiayou shrugged, still very calm and full of filial piety, and said, "Xuemin, do you really want your mother-in-law to know that this article "The Shepherd" was actually written by you?"

"It's not that I want Mom to know, it's that Mom should know! We have passed the draft of our manuscript, there's no need to hide it from Mom, can you just say it openly?"

"Besides, Mom just said that the price is also the maximum of seven yuan per thousand words. It's understandable that you didn't give me the last article, but if you don't give me the next one, you're going against the will of Heaven!"

It’s not a matter of whether Cheng Xuemin wants his mother-in-law to know or not, but if he continues to keep it a secret like this, his situation as a live-in son-in-law will be too dangerous!

"What do you mean by "reverse the Tiangang"? " Feng Jiayou glanced at him, not understanding what this idiom meant.
Or is there such an idiom?

After all, she is an excellent student in the Chinese Department of Yenching University. How could the gap in her knowledge base with her man be really so huge?
"Just don't be too rebellious!" Cheng Xuemin explained as tactfully as possible. The general meaning was that you, Feng Jiayou, are too rebellious and born to be rebellious and awesome!
"Is that rebellious?! Am I not helping her to get an article commission?" Feng Jia tilted her little head, looking full of grievance!

Speaking of commissioning articles, Cheng Xuemin also nodded and asked, "Yes! And this matter, how did you commission articles for Mom? Did you really commission articles from classmate Zha Jianying!?"

"Isn't this easy?! Just give the novella in your hand to mom, and tell her that I got the manuscript for her!" Feng Jiayou was well prepared and had figured out how to deal with her mother.

"You mean to use Zha Jianying's name and let her pretend to be the author of The Wrangler, Lao Xu?!"

Cheng Xuemin had some idea of ​​what the woman wanted to do, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. The woman was getting more and more addicted to her tricks.

"That's the idea. Since the misunderstanding has already happened, let them continue to misunderstand!" The more Feng Jiayou thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was brilliant!
From now on, I don’t have to worry about the truth being exposed and her mother finding out.

"Although the idea is good, have you ever thought about how you would explain the following article by Cha Jianying?"

After saying that, Cheng Xuemin picked up the sample magazine and prepared to take out the manuscript by Cha Jianying at the back, so that the woman could take a good look at it and think carefully about how she could cover up such a big flaw.
Moreover, her mother-in-law was also blind. Cha Jianying's manuscript was just in the last few pages. If she had flipped through it more, she wouldn't have made such a big mistake. She still believed that the author of The Shepherd was her daughter's classmate Cha Jianying!
"Scared?! I'm going to die! Xuemin, I forgot about this!"

When Feng Jiayou heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded and stupid!
