Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

"Where did you get the recipe?"

"I secretly watched someone else do it before, and then made some adjustments myself."

"Okay, Mom will give it a try."

"Mom, I took my brother's money, and I promised to pay him back double."

"No need to pay it back, Chengjing. When did you start hiding so much money? You didn't even use the money I gave you for the New Year. You can top up your meal card yourself next time."

Zhang Chengjing was on the verge of tears, while Yao Feiran gave him a sympathetic look.

Xu Lifang did not resign directly at first, but tried it a few times at night, and then decisively resigned to set up a stall.

The two of them would occasionally go to help.

Yao Feiran then asked Zhang Chengjing about the money he wanted to save.

This time he was wary: "What are you up to now?"

"I'll buy the magazine, and I'll pay you back double later."

"Let's see if I still believe you."

"I promise."

Not long after, Zhang Chengjing couldn't stand Yao Feiran's nagging anymore, so he took out another two hundred silver dollars and Yao Feiran bought all the magazines in the vicinity.

After observing the writing style of these magazines, I submitted my work in a broad, scattershot manner. Not long after, when I went to the internet cafe again, I found that several of them had already notified me to transfer money to their banks.

Yao Feiran asked Xu Lifang for her bank account number and only received Xiao Wan's manuscript fee.

Xu Lifang asked in shock, "Ranran, what kind of money is this?"

"This is the payment for my articles; I submitted some to children's magazines."

"Ranran, you're so smart."

"Mom, I need a cell phone so I can contact the editor more easily. Give me half the money."

"it is good."

Xu Lifang knew that Yao Feiran had always been very opinionated, and since she wasn't Yao Feiran's biological mother, she naturally wouldn't accept the money like Zhang Chengjing did. Moreover, now that Yao Feiran could earn money through submitting articles, she had even more say.

Xu Lifang took out some money and took Yao Feiran to look at the phone. Yao Feiran asked for another thousand yuan and returned four hundred to Zhang Chengjing.

Having finally received double compensation, Zhang Chengjing seemed hesitant and reluctant.

"Actually, you don't need to pay me back so much."

"You really are an honest kid."

It's the kind of honesty that's appreciated in a positive sense.

Yao Feiran didn't take it back; she forced it on him.

Before they knew it, it was Chinese New Year. During this time, Xu Lifang's snack stall had been filled with many more dishes, all made from recipes provided by Yao Feiran. In just over half a year, she had earned more than 100,000 yuan. Adding the royalties from Yao Feiran's submissions and publishing rights fees, she had nearly a million yuan.

Xu Lifang's complexion had improved significantly, and as the Chinese New Year approached, her landlord called.

"Lifang."

"Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Your lease is almost up, are you still planning to rent it?"

Having already gotten used to living here, Xu Lifang said, "Rent? What's wrong?"

"It means the price will increase by 500 yuan every month from now on. I know it's not easy for you to take care of two children on your own, but this is the price for everyone around here."

Xu Lifang's face immediately darkened; the rent had already increased before she'd even lived there for a year: "Okay, I'll think about it some more."

Yao Feiran overheard the conversation and said directly, "Mom, how about we buy a bigger house?"

"Let Mom work for a few more years."

"Don't we have enough money?"

Xu Lifang then realized: "I'm saving your money for you, I'll give it to you when you're older."

"It's okay, I can earn more money in the future. I still want my own room."

Xu Lifang was also somewhat tempted. Originally, this place was an old neighborhood. The location wasn't remote, but the environment was poor. It was also on the top floor, the fifth floor, and the rent was 1,500 yuan a month. Even if the rent increased by another 500 yuan, there was no need to rent it anymore.

Xu Lifang took Yao Feiran to look at houses everywhere. At Yao Feiran's suggestion, they bought a three-bedroom, one-living-room, fully furnished house in cash, and put it in Yao Feiran's name.

The landlord originally thought that Xu Lifang's two children were studying at nearby schools, and that she probably wouldn't want to move, but then she changed her mind and decided not to rent to her anymore.

"Lifang, how about this, I'll only raise it by two hundred?"

"No need, you can come and inspect it when it's due."

After the inspection, the landlord withheld the deposit.

When the house was first rented, it was an empty house with nothing inside. Yao Feiran hired professionals to completely remove the previous decorations.

When the landlord finally found someone to view the apartment, she saw that it was completely empty and said speechlessly, "Auntie, auntie, is this what you meant by having everything? You're so unfair!"

The person who came to view the apartment turned around and left, which made the landlord very angry. Yao Feiran even went to the trouble of telling her fortune and called her in the middle of the process, but hung up after a few seconds.

After hanging up the phone, the landlord was hit by an elderly man in his eighties riding a tricycle while crossing the intersection and ended up in the hospital. The old man had no money, was all alone, and said with a grimace that he would rather go to jail than have money.

In the end, the landlord paid tens of thousands more in medical expenses.

Meanwhile, Yao Feiran moved into her new home and finally had her own place. Xu Lifang was also a little dazed. She had been working diligently in the factory for several years and never thought that she would be able to earn so much money. She also did not expect that Yao Feiran would be so capable.

During the Chinese New Year, Yao Feiran instructed Xu Lifang: "Mom, you can't say you bought a house. The more miserable you sound, the better, otherwise someone will ask you for money."

Zhang Chengjing asked curiously, "What if others look down on us?"

"We've only been here a few days. Let them look down on us if they want. It's better than being envious."

Xu Lifang smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say goes. You're the boss at home."

Xu Lifang has three sisters. Xu's mother felt sorry for Xu Lifang and often gave her financial assistance. The other sisters didn't have any objections. However, when they saw Yao Fei, Xu's mother secretly pulled Xu Lifang into the house.

"Why are you bringing someone else's child along!"

"She has now changed her last name to mine, and she will be my child from now on."

"You're already struggling to make ends meet, you're really being foolish. You can't handle other people's kids."

"Feiran is very obedient, and I've made some money since she came. She's a lucky charm."

Xu's mother's expression softened, and she took out a bag of cash: "This is for you, don't tell your two older sisters."

Xu Lifang refused, and then took out a red envelope containing 1,000 yuan: "No need, Mom, I have money now, you take it, I'll give you money this year."

Mrs. Xu chuckled and said, "Looks like we really made a profit."
