Chapter 54 – Fourth Review Product! (1)
“Mom, are you still going to work part-time today?”
The entire Chen family was currently having breakfast at the dining table. While eating, Chen Yu had racked his brain for a “cool” way to bring up the topic of his new income.
“That’s right. What about it?” Mother Chen mumbled while chewing on a steamed bun.
“How much do you earn a day?”
“A hundred. I get 40 for the morning shift and 60 for the afternoon shift.”
“Oh~” Nodding his head in an exaggerated manner, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and transferred 1,000 yuan to Mother Chen through WeChat. “I’ll give you ten times the amount, so don’t go to work today.”
Suddenly, silence fell over the dining table.
Now, even the sound of chewing vanished.
Aside from the drowsing Chen Sanke, everyone else stared at the phone Chen Yu held up in shock.
“Dad, how much do you earn a day on average?”
“Th-Three hundred…”
Upon hearing that, Chen Yu tapped on his phone and transferred 3,000 yuan to Father Chen. “I’ll give you ten times the amount as well, so take the day off and head out to relax with my mother.”
“You… You…” Standing up abruptly, Mother Chen snatched Chen Yu’s phone and demanded, “Where did you get so much money?!”
At Mother Chen’s shout, Chen Sanke promptly woke up from her doze. Thinking that she was going to get scolded for nodding off during a meal, she hurriedly grabbed one steamed bun after another and crammed them into her mouth.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu leaned against his chair and tried to cross his legs coolly. However, he quickly discovered that there was no room for him to do so, so he had no choice but to abandon that thought. He then replied, “It’s not that much money, really. I earned it all from editing videos. I didn’t lie to you, right?”
After a moment of silence, Father Chen asked, “How much did you earn?”
“Five thousand five hundred,” Chen Yu said, reporting less than half his actual income.
After tapping into Chen Yu’s WeChat Wallet, Mother Chen discovered that it still had 1,500 yuan. Including the 4,000 yuan he just sent to them, there had indeed been a total of 5,500 yuan!
“This… This…” Mother Chen’s hands started trembling slightly. She then turned to look at Father Chen, unsure of what to do in this situation. “Just what are you doing? How can you earn so much money?”
“Like I said, editing videos. Take the videos you see on the internet and the documentary shows on television, for example. They only look as good as they do because they’ve gone through editing. You can think of me as one of the people doing this editing.”
“If it’s so easy to make money through editing, why aren’t other people doing it?” Father Chen asked, his face filled with doubt.
“Of course, it’s because I am talented.” With an upright face, Chen Yu started spouting a bunch of nonsense. “The videos other people edit turn out plain and boring, while the videos I edit can get the audience to say things like: Crap! Amazing! Exciting! That’s the difference between us.”
Everyone: “…”
“You guys won’t get it even if I explain it to you. In any case, I declare that, from today onward, our family is no longer in need of money. Mom, you don’t need to do part-time anymore. Dad, if that department head of yours gives you trouble again, just beat him up and resign! Nobody can look down on us now!”
Everyone: “…”
“Phew…” After Chen Yu finished acting cool, he breathed out a light sigh, a warm and comfortable feeling spreading throughout his body. “Everyone, continue eating. Don’t be so restrained.”
“You…” Frowning and scratching her head, Mother Chen asked, “Chen Yu, this thing you’re doing, it’s not illegal, right?”
“I’m using my technical skills to earn money. Illegal? I just entered the industry. Do you know how much money the truly famous editors are making?”
Turning to look at each other, Mother Chen and Father Chen were at a loss for words.
Compared to the “empty words” Chen Yu had said to them two days ago, the genuine 5,500 yuan they were seeing now undoubtedly came as a much greater shock—such a shock that they could not help doubting the reality of this situation.
After some time, Mother Chen dazedly pinched Chen Yu’s nose and dragged it left and right.
“Ah?! It hurts! What are you doing!?”
“Are you Chen Yu?”
Chen Yu: “…”
Mother Chen wondered if her son had been replaced. After all, not only did he possess talent in sports and studying, but he even had the ability to earn a lot of money now.
“Regardless of what you think of it, that’s the situation now. There’s no helping that your son is so amazing now. You two old folk can retire and rest. From now on, I’ll handle all of our family’s finances. In exchange, however, I feel that my status in the family should be raised correspondingly.”
After saying so, Chen Yu felt as if his entire body had gotten lighter.
Meanwhile, after Mother Chen snapped out of her daze, she snatched Chen Yu’s phone again and transferred his remaining 1,500 yuan to her own WeChat Wallet.
“This is too much money for you to handle. I’ll hold onto it for you for now. You’re still a student. You shouldn’t learn how to spend money lavishly.”
“Right!” Father Chen nodded his head strongly in agreement. He then snatched Mother Chen’s phone and transferred the 2,500 yuan in her WeChat Wallet to his own bank account. “Chen Yu, you still don’t know whether this job is stable in the long term or not. Don’t casually spend this money. Leave it with me for safekeeping.”
Mother Chen: “…”
Turning to look back at Chen Yu, Mother Chen quickly noticed the smug expression on his face. Extending her hand toward him without hesitation, she said, “You still have money! You definitely earned more than 5,500!”
“I don’t have any.”
“You think I don’t understand you? You definitely have more!”
“I don’t.”
“You do!”
“I don’t.”
“Foolish son, quickly give it to your mother! Do you think I will rip you off?”
“I don’t have any money left.”
…
Thirty minutes later, Chen Yu escorted his three little sisters to school.
First, he dropped off Chen Sanke at her kindergarten. He then passed Chen Sanke her bag and said, “Third Eldest, I left a present inside your bag.”
“A present?” Chen Sanke was momentarily stunned by Chen Yu’s words. Immediately afterward, she happily opened up her school bag and pulled out a gold-plated feeding bottle from it. “Wah! So pretty!”
“Do you like it?”
“I like it!”
“Is Big Brother the best?”
“The best!” Chen Sanke answered as she hugged Chen Yu’s left leg and rubbed her face against it.
“Alright, go to school and have fun.”
“Mhm!” Chen Sanke nodded. After placing her new feeding bottle into her bag, she toddled her way into the kindergarten.
Turning around, Chen Yu discovered that both Chen Yike and Chen Erke were looking at him with sparkles in their eyes. However, instead of saying something, he simply chuckled as he led the two of them away from the kindergarten.
Five minutes later, the group arrived at Chen Erke’s school.
Passing the bag in his right hand to Chen Erke, Chen Yu said, “Second Eldest, there’s a present inside your bag as well.”
“Thank you, Big Brother! Hahahaha!”
Chen Erke raised her hands and jumped for joy as she let out melodious laughter.
“Open it and take a look.”
“Mhm!” Her body swaying happily, Chen Erke excitedly opened her bag and pulled out a pack of exquisite crayons. She could tell that the crayons were worth a lot of money with just one look.
“Big Brother…” Chen Erke’s smile suddenly disappeared as her eyes started reddening. She then hugged Chen Yu’s waist and said, “Thank you.”
“No need for thanks. Use these crayons for your drawings in the future.”
“Mhm!”
After seeing off Chen Erke, Chen Yu turned toward Chen Yike.
“Brother.”
“Be good.”
Under Chen Yike’s expectant gaze, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Chen Yike’s middle school.
“Eldest, your bag has a present inside too. I spent half a day looking for it. I think it suits you very much.”
“Thank you, Big Brother! Big Brother is the best!”
“Will you listen to Big Brother’s words in the future?”
“I will!”
“Is Big Brother handsome?”
“Handsome!”
“Come, give me a kiss,” Chen Yu said as he turned his face and pointed at his cheek.
Chen Yike instantly blushed at Chen Yu’s words. After turning to check her surroundings and making sure that nobody was nearby, she quickly leaned forward and pecked Chen Yu’s cheek.
“Hehe.” Chen Yu was delighted at this result. He then took down the bag hanging on his chest and passed it to Chen Yike, saying, “Take it.”
After receiving her school bag, Chen Yike immediately tried to pull open the zipper. However, Chen Yu stopped her before she could do so.
“Eldest, look at it once you’re in class. I’m leaving first.”
“Alright! Goodbye, Big Brother! I love you!”
“Bye.”
Waving his hand, Chen Yu turned around and ran away.
