She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 950 - 836: Super Star 10

In February this year, her website subscriptions already broke through the twenty thousand mark; March, April, and May were stable over twenty thousand, and even after deducting taxes for May, she received twenty-five thousand.

After returning home from the cemetery, Hua Yan did some accounting.

Last year, after buying a house, she took the remaining renovation funds, along with the living expenses given that year, and the fifty thousand interest on the one million, totaling 1.35 million, and deposited 1.2 million into a two-year fixed deposit.

The two-year fixed deposit of 1.2 million will earn her about fifty thousand in interest, which will mature next October, not mentioning it for now.

Left with one hundred and fifty thousand, plus the twenty-one thousand returned from English and piano fees, one thousand earned over winter break, after deducting sixteen thousand given to Zhao Yun, and half a year’s expenses, there’s still one hundred and fifty thousand remaining.

She started posting in October, began receiving manuscript fees in November, and after eight months of manuscript fees and deducting taxes, she got one hundred and twenty thousand. After subtracting half a year’s expenses, she now has about twenty-five thousand left, not quite twenty-six thousand.

Calling her a little rich lady wouldn’t be an exaggeration, but unfortunately, she still isn’t eligible to trade stocks or buy funds. Alas, it’s a real missed opportunity!

So, the twenty-five thousand just sitting there isn’t worthwhile; hence she considers using about seven thousand for living expenses, along with 2011’s thirty thousand living expenses, totaling fifty-five thousand. She contacted several banks, found an investment with a 3% return, and deposited it for one and a half years. Upon maturity, maybe this money can be used for renovations.

The one hundred and twenty five thousand maturing next October, plus the money from this year to next year, she’s planning to see if she can buy another house.

The first novel is almost finished by August, and she’s preparing the outline for the second one. Though she doesn’t know if it’ll blow up like the first, given her skills and accumulated fans, it should at least cover her living expenses, adding up her confidence from several lifetimes.

Nowadays, she is storing drafts and pre-publishing every day; since it’s already May, and by mid-June, summer vacation starts, going until late August before school resumes. During this two-month period, she plans to go continue working in Hengdian.

Regarding that, Hua Yan quickly informed Mr. Dou about her plans ahead of time.

Mr. Dou, after hearing her explanation, understood immediately that he’d be left alone for another two months. However, unlike before, this time he knows where she’s going, so he nodded, yawned, and indicated he understood.

Afterward, Hua Yan was busy with studying and attending classes, and didn’t pay much attention to this matter because since the start of this semester, whenever she’s not in class, Ning Hao would be studying and doing homework at her home until Mr. and Mrs. Ning came to pick him up after work. This led his grandparents to feel much more relaxed, often dropping by to deliver food to Hua Yan.

Of course, they’re mainly sending it for their grandson, as Ning Hao stays at her place until eight or nine in the evening!

Unfortunately, they only delivered for two weeks before Ning Hao advised them to stop.

"My Sister Yan makes delicious meals; Grandma, your cooking can’t compare to hers. Sister’s house has everything; if you want to bring food, just send some fruits and snacks, nothing else. When it comes to cooking, none of you can beat my Sister Yan. Her steamed buns, steaks, Italian pasta, curry rice, and braised pork rice are better than those at the restaurant."

Since then, Hua Yan no longer cooks for two, but three.

While Hua Yan gained a little fan, she also used the opportunity to fully integrate into the Ning Family, with Ning Hao directly calling her Sister.

During the Old Lady’s seventieth birthday, she publicly acknowledged Hua Yan as the family’s future granddaughter, and Hua Yan herself was willing.

The Ning Family’s actions were also a signal to friends and relatives, affirming Hua Yan’s status as officially recognized by them. Though her name can’t be changed, her relationship with the Ning Family will grow steadily, increasingly day by day.

From then on, Hua Yan began treating Ning Hao more like a dear younger brother, sometimes inciting Mr. Dou’s dissatisfaction.

Because he gets annoyed with the little guy, despite Ning Hao showing him extraordinary enthusiasm, he doesn’t appreciate him and thinks he’s too noisy.

During summer vacation, the Ning Family invited her and Ning Hao to visit the Northeast together, but Hua Yan told them she’s already signed up for a summer camp.

At the mention of summer camp, Zhao Yun would helplessly nod; they now understand it’s a disguised refusal.

After a year of interaction, everyone deeply realized her independence, tacitly accepting her self-reliance.
