"Li Bin, how can you talk to us like that? We're doing it for your own good! You're like a dog that bites, you don't appreciate goodwill! It's really frustrating!" Shen Yun glared angrily at Li Bin while scolding him.
"Oh? For my own good? Well, then I've misunderstood. If that's the case, Aunt, how much do they pay for a packing job per month? If it's more than what I earn writing, I'm willing to go work at your factory." Li Bin, unfazed, smiled and asked Shen Yun.
"The average salary at the factory is about four thousand, so if you come, as an apprentice we'd pay you 1,800, and once you become a regular worker, we'd give you four thousand." Shen Yun replied with a condescending tone.
As for how long the apprenticeship period would last, Shen Yun didn't even mention it.
Considering how stingy Shen Yun is, Li Bin figured the apprenticeship period would hardly be less than half a year.
"So little? Oh, then it won't do. Even though writing doesn't make me a lot, I get about ten thousand a month. I thought Aunt would offer me a salary of two hundred thousand a month." Li Bin shook his head with apparent disappointment, speaking seriously.
"Ten thousand? Ha! Brother-in-law, you used to be incapable, now you're lying shamelessly! How can you tell such a lie so easily? Do you think we don't know what you're like? Ten thousand! You're dreaming!" Du Bin laughed in disbelief seeing Li Bin dare to tell such an easily debunked lie, wondering if Li Bin had gone mad from poverty.
"Li Bin, not having skills is one thing, I used to see you as an honest person, but lying like this isn't right. We're family, you might fool strangers, but us? We know exactly where you stand. Your character's in question now too." Shen Yun continued with a superior tone, as if she were educating Li Bin.
"We originally wanted to help you, teach you some trade so you'd have a chance in the future, but now, you're truly a lost cause." Du Jianguo grunted with authority, looking at him with disdain.
Li Bin watched the three of them showing off in front of him, patiently waited for them to finish, then took out his phone, opened the Alipay app, and said, "This year, I haven't really earned much, just a few million." With that, he placed the phone on the table.
Du Bin looked suspiciously, and upon seeing the long string of digits in Li Bin's Alipay account, his eyes widened: "Eighty… eighty-something thousand!"
"What!"
Hearing Du Bin mention eighty thousand, Du Jianguo and Shen Yun leaned over to look at the phone, incredulous.
"It's really eighty thousand! We work all year to earn just forty or fifty thousand!"
"How can it be so much? Is writing online novels that lucrative?"
Seeing the money on Li Bin's phone, their attitude completely changed.
"This isn't a screenshot from someone else, right?" Du Bin grabbed the phone, closed and reopened the Alipay application several times to confirm, and was left stunned, speechless on the sofa.
"Hahaha…" Wen Lan, who had anticipated this scene, couldn't help but laugh seeing the three from her little aunt's family humiliated.
It was rare for the Wen family to have a moment of glory over the Du family, and Wen Lan discreetly gave Li Bin a thumbs-up, winking at him in recognition.
Wen Wan looked at Li Bin in disbelief, took the phone to check the Alipay balance, her eyes full of questions and distrust.
"Uncle, Aunt, I read online novels too, a lot of people do now. I also wrote some stuff in my spare time in college, but my level's not great, I only made a few thousand. I didn't know my brother-in-law was so good. With that income, he must be a star in the online writing world." Yu Yinyan looked at Li Bin with admiration and said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, could you teach me? My dream's always been to be a writer."
"Li Bin, what books do you write? You earn that much? Why didn't you say so before? We thought you weren't making anything and wanted to help you… hehe… Why don't you teach our Bin Bin, so he can write with you?" Shen Yun, seeing the money opportunity, quickly shifted her attitude, trying to cozy up to Li Bin.
"Writing takes talent, it's not something anyone can just do because they want to. Bin Bin only went to a technical school, his education level isn't enough to write books…"
At that moment, Shen Han, who had been listening from the kitchen, came out proudly carrying a tray of food, and with a sarcastic, cheerful tone added, "I always said our Li Bin had potential, that he'd be something in the future, and now, our family has a writer. Who knows, in no time he could be a great author, a famous figure. This little bit of money is nothing."
Shen Han truly felt proud today, her heart sweeter and more at ease than if she'd eaten honey.
