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 .
