Chapter 1223 - 458: The Stingy Dad Returns (Part 16)_3
It’s a legitimate manufacturer, and the items have undergone relevant testing, but the prices are noticeably higher.
The same agricultural and sideline products take the "high-end" route.
They’re not selling products; they’re selling services and health!
However, compared to genuine health products, these agricultural products are already considered good.
After all, health products are truly useless.
And these mushrooms and rice can still be used as normal food ingredients.
You’ve just spent a little more money, but it’s not completely wasted.
Of course, this is for ordinary seniors. For someone like her father, the Dead Old Miser, he’s only out to take advantage and would never be deceived.
See, Dad didn’t spend money to become a member, but didn’t he still get a lot of "free gifts"?
"Of course, these things are produced by a legitimate factory. I’ve even toured the workshop—it’s very clean and sanitary!"
He Tiantian said proudly.
Then, with a wave of her hand, she said boldly, "Today for lunch, let’s steam some rice and stew some mushrooms and have a good meal!"
"Alright! I’ll help you wash the vegetables and rinse the rice!"
He Yue is already capable of making her own money, and quite a lot of it.
She could afford to eat better things, but she didn’t do that and continued to go along with Dad.
Of course, she would occasionally buy some better ingredients and bring them home.
Dad is indeed miserly, but he has a principle: the things the children earn with their own ability, he generally does not confiscate.
At most, he’d grumble a bit, then the whole family would enjoy them together.
By coincidence, just as lunch was ready and the father and daughter had yet to start eating, He Zhuo, who hadn’t been home for a long time, coincidentally showed up just in time for a meal.
"Eh? You rascal finally decided to come home?"
He Tiantian saw her opportunistic son, and her good mood vanished instantly. She said with her tone dripping in sarcasm.
He Zhuo:...
As if he wanted to come back.
He, he just ran into trouble.
Just a few days ago, his system suddenly disappeared.
He Zhuo was shocked, panicked, and he frantically called out in his mind.
But no matter how much he called, the system didn’t show up again.
He Zhuo almost fainted from anxiety—
The system was his biggest support.
Without the system, let alone a successful future,
even the current problems, he couldn’t deal with them.
He had relied too much on the system in the past, and hadn’t prepared for anything else at all.
The two online novels he exchanged from the system, he never thought to keep a backup.
The sudden disappearance of the system left him unable to ensure normal updates.
After two or three days of struggling, He Zhuo finally despairingly confirmed that the system was really not coming back.
He also started thinking about how to cope with his predicament.
The first thing was updating his online novels.
He Zhuo tried writing on his own, but he couldn’t remember any of the details.
He even forgot what had happened earlier, so even if he wanted to improvise, the things he wrote were riddled with loopholes and didn’t connect the story in the slightest.
Out of options, He Zhuo had to find an excuse to "take a leave."
You can abandon an online novel, but credit card debt has to be repaid on time.
In "leave" mode, the two online novels would still have some subscribers, but the royalties obviously couldn’t match the usual ones with normal updates.
Watching the subscription numbers on the backend plummet like a cliff, glancing at the comments urging for updates, and the complaints in the book fan group from those extravagant fans...
He didn’t have to wait until the end of the month to know, his royalties shrank significantly.
Forget about earning over a hundred thousand a month, even getting ten to twenty thousand would be lucky.
That bit of money is nowhere near enough to pay off his credit card debt.
Besides, he had also taken out a loan to buy a car and rented a luxury apartment that was stylishly decorated.
Those debts need to be paid!
Even if he stopped spending money on pretty girls, buying them gifts, and eating in the cafeteria and riding the bus every month, he still had to deal with debts of thirty to forty thousand.
Of course, He Zhuo could sell the car and cancel the lease on the apartment.
But then, then he wouldn’t be able to save face.
He Zhuo struggled with pain, racked his brains, and still decided to come back to find dad.
No matter how stingy Dad is, He Zhuo is the only male in the He Family after all.
He Zhuo couldn’t believe that ’He Shoutian’ could really watch his biological son get forced into a corner by loan sharks and credit card debt!
He Tiantian:... Heh heh, I could really do it!
Even if it were the original owner, knowing that her own son got replaced with another soul, and the impostor did so many ridiculous things in her son’s body, she would certainly be both hateful and furious.
She’d rather give the house and savings all to her daughter than cheapen a time-traveling man like He Zhuo.
And He Tiantian, she’s ready to fulfill the original owner’s wishes, give the time-traveling man a hard blow, and also "clear her name" for herself...
