The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Just by shaking the Pen, without going down to the fields to work or venturing into the woods, you can earn so much money.

No wind, no rain, and no danger, tsk tsk, who says studying is useless?

Those who have read books, they’re different!

Making money is easier and more leisurely than for us farmers who dig food from the dirt.

Some parents who think studying is useless and don’t let their kids go to school really regret it after hearing about ”Heh Yuntian’s” achievements.

And some villagers, quick-witted and with a thick skin, directly went to the Educated Youth Corps.

”Educated Youth Heh, I heard you wrote a new article? Oh, my second son loves reading stories the most, can you let him see the book?”

This villager who took the initiative to speak was quite tactful, not demanding right away.

She nudged the ten-year-old boy in front of her, and the child was wearing clothes patched upon patches, with dirt on them, a sun-baked dark face with black and yellow streaks, and two trails of yellow snot hanging down.

He Tiantian:... Uh, can’t help it, kids in rural areas in that era just looked like this.

In some even more slovenly families, the kids had lice on their heads.

When bored, a few bratty kids would sit under the sun, helping each other squeeze and play.

If you’re too fastidious, you simply can’t live in the countryside of this era.

Actually, it wasn’t just the bratty kids; even some of the Educated Youth who had been in the countryside for a long time started to assimilate.

Couldn’t wash their feet and bodies every day, sleep with snores, grind teeth, fart in public... It’s not about not wanting to be particular, but being too tired and hungry to have the energy or means to be particular.

Otherwise, the ancients wouldn’t have said, ”When the granaries are full, people know etiquette”;

And modern great men wouldn’t have said, ”Material civilization is the foundation of spiritual civilization.”

At the end of the day, it’s a matter of money!

Now, this rural aunt brought her mischievous little Monkey before He Tiantian, all for money.

”Educated Youth Heh, I’m telling you, my second son is really smart, especially perceptive, just lacks a good teacher. If someone teaches him, he can definitely write articles like you—” make a lot of money!

The last three words, the rural aunt swallowed.

Well, better not mention money at every turn!

In this era, poverty is still considered most honorable.

But in everyday life, during events like marriage or building a house, ”honor” doesn’t quite cut it.

It’s the paper bills that are most practical.

”...” He Tiantian listened to the rural aunt’s rambling, then asked softly after a moment of silence: ”You want your child to follow me to learn how to write articles?”

”Yes! Yes yes yes!”

The rural aunt suppressed her anxiety, forced a smile, and cautiously said, ”Educated Youth Heh, rest assured, my second son is very obedient, whatever you ask him to do, he’ll do!”

As she spoke the last part, the rural aunt even winked at He Tiantian.

He Tiantian instantly understood, this was her meaning: Educated Youth Heh, you teach my son the writing skills, and my son will work for you.

He Tiantian:...

If it were herself, she certainly wouldn’t need someone to work for her.

But the original person, this one, would take advantage of even a woman’s favor.

He’s not exactly Top-grade, just too arrogant, considering himself a male god.

Believing that with his ”divine status,” others giving him things or helping him work is only right and proper.

For those people, being able to ”help” him isn’t a favor, but a kind of gift.

Ahem, male leads and such, having a bit of that ”Long Aotian” mystique confidence is normal, right!

He Tiantian wanted to maintain the original character’s persona; even if she didn’t agree with this overbearing style, she had to grit her teeth and pretend.

Looking reservedly at the eager and anxious mother and son pair, He Tiantian arrogantly nodded, ”Alright! I can guide the child a bit!”

”...Thank you, Educated Youth Heh, oh dear, thank you so much!”

Couldn’t be happier, the rural aunt kept thanking him, not forgetting to press her son’s head to bow to He Tiantian.

She didn’t understand what ”guidance” meant, but since Educated Youth Heh said ”alright,” it meant agreeing to teach her son to write articles.

This is a craft for making big money, even in this era, if you want to be someone’s apprentice to learn their skills, you have to do so properly and respectfully.

Perhaps not as in the past where you treat the ”master” as a true elder, but enough respect must still be shown.

Otherwise, why would they teach you the money-making skills?

”Oh my, that Liu Laosi’s family is too cunning, actually sent their second child to the Educated Youth Corps!”

”Their second child can write articles? Humph, can’t even recognize all the words. My Gou Zhuzhu is much better than him!”

”My third child isn’t bad either! If Second can go, my third can also go learn skills from Educated Youth Heh!”
