Sitting under the pagoda tree, this group of people were all eating and chatting. They did not react immediately when they heard the postman shouting the name.
Rong Yan? Who’s that?
Just then, someone remembered who the name belonged to.
"Isn’t Rong Yan Qin Ye’s wife? Does she have a letter?"
By this shout, the others also remembered. There’s only one with the surname Rong, right? No, wait, now there are two, a father and daughter.
When the postman heard someone recognized the name, he said, "Here is a registered letter for her from a Jing City newspaper and a publishing house, as well as her remittance slip for the writing income. She needs to come in person. Does anyone know her and can call her over? Or take me to her house, that’s okay too."
The villagers were shocked by what he said.
Someone didn’t understand and asked, "Comrade, what’s ’writing income’? What does that mean?"
"It means her submission was liked by the newspaper office and they published it for people to read... and they paid her ’writing income.’ That’s quite impressive," the postman said with a tone of envy. Those are cultured people indeed!
The villagers widened their eyes in shock.
Qin Ye’s Wife could earn money by writing articles?
"Goodness! How is she so skilled?" Qin Ye really married well.
Some people felt overwhelmingly jealous in their hearts.
It was right then someone shouted, "Hey, isn’t that Qin Ye’s father-in-law walking over there? The letter can be given to him."
Another villager called out, "Old Rong, here’s a letter for your daughter, hurry over and get it."
Rong Wenming heard someone calling him and came over, "What is it?"
He was distracted by his thoughts and hadn’t quite caught on.
"Rong Yan is your daughter, right? Here, she has two registered letters, one from a Jing City newspaper and one from a Jing City publishing house. Additionally, here are two remittance slips that require her signature."
Upon hearing this, Rong Wenming was slightly stunned, only snapping back to reality when someone tugged at him.
He nodded eagerly, admitting, "Yes, I’m Rong Yan’s dad, she’s my daughter."
"Well then, you take your daughter’s letters and remittance slips," said the postman. Although he had intended to deliver them to the person herself, it didn’t matter since this was her father, and besides, there were so many witnesses here.
It’s also possible he was still new to the job.
Otherwise, an experienced postman would definitely deliver them directly to the recipient.
"Alright, give them to me," Rong Wenming said excitedly.
His daughter was truly remarkable to have her articles published in the newspaper.
"Sign here," the postman said, proceeding with the required steps and handing over a pen along with the slips.
Rong Wenming quickly signed his name and handed back the pen and signed slips.
"Thank you!"
"Your daughter is really talented," the postman complimented before passing over the two registered letters and two remittance slips.
Rong Wenming took them and glanced at the remittance slip, pausing in mild astonishment before promptly putting it into his pocket.
He needed to share this good news with his daughter.
The postman finished his delivery and naturally, he left.
After he departed, the villagers became excited.
"Hey, we didn’t ask Comrade Rong how much the newspaper remitted to Mr. Qin Ye!" They hid it too quickly, nobody saw.
One person said loudly, "I saw it, it looked like one was for fifty yuan! But I didn’t see the other one..." his voice trailed off with a hint of regret.
Hearing that one slip was for fifty yuan, the villagers inhaled sharply... my lord, what did she write to earn such a sum?
Could the other remittance slip also be for fifty yuan?
Wouldn’t that be like the earnings of a city factory worker over three or four months?
They would have to work for the better part of a year.
Suddenly, there was intense discussion and the new topic spread throughout the entire village. Before long, the whole Qin Family Village knew that Qin Ye’s Wife had written something for some newspaper, and they paid her quite a lot of money.

Rong Yan stood in the yard and saw her father, who had just gone out for a stroll, returning so quickly with a smile on his face and two registered letters in hand.
"Dad, who sent you a letter? It made you so happy."
Her comment drew the attention of Madam Rong, who was sweeping the courtyard.
"Eh, Old Rong, you’ve actually got a letter? Who’s it from? Why did it come here?"
"Why use the word ’actually’? It’s as if I don’t have any friends," Rong Wenming replied with a laugh. "However, these two registered letters are indeed not mine; they’re from a newspaper and publishing house sent to our Yanyan. Plus, there are remittance slips."
Upon hearing this, Madam Rong’s face showed shock, "You mean the newspaper sent a remittance slip to our daughter? How much?"
Rong Wenming immediately handed over the items, "Take a look, you’re going to be really surprised."
Madam Rong passed the registered letters on to her daughter.
Then she checked the remittance slip and, upon seeing the amount, her eyes were filled with delight, "So much? There’s actually fifty yuan!"
Rong Wenming watched his wife’s elated reaction and said with a smile, "Look at the other one."
Madam Rong, hearing this, opened the other remittance slip.
Her eyes widened unbelievably when she saw the amount, "This, this is so much? My goodness! Could there be a mistake?"
