The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After Wang Gang decided to achieve financial freedom by writing books, he immediately set his sights on a novel from his previous life, "Things about the Ming Dynasty".

The author of that book was originally a minor civil servant. Because of his love for history, he wrote an "interesting history book" that mixed history and fiction. It became an instant hit, earning tens of millions in royalties every year. It even greatly helped his career, and he has been on the rise ever since.

Wang Gang checked online and found out that there is no "Things about the Ming Dynasty" in this world. No one has even thought of writing history as a comedy. Naturally, Wang Gang would not miss such an opportunity.

Wang Gang did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately opened the document and started to "write" the book.

Xie Meilan soon heard the sound of typing coming from outside the house.

She looked outside and found Wang Gang sitting at the dining table, typing on his laptop very seriously.

The sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard formed beautiful music, but it made Xie Meilan a little upset.

The house they rented was not big to begin with, and it was old and the walls were not soundproofed. The sound of Wang Gang typing quickly sounded more like a child playing with a keyboard.

"Can you please keep your voice down? You're disturbing me while I'm working." Xie Meilan shouted at Wang Gang.

Wang Gang paused and said, "I'm writing a novel. If you find it noisy, just close the door."

"Write a novel?" Xie Meilan asked in surprise: "Why did you think of writing a novel?"

Wang Gang explained: "I am writing a novel about the history of the Ming Dynasty. As you know, my work is not busy and I have a lot of free time. I thought about doing a side job to increase my income. Writing novels is one of the side jobs allowed for civil servants. If my novel becomes a hit, it can also solve the financial difficulties of my family."

Xie Meilan frowned and said, "With your writing skills, you still want to make money by writing novels?"

Wang Gang said confidently: "Maybe I can give you a surprise."

Xie Meilan snorted disdainfully and closed the door directly, refusing to listen.

Wang Gang glanced at the bedroom and felt a little helpless about his wife.

Xie Meilan was Shen Lei's wife, and now she is Wang Gang's wife, and it is also his responsibility.

But Wang Gang hasn't figured out how to get along with Xie Meilan. Now one is busy writing novels and the other is busy working, so it's good for them to have nothing to do with each other.

Because he was copying a book, Wang Gang typed 10,000 words in two hours, which was extremely efficient. He planned to write 50,000 words first and then upload it to an authoritative website to test the effect.

Wang Gang has been a writer, so his writing style is naturally no problem. With the reference of his past life memories, the "Things about the Ming Dynasty" he wrote is different from the original work. It is more humorous and the writing style is more sophisticated. I believe the click rate should not be too bad.

At two o'clock in the morning, Wang Gang saved the document, turned off the computer, and prepared to rest, then he found that Xie Meilan was still busy.

"Haven't you finished your work yet?" Wang Gang asked with concern.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first." Xie Meilan said perfunctorily.

"Work is important but you must also take care of your health. If you get sick again, who will take care of your mother?" Wang Gang advised.

Xie Meilan said impatiently: "Don't worry, I won't drag you down, I'm in good health."

Wang Gang's face darkened. He felt that Xie Meilan couldn't tell good from bad. He really didn't know why Shen Lei fell in love with her in the first place.

Without paying any more attention to Xie Meilan, Wang Gang went straight to bed and soon fell asleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Wang Gang woke up on time because of his biological clock and found that Xie Meilan was still sleeping next to him. Her laptop was placed on the bedside and was not turned off. It seemed that she had been busy all night.

Wang Gang got out of bed quietly, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then started preparing breakfast.

At half past seven, Xie Meilan was awakened by the alarm on her mobile phone. She hurriedly got up, washed, and got angry at Wang Gang.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Wang Gang said calmly: "Don't worry, there is still plenty of time. I have prepared breakfast."

Xie Meilan didn't have time to argue with Wang Gang, so she quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Wang Gang put breakfast on the dining table and went to the bedroom to change out of his pajamas.

Xie Meilan washed up in a hurry and prepared to go out with her bag. Wang Gang stuffed breakfast into her hands.

"I'm running out of time. I'm skipping breakfast."

"Take it to the office to eat." Wang Gang picked up the battery car key and said, "I'll take you to the subway station."

Because the rent is cheap, Shen Lei rented a house in a very remote area. Xie Meilan works in the CBD and it takes an hour to get there by subway. Usually, Shen Lei would send his wife to the subway station first, and then he would ride his electric scooter to work.

It was already autumn in the capital, and the temperature dropped in the morning and evening. It was a bit cold to ride an electric scooter. Xie Meilan huddled up in a ball and hid behind Wang Gang.

"When we get a number in the lottery, we'll buy a car for transportation." Wang Gang said when he saw Xie Meilan shivering from the cold.

"Let's talk about it later! I don't know how much my mother's medical expenses will cost." Xie Meilan said, covering her cheek.

"I told you, don't worry about the money. I will find a way to solve it." Wang Gang said while riding his bike.

"How much money can you make by writing novels?" Xie Meilan said disdainfully.

"You don't trust your husband at all?" Wang Gang laughed.

Xie Meilan didn't say anything, but her meaning was very clear. She didn't believe that Wang Gang could make money by writing novels.

"Are you going to the hospital after get off work today? Mom mentioned you again yesterday. She wants to see you."

"Let's talk about it later! I took too much leave to take my mother for a checkup some time ago, and I have already delayed my work." Xie Meilan sighed:
"I'm under a lot of pressure at work, and if I don't perform well, I'm at risk of being fired."

Wang Gang really wanted Xie Meilan to resign, but he also knew that if he made such a request now, the couple would just end up arguing.

"You should take time to spend more time with your mother. She's too lonely in the hospital alone." Wang Gang sighed.

"Didn't we hire a nurse? If she feels bored, she can chat with the nurse." Xie Meilan said indifferently.

The electric bike stopped at the subway entrance. Xie Meilan jumped off the bike in a hurry. Wang Gang held her back and said, "Your mother still wants her daughter to be with her."

"I understand." Xie Meilan shook off Wang Gang's hand irritably and said, "I'll see to it."

Wang Gang said seriously: "Your mother doesn't have much time, you should cherish the days you can spend with her."

"Shen Lei, what do you mean, are you cursing my mother?" Xie Meilan stared angrily.

"I am stating the facts, and you have to learn to accept reality." Wang Gang said earnestly: "Your mother needs the company of her family more now."

"Don't worry about my business." Xie Meilan said stubbornly: "Medical science is so advanced nowadays, my mother's disease cannot be cured."

After saying that, Xie Meilan turned and walked into the subway station.

Wang Gang sighed, knowing that Xie Meilan had not yet accepted the reality and was taking his kindness for granted.

"Why did Shen Lei fall for Xie Meilan in the first place?"

Wang Gang shook his head, turned the handlebars, and rode his electric bike to the Capital Archives Bureau.

Thirty minutes later, Wang Gang arrived at the office and saw that it was a few minutes before 8:30.

The work in the Archives Bureau is very leisurely. It is mainly responsible for organizing and archiving archives within its jurisdiction, guiding ratings, etc. The work pressure is low and the intensity is low. Most of the day is idle, but it is also a well-known office with little work.

Wang Gang took advantage of his free time to review the novel he wrote yesterday, and bought two silent keyboards online to use for typing at work in the future.

In the afternoon, Wang Gang said hello to his leader, then left work early and ran to the hospital.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he found that Xie's mother had privately completed the discharge procedures.

"Shen Lei, I don't want to be treated anymore. Let's go home!" Xie's mother said weakly to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang's heart trembled, realizing that his mother-in-law was ready to die. (End of this chapter)
