But later, by chance, I met an author friend who was from the same area as the furnace, and he recommended that I go there.

I gave it a try, and it actually helped me earn some money and regain my confidence in writing.

To be fair, they are quite friendly to new authors, mainly because the publication period is short.

It can take up to half a month at most, or as little as a week at most.

On the other hand, it takes at least two months, and sometimes even three months, to get to the starting point.

If one book doesn't work out, starting a new one takes almost half a year, which is undoubtedly fatal for someone with limited savings.

So, as a new author, I managed to survive there.

Then I improved my hand speed, made some money, and later found a girlfriend in my hometown.

Life seems pretty good?

After entering the mask business, my income actually increased instead of decreasing, which was somewhat unexpected.

None of my family or friends have had any problems during the pandemic, and everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

But the good times didn't last long.

Two years into the pandemic, my mother fell ill and was subsequently diagnosed with a serious illness in Guangzhou.

a bolt from the blue!

It's in the late stage, there's no opportunity for surgery, only conservative treatment.

At that time, I still had some savings, which was enough to make ends meet. Plus, I had free time while writing novels, so I usually accompanied them to checkups and to get their medication.

At first, nothing was wrong, but changes in my mood and the irregular writing hours caused by caring for a patient gradually led to a decline in my novel's income.

After the mask mandate ended, income plummeted.

Then gradually, even the stove business became difficult to maintain.

There was no income for the next three or four months.

Back to square one, I started writing a tutorial and earned over ten thousand yuan in six months, which eased my financial pressure a little.

But bad news kept coming. My mother took targeted therapy, but the effect quickly became less effective, and she needed to have another check-up and change medication.

Earning little money but spending it like water, they quickly fell into debt.

After a year of conservative treatment, the condition worsened and became serious.

It's been another hospital visit. My siblings are busy with work and can't leave, and I'm writing novels, so most of the time I'm the one taking care of them.

Only those who have experienced it can truly understand the hardships and exhaustion of this kind of caregiving.

I will never forget that day at four in the morning, when my mother and I sat awkwardly on the steps of the hospital.

She was delirious, and I was completely at a loss.

During this time, I also wanted to write in the hospital, because you really can't do without money.

But it's simply impossible. If you force yourself to write, what you produce is just a pile of garbage, and nobody will buy it. This is also why the later books that Qidian abandoned were abandoned. Back then, you couldn't make money, so you weren't even qualified to write for love.

With money becoming increasingly insufficient, he eventually bought out Qidian's portal and took 5,000 yuan.

But my girlfriend wasn't having an easy time either while my mother was seriously ill.

The family business failed, and the mother suffered a brain hemorrhage and heart disease, requiring repeated hospitalizations.

As a boyfriend, you need to comfort your partner and also provide some financial support.

And so, they went from being in debt to being heavily indebted.

If that's all there is to it, then forget it.

But before we could even catch our breath, my dad also fell ill and was hospitalized.

It started with lower back pain and weakness in the lower limbs. After a month of ineffective treatment, I went to a large hospital in Guangzhou for examination.

My mom has temporarily found a caregiver at the hospital, and then I'll take my dad there.

But a couple of days ago, when I was taking care of my mom, I accidentally twisted my ankle and got a cramp.

I should have been fine after a few days of rest, but I didn't have any time to rest at all.

I took my dad on the high-speed train to Guangzhou without stopping. At that time, my dad could barely stand.

When I got to Guangzhou South Railway Station, my sprain got worse and I was almost limping, so I went to find a wheelchair.

I felt like crying as I pushed the wheelchair while limping.

Inside the South Station, taking my dad to catch a train, borrowing and returning a wheelchair took me more than an hour.

When we got to the hotel by taxi, we were practically kneeling as we went up the stairs.

Later, I got help from my cousin who was working in Guangzhou, and we were able to get my dad to get the checkup done.

I iced my foot and rested for two days, and it finally got better.

But then more bad news came.

My dad is also seriously ill!

It's in the late stage again, and it might even be more serious.

The doctor said that without treatment, there is only one month left, and surgery is also very risky; there is a possibility that the patient may not be able to get off the operating table.

Helpless, after discussing it, they could only return to their hometown and adopt the same conservative treatment.

After returning, my finances were on the verge of collapse. I remembered that I could apply for a serious illness subsidy for authors on Qidian.com, and my family members seemed to be eligible as well, so I tried contacting the editor at Haoyun.

Later I realized that I was too useless and hadn't written any long novels that could be published, so I didn't meet the application requirements.

However, the editor was very kind and said that if the situation was special, they could help with the application.

But at that time, at the end of last year, my mother became seriously ill and passed away.

The application seemed pointless, so I stopped paying attention to it.

After the funeral, I stayed by my father's side day and night.

Meanwhile, my girlfriend also brought good news: her mother had survived a brain hemorrhage, but she would have to live a semi-independent life and frequently have to go to the hospital.

My dad's condition has improved somewhat, and he got the targeted therapy from the hospital, but his condition is still fluctuating, and he has to go to the hospital twice a month.

But the situation is still terrible, like a person soaking in seawater who will drown sooner or later.

Suddenly, I discovered that not only my parents were seriously ill.

My work and my life seem to be seriously ill.

If they hadn't gotten into trouble, they would probably have been busy preparing for my wedding for the past two or three years.

Maybe I'll have a lovely son or daughter.

Ugh……

Having experienced so much, all I feel is感慨 (a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

As Fang Yuan, a character in Gu Zhenren's novel, once said, "Don't let your dreams wither with age."

But I don't think I can really do it.

The real purpose of starting this book now is just to get perfect attendance.

I'm perfectly content with just an extra thousand yuan a month, really.

Now that I'm working as a caregiver, I can't do any other jobs.

So there's no need to worry about it being abandoned or anything like that; it will definitely be completed normally.

I'm not saying all that to play the victim; I just wanted to vent.

And Zoro is right.

Disasters always come one after another. If you complain, will anyone come to save you?

I don't have Zoro's strength to face difficulties head-on and overcome obstacles; I can only grit my teeth and persevere.

This is also the perseverance of an ordinary person.

Finally, let's get back to the product launch.

It will be available after midnight tonight.

Even after it's published, I'll still update three times a day.

I had some drafts saved up beforehand, and I was actually planning to release it as a 20-chapter novel.

But my dad was recently hospitalized again, and I have to go and take care of him, so I can only update as much as I can.

But I'll remember this and add it later.

Chapter 123 Rachel the Goddess? Enel is a lucky star!?

The next morning, Yang Hao woke up to a soft, fragrant bath.

"You're awake? Let me help you get dressed."

A snow-white figure was sleeping beside Yang Hao. Upon seeing Yang Hao wake up, she immediately got up gently and began to serve him.

Looking at the beautiful long-haired woman in front of him, Yang Hao smiled.

This stunning beauty is none other than Lachi from the Shandiya tribe.

Last night, Laki dressed up carefully and took the initiative to deliver food to our door.

Yang Hao was not surprised by this scene.

After all, once he figured out the 3.0 version of the simulation system, he continued to simulate it.

Therefore, Laki's appearance was within his expectations.

Originally, Yang Hao planned to ignore it, since he was busy with the simulation.

Moreover, Yang Hao has never been a person who likes this kind of thing, and his relationship with Baby-5 and Violet was just for a reason.

But after thinking about it, Yang Hao still took Laqi in.

The reason is also very simple.
