She now needs money, and with money, she won't be controlled by others. Fortunately, her high school courses are still within reach.
She even has a year's time to review, so she tries her best to finish all the homework in school.
After school, she started looking for various part-time jobs, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find a job that paid well and didn't consume too much time.
As she passed by the internet cafe, a sudden inspiration struck her mind.
Right, how could she have forgotten that she was a top student in Kyoto University's Department of Literature?
It is now 2007, as far as she knows, online literature was still in its infancy before 2002.
But from 2002 to 2010, it was the era of PC Internet, in other words, at this time, online literature had already become very mature.
Although online literature was no longer popular in her time, she had some understanding of this line because she liked to read.
If serialized online, it can generate income in as little as two or three months.
With this money, she invested in something else and had the confidence to leave before entering university.
With a clear plan in mind, the first thing to do is buy a computer. Having just a computer is not enough, you also need internet access and an environment.
It's clear that living at home won't work. First of all, the origin of the computer can't be explained clearly, and there is no privacy at home either.
In summary, she needs to invest at least 5,000 yuan in advance to buy a computer and rent a house.
In order to make this sum of money, Li thought of starting to write and submit articles to various magazines, newspapers and even websites.
These drafts are mostly short, no more than 100,000 words at most, but can't hold up to many.
With her decent writing skills and the experience accumulated by later generations, she managed to scrape together the 5,000 yuan after nearly two months of struggling.
Holding the five thousand yuan, Li Xiang was so excited that he almost shed tears.
This is the first money she earned after crossing over. With this money, she can live more freely in this era.
That night when she returned home, she found many cigarette butts on the floor. The house was filled with smoke and it looked like there had been many guests over recently, just leaving in a hurry.
And in fact, it was true that her stepmother seemed to be arguing with her father about something at the bank because of this month's income not covering expenses.
Seeing her come in, her stepmother forced a smile: "Want to go back now? Have you eaten?"
Li Xiang had just finished his evening self-study and casually nodded: "I've eaten."
Then looked at his worried father and called out: "Dad." Then he planned to go back to his own room.
Unexpectedly, before they had taken two steps, her father, who had been keeping his head down all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Come here, I want to talk to you about something."
Li Xiang looked at his stepmother with a suspicious expression and said, "Uh, I'll go check if Mingming has finished his homework!"
His stepmother left, Li Xiang sat down, but Li Zhenhua just lit a cigarette and kept puffing away, showing no intention of speaking.
Li Xiang was choked by smoke all over his body, and immediately frowned and asked: "Dad, what's going on? I haven't finished my homework yet!"
Li Zhenhua's movements stiffened, and he suddenly looked up at his eldest daughter. Although she was only seventeen years old and still tender, she had inherited her mother's beautiful face.
He felt a pang of reluctance in his heart, but as soon as he thought of the debt weighing on his shoulders and his mother waiting for life-saving money, his hands clenched tightly.
When I looked up again, all the unbearable things were battered by reality, and the words that came out had no temperature.
"Think about it, if you're going to drop out after finishing high school anyway, then taking the college entrance exam doesn't make much sense either. Why not just drop out now?"
