Chapter 109 Seeking Another Way Out
Luo Qiao finished tidying up before she began her daily studies, and upon seeing the newspapers and magazines, an idea suddenly struck her. Right, why hadn’t she thought of that before? These too could be a path for her.
After all, she had a background in fine arts, she could illustrate for magazines, or even try writing something to be published. That way, she would have a source of income, and in the future, supporting Stone would have a justifiable reason.
Ah, that was a good idea, but she didn’t know if her drawings would catch the editors’ eyes, but how would she know without trying?
She immediately took the writing paper sent by Grandpa Yuan and began by replying to letters from the Yuan and Yang families, telling them that everything was fine with her and that she would be starting high school in the second half of the year, so they needn’t worry.
After finishing the letters and putting them aside, she thought about what to include with them when she mailed them. If not, she could send some of the mushrooms and dried vegetables she air-dried days ago; rehydrated, they made dishes taste exceptional, and they would surely love it once they tasted it.
Though the items were not valuable, they still represented some of her thoughts and care. With that settled, she finally began to ponder what to draw and send out.
After much contemplation, she thought it best to test the waters with some fables paired with illustrations—at worst, it would not be a waste of time and effort even if unsuccessful.
She only had regular pencils, no colored ones, but that would suffice. In one night, she penned two fables, neither too long, with simple illustrations that she crafted with extra care.
Once completed, she put them away, planning to find time to send them off to the commune, and also thought about making a trip to the city if she had time, to invest in professional drawing supplies—if she wanted to earn a living from this, she had to be willing to invest.
The next morning, Luo Qiao packed the items she was going to send to the Yuan and Yang families, planning to make a run to the commune by noon, the sooner they were sent, the sooner she would get results.
