Chapter 224 - 224 Rebel
224 Rebel
At this time, everyone was poor. Even if they were from families with slightly better conditions, it was impossible for them to share food with others all day long. In such a situation, they either needed other people’s help or had ulterior motives. When Li Xin heard this, she asked, “Why do you share food every month?”
Under Li Xin’s sharp gaze, Yu Yan told her how she had bribed others to work for her.
Li Xin originally thought that Yu Yan genuinely wanted to come to the countryside to help. Although she couldn’t keep Yu Yan by her side, when she thought of her daughter’s dedication to helping the country, she felt quite proud. However, the actual situation was like a slap in the face to her!
Li Xin said angrily with a serious expression, “You insisted on coming to the countryside. We arranged a job for you, but you didn’t want it, so we let you come! But you couldn’t stand the suffering and even used our family’s money to bribe people to do your work. Now that I’m asking you to go back, you’re actually unwilling. Tell me, what exactly do you want?”
Seeing that the topic returned to this matter, Yu Yan could only continue to remain silent.
At most, she would secretly contact her adoptive father to get money. Her adoptive father had always been more soft-hearted towards her, but her adoptive mother was in charge of the family’s money. Her adoptive father didn’t have much money himself, so she couldn’t get much.
But it didn’t matter. In order to meet her biological parents, she could endure this!
At this moment, the door was pushed open and two girls with braids appeared at the door with a lunch box.
When Yu Yan saw Xu Ling return from work, without waiting for Li Xin to let her get up, she immediately jumped up and pretended that nothing had happened.
Li Xin didn’t say anything when she saw this. After all, Yu Yan was an adult. No matter how she lectured her daughter, she had to give her some face in front of outsiders.
Yu Hai tried to smooth things over. “Hello, young lady. We’re Yu Yan’s parents.”
No matter how hostile Xu Ling and Yu Yan were in private, Xu Ling still had to be humble and polite to her elders. Hence, she smiled and greeted, “Hello, my name is Xu Ling. I live in the same dormitory as Yu Yan.”
Li Xin hurriedly stood up and took out a bag of biscuits from Yu Yan’s cabinet. Then, she stuffed it into Xu Ling’s hand with a smile and said, “Here, eat some biscuits.”
Xu Ling thanked her politely.
With Xu Ling’s return, the conversation could only be paused.
Then, Li Xin turned around and glanced at Yu Yan as she said, “Go down and eat first.” With that, she led the way out of the room.
At this moment, Yao Nian, who had just returned to his room, was extremely excited. He had left quickly after work. After getting food, he wanted to get some jerky from Yu Yan. When he heard the conversation in the room, he pressed his ear against the door curiously to listen to what they had to say. He didn’t expect to hear such a big news.
Yao Nian only knew that Yu Yan’s parents treated her well and that her family was quite well-off, but he didn’t know the details. However, from the conversation just now, he realized that her parents were actually well-connected and could transfer her back to the city. This was enough to prove that Yu Yan’s family was definitely much better off than his own.
Yao Nian only spent half a second before deciding to kick Yu Bing out of his plan. No matter how impressive Yu Bing was, she could only stay in the village. If he married Yu Bing, even if he became the factory director, he would still be a villager!
However, if he could marry Yu Yan, since Yu Yan’s parents couldn’t bear to see her suffer and wanted to keep her by his side, as long as Yu Yan could be transferred back, as her husband, they would definitely think of a way to get a job for him.
Although Yao Nian felt a little regretful that he couldn’t return to his hometown, he didn’t have the ability to choose now. It was already good enough if he could return to the city and become a city dweller. His parents didn’t have the ability to help him!
Yao Nian started to think about how he could improve his relationship with Yu Yan. After all, if he could win a woman’s heart, he would do whatever he said next!
In the afternoon, Yu Yan went to work. The female team leader, Tian Jing, arranged an empty dormitory for Li Xin and Yu Hai to stay in. The two of them were currently worrying about Yu Yan in the dormitory.
Yu Hai recalled Yu Yan’s behavior after she left home. “I feel that this child has changed a lot after staying here for a year.”
Li Xin sighed as she said, “I feel that she has become more and more rebellious in the past few years. I think we should transfer her back, so we can keep an eye on her. If she’s here, we can’t find out in time and correct her mistakes.”
When Yu Hai thought of Yu Yan’s personality, he didn’t agree with this method. “I think it’ll be difficult. She refuses to go back no matter what. If we really cut off her allowance, things will be even more troublesome if she really does something drastic. I think we should communicate with her in a gentler manner.”
