265 Compromise

When Yu Bing saw Jiang Chun’s serious expression, she smiled and said, “I was joking, but aren’t you two confirming your relationship too soon?”

Jiang Chun thought for a moment before saying seriously, “I already had a good impression of him before. This time, when he suddenly appeared and I recognized him, I suddenly felt an indescribable sense of joy. Moreover, he didn’t despise me after he found out about my family’s situation.”

Yu Bing knew that Jiang Chun had been taken advantage of by Sun Yu in her previous life and was forced into marriage.

Without Sun Yu in this life, Yu Bing couldn’t guess what Jiang Chun’s marriage would be like, nor did she want to interfere too much. She believed that Jiang Chun could make a choice that was suitable for her without external pressure.

All Yu Bing could do was strengthen herself, so that if there was a problem with Jiang Chun’s marriage one day, she could also be Jiang Chun’s powerful backer. “Only you know if the shoes fit. I believe you can choose your other half on your own.”

When the topic shifted to relationships, Jiang Chun couldn’t help but ask Yu Bing curiously, “Yu Bing, what kind of man are you looking for?”

Yu Bing was stunned for a moment. When Xiao Sheng’s face suddenly appeared in her mind, she was so startled that she hurriedly shook her head.

Jiang Chun was a little confused by Yu Bing’s reaction. “Why are you shaking your head?”

When Yu Bing came back to her senses, she smiled awkwardly and said, “I don’t plan to get married.”

Jiang Chun widened her eyes. “Why?”

As Yu Bing sat on the chair, she supported her chin with one hand as she looked ahead and said, “I don’t want to be hurt. Be it family or love, as long as I don’t put in the effort, I won’t be hurt.”

Jiang Chun didn’t agree with this point of view. “You’re a classic example of not even eating because you’re afraid of choking on your food. This is too extreme. You just haven’t met anyone you like from the bottom of your heart and who reciprocates your feelings!”

Yu Bing glanced at Jiang Chun and said with a smile, “Not bad. You’ve only been in a relationship for slightly more than half a day, but you’ve already become my relationship mentor.”

Jiang Chun rolled her eyes at Yu Bing. “I’m serious!”

No matter how Yu Bing thought about it, she felt that earning money was the best thing to do. After all, money wouldn’t betray people.

On the other side, Yu Yan felt that she was really unlucky today. First, she met Cui Jin and was mocked. Then, she went to town to collect the package, but realized that her adoptive parents had only sent five yuan and half of the previous amount of food!

Yu Yan glared at the letter from her adoptive parents on the table and slashed it a few times with the fruit knife. Only then did the frustration in her heart dissipate. After calming down, she opened the torn envelope and started reading it impatiently.

The letter was written by Yu Hai. He only told her about some family matters and how her adoptive mother had been sick for more than a week after returning home. Then, he told Yu Yan not to worry.

Then, he explained that they halved the money and food in hopes that she would integrate into the countryside like the other intellectuals, instead of bringing the spoiled behaviors of a city-dweller to the village and creating opportunities to slack off through bribery.

Yu Yan gritted her teeth and thought, ‘Who’s worried about that woman falling sick? It’s best if she dies from illness!’

Throughout the letter, there was no mention of letting her return to the city, but Yu Yan knew that her adoptive parents had done this on purpose. They hoped that she could admit her mistake and take the initiative to bring up the matter of returning.

However, her relationship with her biological parents had yet to stabilize. If she returned to the city, it would be difficult to contact them again.

This matter became an endless loop. The most important thing for her now was to maintain a stable relationship with her biological parents. However, the bus fare, gifts, and money to visit her biological parents with were all halved because her adoptive parents wanted to force her to return to the city. They distributed the money and only sent it once a month now!

She could no longer receive 50 yuan like before and write a letter to ask for more after three months. After all, they wouldn’t let her starve after she ran out of money.

It had to be said that the Yu couple had really forced Yu Yan into a corner this time.

Thinking of the five yuan in her pocket, Yu Yan felt anxious. After all, this amount of money wasn’t even enough for her bus ticket!

She calculated her savings and realized that she only had 7.83 yuan left. Seeing that her trip home was impossible now, Yu Yan was very indignant.

Staring at the words “your adoptive mother is sick” in the letter, Yu Yan finally chose to compromise.

Li Xin’s illness was caused by long-term exhaustion, so she could only recuperate slowly. On hot days, others would sweat from the heat while wearing singlets, but even when she wore long sleeves, she would feel that the temperature was just right.
