Fortunately, Duan Mei reacted quickly and thought of how she had hinted to Yu Yan in the village that Yu Bing was unfilial to her family.

At that time, Yu Yan defended her, so she planned to divert the topic to this. She immediately put on the image of a good mother who was thinking for her daughter’s sake. “Sigh, she might not have money for it.”

With that, she glanced at Yu Pan, who immediately understood Duan Mei’s thoughts. “Mom, don’t speak up for Yu Bing. She won’t feel grateful for your kindness. The last time she came back, she only brought two pounds of mung bean cake. Everyone in the courtyard knows. She was dressed in nice clothes, but she doesn’t care about her family at all.”

Yu Yan didn’t expect Yu Bing to be so outrageous, and her expression immediately became as ugly as the Yu family’s. She said angrily, “Yu Bing is so unfilial. I wonder why those leaders let such a person become the captain of the intellectuals and the person-in-charge of the factory. Aren’t they afraid of her leading the village astray?!”

Duan Mei’s image as a loving mother couldn’t be ruined, so at this moment, she still had to put in a good word for Yu Bing. “Forget it. We’re family after all and it’s not like we lack food.”

Yu Pan was still sulking over the fact that Yu Bing didn’t bring her jam, but in order to create the image of a harmonious family atmosphere for Yu Yan, she could only agree. “That’s right. It’s not that we covet the food, but we’re a little disappointed. Therefore, we’re really grateful to see you bring these things back when visiting us.”

When Yu Yan heard this, she felt that the money she spent was worth it. She felt like she was needed and approved by them.

When Yu Yan saw that her family was so tolerant of Yu Bing, she was a little angry and decided to talk about Yu Bing’s moral conduct. “Sigh, it’s not that I want to criticize her, but she’s my sister after all. She runs around with a man all day long. She really doesn’t know… There are a lot of rumors in the village. Doesn’t she have a fiancé…”

When Duan Mei heard this, she thought of how she had been rejected by Shi Lian because of Yu Bing and that bumpkin a while ago, so her expression turned ugly. “I can’t control her anymore. Let’s not talk about her anymore. Today is a festive day of reunion.”

When Yu Yan saw the stiff expression on Duan Mei’s face, she smiled. Just like that, Yu Bing would slowly become despised by her family. In the end, everyone would abandon her without hesitation!

As Yu Pan pricked up her ears and listened carefully, she didn’t stop what she was doing and picked up another piece of snowflake pastry to unwrap.

Seeing that Yu Pan had performed well tonight, Duan Mei endured it. Although she didn’t say anything, she quickly put away all the things on the coffee table.

“It’s getting late. Yu Pan, bring Yu Yan to wash up. Everyone, sleep early today. We still have more time to catch up. There’s no hurry.”

Yu Pan could tell what Duan Mei was up to, but she didn’t mind. As long as Yu Yan was around, she could get food from her mother. After all, her mother still had to cooperate.

Yu Yan slept in Yu Bing’s previous bed.

There were not many things that belonged to Yu Bing at home to begin with. When she went to the countryside, Yu Bing had already taken all her things away, so now, the room was filled with Yu Pan’s things. There were no longer any traces of Yu Bing’s existence.

When Yu Yan saw this, she was very satisfied. She thought that the Yu family had specifically cleaned it up for her.

The next day, the Yu family woke up to eat breakfast.

The breakfast Duan Mei prepared was very simple. She steamed five sweet potatoes that Yu Yan had brought over, one for each of them. She also cooked some plain porridge and cut some pickled vegetables as side dishes.

Yu Yan ate with relish. She felt that even if she had to eat bland food here, it was better than eating delicacies with her adoptive parents.

Yu Yan had applied for a week’s leave to visit her family. Other than the four-day round trip, she could only stay in Hang City for three days. Today was Yu Yan’s first day here.

Previously, the Yu family was worried that it would be difficult to explain if Yu Yan was seen by Shi Lian or others, and the solution Yu Pan thought of was very simple. She asked Duan Mei to specifically take three days off to accompany Yu Yan.

However, in order to avoid meeting acquaintances, Duan Mei had found all kinds of reasons to keep Yu Yan at home two days ago, so no one knew that there was an additional person in the Yu family’s home.
