Chapter 311 Moral Blackmail

The sun rose in the west.

Cen Yan had just returned from get off work when she saw Yu Qingguo standing at the door with Tian Ying, carrying a can of food and half a pound of sugar.

She couldn't help but become wary. "Platoon Leader Yu, what's going on with this?"

Stand up for her mother? If that's the case, she'll have no choice but to beat up Yu Qingguo as well.

Afraid that she would misunderstand, Yu Qingguo quickly handed over the canned food and sugar: "Comrade Cen Yan, I was on duty outside recently and didn't know what happened in the family compound. I only heard when I came back that my mother had made a mistake. That's why I came here to apologize to you."

"I see, but I don't think it's necessary. You should take the canned goods and sugar back with you."

Cen Yan doesn't lack these things, and even if she did, she wouldn't accept them. Yu Qing's family is already struggling to make ends meet, so it's better to save the food for the children.

Moreover, she could maintain a superficial peace with Tian Ying and Sister-in-law Yu, but she would never forgive those who tried to "hurt" her. However, the premise of this superficial peace was that the Yu family would not provoke her.

Yu Qingguo panicked when he saw her refuse to accept the food. "Comrade Cen Yan, are you still angry? My mother comes from the countryside and doesn't know anything. She's just soft-hearted. Her four children have been crying and wailing for days, so she thought of borrowing some meat from your family. But you weren't home, so..."

Cen Yan raised her hand to interrupt him, smiling as she pointed to the blood-stained wall: "Doesn't my house have a door? Do you have to walk over the wall to borrow something?"

"..." Yu Qingguo's face instantly turned bright red, and he didn't know what to say. He knew that Cen Yan was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, but he didn't expect her to be this difficult.

But little did Yu Qingguo know that what Cen Yan hated most in her life was not a scumbag or a bad man, but a man like Yu Qingguo who lacked responsibility!

Tian Ying was wrong, and it's true that if she admits it openly, it's not that we can't be lenient and let her off the hook.

But this family is really something else. They steal things but won't admit it, insisting they just borrowed them. Fine, you can say whatever you want, but why are you dragging the child into this?

Oh, you came to someone else's house to steal meat because the child was greedy.

If you're going to steal money from someone else's house another day, is it because something happened to the child and you couldn't find them, so you're just stealing as a way of showing respect?

Besides, even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a lame excuse. She and Qi Jingchuan had spent those two days off at home, teaching their sisters-in-law how to make lipsticks.

You can find her by just shouting. She'll lend you anything you need. Did Tian Ying shout?

The answer is no.

Therefore, Cen Yan has no intention of giving the Yu family any face.

"The pork lard residue and the wall-climbing incident are over, I don't want to bring them up again. Platoon Leader Yu doesn't need to say anything about forgiveness or not. There's no need to stir up the silt at the bottom of the water and muddy the water. If you came looking for Qi Jingchuan, please go back, he's not here."

Cen Yan said something and pushed her old-fashioned women's bicycle home.

Thump—

Tian Ying knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Xiao Cen, please forgive your auntie. Your auntie was blinded by greed and misunderstood! If you're angry that I stole your pork cracklings, then hit me, scold me, but please don't not forgive me, because I really know I was wrong, sob sob sob..."

Tian Ying's voice was loud, and it was during the evening rush hour when people were getting off work and cooking.

Her outburst drew a crowd to Cen Yan's house, where people pointed and whispered about her.

"What's going on? Didn't we say the theft was over? Why is it causing trouble again?"

"Who knows? Could it be that Cen Yan's husband put pressure on Yu Qingguo in the army?"

"Possibly, otherwise why would Yu Qingguo personally bring his mother to apologize and even kneel down..."

"Pressuring? Wouldn't that be an abuse of power for private gain? Would Commander Qi dare to do such a thing?"

"If you've married a capitalist's daughter, what wouldn't you dare to do?"
