Chapter 2 No Way to Survive



The sound of footsteps interrupted Yunbei's thoughts. Yun Jianguo came out of the kitchen with a dark face, holding a black object that had been there for who knows how many days. He said to Yunbei, "There's no food in the kitchen. You can just eat this."

Yun Bei only glanced at Yun Jianguo indifferently and said, "Uncle, I remember there are eggs in the kitchen. I'm sick and hungry for several meals. How can I eat this?"

"Yunbei, why did you choose it? You know our family's situation. Those eggs are for your cousin to nourish her body. She has been in poor health since she was a child. Now she works so hard, she needs some nourishment."

"So work is really hard. How about this, you ask her to return her job? I'm not afraid of the hard work, and I don't need to eat eggs to replenish my body. What do you think?"

"You?" Yun Jianguo's face turned ugly again. He didn't expect that this little girl had become fluent in talking after being sick.

"Uncle, if you don't want to give me food, I'll go out and ask others for food. Don't blame me for telling the truth when they ask me."

As he spoke, Yunbei pretended to leave, which made Yun Jianguo's face darken even more. He looked at Yunbei coldly and said, "Yunbei, do you have to make such a scene?"

"Uncle, I'm not making a fuss. I'm really starving. You won't give me food, and you won't let me ask others for food?"

In one sentence, Yun Jianguo was speechless. Finally, for the sake of his own face, he could only go into the kitchen again and took out a white flour bun.

"Here, you are just a debt collector. I really owe you." After Yun Jianguo said this, he threw the steamed bun at Yun Bei and went back to his room angrily, trying to pretend that he didn't see it.

His heart was bleeding when he thought about Yun Yunbei eating such a delicious steamed bun. He had specially brought that bun back from the cafeteria at noon, intending to save it for dinner. Now Yun Bei had eaten one, leaving him with only three, which was not enough for his family.

Yun Bei didn't care about Yun Jianguo's attitude at all. She took the steamed bun and ate it in big mouthfuls. She was so hungry that she could eat a cow. She decided to fill her stomach first.

Yunbei finished a steamed bun in a few bites, and only then did he feel better in his stomach and regain some strength.

Afterwards, she went to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water to help herself. After all, eating steamed buns dry still made her choke.

When she entered the kitchen, she found that the cabinet was locked. Obviously, it was to prevent her.

Looking at the lock, Yun Bei sneered. She was not the original owner. She was still hungry, so there must be something to eat in the cabinet.

So she simply found a chopstick, sharpened it, and fiddled with the lock for a while, and the lock opened.

She was an ace agent in her previous life. Let alone opening this lock, even opening a combination lock is not a problem.

So, when Yun Jianguo couldn't stay in the room anymore and came out, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

When I walked in, I found that Yunbei had actually opened the cabinet, and all the eggs hidden inside had been cracked by her.

"Yunbei, what are you doing?" Yun Jianguo yelled angrily, as if he was hitting someone.

Yunbei had almost finished her meal, her stomach full and her strength returning. She wasn't afraid of him at all and replied directly, "Fried eggs, can't you tell?"

"Who told you to eat eggs?"

"I eat whenever I want. Do I need anyone's permission?" Yun Bei rolled his eyes at Yun Jianguo and said, "Go out first. If you want to argue or fight, wait until I'm done eating."

"You little stinky girl, you've gone too far. I'll teach you a lesson." Yun Jianguo didn't retreat but advanced, stretching out his hand to hit Yun Bei.

Then, before he could touch Yunbei, he retracted his hand, and saw that Yunbei had a kitchen knife in his hand, pointing at him.

"Uncle, if you dare to move a hair on me, don't blame me for making you see blood."

"You dare!" Yun Jianguo was angry and scared.

"You can give it a try and see if I dare. After this illness, I've finally figured it out. I can't be too accommodating to you. Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll eat me up until there's nothing left. Now you want my job, but soon you might want my life."

As Yun Bei spoke, he waved the knife a few times, which scared Yun Jianguo a lot.

"Yunbei, put down the knife quickly and talk it over nicely." Yun Jianguo was frightened. He persuaded Yunbei to put down the knife while backing away.

Yun Bei saw his actions and sneered. He turned around and finished the last egg, then came to the living room with a kitchen knife and stood face to face with Yun Jianguo.

"You, what do you want to do?" Yun Jianguo couldn't help but feel scared when he saw Yun Beidai holding a knife.

"Nothing, I just want to have a good talk with you."

"Talk, what to talk about?"

"Let's talk about my job and the compensation you're giving me. You don't think you're just going to let it go just because you took my job, do you?"

"Yunbei, we're family. Doesn't it make any difference whether I give the job to you or your cousin?" Yun Jianguo tried to get under Yunbei's skin again, playing the family card. In the past, when they said this, Yunbei would always give in. Because she cared about family, about them.

But Yunbei has changed her mind now, and his tricks are of no use to her.

Therefore, after hearing Yun Jianguo's words, Yun Bei laughed and said, "If you say so, then why did Yun Xue still want to take my job?"

"This isn't..." Yun Jianguo opened his mouth to argue, but Yun Bei interrupted him, saying, "I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense. Even if I sold the job to Yun Xue, I'll give you 800 yuan, not a cent less. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. Anyway, if you don't give me a way out, then none of us will survive."

Yun Bei's final word made Yun Jianguo's face turn black. Eight hundred yuan per job was the current market price, but why did he give it to him?

He has supported Yunbei for eight years. Isn't that enough to pay for this job?

He thought so and said so.

"Yunbei, I've raised you for so many years, and yet you've turned into an enemy. It's just a job, and you're asking me for money. Have you been eating and drinking for free these past eight years? I haven't even charged you for anything, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the kindness of raising her, but once he did, Yunbei decided to settle the score with him. She wanted to see whether they were the ones who raised her, or whether they had taken advantage of her enough.

Yunbei is not the original owner, so he believes whatever they say.

The original owner's mother sacrificed her life for the public good, so the factory not only gave her a pension, but also provided her with a salary. Although she didn't know the amount, the factory could check it.
