Ye Lian accepted the fare and the small token of appreciation.
"You're welcome, it's just a small favor. By the way, are you and your daughter okay?"
Tang Xiaofen nodded. "It's pretty good. Although the work is hard, I have flexible hours and it doesn't interfere with picking up and dropping off the kids. The pay is stable, so I don't have to worry about money."
The money wasn't much, only a hundred yuan a month, but it was more than enough for her.
If you pick up some waste from time to time, you can save a lot.
Although she is young, she has little education and cannot find a good job.
It's good enough that I can do the job of a cleaner.
After paying the money she owed them and chatting for a while, Tang Xiaofen left with her daughter.
Before leaving, Ye Lian gave her daughter a lot of candy, and also gave them some homemade candies, dried meat, etc.
After watching them leave, Ye Lian sighed, "This girl has a miserable life. Her family is unreliable, and they found her an unreliable in-law. Luckily, she got out of it on her own. Otherwise, she would have stayed in those mountains her whole life, ruining herself and her daughter as well."
Chen Xia thought about herself and thought that getting married was indeed like a second life.
Her parents were not good people, but fortunately the matchmaker was reliable and introduced her to the Lin family as her in-laws.
Otherwise, given her situation, if she married into a bad family, she would be eaten up without leaving a single bone.
"Mom, should we braise or steam our fish?"
"Let's steam it so it's easier for Yanyan to eat."
"OK."
…
The year passed in a flash. As agreed before, Lin Yuyao took her two children and her uncle's family back to South City by plane, while Fu Huaiyi drove back by himself.
The two families also gave him the New Year's goods they wanted to take back to South City, filling up a whole car.
Before leaving, Lin Yuyao reminded him, "Don't drive while tired. You need to rest when you get to the server."
"Okay, I understand."
Another year has passed.
The economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the road has been repaired again and again, and it is much wider than when she first came.
The area next to their community had been demolished a long time ago, and new buildings and streets were built.
Downstairs is the commercial street, which has begun to take on a modern scale.
The shop was open during the Chinese New Year, and Lin Yuyao would go there for a stroll when she had nothing to do.
Lin Ping called back to report that he was safe. In order to save money, he spoke very quickly and said a lot before hanging up the phone. Ye Lian was so angry that she scolded him for a long time.
"What are you in such a hurry for? What's going on with him?"
Ye Lian looked up at Lin Yuyao and asked, "He said he wanted to save money on phone bills. How much does that cost?"
Lin Yuyao touched her nose and said, "It seems to be closer to twenty-one minutes."
"What?" Ye Lian was stunned.
Lin Yuyao added, "This is the price per side."
Ye Lian opened her mouth but was completely speechless.
In other words, both sides have forty-one minutes?
Just now she complained that Lin Ping spoke too fast, but now that she knew the price, she felt that Lin Ping was not fast enough.
She swallowed and said, "If that's the case, then... then don't answer his calls from now on."
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and said nothing. How could she not answer it?
He is alone outside, so he has to answer the call no matter how expensive it is.
It's just that Lin Ping is thin-skinned and wants to save other people's phone bills.
After he hung up the phone and it was Yi Yunshuo's turn, people didn't save the money.
He called Fu Huaiyi. Fu Yatong brought them here using the phone number of the Fu family company.
Anyway, the Fu family paid for the calls, so he boasted slowly for nearly twenty minutes before Fu Huaiyi couldn't stand it anymore and hung up on him.
The fight lasted less than two minutes, and Lin Ping, who was still heartbroken, had a frown on his face.
"You're being too wasteful."
Yi Yunshuo put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Little brother, I'm not asking you to spend money, so why are you saving money for others? The Fu family has such a large business, how can they afford to save money on phone bills?"
"Tsk, I'm not as shameless as you."
This is their second year here, and they will be able to go home at the end of this year.
Fu Yatong has already obtained her graduation certificate here, but her family arranged for her to intern here so that she can contribute to the expansion of overseas markets in the future. That's why she was so busy that she didn't even go home for the New Year.
Seeing them talk on the phone and then talk about going home, Fu Yatong felt a little melancholy.
"You can go back by the end of this year. Sigh! I don't know when I can go back."
"Sister, you can go back anytime you want."
She patted the papers in her arms and said, "Look at these! How can I do this? I have so much work to do."
Yi Yunshuo pulled the document out of her arms and threw it directly onto the table.
"Why do you care about them? Is it because the Fu family can't afford to support you anymore or what?"
"Alas!" Fu Yatong sighed again, then shook her head and said, "You can't say that. My brother gave it to the state, not to mention that none of our children are idlers. My sister-in-law and my cousin work so hard, I can't help but work hard."
Yi Yunshuo looked at her in surprise and exclaimed, "Sister, you have grown up."
Fu Yatong forced a smile, looking exhausted by the heavy workload.
"You guys go back on your own. I have something else to do, so I won't send you off."
She returned to China for the Chinese New Year two years ago and went to the court with her brother and sister-in-law to eat melons, which had a great impact on her.
She has been pampered since she was a child. Her brother was right. She just didn't study hard when she was in school.
Because she thought her family was already so rich, she couldn't finish the food even if she ate it horizontally or vertically, so why should she work hard?
Don’t others work hard just to get a job in their company?
She doesn't have to work, so why should she work hard?
So she was busy chasing stars and enjoying herself.
She doesn't know the women living at the bottom of society, and she has no idea how difficult their lives are.
She has read every issue of the Nebula Society magazine. She originally thought that the stories were all made up, but later she found out that many of the stories were adapted from true stories, especially the section that Sister Xiaotong was in charge of.
One after another, women who lived at the bottom of society and were brutally exploited struggled out of the hellish cage through their own efforts and took their destiny firmly into their own hands.
They made her pity and admire them.
I see that they all have goals to strive for, while I can only muddle through.
Suddenly she felt that she couldn't go on like this.
She cannot be the only loser in the family. She must use her own advantages and the resources provided by her parents to realize her own value.
…
Song Qin gave birth to a son, and Lin Yuyao went to see her with gifts.
The wrinkled little baby was exactly like her twin, tiny and hairless like a monkey.
Song Qin sighed and said, "It's only 5.7 jin. My pregnancy is only about the same weight as your twins."
Lin Yuyao: "I was able to eat and sleep well at first, but you vomited until you gave birth. It's good that the child is this big now."
Song Qin nodded and said, "The only good thing might be that I successfully lost weight."
