Chapter 38: Doing Good and Accumulating Virtue
At the Zhao family, Ms. Jian had only once urged Yu Yin to have a baby in front of everyone, and that was only once, half-jokingly. Zhao Shunian was also present at the time, and he said he would discuss the topic again in a few years; he wasn't in a rush.
Yu Yin noticed some of the people present had subtle expressions. She hadn't understood them before, but after hearing Ms. Li's opinion of her, she suddenly understood. They felt that if she gave birth to the child, she would be inseparable from the Zhao family. No one, including herself, was optimistic about this marriage, but Zhao Shunian said he had never considered divorce.
When Yu Hao looked away, their gaze had already ended. She didn't notice and continued, "We didn't have this kind of thing before. Our parents didn't know how to control us. When we wanted to study, we studied. When we didn't want to study, we went out to work. Speaking of which, you're really amazing. You don't need your parents to worry about you. It seems like you didn't even go to cram school, but you got into a good university."
"No, I did attend cram school. Have you forgotten? It was you who enrolled me in the cram school. My academic performance declined drastically at that time, and I thought I would not be able to get into university." Yu Yin remembered this very well.
Yu Yin suffered a nervous breakdown during the first semester of her senior year. She couldn't concentrate on anything and her grades plummeted. Her teachers and family worried about her, and the more they worried, the worse her anxiety became.
At that time, Yu Hao had just started working and was not at home. She sent money back to enroll Yu Yin in math tutoring classes and called back specifically to comfort Yu Yin.
She talked a lot to Yu Yin, and Yu Yin was gradually enlightened and adjusted his attitude.
Yu Hao didn't have much money, and could only afford one math course. It was a cram school run secretly by her school math teacher, as the Education Bureau didn't allow teachers to run private cram schools at the time. Yu Yin still remembers attending classes at her teacher's home. The tuition cost over 1,000 yuan per semester, and she attended for two semesters, all paid for by Yu Hao.
Yu Hao recalled Yu Yin's words and said with emotion, "It's been so long since I realized it. I thought it was your final year, and you failed at the last minute because of the pressure, and you didn't get into a good school. It's such a pity."
This was the first time Zhao Shunian knew about Yu Yin's academic struggles. He assumed her academic career was smooth sailing, as she enjoyed excellent grades, was protected by her teachers and classmates, and rarely bullied. She lived in a simple environment. This wasn't like studying abroad, where students who only studied and struggled with sports were often bullied.
The reason why he had this impression of her was that a few years ago when she was interning in the company, she suddenly asked him about salary payment.
Even though Yu Yin had been an intern for two or three months and often appeared in front of Zhao Shunian, he didn't have a deep impression of her. He just thought she was an ordinary intern. He didn't even know her name, and he rarely assigned her any tasks.
She expressed her worries about her salary to him that day, and from that moment on, he really had an impression of her.
That was the first time Zhao Shunian took a good look at Yu Yin. She was dressed in cheap clothes he'd scavenged from who knows where. She wore no makeup, but she was still very beautiful, very thin and slender. He felt she must be a poor student from a very ordinary family, whose only hope was to change her life through studying. She had grown up in the ivory tower of school and was new to the workplace, naive and a bit of a nerd.
After Yu Yin asked that question, she became nervous and timid, as if she was not the bold and fearless person just now, and her attitude changed quickly.
Zhao Shunian felt so sorry for her that he didn't bother to care and just considered it as a good deed.
Yu Yin was overworked at the time, exhausted, but she held back because of the salary. She could tolerate a short-term loss, but she would eventually get back on track. Zhuang Jie had a bad impression of her, and since she couldn't get back at him, she turned to Zhao Shunian.
After Zhao Shunian noticed Yu Yin, he also discovered that he had basically never assigned her any work, but she appeared in front of him frequently.
At that time, the company was hit by Zhao Xinzhi and encountered problems. The people in the secretariat were in a state of anxiety and were preparing to find a new employer in advance. Yu Yin often completed some work for them.
When Yu Yin's internship was about to end, Zhao Shunian cut the number of staff in the secretariat to only half.
He thought that since they were looking for another job, he would give them a push to save them the trouble of running back and forth, and they would have more time to find a new job after leaving.
It is common to look for another job while still working, but if it is revealed that the person is not irreplaceable or valuable, Zhao Shunian will not waste his salary by keeping a fickle person.
Those people are disgusted with Yu Yin, and Yu Yin is also disgusted with them. Let's see who can be more disgusted in the end.
Because of his stereotype of Yu Yin as a simple, nerdy, and down-to-earth person who walks the right path, Zhao Shunian did not suspect that she was deliberately letting him know when she played tricks in front of him, creating the image of being bullied but not daring to resist, silently enduring, and working hard to complete the heavy work.
This stereotype was gradually broken after they got married, and Zhao Shunian discovered another side of Yu Yin.
………
After the conversation, Yu Hao went to the kitchen to check Wu Xiangjie's progress. The progress did not satisfy her. After complaining a few words, she helped prepare and cook the food.
Yu Yin heard the voice and said, "Let me help too."
Yu Hao's voice came immediately, "No need, the kitchen is full of fumes, just play with Jia Jia."
So, Yu Yin and Jia Jia started playing with the doll and matching clothes for it.
After a while, Yu Yin remembered that there was someone sitting in the living room. Seeing him so quiet, she suddenly felt a little happy. She had seen his relatives and family members so bored in the old house before. Now the situation has changed, and she wanted him to experience this feeling too.
Jia Jia went to the room to get her favorite doll and prepared to play with Yu Yin.
There were only two people left in the living room. Zhao Shunian asked Yu Yin, "Why did your mentality suddenly collapse at that time?"
"I was young at that time and didn't know how to relieve stress. Some people are so stressed that they would jump off a building. I just had a problem with my mentality and never thought about dying." Yu Yin feels that he is a person who cherishes life very much.
"You speak in very general terms."
"Being vague is also a reason. Anyway, I answered your question."
Zhao Shunian said, "You are becoming more and more adept at making excuses."
When Yu Yin grew up, she was seen by others as not good at talking. She was not as eloquent as she was when she was a child. She focused on studying while growing up and automatically ignored and blocked out many things, so that she became a bit nerdy.
Entering the workplace, Liang Lisheng appeared, and later, when she married into the Zhao family, she witnessed many sinister things, and her once-buried nature resurfaced. Also, Yu Yin felt that she was often speechless by Zhao Shunian, and she was really at a disadvantage. As the saying goes, "A black sheep is black, and a red sheep is red." She gradually became more argumentative.
