The Zhou family left, but Ding Minxiu stayed here. She sat there with her shoulders hunched and her head lowered.
Yu Xiangan walked out of the room where she had listened to the whole thing.
Everyone looked at Yu Xiangan's expression and found that she was very calm.
Yao Cuifen came over, pulled her to sit down, and held her hand tightly, "Xiao An, don't be sad."
Yu Xiangan: "I'm not sad." Looking at their expressions of disbelief was quite satisfying.
She looked at Ding Minxiu: "I want to ask you, why do you do this?" She was asking on behalf of the original owner.
The atmosphere suddenly changed and became a little tense.
Everyone wants to know the answer to this question.
Ding Minxiu still had her hands on her lower abdomen. She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on her hands.
They had just reached an agreement, and she would soon go to Zhou's house. By then, she wouldn't have to endure it anymore, but now she was still under the roof of the Yu family, so she had to endure it. She took a deep breath and said, "We...are in a free love relationship."
Yu Xiangan's face remained calm: "Free love, don't you know he is my fiancé?"
Ding Minxiu was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice: "I can't help it."
Yao Cuifen laughed, "What a feeling you can't help!"
Ding Minxiu lowered her head and admitted her mistakes: "I know that all the mistakes are my fault. I have actually thought about confessing many times, but..."
Yu Xiangan nodded, and said seriously: "It is indeed your fault."
Ding Minxiu was stunned and couldn't continue what he was about to say.
Yu Xiangan continued: "You knew clearly that he was someone to me, yet you still fell in love with him. You were so shameless. Of course it's your fault. You have been together for more than a year. Originally, our family's relationship with him was not very good, but since you were together, he has come here more frequently and brought some gifts, many of which you like. Seeing us happy about his coming, are we stupid in your eyes?" Yu Xiangan asked himself and answered: "Probably. It took you so long to confess. Did you really want to confess? If you said it clearly."
Ding Minxiu couldn't help but interrupt her: "If we tell you, will you be willing to help us?"
She finally raised her head and looked at Yu Xiangan with reluctance in her eyes.
Yu Xiangan: "Then I want to ask you, who took the initiative to make you two fall in love?"
Ding Minxiu's eyes flickered involuntarily, "He said he likes me better."
Yu Xiangan, who had dug a hole, nodded: "Oh, it's him, I understand."
Yu Qingshan looked at Ding Minxiu with disappointment in his eyes: "You heard what I just said. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Yu family. If you live well in the future, we won't take advantage of you. If you live poorly, don't come to our house. I will find a chance to explain to everyone."
Ding Minxiu's face was as pale as if it had been soaked in water. She moved her lips and looked at Zhao Qiaoniang for help. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her with red eyes, saying nothing.
What else can she say now?
She had done such a thing, how could she have the face to say anything.
Ding Minxiu touched her belly and encouraged herself in her heart. She knew that her biological father was unreliable and was only there to suck her blood. But it didn't matter. She had the child and Brother Boyang, and they would treat her well.
Once the matter was finalized, action was taken quickly. Since the Zhou family had made up their minds, they did not want to delay it any longer. If they delayed any further, Ding Minxiu's belly would get big. By then, even if others did not know the inside story, they would be able to guess most of it. They could not afford to lose face.
Yu Xiangan went to the food factory to take an exam and received a notice within two days asking her to report to the finance office with her information. Yang Xizhi also quickly completed the retirement procedures. At the same time, a young man named Chen Tieniu took her place and became a temporary worker in the food factory.
When Yu Xiangan's relationship was transferred to the food factory and the dust settled, Ding Minxiu also took a small bag and quietly entered the Zhou family and became the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.
Whatever she brought with her when she first entered the Yu family, she should take away now. Yu Qingshan believed that he had done her justice, but she did such a thing. It was lucky that he did not add insult to injury.
Zhao Qiaoniang was ill and became unusually silent at home. Except for a few words in front of Yu Xiangju, she would not speak at other times. Yu Xiangan saw it but said nothing. She had to figure it out on her own. It was impossible for her to persuade her. The original owner's life was gone just like that, and she could not do such a generous thing to benefit others.
Since Yu Xiangan had been accepted by a job unit, she naturally did not have to worry about going to the countryside. It was also easy to get a diploma. She went to explain the situation to the teacher. She did not have to go to class now. At the end of the semester, she would take an exam with everyone and then they would get their diplomas together.
It took less than half a month from the time she came here to the time her work was settled, which was very swift and efficient.
"Xiao An, Qingchun, it's almost time, let's clean up. There is pig's trotter soup in the cafeteria today, but it will be gone if you go too late." Yan Yuzhen has a watch on her wrist. She is one of the only two people in the finance office who owns a watch. Today, the other person who owns a watch went out, so she took on the responsibility of telling time.
After hearing this, Yu Xiangan quickly sorted out the documents on the desk and put them in the drawer.
The sound of packing up could be heard from the cashier's office next door. When they heard the bell for lunch break, they didn't delay for a second, picked up their lunch boxes and walked quickly towards the cafeteria. Some of them were anxious and ran straight over.
The food in the cafeteria is similar every day, but occasionally there are some good things that you can't usually see. These things are limited, and if you go too late, they will be gone.
Just like the pig's trotter soup we had at noon today, each person paid five cents to get it, and there was a big spoonful full of it, and even a small piece of pig's trotter with not much meat on it, accompanied by some soybeans. It was so delicious.
Yu Xiangan saw it and couldn't help swallowing.
Although she is working now, she has just started and has not received her salary yet.
These workers have their connections transferred here, and the food coupons issued every month are given directly to the canteen, so when they come here to eat, they don’t need coupons, but they have to pay.
You still need meat tickets to eat meat dishes, but few people are willing to eat them.
If you don’t run fast, you’ll miss out on this kind of meat that doesn’t require a meat ticket.
The food factory and Yu's home are in two different directions. It takes about half an hour to walk to and from get off work every day. The lunch break is short, so Yu Xiangan does not go home and eats in the cafeteria. Yan Yuzhen has the same reason. Only Sun Qingchun lives close to home, so he uses a lunch box to get a portion of pig's trotter soup and a bowl of multi-grain porridge, and then goes back. His wife is still waiting for him.
"Xiao An, go to the warehouse this afternoon and look for last month's delivery order. It must have been missed. I checked it today and it's not complete."
Yan Yuzhen was very satisfied with this new person in their accounting office. Although she was young, she was very steady, able to write and do math, and she picked up things quickly. She knew what to do after just a little guidance.
"Sister Zhen, okay." Yu Xiangan nodded as he enjoyed the rare meat dish.
"Hey, and don't forget, tomorrow is payday, you have to check carefully, that's why you came late, otherwise you can get it."
Yu Xiangan couldn't help but smile, "Sister Zhen, I've remembered it for a long time. Although I can't get paid now, I can watch it and satisfy my eyes."
Yan Yuzhen laughed heartily: "Yes, I tossed and turned in bed the night before my first paycheck. I couldn't sleep at all, but I didn't feel sleepy. I was very energetic that day."
"Sister Zhen, do you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things after you get your salary?" She has been enduring for a long time. Since she came here, she only ate meat buns and eggs when she was sick. The rest of the time, she had no oil at all and had to endure hunger. Her goal now is not to eat meat, as long as she can be full. If she wants to eat enough, there is not enough food at home, so she can only spend money to buy it. Where does the money come from?
She was too embarrassed to ask Yu Qingshan for help, so she just endured it. She had already made up her mind that she would not endure it anymore after her salary was paid. She would go shopping!
This body is so skinny and has not developed much. It will be hard to make up for it later if you lose it now. I am only eighteen years old now, so there is still time.
Yan Yuzhen nodded: "Of course I will go. I don't have much salt at home, and the soap is almost used up. I will go buy some when I get my salary..." Her family was not well off, with many children, and she had to budget her monthly salary carefully to make ends meet.
Today she had pig's trotter soup, which was a rare and satisfying meal. In the afternoon, after get off work, she took her lunch box to the canteen and got a mixed flour pancake, a bowl of porridge and a spoonful of fried tofu. When she got back, Yu Xiangju cheered, "There's tofu to eat!"
Yu Qingshan took out his lunch box with a smile: "Look what this is?"
Yu Xiangju ran from Yu Xiangan to his side, looked over, and was surprised: "There are fish today!"
The small fish are fried until golden and smell delicious.
This is a rare delicacy.
If you want to fry it fragrantly, you have to use a lot of oil, which we usually don’t afford to do at home.
Yu Qingshan said cheerfully: "Yes, there are fish. What did you do today? Did you do anything naughty?"
"No, no, Mingjie and I were playing with stones at home. We didn't go anywhere. We were very good!"
I was afraid that my dad would say I was not good and I wouldn’t be able to eat anything delicious.
Zhao Qiaoniang came over from the kitchen with a plate of sweet potatoes. When she saw what they brought back, a smile appeared on her face.
With two workers at home, I don’t have to cook much in the evening.
Today she steamed some sweet potatoes and mixed some wild vegetables.
The benefits for regular workers are still better. Temporary workers like her don’t have such benefits. If they want to go to the canteen, they have to get their own tickets and money.
At night, Yu Xiangan woke up hungry again.
After tossing and turning for a while, I couldn't help but get up and eat a sweet potato.
The stomach during the growing period is a bottomless pit. There is an old saying that goes, "A grown-up boy will eat his father out of poverty." An important reason why Yu Qingshan's family is poor is that there are many children in the family and they eat a lot. He can earn more than 40 yuan a month, but he can't save any money.
Including the two who passed away, he and Qin Fenglan had seven children, raised six, and five are still alive.
Yu Xiangan admired Yu Qingshan a little. He used to be a country boy from a poor village, but now he not only raised so many children, but also paid for their education. The lowest one graduated from junior high school, and he also helped his parents and relatives in the countryside from time to time.
It’s really not easy.
Why did she come here? After eating a sweet potato and lying down, Yu Xiangan couldn't fall asleep for a while, and thought about life again.
Could it be that good people are rewarded? Because she lost her life saving others, the existence in the dark compensated her with another life.
Under the faint moonlight, Yu Xiangan touched a small mirror from the cabinet.
The skinny girl in the mirror is about 50% similar to her. When she gains weight, they may look even more alike. Plus, they have the same name... Could this be her previous life?
She couldn't figure it out, but she was open-minded and had basically accepted the reality. She had no psychological barriers to calling Yu Qingshan "Dad". Even when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would sometimes feel as if she were in another world.
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly? Or was it the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?
Is time travel real? Maybe she was the original owner, but she just had an extra memory of a later life?
The answer was fruitless and it was getting late. Yu Xiangan decisively cut off his thoughts and decided not to think about it anymore as he had to go to work tomorrow.
Half asleep and half awake, Yu Xiangan "sat up in shock from her dying illness". She is not sick now, but this sentence is very apt to describe the way she suddenly jumped up from the bed.
She has worn it, and the situations in the TV series have already happened. Is there no golden finger?
For example, portable space, superpowers, mental power, etc.
When she thought of this, her sleepiness disappeared and she began to feel her whole body to see if there were any special moles or birthmarks.
After checking, nothing was found. This was just an ordinary little girl. She didn't give up and kept muttering to herself, "Open sesame!"
"Milamilu transform!"
"Hurry up and obey the command!"
"Balala the Magic Fairy!"
There was no response, nothing unusual. Yu Xiangan touched her sweaty forehead. Even if she didn't have a portable space, it would be fine if she had a game or a system. As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the scene in front of her changed. In front of her was a tall apple tree with many fruits. Next to it were three chestnuts, grapes, and pears that were in the fruit-bearing period. There was a lush green lawn, and a field of soybeans in the far left corner. To the right of the four fruit trees was a winding stream, and two ducks could be seen swimming on it. To the right of the stream was a warehouse with the shape of a windmill.
Yu Xiangan looked left and right, and slowly closed her mouth which had opened wide unconsciously. This place looked very familiar. Wasn't this the Xixi Farm where she spent her leisure time?
