The arrival of Qiao's mother was just a minor incident and had no impact on Yin.
In daily life, there are many trivial matters to attend to, so there's no time to worry about unimportant little things. However, Yu Yin still found an opportunity to tell her father about Qiao's mother sending money to sever ties.
"It's alright. We can't possibly be worthy of someone from a family like theirs. It's good that we've accepted the money; it puts our minds at ease."
With her father's words, Yu Yin felt even less burdened. The 1,800 yuan was almost as much as her own savings, and Yu Yin was overjoyed.
During the previous inventory of their assets, Lu Shurui handed over some more money, and with their combined salaries from the past year or so, Yu Yin had over two thousand yuan in savings. In this era, that's quite good.
Because of the cheating effect of her spatial storage, Yu Yin's family only bought a token amount of food to avoid being noticed by others and Lu Shurui. The majority of their food came from the space's production, especially oil. Yu Yin even went to A Xiang's village and fried a large quantity of rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and even sesame oil at once. Finally, she made up an excuse to keep the oil stored in her space, enough to last for a while. She also sent some rapeseed oil and sesame oil to her mother and Lu's second sister, as these were highly sought-after items.
With the current shortage of supplies, even money doesn't guarantee you can buy anything. Aside from necessities, there aren't many major expenses. Therefore, Yu Yin and her colleagues haven't spent much of their wages. Lu Shurui, on the other hand, doesn't care about these things. He doesn't even know how much savings his family has. He hands over his monthly salary, and Yu Yin keeps him a little pocket money.
Now, thanks to the contributions of Qiao's mother and her husband, Yu Yin's savings have exceeded four thousand, which is truly delightful.
Not to mention Yu Yin secretly rejoicing after counting the money, Captain Qiao Anan in the hospital had recovered most of his health after treatment.
The military has a confidentiality agreement, and no one knows the details of Captain Qiao's injury.
"Mom, where have you been?"
Mrs. Qiao was displeased by Yu Yin's rebuke. She was someone everyone fawned over in Kyoto; when had she ever been humiliated like this? Thinking of Yu Yin's money-grubbing attitude, she thought she was utterly ignorant.
"I went to thank the person who saved you, but who knew she would ask for such an exorbitant amount, complaining that a thousand yuan wasn't enough, and even demanding that Xiaoxiao ask for anything..."
"Mom, did you go to repay the debt of saving my life with money?"
Qiao Anan's voice was cold, which made the woman named Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, feel a chill run down her spine. She unconsciously touched her arm and took a step back.
"I was just worried she'd cling to you. Lots of people are saying that you should repay a life-saving debt with your body, but who knew she was already married with children? I just didn't find out the details."
Qiao's mother was also helpless. She knew that her son was married and had children, so what was there for her to worry about? In the end, she did something unnecessary and was even blamed by her son.
"Mom, you should go back today."
"Don't you need someone to take care of you?"
Qiao Anan looked at his mother without saying a word, his meaning was very clear.
"Fine, I'll leave. But who am I doing this for?"
Qiao's mother left in a huff with Xiaoxiao, feeling that her son was not considerate at all, and even a little scary.
Meanwhile, Captain Joe inside the room fell into deep thought. He wasn't completely unconscious yet; he still retained some awareness. In a daze, he saw a young face, but couldn't make it out clearly, before finally losing consciousness completely.
His mother has gotten a bit too arrogant these past few years, so we need to talk to his grandfather about it. At this time, keeping a low profile is the best policy.
Yu Yin was unaware of what had happened at the hospital. She spent her days going to work and taking care of her child after get off work, leading a fulfilling life.
The yard is surrounded by brambles on one side, and inside that is a ring of various mosquito-repelling and insect-repelling plants. They've grown and are quite effective; at least there are fewer mosquitoes.
It was hot, so Yu Yin took the custom-made large bathtub out to the yard. The oval bathtub, half a meter high and one and a half meters long, was also made by the old man and was very convenient for the two little ones to play in the water.
"Lu Shurui, have you boiled the water yet? Your daughter is about to fall asleep in the bathtub."
"It will open soon."
The child is still young, and the water temperature is a bit low, so Yu Yin has to boil a pot of water each time and dilute it to warm water for the child to play with.
Working together, the two quickly put the two little ones in. There wasn't much water; it just reached a little above their bellies when they sat in it, so as long as they didn't lie flat, they wouldn't choke on the water.
"Was it fun? And did you stay safe and sound?"
"It's fun, let's play, slap slap..."
An'an, that little rascal, excitedly slapped the water with her hands, splashing water everywhere and getting Yu Yin all over.
"You little rascal, you've gotten Mommy's clothes wet. You watch them while I go change."
"Giggle..."
Accompanied by An'an's giggles, Yu Yin went upstairs.
"Excuse me, does Comrade Yu Yin live here?"
Lu Shurui got up to open the door, and two comrades in military uniforms stood straight at the door.
"You live here, and who are you?"
“I am Qiao Anan.”
"Ah, come in."
Qiao Anan and the young soldier followed Lu Shurui into the courtyard. The first thing they saw was a yard full of fruit trees and vegetables, which looked very lively.
"Please sit down."
Lu Shurui brought over two stools and invited the guests to sit down.
"Yu Yin, we have a guest."
"knew."
A response came from upstairs, and a moment later, Yu Yin came downstairs.
"Comrade Yu, I am Qiao Anan. First, thank you for saving my life, and then I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."
Yu Yin sized up the person in front of her. He was over 1.8 meters tall, almost 1.9 meters. No wonder she had been struggling to move him. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and exuded an imposing aura. He was clearly no ordinary soldier.
"No need for apologies. We each got what we wanted, and I received payment as well. As for the claim of being saved, you should actually be more grateful for that military uniform. If you hadn't been wearing it, I would have just gone down the mountain to look for someone, and the outcome would have been beyond my control."
