Obviously, Lin Wan's words convinced Liu Mei a little. Yes! Instead of letting Lin Yanbai spend it recklessly, it would be better for her to save it for Yanbai, just as if she was helping her save up for her dowry!
"Then... I'll talk to Yan Bai when he gets back?" Seeing Liu Mei wavering, Lin Wan was extremely proud. Her watch was waving at her. As long as the money was in Liu Mei's hands, why would she be worried about not having the watch? When the time comes, all she needs to do is cry a few times, and the watch will be easily obtained!
Liu Mei acted very quickly. That afternoon, she casually made this request at the dinner table.
"Yan Bai, isn't it the end of the month? Your dad and I also need to go get our salaries, and since you don't have to go, I'll just collect it for you!"
Lin Yanbai paused as she picked up the food. Catching a glimpse of Lin Wan's malicious smile, she immediately had a bad feeling: "You took it for me, what does that mean?"
Liu Mei was speechless, as if she hadn't expected Lin Yanbai to ask this. Lin Wan beside her said smugly, "Do you even need to ask? You don't have to pay for food and lodging at home? It would have been fine before, but now that you're making money, you should be filial to your parents!"
"Wanwan!" Liu Mei shouted, then turned to look at Lin Yanbai: "Yanbai, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. Mom is thinking that you are still young, so Mom will save it for you first and give it to you when you get married!"
"Give it to me when we get married? So our family situation is different, and I have to save my dowry myself, right?" Lin Yanbai sneered.
"This... Yan Bai, when you get married, your father and I will definitely add to your dowry, so how can you save it? But now we have three children, and your brother and sister are still in school, so I think..."
Lin Yanbai retorted, "Why, do they have to rely on me, their younger sister, to support them while they're in school? Stop embarrassing yourself!"
Liu Mei was speechless. Lin Qingfeng's hand under the table quietly pulled her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
Putting aside the thoughts of everyone at the dinner table, Lin Yanbai felt that he had originally wanted to wait until the job in the Propaganda Department was finalized before applying for a dormitory, but it seemed that he could not delay any longer.
Thinking about this, Lin Yanbai said to Xiao Qi in his mind: "Xiao Qi, please help me monitor the conversation between Lin Qingfeng and Liu Mei. I have a feeling that they will definitely discuss this matter soon."
Of course, Xiaoqi didn’t have the monitoring function, but she had won a recorder two days ago, and Xiaoqi could help her put it quietly into the bedroom.
The facts did not disappoint Lin Yanbai. With the help of the recorder, she finally understood the whole story. No wonder Liu Mei suddenly attacked today!
Lin Qingfeng's breathless voice came from the recorder: "Liu Mei, are you crazy? Why are you asking Yan Bai for money for no reason? Aren't you looking for trouble?"
"I'm looking for trouble? Isn't it for our family? Besides, I heard Wanwan say that she can get a bonus of more than 20 yuan this time. It's a lot of money, and Yan Bai has never seen much of the world. What if he gets cheated?"
Lin·Unworldly·Yan Bai:...It's very rude of you to say that!
"This kid hasn't been with us since he was young. He's finally been getting closer to us these past couple of days. Can you please stop being so naughty? He hasn't done anything yet, but now he's asking for money. Don't you think his greed is a little embarrassing?"
As he spoke, Lin Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something: "Wait! You just mentioned Wanwan? Did she instigate you? How did she know Yan Bai had a bonus this time?"
Liu Mei said a little uncomfortably: "Didn't I just hear her classmates say this?"
"Alright! No matter who told you this, don't mention it again!"
Hearing this, Liu Mei became anxious: "Dad, since Yan Bai came back, the family's expenses have been increasing. Chenchen and Wanwan still have to go to school. Life is already tight. They will graduate next year. If there is no money and no job arrangements, can you bear to let them go to the countryside?"
Lin Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly, and Liu Mei continued to persuade him, "We won't ask for much from Yan Bai. Once Chenchen and Wanwan have secured jobs next year, we won't ask her to pay and let her keep it for herself!"
After a long silence, Lin Qingfeng's light voice came from the recorder: "I'm just afraid... I'm afraid of pushing my daughter further and further away. I'm afraid she will hate us!"
Hearing the hesitation in Lin Qingfeng's tone, Liu Mei spoke to comfort him, "No, Yan Bai is a good child. Besides, we are her parents. There is no such thing as an overnight grudge between father and son!"
The conversation between the two ended here. In the silence, Lin Yanbai curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and the deep night obscured her expression.
But Xiao Qi inexplicably felt that his host was very sad. He said, "Host, don't be too sad! Although... you have the most invincible and adorable high-tech System Seven!"
"Puchi! Xiaoqi, why are you becoming narcissistic again? Actually, I'm not very sad. It's expected. I'm used to it. If they take my side one day, I'm afraid of some conspiracy!" Lin Yanbai teased.
Then he sighed, "Maybe I was born without parents!"
The next morning, Lin Yanbai got up early, ate two system-brand biscuits, got ready, and went out.
She first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, asked Wang Shuang to weigh two kilograms of peach cakes, and then strolled to the home of the director of the logistics department. She had inquired about the address when she first entered the factory!
Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! Lin Yanbai knocked gently on the door until she heard footsteps approaching from far away. The next second, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a cheerful older woman with short hair. She was a little puzzled when she saw Lin Yanbai: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, is this the home of Director Wang from the textile factory's logistics department? I'm an employee of our textile factory!"
Mrs. Wang was a little confused. What did this girl want from her husband?
Although she was a little confused, she still invited Lin Yanbai in. As soon as she entered the room, Lin Yanbai saw Director Wang sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He looked up at her when he heard her voice.
Lin Yanbai awkwardly handed the peach cake in her hand to Wang Saozi and said, "I wanted to come see the Director a long time ago, but I've been too busy lately, so I came just now. I hope the Director doesn't mind!"
After taking the peach cake from Lin Yanbai's hand, Mrs. Wang's smile became even brighter. Seeing his wife's smile, Director Wang cleared his throat and reminded her to be more restrained.
Then he turned to look at Yan Bai and said, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Comrade, just tell me what you have to say!"
"Hey! Mainly, I wanted to come visit you. Secondly, I really want to ask you something. I heard that our factory has employee dormitories, right?"
"There are staff dormitories, but beds are quite limited. How about this, if you want to stay there, I'll keep an eye out for you!"
"Hey, thank you, Director Wang. I'll be in trouble now. I work in our Propaganda Department. If you have any news, just have someone pass it on to me!"
