After Zheng Qianlan returned home with her daughter, she started crying, completely unlike the shrew she had been like just now, beating and scolding people.
Yu Yan had long been accustomed to it. Her mother was a weak person with a strong appearance. Every time she had a fight with Grandma Yu and her father, she would cry when she got home.
The chances of winning today are relatively good because an old comrade came out to help speak for her. If it were in the past, people from other compounds might have come to laugh at her and mock her mother for being unfilial to the elderly and for leading her daughter astray by being unfilial to her father.
But why didn't they think about it? With the temperament of those people in the Yu family, why should she be filial to her father? Her mother had killed so many children, and she didn't raise a knife to kill them all, which was already a favor to her.
Because she was alive, her mother still had some hope of living. If she were gone, her mother herself would not want to live anymore and would definitely take all those bad guys from the Yu family with her.
Even if I don't have that much ability, I will try my best to take away as many as I can.
If you set a fire in the middle of the night, everyone will die.
Looking at her crying mother, Yu Yan was filled with heartache. Her mother had truly suffered in this life.
"Mom, let's not be angry with them anymore. Just divorce him." Yu Yan advised again.
Zheng Qianlan wiped away her tears. "If I divorce him, there's no way they'll give you to me. If I divorce him, those people will definitely be on your father's side. They'll even say some bullshit like a daughter following her father, but they won't realize they'll be pushing you into the fire pit."
Yu Yan said viciously, "If you push me into the fire, I will let their entire family perish in the flames. Let's see who is more ruthless. When they are all dead, I will go to those people who said they were good to Dad and curse them, saying that even if I become a ghost, I will not let them go. Let their bad mouths ruin my life."
Zheng Qianlan slapped her hard, "So I worked so hard all these years to raise you, just to let you die? I just want to see you find a good man, get married and start a family, so that my life will not be in vain."
"Mom, they've ruined our reputation so much over the years. How can I find a good man? Besides, you've already met a man like my dad. You still want me to get married? Are you going to push me into the fire pit too?"
Yu Yan couldn't understand why everyone was so insistent on her getting married. She had grown up and had a job, albeit a temporary one, but she was hopeful about her future. She knew she would definitely become a regular employee.
She has a salary to support herself, and her mother also has a job and is more successful than her. Why can't the two of them live a good life together?
Zheng Qianlan: "Who doesn't get married? If you tell others about it, they'll laugh at you."
Yu Yan: "This isn't the only thing that makes people laugh at me. Besides, no one leaves home without getting a divorce. You're the first one. You kept arguing with my dad at the factory, and the director had no choice but to assign us here. You've been laughed at too, and I'm used to it."
Zheng Qianlan: "You still blame me. If I hadn't made such a fuss, you would have been beaten to death by your cruel grandma and dad as soon as you were born."
Yu Yan: "I don't blame you. Don't use this to threaten me every time I disagree with getting married. It would be more troublesome for me to get married than not. How can I do things after getting married? Should I recognize them? Will they go to my husband's house to make trouble about the betrothal gift? After we get married, will they come to my house every few days to make trouble? Should I beat them in front of my in-laws? Even if my in-laws are kind, wouldn't this make life even more difficult?"
Zheng Qianlan thought about Yu Yan's future life and began to cry again. "Those bastards have caused you so much trouble. Otherwise, I would just kill them all so that you don't have to worry about anything."
Yu Yan often felt that her mother was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. For example, now, she could cry and say such outrageous words. Her mother was really not joking. If Yu Yan just nodded and said that she would be a normal person in the future, her mother would pick up a knife and kill her.
"Mom, do you want me to be called the daughter of a murderer in the future?" Yu Yan said helplessly.
Zheng Qianlan: "That old thing killed so many of your sisters, but she didn't even affect the family's reputation. What right do those idle people have to say that about you?"
Yu Yan: "That's because we didn't have solid evidence to arrest her. When you reported the case, my sisters' bodies were gone. Who knows where that old hag threw them? Besides, who says it didn't have an impact? Anyone with common sense knows that she was so cruel that she killed four granddaughters. How will her grandsons get married in the future? Unless they marry someone from the countryside with a high bride price, who will enter her house?"
Zheng Qianlan had stopped crying at this point. She sniffed and started scolding Yu Yan: "How can a girl like you say these things? What about the husband's family and the in-laws' family? Aren't you ashamed?"
Yu Yan was speechless. Her mother only heard these. Why didn't she say that she was going to kill the whole family? Why didn't she say that she cursed the Yu family to death every day? All she did was find a partner for her every day. She couldn't hear anything else.
What she just said was in vain. Yu Yan felt powerless.
Zheng Qianlan got up, washed her face, and started making pancakes. Making pancakes was her specialty, and even the most picky old woman from the Yu family could not say a word to find fault with her.
After a while, she pointed to a plate of steaming pancakes and said to Yu Yan, "That new comrade over there helped us today. You should give her a plate. We don't want people to think we're heartless. Even though our reputation is so bad, maybe we can just make a good connection."
Yu Yan was unhappy. The two families had been in the same situation before. They kept delivering cakes to others, but were scolded by them. They told them that a girl should be gentler, otherwise no boy would like her.
But they didn't think about the fact that if Yu Yan was soft-hearted, she would be bullied to death like her mother.
Anyway, she felt that the less capable men were, the more they liked women who looked easy to bully. Those men were incompetent and narrow-minded, and couldn't bear to see their wives be more capable than them, so they said they only wanted women who were gentler and more delicate.
Bah, she, Yu Yan, is not a woman defined by men. Even if she has a bad reputation, she still looks down on those self-righteous losers.
Although she was not happy about it, Yu Yan still sent it there. She even put on a smile because Old Lady Xia had just helped her and her daughter. She also silently decided in her heart that even if Old Lady Xia scolded her, she would refrain from scolding her.
Yes, when those two families moved in before, Yu Yan started arguing with them on the spot after being scolded for delivering cakes, and she didn’t tolerate them at all.
She walked to Old Lady Xia's room. The door was open, but she didn't go in casually. She just shouted at the door: "Comrade, is anyone there?"
Qiao Shan came out from the back door. He was working for his newly recognized master. He moved a small table to the area near the back door. As soon as he opened the door, he could see the river. The scenery was particularly beautiful.
"My master will be out soon." Qiao Shan was a little shy. He seldom interacted with girls, and he blushed as soon as he spoke.
