Chapter 506: Just average

Wei Nan always makes things difficult for others. He is good at calculating. As long as he sets his sights on someone, few people can escape from him.

Jiang Yu is the first one.

Seeing the undisguised malice on her face, Wei Nan actually felt timid.

Realizing this, he suddenly felt ridiculous.

He was actually afraid of a female comrade who was barely in her early twenties.

Ridiculous.

Wei Nan actually laughed.

"Jiang Yu, we don't have to do this. I don't intend to be your enemy. To be honest."

Jiang Yu nodded and looked at him very sincerely: "I believe you, and you don't have the ability to be my enemy. Doesn't Deputy Section Chief Wei ever look in the mirror? I have evaluated your overall quality and it's just average."

Wei Nan: "..."

No man can accept others describing him as "average". These two words are no different from slapping him in the face.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"You are very hostile to me. It seems that we can't be friends."

Jiang Yu touched his chin, "I never thought of being friends with you."

Wei Nan gritted his teeth. Jiang Yu was really damn troublesome.

He walked out of the office and heard -

Cai Xiaole: "Brother Wu, what do you think of this picture?"

Wu Jinshun: "It's just average."

It's just average... It's just average...

Wei Nan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and cursed really badly.

Jiang Yu began to resume his previous rhythm and get off work on time.

Just as he walked to the factory gate, he heard the guard say: "Chief Jiang, a young comrade is looking for you. He has been waiting for you all morning."

Jiang Yu looked over in surprise. It turned out to be Ding He.

"Why are you here?"

Ding He walked towards her, his thin face looking miserable.

"Sister Jiang Yu, can I follow you?"

Jiang Yu frowned, "The Public Security Bureau said they will place you, you just need to listen to them."

Ding He shook her head, "They want to give me away, I don't want to go."

Jiang Yu suddenly realized that Ding He was underage and it was impossible for her to stay in the Public Security Bureau forever. Someone had to raise her.

In these days of lack of food and clothing, it was good enough that someone was willing to raise her.

"Why don't you want to go?"

Ding He lowered her head, "I'm scared."

"Those are police officers, they won't hurt you. Since you have forgotten what happened in southern Henan, then start well and live a new life."

Jiang Yu really didn't plan to adopt her.

Not to mention that there was no room for her at home, even if she could, she didn't have that much sympathy.

"Ding He, it's not convenient for my family to adopt you."

Ding He pouted, "But they all say you are great, and you have money, so you can definitely support me. I don't eat a lot, and I can work. Please adopt me and give me food to eat."

Jiang Yu shook her head, "I can't agree to you. Did you run away from the Public Security Bureau? I will send you back."

Ding He avoided her hand and said stubbornly, "I won't go back. I don't like them to throw me out casually. I don't know them and don't want to live in their house."

Jiang Yu felt difficult with her for the first time, "Then what do you want to do, live on the streets?"

Ding He looked at her stubbornly.

"You treat that Yu Lan better than me."

Jiang Yu smiled, "How am I good to her? She remembers where her home is, and I send her home, so I am good to her? Ding He, it's not that I don't care about you. If you remember where your home is, I will send you home." It

was the first time she heard of such a situation. She couldn't remember anything except her own name.

Look at Ding He's attitude, and she still wants to rely on her.

"If you don't want to go back to the Public Security Bureau, then stay outside by yourself. I won't care about you."

Ding He bit her lip and lowered her head.

She thought that Jiang Yu would soften his heart when he saw her.

But contrary to her wishes, she didn't.

Ding He looked at the tips of her feet, grinding her teeth, and her fluttering eyelashes concealed the sinisterness in her eyes.

She finally came to the capital, and she wanted to live a better life. What's wrong with her?

"Then may I ask... can you send me to Yu Lan's home? Apart from you two, I only know her. Can I be with her?"

Jiang Yu was stunned. "Yu Lan?"

She pursed her lips. "Ding He, I'm not sure if Yu Lan has the energy to take care of you."

"I'm not a child. I can take care of myself. The Public Security Bureau will place me there and give me a subsidy. I'm not eating and drinking for free."

She had already taken a step back. Jiang Yu should agree, she thought.

Jiang Yu said, "I can't agree to you on behalf of Yu Lan. I have to ask her opinion first."

Ding He's shoulders slumped. "I know."

Jiang Yu raised his hand and patted her shoulder. "Then you go back first. If Yu Lan agrees, I'll tell you."

"Okay."

Ding He was about to turn around when she saw Lan Raoping coming out.

"Jiang Yu." Lan Raoping called out.

Ding He stopped and didn't rush to leave.

As she approached, Lan Raoping also saw her, her eyes fell on her pitiful little face, and she paused.

"This child is..."

Jiang Yu said, "She followed us back from southern Henan, and was frightened. She can't remember anything except her name."

Lan Raoping suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, it's really pitiful."

Ding He's age made her think of her daughter.

Her daughter didn't know where she was suffering at this time.

Thinking of this, Lan Raoping's heart softened a lot.

"You have lost your memory, what should we do now?"

Ding He shook her head, "I don't know either."

Jiang Yu explained: "The Public Security Bureau will place her, but she doesn't know those people and is a little scared, so she ran to me."

Lan Raoping nodded,

feeling a little distressed. "It's normal for a child of this age to be scared without her family and having lost her memory."

Jiang Yu understood Lan Raoping's soft heart. Her daughter was her soft spot. Whenever she saw a child of the same age, she would inevitably empathize with her.

"Ding He, you go back first."

Ding He said, and left in a daze.

Lan Raoping looked at her figure and sighed again and again.

"This child..."

It's so pitiful.

She couldn't help but wonder if her daughter would also encounter such a thing and suffer in a place she didn't know.

"Jiang Yu, if there is no one to take care of her, why not let her live in my house temporarily? I live alone anyway, so it's a good opportunity for her to keep me company."

Lan Raoping had no resistance to this girl of her age, and her heart was soft and sympathetic.

Jiang Yu said helplessly: "She has a place to go. I will go and ask her later. If Yu Lan can take care of her, let Yu Lan come."

"Okay."

Lan Raoping did not continue the topic and turned to talk about business with her.

When Jiang Yu finished work in the afternoon, she thought that she had nothing to do, so it would be okay to go and see Yu Lan.

Unexpectedly, before she entered the door, she heard a strange voice coming from inside.

"What's the point of working harder? I can do all these things. If she doesn't eat or drink improperly, she can go out and earn some money."

"The family depends on Yu Qin alone, and now there is one more mouth to feed. Life is tight and boring."

"When I married Yu Qin, I didn't say I had to support my sister-in-law."

Every family has its own problems, and Jiang Yu can't use the same standard for everyone.

She didn't comment on what Yu's wife said, but she strongly disagreed in her heart.

"Is Yu Lan here?" She knocked on the door.

Aunt Jin quickly pulled Yu's wife's arm, "Then who... Jiang Yu is here." Yu

's wife sneered, "So what if he's here."

Jiang Yu looked at Yu Lan and cared about her, but that was all.

Yu Lan's pockets were empty and she didn't see any help from them.

Aunt Jin had no choice but to stand up and say hello.

"Yes, it's in the house."

Jiang Yu nodded and went directly into the house to find Yu Lan.

Sister-in-law Yu was even more dissatisfied, "Look at how she looks, she looks more like a master than me."

"Stop saying a few words. I know you are having a hard time, but your sister-in-law has suffered so many things in the past, so just let her go."

"Huh!"

Jiang Yu didn't even enter the house when she sent Yu Lan home that day. She didn't know what the Yu family's situation was like.

When I walked in, I realized how crowded the room was.

The main room has just enough space to put down the dining table, and if there are two more people standing there, it's too crowded even if you turn around.

There are only two rooms in the Yu family, one for Yu's father and Yu's mother, and one for Yu Qin's family of four.

The room was only big enough to fit a kang, and there was no room for anything else.

"Sister Yu Lan." Jiang Yu called out.

Yu Lan did not come out of the room, but crawled out of the earthquake shelter at the door.

Jiang Yu was surprised, "You sleep here?"

Yu Lan rubbed her hands awkwardly and smiled.

"It's nice to sleep here."

She slept on the floor in the main room the night she first came, but because she tripped Sister-in-law Yu at night, she moved to the earthquake shelter by herself.

But she was already very satisfied with this environment.

At least it was better than before.

Sister-in-law Yu cursed at her at home all day, but she didn't ask her to leave.

Yu Lan knew that the resentment in her heart was not all directed at her, but mostly came from her helplessness in life.

Yu Qin is the only one who works in the family. The whole family depends on him and they wish they could spend every penny.

Yu Dasao complains because they are so short of money and have to worry about the daily necessities.

Seeing Jiang Yu's complicated expression, Yu Dasao immediately yelled: "What's wrong with sleeping here? We didn't treat her badly. She wanted to sleep here."

Yu Lan nodded repeatedly, "I wanted to sleep here by myself."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips. With the current situation of the Yu family, she didn't have the nerve to mention Ding He again.

"Jiang Yu, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yu

shook his head, "No, I just came to see you."

Yu Lan didn't believe it. If she had nothing to do, why would she come here?

"If you have something to say, just say it. If there is anything I can help you with, just speak up."

Sister Yu sneered, "Who are you? He is a leader in the factory. He needs your help?"

Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment before telling her about Ding He.

"The Public Security Bureau arranged a place for her, but she didn't want to go. She said she wanted to... follow you."

Sister Yu was furious when she heard

this. "What are you talking about? With our family conditions, it's hard enough to raise a burden. You want to send another one over. We can't live like this! Yu Lan, if you dare to agree to this, I will divorce your eldest brother!"

Yu Lan smiled bitterly. She wouldn't agree even if Sister Yu said nothing.

"Jiang Yu, you have seen the current situation of my family. It is not suitable to raise another child."

Not to mention Ding He, she felt an indescribable disgust in her heart.

She would not contact him if she could. She did not want to bring trouble home.

Jiang Yu nodded, "I understand. There is one more thing..."

"Please stop talking, there is not a word you say that I like to hear! You can't see what's going on in my family, right? I can't help you much!" Yu Dasao was so excited that she pushed Jiang Yu out.

Jiang Yu staggered after being pushed by her, but fortunately Yu Lan supported him.

Yu Lan brushed away Yu Dasao's arm, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Yu Dasao rolled up her sleeves, her face became fierce, and she looked like she was going to fight.

"What am I doing? You still think she is a good person, don't you see that she wants to cheat you? She is rich and powerful, but she didn't help you, but only caused trouble for our family. You should avoid such people in the future. She sold you out, and you are counting money for her!"

Jiang Yu ignored her and turned to look at Yu Lan.

"Why don't we go out and talk."

Yu Lan nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Yu left first, Yu Lan turned around and followed, but was stopped by Yu's sister-in-law.

"Are you stupid? I told her that she was up to no good, but you still went!"

Yu Lan said coldly, "I only know that I can go home, thanks to Jiang Yu. She can't hurt me, sister-in-law, you are too suspicious."

Yu's sister-in-law gritted her teeth, "Go, go, I want to see what good things she has to say to you!"

Yu Lan ignored her sarcasm and walked out.

When there was no one around, Jiang Yu mentioned work to her.

Yu Lan was silent for a long time.

She knew Jiang Yu's identity, but she had never wanted anything from Jiang Yu from the beginning.

What she didn't expect was that Jiang Yu would take the initiative to help her.

"Why? I'm from North City, and I know how hard it is to get a job. We just met by chance, and you've done your best to save me."

Jiang Yu's favor was so great that Yu Lan was terrified.

"I can't explain it, I just wanted to help you. Maybe a job is as big as the sky for you, but for me, it's really just a piece of cake."

She just mentioned it to Director Zheng, and he agreed, that's all.

Yu Lan lowered her head and covered her mouth.

She hadn't felt such warmth from a stranger for a long time.

"Thank you, Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, and said softly: "You're welcome. If you have the ability in the future, you can lend a hand to people who are as confused and helpless as you are now. It's already very difficult for female comrades to live, you have to be stronger."

Yu Lan burst into tears, and she couldn't say anything except nodding.

After Jiang Yu left, she stood there for a long time, calming down.

After a long while, she wiped her tears and returned to the compound.

Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Yu's wife couldn't help but sneer at her again.

But now Yu Lan didn't have the energy to argue with her.

Until-

"Your eldest brother has a friend whose wife died last year. She has two children who are about the same age as your nephew."

Yu Lan was stunned, as if she didn't understand why she brought up this matter.

Sister-in-law Yu continued, "You are in this situation now. Although you have never been married, being married is... similar to a second marriage. Your elder brother's friend is not bad, so it's not a disgrace to you."

Yu Lan's face turned pale and her lips trembled.

For the first time, she felt that the words of close people were the most hurtful.

"No, I already have a place to go. I don't need to worry about me."

Sister-in-law Yu curled her lips, "Don't put on that face, as if we are treating you unfairly. You know the situation in our family, and we can't afford to support you. If you don't get married, it's not good for you to stay at home all the time."

Yu Lan rubbed her eyes, "I know what sister-in-law means, I have my own plans."
