219 Serious Illness
The sales department was changed to the business department, which Feng Cai was in charge of. The sales and procurement of the factory were handled by this department.
The last position to be filled was the production director. The factory’s leaders unanimously agreed that Jiang Chun would be in charge of following up on the production progress and arranging the production plan for the factory’s orders.
There were two production rooms in the factory now. Yu Bing called the factory that made jam and snacks Production Room 1, and the newly built factory for condiments and meat products Production Room 2.
Because there was only an order for red oil bean paste for Room 2 and no one needed to guard it during the marination period, all the workers in Room 2 were temporarily transferred to Room 1 to help during this period.
Among the ten new employees, eight belonged to Production Room 1. Three of them were chefs, and the five ordinary workers were part of the mobile team. According to protocol, they had to choose a team leader to manage the team.
One of the remaining two new employees obtained a cashier post, while the other joined the mobile team of Production Room 1.
Yu Bing also changed the employee management system according to the actual situation in the factory to prevent people from slacking off. On first strike, money would be deducted, and on third strike, they would be fired.
Among the employees recruited for this round, Xu Ling had also applied successfully, so Yu Yan had been in a very bad mood recently, especially since she couldn’t schedule her classes either. After that night, their relationship worsened even more. Even if she was willing to put down her pride, Yu Yan knew that it was impossible for her to enter the factory.
Seeing how happy Xu Ling was in the dormitory all day, Yu Yan felt even more resentful.
However, when she thought about how she had gone against her adoptive parents’ wishes in order to come to the village and even swore that she didn’t need their help, Yu Yan knew that it was useless even if she gave in now.
Yu Yan knew her adoptive mother’s personality very well. She hated spineless people the most. If she really went back on her word and said that she couldn’t stand the hardship and wanted to go back, her adoptive mother wouldn’t help her!
It was because she wasn’t her biological daughter, so her adoptive mother didn’t care about her!
The more Yu Yan thought about it, the angrier she became. Her biological parents didn’t have connections, but her adoptive parents did. However, her adoptive parents wouldn’t help her.
At the thought of this, Yu Yan hurriedly took out a letter and prepared to write to Duan Mei.
Ever since they parted last time, the two of them had only sent each other a letter once.
The last time her sister sent a letter, she mentioned that the jam was delicious. Yu Yan planned to buy six bottles from the factory when she sent the letter this time. Although the factory didn’t sell the jam to individuals, they would still give special treatment to the people in their own village.
As usual, she asked about her family’s health and work situation first. This was because Yu Yan was completely unaware of her biological parents’ situation. She yearned for Duan Mei and her sister to write more about her family’s matters in the letter.
Yu Yan also mentioned her own recent developments. She felt that this way, she would become closer to her family. At the end of the letter, she suggested going back to visit her family.
After writing this letter, she continued to write another one. This was for her adoptive parents. She couldn’t visit her biological family empty-handed, so she had to get more money from her adoptive parents first.
After Yu Yan thought about it for a long time, she decided to ask for money on the grounds that she was seriously ill. She did have a high fever of 41 degrees last time. If Yao Nian had not discovered her in time, there was no telling what might have happened. At the thought of this, Yu Yan was extremely determined.
After writing the letter, Yu Yan couldn’t help but smile at the thought of returning to her true home and seeing her family, whom she had not seen for many years. Her originally depressed mood also improved. Since Yu Bing didn’t know how lucky she was, she couldn’t blame her for snatching her parents back!
A week later, Yu Yan’s adoptive parents, Yu Hai and Li Xin, received the letter. When they saw that Yu Yan was ‘seriously ill’, the two of them became as anxious as cats on a hot tin roof. One packed their luggage, while the other went to apply for leave and buy train tickets.
On the other side, the Yu family also received Yu Yan’s letter and the jam she had specifically bought.
Because Yu Yan had sent a lot of jam, Yu Pan could finally dig a full spoonful openly this time. After adding water to it, she sat on the sofa with Yu Wu and drank it slowly. “Our second sister is not bad. She’s much more generous than Yu Bing!”
Duan Mei looked at the jam that was missing a spoonful with heartache. “Let me tell you, you can only dig a full spoonful this time. We have to save the rest! Your cousin’s birthday is next month, so we have to take two bottles to your uncle’s house.”
Yu Pan complained indignantly, “Why should I save it? If I wasn’t smart enough to mention it at the end of the letter, these six bottles of jam wouldn’t have been sent over! All you do is send our things to our uncle’s house!”
