344 Earning Quick Money
Yao Nian was looking forward to Yu Yan’s package when she returned from her family visit. However, when he saw that Yu Yan only returned with the luggage she had taken away at that time, he was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Yu Yan had no idea about Yao Nian’s plans. She was thinking about how to get 50 yuan. “Yao Nian, how can I get 50 yuan quickly?”
Yao Nian frowned when he heard Yu Yan’s words. If he knew, he would have kept it to himself and secretly done so long ago. Why would he tell her? “I only know that the fast and efficient way to earn money is written in the criminal code.”
His words were blunt, but it was the truth. For example, petty theft, highway robbery, and even going to the black market to do business were prohibited by the country these days. Ordinary people should just farm and work obediently.
Take business for example. Who didn’t know that people who did business on the black market earned a lot of money? However, there weren’t many people who really dared to do so. Who would get involed in that sort of business if they weren’t forced into a corner?
After all, anyone who was caught would be shoot, so Yu Yan didn’t have the guts to do so. When she heard Yao Nian’s words, Yu Yan knew very well that earning money by herself wouldn’t work.
However, there was definitely no need to think about her adoptive parents. This time, in order to get her living expenses half a month in advance, she had spent a long time persuading her adoptive father to secretly transfer the money in advance.
But who else could she ask?
When Yu Yan took the certificate to the village committee to cancel her leave, she saw Jiang Chun coming out with a letter. Cui Jin’s name immediately appeared in her mind.
Yu Yan had an idea. She could still ask her adoptive brother!
Her adoptive brother treated her well and he didn’t have a girlfriend, so he would definitely be able to fork out 100 yuan.
In order to save time, Yu Yan returned to town and went to the post office to make a call.
Yu Yan was quite lucky. Coincidentally, Yu Xi wasn’t out on a mission. After waiting for more than ten minutes, she received a call back. “Brother, send me 100 yuan!”
Yu Xi had doted on Yu Yan since she was young, so Yu Yan was used to bossing him around. However, when he heard his sister ask for 100 yuan, Yu Xi still hesitated.
He knew that his parents wouldn’t let Yu Yan suffer even if they had to cut off his allowance. “Sister, why do you suddenly want such a large sum of money?”
Yu Yan couldn’t find a suitable excuse, so she didn’t answer directly. “I need it urgently, Brother. It’s very urgent.”
Yu Xi felt that Yu Yan was acting very abnormally. “Do Dad and Mom know?”
Yu Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly explained, “They don’t know. Don’t expose me, or I’ll ignore you for the rest of my life!”
With such a large sum of money, Yu Xi definitely had to ask about it. “Yu Yan, is it inconvenient for you to tell Dad and Mom? You have to explain what the money is for clearly. Otherwise, no matter what you say, I won’t transfer the money to you.”
When Yu Yan heard Yu Xi’s words, she knew that she had to make something up. Hence, she began to think of an excuse. She also had to guarantee that Yu Xi wouldn’t tell her adoptive parents.
“Sigh, there’s a girl in our dormitory who’s seriously ill and needs surgery urgently. I want to help her, but I don’t want my parents to know. You have to help me keep it a secret!”
Yu Xi was puzzled. “Why? You’re being a samaritan, so they’ll praise you!”
Yu Yan couldn’t possibly say that her she was broke because she had deceived her adoptive parents, right? She could only say, “I have my reasons. I’m not going to do anything bad. Just send it to me!”
Yu Xi was the same as Yu Hai and Li Xin. His impression of Yu Yan was still from when she was young. He never expected that she would lie to cheat money one day, so he believed Yu Yan’s excuse.
Yu Xi replied helplessly, “Alright, it’s too late now, so I’ll send it to you tomorrow.”
Only then did Yu Yan smile and say sweetly, “Thank you, Brother!”
After Yu Yan settled the matter, she walked back to the village.
With 100 yuan from her adoptive brother, her debt and her parents’ urgent needs would be resolved. Yu Yan suddenly felt that she had to maintain a good relationship with her adoptive brother. When she really didn’t have money and needed it urgently, she could look for him.
By now, the food factory’s offices in various cities had been operating for a month already and had received orders from everywhere.
