378 Bad Upbringing
Yu Yan and Madam Sun had been locked in the same room for the past few days. Over the past few days, the two of them had lost weight from hunger.
The food in the detention center was provided for free, so it was naturally not that good. For every three meals a day, there were two mixed-grain cornbreads and a small plate of pickled vegetables. This amount of food was enough to keep people full if they didn’t exercise. However, because of Xiao Sheng’s special instructions, all the food for the two of them was halved.
To Madam Sun, who was from a poor family, this sort of life wasn’t much worse than being at home. Moreover, she could lie down until mealtime and eat directly. Therefore, although Madam Sun barely had enough to eat every day, she was still able to adapt.
However, to Yu Yan, these days were torture. For as long as she could remember, she had never experienced stomach cramps from hunger. Not only did she often buy meat to nourish herself, but she also had all kinds of snacks in her room. Even if she had to save money to return to her biological parents’ house a while ago, she could still eat one or two snacks every three to five days to satisfy her cravings.
Moreover, Madam Sun felt that Yu Yan had caused her to be sent to the police station, so she scolded Yu Yan every day after eating. She cursed endlessly, making Yu Yan so angry that she fought with her. In the end, their dinner was canceled that day.
Their stomachs took turns growling that night. After this time’s punishment, the two of them didn’t dare to fight anymore and started shouting at each other every day instead.
The morning Yu Yan went out, she was in an especially good mood. Madam Sun was naturally unhappy when she saw this, so she started to cause trouble again. “Little slut! So what if you went out earlier than me? Your record can’t be cleared!”
When Yu Yan heard this, she felt stifled. Madam Sun had touched a sore spot. Over the past few days, she had been so focused on competing with Madam Sun that she had neglected this important matter.
The intellectual’s file was in the village committee, and as the captain, Yu Bing had the right to comment on the file record. If it were anyone else, she could have bribed them with money, but Yu Bing…
Yu Yan knew that the two of them were already enemies, so it was impossible for Yu Bing to erase her record.
Madam Sun was lying on the bed with her legs crossed. When she saw Yu Yan’s gloomy expression, she felt satisfied and even felt that the cornbread in her mouth was no longer as stale as before.
Yu Yan naturally couldn’t stand Madam Sun’s smug expression and she provoked, “Madam Sun, don’t be smug. Do you think you can get the money and grandson you want? Wen Qin has Yu Bing’s help, so don’t even think about it!”
“You’ve seen Yu Bing’s methods before. From our current situation, you can tell how vicious she is. Otherwise, there are many things like this in the village, so if they wanted to arrest people, quite a few families would have been arrested!”
When Yu Yan saw Madam Sun’s disappearing smile, she continued proudly, “Moreover, Yu Bing is the factory director. Compared to ordinary people like us, she’s a powerful person in the village.”
Seeing that Madam Sun pricking up her ears to listen, Yu Yan felt smug. She pretended to lament, “A woman like her needs a strong man to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, how could a woman like her have so much power? Speaking of which, whoever marries her will really gain both money and manpower.”
When Madam Sun heard Yu Yan’s words, she came up with some new ideas. She no longer had the mood to care about Yu Yan’s provocation. Instead, she began to scheme in the corner.
Seeing this, Yu Yan revealed a meaningful smile. If she suffered, Yu Bing shouldn’t think about having it easy either!
After Yu Yan completed the procedures and left the police station, she saw that Yao Nian had come to pick her up. She finally felt better.
Yao Nian had already adjusted his mentality. When he saw Yu Yan, he hurriedly went forward and said with a pained expression, “You’ve lost weight. Did you not eat well inside?”
When Yu Yan heard Yao Nian’s concerned words, she suddenly felt sad and her eyes turned red. Thinking that her adoptive parents would definitely ignore her, and her biological parents were far away and couldn’t help her, she felt sad. She couldn’t help but cry as she complained to Yao Nian about the grievances she had suffered inside.
Yao Nian’s patience when listening to her and the fact that he had come to pick her up made Yu Yan’s impression of Yao Nian improve greatly.
