Jiang Chun said with heartache, “Every time there’s an assignment, you start work earlier than us and get off work later than us. Your long working hours off set the low-intensity advantage of this job.”

Yu Bing smiled and patted Jiang Chun’s shoulder. “No matter what, it’s better than farming. There’s a salary.”

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chun remembered something important. “By the way, your mother and Auntie Shi came together!”

Yu Bing choked, scaring Jiang Chun so much that she hurriedly patted Yu Bing’s back.

Yu Bing confirmed with Jiang Chun, “My mother and Yao Nian’s mother?”

!!

Jiang Chun nodded seriously.

Yu Bing was a little puzzled. She didn’t reply to the previous letter, so hadn’t they not contacted each other for a long time? Why did her mother come so suddenly, and with Yao Nian’s mother?

At the same time, Yu Bing also realized that her identity was about to be exposed. Thinking of her mother’s methods, Yu Bing sneered. In any case, she wouldn’t let her mother succeed.

Yu Bing was halfway through her meal when Duan Mei and Shi Lian came over under Yao Nian’s lead.

The courtyard door was open. The three of them saw the dim yellow light in the kitchen and walked in.

When Duan Mei saw the small bowl of hibiscus eggs and two vegetables on the table, she felt a little dissatisfied.

Mr. Yu and Yu Wu were given priority to the eggs at home. She and Yu Pan could only eat them two to three times a week. Yu Bing could actually afford to eat them now. It seemed that this girl had really saved up some money.

Jiang Chun was facing the kitchen door. When she saw them, she greeted them first.

When Yu Bing heard this, she could only put down her bowl and chopsticks and stand up to call out, “Mom, Auntie Shi.”

“Yu Bing, my mother and Auntie Duan are here to discuss our marriage,” Yao Nian said excitedly.

Marriage? Yu Bing frowned. She wondered when Yao Nian had arranged this.

Shi Lian also smiled and said, “You guys are already at the legal age of marriage. It’s time to fulfill the arranged marriage.”

The mother and son wished they could immediately settle this matter so that they could publicize it. This way, they could force the Yu family to agree to this matter for the sake of their reputation.

However, Duan Mei also reacted now. If Yu Bing was just a driver, she definitely would have agreed directly. However, the situation was clearly different now.

Duan Mei didn’t believe that Shi Lian didn’t know that Yu Bing was the factory director before, but she didn’t want to expose her. Now that she had the upper hand, she had to think about how to use Yu Bing to maximize the benefits for the Yu family.

Hence, Duan Mei also smiled and said, “We just arrived. There’s no hurry to discuss this matter. I’ll talk to Yu Bing about it first. As I said, the two of them have to be willing to spend the rest of their lives together.”

When Shi Lian heard this, she gritted her teeth in hatred, but she still didn’t show it on her face. At this point, she could only see what the two of them could come up with first and think of a way to deal with it. “Fair enough. You probably miss your daughter too after she left home for more than half a year. You two can chat first. Yao Nian and I will wait for you two outside.”

Jiang Chun turned around and looked at Yu Bing worriedly before following her out.

After everyone left, Yu Bing continued to sit down and eat.

Only then did Duan Mei have the time to size up Yu Bing. Yu Bing had grown taller and her figure was no longer like that of a primary school student. Even her breasts had started to develop a little. She knew that Yu Bing was lying when she was complaining about struggling to make ends meet in the letter.

Duan Mei felt that Yu Bing was challenging her authority as a mother!

Duan Mei was furious. Seeing that Yu Bing ignored her, she frowned and scolded, “Is this your reaction when you see me?”

Yu Bing looked up tiredly. “Mom, I only ate two buns in the afternoon because I was in a hurry. Driving is very exhausting. I just arrived home to eat. Can you wait for me to finish eating before talking?”

Duan Mei snorted. “You still have the cheek to eat?! Yu Bing, I think you’re getting bolder and bolder after leaving home. Do you think I can’t control you because you’re here? Let me tell you, I gave birth to you, so you have to be controlled by me for the rest of your life!”

Yu Bing ate calmly as she looked up to ask, “Then what do you want to control now?”

Duan Mei limped to the small stool beside Yu Bing and said matter-of-factly, “Take out your salary for the past few months. Do you know how poor our family is now? We can barely eat! Yet you can even eat eggs. After we raised you for so long, you have to think of a way to repay the family now that you’re capable of earning money!”
