Yu Yan looked down at the chicken soup and tightened her grip on the bowl.

This morning, Yu Yan pretended to be sick and took half a day off. She even went to town to buy some chicken to make a bowl of chicken soup for Duan Mei.

Yu Yan rarely cooked at home. She only needed to tidy up her room, so her culinary skills were not very good. She was worried that the chicken soup wouldn’t taste good, so she didn’t dare to hand it to Duan Mei.

Duan Mei was hesitating about whether to greet Yu Yan or not, but then she remembered that she had already given her second daughter away, and her family had promised not to ask for her back, so she hesitated and planned to leave.

At this moment, Yu Yan turned around nervously and walked towards Duan Mei.

!!

Duan Mei didn’t know how to react and was stunned.

Yu Yan looked at Duan Mei with admiration and said softly, “You must be very tired after traveling from the neighboring province for so long. I made a bowl of chicken soup for you to nourish your body.”

Duan Mei was shocked. She didn’t expect her daughter, whom she hadn’t seen for many years, to know that she was adopted and recognize her the moment she saw her.

She felt a little baffled. She didn’t know what Yu Yan’s intentions were, so she smiled and refused tactfully. “I’m fine. You guys usually do heavy work, so you need more nourishment. Keep this soup for yourself.”

Yu Yan’s intuition told her that her biological mother must have already recognized her.

In Yu Yan’s eyes, Duan Mei’s polite refusal became a display of maternal love. She was even more touched. “This was specifically stewed for you. If you won’t drink it, just pour it away.”

Duan Mei didn’t expect Yu Yan to have such deep feelings for her biological mother, so she took it helplessly and said, “Then you have to drink half of it. Otherwise, I won’t drink it.”

Tears welled up in Yu Yan’s eyes as she smiled and said, “Alright, let’s drink together.”

The two of them gave in to each other. When Yu Yan took a sip, she realized that the chicken soup was a little too light. She said shyly, “It doesn’t taste very good. I didn’t add enough salt.”

Duan Mei brought it over and took a sip as well. Then, she said lovingly, “It’s very delicious. This is the best chicken soup I’ve ever tasted.”

At this moment, Yu Yan felt that she had truly experienced maternal love. Indeed, only a biological mother would tolerate a child’s mistakes, unlike her adoptive parents, who made her reflect on her mistakes. She wasn’t a soldier!

While eating the same bowl of chicken soup, although the two of them didn’t expose each other, their relationship was rapidly improving.

When Duan Mei returned to her room, she was hesitating about whether or not to take the opportunity to acknowledge this daughter. After all, Yu Yan seemed to have good financial conditions and was easy to coax. She was much easier to deal with than Yu Bing.

After talking to her biological mother, Yu Yan felt extremely happy.

While lying in bed and recalling the scene just now, Yu Yan let out a silly laugh. She knew it. How could her mother not acknowledge her?!

Yu Bing must have been sowing discord in that letter. Fortunately, she didn’t fall for it and hate her family. Otherwise, she would have missed out on such a good mother and let Yu Bing enjoy her alone!

Yu Yan was feeling smug about her intelligence.

However, she thought about how her mother hadn’t acknowledged her just now and wondered if it was because she was afraid that Yu Bing would be unhappy!

After all, Yu Bing had lived with her parents for 18 years, while she had been sent away at the age of two. In terms of deep relationships, she was incomparable to Yu Bing.

It was all because of Yu Bing that she was sent away. That was why she only experienced maternal love 18 years later!

The more Yu Yan thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. Then, she couldn’t help but cry again, since she was afraid that her mother would really reject her because of this.

No! She couldn’t let Yu Bing get her way!

Yu Yan reached out and wiped the tears off her face with determination.

Yu Bing didn’t know what Yu Yan was thinking. Otherwise, she would immediately hold a ceremony for the two of them so that Yu Yan could experience the deep ‘love’ the Yu family’s parents displayed when facing their daughter.

On this day, Duan Mei waited until 9 PM, but she didn’t hear the sound of the tractor passing by the dormitory building. She fell asleep while waiting.

The next day, Duan Mei woke up early and prepared to drag Yu Bing to the village chief to talk about her salary. Unfortunately, when she rushed to Yu Bing’s house, she only saw the exhaust of the tractor!
