Yu Bing was usually busy and walked very quickly, so when everyone saw her occasionally, they would only greet her briefly. This time, when they stopped her, all of them wished they could express how diligent and studious they were.
After Yu Bing finally sent them away, she continued walking forward slowly.
Because of the farming break, many people strolled around and the village was much livelier than usual.
On the way to work at the factory, many villagers greeted Yu Bing enthusiastically. Although they didn’t stop her or say anything else, everyone’s gazes were so fervent that Yu Bing was a little afraid. She felt that they looked at her as if they had seen gold and were about to pounce on her.

“Yu Bing is really impressive. I knew that she was capable, but I didn’t expect her factory to be even more impressive than the food factory that has been open for two years in the neighboring county.”
“Isn’t that so? My niece-in-law works there. Now, there aren’t as many workers in that factory as there are in her factory. In the past, she always showed off her identity as a worker in front of me and acted so condescending. Now, my daughter has also entered the factory and her treatment is better than my niece-in-law’s! I’ll teach her a lesson when I return to my parents’ house this year!”
“Our village is one of the poorest in the commune. It makes me feel embarrassed every year when I go back to my parents’ house and see my sisters. This year, when I went to town and mentioned I’m from the He Mountain Village, they immediately mentioned the name of our food factory. How impressive!”
“So in my opinion, it’s very useful for girls to study! I’m forcing my daughter to go to night school every day now. If she can enter the factory one day and become a worker, she can find a good husband in the future.”
“Our village is indeed different now. In the past, every time it was the new year, the children would be happy, but we adults would be worried sick. Now, there’s hope. By the way, I heard that yesterday, the factory mentioned that the factory’s debt had been paid off!”
“When my daughter came home yesterday, she also said that she probably will get some dividends this year.”
“Oh my god! That’s great. Debt is really stressful. No matter how much the dividends are, they represent hope! To be honest, if it weren’t for Yu Bing, we might still be the poorest village.”
The dozen or so people gathered around and chatted. Other than voicing their high hopes for the future, they also praised Bing.
All of this was heard by Yao Nian and Yu Yan, who were passing by. Yu Yan’s expression was very ugly, and Yao Nian’s expression wasn’t any better.
As long as Yu Bing was doing well, Yu Yan would be displeased.
Yao Nian felt that if only Yu Bing and Yu Yan’s advantages could be combined!
Yu Yan had a wealthy family, but she wasn’t capable and relied on her family to support her.
Yao Nian couldn’t help but beat around the bush a few times to test her willingness to return to the city. However, no matter what, Yu Yan refused to go back. Thinking that she could only help him a little in terms of giving him food, Yao Nian felt a little unhappy.
Yu Bing’s family wasn’t wealthy, but she was capable and had a good reputation in the village. Who wouldn’t greet her when they saw her?
Yao Nian felt that if he could become Yu Bing’s man, he would definitely be respected and fawned over by everyone in the village!
The more Yao Nian thought about it, the more he felt that it was a pity that the two of them couldn’t become one. He also felt a little disdain for Yu Yan.
When Yu Yan sensed that Yao Nian was a little down, her already unhappy expression darkened. “What? Do you regret not being with Yu Bing?”
Hearing Yu Yan’s sarcastic tone, Yao Nian looked up at Yu Yan and immediately revealed a fawning expression.
In this situation, the first thing he had to do was appease Yu Yan. As long as Yu Yan could let him return to the city, everything else could be pushed back. The desire of returning to the city overcame everything once again.
Yao Nian coaxed Yu Yan softly, “What are you talking about? You clearly know that I never liked her. In the past, I was with her because of my sense of duty. After I got together with you, did I even look at her?”
After Yao Nian kept expressing his loyalty, he finally appeased Yu Yan half an hour later.
Yao Nian finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had heard that a new movie was being released in the town’s cinema. Today, he had to think of a way to do something to Yu Yan so that the two of them could get closer.
