399 Double Standards
When Yu Bing thought of how she had used the leader’s quote to embolden herself just now, she felt that she was a little childish. If she really encountered martial law-controlled supplies, that little trick of hers would be useless. Those car inspectors would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let anyone off.
Yu Bing touched her nose sheepishly and smiled at Xiao Sheng ingratiatingly. “Fortunately, you thought of this point. I didn’t even think of it. Not only did we almost lose the goods, but we almost got sent to the police station as well.”
Xiao Sheng patted the top of Yu Bing’s head with a smile and his voice was filled with gentleness as he said, “If you can think of everything, why would you still need me?”
This was the first time Zhang Chao had heard Xiao Sheng speak in such a gentle voice. The hot weather couldn’t stop the goosebumps on his arms. Was this still the aloof boss he knew?
Zhang Chao turned his head slightly and glanced at the two people sitting beside him from the corner of his eye. When he saw their lovey-dovey gazes as they looked at each other, he shook his head in disdain.
“Focus on driving.” A low and cold voice sounded from the car.
Zhang Chao immediately turned his head. This was double standards! It was as if he should be under the car, not in it!
The rest of the journey was very smooth. When they returned to Pingjiang County, they brought the flour that Zhang Chao had bought back to the food factory.
Food factory.
Xiao Sheng unloaded the goods with his men while Yu Bing took the money to report to Wen Qin. Before she went on a business trip, she received 1,500 yuan. Xiao He Village and Zhang Chao brought back a total of 5,500 catties of flour, which cost a total of 1,430 yuan. In addition, she paid 7.8 yuan in labor fees. After deducting the fare, food costs, and transportation fee of 50 yuan, in the end, she only returned 8.2 yuan.
Wen Qin took the money with a smile. “Not bad. There’s still some money left!”
When Yu Bing saw the dark circles under Wen Qin’s eyes and the haggardness on her face, she asked, “You didn’t rest well last night?”
When Wen Qin looked up and saw the concern in Yu Bing’s eyes, she replied gently, “Yes, I haven’t been resting well recently.”
As Yu Bing looked at Wen Qin’s bulging stomach, she patted her shoulder and said, “Rest well. If you really can’t handle it, take leave occasionally. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to consider the baby in your stomach. Your health is more important.”
Wen Qin nodded with a smile.
When Yu Bing heard Director Zhao remind her to get the letter, she was a little puzzled. Last time, things had ended on a bad note, but her family still wrote to her?
When Mr. Yu and Duan Mei received the money from Yu Yan, their first reaction was indeed surprise, but then it turned into resentment.
When Duan Mei saw the remittance slip that had been sent with the letter, she said unhappily, “Why didn’t Yu Yan tell us earlier?!”
Mr. Yu also looked a little unhappy. “If I had known that she had money, I wouldn’t have gone to the factory to borrow money two days ago. I’m a small leader after all, so it reflected badly upon me!”
Duan Mei agreed. “The family’s reputation has been ruined because of her! Read this letter.” With that, she handed the letter to Yu Pan.
Yu Pan took the letter aloofly and began to read it. Yu Yan had only sent money this time, and it wasn’t for her. She didn’t get any things, so it was impossible for Yu Pan not to feel resentment.
Yu Pan read the entire letter indifferently.
When Duan Mei heard this, she was so angry that she held her forehead with her hand and said, “It’s over. Yu Bing is really going to marry that country bumpkin!”
Mr. Yu frowned. “She’s relying on the fact that she’s far away from us and we can’t control her.”
When Yu Wu heard this, his first reaction was that he would have a country bumpkin brother-in-law and he couldn’t help but frown. He made up his mind not to let outsiders know about this. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!
He was from the city, so he didn’t want to have anything to do with rural people. If Yu Bing insisted, he could only pretend that he didn’t have this embarrassing sister. At the thought of this, he lowered his head and took another bite of the apple in his hand.
When Yu Pan found out about this, she was in a good mood. Her two sisters were both in the countryside. One of them married into the countryside and became a villager. Even if the other married an intellectual, her household register was still in the countryside.
That meant that among her sisters, she had married the best man. As expected, her life wasn’t something they could compare to!
