323 Hurry Up and Scram
Duan Mei added, “You have to find someone capable. Good looks are useless! The key is that he has two burdens! Hurry up and give up on him. We will arrange your marriage. We won’t harm you.”
Yu Pan was watching the show from the side. In her eyes, it was the same whether Yu Bing married Xiao Sheng or Yao Nian, since she still had to stay in the countryside. However, if she married Yao Nian, her family could get the betrothal money and she could get some from her mother as her dowry! ...
Yu Bing remained silent with her head lowered, making it impossible to see her expression.
Mr. Yu and Duan Mei didn’t like Yu Bing’s current cheerfulness and confidence, because what they needed wasn’t an independent Yu Bing, but an obedient Yu Bing who only knew how to work for the family.
After Yu Wu realized that he couldn’t get any other food from Yu Bing, he stopped paying attention to what was being discussed at home and continued to read his novel. Only when he was a little hungry did he shout at Duan Mei, “Mom! Hurry up and cook. I’m starving!”
Duan Mei turned around and looked at Yu Wu with a smile as she comforted him. “I’ll go cook right away. Eat a few pastries to fill your stomach first.”
With that, she turned around and saw that Yu Pan had already eaten a few pieces. She slapped Yu Pan hard and rared, “How dare you?! You ate so much at once! Your brother hasn’t eaten any yet.”
With that, Duan Mei immediately wrapped the mung bean cake and took it back to her room.
Yu Pan shook her head proudly. Although it was the cheapest pastry sold in the shop, it was still quite delicious. She had eaten quite a few pieces just now, so this slap was worth it.
When Yu Bing saw this familiar scene, she sneered.
It was time to make her ultimate move. She didn’t want to stay in such a scheming family for another second.
“Mom, I’m not staying at the guest house anymore, but at home instead. Remember to cook my portion for all three meals. I’m busy, but I’ll be back for meals.”
Duan Mei came out of the room and sized up Yu Bing. As she entered the kitchen, she said, “I can cook your share, but pay me money and food stamps.”
Yu Bing deliberately walked to the door of the house and looked at Duan Mei helplessly as she said loudly, “Mom, I really don’t have money. I’ve already spent most of it at the countryside to see the doctor and nourish my body. If it weren’t for those stamps and money, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the factory.”
“I only have two food stamps worth three taels left. I still have one yuan left for the bus ticket to inspect the market. Dad, Mom, I can only rely on my family now. I won’t be staying for long, just a week.”
Duan Mei, who was washing the rice, paused. Then, she turned around and glared at her as she shouted agitatedly, “A week?! If you don’t have money and stamps, don’t even think about staying for a single day. You’re on a business trip for the factory, so let them take care of you!”
Duan Mei felt that it was already good enough for her to let Yu Bing go home and save money on the guest house fees. Morever, Yu Bing had to give her money and stamps for food, and she had to let Yu Bing take on all the housework at home. This way, she could relax for a few days. Unexpectedly, this wretched girl wasn’t willing to pay at all.
The more Duan Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. “Get lost! Think of a way yourself. Dream on!”
Yu Bing replied loudly, “Mom, when our factory earns money, I’ll apply for money and send it back to you!”
Mr. Yu watched as the two of them spoke louder and louder. The soundproofing of the building wasn’t good, so he was afraid that others would find out that his family was too stingy to give food to his daughter and that they would say that they were abusing Yu Bing, so he went forward and whispered, “Be quiet! Aren’t you afraid that others will know what our family is saying?”
Duan Mei was about to say something when she was stopped by Mr. Yu. She couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath anymore, so she shouted at Yu Bing angrily in a low voice, “Get lost!”
Yu Bing lowered her head and raised her hand to wipe her nonexistent tears. Then, she went to the sofa to get her luggage. After opening the door and walking out, she turned around reluctantly and said, “Mom, I’ll really return the money and stamps to you. If you let me out now, I’ll starve.”
Some families on the same floor were sitting at their door while picking vegetables and chatting. When they heard the commotion, they pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the Yu family’s conversation.
Now that they saw Yu Bing leave the house with her luggage, they felt even more interested.
When Mr. Yu saw Yu Bing like this, he stopped his wife, who wanted to scold Yu Bing again. Just as he was thinking about how to explain in order to prevent the neighbors from thinking that he had chased Yu Bing away, he saw Yu Bing slam the door shut with a bang. He was at a loss for words.
