220 Their Own Thoughts
When Duan Mei heard this, she glared at Yu Pan. Then, she hurriedly looked at Mr. Yu as she explained guiltily, “If I bring jam to them, they’ll think that our family is doing well. Wouldn’t this give our Yu family pride? I don’t want to be inferior to my sister and let those gossipy women say that you’re inferior to my brother-in-law.”
Only then did Mr. Yu relent. Yu Pan secretly rolled her eyes. It had been quite a while since her mother had been subsidizing her maiden family behind her father’s back. However, she didn’t want to be the bad guy who revealed it. She was going to marry out of the family anyway, so if she offended her mother, her dowry might get deducted. ...
Yu Pan continued to read the letter. “I caught a cold recently and had a fever that reached 41 degrees. When I was delirious, I thought I would never see you guys again in my life. Fortunately, I was discovered in time and sent to the infirmary for treatment. Don’t worry. I’ve already recovered. Dad, Mom, I want to see you guys and my siblings. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to see what my family looks like. Sincerely yours, Yu Yan.”
When the family of four sitting in the living room heard Yu Yan say that she had recovered, they automatically chose to skip the first half and discuss the second half.
Yu Bing’s fever had reached 42 degrees once, but Duan Mei and Mr. Yu ignored her after feeding her two tablets of fever-reducing medicine. Didn’t Yu Bing survive?
Yu Wu was quite curious about what his second sister looked like. After all, he had already eaten what she had bought before he even saw her. “Dad, Mom, if she wants to come, let her come.”
Duan Mei said in frustration, “How can it be that easy? Yao Nian’s mother was the one who helped find the adopter. If they find out that we’ve been secretly interacting with Yu Yan, what will happen to me and your father’s reputation in the factory?”
Yu Pan had a good impression of Yu Yan. After all, Yu Pan had only mentioned it casually, but she didn’t expect Yu Yan to be so considerate. From this, Yu Pan could tell that the family who adopted Yu Yan was very well-off. She couldn’t help but think of ways to extract more benefits.
Yu Pan was 23 years old this year. If nothing unexpected happened between her and her current boyfriend, she would probably meet his parents at the end of the year and start discussing marriage.
The more Yu Pan thought about it, the more she felt that having a rich sister help gather dowry for her was a good idea. Therefore, she had to meet Yu Yan more often and build a good relationship with her. “Dad, Mom, I agree to let Yu Yan come and reunite our family. There’s a small chance of her bumping into Auntie Shi and Uncle Yao.”
Duan Mei and her husband exchanged looks. They were also conflicted. Their second daughter was well-off, so it would definitely be beneficial for them to build a good relationship with her, but…
Yu Pan knew that if she didn’t dispel her parents’ worries, they would definitely reject Yu Yan. Hence, she began to think about a plan. At bedtime, she really thought of a way. She ran into her parents’ room and said excitedly, “Dad, Mom, I’ve thought of a way!”
On the third day after receiving the letter, Yu Hai and Li Xin arrived at the Fengtou Mountain Commune with their luggage.
Because it wasn’t their day off, there was no ox cart to pick them up. The couple could only ask for directions along the way.
Yu Hai looked at his wife, who was panting with every step, and said worriedly, “Li Xin, give me the things in your hand. You’re frail to begin with, so why did you bring so many things?!”
Li Xin could only hand the food in her hand to her husband. Then, she shook her head and said with a smile, “Back then, I went to the battlefield too. If I hadn’t injured my body and got transferred to the logistics department, I would still be able to fight enemies now.”
Yu Hai smiled helplessly and said, “You’re too headstrong. If you had a softer personality, Yu Yan wouldn’t be so afraid of you.”
Li Xin smiled and rolled her eyes at her husband. “It’s fine as long as we have a benevolent father like you at home. If I hadn’t been stricter, would you have been able to tame our boy? Only after he grew older did he finally begin to mature. Yu Yan is a girl. I’m already very lax with her.”
Yu Hai looked at his wife dotingly as he said, “Yes, yes, yes. You’ve indeed shown your gentlest side to Yu Yan. It’s also because Yu Yan is stubborn and in some aspects, she’s even more difficult to deal with than her brother.”
When Li Xin heard this, she felt a little proud and couldn’t help but retort, “So what if Yu Yan is stubborn? I’m stubborn too. I raised her after all, so she’s like me!”
As the couple chatted with laughter as they walked, they no longer felt that the journey was long and boring.
