Duan Mei had mixed feelings. Yu Bing was successful now, but she couldn’t get any benefits. This glory had nothing to do with her! However, if she married Yu Bing off just like that, the betrothal gift she got back definitely wouldn’t be high. She felt very conflicted.

Duan Mei lowered her eyes and thought for a long time. In the end, she decided not to rush it. She looked at Shi Lian and smiled. “Yu Bing hid so many things from the family. I have to go home and tell my husband first. As for the marriage proposal, we’ll talk about it when we return to the city. Since we live upstairs and downstairs from each other, it’s very convenient to discuss it.”

Hearing this, Shi Lian could only give up, but she was still confident in her plan.

In fact, when Shi Lian found out that the factory was in debt and Yu Bing didn’t have a salary, she wanted to give up! She had the same worry as Duan Mei. She was afraid that the factory would close down before it could even finish paying off its debt. Then, all her efforts would go down the drain!

However, later, Yao Nian told her in private that the village’s industry was a pilot project chosen by the county head, so she continued to follow the original plan. The county head’s attention meant special treatment. This factory wouldn’t close down that easily!

!!

However, Duan Mei thought that she was superior to the villagers since she was from the city. She was unwilling to go to the village to chat with people, so she saw Yu Yan the most.

However, Yu Yan despised Yu Bing. How could she take the initiative to mention the project Yu Bing was in charge of? That was why Duan Mei didn’t know anything and was taken advantage of by Shi Lian.

At 6:30 PM, Yu Bing still hadn’t arrived home, but Jiang Chun, who was in the small courtyard, welcomed two guests.

“Woof woof.” Barking came from the courtyard.

Yu Bing and Jiang Chun had named the puppy Little Tiger because they hoped that it could be as majestic as a tiger. Little Tiger lived up to its name. As long as anyone stepped into the courtyard, other than Xiao Sheng, they would roar to show off regardless of whether the guest was friend or foe!

Jiang Chun had just finished eating when she heard the barking and immediately walked to the courtyard.

“Song Li, Sister Yun!” Jiang Chun greeted the two of them with a smile.

Then, she turned to look at Little Tiger. “Little Tiger, they’re one of us. You’re not allowed to be mean to them.”

Jiang Chun had often heard Yu Bing mention the two of them in the past. Later on, on their day off, they had even met them twice when they went to the city to buy things. They had also gone to a restaurant for a meal together, so they knew each other.

Wang Yun smiled and said, “Jiang Chun, I’ve never been to your place before, so I came to take a look today.” As she spoke, she handed over some fruits as a gift.

“Welcome! Why did you bring gifts? Don’t buy them next time!” Jiang Chun took the gifts and welcomed the two of them to the living room before handing over two cups of honey water.

When Song Li saw that Jiang Chun was alone, she asked and found out that Yu Bing had yet to return from her assignment. Song Li could only tell Wang Yun the purpose of this trip and ask Jiang Chun to pass on the message. She waited for a while, but no one returned, so she rode back.

When Yu Bing returned home at nine o’clock in the evening, Jiang Chun heard the sound of a car from afar, so she opened the door.

After Yu Bing entered the kitchen to eat, Jiang Chun immediately told her about Wang Yun and Song Li’s visit. “The Song family and Wang Yun were worried that if your mother made a big deal out of it, it would affect you negatively, so the two of them specifically came to talk about this. Auntie Duan, on the other hand, wants to fabricate bad things about you in order to get your salary!”

Compared to Jiang Chun, who was indignant, Yu Bing had long expected that her mother wouldn’t let the matter rest. However, she didn’t expect her mother to risk not being able to get her retirement money to go to the commune. She felt disappointed, but the Song family’s actions warmed Yu Bing’s heart.

Yu Bing had to admit that the relationship between people wasn’t determined by blood. Therefore, she would repay whoever treated her well in this life!

Duan Mei really had the spirit of an unkillable cockroach. For the past few days, she had been repeatedly rejected by different people. She originally wanted to give up, but when she woke up the next day, she made the decision to look for Yu Bing again!

She had already confirmed that Yu Bing had completed the county’s assignment yesterday, so Yu Bing would definitely go to the factory today. She wanted to go to the factory to stop Yu Bing!

When Duan Mei arrived at the factory, she saw Yu Bing and Wu Jin. Duan Mei planned to make a fuss if there was really no other way. If Yu Bing still wanted to manage the workers, she couldn’t afford to suffer this humiliation.
