227 Discontent
Li Xin smiled as she listened to the father and daughter reminisce about the past.
Seeing that the atmosphere was very harmonious, Yu Hai slowly changed the topic to what he really wanted to say. “Yu Yan, life is very long. We will meet many people, good and bad. We have to be careful when making friends.”
When Yu Yan heard this, she knew that Yu Hai was talking about her boyfriend. “Dad, I know what you want to say. Don’t worry. Besides, I’ve only dated him for a few days.”
Li Xin reminded him again worriedly, “You can date him, but remember to keep your distance.”
Yu Yan replied impatiently, “Got it, got it.”
As Li Xin looked at her daughter’s pretty face, she thought of the young lady who accompanied them to the village yesterday, so she asked, “How’s your relationship with Yu Bing?”
Yu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “I’m not familiar with her.”
Li Xin nodded. Yesterday, she had heard the chatter of those intellectuals and knew that Yu Bing didn’t live in the dormitory building. “That girl is very nice. Although she’s younger than you, she’s very smart. She’s the intellectual team captain and the village’s factory director. I heard that she was the one who came up with the idea for your village’s economic project.”
Yu Hai also agreed and said, “Your mother and I even chatted with her yesterday. I didn’t expect such a capable young lady to be so humble. She didn’t seem arrogant at all. You should befriend more people like her. You can learn many good things from her.”
When Yu Yan heard her adoptive parents’ praise for Yu Bing, her expression instantly became very ugly. She vented the dissatisfaction she had long suppressed in her heart. “You guys haven’t interacted with her for that long! I knew you guys had always been dissatisfied with me. You guys finally revealed it! If you guys are so satisfied with her, why didn’t you guys choose her? Why did you guys choose me?!”
Yu Yan was already brooding over her adoptive parents choosing her instead of Yu Bing back then. What did they mean by saying this now? Did they regret it?
The more Yu Yan thought about it, the more she felt that she had discovered the truth.
Li Xin and Yu Hai also suddenly thought of Yu Bing, so they mentioned it, but they didn’t expect Yu Yan to have such a big reaction. The couple didn’t realize what Yu Yan meant. After all, Yu Yan was very young when they adopted her, so the two of them never thought that Yu Yan knew her true background.
Li Xin’s smile disappeared. “Yu Yan, why are you so narrow-minded now? We’re just talking about our opinions of her and giving you a suggestion. Your words are too hurtful! Have your father and I ever mistreated you since you were young? When have we not fulfilled your requests? Seems like your father and I came here to see you for nothing!”
With a livid expression, Li Xin went straight to the entrance to wait for the tractor. When Yu Hai heard this, his expression turned ugly.
His usually gentle countenance looked very serious at this moment. “Yu Yan, when I received your letter, your mother was very anxious. What do you mean by we’ve always been dissatisfied with you? Do you think we lectured you because we’re dissatisfied with you? Or do you think as long as we say something you don’t want to hear, we’re dissatisfied with you? Didn’t you ever think that we said those words to you because you were in the wrong?”
“Yu Yan, I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but you seem to have been blaming us in the past few years. We’ll go back now. Take care of yourself.”
With that, Yu Hai chased after his wife without looking back.
Yu Yan lowered her eyes and stared at her toes. After a moment of silence, she turned around and left the waiting room.
She wasn’t wrong! They were dissatisfied with her!
They used the excuse of doing so for her own good to punish her and scold her. In reality, it was because she wasn’t their biological daughter.
Yu Yan reconfirmed her original belief, but she overlooked the fact that her adoptive parents’ biological son had been punished and scolded more times than her.
He Mountain Village.
When she found Yu Bing, Yu Bing was looking at the ratio of chicken and duck feed at the farm in the orchard. After Xiao Sheng asked Jiang Chun to tell Yu Bing about Zeng Li’s arrival, she quickly recalled what other formulas she could use.
