889 Ma Yan’s Past
Yun Gang thought to himself, ‘it’s you guys who came over without telling me, yet you’re blaming me for making you wait for so long. Who’s the unreasonable one here?’
“However, this is too sudden. It’s not convenient to receive guests at home now. Why don’t we meet outside? I’ll pay for a taxi.”
Seeing that Yun Gang was not willing to agree no matter what, the Old Madam was angry. She was being blocked by her son in every way possible, but she did not want to get angry at her beloved eldest son, so she could only vent her anger on Ma Yan.
“Ma Yan, don’t say anymore. It’s annoying to listen to all the noise!” After that, she said to Yun Gang on the other end of the phone and said in a kind tone, “Son, it’s fine if it’s not convenient for you. I’ll wait for you at the door. You can bring us in next time.”
Ma Yan felt very wronged after being yelled at. She had been speaking up for the Old Madam just now, but why was she the one being yelled at?
She finally realized that the Old Madam was very biased toward Yun Gang. She would rather suffer a little than make things difficult for her precious son.
She then looked at Yun Lin, who had never enjoyed such treatment before. This made Ma Yan recall her younger days.
Her family had two children, a son, and a daughter. At that time, every family valued men over women, and Ma Yan’s family was no exception.
As the second child in the family and a girl, she naturally did not have the opportunity to go to school. As a result, she could barely read.
In their village, their family’s conditions were considered average. Her brother could have whatever he wanted, but she never dared to ask for it. She clearly remembered that one day, she saw her brother holding a candy. She wanted it too, but after telling her mother, she was scolded and never mentioned anything similar again.
Not only that, but Ma Yan also did all the housework, such as harvesting rice, cooking, and so on.
In the beginning, she did not interact much with others. She was very quiet and only focused on her work.
However, later on, she learned to be smart. When she saw what others were eating, she would go over and eat a little under the excuse of tasting it. When she counted the harvest, she would secretly transfer a little of others’ to herself. This way, he could hide the extra money.
Her personality of taking advantage of others must have been formed from this.
Later on, her brother wanted to marry a wife. However, they did not have a wedding house, causing the woman’s family to disagree with the marriage. Thus, her parents set their sights on Ma Yan and started to arrange blind dates for her everywhere.
At that time, the Yun family was also worried about this second son. He was almost past the marriageable age and was a simple and honest man. No one had taken a fancy to him even after many blind dates.
Through the matchmaker, the two families hit it off and each took what they needed. A week later, the wedding was held.
She was just a 20-year-old girl, in the prime of her youth. There were many beautiful things waiting for her to experience. She should not have been bound to this small room.
However, Ma Yan married early and even bore the pain of giving birth to two children for the sake of the few hundred yuan gift.
Now, one child was half-paralyzed and had psychological problems, while the other child found the person he loved, but wanted to move out and was unwilling to communicate with her.
Ever since they got married, the Old Madam had never been nice to her. She had always known that she would never be favored.
Fortunately, Yun Lin was still an honest man and did not go out to cheat. He had also saved some money from working for the past few months.
Although he was a little slow, he was indeed very good to her. After they got married, he rarely let her do tiring work. Even during the most difficult times, he did not let her work in the field. Instead, he worked from morning to night.
At this time, she remembered what Luo Chen had said to her before. Although she did not admit it, she was very envious of Chen Li now. She had a family that was good to her and she could also do the career that she loved.
Ma Yan could only use her relationship with Yun Gang to work as a cleaner at Guan Hong’s company.
Even the current house was rented by Yun Gang. This sense of uneasiness made Ma Yan panic. She was very afraid that one day, they would be driven out to sleep on the streets.
At the thought of this, she made up her mind to have a house under her name. It did not matter if it was small, as long as she had a fixed residence and did not have to live on the streets in the future.
