287 Receiving the Thin Blanket
The trip to C City finally ca to an end. In the evening, Xiao Sheng went to buy bus tickets to the next city for seven o’clock tomorrow morning.
Things went more smoothly in the next three cities than in City C. With the approval of Pingjiang County and the docunts that City C had successfully filed, Yu Bing successfully completed all kinds of procedures by relying on her eloquence. She was just waiting for the employees to co to the office.
It had been ten days since they ca and the two of them had been busy the entire ti. If not for the fact that they had spare money and were willing to splurge on good food, they would have collapsed from exhaustion already.
The last city on this business trip itinerary was City F. City H was in the center of Jiang Province, and City F was in the southernmost part of Jiang Province. It took a day to travel there by train.

At this mont, Yu Hai and Li Xin also received the thin blanket Yu Yan had sent back.
Li Xin looked at the blanket again and again as she kept touching the blanket.
Yu Hai brought the stir-fried dishes to the table. When he saw the smile on his wife’s face, he revealed a doting expression. “It’s ti to eat. It’s been more than half an hour since you’ve opened the package already, but you’re still caressing the blanket.”
Li Xin rolled her eyes at her husband and said with a smile, “What do you know? My daughter made this for .”
Yu Hai echoed, “Yes, yes, yes. She sent you her first handmade product imdiately after she made it.”
After Li Xin folded the small blanket and placed it aside, she said, “This child has really beco more sensible than before when she went to the countryside. In the past, when did she ever rember that I had arthritis?”
With that, Li Xin recalled the last ti Yu Yan lied and said with a frown, “But she also developed the bad habit of lying.”
Yu Hai held his wife’s hand as he brought her to the dining table and said, “Yu Yan isn’t ant for hard labor. I don’t know why she suddenly wanted to go build a village. She must have realized that rural life was completely different from that of the city when she went there, so she ca up with the bad idea of bribing others to work for her.”
Li Xin picked up her bowl and chopsticks as she agreed with her husband’s words.
Both of them were mid-level managers, so their salaries and employee benefits were very good. Their son was paid a salary in the army, so they didn’t have to worry about him. They weren’t super wealthy, but they were at least well-off.
Therefore, Yu Yan had never suffered before and didn’t know how rough life in the countryside was. She might not be able to eat her fill even if she worked hard every day, let alone enjoy food.
Wheen Li Xin thought about how hard Yu Yan was working on the farm, she decided that Yu Yan couldn’t scrimp on food. Otherwise, if she was overworked and didn’t get enough nutrition, she might collapse. This was why she sent money and packages every month.
Yu Hai looked at Li Xin as she said, “Our daughter said that she owes people money for her previous treatnt. Now that she doesn’t have spare money anymore, those who got benefits from her previously are mocking her. Do you think we should increase her allowance? I saw a water mark on the letter. I suspect that the child cried when she wrote the letter.”
When Li Xin heard her husband’s words, she hesitated for a mont. “If the intellectuals she interacted with previously are really such people, it’s good that Yu Yan can take the opportunity to see their true colors. How can she be friends with such people?! Besides, I don’t believe that all the young people in the dormitory building are like that.”
Just as Yu Hai thought his wife was determined to teach Yu Yan a lesson, she shifted her ground. “However, she has to repay the money and favors she received. If she wants to resu the previous thod of transferring money, there’s no need to think about it. We can only transfer it monthly. Otherwise, if she has too much money, she might get scamd by other people. Transfer an additional 10 yuan this month and send more packages. Let her use so to repay the young people who took care of her when she was sick.”
Yu Hai knew that Li Xin had relented. Otherwise, an additional five yuan would have been more than enough. There was no need to increase it to ten yuan.
He smiled and asked, “Then will it still be five yuan a month in the future?”
Li Xin lowered her eyes and thought for a mont before saying, “The packages will still be halved, but send 10 yuan a month, in case she gets sick and needs money urgently. After all, we’re too far away to help.”
As for the reasons Li Xin changed her mind, firstly, it was because her daughter knew how to be considerate and caring now. This could be considered a good change to her after going to the countryside. Another reason was that as her husband had said, Yu Yan probably wouldn’t be able to stay there for long. Even if she was given an additional five yuan, it wouldn’t be enough for her to get anyone to help her work. As long as she could force Yu Yan to participate in hard labor, it was only a matter of ti before she returned to the city.
