342 Argument

When Duan Mei heard her husband’s words, a troubled expression appeared on her face. “The family’s situation is already very bad. Over the past few days, I wanted the child to eat some nutritious food to nourish her. Coupled with today’s expenses, the family has already spent most of last month’s salary. Not to mention that we haven’t saved a single cent, how to spend the next half a month is still a problem.”

Mr. Yu’s expression darkened when he heard this. “Why are you saying this in front of the child?! I’ll think of a way!”

Duan Mei turned around angrily. “What can you think of? All you can do is borrow money! Life is difficult these days. Who will lend money to you?”

When Yu Yan heard her parents’ argument, she was a little helpless because her adoptive parents had never quarreled in front of her.

She only remembered that her family also had a financial problem in primary school. At that time, she didn’t know that she was adopted.

At that time, her adoptive parents were arguing in the room. She passed by when she went to the bathroom to wash up after she finished her homework. Because they were a little loud, she leaned against the door curiously and eavesdropped. Only then did she hear the two of them arguing about money.

Later, her adoptive mother discovered her. Yu Yan didn’t remember how she felt at that time. She only remembered asking if her family was broke. However, her adoptive parents didn’t admit it at that time and said that she had misheard.

However, after that, she didn’t dare to take the initiative to ask for toys again for a long time. Even if her adoptive parents took the initiative to buy her toys, she refused.

At that time, there was only one thought in her mind, which was that she couldn’t spend money recklessly. It wasn’t until her adoptive father was promoted half a year later and there were more meat dishes at home that she returned to her original lifestyle.

However, before Yu Yan could compare her adoptive parents to her biological parents, she was pulled back to reality by the increasingly loud argument. Yu Yan said, “Dad, Mom, stop arguing. We’re all family. Let’s talk things out.”

After Mr. Yu and Duan Mei finally awaited a way out, they secretly blamed Yu Yan for being insensible. When Yu Yan saw that his parents were arguing, Yu Yan actually didn’t stop them immediately and seemed to be thinking about something else. They had no choice but to raise their voices to attract her attention.

Yu Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her parents stop arguing and she stuffed the money into Duan Mei’s hand. “Mom, take it. Dad, don’t stand on ceremony with me.”

When Mr. Yu saw the 50 yuan that they had already obtained, he couldn’t bear to part with it, but with the idea of no pain no gain in mind, he took the money out of Duan Mei’s hand and placed it in Yu Yan’s hand.

He sighed. “Child, take it back. 50 yuan isn’t enough to solve the problem even if you give it to us. Why don’t you keep it and buy something delicious for yourself?”

Yu Yan was stunned for a moment. “What happened? Why does it seem like you guys owe a lot of money?”

Only then did Duan Mei say, “Sigh, it’s all your brother’s fault. This year’s recruitment of intellectuals has already ended. Your father originally wanted to get through the recruitment first and slowly gather enough money to get him a job later.”

“Who knew that they would be so strict this year? The bone fracture certificate your brother originally found was no longer useful, so he was signed up. He said that he would go to the countryside alone after his leg recovered, but they visit every month to check on his recovery. This can’t be hidden for long. The temporary job your father found previously costs 580 yuan, and we’re still short of 100 yuan. Your father has been anxious about this recently.”

In the past, Yu Yan would have given them the remaining 50 yuan without hesitation, but now, she didn’t dare to.

She still had 50 yuan worth of debt, so she said to Mr. Yu and Duan Mei, “Dad, Mom, I’ve been short on money recently, so I can only give you guys this much. However, don’t be angry. Although this 50 yuan isn’t enough, it’s better than nothing.”

Yu Yan’s reaction was completely different from what Duan Mei had expected!

In Duan Mei’s opinion, it was impossible for her not to be able to fork out the remaining 50 yuan. However, she couldn’t force Yu Yan to take the money, so she could only say, “How can we think it’s too little? Take it that we borrowed this money from you.”

Yu Yan shook her head repeatedly. “There’s no need. I haven’t been by your side over the years, so this bit of money is nothing. Just treat it as me being filial to you guys. Just take it.”

At this point, Duan Mei and Mr. Yu probably couldn’t get any more money from Yu Yan.

Even if there was only a little, it was still money, so they could only keep the 50 yuan for now.
