Yang Yun is not good at studying, she's only passably pretty, and doesn't even have a formal job. Aside from her family background, what else is there to envy?
Yang Zhen was also very angry inside. Last night, in front of so many people, Yang Yun hit her, yet Yang Dongfeng just watched the whole time and didn't even give her a call afterward!
"Maybe he thinks I always have the obedient personality? So there's no need to pay any special attention to my feelings." Yang Zhen felt very disappointed. Fortunately, her parents loved her, and she called them and talked about the soup.
Her parents were very disappointed in Yang Xue, but they weren't as tolerant as they once were.
"Since it's Father's decision, let's go back and stay there. Why should we always let them live with Father? But you shouldn't go."
Yang Zhen was a bit doubtful: "I worry Grandpa might not agree."
"It's okay, we'll say it. Since Sun Chan isn't going to stay there, and Yang Yun has moved out, you don't have to join the fun either. We don't want to leave an impression of ingratiating to children; the two of us can go over and take care of your Grandpa. We can gather during holidays. Being together isn't meaningful anyway. Besides, it's so far from school, it's not convenient for work either."
Yang Zhen felt relieved hearing this and agreed to her parents' arrangement.
She said to Sun Chan: "You know what, I really don't want to stay there! If I go, Yang Yun would probably curse me openly and secretly, right? Thinking I'm taking advantage, shameless. Why should I, a decent person, be cursed by her?"
Han Dong laughed: "Don't worry, when our business picks up, no matter where we go, we'll be admired everywhere, no need to take advantage of them."
"Ah, that's right." Yang Zhen suddenly understood: "If I have a good career, she'd only envy and be jealous, how could she still doubt me? Good idea! Just to make sure Yang Yun won't curse me, I also have to work hard. She looks down on me being a teacher, earning little money while suffering, but if I cooperate with you and get the business going, she definitely won't dare to underestimate me anymore. I can also breathe a sigh of relief!"
That damned girl has been oppressing me for so many years, I really hope for a day where I can hold my head high!
Sun Chan smiled, never thought Yang Yun would become a motivation for their struggle.
From that day on, they all started getting busy.
Han Dong's factory wasn't even fully decorated yet when work started coming in.
Sun Chan made a few sets of sportswear samples, mostly in light blue with white stripes, some with yellow stripes, each style was made into clothing, Han Dong took the clothes to the hospital, and the leader picked the most conservative set, which was originally the style Sun Chan and Yang Zhen had in mind.
They started manufacturing. Because the urgency, the factory hired fewer than ten clothing workers altogether, so they started working around the clock as soon as they joined.
Sun Chan also often went over, besides regular wages, Han Dong also proposed giving workers an extra fee of one yuan per finished garment. They were all very serious.
Sun Chan made clothes in the morning, studied in the afternoon, Yang Zhen occasionally came by to help herself.
Since they were in the clothing business, Sun Chan decided to enroll in a textile-related secondary school, allowing her to familiarize with different fabrics, gain better understanding of clothes and styles, and broaden her horizons. To prepare for the future operation of Han Dong's garment factory. Most importantly, the score for this major was very low, and since Sun Chan only had a below-elementary education, this made more sense for her.
Busy for over half a month consecutively, the days grew hotter.
During this period, Sun Chan only met Zhao Jieyun once.
The two went to eat dumplings at the place where they last met, Zhao Jieyun sighed: "I originally thought I could live under one roof with you, never thought you're too busy to even meet. Are you this occupied?"
Sun Chan laughed: "I'm working at the factory now, recently rushing a batch of work. Mom, don't worry, this is good, just consider your daughter went off to school, I'll call you when I have time, isn't it nice we're having a meal here?"
Zhao Jieyun said: "I truly feel sorry for you. Yang Yun is already so grown but hasn't done any work. Yet, you're working so hard."
"I'm willing, not hard. How are things at home?" Sun Chan laughed.
Zhao Jieyun's gaze dimmed a bit; things weren't great domestically.
During this period, she argued with her husband many times because Sun Chan refused to move back. Zhao Jieyun questioned her husband repeatedly about what he said to their daughter that she refuses to move in.
But Yang Dongfeng was resentful too: "It's not that I insist she not stay; she herself doesn't want to come. Just listen to me: if we really crowd together, we'll only fight."
"Hmph! Your daughter fights with whoever she stays with?" Zhao Jieyun sneered: "Incorrect, she's my daughter too, it's my fault as a mother!"
The family of three moved out, replaced by the younger brother and sister-in-law moving in, whereas Yang Zhen, claiming work necessity, continued staying in the school dorms, not moving in. But Yang Yun, although officially moved out, still found time to come back daily to sponge meals, cozying up with Grandpa, always badmouthing Sun Chan and Yang Zhen.
"They're just pretending to be filial, see, not one of them thinks of Grandpa? Only I come back every day to accompany you."
Yang Xiong said: "They care about me. Yesterday afternoon, they both came, brought some fruit, also gifted me a set of pajamas."
Yang Yun was speechless, furious, those two lowlifes actually buttered up Grandpa behind my back!
She laughed: "Grandpa, those two are just acting, but I'm the one who truly cares for you. How about having dumplings for lunch? I'll have the maid make them for you, okay?" After saying this, she instructed the maid to cook, still acting as if she wasn't an outsider.
The uncle and aunt were always honest people, naturally wouldn't contend with her.
Yang Yun simply stayed in the house as if moving back.
At first, Yang Xiong could tolerate, but over time, he simply went out camping. He wasn't home, so Yang Yun staying was pointless, she could only angrily leave.
She began yelling at her parents: "Hurry up and bring Grandpa home! If this continues, they really won't move away. When that happens, if you're kicked out, won't that look good for you?"
Zhao Jieyun said: "This is what your Grandpa wants, can't you see? He never wanted you to go there!"
Yang Yun of course did not admit: "You're talking nonsense! Grandpa loves me the most! It's you who separated us!"
"Think whatever you want, anyway I won't let you go back, find a place to work temporarily, don't mooch at home, nagging us."
