Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

Thinking of the economic development trend in the future, Yu Bing even applied for a fashion design class for herself. She planned to get a double degree and then focus all her attention on studying and interacting with her classmates to make up for the university time that she had not enjoyed in her previous life.

Yu Yan, who was in the He Mountain Village, didn’t give up on the idea of returning to the city. In July of the next year, she got into a secondary school and studied accounting. At this time, the value of secondary school was much higher than in the future.

Yu Hai and Li Xin had been sending Yu Yan double the amount of things during the preparation period. Firstly, they hoped that Yu Yan could understand how much they doted on her, so that when she filled in her school application, she would return to Linshui City to study. Secondly, they were worried that she would be malnourished and that it would affect her preparation for the examination.

However, Yu Yan still agreed on the surface. After the exam, she filled in all three applications to schools in Hang City. When Li Xin found out, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

Li Xin wasn’t angry that Yu Yan wanted to go to Hang City to study and return to her biological family, but that the daughter she had raised since she was young was compliant on the surface but rebellious on the inside. She didn’t care about their ten to twenty years of mother-daughter relationship at all. She was even unwilling to return home even once after she got into the school and went straight to school from the He Mountain Village.

Mr. Yu and Duan Mei were very angry when they found out from Yu Yan that Yu Bing got into the capital university but didn’t tell them. However, Yu Bing would give them alimony like Yu Pan after they grew old, so they couldn’t be bothered to cause trouble anymore.

They realized that Yu Bing was no longer the little girl they could control so easily. If they dared to cause trouble, she would really abandon them.

It was precisely because of this that Duan Mei was very happy that Yu Yan had gotten into a school in Hang City. After a disobedient person left, an easy-to-manipulate person appeared, so it wasn’t a loss. After all, they had never spent money to raise their second daughter, but they would get money from Yu Yan directly after she started working. Just the thought of this was enough for Duan Mei to rejoice.

Ever since Yu Yan sold the recruitment spot to Yao Nian, she had saved up 200 yuan. During the preparation period, she used various excuses to ask her adoptive parents for money. When she arrived at Hang City to study, she had already saved up 400 to 500 yuan.

After Yu Yan had some money in her hands, she couldn’t bear to splurge on herself. She bought meat every few days and returned to the Yu family’s house to eat. As a result, Duan Mei was in a good mood every day.

Yu Yan went there frequently, so Shi Lian naturally noticed something amiss. There was once when she happened to bump into Yu Yan and Duan Mei walking side by side on the stairs with Yao Nian. Shi Lian immediately recognized Yu Yan as the little girl she had arranged for someone to adopt.

Only then did Yao Nian find out about Yu Yan’s true identity. He immediately wanted to break up with Yu Yan. After all, the Yu family’s situation was the same as his own. How could they help him?!

However, Yu Yan wasn’t easy to shake off. She had almost lost her virginity to Yao Nian. If Yao Nian dared to let her down, she would ruin Yao Nian’s studies and career. Yao Nian naturally didn’t dare to take the risk. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.

At this moment, Li Xin and Yu Hai went to Yu Yan’s school. Yu Yan felt that it wasn’t easy for her to return to her biological family, so she didn’t want to return to her home in Linshui City for a moment longer. Moreover, the money she had saved up during the two years she had been studying was completely enough. After she graduated, the school would also find her a job. She thought that she was settled, so she fell out with her adoptive parents.

Li Xin and Yu Hai didn’t expect to raise an ingrate after so many years. They returned to Linshui City sadly and made up their minds to treat it as if they had never raised Yu Yan.

The Yu family was in a mess, but Yu Bing was living very comfortably in the capital.

In the middle of 1979, more and more people came out to do small businesses on the streets of the capital. The support for individual entrepreneurship became more and more obvious, and Yu Bing began to feel tempted.

Yu Bings original plan was to start from catering like in her previous life, but catering was time-consuming. Now, she couldn’t take so much time out, so she could only postpone the catering plan and focus on selling ready-made clothes.

During the Cultural Revolution, people advocated plainness, so most of them only wore black, blue, or gray clothing. People suppressed their pursuit of beauty for a full ten years!

Anything that had been suppressed for a long time would eventually explode. Therefore, after the reform and opening up, young men and women had no resistance towards fashionable and gorgeous clothes.

Many daily habits had changed drastically along with the change in policy, but the people’s disdain for merchants had not changed much. They still had the idea that working in national institutions and factories was the best place for a person to go..
