Chapter 55 The Village Beauty's Goddess of Cooking Mother in the 7s 12
Yan Xia successfully completed the college entrance examination. When she walked out of the examination hall, the first thing she saw was Si Yan waiting in the crowd. Yan Xia excitedly ran over to her.
"Mom, have you been waiting for a long time? Why don't you find a place to sit for a while, for an hour or two?"
"It's okay, Mom isn't tired. You're the one who's most tired today. You must have been stressed all day. Come on, let's go home. Mom will cook you something delicious."
"Yeah."
Yan Xia, who was originally nervous, instantly forgot about her grades and now only wanted to eat delicious food.
On the way back, Yan Xia and Si Yan talked about what they had heard at school.
"Mom, do you know what? The canned food you make is really popular at our school. I heard from them that their families have bought a lot to give as gifts."
"Oh, right, almost every teacher at our school has one too. I saw Teacher Li had one hidden in her drawer the other day."
Yan Xia described it with great enthusiasm and pride.
"Hehe, really? Do your classmates like to eat it?"
Si Yan couldn't help but laugh at Yan Xia's comical explanation.
"Of course they like it. They even secretly asked me if there were any new kinds of canned side dishes to go with rice."
Yan Xia proudly raised her head.
Si Yan smiled and shook her head, indicating that she couldn't bear to watch.
And so, the mother and daughter chatted happily all the way home.
Yan Xia assisted, while Si Yan was in charge of cooking.
Although Yan Xia could also make it, she didn't know why she just couldn't replicate the taste of her mother's cooking.
Si Yan made Yan Xia's favorite braised pork, which was fatty but not greasy, and tender and smooth, which Yan Xia liked very much.
In contrast to the warm atmosphere at Si Yan's house, a fierce argument broke out at Wang Tiantian's home.
"Wang Jianjun, you heartless bastard, how could you abandon me and Tiantian and leave all by yourself?"
Yan Xue cried hysterically.
"Abandon? Isn't my current situation your fault?"
Wang Jianjun looked at Yan Xue coldly, the love in his eyes long gone.
With a touch of artistic sensibility at heart, once he saw through Yan Xue's true nature, he found it difficult to like her anymore.
“I can’t keep my job here, so I have to agree to be transferred to teach in the Northwest. If you and Tiantian don’t mind, you can come with me.”
Wang Jianjun knew that Yan Xue couldn't endure this hardship.
Seeing that Yan Xue kept her head down and didn't say anything, Wang Jianjun picked up his luggage and went out.
Looking at Wang Jianjun's back, Yan Xue knew how things had come to this. Suddenly, a surge of energy welled up inside her, and she shouted at Wang Jianjun.
"I will prove you right. My daughter will definitely be a college student."
Wang Jianjun glanced at Yan Xue and the silent Wang Tiantian in the room one last time with disappointment, then walked away without looking back.
Yan Xue also went back into the house and slammed the door shut.
After entering the room, Yan Xue looked at Wang Tiantian and spoke expressionlessly.
"Sweetie, your dad is a good-for-nothing and too upright. Remember, you can't be like him. You should know that everyone looks out for themselves."
"Mom, don't worry. I'll head to school as soon as I get the acceptance letter. I'm determined to become a college student."
Wang Tiantian said fiercely, vowing in her heart that once she made something of herself, she would definitely make the Jiang family pay.
Who told them to be so arrogant back then? If they didn't steal her college acceptance letter, whose would they steal?
In the days that followed, Wang Tiantian was even more nervous than Yan Xia, because if Yan Xia didn't do well on the exam, all her plans would be for nothing.
Finally, the results came out. Yan Xia's score was high enough to get into a top-tier university, which is also a good result that ranks in the top ten in her grade.
In the end, Yan Xia applied to Taipei Normal University. Yan Xia wanted to be a good teacher who educates and nurtures students, just like Teacher Li.
Wang Tiantian was equally delighted. After learning about Yan Xia's grades, she was overjoyed, as they were even better than she had expected.
However, Wang Tiantian knew that to stay calm, she had to wait until the notification arrived before making any decisions.
After Yan Xia received the notification letter, Si Yan held a thank-you banquet with three or four tables in the courtyard behind the shop.
While I was discussing the dishes with Yan Xia, several uninvited guests arrived.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look who this is! This is my brother, Yan Xingbang. My brother is not dead."
"The body was completely decomposed back then, and we were afraid you wouldn't be able to bear seeing it, so we didn't let you go up to check. Little did we know that we had mistaken the person for someone else."
"Later, my brother was rescued but forgot everything. It wasn't until I saw him on the street yesterday that he remembered us. That's why I brought him back to see you all tonight."
Yan Xingguo was quite the actor, speaking with great emotion as if he had accomplished a great feat.
Aside from her initial surprise, Yan Xue didn't react much else.
Because Yan Xingbang didn't take good care of her when he was around.
It was only after he passed away that the mother and daughter's lives got better and better.
Si Yan simply gave Yan Xingbang a meaningful look.
"Really? Seven years have passed, and you're only just remembering now. What a coincidence."
"What are you doubting? My brother finally came back, and this is your attitude? How can you be a wife like this?"
Yan Xue couldn't stand Si Yan's current state. Someone who used to be so eloquent that she would never dare to go east if Yan Xue told her to go west was now not only more eloquent but also living a better life than Yan Xue.
Yan Xue absolutely cannot tolerate this.
Yan Xingbang paid no attention to Si Yan's reaction. He went into the store, looked her up and down, and then spoke to himself.
“Siyan, now that I’m back, you don’t need to keep the steamed bun shop open anymore. Hand over the skills to Xingguo. From now on, you and Yanxia can go back to your hometown to take care of Mom. I have a job in the city, and I will come back to see you often.”
As he spoke, Yan Xingbang's gaze towards Si Yan changed. He hadn't expected that Si Yan would become even more beautiful after seven years.
Yan Xingbang, who was thinking about enjoying the bliss of having two wives, couldn't help but let a slight smile creep up his lips.
Unaware that Si Yan's expression was growing increasingly grim, Yan Xingbang continued talking to himself.
"Oh, right, where is Yan Xia's admission notice? Give it to Yan Xue. Tian Tian didn't do well on the exam, so let her go to school first. Yan Xia's grades are good, so she can take the exam again later."
Yan Xia stood up in disbelief. She never imagined that her father would be so shameless. This was something her own father would do.
Seeing Yan Xia's aggrieved expression, Si Yan could no longer bear it.
"Hey, I'm telling you, you..."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
"Don't hit me, ouch!"
With a "bang," Yan Xingbang was knocked to the ground by Si Yan's broom.
Yan Xue and Yan Xingguo, who were standing nearby, kept their distance, afraid of being implicated.
"Yan Xingbang, I've known for a long time that you already have a wife and children in the city. What are you pretending for in front of me?"
"Let me tell you, stop dreaming. You're nothing but a fart in my eyes. Get lost!"
Yan Xingbang's face was grim.
"Si Yan, since you've gone this far, don't blame me for being ruthless. Your shop can just wait to close down."
Si Yan didn't even bother to glance at him.
"Really? I think you might have to go before I'm finished."
"I advise you to go back to the city as soon as possible."
Yan Xingbang looked puzzled.
"What do you mean? You..."
With a bang, the entire Yan family was locked outside.
Panicked, Yan Xingbang ignored Yan Xue and Yan Xingguo, who were also locked outside, and rode away on his bicycle that was parked outside.
He didn't know why, but he felt his heart racing and had a bad feeling.
At that moment, he was unaware that not only would he not get a promotion, but he and his father-in-law would also lose their jobs.
Si Yan has anonymously sent the evidence she recently collected of Yan Xingbang and his father-in-law's illegal sale of state assets to Director Sun.
Director Sun is holding a large meeting at the factory right now.
