Chapter 1925: Chapter 1926: Passerby Female Intellectual Youth 68

Wang Yan’s parents and others did not expect that Wang Yan had already come here yesterday and had a very unpleasant argument with Zhang Yu.

"Well, we really don’t know the girl’s whereabouts." Mother Wang quickly played the pitiful card when she sensed things were off.

"We woke up this morning and didn’t see the girl; the things were gone too. How could we not be worried?"

"We are usually busy and don’t know who the girl is close with. We just remember she got along well with Zhang Yu, so we came over to ask about the situation."

Everyone understood her feelings after hearing her speak like this, after all, waking up to find a lot of things missing at home would make anyone frantic.

"This really has nothing to do with Zhang Family’s Girl. The rice she brought back is more; her family’s condition is better. She definitely wouldn’t be interested in your family’s things."

"Exactly, and her father is in ill health, making it even more impossible for her to do such a thing."

The Wang Family members listened to these words and were sure Zhang Yu had no part in this; her father is an engineer, a mechanical plant engineer, earning a decent salary.

Mother used to work in the mechanical plant’s finance department, now her son has taken over, but she works in the street office now; the four family members all have salaries, so how could they be interested in such little things?

Suddenly, a neighbor chimed in, "Could the girl have gone to the black market?"

"The black market?" Father Wang exclaimed.

The neighbor who was present yesterday also thought this was very plausible, "Yes, I really think this is possible."

"Yesterday, when everyone talked about the black market, the girl’s eyes were continuously darting around."

"Yes, the girl doesn’t look like an honest person."

"If she were honest, how could she fool Zhang Family’s Girl."

Though it was the first time everyone met Wang Yan’s parents, one could easily gauge how good the parents could be if they raised such a daughter.

What’s more, after realizing their daughter was missing, instead of worrying about her disappearance, they rushed here to find Zhang Yu, focusing on the fact that the daughter took the family’s grain when she left, implying she took it to Zhang Yu’s place.

Everyone here is an adult; who doesn’t understand the implication? It’s simply to make Zhang Yu compensate for the loss; they’ve never seen such parents.

The Wang Family members didn’t expect such unkind remarks implying Wang Yan was no good, and neither were her parents.

Hearing these words, Wang Yan’s parents were very upset, but despite being upset, they could only bear it, they had to bear it.

Now, their main concern was whether that girl Wang Yan really went to the black market.

Though it felt incredible, it wasn’t impossible, the Wang Family came in high spirits but returned in low spirits, with unhappy expressions as they left.

Mother Wang, following behind Father Wang, muttered, "Are we just going to let this go?" Mother Wang wouldn’t let it go easily, "The girl did bring back two hundred pounds of rice."

Father Wang was deeply troubled, having heard the implication in Mother Wang’s words, asking if they could compensate for some of the loss from Zhang Family.

Of course, he wanted to make up for the loss too, if it wasn’t for being on the street, he really wanted to silence her with a slap, "The girl brought back two hundred pounds of rice, plenty of people saw it, and there are records from the farm."

"How could you call the police?"

"Moreover, no one saw Wang Yan bring things here; if someone asks later if Wang Yan took things to the black market, what will you say?"

"There’s no evidence," whispered Mother Wang.

Father Wang chuckled, "Exactly, you also said there’s no evidence, so can you produce evidence of Wang Yan sending things to Zhang’s house?"

"Can you produce it?" Father Wang almost shouted, "Without evidence, don’t stir up trouble."

"Let’s let this go." Father Wang fumed thinking about all the lost rice.

But there was no way around it; time had passed, and if Wang Yan really went to the black market, she probably sold the things by now and went back to the farm. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Mother Wang didn’t expect that after all this fuss, it would end like this, "Just let it go? That was tens of pounds of rice."

"Sold at the market, it could have fetched quite a good price." Thinking about the lost money, Mother Wang felt miserable, her face was sullen.

Wang Yan’s siblings were also unhappy, having eaten the new rice these days, it tasted exceptionally good, much better than the rice they’ve eaten before.

Who would have thought Wang Yan would be so stingy, stealing the rice away, even more surprising was that their supposedly almighty Father Wang couldn’t do anything about Wang Yan.

At this moment, the Wang Family children felt their father wasn’t as capable as they thought, but they kept it to themselves, as they still relied on Father Wang to support them.

Father Wang was furious, almost to the point of vomiting blood, but what could he do? Wang Yan was out of town and had her own salary, making it irrelevant if she offended him.

Father Wang never imagined Wang Yan would one day ignore his words; she used to be obedient no matter how he treated her before, how could it become like this?

Father Wang was baffled by it all, but now his focus was on ensuring it doesn’t happen again, or else his authority as head of the household would vanish.

Regarding how to suppress the children, Father Wang felt it necessary to control them economically; only with money in his hands could the children suck up to him for it.

Looking at the eldest son and daughter, these two were no longer as obedient as before and became somewhat unruly. If they had been sensible this time, treated Wang Yan slightly better, like giving up half the bed for her, wouldn’t things have turned out differently?

The more Father Wang thought about it, the angrier he became, repeatedly assuring himself the fault wasn’t his but the eldest son and daughter’s.

Angrier with each thought, he let out a blatant snort.

His sudden outburst left the Wang Family puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly got mad.

The helpless family could only look at Mother Wang, who was also confused, not understanding why he suddenly exploded, "Let it go, ignore him."

"Losing so much at home, who could be happy?" everyone thought.

Sister Wang, thinking of the lost rice at home, grew upset, "Mom, how could Wang Yan do this? I’ve already promised my fiancé twenty pounds of rice in a couple of days."

Eldest Brother Wang heard this and became anxious, "How can you be so selfish, demanding twenty pounds right off?"

He too needed some to give to his fiancé, and couldn’t leave the leadership without a gesture, needing to give some, and how much would remain at home then?
