Chapter 241 Su Yan’s Childhood
When she was six years old, Su Yan’s grandmother had set up a stall by the roadside of the orphanage. She had set up an omelet stall for passers-by. At that time, omelets had just become popular. Because she had to take care of Su Yan, she often brought Su Yan along
One day, when her grandmother was cleaning up the stall, she deliberately left Su Yan at the entrance of the orphanage. At that time, Su Yan cried. She was a six-year-old child, so she was afraid and helpless. She only knew how to cry. In the end, it was the director of the orphanage who took her in.
However, the next morning, a rich couple came to the orphanage. They were infertile and wanted to adopt a daughter. However, out of the seven or eight girls in the orphanage, only the smart and obedient Su Yan caught their eye.
She thought that they would soon have a new home. Unexpectedly, their conversation with the orphanage’s director would be overheard by her grandma. When she heard the number 500,000 from the rich couple’s mouth, her grandmother immediately had a thought.
The orphanage’s director was a very kind person. Seeing that Su Yan was still in shock, the orphanage’s director couldn’t bear for her to be adopted right now. Hence, the orphanage’s director told the rich couple that he hoped that they would adopt other girls. He said that Su Yan wasn’t an orphan but that something had happened to a neighbor nearby, so she was temporarily placed in the orphanage.
After hearing that Su Yan wasn’t an orphan, the couple was very regretful. They couldn’t find a girl that they liked here, so they decided to go to other orphanages to look around.
Just as the couple was about to bid farewell to the director and leave, Su Yan’s grandmother rushed to the couple. Her old face was full of smiles as she said, “Don’t listen to the director’s nonsense. That girl was originally an orphan. When she was still a baby, she was abandoned on the street. It was my daughter who was kind enough to take her in and raise her. Unfortunately, my daughter and son-in-law died young, and I’m old, so I can’t take care of her at all. If you really like this girl, then give me some pension money and take her away.”
At first, the rich couple was skeptical. However, Su Yan’s grandmother’s eloquence was off the charts. For 500,000 yuan, she put in even more effort. Usually, she criticized Su Yan all the time, but now, she praised Su Yan profusely.
After a round of bargaining, the rich couple only gave Su Yan’s grandmother 300,000 yuan. Although her grandmother wanted 500,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan wasn’t a small amount at that time, so she agreed, and she quickly went back to pack Su Yan’s clothes.
Just like that, Su Yan was like a commodity that her grandmother sold to the rich couple. Although Su Yan was young, she had been smart since she was young. While the rich couple was filling up the car, she begged the staff at the gas station to call the police for child trafficking.
Later, when the police arrived, Su Yan was sent back to her parents, and her parents completely cut off contact with her grandmother’s family. Later on, when her grandmother was old and her health was getting worse, the hospital issued a critical notice and called her mother.
After Su Yan’s mother and father discussed it, they decided to go through the procedures in the end. It could be considered that they had fulfilled their duty as children. Therefore, on the morning of New Year’s Day, before dawn, the two of them drove out. Su Yan was left alone at home to catch up on sleep. However, when Su Yan opened her eyes again, she only saw two bodies covered in blood.
After ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes. Su Yan was still standing by the roadside waiting. She didn’t move no matter how the cold wind blew. It was already past eleven o’clock at night. It wasn’t easy to get a taxi at this time of the night. Moreover, it was the holidays.
Wei Zhou looked at Su Yan and asked, “Are you really going to the Lin Family’s home?”
The reason why he asked this was because there was a stick lying by Su Yan’s feet. Su Yan had just waited for a while before she went back to snatch it back from a masked
man.
Su Yan was wrapped up tightly and only her eyes were exposed as she looked at the man. She said coldly, “Can’t I?”
Throughout the entire new year period, today was the day that she was in the worst mood. When she thought about how her parents had passed away on this day, she felt dejected. Yet, the Lin family had chosen to attack her today. Wasn’t this equivalent to provoking her?
She was alone now. In any case, she had no family. Since the Lin family had provoked her, why wouldn’t she dare to come knocking on their door? In short, if she wasn’t allowed to have a peaceful new year, then no one could. If she wasn’t happy, then everyone would be unhappy.
To be honest, if it were another day, she might have chosen to endure it. After all, choosing to use her head to solve a problem was better than using force. However, today wasn’t the day. Anyone who provoked her today would suffer her wrath.
