Chapter 305 You're being too high-profile, you need to be taught a lesson, don't you think
As Meng Peiyu left the machinery factory, she ran into Chen Ruirui, who was coming out of the state-run restaurant. She greeted her with a smile, "Ruirui, you got a few dishes. Shall I help you carry them?"
"No need, no need, sister-in-law. How many days are you planning to stay in Yang County? I'll go back and tidy up the house, and we can squeeze in together!"
Although Chen Ruirui was jealous of Meng Shanshan, she dared not offend Meng Peiyu.
After all, she's the commander's wife, so she has to do everything she can to curry favor with her.
Meng Peiyu took a plastic bow out of her pocket and clipped it to her hair: "I have something to do, and it's more convenient to stay outside."
But I need to trouble you to take care of my younger sister, Shanshan, for a few days!
Although Chen Ruirui was reluctant, she still smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will make sure Sister Shanshan feels at home."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the bow, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Is it pretty? Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You're welcome. A young lady should always dress up nicely!"
The two went home together, and there they saw that Meng Shanshan was already wearing the Chen family's heirloom jade pendant.
A simple bean seed plaque made her beam with joy. Meng Peiyu had no idea when her cousin had become so easily swayed.
But she didn't say anything and sat down at Fang Qiuchun's invitation.
The four chatted for a while, and then Chen Shicong's father, Chen Yongkang, returned with his youngest son, Chen Yan'en. Upon learning of Meng Shanshan's identity, he showed unusual enthusiasm.
This made Meng Shanshan feel a little smug.
"Today, to treat Shanshan and Xiaoyu, I asked Ruirui to buy two meat dishes. You and Xiaoyan have worked hard, so eat more."
Chen Yongkang said, "Shanshan has come all this way, so you must eat your fill. If it's not enough, your aunt can cook more. Just make yourself at home, don't be shy!"
"I understand, thank you, Uncle!"
Chen Yongkang nodded, serving his son food while subtly inquiring about Meng Shanshan's family situation.
Meng Shanshan, that dim-witted girl, actually missed almost everything.
If Meng Peiyu hadn't been there to protect her, she probably would have brought up even her sordid affair with Wang Xingwen.
Having gotten to the point he wanted to know, Chen Yongkang stopped there. He gave Fang Qiuchun a wink, indicating that this daughter-in-law was good and worth marrying.
After a lively meal, Meng Peiyu got up to say goodbye: "Shanshan, the guesthouse is not very comfortable. You and Ruirui can squeeze in for a few nights."
"Sister, this isn't right!" Meng Shanshan said, but she didn't move an inch.
Meng Peiyu smiled and said, "It's not bad at all, we're all relatives. I have errands to run tomorrow and won't have time to entertain you, so I'll have to ask Rui Rui to show you around."
"Okay, then!" Meng Shanshan looked at the hair clip in Chen Ruirui's hair: "You like butterflies? I have a few more at home. I'll send you two when I get back to Kyoto!"
"Ha, good!"
Chen Ruirui laughed awkwardly, thinking to herself, "Who asked you to wear it?"
Both are gifts, but one makes people happy, while the other is as arrogant as if giving alms to a beggar.
Meng Peiyu left the Chen family and returned to the guesthouse. The receptionist asked her, "Where's the girl who was with you?"
"I'm staying at my relative's house!"
"Why don't you go?"
"There aren't enough rooms, we can't accommodate everyone."
"Then you should only check in one person! This is such a hassle and such a waste of money!"
"Don't worry, I won't ask you for a refund."
As she left, the older woman called out, "Bring your companion over for me to check on before you check out. If anything happens to her, I'll call the police!"
Meng Peiyu frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it's a requirement from the Public Security Bureau. You have to come in person to check out of the hotel."
In reality, they were terrified of the spies and feared a repeat of the infamous bomb-hidden scene at the train station, so they paid special attention to strangers coming to Yang County.
Just now, Comrade Hao from the machinery factory came over and told her to pay special attention to Meng Peiyu.
Upon noticing that someone was missing, Yang Caiping assumed it was a human trafficker and became increasingly vigilant.
Meng Peiyu waved her hand: "Okay, I understand!"
I thought to myself, "This little place has so many rules, what a hassle!"
Back in the room, looking at the large communal sleeping area, I couldn't help but feel disgusted.
I chose a spot by the window and changed the sheets and duvet cover.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and when she came back, she found someone rolling around on her new bed sheets.
They even used their dark, dirty feet to leave several large footprints.
"What are you doing?" Meng Peiyu shoved the person to the ground. "Who told you to sleep in my bed?"
"Ouch, that hurts so much! A bed is for people to sleep on, isn't it? You're such a selfish girl!"
"Ouch, my back! My diaper! Pay up!"
"If anyone's going to pay, it's you who should pay me! Look, I just changed the sheets, and you've stained them all!"
"Just wash it if it's dirty, why are you hitting me? Everyone sleeps on the same sheets provided by the guesthouse, why are you the only one sleeping on pink sheets?"
Meng Peiyu: "......"
Ah!
People can actually laugh when they're speechless; her lips twitched repeatedly.
"I don't care, you have to pay me back, at least ten yuan!"
"Get up or not? If you don't get up, I'll call the police!"
Seeing that she was serious, Mao Daya got up, grumbling. As she left, she shouted, "What are you showing off for? You think you're so rich!"
Meng Peiyu didn't want to cause trouble, but she just couldn't stand it anymore.
He took a few deep breaths, put on a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and apologized insincerely: "Big sister, it was my fault for being ignorant and making you jealous!"
"Hey, these are dried persimmons I brought back from Northeast China. Want to try some?"
Mao Daya's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take the oil paper package, eating it while scolding, "You know what's good for you."
You know, a person should always be humble, no matter where they go. You're too high-profile; you need to be taught a lesson, don't you think?
"Yes, yes, you're right, you're absolutely right!"
After giving her perfunctory reply, Meng Peiyu crumpled the bed sheet and threw it into the corner, then forced herself to lie down, close her eyes, and go to sleep, suppressing her nausea.
Finally, dawn broke, and I got up and went to the front desk: "Sister, that woman in the room seems a bit strange!"
Yang Caiping's heart skipped a beat: "No way, no way, another spy?"
On the surface, however, he said, "What happened? Could someone have died?"
Meng Peiyu's "How did you know?" expression terrified Yang Caiping, making her legs go weak.
"Really, someone really died?"
He stumbled and ran towards the women's dormitory. As soon as he entered the room, he found Mao Daya pale-faced, sweating profusely, and in a state of delirium, on the verge of passing out.
"Comrade, comrade, wake up?"
Mao Daya hummed softly, "Ouch, ouch," unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Girl, what's wrong with her?"
Meng Peiyu said innocently, "You probably had an upset stomach, or it could be a sudden illness."
When did she fall ill?
"I don't know, I just woke up like this!"
In reality, even if she was in pain all night, would Meng Peiyu say anything? She wished Mao Daya could suffer for a few more days!
"Big sister, I have something to do, I'll be going now. I'll be back in a couple of days to check out!"
"Ah, you're not staying here anymore!"
Yang Caiping watched her retreating figure and lectured, "You really don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household!"
They were all incredibly envious: "This is what they call being rich and powerful, wow!"
