Chapter 96 Fearless

Li Meng and the people who were still busy in the yard heard the noise and went out to see what was going on.

It was Li Juan and that disgusting old bachelor. Before, Li Juan was thinking about not fulfilling her previous promise to marry the old bachelor, but later, for some reason, she started to give up and got involved with the old bachelor. She also moved into his house. No one knows whether they got married or not.

Li Juan looked at the people standing at the door, and when she saw Li Wen, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over and pounced on Li Wen.

"Brother, it's me, Li Juan, don't you remember?"

Li Wen staggered and was almost knocked off his feet by the impact of Li Juan.

"If you have something to say, let's talk it over nicely. What's wrong with you?" Li Wen shouted sternly.

"Do you think I don't want to talk nicely? Look at me, and then look at her. It's all her fault that I'm like this now." Li Juan pointed at Li Meng and burst into tears.

Li Meng had told her eldest brother about Li Juan's affairs before, so Li Wen knew that the younger sister brought by her aunt was not a good person. She was just trying to scheme against others and got tricked instead. She deserved it. If the younger sister hadn't been smart, she would have definitely fallen into the trap.

"Who harmed you? It was you who framed me first, and we didn't fall for it. Bah, you shameless person." Wu Ruirui was furious when he saw this old bachelor.

"Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. I am the victim," Li Juan continued to argue.

"Okay, shut up. Just tell me why you came here today. Say it quickly." Li Wen interrupted Li Juan. His words made Li Juan hold back all the other words.

"Hey, brother-in-law, it's like this. I heard that you came here in a truck and brought a lot of good stuff. You see, they are all sisters, you won't favor one over the other, right?" The old bachelor walked forward with a flattering smile on his face, rubbing his hands, greed overflowing from his eyes.

"What are you yelling about? Believe it or not, I will smash your mouth." Li Meng picked up the broom from the ground and was about to attack.

Li Wen grabbed his sister and signaled with his eyes that he would handle the matter.

"I basically know everything about you. You don't have to tell me lies. I trust Meng Meng more than you do."

"So please don't bother Mengmeng anymore, and of course don't come to me. You and I have no blood relationship, and I hope you have self-awareness." After saying these words, Li Wen shook off Li Juan's hand and looked at Li Juan coldly.

"Brother, if you really treat me like this, even if I'm not your biological sister, at least I call you brother, so please don't be so cruel to me."

Li Juan looked at Li Wen in disbelief, with a look of despair on her face.

She didn't expect Li Wen to treat her like this. She thought that Li Wen must be cautious about her and should give her some benefits.

"You should leave now and don't come back. Since you have done something wrong, you must be responsible for it," Li Wen continued.

"Okay, okay, okay, since you are all so cold-blooded and don't acknowledge me as your relative, I can't do anything about it. I hope you won't fall into my hands in the future," Li Juan said viciously.

Then Li Juan spat at the door of Li Meng's new home and left without looking back. The old bachelor saw that he didn't get any advantage, so he followed Li Juan and left in shame.

Li Meng took a deep breath. This annoying guy finally left.

"Brother, when are you leaving? I'll pack some things for you to take on the road," Li Meng said to Li Wen who came into the yard with him.

It was originally agreed that Li Wen would return to the army after the banquet, but Li Wen drank a lot of wine at noon, so he said he would rest for one night before leaving. Li Meng thought it was the right thing to do as it was safer.

The four aunties who helped also cleaned up the kitchen. Li Meng paid all the wages to the aunties and packed the remaining vegetables into four portions for them to take home and eat with their families. The aunties were grateful again, because after all, there was meat, and there were not many generous people these days.

Li Meng didn't like eating leftovers in the first place, and there weren't many left, so it really didn't matter to her. However, it was really not easy for people in this era to eat meat. When they left, they told them to remember to call them if they needed help in the future, and Li Meng nodded in agreement.

After a busy morning and afternoon, the four aunts finally finished cleaning the house inside and out before going home.

Li Meng then had some free time to look at the gifts that came from the guests. Most of them were eggs, and the rest were some mountain products. Except for Honglian's dressing table, the rest were food.

After sorting the items by type, Li Meng packed the bacon and pork sauce, as well as the instant noodles that Li Wen had ordered, so that she could just take them with her brother when he left tomorrow.

"Mengmeng, do you think we should raise some chickens in the backyard? Otherwise it will be too empty." Wu Ruirui ran over and asked her.

“I think we should forget it. If we don’t have eggs, we can go buy some. But if we bring back a few chickens, who knows how to sleep so early in the morning? We’ll be so noisy that we’ll die.” Li Meng does not agree with raising chickens, mainly because she is afraid of them getting fried.

Wu Ruirui imagined it, shuddered, and said, "It's true. A rooster crowing every day would make you die of the noise." It's simply too much. Get rid of this idea immediately.

"Then what do you think we should grow? It would be a shame to leave the backyard empty."

Li Meng thought about it, what animal doesn’t like to bark? How about just raising cattle? But it seems that the private cattle are not well fed, which is a bit troublesome.

Pigs are too dirty, and I have to raise sheep. Forget it, I'd better grow vegetables. It's easier and there's less noise.

"Rui Rui, I've thought about it and decided to grow vegetables. It's easier. If we raise animals, we're not at home every day. How are we going to feed them at noon? It's not worth it if they starve to death. Let's just grow vegetables."

Wu Ruirui thought about it and agreed with Li Meng's words. He rushed to the captain's house to ask who had seeds.

Seeing Wu Ruirui running away like a gust of wind, Li Meng smiled and went straight back to her room to look at the dressing table that Sister Hong brought over. She took a rough look at it but didn't look at it carefully.

Just as Li Meng was carefully studying the dressing table, Li Wen came back after delivering the tables, chairs and benches.

"What are you doing here? There's nothing good about this," Li Wen looked at his sister who was circling the dressing table in confusion.

"Brother, don't talk. This is an old item. It will be valuable in a few decades. I'm looking for the secret compartment." Li Meng knocked here and there, and from time to time he put his ear close to it and listened carefully.

As expected, hard work pays off. Li Meng discovered an inconspicuous secret compartment. He couldn't help but get excited and carefully pried open the edge of the secret compartment.

"Oh my god!" Li Wen exclaimed, what did he see?
