Shen Hongyu was scolded all over and almost got angry. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She looked at Lu Xueping in a flattering way: "I was just about to tell you, you asked me to make you a pair of bell-bottom pants. I just went to grab these for you. There are so many people buying them now. The whole floor of the department store is full of people buying these. I almost had a fight with someone to grab two pairs. Look, do they look good?"

Lu Xueping usually likes to wear new clothes and buy new shoes. She snorted coldly and looked over with a squint, "Is this a new model?"

"It's the latest model. There are only ten pairs in total. I bought it." Shen Hongyu hurriedly showed herself off and said how hard it was for her. "You don't know, the department store is so crowded right now. I almost got into a fight with an old woman when I was trying to grab this new model. She said she waited for two weeks just to buy two pairs of these pants."

Shen Hongyu's face flashed with pride when she said this, "But I snatched the last two. I quietly ripped her clothes off and accused her of being a hooligan. She was busy packing her clothes and didn't snatch them from me."

Lu Xueping's face became a little better. She loved dressing up in new clothes. She took it and tried it on herself. "Does it look good?"

"It looks good! You have a slim waist and long legs, it looks especially good on you and you have a lot of elegance, just like a model at fashion week." Shen Hongyu, who came from the 21st century, said without hesitation. She had the memory of several decades later, and she had more ways to praise people than others, and she simply praised them to perfection.

"What is Fashion Week?" Lu Xueping asked suspiciously.

Shen Hongyu immediately clapped her hands and said, "I was just saying that. You look really good in this."

She couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. It was a close call. She almost got exposed.

In order to prevent Lu Xueping from continuing to pursue the term Fashion Week, Shen Hongyu thought for a moment and flattered her, "Xueping, you look really good in this. If Luo Lin sees this, he will definitely ask you to find someone."

Good guy, it would have been fine if she didn’t mention Luo Lin. As soon as she mentioned this, Lu Xueping was furious. She was flattering the wrong person.

Lu Xueping threw her bell-bottom pants on the table, her eyes red as she questioned Shen Hongyu, "You're still talking about Luo Lin, Shen Hongyu, you want to see me lose face on purpose, right?"

"What's embarrassing? What's wrong with me?" Shen Hongyu was stunned and answered with a bewildered look on her face.

Lu Xueping was so used to it that she almost started a fight. "You are still playing dumb here. Why didn't you tell me that Luo Lin has someone he likes, that he likes Lin Minjun! Don't tell me you didn't know. You have been together in Yunnan Farm for so many years. Are you blind that you don't know?!"

Lu Xueping was furious and of course spoke rudely.

Although Shen Hongyu tried to curry favor with Lu Xueping, she was not completely without bottom line. Given her personality, she was about to quarrel with Lu Xueping, but at this moment Shen Hongyu was completely stunned. Her mind was blank. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

Lu Xueping had a sly expression on her face. "Tell me, are you dumb? Or do you want to embarrass me on purpose?"

Only then did Shen Hongyu find her voice again, her expression blank: "You said Luo Lin likes Lin Minjun? Is it the Lin Minjun I know?"

"Who else is called Lin Minjun?! It's the Lin Minjun who was in love with my brother and then dumped him!" Lu Xueping screamed and almost went crazy!

Shen Hongyu slowly lay down on the table, feeling dizzy and almost fainting.

How is it possible! How could Luo Lin like Lin Minjun! Doesn't he have eyes? Doesn't he know that Lin Minjun is just a village girl, with no education, no family background, and except for a pretty face and good cooking skills, what else does she have?

How could Luo Lin like Lin Minjun and even want to marry her?

In a trance, Shen Hongyu thought of the time before her death in her previous life when her ex-husband said sarcastically that Lin Minjun was destined to enjoy a good life and be a rich wife, while she was destined to end up with nothing.

Thinking of this, Shen Hongyu felt her teeth itching with hatred. What was the basis for this?

She felt that the jealousy that was about to drown her had returned. After living her life over again, Lin Minjun could not become Lu Deping's wife, but would become Luo Lin's wife. Her life was so good!

But why can't she become a rich wife? She wants to snatch Lu Deping away and enjoy wealth and glory!

Shen Hongyu came back to her senses when she heard Lu Xueping's angry roar.

In fact, she looked down on Lu Xueping, a brainless person, but after her rebirth, she tried to get close to Lu Deping, but nothing came of it.

To make matters worse, after Lin Minjun exposed her last time as a whistleblower, Lu Deping looked at her as if she were the murderer of his father. He wanted to raise his fist to beat her up and warned her not to target Ah Jun again.

Oh, could Shen Hongyu give up so easily?

Since Lu Deping couldn't be approached, Shen Hongyu simply started to praise Lu Xueping and let Lu Xueping introduce her to Lu Deping's partner. This was also a solution.

So she hurriedly explained to Lu Xueping: "I didn't, I wish you were with Luo Lin, how could I deliberately want to see you embarrassed?"

"You are talking nonsense. Then why didn't you tell me that Luo Lin liked Lin Minjun?" Lu Xueping was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Shen Hongyu was speechless. "How do I know that he likes Lin Minjun? When we were at the farm, Lin Minjun was still dating Deping. How do I know that Luo Lin would like her?"

"I've heard from those educated youth that when they were in Yunnan, Luo Lin often helped her fetch water and ate the meals she cooked. Are you two using your eyes to vent your anger?" Lu Xueping became more and more impolite.

Shen Hongyu wanted to explain, but Lu Xueping wouldn't listen. She just wanted to get angry and vent her anger. She treated Shen Hongyu as a punching bag and scolded her.

Shen Hongyu was holding back at first, but when she saw Lu Xueping going too far, she got furious and blurted out, "Then why are you bothering me? Luo Lin doesn't like me. If you have the guts, go and find Lin Minjun and tell her to get out of here and go back to Yunnan. Stop seducing men here."

She accidentally blurted out her truest thoughts.

What was even more terrible was that Lu Xueping was not angry anymore. She stopped and looked at herself in disbelief. Shen Hongyu swallowed nervously.

Lu Xueping suddenly reacted, "You want to use me as a raft to help you get rid of Lin Minjun? Don't think I don't know that you are afraid that Lin Minjun will reconcile with my brother, and you want to use me to get her out?"

Disdain appeared in her eyes, "You have so many thoughts!"

Shen Hongyu endured for a long time, clenched her fists to prevent herself from getting angry, and simply admitted, "Yes, I do want her to get out, but I'm not using you, we're working together. Think about it, she stole your Luo Lin and my De Ping, we're a united front."

"How can she be worthy of Luo Lin? Luo Lin was seduced by her first. Sooner or later, he will realize that it is best for him to be with you." Shen Hongyu added.

This pleased Lu Xueping, and because of the united front, Lu Xueping was no longer angry. "We are in the same boat. You are right. I have to find a way to get rid of Lin Minjun."

She immediately put down her new clothes and started thinking seriously.

Shen Hongyu was full of ideas. "You have to listen to me about this matter. Let's do this..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Xueping interrupted him with a look of dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by listening to you? I am not as smart as you?"

Shen Hongyu: "..."

What a brainless bastard, what do you think?

But she held back and said, "No, you are much smarter than me. What do you think I should do?"

"I haven't thought of this yet, but there must be a way." Lu Xueping said confidently, "People like us don't need to get too excited and argue with a peasant like her. I have a way to make her miserable and leave North City on her own."

"Well, you can do it." Shen Hongyu said with a wooden face.

In fact, she was screaming in her heart, "What can you do? You can do it! And you are so ashamed of yourself. What can you do?"

She didn't think Lin Minjun would be so ashamed of herself. Although the woman looked weak on the surface, she was actually very stubborn.

Shen Hongyu was not optimistic about Lu Xueping's so-called plan, but they were just plastic sisters after all, so she said nothing.

Shen Hongyu brought it up, "By the way, Xue Ping, didn't you say before that if I got you a pair of bell-bottom pants, you would help me arrange a meeting with De Ping?"

"Look how anxious you are. Are you so impatient?" Lu Xueping glared at him. "You didn't even tell me that Luo Lin liked someone else. I lost face like that. And you still want me to help you make an appointment with De Ping. Let's talk about this later."

Shen Hongyu was lucky enough not to get into a fight with Lu Xueping. She kept telling herself in her heart, this is Lu Deping's sister! Don't fight!

Maybe this is the case of "everything has its own strengths". Shen Hongyu thought she was very smart, but unfortunately she ran into a hottie like Lu Xueping.

Oh, she feels so aggrieved.

…

Not to mention that Shen Hongyu was intent on instigating Lu Xueping to do bad things, let’s talk about Lin Minjun.

That day, Luo Lin suddenly confessed his love and said that he wanted to date someone. After Lin Minjun rejected him, Luo Lin said that he would not give up easily and would persist until the day Lin Minjun agreed.

He did exactly that.

From that day on, whenever Luo Lin was free, he would come over to sit with him, sometimes to have a bowl of rice noodles, sometimes to help clean up.

Lin Minjun said helplessly: "Luo Lin, aren't you going to take the college entrance examination? Instead of studying, you come to my place to serve tea and water. Is it worth it? I said, I won't get married and I don't have a partner. Go away."

"I always come here after I finish reviewing." Luo Lin felt shy and embarrassed at first, but later he figured it out. When it comes to chasing girls, if you want to save face, you can't get your sweetheart. If you want your sweetheart, you have to give up your face. He decisively chose his sweetheart.

Luo Lin carried the plate and went to wash it with a habitual look on his face: "We can't study like this every day. We have to relax sometimes. I come to your place to relax. Don't feel embarrassed. Just think of it as helping me."

He had said so, and it was impossible for Lin Minjun to just drive him away with a cold face. After all, she and Luo Lin had been friends for many years, and even if they couldn't be a couple, they had to continue to be friends.

Lin Minjun couldn't chase him away, nor could she say anything harsh, so she could only ignore him.

The two of them were in a stalemate, which made Lu Xueping very angry. The man she couldn't get turned out to be a handyman in Lin Minjun's eyes.

Luo Lin didn't come that day, so Lin Minjun breathed a sigh of relief. As usual, she entertained guests, counted the bills, washed dishes, and also found time to clean up the store.

It was just a small shop of only a dozen square meters, and because the business was good, Lin Minjun was busy all by herself. She was also thinking in her mind that after paying back Yan Lige's money, she would have to hire a helper. If she continued like this, she would be exhausted. It was too tiring.

When they get sick from overwork, they have to go to the hospital and spend money, and the store will close and they will suffer a lot of losses. Compared with these, the money paid to the workers is nothing.

It was afternoon, past dinner time. Just after seeing off one table of customers, another came in. Lin Minjun was standing behind the counter counting the bill when suddenly another person came into the store.

"Hello, what would you like to eat?" Lin Minjun asked subconsciously.

As she spoke, she raised her head to prepare to entertain him, but suddenly she was stunned for a moment, "Lu Xueping?"

The person who came was actually Lu Xueping, Lu Deping's sister. What was she doing here?

She didn't come alone, but brought three or four girls with her. All of them were dressed very decently and were city girls.

Lin Minjun guessed that Lu Xueping came out to eat, but they had not had a pleasant relationship before, and she would probably leave when she found out that she was the owner of this shop.

Thinking of this, Lin Minjun said nothing and waited for her to take people away.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xueping stood at the door of the store and deliberately greeted, "Isn't this Lin Minjun? What are you doing here?"

Lin Minjun: "I own this shop."

Lu Xueping's tone was meaningful. "Oh, you opened it. It's not easy. We who have jobs can't compare."

She spoke in a sarcastic tone and smiled meaningfully at the other girls while she spoke.

Although she said she had a job, in fact, Lu Xueping only relied on her mother's help to get her a part-time job in middle school.

The other few people were basically her little sisters, so of course they understood what she meant and started to chuckle as well, their laughter was very meaningful.

After a mocking laugh, Lu Xueping folded her arms and looked at Lin Minjun, watching her leisurely, waiting for her to reveal an envious expression, but after waiting for a long time, she only saw Lin Minjun looking at her with surprise.

Lin Minjun thought she was crazy and was confused. "Are you going to eat or not? If not, don't stand at the door and block my business."

"You!" Lu Xueping was so angry that she almost stomped her feet.

This is not right. Lin Minjun is from the countryside. Why shouldn't she be jealous of these city girls who are dressed up brightly? Shouldn't she look at them with envy, then be ashamed of herself, pack up her things and get out?

Lu Xueping has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She thinks she is naturally superior to others. She is not the same kind of person as Lin Minjun, so she cannot understand.

Seeing Lin Minjun shouting to chase her away, Lu Xueping was not convinced and had evil intentions again. She wanted to give Lin Minjun a good beating.

"Okay, let's have two bowls, and use your signature dish." Lu Xueping said in a bossy tone, and led the people into the store. When they walked to the table and were about to sit down, they suddenly shouted, "Oh, your stool is not clean, and there is dust!"

In fact, it’s not dust, but fluff that fell from the roof. It’s just a coincidence that it only fell from that place.

Lin Minjun took a look, said sorry, explained, wiped it with a rag, and then went into the house to cook rice noodles for them.

Lu Xueping sat down with everyone and was quiet for a while. Suddenly, she turned to the kitchen and saw Lin Minjun putting pickled cabbage in the pot. She suddenly asked, "What is this?"

"Pickled vegetables, a Yunnan specialty." Lin Minjun was really annoyed with her and said impatiently.

Who knew that Lu Xueping would scream in surprise the next second, "Look, what kind of pickled vegetables did she put in there? They are pitch black and look dirty. They smell sour. How can they be delicious?"

"Why do you Yunnan people like to eat this kind of food? Really." She pinched her nose deliberately and fanned it pretentiously. "Your kitchen smells so bad. How can the food you make be delicious? I really can't stand it. How can anyone like to eat this kind of food?"

At this time, the little sisters she brought with her also arrived at the kitchen door and looked inside through the glass. They didn't have formal jobs either, but they wanted to flatter Lu Xueping and get some credit from her.

Of course, we have to follow Lu Xueping's lead at this time. Someone immediately agreed, "That's right. Country people are not decent. What kind of food do they eat? It's not dirty, but it's not rubbish. Who still likes to eat this? Do you know what "good taste and color" mean? Have you ever eaten at Huguo Hotel? That's a proper meal. What the hell is this?"

None of Lu Xueping and the group of people she brought with her had ever tried the rice noodles from Lin Minjun's store, but they all said they were unpalatable.

There were still customers in the store. They were slurping their food happily, but after they treated them like that, they couldn't even eat their meal.

As for Lin Minjun, facing Lu Xueping's rudeness and bad manners, she could pretend not to see it and treat it as the barking of a dog. After all, she knew that Lu Xueping was a brainless person.

But she brought people to trample on the food she cooked, and Lin Minjun couldn't stand it. She held a wet rag in her hand and wanted to throw it at her face.

Lu Xueping stood at the kitchen door with her arms folded, looking at her with a smug look on her face, as if she was waiting for her to lose her temper and embarrass herself.

Lin Minjun suddenly calmed down. She suddenly realized that getting angry at such a malicious person was falling into her trap.

She doesn't get angry. She uses straightness to solve crooked problems. That's the best way!

Lin Minjun took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and asked, "Lu Xueping, are you looking for trouble on purpose? Because I don't date your brother, because you begged me to cook for you and help you with your work last time, but I didn't do it, so you hold a grudge, and you brought people to cause trouble for me today?"

Lu Xueping's smile froze.

The author has something to say:

This is a 5,000-word version, so it's considered a two-in-one. There will be more this afternoon.

Thank you for your concern. I am much better now. I think I have no symptoms. So I will resume updating as normal.
