Meng Fuyan touched the wound on her head; it was time to change the dressing.
"Yeah, I got hurt and was so tired that I slept in a bit. Have you had breakfast yet?"
Meng Yunji nodded, "I've already eaten. I was going to make you some breakfast, but I burned the vegetables, so I went to the state-run restaurant and bought some. Your portion is still warming up in the kitchen!"
So good!
Meng Fuyan got up, washed up, and changed her dressing.
Looking at his sister's head injury, Meng Yunji asked worriedly, "Sister, should you see a doctor for your injury?"
Meng Fuyan reassured him, "I've already seen a doctor, it's nothing serious, I'll be fine in a few days."
She went to the kitchen for breakfast, then came back to pack the last of her luggage before taking Meng Yunji downstairs.
Once inside the courtyard, Meng Fuyan put down her luggage and said to her younger brother, "You stay here and watch over things; I forgot to take something."
Meng Yunji stayed obediently in the courtyard, while Meng Fuyan went back into the house.
She simply emptied the entire house.
All the wardrobes, boxes, including the bed, various appliances, and even the clothes and shoes of those people were taken away. Although she didn't wear them, she could sell them for money!
The three-story building had the Wu family living on the first floor, while the second and third floors were her and her brother's territory. This was what her mother had requested back then, and Wu Guozhu had no choice but to agree.
Besides the master bedroom, there is a large study on the first floor. The remaining two bedrooms are for the four children to share.
The third floor is vacant.
The kitchen is separate.
When Meng Fuyan first married into the family, Zhang Guifang did covet her large room, but was Meng Fuyan someone to be trifled with?
She was the eldest daughter and had been a wolf cub since childhood, especially after her mother passed away and her stepmother came into the family, when she was on high alert all over.
The first time they were testing the waters, they sent their youngest stepsister to deliver the message. Meng Fuyan was waiting for this moment, remembering her mother's teachings: the first battle must be won.
So, Meng Fuyan beat her stepsister up on the spot, scratching her face, and then ran to her eldest sister Wu Siyu's workplace and cursed her for three days and three nights.
It really was three days and three nights!
She skipped school and specifically took leave to go and scold her.
Words like "ungrateful wretch," "burden," "shameless," "delusional," and "usurper" were all used to berate Wu Siyu, leaving her utterly humiliated.
Unfortunately, her boss was someone whom Old Master Meng had once promoted, and he wouldn't allow her to take leave. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and come to work, enduring Meng Fuyan's relentless barrage of questions in front of everyone every day.
My eyes are all swollen from crying!
Meng Fuyan is so shrewd. If she scolds her stepmother, some people might say she's ill-mannered, since she's an elder, but if she scolds her stepmother's older sister's child, no one will say anything to her.
Meng Fuyan later rushed to her father Wu Guozhu's office and cried, demanding that Wu Guozhu kick his stepmother's family out.
Even if Wu Guozhu is angry, what can he do?
Even if those four children are his biological children, would he dare to admit it?
He dares not!
With so many factory leaders watching, it's understandable that you'd marry a stepmother after your wife's death.
It's understandable that a stepmother would bring along a child from a previous relationship; after all, it's just a girl, and she'll get married after a few years.
However, it's incomprehensible that the stepmother brought in her sister's three adult children.
These outsiders now want to bully the legitimate heir of the Meng family? Do they think all of Meng Lao's former subordinates are dead?
So, the matter ended with Wu Guozhu paying Meng Fuyan 100 yuan in compensation, and each of the three children paying Meng Fuyan 5 yuan a month in rent.
Meng Fuyan became famous overnight, and from then on, those people became much more obedient.
It was this incident that made Wu Guozhu fully realize Meng Fuyan's ability to cause trouble, and he remained fearful for a long time afterward.
Later, there were still some minor incidents, but no more big ones. After all, Meng Fuyan was too outspoken, often making a scene and never putting up with anything.
Zhang Guifang was forced to sign Meng Fuyan up for the rural assignment, partly because she felt Meng Fuyan had become too powerful after giving birth to triplets.
She had fought with her stepmother and her group of people this time, and if there hadn't been so many of them and her mouth hadn't been covered, she wouldn't have suffered such a big loss.
Recalling her glorious achievements in her youth, Meng Fuyan laughed out loud.
But then, a pang of sadness struck.
Having lost her mother at a young age, this pampered young girl tried her best, but all she wanted was to hold onto what was rightfully hers.
After clearing out the entire villa, Meng Fuyan went to the kitchen in the backyard.
Next to the kitchen was a cellar containing over two thousand catties of grain and various vegetables, which Meng Fuyan took away entirely. She also took the pots and pans, two stoves, some coal briquettes and firewood, and even the two iron pots from the kitchen.
Although people will be moving in later, she's asking for very low rent. Since the house is so nice, she won't provide any tools; they can bring their own.
To avoid leaving anything behind, so that those shameless Wu family members won't come and demand it again.
After clearing out everything from the house, Meng Fuyan looked at the empty house and felt extremely happy!
I wonder if her good father will faint from grief when he discovers that he has lost half his life's fortune!
She took one last look at her home, then turned and left.
Carrying her luggage and walking with her younger brother in the family compound, Meng Fuyan was noticed by a neighbor. She said, "I have to catch the train early tomorrow morning. I'm going to mail some of my luggage first, otherwise I can't carry it all by myself."
The neighbors looked at the delicate Meng Fuyan, sighed, and said some nice things.
"Write to us when you get there!"
"Once you have a job, your Uncle Lu will definitely arrange one for you. You'll be able to come back soon."
...
After listening to these words, Meng Fuyan left the family quarters.
I first went to the black market to inquire about the bracelet, but unfortunately, there was no news about it.
She had checked everything that had been looted from the house and confirmed that the bracelet was not there. If the bracelet wasn't in the house, it should have been on Wu Siyu at the time, but she didn't have it either. Perhaps it really was stolen!
Helpless, Meng Fuyan could only have someone continue to inquire before leaving with her younger brother.
Meng Fuyan first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell her bicycle.
There's a good market for secondhand bicycles, and the supply and marketing cooperatives not only have secondhand bicycles, but also secondhand clothes.
Second-hand items don't require a ticket.
Meng Fuyan sold her car for seventy yuan. Since it was still early, she asked her younger brother, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
The little guy thought for a moment and said, "Sister, we won't be able to use our food coupons when we go to the Northeast. Let's spend them all and buy grain to take with us."
There are many types of food coupons, some local and some national, with military food coupons being the most useful.
Meng Fuyan had some local grain coupons, as well as many national grain coupons.
When her mother passed away, she received a large number of tickets, all kinds of tickets. She spent three years on them but didn't use them all. She even exchanged some of the soon-to-expire tickets for new ones at a low price. She still has quite a few left.
The subsidy coupons issued to those who signed up to go to the countryside were from Northeast China, as well as national grain coupons.
