Chapter 42 It'll drive you crazy



In the house across the street, Meng Fuyan was still unpacking packages.

Next, the fourth package was the smaller one, sent from Sun Jian's home.

A bale of cotton is enough to make a cotton-padded jacket, a few pieces of fabric, all in different colors and of decent quality, and about four pounds of blended wool yarn, all in military green, a common and popular color at that time.

Then there were five kilograms of rice, five kilograms of cornmeal, a bag of sandwich biscuits, and two cans of malted milk powder.

For someone who isn't a close relative, these things are already quite good.

The last package sent by Lu Jianjun was much more substantial.

There was plenty of cotton, enough for Meng Fuyan's cotton-padded jacket, plus a set of cotton-padded clothes for Meng Yunji, about five jin of yarn, including two jin of high-quality wool yarn, a thick blanket, ten jin of rice, five jin of flour, a bag of cornmeal, a large bag of dried sweet potatoes, two thick hats (one large and one small) for wearing in the north, four cans of malted milk powder, a bag of milk powder, a bag of beef jerky, a bag of pork jerky, a bag of melon seeds, a bag of brown sugar, and a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, weighing about two jin.

Then, there was a women's military-style overcoat, very thick, with lamb's wool lining, which was especially windproof and would definitely keep you warm.

In the pocket of the military overcoat, there was a stack of coupons: ten jin of national grain coupons, three jin of meat coupons, sixteen industrial coupons, and finally a box of cold medicine and a box of fever reducers.

It can be said that it covers all aspects.

With these things, plus her own luggage, regardless of whether she brought enough, these things were enough for her to get through the winter with her younger brother.

And they can live a very comfortable life.

This is probably what love is!

The person who loves you will worry about you not doing well, and be afraid that they are not giving you enough. Even if in everyone else's eyes she is a rich person who doesn't need to worry, in Uncle Lu's heart, she is just a little girl who was bullied by her biological father and stepmother and sent to the countryside, and she has to take care of her younger brother and needs to be taken care of by others.

Meng Fuyan took out the items one by one and put them away. In the courtyard outside the door, Wu Siyu and Wu Meixiang were already spitting fire with jealousy. They had been here for so many days and had sent telegrams and letters home. Of course, they had also received the letters from home and were completely clear about the situation at home.

Everything in the house is gone. Even the houses of my maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents were robbed. My richest uncle had all his property stolen. Even my mother's house was robbed. They have nothing left.

It's been so long, and they haven't received anything from home. How are they going to get through this winter?

The Yuan family also fell from power, and they all suffered so much, yet Meng Fuyan still lived a very good life.

Why?

Why is it that no matter what they do, Meng Fuyan always lives so well? Her mother is dead and no one is protecting her anymore, yet she still lives the life of a pampered young lady. They were pitifully sent to the countryside, but the next moment, they themselves suffer the consequences.

Why? Why is this happening?

Wu Siyu and Wu Meixiang were screaming inwardly, wishing they could rush up and take all of Meng Fuyan's things for themselves, but they knew that wouldn't do.

Wu Siyu took a deep breath and spent a while mentally preparing herself before finally suppressing her anger. She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, ready to use her status as the older sister to ask Meng Fuyan for something. But just as she was about to speak, Meng Fuyan's voice rang out from the other end.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen this kind of thing before? Weren't you so arrogant before? All those girls, brandishing your teeth and claws, claiming to be the factory director's daughters? What? Didn't your families send you any winter supplies?"

Wu Siyu and Wu Meixiang blushed with anger and remained silent.

Meng Fuyan deliberately looked them up and down with her eyes, then laughed mockingly, "Tsk tsk tsk! I thought they loved you so much, but it seems they're nothing special! Aren't your parents quite capable? Can't they even get a little bit of winter supplies? If they're not capable, they should just stay in the countryside. Why did they have to run to the city and pretend to be city people? Now look what happened, they've been exposed for what they really are, haven't they?"

"From now on, you should just be a good village girl, honestly farm the land, and stop daydreaming all day long. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

“You…” Wu Meixiang was so angry that she cried. She was already young, and with so many days of grievances, she was about to break down. Now, when Meng Fuyan mocked her like this, she burst into tears on the spot.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Don't you dare cry in front of me, it's bad luck! Get out of here!"

Wu Siyu's face darkened. "Sister, do you have to go this far? We are sisters after all..."

"Shut up!" Meng Fuyan cursed. "Shameless thing, who said you're my sister? Don't you know how you got here? You shady characters don't deserve to be compared to me. I feel disgusted just looking at you. Get out of here, or don't blame me for continuing to beat you up."

Wu Siyu's face twisted instantly, her eyes turning as dark as a venomous snake, ready to crawl out and bite Meng Fuyan at any moment.

Seeing Wu Siyu like this, Meng Fuyan was quite happy.

She knew Wu Siyu was about to break down. It was good that she was about to break down; if she couldn't, she would be more impulsive, and the more impulsive she was, the more likely she was to take the wrong path, and the easier it would be to clean up the mess.

"Aren't you going to get lost?" Meng Fuyan stood up angrily, looking like she was about to rush up and beat them up at any moment. Wu Siyu stared at Meng Fuyan for a while, sneered, grabbed Wu Meixiang, and turned to leave.

Watching Wu Siyu's departing figure, Meng Fuyan felt that her provocations over the past few days should have worked. "Hurry up and go crazy, so I can deal with you all and have a peaceful winter."

Xu Jing, who had been watching the whole thing, smiled and said to Meng Fuyan after everyone had left, "Were you deliberately trying to provoke them?"

Meng Fuyan sneered and said indifferently, "What do you mean by 'deliberately'? We've never gotten along. Given my past grievances with them, this attitude is normal, okay? Do you expect me to call them sisters?"

That makes a lot of sense, but Xu Jing just doesn't believe it.

Based on the past grievances between Meng Fuyan and them, they could indeed never see each other again. However, after observing them these past few days, he felt that Meng Fuyan was deliberately provoking them. According to his judgment, the three siblings had been provoked enough and would probably retaliate next.

He had to be careful. He didn't know how strong this girl really was. His boss had told him to take care of her, and he couldn't let anything happen to her.

After the person left, Meng Fuyan put the important items from the package into her spatial storage, and marked some of the items before taking them into the mountains.

There are still many women and children digging for wild vegetables, picking mushrooms, and looking for edible mountain products in the surrounding area. Hardworking people always take every opportunity to find food.

Meng Fuyan did not linger on the outskirts, but went straight into the deep mountains to the place where she had watered the spring water the last time. It took her more than three hours to get there.

This place is deep in the mountains, rarely visited by people, and no one dares to come here. Meng Fuyan looked at it from afar, and that place was completely different from the surrounding area.

In this weather, the surrounding area has begun to turn yellow, but this one place is lush with green grass, exuding vitality, and you can smell the faint scent of grass in the air. For small animals, this is simply a paradise.
