Meng Fuyan twitched her lips.
"I won't do anything illegal!"
Wan Yinyin shrugged. "Then there's nothing we can do."
Seeing that Meng Fuyan wasn't eating, Wan Yinyin asked, "Are you worried that the food has been drugged? Don't worry, you're already here, there's no need to drug you. It's late, eat early and get some rest!"
Meng Fuyan glanced at it. Regardless of whether it was clean or not, she didn't really want to touch other people's things, since she already had her own.
Besides, she wasn't hungry.
"I'm not hungry right now. You said they're going to sell me abroad. When will they sell me?"
Wan Yinyin shook her head. "I don't know, but it shouldn't be too long. After all, it costs money to feed so many people. The sooner we act, the sooner we can have peace of mind."
Meng Fuyan understood. She had been missing for several hours. By now, Gu Tingzhi must have known. She had left something on the way, and they should be able to find it out, right?
That letter would directly pinpoint Wu Guozhu. Given Gu Tingzhi's temperament, he wouldn't fail to get information out of her; he would definitely know which route she was taken away from.
As long as we catch up, it won't take too long.
tonight?
Or, tomorrow?
Meng Fuyan wanted to go out and take a look, but she was still somewhat wary of Wan Yinyin in front of her.
"Is this your residence? Judging from your clothes and appearance, you must have a high status here, right? Is that Brother Kun you mentioned the boss here?"
Wan Yinyin nodded, "Yes! He has more than one woman, but I am the most favored one and I live in the best place."
Meng Fuyan glanced at the house and commented, "This isn't all that great! It's not even as nice as the place I live at home! Is your brother Kun not doing well?"
Wan Yinyin rolled her eyes. "Isn't this good? This is already considered a very good house in the north. There's a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and a brazier inside, so it's not that cold. Look, I'm even wearing a skirt. Although it's a thick one, it's still much slimmer than a cotton-padded coat. I can just put on a mink coat when I go out. If this were an ordinary family, they wouldn't dare to go out in winter because it's so cold."
"I can eat refined grains here every day, can you do that outside?"
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "Compared to ordinary people, of course you're doing well. I just think you're different! Your business has expanded overseas, so you must have a lot of influence! Shouldn't you be living a life of luxury, in fine silks and luxurious houses?"
Wan Yinyin chuckled but didn't say anything.
Meng Fuyan smiled and moved closer to her. "Hey, sister, here, is it only you who can eat refined grains, or is it that most people can? Grain is hard to come by these days. Even with ration coupons, it's difficult to buy a lot of refined grains. Where did you come from? Do you have your own farmland? Or did you buy it from abroad?"
Wan Yinyin glanced at her, looked her up and down, and curled the corner of her lips. "Little sister, are you very curious about them?"
Meng Fuyan laughed and said, "Of course! I've already been captured by you, and I can't escape now, so I have to take a good look at my current situation!"
"Tell me about it!"
Wan Yinyin looked at her for a while, smiled with her red lips, and actually told her, "If I want to, I can eat fine grains every meal. As for Brother Kun, needless to say, he often eats fish and meat. The other people with higher status are also quite rich, but most people don't have that kind of treatment. They can definitely eat their fill, but they can't eat all fine grains. But the people here are definitely richer than ordinary people, do you understand?"
Meng Fuyan nodded. "Where did you get so much food? If I stay, will I be able to eat refined grains every day from now on?"
Wan Yinyin's smile deepened. "Brother Kun has land under his control, and we cultivate our own fields, so of course we have plenty of grain. You... when you go abroad, it's not just fine grains, it's all about bright lights, wine, and lavish meals!"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
She snorted, "I was just asking out of curiosity, why are you being so sarcastic? Whether I can stay or be sent somewhere is not something I can decide, and it's not like I'm going to take your job."
Wan Yinyin gave her a meaningful look, then lowered her head and said nothing more.
Meng Fuyan looked around the room. There were still voices outside. She looked out the window. There were many houses around, some good and some bad, but this area was relatively better. Most of them were brick and tile houses. She had secretly peeked in when she came in. This place was quite big. It should be a relatively large stronghold. There were several vehicles. Maybe there were not only people, but also granaries!
"Sister, where are the girls who were trafficked with me being held? Are they all living a miserable life?"
Wan Yinyin leaned against the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), covered with a quilt, reading a book in her hand. Upon hearing this, she replied casually, "Look out your window, there's a row of houses, and behind those houses are several courtyards. Behind the courtyards is a large cellar. Those girls are most likely locked up there."
"There's nothing inside, except some firewood for warmth. If you're hungry and cold for a long time, you'll behave!"
Looking out the window, Meng Fuyan did see a row of houses, and it seemed there were courtyards behind the houses, but she couldn't see much of them.
I had never been here in my past life, so I had no idea about the layout of this place.
After watching for a while, Meng Fuyan stopped watching. Although it was dark, it wasn't late at night yet, and the people here were still awake, so she couldn't move around at all.
If it gets late at night, we can simply drug this woman and she can go out and investigate.
Seeing that she had stopped looking and had obediently sat back down on the kang, Wan Yinyin glanced at her and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you curious anymore?"
