Shen Yu has to go back to the provincial capital tomorrow, and tries his best to persuade Meng Tao to go with him and come back with his grandparents in a few days. Meng Tao disagrees, saying that she has things to do, and her brother Jinniu at home will be worried.

Shen Yu said that he would send her back to Linshui Village first, and then he would leave from the village to the provincial capital tomorrow. Meng Tao refused: From Mengzhou to Linshui Village, she took a bus for five or six hours one way, and Shen Yu would drive back again, wouldn't it be even more tiring? She couldn't bear to let him go.

His fiancée knew how to cherish her fiancée. Shen Yu was moved and happy. His heart softened into water. He didn't want to leave even more. He hugged his beloved girl tightly in his arms, wishing time would stop.

But no matter how slow the time is, it will still pass by little by little, and a new day will come as expected.

Reluctant to leave, Meng Tao handed Shen Yu a pot of water and a canvas bag of apples and pears, which were stored in the space so they could be eaten on the road.

There was a sack of fresh fruits and vegetables in the back seat of the car, as well as two jars of Director Shen's favorite pickled cucumbers and tomato chili sauce.

The space has already filled up a cart with ingredients. Shen Yu said that they are pushing for the delivery very quickly, but it cannot be done as they wish. If they ship the goods too frequently, it will easily reveal flaws.

We have to wait a little longer. These things are one-of-a-kind and hard to find in heaven and earth. We have to whet their appetite and let them compete to raise the price before we let them go.

He also told Meng Tao that this business could only last for one or two years at most and then it would have to stop, because those who could eat these things were not ordinary people. They not only had dog noses, but also extraordinary wisdom, not to mention that some of them were good at magic and fortune-telling. This was not fantasy, it really existed. While enjoying these precious ingredients, they would trace back to their sources at all costs.

We don't have enough strength on our own, and even if we borrow the power of all parties to block it, we can't hold on for too long. As the saying goes, there are only thieves who last a thousand years, but there is no one who guards against thieves for a thousand years. There will always be a time to relax. In order to avoid trouble, it is best not to get entangled with such people.

He repeatedly reminded Meng Tao to be careful when visiting the black market. She could just stroll around for fun, but she was absolutely not allowed to sell things on her own.

Meng Tao was like a primary school student, nodding her head as she listened to his nagging, but her fingers were fiddling with the buttons of his coat.

Shen Yu: “…”

His fiancée was obviously being perfunctory and not serious, and he was helpless. He could only accept his fate and worry about it himself.

Shen Yu asked Meng Tao: "We are getting engaged in Linshui Village. Meng Zhehan should have returned to the provincial capital from the capital. We should invite him, right?"

Last night he told his fiancée that Meng Zhehan was Meng Shaoan's nephew, as well as the situation of the Meng family in Beijing. His fiancée didn't react much at the time, but he wanted to confirm it now.

Meng Tao nodded: "You should. In fact, I know Meng Zhehan and I recognize him as a person. It has nothing to do with the Meng family behind him. He only represents himself. Don't talk to me about Meng Shaoan. Then we can still be like before - I am just Meng Shengli's granddaughter, and there will be no change."

Shen Yu supported and agreed, he also hated Meng Shaoan.

After seeing Shen Yu off, Meng Tao packed up and prepared to go back to Linshui Village, but Aunt Wang came to tell her: I forgot to tell you before, the street office came to collect the water and electricity bills twice, and she was not here both times. Please ask the person who collects the water and electricity bills to tell the street office when you come back that you have to pay the bills.

Meng Tao thanked Aunt Wang and went to the street office.

As soon as she entered the gate of the street office, she met Director Yao. Meng Tao wondered what a coincidence.

Director Yao was very happy: "Xiao Meng, it's great that you came! I was just thinking of taking some time out these two days to visit your home. Come on, talk to Sister Yao."

Meng Tao said, "Director Yao, I'm here to pay the water and electricity bills."

"The water and electricity bills are inevitable, so don't worry!"

"What's the matter? I just want to ask you one question: What does your current boyfriend, who is so tall and strong, do for a living?"

Meng Tao: “…”

Director Yao is really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. Her Shen Yu is tall and handsome, okay?

"Director Yao, that's my fiancé, we are engaged."

"You haven't told him what he does for a living or where he works."

"He is a state cadre and his unit is located in another place."

"Out of town? That means it's very far away? We only see each other twice a year?"

"It's not that difficult. He's just in the provincial capital."

"Hey! Isn't the provincial capital far away? Xiao Meng, listen to me, don't think that the provincial capital is so good. You don't have a job, and you will be a burden there. Men will get tired of it. Living apart from each other is the hardest for women, especially after getting married and having children. It's really bitter. You don't know because you are young. I have seen a lot of such things!

"Before you get married, Xiao Meng, you should think about it again. For example, Xiao Su that day, how good are his conditions? He will be transferred back to Mengzhou soon, and he is able to arrange jobs for his family. I think you and him are the best match. What do you think? How about asking him to come today, and we can meet and have a good talk?"

“That’s not necessary.”

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Director Yao, they say it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. Why do you think the other way around? My fiancé and I have a good relationship and we like each other. We will definitely not live apart after we get married, so you don't have to worry about it. I still have to pay the water and electricity bills. Goodbye."

Meng Tao left immediately after she finished speaking. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that she would have a grudge with Director Yao.

Director Yao was left standing there, his smile gradually turned cold: "What's so great about you, country girl? You just have a good appearance, otherwise who would bother with you?"

Director Yao's face fell when he thought about how he boasted that he could definitely find a suitable marriage partner for Su Mingshi, the only son of the Su family, but he failed to find one after a whole year of searching. It was okay for him to be blamed by the Su family's parents, but his son's position was promoted by others. What if they were unhappy and took away his position? Alas, it was also Su Mingshi's fault that he was too picky. He had to find a top-notch beauty with a good figure, black hair, fair and delicate skin, and no flaws. He also had to pay attention to temperament, and his speech, behavior, voice, and smile must be pleasing to him... How difficult it was! No wonder he didn't get married after he turned 30 despite his good family conditions.

But it was hard for Old Yao. He had been looking for more than 30 girls in the past year, but none of them caught his eye. How big was Mengzhou City? How many beautiful girls could he choose from? Finally, Meng Taohua appeared, but Su Mingshi was too busy to come back at that time, and Meng Taohua was not often in the city, so he put it aside for the time being. On the sixth day of the New Year, the Su family had a dinner party, and she went. Su Mingshi sent her home, and originally intended to turn to Xingzi Lane to see if Meng Taohua was there. Unexpectedly, when they met halfway, Su Mingshi was immediately attracted to her, but Meng Taohua had a fiancé...

After Su Mingshi met Meng Taohua that day, he had a stern face and didn't say a word. Su's mother called early this morning and asked Director Yao to inquire about Meng Taohua again. If the man's conditions are average, give him some benefits and ask them to break up... But looking at Meng Taohua's attitude, it might be difficult.

Director Yao walked into the office with a sigh, thinking that after work he would take some time to visit Meng Taohua privately in Xingzi Lane.

Meng Tao didn't have time to wait for Director Yao to come. After paying the water and electricity bills, she went home, took Xiao Wangcai, and went directly to the bus station to take the bus back to Xingyang County.

The recent updates have been slow, so the author would like to come out and apologize: I’m sorry, little fairies!

I'm working hard on typing, and things will return to normal!
