Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Let her spend the rest of her life in jail
Liu Mianmian had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt refreshed and ready to go hunting tigers. After washing up and going to have breakfast, Aunt Liu smiled and said that she had made wontons for her this morning. Liu Mianmian happily thanked her.
"Oh my, she's apparently quite sweet-talking, but why does she always speak so harshly in front of her parents-in-law?" Aunt Liu muttered.
Liu Mianmian pretended not to hear and quickly walked into the restaurant.
Acting all day was too tiring, so she decided to adopt a staccato performance method, letting her perform intermittently depending on her mood. This way, they wouldn't think her personality had drastically changed, but would just think she was just that moody. Gradually, when she stopped acting, they wouldn't find it strange.
Shen Weizhuo, who always gets up early, was still eating breakfast.
When Liu Mianmian saw him, she remembered the beating she received yesterday... He had indeed just slapped her away, but for her it was still a beating and the pain was quite high. She thought about it, rolled up her sleeves and took a look. It was still a little red, but not as scary as it looked last night.
Shen Weizhou, who caught a glimpse of her movements, said: "..."
He glanced at the slightly lighter red and pursed his lips slightly.
Liu Mianmian snorted in dissatisfaction.
This guy, even if he didn't mean to, at least he hit her, and he didn't even say sorry.
But thinking about how he lay quietly on her half of the bed every day and never disturbed her, and then thinking about his body that seemed to be golden on the outside but was actually rotten on the inside, Liu Mianmian decided not to argue with him.
The wontons made by Aunt Liu have thin skin and tender fillings, and the soup is also filled with thinly cut bean curd sheets, which is very delicious.
While eating, Liu Mianmian asked Aunt Liu what she was having for lunch. Aunt Liu was amused. She was still having breakfast, but she was already thinking about lunch. She was really like a child. She smiled and said, "I bought shepherd's purse this morning. Oh, it's so fresh and tender. You've already had wontons, so you don't need to make dumplings. How about making shepherd's purse and egg pancakes? They're delicious and fragrant too."
Liu Mianmian expressed her satisfaction. She had eaten dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse, but had never eaten shepherd's purse egg pancakes. However, it sounded delicious. She told Aunt Liu that she had something to do at noon and needed to eat early. Aunt Liu agreed with a smile.
Shen Weizhou glanced at her.
Outside the window, a few elderly women from the alley came to chat with Aunt Liu. One woman mentioned that Jiangbei Village on the other side of the river was hosting an ancestral worship ceremony and had generously invited the famous provincial opera troupe's actress Fan Wenfang to perform that afternoon. The elderly women immediately became excited and discussed taking a boat to see the performance.
Although it is said to be on the other side, the ferry actually runs once an hour, which is very convenient. If you come back early, you will have enough time to make dinner.
Shen Weizhou heard the others urging Aunt Liu to join them. Aunt Liu, perhaps worried about him, hesitated. He stood up and went to the window. Just like in his previous life, he told Aunt Liu that he had to go to the research institute that afternoon and that the institute would send a driver to pick him up. He told her not to worry about going to the other side to watch the show.
Liu Mianmian's voice came from behind: "I plan to go out for a walk this afternoon. Anyway, no one is home. It's such a rare opportunity. Aunt Liu, why don't you go?"
Shen Weizhou lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the coldness in his eyes.
Sure enough, Liu Mianmian also encouraged Aunt Liu to go to the theater just like in her previous life.
But she didn't just want to go out for a stroll, she wanted to steal things from the house and elope with someone.
At 4:25 in the afternoon, there was a train from Nancheng to Shenzhen. In her previous life, she and her lover took this train to the south.
After they both said this, several neighboring aunties urged them even harder. Soon, Aunt Liu hesitantly agreed: "Then I'll prepare the dishes for dinner first. If we're late, we won't be afraid of being too late."
Now the only hesitant person has made up his mind. The aunts became even more excited and chattered about the classic plays that Fan Wenfang is good at.
After the two finished their breakfast in the restaurant, one went into the study and the other went into the east wing.
Liu Mianmian walked into the room, opened the suitcase in the corner and put it on the ground. She first touched the envelope in the interlayer and felt the bulging and heavy feeling inside. She couldn't help but curl her lips.
Then he took out all the clothes from the suitcase and spread them on the bed.
Before, she only had more than 90 yuan on hand, so naturally she couldn't have extra money to buy clothes. But now that she has 2,000 yuan, Liu Mianmian feels that she doesn't have to force herself to wear the original owner's clothes that are so different from her aesthetic taste.
Moreover, she had inquired and found out that there was a second-hand store two blocks away where she could sell these clothes. This way, she could make some money back without wasting money.
Liu Mianmian picked and chose, and finally only kept some underwear and three sets of clothes. The underwear was cut up to use as rags, and the three sets of clothes were enough. Even if she couldn't buy clothes that suited her, the weather was almost here.
She found a bag that originally contained bedding, packed the clothes she wanted to sell into and stuffed them under the bed. She then put the half-empty suitcase back into the corner and leaned back into the chair.
Okay, I'll wait until I get home from get off work at noon and drag them out to sell them, then use the money from selling the clothes to go shopping in the department store.
In the yard, after a few aunts discussed what time to meet in the afternoon and what to bring, the topic turned to the newlyweds of the Shen family.
Some were curious about whether Liu Mianmian was easy to get along with, some were curious about the relationship between the two, and some were even curious about whether Shen Weizhuo was "capable" and when the Shen family would have a grandchild... People of this age basically don't care about food or meat and dare to say anything. If Liu Mianmian heard it, she, a little yellow man, would turn into a little red man on the spot and blush.
Until Aunt Cao curled her lips and started to sing the same old tune again: "Xiao Shen is really at a loss to marry such a wife. If you had told me earlier, I would have introduced Xiao Shen to someone who is good-looking and has a good job. It's nothing like the one he has now. Just look at her. She will definitely have to ask her family for money every month."
The other people were embarrassed and didn't say anything, secretly cursing Lao Cao for being so tactless.
Scolding the new daughter-in-law in someone else's yard is a good thing. It's only when Professor Shen and Director Yu are not around that the new daughter-in-law is scolded. Otherwise, no matter how polite the new daughter-in-law is, she would have chased him away with a broom.
Besides, with the Shen family's background, is it difficult to arrange a job for the new daughter-in-law? It is probably because they just got married and there is no rush to do this.
As for Yueyue spreading her hands and asking her family for money, could the Shen family care about this little money?
It’s just that Aunt Cao is always talkative and difficult to deal with, and the others don’t want to provoke her for other people’s affairs, so they can only keep silent.
What they didn't expect was that Aunt Liu, who was always smiling and never got angry, suddenly threw the vegetables she was washing back into the basin and said, "Sister Cao, if you want to say this again in the future, don't come here!"
Aunt Cao's expression froze, and she stood up with a whoosh: "Oh my, I just feel sorry for Xiao Shen. It's true that kindness doesn't get rewarded. If you don't want to come, then don't come."
The others hurriedly tried to persuade both sides, saying that it was time to prepare lunch, and then they took Aunt Cao away.
Behind the half-open window of the study, Shen Weizhuo watched several aunties tugging and pulling each other out of the yard. He also saw Aunt Liu wait until they were far away and out of sight before she spat and muttered something angrily.
He couldn't help but curl his lips, shake his head and sigh, and he didn't even dare to spit in front of others.
However, this elder has a gentle personality and is always kind, so it is rare to see her so angry.
I didn't expect that after just a few days of getting along, she would actually defend Liu Mianmian like this.
Shen Weizhuo stood in front of the window for a while, watching Aunt Liu busy in the yard. After a long time, he reached out and closed the window.
The side door of the study leads to the hall, and on the other side of the hall is his parents' bedroom. His father firmly believes that a gentleman should be cautious and not deceive others in secret, and since everyone in the yard is his family, he never locks the bedroom door.
Shen Weizhuo walked into the bedroom with an iron box and a few thin pieces of paper in his hand.
Stealing one's own property, even if caught red-handed, likely wouldn't last long in jail. But stealing confidential research data was a different matter. The papers he had prepared were solutions to a confidential research project at the Nancheng Institute of Physics, written by combining his knowledge of weapons and equipment from another world with China's current research capabilities.
As long as these are found on her, she will not be able to explain them even if she talks a lot.
After all, why would ordinary people be interested in such things?
Judging from the importance of this information, it is enough to make her spend the rest of her life in prison.
After everything was arranged, Shen Weizhuo walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.
His finger paused on the door, hesitating for a few seconds, and the girl's bright smile in the midday sun flashed before his eyes.
But almost at the same time, the phone seemed to ring rapidly again. A voice on the other end of the line mechanically repeated, "Ms. Yu was in a car accident, Ms. Yu was in a car accident." Faintly, this voice overlapped with the hoarse growl of the zombies and the sharp screams of the monsters...
Shen Weizhou closed his eyes and turned around.
