Chapter 139 No One Behind



Qi Mengmeng let Su Mei take the thing from her hand. She shook her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Su Mei, this thing is for you."

"Okay, leave this to me. Don't worry. With the relationship between Su Meng and Li Zhuang, I will definitely not cheat you." Su Mei lowered her voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

At least he smiled, nodded at her, and left.

Su Mei's colleague Guan Qing came over immediately and helped her carry her things: "Meizi, let me help you. Oh, these beautiful sheets, leave one for me."

"These are all ordered by others." Su Mei put the things down and let out a sigh of relief: "These things are from Beijing, and they are all loved by young girls and wives."

Guan Qing glared at Su Mei and whispered, "Why do only young girls and wives like it? I like it too. With our relationship, you must leave one for me."

"This is a four-piece set. In addition to the bed sheet, there is also a quilt cover and two pillowcases. The price is not cheap."

Now an ordinary double printed bed sheet costs eight yuan and forty-five cents plus five feet of cloth coupons, plus the sheets and pillowcases, not counting the cloth coupons, it would cost thirty or forty yuan. This price is not affordable for an average family.

When Guan Qing heard this, she asked, "Can we sell them separately?"

"No." Su Mei shook her head. "Of course, things like this are sold in sets. If you want to buy them, wait until there are defective items next time and pick up a good one. There is really no need to buy things like this."

This set of four pieces cost more than their monthly salary, mainly because it required too many cloth coupons.

"I don't want to buy it. Can you open it and let me have a look?" Guan Qing looked at the plastic bag on the four-piece suit and touched it: "This bag is better than the ordinary ones."

In fact, the four-piece set is packaged in the most common transparent plastic bag. Although there are fewer of them now, they are still available, so Qi Mengmeng dared to give it to Su Mei with confidence.

Su Mei also wanted to see whether the four-piece set that Qi Mengmeng brought was the same as the one given to her sister, so under Guan Qing's persuasion, she agreed to open it and take a look.

Since there was no one around at the moment, the two of them took the four-piece sets out of the bag and spread them out on the counter.

Both of their eyes lit up. The stitching of the four-piece suit was obviously very neat and the colors were bright.

Guan Qing touched the cloth and couldn't help saying, "Su Mei, if you don't have the cloth coupons, can you sell it to me at a lower price?"

Su Mei didn't expect Guan Qing to like it so much, but the thing was not hers, so she could only ask for fewer cloth coupons and the price definitely could not be cheap.

"You're not planning to use this expensive thing yourself?" Su Mei put away the four-piece set first before asking Guan Qing.

Guan Qing certainly wanted to use it herself, but she couldn't bear to part with it. She sighed and said, "Such a good thing, I really want to use it myself, but you know, my family will definitely not be willing to part with it."

"I want to leave a set for my daughter. She's dating someone and is planning to get married at the end of the year. If she has a set of four-piece suits like this, it will definitely be a great honor."

"You are so willing to do that." Su Mei knew that she loved her daughter, so she smacked her lips but didn't say anything.

"But these are reserved by others. I'll give them to you next time I have them."

"No," Guan Qing pulled her arm, "You have to leave one set for me first. My daughter is getting married at the end of the year, which is only a few months away. Given our relationship, you have to leave one set for me."

Su Mei had no choice but to agree to Guan Qing's suggestion and ask the people who had been selected first. If there was anyone who was not in a hurry, she would give her a set.

Guan Qing felt more at ease. Su Mei couldn't help but say, "You are spoiling your daughter too much. If there were no cloth coupons, the price would have increased a lot."

Guan Qing smiled bitterly: "I can't give my daughter a job. I'm already treating her badly by just buying her some things."

Su Mei knew that every family has its own problems. She sighed and said nothing more. She quickly put away the things on the counter, thinking about giving the things away after work, and calculating how much she should sell them for.

Qi Mengmeng gave the things to Su Mei and felt much more at ease. Seeing that there was still plenty of time, she went to the bookstore to see if there were any books that could be used now.

But most of the books in the bookstore were red books, none of which Qi Mengmeng could use. So Qi Mengmeng bought some paper and pen and prepared to go back.

She found an opportunity to take out some of the wool she had bought and hung it on the handlebars of her bicycle.

When passing through an alley, I was hit by a person rushing out from inside.

"Ouch." The young woman screamed and fell to the ground. Qi Mengmeng felt that the voice was a little familiar and looked to the side.

The young woman quickly picked up the basket and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Qi Mengmeng recognized it as Li Pandi's voice.

"There." A voice came from behind. Li Pandi quickly put the things scattered on the ground into the basket, glanced at Qi Mengmeng, and then wanted to run to the side.

Qi Mengmeng grabbed her and said, "Get in the car. I'll take you."

Li Pandi jumped on the bicycle without hesitation.

Qi Mengmeng got on the bicycle, her feet sending out sparks as she rode very fast.

Several people ran out of the alley and saw only the back of a bicycle. They chased for a few steps but failed to catch up, so they had to go home.

Qi Mengmeng rode her bicycle and quickly left the city. Li Pandi pulled her clothes from behind and whispered, "There's no one behind us."

Qi Mengmeng didn't hear the sound and kept riding forward until Li Pandi patted her hard, then she noticed.

After stopping the bike, Qi Mengmeng immediately felt her legs like noodles. She held on to the bike and gasped for breath.

Li Pandi stood beside Qi Mengmeng, with her head lowered, looking like she had done something wrong.

Qi Mengmeng panted for five minutes before she felt better.

Li Pandi was wearing the patched clothes she had worn when she first came to the family compound. The basket in her hand was covered with a rag and her hair was tied up. She looked like a young rural wife, not at all noticeable.

"I'm going back to my family compound. Are you coming back with me?" Qi Mengmeng asked.

Li Pandi looked up, her face full of astonishment: "Sister, you don't blame me?"

"I have no right to blame you, but today's incident was too dangerous. If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid you would have been caught."

Qi Mengmeng is very self-aware. She has no relationship with Li Pandi. If they meet, saving the other person is a piece of cake for her, but disciplining the other person is not something she has to do.

Li Pandi's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she explained, "Sister, those people wanted to steal my things, I, I didn't do anything bad."

Qi Mengmeng nodded, seeing her uneasiness, and reminded her: "Your brother-in-law is a soldier. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid it will implicate your sister and brother-in-law."

Li Pandi was nice to her, so since she saw it, she had to remind her.
