Without her home, Meifeng had no place to stay.
She only had five dollars left, which she had to save for buying daily necessities until school started.
Meifeng stuffed the admission letter into her inner clothes, keeping it close to her skin. This was the most valuable thing on her body and her only bargaining chip for a complete transformation.
In this way, Meifeng wandered aimlessly on the street, and when she was tired, she squatted in front of the restaurant to smell the food.
"That's not right. I still have Jianjun. Since he slept with me, he has to be responsible for me. He can't just pull up his pants and deny it." Meifeng was like a possessed person, repeating this sentence as she walked.
She didn't know where Jianjun's house was, but she knew which alley it was in, and she didn't believe she couldn't find the answer by asking every household.
Maybe God had mercy on her, because the first house she knocked on was Jianjun's. At that time, Jianjun was happily having a reunion dinner with his parents and grandparents.
"You beggar are really picky. You came right after the meal started. Here, here, here. Take it and ask for more somewhere else."
Jianjun's mother impatiently stuffed a leftover steamed bun into Meifeng's mouth.
Her son's return was a happy occasion, so she didn't want to make a fuss. She just gave him something to eat and that was it. Getting food from her on a normal day was almost impossible.
Meifeng is not stupid. If she accepted the steamed bread, she would be a beggar at best, but if she entered Jianjun's family, she would be a daughter-in-law.
"Aunt, I'm not a beggar. I'm a military candidate. My name is Meifeng."
Jianjun's mother frowned. Are scammers' networks so wide these days? Her son had just returned home and they were already showing up.
"You are so hungry, girl, why are you talking nonsense? Here, I'll give you another one. You'd better stop while you're ahead and don't be too greedy." Jianjun's mother gave Meifeng another steamed bun with a dark face.
"Aunt, I'm really Jianjun's girlfriend. You can't deny it because we've both slept together. I want to ask you, does Jianjun have a brown birthmark on his thigh? There's a black mole above the birthmark, and there are two white hairs on the black mole. You said that only the rich and powerful have it, so you don't let Jianjun remove it."
Afraid that Jianjun's mother would cheat, Meifeng made a loud noise, and many neighbors came out to watch the fun.
Jianjun's mother clenched her fists.
She repeatedly warned Jianjun not to reveal her home address, for fear that her daughter-in-law from the countryside would come to her on her own initiative.
What you fear will come to you. As soon as Jianjun entered the house, his annoying wife came to find him.
She swore in the alley that Jianjun definitely had no girlfriend and was still single, and asked everyone to introduce him to a girl if they knew one.
Jianjun's mother seemed to have put Meifeng in the role of Jianjun's wife.
Seeing Jianjun's mother's furious face, the neighbors who were not on good terms with her began to mock her, "Hey, Jianjun's mother, why didn't your daughter-in-law come back with your son? Do you think she's too country girl to be considered presentable? But it's true. If my son were to marry such a down-to-earth country girl, I would kill myself by smashing my head against a piece of tofu."
"Auntie, I grew up in Beijing and was a junior high school classmate of Jianjun. I'm not the country girl you described. I dressed so dirty because I'm afraid that thieves on the bus might steal my things. After all, I have my acceptance letter from the university with me." Meifeng showed the admission letter, which she treasured like a treasure, in front of everyone, making the auntie furious.
College students!
College students are really hot commodities these days.
Tuition and accommodation are free, and there's a five-yuan monthly stipend, but if you live frugally, five yuan is enough to get by. Wealthier families send a little extra each month, so it's easy to add meat and vegetables or go out on the weekends. After graduation, the government assigns jobs, and those with rural hukou can transfer to urban hukou. Those who land a good job will even be allocated housing.
When Jianjun's mother heard that Meifeng was admitted to university, her attitude immediately changed.
As long as she is not her son's original wife, it doesn't matter who she is.
Previously, she thought that only someone who worked in a factory was worthy of Jianjun, but now with Meifeng as a reference, the minimum standard is to be a college student.
As a result, Jianjun's mother's rejection of Meifeng was not so obvious, and she even spoke up for Meifeng.
"That's right, what do you know? Do you think everyone is as flashy as you? If you dress so ostentatiously, you deserve to get robbed one day."
"Daughter-in-law, let's go. We can't stay with these sour grapes. It's easy to get infected with their petty mentality."
Jianjun's mother took Meifeng's arm and went back to the house. As soon as she closed the door, she let go of Meifeng's hand and said, "College students should also pay attention to hygiene. Look at you, you are so dirty, like a beggar."
Jianjun's mother did not hide her dislike for Meifeng at all.
"Mom, please hurry up, the food is getting cold." When Jianjun heard the sound of the door closing, he thought it was his mother coming back, and spoke in a very stiff tone.
"Your Majesty, your mother was born to clean up your mess. Now that your woman outside has come, you have to deal with it yourself." Jianjun's mother said angrily.
Jianjun was terrified when he saw the newcomer. Seeing Meifeng still wearing the clothes she wore on the train, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "How did you find this place?"
"How dare you say that? I'm your wife. You should have brought me here instead of letting me come here myself." Meifeng's temper flared up when she saw Jianjun.
"Bah, where did you come from, little girl? How dare you talk like that? You say you are my grandson's wife without any matchmaker or engagement. You are so shameless." An old lady with a mean look hit Meifeng with chopsticks.
Meifeng closed her lips and stared at Jianjun motionlessly.
Jianjun felt guilty and quickly came out to smooth things over: "Grandma, we'll talk about our business later. Let's eat first."
"Where are my dishes?" Meifeng held Jianjun's hand, and her attitude was no longer as humble as it had been at the beginning. The worst that could happen was just being kicked out, so getting a free meal before that was a win.
