Chapter 325: Dezi Jumped into the River
After Shen Meng finished speaking, the Yu Family was dumbstruck, as arrogant as they were just a moment ago, they were now equally fearful. The elder sister-in-law of the Yu Family was now looking at Shen Meng, her body shivering uncontrollably.
"Shirley, is, is what she said true?"
"It’s true. I owe my good life to Xiao Meng. She has been single-mindedly devoted to ensuring that us women comrades can live well regardless of our circumstances. She’s always been working hard, and knowing that I was getting engaged today, she came over specially to help me cook. She brought Jinghao, Lianhua, Xifeng, Uncle Guai, and Aunt Juying with her. They are my true family now. If you still want to keep your jobs, you better leave quickly. If you come to make trouble again, you might even lose the chance to work."
The Yu Family looked at Shen Meng again, and seeing her seemingly smiling but not smiling expression, they were scared witless, especially Mr. Yu, who nearly fainted from fear, thinking back on what he had just said to Shen Meng.
When Yu Guang saw Shen Meng looking at him, he ran as fast as his legs could carry him, not even thinking to take his parents and wife with him.
After he ran off, his wife quickly followed suit. After the door of the courtyard slammed shut, Mr. and Mrs. Yu staggered away. Mrs. Yu, still not giving up, asked around and only then found out that everything they had said was true.
The old couple were so frightened that they tumbled and scrambled away, never daring to come provoking again. Who would have thought that the person wrapped in an apron was the official they wanted to ask for backdoor favors?
Shirley returned to the main room with slightly flushed cheeks, and Aunt Qian patted her on the shoulder.
"There now, child, it’s all right. Let’s eat. Today is a big day of joy for you and Chengwang, we all should be happy. Just look, the workshop supervisor from the Head Flower Factory is picking vegetables for you, the team leader is tending the pot, the director’s assistant is butchering the chicken, and the Secretary General of the Revolutionary Committee of Ning County is cooking for you. Who among this table of guests could match your stature."
With that remark from Aunt Qian, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
