Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 646: Chapter 646 Mooncake has arrived (2/5)

"I asked directly, so cut the crap, Zhenzhen. We’ve lived together for so long, shouldn’t Chenchen trust me of course? But... you didn’t even suspect that Qiuhe might be the one who ratted me out. Seems like Tianhua and I guessed right, you and Qiuhe really did start arguing because of me, huh."

Mei Mengzhen said with a smile, "Yes, and no."

"I know you have a good memory. You should remember what needs to be remembered. Tell me about what happened just now."

Mei Mengzhen had no choice but to tell Tianyu exactly what had happened just before. After finishing, Mei Mengzhen said, "Actually, it doesn’t really count as an argument. It didn’t even start yet. I just couldn’t be bothered to engage with her, so I spoke the way I did. If I had approached it differently, maybe it wouldn’t have happened, but what’s said is said. I don’t regret it and it doesn’t matter anymore. In the future, I’ll be too lazy to pretend to be nice to them, and I’m happy to relax."

Mei Mengzhen wasn’t very concerned about the argument between them, but Tianyu caught on to the important point in her words, "This means... you’ve started to eye my money, right."

Before Mei Mengzhen could speak, Tianhua answered for her, "That’s right. She’s got her eye on your money."

"My money is just as much a target, isn’t it? Didn’t you mention the money I’ll make from acting? The little amounts of open money don’t mean much to them, but they definitely won’t be short on the movie salary. Qiuhe understands that very well."

Tianyu was frustrated and scolded, "Have these people fallen into a well of money? If they don’t have money, why don’t they earn it themselves instead of always coveting someone else’s?"

"If they could earn it, would they need to covet your money?"

Tianhua couldn’t stand these people – shallow and not hardworking, just trying to deceive the whole world out of their money with their words. But who would let them deceive? Everyone isn’t a fool. Only Yinan, with a sense of blood-related kinship, would be willing to help a little. If it were anyone else, who would offer assistance?

While they were upset about this matter, it still needed to be resolved. The Fan siblings weren’t worried about anything else but that someone from the Mei Family might show up unannounced, and then Qiuhe, seeing no one backing up the siblings, would start making false accusations. Concerned, Tianyu said, "I’ll check if there are any flights later, I might as well come back first."

Mei Mengzhen panicked, "Don’t! Are you comfortable leaving Sister Tianhua there? She’s in an unfamiliar place, and there’s chaos from the disaster. I’m fine here, and I won’t lose in a war of words."

"I’m not worried about you losing a war of words. I’m worried that if your aunts come early, you’ll be done for after Qiuhe makes her report. What can you and Chenchen, two kids, really handle?"

Tianhua said solemnly, "I’d better go back then. Isn’t mom also coming? If mom and I return together, we’ll definitely be able to protect Zhenzhen and her brother."

It’s not that Tianyu didn’t trust Yinan – even his mother had her moments of confusion. He saw things clearly; his mom would unconditionally protect Mengchen, but Mengzhen’s treatment wasn’t guaranteed. Even if she was protected, it was questionable whether she would still be subjected to some unfair treatment.

"You don’t have to worry. If worse comes to worst, I just won’t stay with these people. It’s not like I don’t have a home. Could my aunt possibly bring these people to my place?"

That indeed wouldn’t happen. Yinan really wouldn’t do such a thing. If she did, it wouldn’t be a case of confusion but outright stupidity. His mother wasn’t that foolish.

"Besides, they won’t come over early, because Brother Mengcheng has left and there’s no one to pick them up. There aren’t any buses from Xincheng to Jiangcheng after they finish work. So, they’re certain to come the next morning. If you guys hurry back non-stop, you could actually get home before them."

Mei Mengzhen calculated the time. It took two days from Jiangcheng to Nancheng and Mengcheng and his group had already been on the road for a day and a night. By all accounts, they should arrive tonight, rest, and return home tomorrow, which would mean arriving Friday night or Saturday morning. If her party travels on Saturday morning, wouldn’t that be just in time? "But it’s going to be tiring."

"It’s okay, we understand. If they come early, don’t be afraid. I’ll come back and settle the score for you."

"Alright, I’m going upstairs."

After hanging up, Mei Mengzhen got out of the driver’s seat and then opened the rear door, using her mind to take out 20 large boxes of mooncakes and 20 gift bags. Holding them in her hand, they didn’t feel particularly heavy, so she used her mind to take out another 30 bags. With a total of 50 bags, it was a bit hard to carry, so she first delivered half to the elevator lobby, then fetched the other half. After that, she went upstairs to her home.

But it wasn’t until she entered the elevator that she realized her mistake. Why had she gone to the parking garage to get mooncakes? Her home was right upstairs and there was no one there – transporting the mooncakes would have been so much easier. There was no need for her to go to the parking garage. It was a complete blunder.

Mei Mengzhen brought the mooncakes up to her master bedroom in three trips. The empty space in the master bedroom was quickly filled with boxes. Mengchen was astounded, "Sister, there’s so much! Did you carry this all up yourself? You should have asked for Chenchen’s help."

"It’s not heavy. You forgot how strong your sister is. Plus, I brought it all up in a few trips."

Mengchen approached the pile of mooncakes and asked, "Are we going to eat all these ourselves?"

"We can’t eat so many mooncakes; they are too sweet. We’ll keep some for our family and distribute the rest. Right, you haven’t had a mooncake yet, Chenchen. How about I open a box for you to eat?"

Mengchen immediately nodded his head, "Sure."

Mengzhen opened a box of mooncakes. The mooncakes were a mix of regular and crispy crusts. She handed a crispy mooncake over to Mengchen and then asked, "It’s quite big, can you finish it, Chenchen?"

"If it’s tasty, I can finish it." After saying that, Mengchen handed the mooncake to her, "Let’s share half with sister."

Mengzhen smiled and replied, "No need, you eat. I’ll open another one for myself. They’re sweet, just remember to brush your teeth after eating, okay?"

"Okay." Mengchen eagerly tore open the packaging and took a bite. Nobody could resist a crispy mooncake, and after just one taste, Mengchen loved it, "Sister, this is so delicious."

"Your sister loves this flavor too." Mengzhen said, and she also opened a mooncake, while at the same time sending a message to Yiran and Keke with her cell phone, "The mooncakes have arrived. Come pick them up tomorrow."

However, the three of them couldn’t wait until tomorrow. After a brief discussion, each of them bought some late-night snacks and they all went to knock on Mengzhen’s door.

When Keke, Yiran, and Fu Rui appeared at her doorstep with late-night snacks in hand, Mengzhen hadn’t expected them. When all three of them brandished their snacks, it took her by even more surprise.

As soon as they saw Mengzhen, they didn’t wait for her consent, instead, they just walked in, put the takeout on the coffee table, and started looking for the mooncakes.

Yiran asked, "Where are the mooncakes, the mooncakes? Where are the crispy mooncakes?"

"They’re in the bedroom."

Yiran didn’t wait for her, and, in fact, everyone bypassed her and headed straight for the bedroom door. What they saw upon entering was Mengchen slowly nibbling on a mooncake with a bin nearby, and a small pile of mooncake gift boxes behind him.
