"Come and help me quickly!"
"Yes, yes, it's coming!"
Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan worked together to wash away all the disgusting stuff.
The water pipes were put away, and Yu Meiren, who had gone to a meeting, returned.
She guessed what had happened, but she wasn't angry. She closed the shop door and led everyone upstairs.
Yu Meiren acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled, said a few words, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.
Ling Ziqian couldn't contain himself any longer, so he followed them into the kitchen.
Yu Meiren was humming a song while washing the dishes.
"What did they talk about in the meeting?" Ling Ziqian asked.
"They were complaining, everyone was complaining all at once, then the director of the neighborhood office nodded and said he would handle it, and then everyone came back," Yu Meiren said casually.
Ling Ziqian was speechless. "Isn't this just a perfunctory response?"
Yu Meiren nodded. "That's right. Everyone knew it was just a perfunctory response, so they all left dejectedly and went back to their shops."
Ling Ziqian panicked, "Then what? What do we do?"
"What do you mean, what should we do?" Yu Meiren looked at Ling Ziqian. "If they come asking for money, just give it to them. It's only five hundred yuan."
"But this is robbery, we shouldn't give them a single penny!"
Yu Meiren laughed and nodded with a smile, "That's right."
"Since you know that, why are you still doing this?" Ling Ziqian asked, puzzled.
"Why?" Yu Meiren stretched out her wet hand and pinched Ling Ziqian's cheek. "Because I'm your sister, the pillar of the family. You're still too young to take on the responsibility of this family."
Is that right?
Ling Ziqian didn't believe that he had any "ambiguity value" and was incapable of doing anything!
Yu Meiren saw through Ling Ziqian's thoughts, so she increased the pressure in her hand and pinched Ling Ziqian's cheek hard.
Ling Ziqian winced in pain, looking at Yu Meiren with confusion.
"Kid, don't do anything that worries me." Yu Meiren's expression was very serious. "There's a saying that goes, 'It's easier to mess with the King of Hell than his minions.' They outnumber us and have the upper hand. Unless we kill them all, they'll keep bothering us!"
"But we can't let them do whatever they want, can we?"
Yu Meiren nodded. "That's right, that's why I gave them money. It's only five hundred yuan. Giving it will settle things peacefully and allow us to continue living our lives quietly. If I don't give it, the final loss will be more than just five hundred yuan."
Yu Meiren released Ling Ziqian's cheek and sighed, "That's life. Sometimes you have to swallow your anger and live a stifled life."
Ling Ziqian suddenly felt very sad.
From childhood to adulthood, Yu Meiren has always taken care of her. How much hardship, how much exhaustion, how many times has she swallowed her anger, and how many times has she felt resentful?
The more Ling Ziqian thought about it, the more unwilling he felt!
"Standing up for me?" Yu Meiren saw through Ling Ziqian's thoughts and smiled. "You're just a little kid. When you're ready to take care of me, then you can make sure I'm not wronged and can live happily ever after!"
Ling Ziqian blushed immediately upon hearing her words.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Let's leave it at that." Yu Meiren smiled and patted Ling Ziqian's head.
“Um…” Ling Ziqian became embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Yu Meiren asked Ling Ziqian, puzzled.
“Before, that…” Ling Ziqian was speechless. “On the phone, he said he kicked someone, but actually he kicked their balls off. They definitely won’t let that go…”
Upon hearing about the egg being kicked and burst, Yu Meiren laughed so hard she nearly fell over.
"It doesn't sound like you kicked it. Who was it, Qiaoyan?"
"No," Ling Ziqian said awkwardly, "It's Huan Yue..."
"Oh, cousin, you're amazing!"
Ling Ziqian had a dark face; he wasn't tough at all, but rather reckless.
Yu Meiren didn't care about this matter and just kept saying that she would pay compensation.
As the two were talking, a commotion arose outside.
Ling Ziqian and Yu Meiren left the kitchen and went to the balcony.
It wasn't the cake shop that was damaged, but a fruit stand on the street not far away that was vandalized.
The people who smashed the fruit stand were none other than the group that collected protection money!
Yu Meiren, who had been insisting on giving money, was furious upon seeing this scene!
"Those bastards!" Yu Meiren's eyebrows shot up, and she seemed to be going berserk with rage.
She turned and went downstairs, quickly running towards the smashed fruit stand.
Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan quickly went downstairs to follow.
The fruit stall was run by an old woman. It was her first time setting up a stall on this street, and she never expected to run into people collecting protection money.
The other party immediately asked for two hundred yuan, but the old woman refused, so her fruit stand was smashed.
The apples and pears fell to the ground and were all ruined; they can no longer be sold!
The old woman shouted "Bandits and robbers!" but she couldn't stop the group of vicious men.
Many people were watching, but no one offered to help.
In this situation, Yu Meiren appeared, angrily shouting, "Are you even human?"
Those people ignored Yu Meiren, so Yu Meiren took action directly.
She strode over and kicked those fierce-looking men!
Those people never expected that the beautiful poppy would be so fierce!
Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan rushed over, worried that Yu Meiren would be at a disadvantage, and joined the fight.
The three of them worked together and quickly beat the thugs into running away with their tails between their legs.
"You're from the cake shop, aren't you? You just wait!"
"Fine, I'll wait!" Yu Meiren was furious.
Ling Ziqian looked at Yu Meiren, increasingly unable to understand this guy. He said that just now, and now he's doing it.
"Life's lessons can't be explained in just a few words." Yu Meiren grinned at Ling Ziqian. She turned around, picked up an apple from the ground, and smiled at the old woman. "How much are the apples? I'll buy them all."
The old woman hurriedly waved her hand, "They're all broken, we can't sell them."
Yu Meiren chuckled, "I just happen to love eating rotten apples!"
Seeing this, the people around were filled with admiration for the poppy.
Shen Qiaoyan nudged Ling Ziqian with her shoulder and giggled, "Master, Sister Beauty is so nice."
Chapter 269 What was her past like?
Ignoring the old woman's objections, Yu Meiren picked up a bag of fruit from the ground and stuffed a bright red banknote into her hand, urging her to leave immediately.
Back home, Yu Meiren took the fruit into the kitchen, cut off the damaged parts, and made a fruit platter to serve.
Shen Qiaoyan, Cupid, and Huan Yue ate fruit without a care in the world.
Ling Ziqian looked at Yu Meiren with concern.
That girl said before that the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but his underlings are hard to handle. Isn't she afraid of being haunted by underlings now?
Not long after, a commotion arose downstairs, and a dozen or so thugs gathered over.
Yu Meiren immediately dialed the police.
The police car arrived quite quickly. It came from afar with its siren blaring.
By the time the police car arrived, the dozen or so thugs had already vanished.
Not seeing any thugs, the police asked a few simple questions and then turned and left.
The thugs reappeared as soon as the police left.
Shen Qiaoyan gritted her teeth and shouted that the police and the thugs were in cahoots!
Everyone can see that.
A dozen or so thugs were banging on the door of the cake shop, shouting all sorts of nasty things.
Ling Ziqian, his face dark, wanted to go downstairs, but Yu Meiren stopped him.
"Everyone, let's go to the room and play!" Yu Meiren gestured for everyone to enter the room.
Cupid and Phantom Moon obediently entered the room, and Shen Qiaoyan also followed suit.
But Ling Ziqian didn't leave. He sat on the sofa with Yu Meiren, worried that Yu Meiren might do something foolish.
"There's nothing I can do." Yu Meiren smiled sheepishly and reached out to pat Ling Ziqian's head. She then picked up her phone from the coffee table.
They found a number and dialed it. Yu Meiren leaned comfortably against Ling Ziqian.
Ling Ziqian didn't push her away, but let her lean against him, and listened carefully to who she was talking to on the phone.
A moment later, the call connected, and a woman's voice came through, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Is this Sister Wu?" Yu Meiren asked lazily.
"You are..." The other person's voice sounded somewhat puzzled.
"It's me." Yu Meiren's voice was a little childish, which gave Ling Ziqian goosebumps all over.
However, the other party could not recognize Yu Meiren's voice.
Yu Meiren could only answer like this: "I am Xiao Mei!"
An exclamation came from the phone. "Xiaomei? Are you Yu Xiaomei?"
Yu Meiren nodded rather irritably, "Yes, it's me!"
Ling Ziqian was speechless. This girl's name was Yu Xiaomei. She actually gave her own name to Cupid!
