Chapter 42 Getting Busy

As more and more people came to the island, Meng'er became busier and busier, and Lai Di was also sent to work in the kitchen. Anyway, the young lady didn't like to use her. Every day, the nanny took the two of them to the kitchen to prepare meals for about a hundred people. They were so busy that they had no time to rest.

That day, as usual, Meng'er and Lai Di carried the big bucket of food outside the house. There were already quite a few people waiting outside. They took the big spoons to serve food to these men. After these days, these men have become familiar with them. The Sun brothers love to tease Lai Di the most, and treat Meng'er and the others as children. They squeezed in with their bowls and said with a smile: "You two sisters have worked hard. Sister Lai Di, you are reluctant to give me more food, so I can't eat enough." Lai Di didn't even raise her head and quickly gave Sun Da another spoonful. Sun Er was not happy and pouted, "Sister, you are biased. You give it to my eldest brother when he wants it, but what about me?"

Lai Di knew that they were just teasing her for no reason, so she glanced at Sun Er and said, "When have you ever been beaten more than once?"

Several people nearby laughed and said, "The Sun brothers are still the most prestigious. We are not popular anymore."

Lai Di quickly explained: "No, they are all the same." Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw that she blushed after talking too much.

Meng'er glanced at them and said to Lai Di unhappily, "Sister, ignore them, so that no one will come to have fun again."

Sun Er smiled and said, "Sister Nan is wrong. We are already busy protecting Lai Di, so how could we have fun with her?" An'er changed her name to An Nan, and this group of people called her Sister Nan.

Mei'er made a "Puh" sound and said without even looking at him, "You're the worst." Everyone was happy to hear the little girl scolding Sun Er, and Sun Er didn't care and laughed along with everyone else.

At this time, the Third Young Master came and saw the excitement here. He asked with a smile, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

These people were all on good terms with the Third Young Master, and someone said, "The Third Young Master is here, haha, the two from the Sun family are teasing the little girl again."

The Third Young Master looked at Meng'er, fearing that she would be unhappy, so he scolded the Sun brothers: "An Nan is my guest. If she gets angry, there will be no one to cook. You two will starve to death."

The two brothers of the Sun family laughed a few times. They all knew that An Nan was not a servant of the Third Young Master's family. However, they really didn't want to bully the two girls. They were just joking because, on this island, besides the Third Young Master's wife and the old nanny, there were only these two young girls. The Third Young Master was in his twenties and had grown up with this group of brothers. Only at this time could Meng'er see his cheerful and cheerful side. However, in front of his wife, he was polite and courteous, but it lacked the flavor of a couple. The wife was slim, young and beautiful. Why didn't the Third Young Master like her?

In the next few days, more people came to the island, and the houses were not big enough. In fact, the houses had been short of space for a long time, so the men set up tents. But on this day, several female relatives came. The leader of the group was a middle-aged woman in her forties, her daughter and two maids. The Third Young Master treated them very politely, and they were arranged to live in the courtyard where Meng'er and her friends lived. There were only five rooms in this small courtyard, so Lai Di had to give up her house. She didn't want to squeeze with Liu Po, and Liu Po ​​also thought she was in the way, so Lai Di simply moved in with Meng'er. So the middle-aged woman and her maid shared a room, and her daughter and her personal maid shared a room. The inner courtyard was then full. Meng'er thought that if more female relatives came, they would probably be driven out of the courtyard.

This lady usually doesn't move around much in the room. Her daughter's surname is Xing and her name is Shuyu. Miss Xing doesn't stay idle very often. Because the yard is really small, everyone can hear if someone speaks loudly. Meng'er often hears Xing Shuyu being scolded by her mother. Basically, she is warned that she is a grown-up girl and shouldn't run outside all the time for no reason. Now there are men from the three villages outside, and it would be bad for her reputation to show up in public like this. Xing Shuyu has a masculine temperament and hates these constraints the most. She doesn't care about her mother's advice at all. Mrs. Xing was so angry that she wanted to put her in solitary confinement, but Xing Shuyu always found a way to make her mother unable to lock her up.

Because of the presence of other female relatives, the Third Young Master used this as an excuse not to come to the courtyard anymore. Meng'er always saw that the Third Young Master's wife had a gloomy look on her face, and she couldn't help but sympathize with this woman. Xing Shuyu just came of age this year and is the same age as Lai Di. Her maid Cai Hui is sixteen years old, and Cai Hui is much more stable than her. She always stops Xing Shuyu and reminds her that she is not at home now and she can't let her temper go on. She keeps saying this and that every day. Xing Shuyu listens to Cai Hui very much, but she is a little annoyed by her mother's control and her own maid's control. Sometimes she is not allowed to go out, so she runs to find Lai Di. Lai Di is dull and uninformed, and she can't keep up with Xing Shuyu's topics when chatting. But Meng'er gradually starts to chat with her.

After finishing her work in the kitchen, Meng'er went back to her room and lay down on the bed, not wanting to move. Xing Shuyu came to find her again, but Meng'er pushed her away lazily and said, "Don't make trouble. I'm so tired. Let me sleep for a while."

Xing Shuyu continued to push Meng'er, looking a little bit like she had something to say, "Have you heard that the Sixth Young Master of the Zheng Family is here too?"

Meng'er yawned and asked vaguely, "Who is it? I don't know him."

Xing Shuyu was fascinated and her voice was full of dreams. "Sixth Young Master Zheng is the most handsome and promising young man in the three Poyang villages. Although he is only seventeen years old, he is a martial arts expert and a well-known figure in this area. He came to the island yesterday. It would be great if I could meet him. Well, I heard that he lives with the third young master. I have to find a reason to go there."

She was mumbling to herself, and after a while she turned her head and saw that Meng'er had her eyes closed and almost snored when she opened her mouth. Xing Shuyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pushed Meng'er hard, saying, "I have an idea, Anan, don't sleep, you have to come with me."

As the sky gradually darkened, Meng'er was dragged along by Xing Shuyu listlessly. Xing Shuyu was so excited that her face was shining. She held a food box in her hand and told Meng'er, "Anan, if anyone asks, just say that the Third Young Master and his friends have been working hard all day, and I thought they would be hungry at night, so I came to send them some food."

Mei'er rolled her eyes: "It was obviously you who wanted to come."

Xing Shuyu said anxiously, "Don't mention me. You are young and no one will laugh at you. If you say it's me, it will be troublesome. It will be even worse if my mother finds out."

Mei'er was speechless: "It's such a small place, your mother will find out sooner or later."

Xing Shuyu was not really afraid of her mother. "I can't care about that anymore. I have to meet the Sixth Young Master of the Zheng Family. I just heard that he will leave the island tomorrow. Who knows when he will be back? I can't wait any longer."
