The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Chapter 146 Conflicts Arise at the Educated Youth Settlement

Xin Yi walked to the table and sat down. Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with her chopsticks and put it into Xin Yi's bowl, saying with a smile, "Yi Yi, eat more. You must be tired from the journey."

Xin Yi smiled and replied, "Thank you, Auntie. I can do it myself. My second brother will be here soon."

At this moment, Gou Dan excitedly said, "Grandpa, Grandma, do you know? It was Sister Yiyi who drove Uncle and Aunt, and Rui Rui back. That jeep at the door was driven back by Sister Yiyi!" As he spoke, he pointed to the door.

Then, Gou Dan excitedly added, "Oh, right, Sister Yiyi also said she'd teach me how to drive! I'm so excited!"

However, Uncle Zhang immediately interrupted him: "Alright, keep your voice down. Can't you see your little brother Rui Rui is still sleeping next to you? Eat first!"

Upon hearing this, Gou Dan immediately shut his mouth, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat obediently.

Lunch was eaten hastily like that. Zhang Laifu originally planned to ask Xin Yi about her trip to the county, but Xin Yi was in a hurry to return the car, so she said they would discuss it in detail when she returned in the afternoon.

When Xin Yi left, Gou Dan wanted to go with her, but Aunt Zhang stopped him. Aunt Zhang told Gou Dan that there were no more cars on the way back, and he would have to take an oxcart, but he would have to pay the fare. Gou Dan had no money, so he could only watch Xin Yi longingly.

In the end, Xin Yi made the decision and let Gou Dan sit in the car for ten minutes before Gou Dan got out of the car, satisfied.

"Sister Yiyi, you promised me you'd teach me how to drive! Adults shouldn't lie to children!" Gou Dan reminded her.

"Okay, I'll teach you to drive when you grow up!" Xin Yi replied with a smile.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Gou Dan was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to run off, ready to brag to his friends about how he had ridden in a Jeep and how he would be able to drive one someday.

Xin Yi watched Gou Dan's cheerful figure and couldn't help but laugh. Then she got into her car alone and drove away.

However, Xin Yi was unaware that the village's educated youth settlement was in turmoil at that moment...

"Xin Yi, is Xin Yi, the educated youth, here?" The postman did not know that Xin Yi lived alone, so he came directly to the educated youth settlement.

"Xin Zhiqing?"

Mei Zhi, who was in the room, had eaten too much at noon and hadn't taken a nap. As soon as she heard the postman's call, she immediately ran out.

"Who's looking for Xin Yi?"

The postman replied very politely, "Comrade, here are a few letters and a package for Xin Zhiqing. Could you please call her for me?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Zhi's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "I am Xin Yi's older sister, my name is Xin Zhi. Xin Yi went to the county to take care of some business, so you can give these things to me."

The postman seemed hesitant, unsure whether he should hand the package to her.

Just then, Wang Si, who had just returned from the restroom, seemed to notice the commotion outside and went to the door.

Seeing someone else appear, the postman hurriedly asked, "Comrade, is Xin Yi, the educated youth Xin, here?"

"No, she went to the county!"

Wang Si walked to Mei Zhi's side and asked softly, "Zhi'er, what exactly happened?"

Mei Zhi explained with a smile, "Brother Si, this postman said there were letters and packages for Yi Yi. I thought since Yi Yi wasn't here, I, as her older sister, should help her collect them. However, it seems this postman doesn't believe me!"

"What? Is there still such a thing?"

Wang Si looked surprised, turned to the postman, and said firmly, "Zhi'er is Xin Yi's sister, we all know that, give her whatever you have!"

Seeing this, the postman no longer suspected anything, and took out several letters and a package from his bag and handed them to Mei Zhi.

Mei Zhi took the envelope, glanced at it, and then said to the postman, "Just put the package on the ground, you can go now!"

The postman didn't think much of it, nodded, and pushed his bicycle away.

When Mei Zhi saw that the sender of the package was Mei Fang, she was overjoyed, thinking that there must be a share for her too, and couldn't wait to open it and see.

Seeing this, Wang Si immediately stepped forward to help her open the package.

The package contained few items, but they were all high-quality goods, though all were sold individually.

Upon seeing this, Mei Zhi's smile froze instantly, and a wave of disappointment washed over her. She realized that Mei Fang hadn't prepared her share at all.

Fortunately, that bitch Xin Yi went to the county, so all these things are mine now.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Mei Zhi's lips. She finished checking everything and was secretly pleased with herself.

"Put your stuff down!"

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out. Mei Zhi was startled and almost dropped what she was holding.

It turned out to be Liu Mengting, who had just come out of Xin Yi's yard. She was washing dishes in the kitchen when she vaguely heard someone calling Xin Yi's name. Thinking that there was only one bowl left, she decided to finish washing it before going out, but she didn't expect to see this scene.

Liu Mengting walked over quickly and, before Mei Zhi could put the things away, snatched the package. Upon closer inspection, the recipient's name was clearly written as "Xin Yi".

"The recipient is clearly Sister Yiyi, why did you sign for it for her? And you even opened her package without permission!" Liu Mengting questioned angrily, her voice trembling with emotion.

Liu Mengting's voice woke up the other educated youth who were taking a nap. Soon, all the female educated youth came out. Looking at the scene before them, they all showed confusion and worry.

As for the male educated youth, perhaps they felt this was a matter between women and did not want to get involved, so none of them showed up.

"Mengting, what's wrong? What happened?" Xiao Jia asked with concern, her brows furrowed.

"That Mei Zhi took advantage of Sister Yi Yi's absence and fraudulently claimed her letters and packages!" Liu Mengting said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the female educated youth all looked at Mei Zhi, wanting to hear her explanation.

Mei Zhi felt a surge of nervousness. "I just heard someone calling Xin Yi's name outside, so I came out to check. Who knew that the postman would just ask me to sign for the package? I thought it wouldn't be a problem to sign for it for her since Yi Yi wasn't here. If you don't believe me, you can ask Si Ge!"

"Yes, that postman is so irresponsible. Luckily, it was Zhi'er today. If it had been someone with ulterior motives, these things would probably have disappeared long ago!" Wang Si echoed, while glancing at Liu Mengting out of the corner of her eye, her meaning quite clear.

"It's one thing to sign for the package, but why did you open it without permission?" Liu Mengting questioned.

"I'm just making sure the package is intact. Besides, Yiyi isn't home right now, so I need to check everything carefully in case someone steals it and I can't explain it!" Mei Zhi answered confidently, feeling that her answer was flawless.
