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

The expression on her face was so obvious, her undisguised expectation and anxiety were impossible for Xin Yi to ignore, so she could only smile and cooperate, "Okay, it's alright, you just need to bring the bedding and pillows first, as for the other miscellaneous things, we can move them together tomorrow at noon!"

As soon as Xin Yi finished speaking, Liu Mengting's previously somewhat uneasy face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile. She excitedly replied, "Okay! I'll go get it right away!"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already run off like a happy little rabbit.

Watching Liu Mengting's hurried departure, Xin Yi couldn't help but shake her head helplessly and chuckle softly.

She then slowly got up and went to the kitchen. First, she added more than half a pot of cold water to the pot. Then, she carefully extinguished the blazing fire in the stove. Finally, she covered the stove hole with a thick wooden board to prevent sparks from splashing out and causing danger.

After everything was tidied up, Xin Yi dragged her slightly tired body back to her room, gently lifted a corner of the quilt, and slowly lay down.

Perhaps she was truly exhausted today, because before long, she felt her eyelids begin to droop uncontrollably, and her consciousness gradually became blurred...

Just as Xin Yi was about to drift off to sleep, a series of hurried and light footsteps approached from afar. Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Mengting rushed into the room like a cannonball, humming an unknown tune.

Clutching the blankets and pillows in her arms, she skipped and hopped to the bedside, quickly tossed them all onto the bed, and then darted into the warm covers.

"Oh dear, Sister Yiyi, today's work was exhausting! You're so smart to have chosen such an easy job as cutting pig feed. If I were as skinny as you, I probably would have collapsed from exhaustion by now!"

As Liu Mengting stretched her limbs comfortably, she chuckled and muttered to Xin Yi, who had already closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Hearing Liu Mengting's words, Xin Yi slightly opened her eyes, a faint smile on her lips, and replied, "Silly girl, there's no such thing as being smart or not. It's just that I'm a bit lazy. But you, don't work so hard. You have to know your limits, okay? It's not worth ruining your health if you do that! By the way, did you remember to close the gate when you went out?"

As she spoke, Xin Yi closed her eyes again, turned over, and adjusted her sleeping position.

"Close it properly, Sister Yiyi. Let me tell you, that new educated youth, Mei, is really problematic! Every time we work, she's always dawdling and procrastinating, complaining of aches and pains. And she always wants others to help her with the work! I really don't know if she came to the countryside for training or to enjoy herself!" Liu Mengting said with a frown and a look of disgust, her tone full of contempt.

Hearing this, Xin Yi knew very well what Mei Zhiqing's situation was, but she couldn't say it directly, because it would have a bad influence on the girl if such things got out.

So all she could do was advise, "Oh, don't worry about it so much. Maybe she really isn't feeling well. Besides, if someone's willing to help her, it's a matter of mutual consent, there's nothing we can do about it. Just stay away from her in the future, out of sight, out of mind!"

“Yeah, Sister Yiyi is right, it really doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me! I can’t be bothered with her!” Liu Mengting nodded, agreeing with Xinyi’s words.

And so, the two chatted and fell asleep without realizing it.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a loud gong and drum sound suddenly came, waking Xin Yi from her sleep.

Xin Yi rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, wanting to get out of bed. But just then, she suddenly felt a strange sensation below her.

Her heart tightened, and she froze instantly. She gently nudged Liu Mengting, who was still half asleep beside her, and whispered, "Mengting, wake up, it's time to get up! Just have a light snack this morning. I'm not feeling well today, so I might have to go gather pig feed a little later. Could you ask Uncle Zhang for leave for me later?"

Liu Mengting was still half asleep, her head throbbing, but when she vaguely heard Xin Yi's words, she instantly snapped awake. She hurriedly reached out and touched Xin Yi's forehead, her eyes filled with concern and worry.

"You don't have a fever? Sister Yiyi, what's wrong with you? Should I go with you to the village clinic?" Liu Mengting asked anxiously.

Xin Yi frowned slightly and replied softly, "I'm fine. It's just that every woman gets her period, so I'm feeling a little unwell. I should be fine after resting for a while. Don't worry about me too much. Go wash up quickly, and don't be late!" As she spoke, she gently nudged Liu Mengting.

After hearing this, Liu Mengting felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't help asking, "Sister Yiyi, do you have any menstrual pads? I have prepared quite a few, all brand new and unused!"

Xin Yi thought to herself, "These menstrual belts are so troublesome to use. They're nothing compared to the big band-aid in my space, which is so convenient and comfortable."

However, she couldn't say it directly in front of Liu Mengting, so she casually replied, "I have my own menstrual pads, I'll take them out and use them later."

Seeing Xin Yi's reaction, Liu Mengting assumed she was just embarrassed and didn't say anything more. She quickly got dressed and got out of bed. Soon, only Xin Yi was left in the room.

Not long after, in her drowsy state, Xin Yi vaguely heard Liu Mengting seemingly saying something to her.

Upon closer listening, it turned out that Liu Mengting was about to leave and told her that she was going to ask Uncle Zhang for a full day off so that she could rest at home. She also reminded her to remember to close the door properly.

"Okay, thank you, Mengting!" Xin Yi replied weakly.

Xin Yi lay in bed for a while longer, but still endured her discomfort and got out of bed. She went to the yard and closed the gate.

Then I went to the kitchen, filled a basin with hot water to wash myself, took a glass bottle from my spatial storage, filled it with hot water, and then returned to my room, used the large Band-Aid, and climbed into bed.

With the warmth of the hot water, Xin Yi felt much better and fell into a deep sleep again.
