Chapter 13 It's Right to Take Precautions Early

"Did you see it?" Lu Doudou's mouth was almost close to Bai Kou's ear. She stood side by side with Bai Kou, and naturally saw Mengmei's terrifying eyes.

"Well, I really wish I could die immediately." Bai Kou took a few steps back, gritted his molars and whispered to Lu Doudou.

"You really have no new festivities with her?"

"Help me to pay attention to who she has gotten closer to recently. Everyone from Director Wen to the following should pay attention."

Lu Doudou smiled happily, and the hand hidden behind Bai Kou pinched her waist, Bai Kou gritted his teeth and endured it.

"What are you two doing!?"

"Anyway, there is a grudge. Don't ask for details. The less you know, the better."

"Okay, just help you pay attention."

Lu Doudou raised her hand and patted Bai Kou's back again, just like a girl laughing and playing, she happily returned to her basin to pick up the soaked vegetables.

The girls who made friends with Mengmei then made ginger tea and sent it to her. After they came back, Lu Doudou went to inquire, and then turned around and told Bai Kou that Mengmei was really suffering from aunt pain. As soon as I drank it, I vomited it all up, and couldn't do anything except lie down.

"Why haven't I seen Mengmei suffer from pain like this in the past two months? Is it intermittent? Does it come and go?" Lu Doudou was a few months younger than Bai Kou and had not yet menstruated. She didn't have this experience.

"Didn't you say that she washed her pants in the middle of the night? She caught a cold. Auntie is very delicate." Bai Kou scooped up the vegetables into the dustpan, raised the basin and poured out the washing water. The guard held Mengmei with a sword.

It's already the beginning of summer in April, and it won't be cold at night. Even if she takes off her clothes in the middle of the night, she won't catch a cold. Mengmei's sudden pain is so severe, it's more likely that she was overly frightened.

Bai Kou sighed in her heart, Mengmei's encounter was purely self-inflicted, if she hadn't been brooding over the previous petty dispute, she wouldn't have done such a thing last night.

She didn't think about it carefully, the back door at the end of the alley led to the main street outside the mansion. During the day, people come and go, and everyone can leave, but after the second watch, they can walk around freely, not afraid of being questioned by women everywhere. , who is not afraid of encountering patrol guards, and boldly eats a meal in the kitchen, is not an ordinary servant at all.

Mengmei probably didn't even take a closer look at the people. She just saw the appearance of a few men, so she taunted her, thinking she had caught her.

Really deserve it.

Not long after the apprentices and handymen finished washing the dishes, the cooks and cooks came over one after another to start preparing lunch. When the stewardess Lu Meihua called the girls to the front to divide the work for them, she glanced and found that the number was wrong.

"Where's Mengmei?"

"Boss Lu, Mengmei is not feeling well and wants to ask for leave." Yaomei, who came from the same school as Mengmei, responded aloud.

"Do you want to stop working if you feel a little bit uncomfortable? Do you think you are Miss Jiao?" Lu Meihua frowned, immediately unhappy.

"Boss Lu, Mengmei...she's really uncomfortable and can't get out of bed." Mei Yao blushed, embarrassed to explain the reason for Mengmei's discomfort.

"Go and call her over to work, or I'll send her out of the house." Lu Meihua didn't have the patience to listen to any reason, so she gave orders directly to Yaomei.

Yaomei looked at the girls around her, no one spoke for Mengmei, so she had to bow her head and go out.

Lu Meihua gave each girl instructions on the kitchen chores to be done, and the girls immediately went into the kitchen to work. Like the boys, they mainly helped the third-class cooks and cooks.

Director Lu had made good arrangements, but the cook and the cooks had other requirements, so the apprentices walked in and out of the kitchen, being ordered around without stopping.

Mengmei was sleeping soundly, when she was suddenly shaken awake vigorously, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Yaomei anxious.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better? Manager Lu is looking for you, and he won't allow you to ask for leave. He wants you to go to work quickly, or he will send you out of the house."

Mengmei was startled, but when she wanted to lift the quilt, she found that she was still weak.

"No, I still can't get up. Go and beg Steward Lu to let me rest for a day. I will work hard tomorrow."

"Do you think I didn't say anything? I told you that you won't be able to get out of bed. Manager Lu didn't listen at all. You should get up. I'll help you over and let Manager Lu see how you look. Maybe she will let you go. "

Mengmei could only do this after thinking about it, so she asked Mei Yao to lift the quilt, help herself get up and get dressed, tidy up, and then she looked sick, and was helped by Mei Yao into the kitchen courtyard.

Lu Meihua frowned again when she saw Mengmei, whose face was pale and her legs were weak.

"How did you do it?"

"It's just that I'm not feeling well, Manager Lu, please let the servant girl rest for a day, and the servant girl must work hard tomorrow." Mengmei's voice seemed weak when she spoke, and she felt that she might faint at any time.

Lu Meihua had no choice but to wave her hand to let her go back.

Mengmei and Yaomei hurriedly expressed their thanks, but when they turned around, they heard Lu Meihua muttering.

"It's not easy to be a cook in the house with such poor health at such a young age."

The two girls' hearts jumped in shock, and they turned their heads to explain something to Lu Meihua, but they saw that the man had already gone to the kitchen, so it was difficult to catch up.

Everyone was so busy that it was always ugly for the two of them to be in a daze in the courtyard, but in the end Yao Mei helped Mengmei and hurried away.

"You rest, I'm going back to work, and I'll bring you food later." Yaomei took care of Mengmei to go to bed and lie down, turned around and left without further delay.

Mengmei lay on her stomach, with her hands pressed under her abdomen, pressing against the painful part, which made her feel better. She was mentally exhausted and wanted to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep for a while, so she had to close her eyes and rest, looking forward to sleep I don't know the pain anymore.

But when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with random thoughts. Lu Meihua's muttering was really frightening. The competition among apprentices was already fierce. If it was because of poor health, the chance of being left would be even slimmer.

Mengmei knew that it was rare for her to be in such severe pain. The reason she felt so uncomfortable today was because of the unlucky incident last night. First, she was frightened by someone, then she was blown in the courtyard with her bare buttocks, and finally she came back with wet pants on.

Mainly because of the fright and wet pants, the coolness entered the body, and the body naturally reacted immediately.

"Bai Kou, I'll never end with you!" Mengmei swears through gritted teeth while enduring the indescribable pain.

After the lunch time was over, everyone in the kitchen came back to rest one after another. Mei Yao brought hot soup and ginger tea to Mengmei. This time she finally vomited without drinking it. She seemed to be better, not as scary as in the morning.

After Bai Kou finished her job, she didn't have to rest when she came back. She was busy cleaning the house and cleaning the dirty clothes.

Maids of their level don't even change many clothes. If the dirty clothes are not washed quickly, there will be no clean clothes to wear next time.

The noisy courtyard returned to silence in less than an hour. The girls hurried to the kitchen to prepare afternoon snacks. Mengmei went down to the ground to relieve her hands, looking at Bai Kou's wet clothes hanging on the clothesline in the courtyard, feeling out of breath He grabbed a few handfuls of soil from the flower bed and threw them on it. Seeing that the clean clothes had turned into a big painted face, he went back to the house with satisfaction as if he let out a sigh of relief.
