delicious little cook

Chapter 97 Who Will Believe It?
Third Aunt Nie came out from the blind spot of the flower path with a long broom for sweeping the yard. She didn't know how long she hid in the corner and watched, but she walked leisurely to Mengmei's head and bent down. She was very concerned and asked her if it was okay.

Mengmei was lying on the hot gravel path at noon, wiping her tears while touching her sore wrist, when someone suddenly approached her and made her jump up regardless of the pain.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I just fell down."

"Oh, I thought you wanted to take a nap here."

Third Aunt Nie turned up her mouth with a half-smile, and waved the broom in her hand to sweep the floor around Mengmei, sweeping all the fallen leaves and grass on her feet, forcing her to run to the lane, avoiding the crowds. Small yard to go.

Lu Doudou and the others were taking turns fetching water and wiping their faces in the yard to prepare for their lunch break. The five of them were talking and laughing, discussing what they would cook when the oven was repaired. Everyone was there, so I hurried to my room.

Xiulan saw Mengmei's wrist tightly covered by her sleeve at a glance, and felt a little strange intuitively, asking whether Mengmei had hidden something secretly, and quickly walked over to hold her hand.

Mengmei was frightened, she pulled her hand and hid, Xiulan refused to let go, the two tugged a few times, Mengmei was finally defeated by the mature woman's strength, Xiulan grabbed her left wrist and pulled it hard, immediately suffering from pain Call.

Xiulan was taken aback by Mengmei's cry, but she didn't let go. Instead, she lifted her cuffs to check and found a frightening bruise on the back of her wrist.

"Oh, is this a fight with someone? You are quite courageous at such a young age." Ever since she knew that Mengmei was going to climb Wengushan's bed in the middle of the night, Xiulan had always disliked her. It's all about cynicism.

"No, it fell." Mengmei twitched her hand a few times but failed to pull her wrist back. It also caused Xiulan to pinch her even harder, causing her voice to change due to the pain.

"Let's all come and see! How could you hurt the back of your hand when you fall?" Xiulan shouted for others to come forward together.

"I've seen people who hurt their palms and elbows in wrestling, but I haven't seen people who only hurt the back of their hands." Sister Qian walked up to take a look and said with a sneer.

"Sister, look at this injury on her whole body. I feel like someone stepped on it on purpose. Could it be that she was humiliated by kneeling on the ground and begging for help? Could it be that the cook who called you in the past two days did it? "Xiulan pinched Mengmei's wound again with a smile on her face.

Mengmei was so painful that her legs almost went limp, she shook her head again and again.

"No, it has nothing to do with others."

"That's strange, there must be an explanation for this injury, otherwise people will think that we hurt you when they ask. Besides, as a cook, you will be unable to work for a few days after being injured like this. Manpower is tight, you are making it difficult for Zeng Zhu to act as the manager."

"I'll do some light work, and I won't hold you back, I promise." Mengmei didn't have the slightest temper, and begged in a low voice.

"How can there be any light work in the kitchen now? Even the first-class cook sometimes has to do some chores, you really can talk nicely."

"I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare, please let me go, I will be a good person, and I don't dare to cause trouble for everyone."

"It's not that we won't let you go, and what you did has already spread. Sooner or later, it will reach the ears of Da Furen. If we don't make trouble, we are already giving you face. No one can save you."

"Someone can save me. I know she must have a way, but she hates me, hates me, and just wants to see me go away." Mengmei sat on the ground with her back against the wall and cried loudly. Xiulan couldn't hold her back. Had to let go.

"Mengmei, did you go looking for Bai Kou earlier?" Lu Doudou, who had been standing silently at the back, took two steps forward and stared at her vigilantly.

"How thick-skinned!" All the girls poohed her in unison.

"I'm not the only one who has an affair with a man. Bai Kou also met men behind our backs. I saw them with my own eyes, and there were three men! Three! The one who appeared in the kitchen at night! Bai Kou told them You are laughing! But now she can go to serve the third young master, but I will be kicked out of the house! Why!" Mengmei suddenly roared hysterically.

Hong Su hurriedly ran to check the courtyard door, and found that Mengmei hadn't bolted the door when she came back, so she quickly put the bolt on.

"Bai Kou stayed in the kitchen every night and didn't come back until midnight. We had to keep the door open for her. Who of us complained at that time? She was actually stealing men! You fools were all cheated by her! She just He has a deceptive face!"

Mengmei cried and cursed at the same time, her voice was so loud that all the cooks in the adjacent yard could hear her.

Of course Lu Doudou knew how Bai Kou and the third young master got hooked up, but the others didn't know, they were all stunned when they heard Mengmei yelling so loudly, Lu Doudou imitated their expressions , also pretended to be surprised.

"Mengmei, don't talk nonsense without evidence! Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Taking advantage of Mengmei's breathing, Lu Doudou was the first to scold.

"Exactly! You alone said it from beginning to end! Is there any other circumstantial evidence?" Hong Su agreed with Lu Doudou.

"I saw it with my own eyes that night!"

"The yamen needs witnesses and material evidence to settle the case. If you say you saw it with your own eyes, we have to believe you? Who doesn't know that you have always hated Bai Kou for forcing you to openly do things about Director Wen's outside room?" Lu Doudou firmly believed in the dream. Mei didn't have definite evidence in hand, so she refuted loudly with full confidence.

Everyone present knew the relationship between Lu Doudou and Bai Kou, and it was normal to see her defending Bai Kou's reputation like this.

"I didn't lie! You were all deceived by Bai Kou!"

"Since you saw it with your own eyes, what do you think the three men look like?" Sister Qian asked hurriedly.

"them……"

Mengmei was at a loss for words. She thought hard for a while, but she only vaguely remembered the figures of the three men, but she couldn't remember what clothes they were wearing or what they said. The shock of that night made her memory blurred .

"Look, it's really just talking nonsense, it's so easy to make up nonsense now." Xiulan folded her arms and sneered.

Lu Doudou was furious, lifted the hem of her skirt and kicked Mengmei straight to the ground, and was immediately dragged away by everyone.

"If you have something to say, don't do it. If you hurt someone, you won't be able to turn around!"

"I'm just annoyed that she's targeting Bai Kou all the time!"

"Lu Doudou, you don't pretend to be pure, you are not a good thing! Every day I hide and talk with Bai Kou in the middle of the road, thinking that I don't know that you two are actually hooking up with passing men!" Mengmei got up from the ground disheveledly, rushed Lu Doudou started to get angry.

"Yo ho! After talking about it, Bai Kou came to talk about me again? Bai Kou and I hooked up with a man? What about the evidence? What do you say with your red lips and white teeth? What do you think you are?" Lu Doudou snarled regardless of everyone's obstruction. scolded back.

"Mengmei, don't bite people like a mad dog! Catch thieves and seize stolen goods. You must say that there is something wrong with the innocence of their little girls, but you have to have evidence to sue in front of the lady, otherwise , the unlucky one is you." Sister-in-law Qian held on to Lu Doudou tightly, and she refuted Mengmei, but she also reminded everyone.

"That's right! Go and complain to Da Furen! Didn't Mengmei say that Bai Kou also hooked up with men? Let's see who Da Furen will believe?" Xiulan immediately gloated and waited to watch the show.

Mengmei's high emotions due to anger subsided immediately, she moved her mouth a few times but didn't say anything. She had no evidence, and if she really wanted to file a complaint, she must be the one who was unlucky.

"Mengmei, don't talk nonsense without proof. Bai Kou is serving the third young master now. If any rumors reach this young master's ears, who do you think he will believe?" Sister Qian pushed Lu Doudou away. Showing to Hongsu and Wanqiu, she patted the dust on her clothes, and finally persuaded Mengmei.

"Okay, okay, the excitement is over, everyone who should rest should rest." Xiulan slapped her hands and dispersed everyone, only Mengmei was still sitting on the ground stupidly, but no one paid any attention to her up.
