Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I Really Want It Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I Really Want It Meng Chuyue felt a sweet joy in her heart, her mom favored her over Meng Jingfen.
Just now, she had actually stood up for her.
And then, it turned out that in her previous life, her mom had allowed Meng Jingfen to call her “Mom” in order to secure her a good job.
Indeed, with Meng Jingfen’s unattractive appearance and lackluster education, this era saw many migrant workers, but most of them were limited to factory assembly lines; they hardly landed the better jobs.
Jingfen couldn’t handle tough work, she definitely wouldn’t want to be an ordinary worker.
Mom could only find her an easy and profitable job, otherwise, Meng Jingfen would be incessantly troublesome.
Chuyue smiled sweetly, “Okay, as long as cousin doesn’t bully me, I’ll be fine with anything.”
She wouldn’t let Meng Jingfen off the hook, but she wouldn’t act rashly either.
After dinner, Meng Wanhua pointed to the second bedroom and said to Meng Chuyue and Meng Jingfen, “You two can share that room.”
Meng Chuyue smiled and held up a finger, “Okay, but I want to sleep with mom tonight.
Just for one night, okay?”
Meng Jingfen touched her arm: Gross, never knew Chuyue could be so coquettish before.
However, Meng Wanhua was quite taken with Chuyue’s act and smiled in agreement, “Okay.”
It was just one night; she’d indulge the poor child’s request.
What she didn’t know was that Chuyue had no intention of sleeping with Meng Jingfen at all, she didn’t want to torture herself.
She decided from now on, whenever she was home, she would cling to Meng Wanhua and sleep together.
After showering, Meng Chuyue changed into a pink short-sleeved nightdress with a small bear pattern, youthful and striking.
Meng Jingfen couldn’t suppress her jealousy and asked sourly, “Did that Aunt Qin give you those?
Must have cost a decent amount, huh?”
Meng Chuyue nodded, “Yeah, when I stayed over at Aunt Qin’s place, she had her daughter buy them for me.
I got two, the other one is light purple.
Each cost over a hundred.”
Meng Jingfen swallowed: So generous, over a hundred could buy a nice woolen outfit.
How I want one, but can’t give Meng Wanhua a bad impression.
She’d pass on the nightwear but decided to find a way to get a few outfits to wear out tomorrow.
She really liked the light purple long-sleeved blouse Chuyue had worn earlier.
If this were in Xiaoliu Village, she would have already snatched it away.
She couldn’t steal it, but she could “borrow,” and would find an excuse to borrow clothes from Chuyue in the morning because she didn’t have anything suitable to wear out.
Even if she couldn’t borrow anything else, that light purple blouse would be no issue, hadn’t Meng Wanhua already thrown it into the washer?
It’s summer now; it would be dry by midnight, not to mention the next morning.
The next morning, after Meng Chuyue got dressed and made up, she took a pretty box to where Meng Wanhua was applying sunscreen and said with a grin, “Let me help you, I’ll make sure you look absolutely gorgeous.”
By that time, sunscreen already existed, though it provided minimal protection compared to products from the future.
Chuyue, with ample resources from her space, had hoarded a lot of top-brand cosmetics, including sunscreen.
She planned to give some to Meng Wanhua, and to avoid arousing suspicion, she swapped out all the packaging the night before.
Meng Wanhua saw the labels on the cosmetic bottles Chuyue brought, labeled with scraps of paper saying “Facial Cleanser,” “Sunscreen,” “Primer,” “Foundation,” and asked, “These weren’t bought at a store, were they?”
Chuyue applied sunscreen to Meng Wanhua as she replied, “They’re custom-made.
Aunt Qin herself uses these.
She specifically had me bring them for you, saying it was to thank you for raising such a morally upright and wonderful daughter, hehe.”
Meng Wanhua was amused by her and chuckled, taking over the sunscreen application while inquiring about the usage of these unfamiliar products, the atmosphere filled with warmth.
