Chapter 101 Sister Mei's Past
Sister Mei brought a bowl of hot tomato and egg noodles. The attractive color and strong fragrance made Li Hao's mouth water.

"I don't know if it suits your taste." Sister Mei said politely.

Li Hao took a bite of the noodles, feeling a sense of happiness spontaneously, and praised sincerely: "It's delicious, this is the best tomato and egg noodles I've ever eaten."

When Sister Mei heard the praise, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.Due to age, Sister Mei has many wrinkles on her face, but her facial features are very delicate, dotted on the melon seeds like precious jade.

Today's Sister Mei seems to have nothing to do with beauty, but when she was young, Sister Mei was an all-powerful beauty, and countless men chased her.

However, Sister Mei has high eyesight, she has not taken a fancy to any man, so she has not married until now.

"Sister Mei, how long have you been working here?" Li Hao asked.

"Three days."

"You misunderstood me. I was asking about the time you worked in Nanchun Garden."

"That's too long, maybe 30 years." Sister Mei said with a smile.

"Then you watched Cheng Jiajia grow up, right?" Li Hao asked while eating.

"Yes."

"Could you tell me a few embarrassing things about Cheng Jiajia?" Li Hao showed a smirk.

"I can't even shut your mouth when I eat." Cheng Jiajia said angrily.

"What I ate was not rice, but tomato and egg noodles." Li Hao picked up the noodles and raised his arms deliberately, showing Cheng Jiajia the noodles he ate.

"Sister Mei, don't talk nonsense with him." Cheng Jiajia said.

Sister Mei nodded, sinking into the depths of her memory the embarrassing things about Cheng Jiajia that she had already thought of.

Li Hao looked at Sister Mei with some disappointment, Sister Mei shook her head with a smile, she was unwilling to tell the embarrassing things about Cheng Jiajia in the past anyway.

"Sister Mei, did anything embarrassing happen to you when you were young?" Li Hao asked.

"I forgot everything about my childhood."

Cheng Jiajia really wanted to hear about Sister Mei, so she immediately regained her spirits. She turned to look at Sister Mei and said, "Think about it again, I want to hear it."

Sister Mei recalled her childhood, her complexion gradually became solemn, and her eyes became moist unconsciously.

More than 40 years ago, in a small, dark room, the smell of vomit mixed with musty odors to create an even more disgusting smell.

There was a bed in the room, and a drunk man was lying on it. One of the man's shoes was standing sideways on the ground, and the other was hiding beside the bed.

A seven-year-old girl in red put her two shoes upright, and then began to clean up the vomit on the ground. The girl wanted to vomit several times, but she held back in the end.

That girl was Sister Mei when she was a child, and the man lying on the bed was Sister Mei's father. He didn't have a job, but he liked to drink. He was drunk at least six days a week.

After cleaning the floor, Sister Mei walked out of the room. A middle-aged woman stood in front of Sister Mei with tears on her face.

Sister Mei didn't speak, she looked at the woman in front of her, and then started busy with the work in hand.

The woman knelt down to Sister Mei with a plop, tears streaming down her face, as if they would never end.

"Xiaomei, I'm sorry, mom is leaving," the woman said.

Sister Mei didn't speak, she was still busy with the work in hand, as if she didn't hear her mother's words.

"I know you hate me, but I can't help it!" Sister Mei's mother said. "Your father is a bastard. I can only live if I leave. It is my mother who has no ability and can only take your brother away."

Sister Mei's mother cried heart-rendingly, her body trembling non-stop.It was late autumn at that time, and after the wind blew, the withered and yellow leaves fluttered down. Sister Mei took a look and couldn't help sighing, because she had just swept the yard, and now she had to sweep it again.

"I'm sorry, Mom is sorry for you." After speaking, Sister Mei's mother kowtowed to Sister Mei three times, and her head was broken.

Sister Mei started to sweep the yard, but still didn't say a word.Sister Mei's mother stood up tremblingly, glanced at Sister Mei, and left reluctantly.

Outside the gate, a man and a little boy were sitting in a carriage. Seeing Sister Mei's mother coming out, the man immediately complained loudly, "Why are you so slow? It's almost dark."

"Sorry, I……"

"Okay, let's go quickly." The man said, and then drove away in the carriage.

Sister Mei stopped what she was doing and looked up at the sky, tears streaming down her face.

That day, Sister Mei was abandoned by her mother. She stood in the yard and cried for several hours, and finally her tears dried up.

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Jiajia asked.

"Nothing? I remembered some things from my childhood." Sister Mei rubbed her eyes.

"What's the matter? Tell us."

"It's just some small things, don't talk about it."

Li Hao saw that Sister Mei was thinking of something sad, so he gave Cheng Jiajia a wink and told her not to ask any more questions, but Cheng Jiajia didn't understand Li Hao's meaning at all.

"Sister Mei, what kind of place did you live in when you were young?" Cheng Jiajia asked, holding her chin.

"Two dilapidated houses, with a large yard in front. There is a big tree growing in the corner of the yard. In autumn, the leaves are falling loudly, and you can't sweep them away no matter how hard you sweep them." Sister Mei recalled. explain.

"That's great, I want to live there too." Cheng Jiajia tried hard to imagine Miss Mei's childhood home, naively thinking that it was a good place.

For Sister Mei, that was where the nightmare started, and she hasn't been back for a long, long time.

After Sister Mei's mother left, Sister Mei's father still drank heavily all day long, and often beat and scolded Sister Mei for trivial things.

Sister Mei has a tough temper, even if she is beaten, she doesn't cry or make noise, just like a wooden person.Sister Mei's father couldn't hear the wailing, and was often angrier and more ruthless, but Sister Mei still didn't let out a scream.During that time, Sister Mei was covered in bruises.

Seven-year-old sister Mei has also reached the age of school, but the family has no money, and the little money left is used by sister Mei's father to drink, so sister Mei can only stay at home and work.

When those students after school passed by the door of sister Mei's house, sister Mei's eyes were full of envy.

When Sister Mei was ten years old, Sister Mei's father owed money to others because of drinking. In order to pay off the debt, he sold Sister Mei to a human trafficker.

In order to control Sister Mei, the trafficker kept hitting her with a stick as thick as his fingers, but Sister Mei didn't react at all.So much so that the traffickers thought Sister Mei was mute, so they sold her at a low price.

The person who bought Sister Mei was a bachelor. Although he was nice to Sister Mei, he always tried to mess with Sister Mei.

One night, a drunken bachelor broke into Sister Mei's room and began to take off Sister Mei's clothes without saying a word. Fortunately, Sister Mei was resourceful and found an excuse to climb over the wall and run away.

From then on, Sister Mei secretly vowed that she must become a rich person, and she must have a lot of money.

In the days to come, Sister Mei still suffered a lot, but her resolute character made her survive.By chance, Sister Mei joined Nanchunyuan and worked there for 30 years.

"Sister Mei, I'm done." Li Hao put down his chopsticks.

"Are you full? Do you want another bowl?" Sister Mei picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm full." Li Hao said, and he saw a tear in the corner of Sister Mei's eyes.
