After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Chapter 11: A Must

Qi Zhen's team had successfully obtained a portion of chicken breast meat. The meat dishes after that were basically not a problem for them. They would just take as much as they could. Even if they couldn't get it, it was fine.

The second bid for the beef underwent the same bidding process. This time, all three groups were participating in the bidding.

After Meng Chuyuan made the last bid, the other two groups did not follow. After all, their labor coins were limited. It did not feel worth it to compete for a portion of beef with seven labor coins.

In the end, Meng Chuyuan received one serving of beef for 7 labor coins.

After the beef was handed over to Meng Chuyuan's group, the production team quickly served the fish. Everyone looked up in unison. They could feel the pressure of the competition through the screen.

[Fish! It's finally on the auction table!!]

[I'm begging you, this fish must go to Ke Ke's group. They don't have anything at the moment.]

[What should I do if Qi Zhen wants the fish too? I like him and Ke Ke. If it really doesn't work out, I'll cut the fish in half. I really don't know who to choose.]

[Help, I feel that this auction will be very intense.]

When the director announced the start of the third round of bidding, Liao Jiake was the first to bid. "Five labor coins."

Qi Zhen: "Six labor coins."

When it was Meng Chuyuan's turn, she shouted without hesitation, "Twelve labor coins."

The moment she spoke, everyone fell silent. They did not expect her to bid so fiercely.

[F*ck! 12 labor coins. Isn't that ruthless?]

[There's so much food. Does she have to snatch the fish? She must be doing it on purpose.]

[Did she eavesdrop on the conversation between the other two groups just now? Otherwise, why would she start snatching fish?]

[A vase should drink more water. Why are you eating fish? Hurry up and give it to someone else.]

The director was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He held the small loudspeaker and reminded, "12 labor coins. Is there anyone else who wants it?"

Liao Jiake glanced at her sister. She had promised to buy a fish for her, so she didn't want to give up now. Just as she was about to raise her card to bid, Liao Jiake suddenly held her wrist and said disappointedly, "Forget it. 12 coins is too much."

Liao Jiake was a little unwilling. "Let's try. What if we can get it?"

"Can't you see that she's deliberately shouting louder? It means that she's determined to get it."

Liao Jiake: "…"

On the other hand, Qi Yan also analyzed this auction rationally. She reminded Qi Zhen, "Ah Zhen, let's not bid anymore. Leave some coins for other dishes."

Qi Zhen nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

After the director shouted 12 coins thrice, he hammered the hammer. "Deal!"

[What are you doing? You're letting her get the fish so easily?]

[No way, wuwuwu, the Goddess of Luck actually lost.]

[With Meng, this unlucky woman around, it will probably be very difficult for Ke Ke's luck to change again.]

[I'm so angry. Why doesn't anyone dare to compete with her?]

[How are they going to compete? They're bidding so fiercely because they don't want to leave any leeway for others.]

…

After the auction ended, Meng Chuyuan's group obtained two pieces of meat and three vegetables. In addition to beef and fish, they also got lotus roots, okra, and corn.

Qi Zhen's team had obtained chicken breast, pork ribs, and cabbage. The remaining ingredients were all for Liao Jiake's team.

The director announced that today's mission had come to an end. Everyone took the ingredients and was about to go back to cook when Liao Jiake suddenly walked to Meng Chuyuan's side.

Liao Jiake said in embarrassment, "Teacher Meng, can I exchange my roast duck for your fish? My sister wants to eat fish."

Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows. "Sorry, we're not trading this fish."

[Look, is this what a human would say?]

[Teacher Meng?? Is she worthy?]

[Ke Ke, leave quickly. Don't beg her. The roast duck is also very delicious. There's no need to exchange it with her.]

[What's there to be smug about? Who cares about her fish? Ke Ke, run away and don't get close to her. How unlucky.]

Liao Jiake saw that she had no intention of relenting, so she retreated. "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Lu Jinsen stood beside Meng Chuyuan and did not participate in the auction at all. He did not know what Meng Chuyuan would do in the next second.

However, that fish was too eye-catching. It was really difficult to ignore.

Lu Jinsen could not understand why Meng Chuyuan had bid for the fish and why he was unwilling to exchange it with others.

On the way back, Lu Jinsen could not help but ask, "Do you like fish?"

Meng Chuyuan tilted her head and looked at him calmly. "It's alright. I don't feel like eating it today."

Lu Jinsen: "…"

[She doesn't want to eat it? Then why did she take it back? Does she have a lot of money? She would rather waste it than give others a chance?]

[Is there something wrong with her brain? If she doesn't want to eat it, why didn't she give the fish to Ke Ke just now?]

[I really want to punch her. What the f*ck is she talking about?]

Not only did the audience not understand, but Lu Jinsen also could not see through her actions. He did not even know what to say about her.

Meng Chuyuan seemed to be in a good mood. She skipped along the way and even hummed a little tune.

Suddenly, Meng Chuyuan turned into another intersection. Seeing this, Lu Jinsen hurriedly stopped her. "That's not the way back."

"Who said I'm going back?" Meng Chuyuan turned around and glanced at him, but she did not stop walking.

Lu Jinsen was about to ask where she was going when he was interrupted by Meng Chuyuan's voice. "Grandma Zhang, I'm here to see you."

There was a family at the corner here, and they could be considered neighbors. Yesterday, Meng Chuyuan and the others had just moved into the adobe house and borrowed something from Grandma Zhang.

Grandma Zhang's legs were stiff. She used a walking stick all year round and liked to sit alone on a chair in the small courtyard in a daze.

Upon seeing Meng Chuyuan appear, Grandma Zhang smiled kindly and even wanted to stand up from her chair to welcome her.

"Just sit down. I'm just passing by to see you. I'll be back soon."

Lu Jinsen stood at the door and hesitated for a while. In the end, he followed her in. When he saw Grandma Zhang, he greeted her politely, "Hello, Grandma Zhang."

Grandma Zhang said incoherently, "Okay, okay."

"Yesterday, we took some meat and eggs from you. Today, we'll return you a bass." As she spoke, Meng Chuyuan picked up the fish in her hand and placed it on the small wooden table.

Meng Chuyuan said, "This fish is still fresh. I'll put it on the table for you."

Grandma Zhang was so touched that she did not know what to do. She reached out her wrinkled hand to hold Meng Chuyuan. "Thank you."

"We should be the ones thanking you. Sorry for troubling you yesterday."

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live-stream could no longer remain calm. Fans ran out to spam the bullet screen:

[I'm sorry. I misunderstood Sister Meng. I thought that she was blindly bidding because she was rich with labor coins, but in the end, that fish was for Grandma Zhang…]

[My words were too extreme just now. I apologize.]

[Oh my god, I suddenly feel like crying!]

[I miss my grandma. I haven't been back because of the epidemic. I really want to cry.]

[Sister Meng is still a little kind.]

[I apologize for my rash actions just now.]

[Lu Jinsen is strangely quite polite. I suddenly felt that he was a little handsome just now.]
