1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 16 It's Really Stupid
Meng Shulan remembered that in her previous life, not long after her birthday, the things that happened in her sister's family broke out.

The problem was quite serious, and my sister even considered getting a divorce.

But in this day and age, especially in rural areas, divorce is still an extremely shameful thing.

No one wants to be the topic of gossip for others after dinner. Even if there is something wrong between husband and wife, they have to swallow it down.

So, after my brother stepped forward and my brother-in-law wrote a letter of guarantee, the matter was over.

But how can we have a good life if we just make do? Besides, the original problem has not been properly solved and the contradiction still exists.

Because of marriage, my sister, who was originally very generous and cheerful, lost her smile and numbed herself with labor and work every day, which led to the accident in which her finger was crushed by a machine.

Thinking of this, Meng Shulan clenched her teeth with hatred.

Meng Changli looked at her sister's serious expression, feeling a little surprised. She touched the braid on her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so serious?"

Meng Shulan: "Nothing. I just want to tell you that even if you get married, you are still my sister and my parents' daughter. We are your strongest support."

Meng Changli burst out laughing. "What are you doing? You're making me feel like I've been wronged. I'm fine, your sister. Stop imagining things and focus on studying."

My sister is like that, she only reports good news and not bad news.

When she first went to visit her relatives, several families came to visit her, and she chose her brother-in-law herself.

My sister is too strong-willed. She feels that it was her own choice and she can't blame anyone else. There's no point in regretting it, so she just grits her teeth and holds on.

She didn't know that life didn't have to be like this.

Who hasn't made the wrong choice of person and taken the wrong path when they were young? It is better to stop the loss in time and start over, instead of going down a dead end and suffering not only yourself but also your children.

Meng Changli kept silent, so Meng Shulan didn't ask any more questions.

The opportunity for my sister's marriage to change is not now, but in the near future.

Meng Changli didn't stay here for too long. After dinner, she sat for a while and then went home with her two children.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, He Jinqiu made a bowl of noodle dumplings for her little daughter with the leftover broth from lunch. After eating, she sent her to the village entrance to wait for the bus to school.

The weather is good today, it's not raining and the road is dry.

However, it was not convenient for Meng Shulan to walk with a bag on her back, so she had to take a car.

On market days, even though it's very late, there should still be cars.

When He Jinqiu arrived at the village entrance, he saw a mule cart not far away.

"Hey, that's Gu Hansong, right? He looks like he's going to the town on a carriage."

Gu Hansong?
Meng Shulan looked over and saw him.

Although he had his back to this side, he was tall and his temperament was different from that of ordinary people, which could be seen at a glance.

Is he going to town?

Meng Shulan couldn't understand. He was just working on the frame with his back to them. Who knew whether he was going to unload the car or put it on?

He Jinqiu said, "Let me ask."

But before she could open her mouth, a small donkey cart drove out of the village, and the driver greeted the mother and daughter with a smile.

"Shulan, let's go to school. Come up. I happen to be free today to take Xiaoran there. You two can go together."

The person who came was the village chief of Yantang Village, Ye Pingshun, Ye Ran’s father.

Yantang Village is large and is divided into upper village and lower village.

The Meng family lives in the lower village, and the Ye family lives in the upper village.

During the day since she came back, Meng Shulan didn't see her, not sure if Ye Ran was avoiding her intentionally.

However, the two of them are from the same village, the same school and the same class, so they will meet sooner or later.

To be honest, Meng Shulan didn't want to get together with Ye Ran. Not to mention that they were the original wife and the mistress in their previous life, Meng Shulan was extremely disgusted and looked down upon Ye Ran's actions at this moment. She felt that she would lose value if she got along with such a person.

But then he thought again, he hadn't done anything wrong, so why should he avoid her? She should be the one feeling guilty.

So Meng Shulan didn't hesitate, said thank you, and got into the car directly.

When Ye Ran saw her coming up, she rolled her eyes, pretended to lift her hair, and looked away.

Meng Shulan laughed inwardly. She hadn't done anything wrong yet, but she got angry first. She didn't know why.
Is it because you are shameless?
Meng Shulan smiled and didn't want to pay attention to her. She said a few words to He Jinqiu and the car left.

He Jinqiu sent his daughter away and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, she glanced at Gu Hansong in the distance and saw that he had parked the bicycle frame on the side of the road and was leading the mule to eat grass.

It turned out that he was not going to town, but to release the mules.

He Jinqiu entered the village.

Gu Hansong glanced over here and continued to release his mule.

In the grass by the roadside, five-year-old Gu Yue stood up, beating the grass with the dry branch in his hand boredly, and asked Gu Hansong curiously, "Uncle, didn't you say you were going to town?" Why are you releasing the mule again?

"No."

Gu Hansong lowered his eyes to hide the embarrassment in them.

"what?"

The little girl frowned and tilted her head, "You just said you were going to go, and you told me to go home."

Gu Hansong: "I lied to you."

Gu Yue: “…”

Do adults like to tease children so much?
……

The wind in late autumn is already biting when blowing on people's faces.

Meng Shulan tightened her collar, listened to the creaking sound of the wheels, and spoke to Ye Pingshun intermittently.

It was Ye Pingshun who started the conversation, asking Meng Shulan about her last exam results, which university she planned to apply to, liberal arts or science, whether she had confidence, etc.

Meng Shulan didn't want to answer him. This person was not concerned about her, but was asking about the situation.

Since the college entrance examination was relaxed a few years ago, it has become somewhat difficult to get into high school. Meng Shulan and Ye Ran happened to be in that class.

There were six or seven people in the entire village who took the high school entrance examination, but only the two of them passed.

Meng Shulan has good grades and is in the top ten in her grade.

Ye Ran is average, in the middle position.

From then on, Ye Pingshun intentionally or unintentionally created opportunities for the two of them, allowing them to become good friends.

Ye Pingshun had been the village chief for over a decade, and his insights and perspectives were much more complex than those of ordinary people. Meng Shulan had good grades and the opportunity to go to college, so she could help her daughter with both her studies and her future career.

It is definitely better to build a good relationship with such people than with those peasants in the village.

At that time, Meng Shulan was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She had no idea about the complexity of human nature and thought that Ye Pingshun, the village chief, was a very good person.

In her previous life, her relationship with Ye Ran was indeed good at the beginning. After all, they were from the same village, had many opportunities to interact with each other, were young, and didn't have too many ideas, so they could naturally play together.

But later, when Han Ning transferred to the school, Ye Ran started to become a little weird, and her behavior made Meng Shulan puzzled.

At that time, when Meng Shu saw Ye Ran getting close to someone else, he felt stupidly sad for a moment, wondering if he had done something wrong and had offended her.

Now I think about it, I was really stupid in other aspects except for rote learning.

Ye Ran was obviously jealous that I had stolen her man.
