1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 30: Profit-seeking
On the way back, I naturally met Gu Hansong again.

The man who was smiling cheerfully before, turned cold again when they met again. He sat in the corner of the last row and didn't even say hello. He just glanced at the two of them.

Meng Shulan: “…”

He couldn't be more cheerful.

If it were someone else, they would probably say that he was arrogant. Fortunately, Meng Shulan understood him, and Meng Changli was a nonchalant person. She even took the initiative to greet him and asked if she could take his mule cart when she went back.

Gu Hansong nodded generously.

The car wobbled out of the station and headed back.

Meng Shulan sat on the long wooden chair and looked at her cheat sheet again.

In the corner diagonally behind, Gu Hansong glanced at the scenery outside the window, then glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.

When we got back to town, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

Gu Hansong’s car hasn’t arrived yet, so the three of them have to wait at the town entrance.

Meng Changli wanted to go to the town primary school to see her husband Huang Jialin.

Huang Jialin was the only son of the secretary's family when the commune was still there.

Because of his father's relationship, Huang Jialin also went to the commune to work as an accountant after graduating from high school. He received work points and salary, and he has always lived a good life.

It was at the beginning of the year that the fields were settled and the commune was disbanded, and self-recruited people like Huang Jialin lost their jobs.

However, because of his family connections and the fact that he was an only son, Secretary Huang did not want to see his only son become a peasant, so he gave up his position in advance and spent some money to bring Huang Jialin to the town to work as an office secretary.

She is called a secretary, but in fact she is just a handyman.

These days, because the town’s primary school was repairing a teaching building, he was assigned to supervise the work. He was eating and living in the school and had not been home for several days.

The station was not far from the primary school, and since she had to wait anyway, Meng Changli wanted to go over and see her husband.

If it were any other time, she wouldn't have made such a fuss. After all, it's not nice to keep others waiting when you're taking their car.

But today she went to the city, broadened her horizons, and had a strong desire to share, so she wanted to go over and take a look and have a few words.

Gu Hansong said: "Okay."

These two simple words mean that I am willing to wait.

Meng Changli laughed and felt that Gu Hansong was a very good person, different from what others said.

Meng Shulan said, "Sister, let me go with you."

Meng Changli quickly waved her hand, "No, no, you stay here and wait with me, I'll be back soon."

Now that both of them have left, it’s not good to leave Gu Hansong here alone. What if he runs away in a car?

Meng Changli trotted all the way.

Meng Shulan stood by the roadside for a while. Seeing Gu Hansong squatting on the stone steps under the sycamore tree, she also wanted to find a place to sit down. Then she heard the hurried sound of a bicycle bell. She looked up and saw Ye Ran and her second brother Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was riding an old bicycle with Ye Ran's schoolbag in the basket on the front and a cloth bag of grain hanging on the handlebars. It was obvious that he was taking his sister Ye Ran to school.

He rang the bell just now mainly to signal and say hello to the two people from the same village.

Ye Pingshun gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter.

Ye Ran was spoiled by her family, she has a bad temper and is arrogant.

The two sons of the Ye family are not bad. They have learned the essence of their father. No matter what their character is, at least they do a good job on the surface. They don't mind people like Gu Hansong who always have a cold face, and they will even take the initiative to greet them.

Meng Shulan smiled as a response.

Gu Hansong didn't say anything, but raised his eyelids and took a look.

Ye Feng didn't care at all. He even slowed down the car and asked Meng Shulan, "It's time. Why aren't you going to school?"

Meng Shulan said, "I have to go home. Something happened."

She had already asked for leave from her teacher yesterday and would not be back until tomorrow morning. Ye Feng: "Is that so? Then we'll go first."

Meng Shulan nodded.

The brother and sister continued forward.

Ye Ran didn't say a word during the whole process, but when she passed by Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong at the end, she glanced at them with her eyes slanted.

Everyone can feel the dissatisfaction and disgust revealed in that expression.

And her disdain was not only directed at Meng Shulan, but also at Gu Hansong.

Meng Shulan frowned.

She knew that Ye Ran had a grudge against her, but what did it mean when she looked at Gu Hansong with that kind of eyes?

Could it be that because Gu Hansong stood with him, he was also hated?
It's possible, after all, people like that are very narrow-minded.

If Ye Ran rolled her eyes at her, Meng Shulan would not think it was a big deal. After all, they didn't get along, so it was normal for her to behave like that and she would just ignore it.

But after treating Gu Hansong like this, she began to feel unhappy. The disgust in her heart kept coming out, and she muttered a few curse words under her breath.

Beside her, Gu Hansong looked over with some surprise and asked her, "What did you say?"

Meng Shulan was startled, coughed and said, "Nothing."

Gu Hansong was silent for a moment and said, "Like father, like son. The three siblings of the Ye family were all taught by Ye Pingshun. Ye Feng is the same as his sister Ye Ran, except that one is good at hiding, while the other is too stupid."

Fearing that she didn't understand what he meant, he added, "Ye Pingshun is a profit-seeking, selfish and narrow-minded person."

This person speaks in an elegant manner, using precise and appropriate words.

Meng Shulan smiled, "I know."

Ye Pingshun has been able to maintain his position as village chief for more than ten years, but it is not by serving the people. Don't be fooled by his cheerful appearance and good nature, he is actually full of calculations in his mind.

At the beginning, Ye Ran took the initiative to make friends with me. In fact, it was Ye Pingshun's teaching that he wanted me to take his daughter to study.

It's just because of Han Ning's incident that the two of them are now at odds.

In front.

Ye Ran was also talking to her second brother.

"Second brother, why are you greeting them?"

Look at how distant and cold those two people are. Isn't it just like trying to please someone else?

Ye Feng: "We're from the same village. If we bump into each other outside, are we supposed to just pretend we didn't see each other?"

Ye Ran said nothing.

Her father had taught her since she was young that no matter how unhappy she was, she had to pretend to be unhappy so that others would not find fault with her.

She understands the principle, but when asked to do it, she can't do it.

Ye Feng: "Your relationship with Meng Shulan has become strained, right?"

Ye Feng knew there was something wrong because his sister didn't say a word the whole time.

Ye Ran: "I despise her petty ways, and since we're not in the same dormitory, it's normal for our relationship to fade."

Because of Han Ning, Ye Ran had long hated Meng Shulan. When she entered the repeat class and was reassigned to a new dormitory, she simply went to hang out with the others.

It’s a good thing that the two of them are not together, otherwise, with their current dislike for each other, a lot of trouble would probably have occurred.

Ye Feng frowned, "Have you forgotten everything Dad said?"

Meng Shulan not only has good grades, but also has an older brother who is in the army. It is better to have a good relationship with such a person than with those country girls.

Ye Ran snorted, "There are so many students in the school, and she's not the only one with good conditions and good academic performance. Second brother, you think too highly of her. There are many students in our class who are better than her. What the hell is she, Meng Shulan?"
