1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 112 Bow
So don’t mess with people who are straightforward, because in the end you will end up with a very ugly face.

Meng Changli stood in the crowd, clenching her fists and looking furious and angry. She was really angry.

At first, Meng Fude wanted to speak out to stop his daughter. After all, they lived in the same village and he was an honest man, so he didn't want to ruin their relationship.

But on second thought, those people were really going too far. Using the younger daughter's studies as an excuse not only touched the bottom line of the eldest daughter, but also the bottom line of their entire family.

Things have come to this point, and Ye Pingshun has no choice but to apologize.

His expression changed again and again. Finally, he gritted his teeth, revealed an unpleasant smile, and said to the onlookers, "It seems I've been meddling in this matter. I was a little worried that Brother Meng and his friends' business would affect Shulan. Now it seems that I'm shortsighted and failed to notice the changes above.

Brother Meng, Shulan, I'm sorry for both of you. You've made everyone unhappy."

Ye Pingshun wiped his face as he spoke, looking very sad, and then bowed to the people from the Meng family.

Ye Pingshun has been the village chief for more than ten years. No one knows what he is like outside, but in the village, he has never bowed his head to anyone.

This posture is almost his limit now.

The crowd watching secretly gasped. This time, the Meng family won completely.

After this incident, if the Ye family has any other ideas, they will have to think carefully.

This is the effect Meng Changli wants.

The Ye family is bad. They will do whatever they can to control you. If you don't hurt them, they will only become more aggressive.

Seeing Ye Pingshun bending over, Meng Fude approached him appropriately. "Village Chief Ye, Brother Pingshun, what are you doing? Be careful not to sprain your back. We're from the same village, so if there's anything, just talk it out. How could I really be angry with you..."

I've already apologized and bowed. What's the point of saying this now? It's just to save face.

The key point is that Ye Pingshun couldn't ignore it. He kept saying that it was okay and it was his fault. He also praised Meng Changli, saying that she was a person of good temperament and eloquence.

Soon, the scene became lively again.

Everyone was discussing business with each other. Since everything was going to be liberalized, why not everyone see if there was anything they could do?

For a time, many people began to think about this, and some bold ones even wanted to ask the Meng family about this matter to see if there was any way to make money.

But then he thought again, when Ye Pingshun had made things difficult for the Meng family before, they all joined in the commotion. Now he was asking them for help, would they pay any attention to him?

Alas, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.

Forget it, let’s think of a way to please him.

The bustle below the village could not be extinguished for a long time.

On the other side, the mother and daughter of the Meng family had already returned home with their belongings.

After returning to her own yard, Meng Changli breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed her sister and asked, "How did I behave just now?"

Meng Shulan gave a thumbs up.

"Sister, that's great. You have the potential to be a leader. Keep calm, don't panic when things get tough, seize the initiative, and prepare to be a big boss in the future."

Meng Shulan was not praising her sister, but her previous performance was really good.

Meng Changli laughed heartily, "From now on, I will be the person in charge of our stall. How can I handle it without some manners..."

At noon, there was fish, meat, and bone soup.

During the meal, He Jinqiu took out a large bowl, filled it with a bowl of radish and bone soup, and asked Meng Changli to send it to the Gu family next door.

Ever since Gu Hansong helped send Meng Shulan to her sister and helped the two sisters, He Jinqiu has been looking for opportunities to invite Gu Hansong over for dinner, but Gu Hansong never came. He Jinqiu was afraid of owing favors to others, so he would send a portion of the delicious food he made to his family, indirectly repaying the favor.

Meng Changli was working on the sewing machine, and Meng Shulan saw her and said, "Mom, I'll go take it."

"Row."

Meng Shulan held a large bowl and knocked on the door of the next door.

The gate was not locked, so Meng Shulan knocked once and pushed it open.

Grandma Wu was there, squatting at the kitchen door lighting the small stove. Meng Shulan went over and called her twice before she looked up.

Although Grandma Wu is in good health, her eyesight and hearing are no longer as good as they used to be.

"Hey, Shulan is here."

Grandma Wu looked at the food in her hands and sighed, "Your mother is such a person. Why did she send food here again? It's just a small matter. It's okay for the neighbor Han Song to help. Don't take it to heart. You are embarrassed by being so polite."

Grandma Wu is still very good at talking.

Meng Shulan smiled, "Grandma Wu, it's okay. Compared to the help Han Song helped me with, this little bit of food is nothing."

Meng Shulan put the bowl of food into the kitchen, and seeing that the stove had not been lit yet, she helped to light the fire.

It can be seen that the Gu family wants to cook noodles for lunch, and they also want eggs.

In fact, the Gu family's conditions are not bad. At least their living conditions are better than most people in the village.

But the situation in this family is too special. There are old and young people, and a bedridden father.

Meng Shulan heard that before the Gu family moved back, they all worked in the county and were the envied city dwellers.

But later, something happened to Gu Hansong's father, and it was heard that the compensation money was gone for some reason. The family could no longer survive in the county, so they returned to the village.

In Meng Shulan's impression, things were pretty good when the Gu family first moved back. Gu Hansong's sister was not married yet, and his grandfather was rehired working on the railway and received a monthly salary.

Although there was a paralyzed person in their family who needed care at that time, overall their situation was not bad.

However, after the Gu family's grandfather passed away and the family lost its source of income, the family's situation began to deteriorate.

Later, Gu Hansong brought back his niece who was still a baby from the neighboring county. Life became even more difficult. The family relied on the little income Gu Hansong earned in the village. They were not able to eat enough or wear warm clothes, and they owed the village money every year. Gradually, the reputation of their family being poor and burdened with heavy expenses spread.

But now it’s better, society is different, and the Gu family’s life will only get better and better.

Meng Shulan used dry grass to ignite a small wooden stick, and then placed the beaten coal blocks on the stick, and the small stove soon lit up.

She also helped put the pot on and boiled water before clapping her hands and going home to eat.

In the afternoon, Meng Shulan pretended to practice riding a bike, so that when she returned to school, she didn't need anyone to send her and could ride by herself.

Come to think of it, she hadn't ridden a bike in several years, and it felt pretty good to be on the road again.

The school has a special parking space for cars, right below the teachers' dormitory.

Meng Shulan locked the car and was about to go back to the dormitory with her things when she happened to meet classmates. There were quite a few of them, both male and female.

Meng Shulan knew that these people came early to ask the class teacher about their grades.

She thought that since she had met him, she casually asked him how he did in the exam.
