1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 121 Mutual Consent
After school on Saturday afternoon, Meng Shulan prepared to return to the village with her schoolbag on her back.

When she arrived outside the school gate, she looked around and didn't see Gu Hansong. She was a little disappointed, but then she saw Shen Chengyuan standing at the intersection in front of her with a horsewhip and waving at her.

"Sister, here, here."

Meng Shulan smiled, said something to Hu Bifang, and hurried over.

She originally thought that Gu Hansong was there too, but when she got there, she saw only Shen Chengyuan driving Gu Hansong's mule cart.

"Sister Shulan, Brother Han went to the city. I'll take you back today. Also, when he left, Brother Han said he would definitely come back tomorrow morning, so you can rest assured."

Shen Chengyuan kept laughing while he spoke, and his meaning was obvious.

Meng Shulan felt a little embarrassed by his laughter and hurriedly urged him, "Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and get in the car. Oh, let's stop at the cinema. I want to go see my sister."

"Good."

The car arrived at the cinema and Meng Shulan got out. She originally wanted to invite Shen Chengyuan in for some tea, but he said he wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something and asked Meng Shulan to find him there later.

There was a market in town today, and the store was open for business this morning.

Meng Shulan saw a big-character poster at the door of the store asking for the collection of sewing machines. She read it carefully before going in.

"sister."

As soon as Meng Shulan entered, she heard the clicking sound of the sewing machine.

Meng Changli was sitting in the workshop on the left, teaching. There were four or five women around her, all of whom came from the village.

When they saw Meng Shulan, everyone greeted her.

Meng Changli gave the cloth in her hand to the people around her to try, took her sister to the main room, poured her some hot tea, and the two sisters sat inside and talked.

"Sister, where are Hui Na and Si Jia?"

"He was here just now. He must have gone to the cinema with Yao Chonghui."

There is a family compound behind the cinema, which is bigger than theirs.

The two sisters talked about their business in the past few days.

At present, five people have been invited. Director Tang introduced Meng Changli to a loan of 1,000 yuan from the bank. She received a second-hand sewing machine these days and has started using it.

Meng Changli went to school and told her sister about these things two days ago, but when they met today, she couldn't help but mention it.

When talking about going to the bank to apply for a loan, Meng Changli laughed again.

"By the way, do you know who came this morning?"

Meng Shulan put down the teacup and looked at her sister.

Meng Changli covered her mouth and laughed. "Two old men from the Huang family came. They said they were here to see the two children, but they didn't buy anything and came empty-handed. After a few arguments, I realized that they saw that I had come to town to open a shop and wanted to settle some marital property division with me. They also wanted to make a fortune from me. But when they heard that I had a thousand yuan loan from the bank, they were scared and ran away immediately."

Meng Changli was a little scared at first because she had borrowed so much money and had to pay interest every month, but she was happy this time.

Meng Shulan: "Sister, have you made any progress in your divorce case? When will it be opened?"

Meng Changli: "I've asked the Women's Federation. Maybe next week. Then I'll have to go to the county."

Meng Shulan nodded. "By the way, didn't Gu Hansong bring you some books when he went to South City this time? I'd like to invite him over for dinner tomorrow. What do you think?"

Although she has this plan, Meng Shulan has not told her family yet.

"Sure!" Meng Changli agreed without hesitation, "Did he agree?" This time, Gu Hansong brought her about ten books, including magazines and teaching books. Meng Changli has been staying up late to read them recently. She is so precious.

He traveled thousands of miles, but I didn’t expect that he still cared about them. Gu Hansong is really a good person, so nice.

I was just too polite. I invited him to dinner several times but he didn't come.

Meng Shulan: "I mentioned it last time we met, and it should be no problem this time. I've already agreed."

Meng Changli: "Okay, the store is closed tomorrow. I'll go buy groceries in the morning and prepare a delicious meal. You just need to bring the guests over. Talk to my parents and have everyone come here for lunch tomorrow."

Now that the store has hired people, they can't work day and night like before. Employees need rest, and this has been written into the contract in advance.

The current situation is that we have one day off every week. If it is a busy time like market day or the end of the year, we will adjust the day off.

After discussing the dinner party for tomorrow, Meng Shulan left with her things.

She arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and Shen Chengyuan was already waiting there.

It takes half an hour to drive from the town to Yantang Village.

The two chatted for a while on the way, both of them were talking about how Shen Chengyuan and his brother had followed Gu Hansong to South City some time ago.

The last two times she met Gu Hansong, time was too tight and neither of them mentioned these things. After hearing what Shen Chengyuan said, Meng Shulan realized that this time Gu Hansong not only went to Nancheng, but also to Gangcheng.

Shen Chengyuan also whispered to Meng Shulan, "Sister Shulan, don't tell anyone about Brother Han going to Gangcheng. Not even your sister can do that. Brother Han also gave me a gag order, and it was because of you that I told anyone."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Brother Han looks so glamorous this time, having brought a lot of things and even got a machine for the noodle factory, but when you hear him mention going to Gangcheng, it still sounds quite dangerous.”

This time, Gu Hansong went with a local and did not bring the Shen Chengyuan brothers.

Shen Chengyuan said these things, firstly to praise Gu Hansong for his ability and being awesome, and secondly to make Meng Shulan feel sorry for him and hope that they could get together sooner.

In Shen Chengyuan's eyes, the two people were interested in each other, but he was not sure what was missing and why they hadn't taken the final step.

It turns out that he has been going not only to Nancheng but also to Gangcheng for so long!

In this day and age, if you want to go to Hong Kong, you should find your own way. After all, it is too difficult to go there through official channels, and ordinary people can't go there at all.

Meng Shulan smiled, then her expression changed. She hit Shen Chengyuan hard on the head with the book. "Since Gu Hansong told you not to tell me, why did you bring it up to me? How can you be his brother when you're so talkative? Tomorrow, when Hansong comes back, I'll report you!"

Meng Shulan is serious.

If this kind of thing were heard by someone with a keen eye, it would be a terrible thing.

When Shen Chengyuan heard this, his face changed. He was so scared that he dropped the whip in his hand and almost knelt down to Meng Shulan.

"Sister, sister, please don't do that. If you tell me, I'm done for. Brother Han will kick me out.

Sister, I saw that you and Brother Han are in love with each other, so you will be my sister-in-law from now on, so I said this! "

This is what Shen Chengyuan meant.

Meng Shulan will not forgive easily. Shen Chengyuan is a simple-minded man with a big mouth. If he is not taught a lesson, he will ruin Gu Hansong's things in the future.

The two men were in a stalemate, one begging for mercy and the other with a cold face, when Jiang Xiuzhen came over carrying a small bamboo basket.

"What are you two doing here?"
