1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 158: Will Not Back Down

The farce of He Jinqiu and He Saijun returning to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year ended when the eldest brother of the He family stepped in and asked his two sons to send He Saijun to another relative's home.

However, the matter between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong was eventually revealed.

Although He Jinqiu denied it on the spot, she was not a fool. After thinking about it carefully, she knew what was going on.

After having lunch at her mother's house, He Jinqiu returned home, put down her things, grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds, and went out. It was not known whether she was going to visit a neighbor or to look for someone.

Meng Shulan was a little confused. Wasn’t her mother going to ask about her and Gu Hansong?

Meng Shulan had already prepared to confess, but she didn't mention it on the way home. She was in a car with other people in it, so it was not convenient to say those things.

Now that I'm home, there are only my family members around, and I can ask them anything.

And she has already made up her mind. She will tell whatever they ask and will not lie to her family. Her relationship with Gu Hansong will not weaken.

If her family agrees, that would be great. If they try to stop her, she will overcome all difficulties and make everyone accept it.

Who knew that just when she made up her mind, her mother ran away.

Meng Shulan stood at the door of the main room, watching her mother walk out quickly, and for a moment she didn't know whether to call her.

At this moment, Meng Changli came over.

"Forget it, let Mom be quiet for a while and let her digest this matter herself."

Meng Shulan: "Sister, do you already know?"

Given my sister's personality, it's impossible for her to be so calm.

Meng Changli nodded, "I noticed it when we were in South City."

Meng Shulan laughed, "Dad's place, and those people in the store..."

Meng Changli sighed, "I was the one who advised Dad not to bring it up for now. Everyone is busy during the New Year and has no time to deal with these things.

I've also issued a gag order in the store and have been keeping it a secret.

I have a feeling Mom wouldn't agree, after all, you need to study. Gu Hansong is capable, I've seen that, and he's helped us a lot recently, so I think he's serious about you.

But no matter how capable he is, he's still just a villager. Although we all believe he'll make it out of here and make a name for himself, Mom might not want to take the gamble; she values the present. After all, this is the safest option."

My sister’s analysis is correct, and this is also what Meng Shulan is worried about.

Although He Jinqiu usually listens to her two daughters, Meng Shulan knows that she also has her own principles.

For example, her family would definitely not allow her to date Gu Hansong before the college entrance examination.

In the previous life, Han Ning came to the village and spread gossip to Meng Shulan. He Jinqiu didn't say anything openly, but still hinted that he should focus on his studies and deal with other things after the exams.

At that time, Han Ning had a gentle and elegant appearance, a good family background, and was a classmate of Meng Shulan. In the eyes of many people, he was actually a pretty good person.

He Jinqiu also liked him at that time, but still did not agree with his daughter having a relationship before the college entrance examination.

Firstly, they were afraid that it would affect their studies, and secondly, they were afraid that they would go their separate ways after the college entrance examination. Due to practical reasons, they would not be able to be together, which would only add to their troubles.

He Jinqiu's thinking was actually quite correct. She hadn't been reborn, so of course she didn't know Han Ning's true nature as a scumbag. Gu Hansong usually kept a low profile, and while she knew he was a good guy, that was only compared to an average person. Naturally, he wasn't a good match for her daughter, who was about to enter university.

For this year's college entrance examination, not to mention Meng Shulan, He Jinqiu is also very confident.

After all, my daughter got the first place in the grade. If she fails, won’t no one in the school be able to go to college?

This is totally unacceptable.

My daughter is going to college soon, and she and Gu Hansong are obviously not suitable for each other!

But now, we have talked about it, how should we deal with this matter?

For a moment, He Jinqiu didn't know. Her daughter had always been sensible and obedient since she was little, and she always granted her requests and rarely disciplined her.

If possible, He Jinqiu didn't want to stop her daughter from pursuing happiness. At most, she would advise her to wait until after the exams, saying that studying is more important.

But with Gu Hansong...

He Jinqiu only walked around outside for half a circle before coming back with the two handfuls of melon seeds in his pocket.

She didn't want to go around anymore. There was already a huge commotion outside. If she ran into someone, she would pull her aside and ask, "Is it true?" If it wasn't true, why didn't she stop it? It would be so ugly if it got spread. A good girl's reputation would be ruined.

He Jinqiu was already confused and angry at everyone's chatter, so he hurried back.

We really can't go on like this, we have to make things clear.

My daughter is going to college, so her reputation is very important. If something goes wrong, it will have a certain impact on her future work and dating.

After He Jinqiu had some words with a few villagers he was on good terms with, he finally figured out what was going on in his mind and decided to find his daughter to clarify things.

If this hadn't happened, she would have immediately stood at the gate and cursed to shut up those gossipers.

If it was true, she would advise her daughter to put her feelings aside first, focus on the college entrance examination, and then make a decision based on the situation after the exam.

It depends on the situation, but He Jinqiu feels that as long as her daughter goes to college and moves to the city and meets more people, she will naturally forget about Gu Hansong. She doesn't need to explain these things and things will get back on track.

So now it's just a delaying tactic, let's stabilize the two of them first.

He Jinqiu came back, followed by a group of gossipers who wanted to watch the fun.

However, before the matter was clarified, He Jinqiu couldn't let them laugh at his family, so he closed the door as soon as he entered.

It was already mid-afternoon and the whole family was there. The two little kids didn't go out. Meng Fude, who had gone to visit relatives during the New Year, had also returned and was chopping firewood in the yard.

The Meng family will also have several tables of guests tomorrow, because they have to start business on the fourth day of the New Year, and the family will be busy and there will be no one to cook. They have already notified in advance and all the relatives who want to pay New Year's greetings will be gathered tomorrow.

Meng Shulan had something on her mind, so she didn't go to her room to study in the afternoon. Instead, she was helping to prepare ingredients for tomorrow's dinner party in the kitchen.

When He Jinqiu returned home, she washed her hands and came out.

Upon seeing his daughter, He Jinqiu sighed first, then asked her, "Is what happened between you and Gu Hansong true?"

Meng Shulan: "Mom, come in and sit down and talk."

Seeing his daughter so calm, He Jinqiu felt very disappointed and had already thought about how to persuade her.

Just then, someone knocked on the Meng family's gate.

He Jinqiu had previously locked the door to keep out the people outside.

But now it’s Chinese New Year, so there might be guests coming.

"Who is it?" Mumford asked.

"Brother Ford, Sister Jinqiu, please open the door quickly."

The person knocking on the door was a villager.

Meng Fude frowned and was about to go over to see if there was anything wrong, but He Jinqiu said, "Don't open the door, it's nothing serious."

Those people just want to hear gossip.

After hearing what his wife said, Meng Fude stopped moving.

But the people outside had no intention of giving up, knocking even more urgently than before, "Brother Fude, Sister Jinqiu, someone is coming, someone from the city, come out and take a look..."
