1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 161: Angry to death
There is no secret about Gu Hansong.

Meng Changli didn't know either and just kept praising him blindly.

Anyway, everyone is just listening to gossip, so it’s okay if she brags a little.

Meng Changli wasn't sure whether the city had assigned Gu Hansong a mission last time, but he was taken away this time. With so many people watching, he must have been taken away because of a need and connections!
Meng Changli felt that although she had just made a blind guess, it was almost certain that this was the case.

When the villagers who were watching heard this, they all nodded.

There is no way. No one knows the situation, so I can only choose to trust Meng Changli.

The dam suddenly became lively. Everyone was talking about Gu Hansong. How did he get in touch with the city? He was just an elementary school student, so how could he speak English?

People didn’t think about it in this way before and thought it was impossible.

There are some signs now, and some things that were previously ignored are gradually being remembered by everyone.

Yes, although Gu Hansong stopped going to school after elementary school, he would always bring books with him when he was herding cattle outside.

At that time, Ye Pingshun even told him that if he didn't herd cattle properly, he would deduct his work points.

People who knew about this also felt that this kid was multitasking, that he had no intention of studying and was not working hard, and that he was not a down-to-earth person.

Now that I think about it, it’s not that he was not down-to-earth, but that he liked reading more.

Just like that, he taught himself without a teacher and even learned foreign languages.

How can this person be so capable? Could it be that the God of Literature has descended to earth?

Oh my god, why didn’t I notice it before?
Yes, yes, they are all short-sighted. In the past, Gu Hansong was away from home for very few days, and everyone thought he was just messing around outside and not doing his job. Who would have thought that he would actually make it to the city and show up in front of the leaders. Now that he has been taken away, finding a job should not be a problem for him, let alone anything else.

If I had known this earlier, I would have established a good relationship with the Gu family. Now that they are rich, maybe they can help me!

When they thought of this, everyone's eyes began to unconsciously look towards Meng Shulan again.

After all, scholars have good brains. How did she know that Gu Hansong was capable?
This vision is too poisonous!

Meng Shulan stood with He Jinqiu. Facing the gossipy looks of the crowd, she smiled and said nothing.

He Jinqiu was stunned, obviously still unable to recover from what had just happened.

She has decided to have a good talk with her daughter and let her let this matter go first.

Now it's like this...

He Jinqiu is just an ordinary rural woman, and her thoughts are sometimes no different from everyone else's.

Gu Hansong had nothing before, so she definitely didn't want her daughter to be with him.

But now that he has become capable and seems to be able to make a name for himself, her thoughts have begun to waver again.

If Gu Hansong has the abilities that everyone says he has, the marriage between the two families can be discussed. After all, the daughter likes him.

Meng Changli chatted with the people around her for a few words and then came to her sister.

She affectionately took Meng Shulan's arm and winked at her.

Meng Shulan whispered, "Sister, you've been bragging a lot today. Aren't you afraid that people will find out and gossip about you?"

Meng Changli disagreed, "What are you afraid of? As long as Gu Hansong himself doesn't say it, who else would know?"

Meng Changli winked at her sister and asked her to look ahead.

Meng Shulan followed her sister's gaze and saw Ye Ran with a face full of resentment in the crowd, and her second aunt Ding Guixiang who was so envious that she wanted to grit her teeth.

Meng Changli said, "Everyone is waiting to see our family become a laughing stock. I just want to brag and piss them off to death."

The news that Gu Hansong had been taken away by people from the city caused quite a stir in the village. Everyone stood on the dam for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Some gossipy people even went to ask Grandma Wu what was going on with Gu Hansong and when did he become involved with the people in the city?
Grandma Wu: "My Han Song is involved with someone from the city? Really?"

Everyone: "..."

Someone also pulled Gu Yue aside and asked her, "Your uncle went to the city. He's so capable. Did he bring you anything good for the New Year? Where did you buy this new dress? The little leather shoes are also very nice. How much are they?"

Gu Yue held a small branch in his hand and asked the man with a smile, "Do you have any candy? I want some candy."

The man laughed and quickly took out two candies.

Children are children, and they are easy to coax.

It’s a pity that Gu Yue took the candy and said directly, “I don’t know either.”

That afternoon, He Jinqiu did not go home and was kept being pulled outside to chat.

The Meng sisters made dinner in the evening. It was all the leftover meat and fish from the previous two days, with some vegetables added to make a complete meal.

At dinner that night, He Jinqiu arranged the dinner party for tomorrow and did not discuss anything else.

It seems that she has already tacitly agreed to the matter between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong.

In fact, it is not a default, but it is temporarily ignored.

Seeing that her mother didn't mention it anymore, Meng Shulan remained silent.

The next day, the Meng family hosted a dinner with four tables, and everything went smoothly.

At the dinner table, some people also talked about Gu Hansong.

Yesterday, city leaders came to the village to pick someone up. It happened to be Chinese New Year, and many people were visiting relatives, so the news quickly spread to several nearby villages.

Everyone was very moved that people who were usually inconspicuous suddenly became famous.

They really didn’t notice it before.

Someone also quietly asked He Jinqiu whether it was true that Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong were dating.

When this matter was mentioned, He Jinqiu changed the subject.

Their daughter is about to take the college entrance examination, and their family is not considering these things at the moment.

She just said she didn't consider it, and she couldn't answer whether the two young people were dating.

The Meng family's attitude was ambiguous, and everyone couldn't figure out whether those things were true or false.

Gu Hansong left and didn't come back until the evening of the sixth day of the New Year.

On this day, the store in Mengjia Town had been open for two days. All the staff were in place and work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

He Jinqiu and Meng Changli both went to the town, and Meng Shulan also packed up and came here. It just so happened that the seventh grade college entrance examination class had to attend tutoring, so she would stay in the town for a few days and then go back to school.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Shulan packed her things in advance and moved to the school. She carried a quilt on her back and held a bamboo mat in her hands. When she was halfway there, she felt her back lighten and someone picked up her backpack.

Meng Shulan looked back in surprise and saw Gu Hansong.

The man changed his clothes, wearing a white shirt and a dark gray jacket. He looked less formal and more casual, but he looked better and better.

Although he looks very handsome in a suit, he always feels too formal and mature. Now this outfit is more suitable for his current age and more in line with his temperament.

"You're back!"
