1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 184 Can’t Let Go

Meng Shulan blushed and the people who were gossiping laughed at her. When she returned to the team, everyone asked her what gifts she had received.
Although she had her back to this side just now, some sharp-eyed people still saw it.

Meng Shulan said calmly, "Nothing."

She didn't want to take out such a good thing and show it to anyone, so she had already put it in her schoolbag.

"Eh……"

Everyone showed a meaningful look of disappointment.

Although Meng Shulan had no intention of showing off and didn't take anything out, everyone still couldn't help but scream.

That’s great, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

I’m so envious. When will they be able to find someone as handsome and capable as Teacher Gu?

It’s a rare opportunity that we don’t have to sit in the classroom, so we can all relax.

A group of people surrounded Meng Shulan, asking her about her and Gu Hansong, when they would get engaged, etc.

Although I still have to go to college and can’t get married, I can get engaged first!
Meng Shulan did not give a direct answer. The college entrance examination had not yet ended, so no matter what happened, we had to wait and see.

It was lively here, but at the back of the crowd, Zhang Yimei felt uncomfortable.

Although she already knew that the two were dating, she still couldn't bear to see them being so affectionate in front of her.

Zhang Yimei tightly grasped her backpack bag, clenched her teeth, and her eyes were so sharp as if there was a knife hidden in them.

Beside her, Zhang's mother patted her daughter's shoulder and gently advised her, "The world is big, there is no shortage of outstanding men. Do well in the exam, you still have a long way to go in the future."

Zhang Yimei likes Gu Hansong and has been rejected before. Zhang's mother knows this.

That day, Zhang Yimei's confession was rejected and she ran back crying. Zhang's mother happened to be there and showed concern for her daughter. Zhang Yimei then told her mother what she was thinking.

Zhang's mother must know about Gu Hansong. He is very outstanding and even the city leaders praise him highly. It is normal for her daughter to like him.

It’s a pity that he already has someone he likes.

Zhang's mother would definitely advise her daughter to let go, saying that it's not difficult to find a man.

But it’s not so easy for Zhang Yimei to let go.

She actually tried to bury that person deep in her heart, but it didn't work. Every time she saw Meng Shulan smiling, she felt very uncomfortable.

She was not convinced as to why she could get the person she liked.

It was because of this that Zhang Yimei secretly spread the news that Meng Shulan was dating.

Anyway, there were rumors that Meng Shulan was looking for a village man before, and she just went along with it. She didn't say whether it was true or not, and let everyone judge for themselves.

She didn't think too much about it at the time. She just wanted to fill Meng Shulan's void and disgust her a little so that she wouldn't be either complacent or happy all day long.

Zhang Yimei felt that no matter how capable Gu Hansong was, his household registration and food supply were still in the village, and his identity as a villager was undeniable.

Even if Meng Shulan knew about this and questioned her, there would be nothing she could do because she didn't lie.

Zhang Yimei felt that her plan was perfect, but she didn't expect Gu Hansong to come to the school to be an English teacher.

That day, the principal personally accompanied Gu Hansong and introduced him in front of everyone. The words of praise and admiration immediately pushed this man to a height that everyone looked up to.

A genius who taught himself in a difficult and simple environment, who cares about his identity!

Words like "villager" and "only has primary school education" only make his resume more legendary and add icing on the cake.

Originally, she wanted to give Meng Shulan a hard time, but who knew that it would make her look good instead.

In the past half month, although Zhang Yimei seemed fine on the surface, she was actually feeling more and more depressed and even started to suffer from insomnia at night.

Seeing that the preliminary exam was approaching, Zhang's mother didn't dare to say anything too harsh and could only persuade her carefully.

Zhang Yimei wasn't a child, so of course she knew. But...

"Mom, stop talking. I understand."

I understand, but I just can't let go.

Mother Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the school started gathering for a meeting and they were about to get on the bus.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother had nothing more to say and followed the crowd of people who were seeing her off to the side of the road.

All five classes have arrived. Before leaving, the principal gave a speech first, and then it was the mayor's turn.

In short, the time to change your destiny has come. Everyone should work hard. Whether you can enter the college entrance examination depends on this preliminary examination.

Everyone was very excited and kept clapping.

After the speech, each class lined up to get on the bus and said goodbye to their relatives on the roadside.

Meng Shulan also waved to her family, and Gu Hansong had gone to the Meng family at some point and stood with everyone.

After a brief farewell, the car quickly went down the slope and headed towards the county town.

This trip took more than two hours, and it was almost noon when we settled down there.

As the car left the town, Meng Shulan saw many people taking out books and notes, and it seemed that they were getting ready to start studying.

Although the teacher had told us to relax more and not push ourselves too hard in the last two days, at the critical moment of life and death, no one was willing to let go, even for a minute.

Seeing that everyone was watching, Meng Shulan also took out her English notes.

She had already rested for half a day yesterday, so she was in good spirits today and kept taking notes until she got off the bus.

The school had booked a guesthouse in advance. Everyone went there to put down their belongings, and the class teacher organized and took everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

The school has no unified rules for meals, so you can order whatever you want. After meals, you have free time, and you can go out for a walk or go back to the guesthouse to rest and read.

Not to mention those who need to go back to rest or read, students who go out for a walk should pay attention to the roll call at 8 o'clock in the evening and must return before then.

Meng Shulan and Hu Bifang had this meal together. They did not save money and ordered one meat and one vegetable, plus two bowls of three-ounce rice.

While eating, Meng Shulan asked Hu Bifang about her afternoon plans.

Hu Bifang didn't go anywhere and wanted to go back to the guesthouse to read.

"Shulan, are you going out?"

Meng Shulan thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go see my cousin. She's studying at No. 2 Middle School."

It has been a long time since I heard from Meng Danhong. Now that I have come to the county, Meng Shulan wants to go see her.

Hu Bifang: "Then I'll accompany you."

"No, go back and read. I'll ask the homeroom teacher how to get to No. 2 Middle School, and then we can take the bus."

Hu Bifang: "I'd better go with you. Today, several college entrance examination candidates from the town have come to the city, and there will be a lot of people."

This is also true.

Meng Shulan: "Thank you."

After dinner, the two found their class teacher and told him about going to No. 2 Middle School to look for someone.

No. 2 Middle School is not far from here. You don’t need to take a car. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

The two of them memorized the direction and were about to go there, but they ran into Meng Danhong at the door of the guesthouse.

Meng Danhong was carrying a cloth bag and must have also walked from school. Her forehead was covered in sweat. When she saw Meng Shulan, she quickly waved, "Second sister."
