1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 217 Telephone
Meng Changli had already decided not to marry again the moment she got divorced.

She already has two daughters, so what's the point of getting married again? It will just mean finding another family to serve her.

She hadn't realized how comfortable her divorced life had been for the past six months, and she wouldn't want to suffer through that again.

Once the factory and wholesale department are completely stable, she will also go and experience college life.

Meng Shulan: "Do you want to tell your brother?"

These matters can be left to my eldest brother to handle.

Meng Changli is now one of the few female entrepreneurs in the city since its opening up. She is young and good-looking. Divorce and raising children are not a problem at all for the people around her.

She is capable, can make money, and runs such a big factory. If you really want to marry her, you won't have to worry about finding a job, let alone anything else.

Shortly after Meng Changli's divorce, the matchmakers in the village began to get restless. In the past six months, her business has grown and she has opened a factory, making her even more popular.

It’s just a pity that Meng Changli has no intention of remarrying.

Meng Shulan had no objection whether her sister found another partner or lived alone. She was just afraid that she would get into trouble and be harassed by others.

Meng Changli: "Don't bother. Just refuse him a few more times and he won't come."

After all, he will have to find another one no matter what. He will have to find a woman to share the burden of washing clothes, cooking, and raising the son left by his deceased wife. He will not stay with her for too long.

Meng Shulan still gave a few reminders, asking them to be careful and to speak up if they got into trouble.

Meng Changli: "I understand."

"Sister, I want to call Gu Hansong."

"Sure, you come and fight."

Meng Changli left the desk with her lunch box.

Meng Shulan picked up the phone and dialed.

Meng Shulan didn't know whether Gu Hansong had returned from Gangcheng. It was her first time calling him, and she was a little nervous.

Soon, the call was connected. After two rings, the person on the other end picked up the phone.

"Hey, Thunder Monkey, Lidu..."

They speak the local dialect there.

Meng Shulan was stunned at first, but after she realized what was happening, she asked, "Is it Jiang Jun?"

The voice sounded like Jiang Jun.

When did he learn the local dialect there? It sounds like that's how they ask questions.

The person on the other end of the phone paused, then asked tentatively, "Is that Miss Shulan?"

"Yes! Jiang Jun, it's me."

Jiang Jun's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Sister, are you looking for Brother Han?"

"Is he back?"

"If you call in the evening, I'll probably call back. I'm on my way now."

That's it.

"About what time? I'll call you in the evening."

"Around eight o'clock. Brother Han said yesterday that he would be back today. I wonder if he will call me when he leaves later."

Meng Shulan: "My sister has installed a telephone in her office. Please write down the number. When he comes back later, ask him to call me."

"Okay!"

After giving the phone number, Meng Shulan quickly hung up. Phone charges were not cheap in that era, so it was impossible to chat casually.

Meng Changli had almost finished her meal.

She asked, "Is he not here?"

Meng Shulan told her that Gu Hansong had called her back in the evening.

"Okay. I'll take you home after dinner. You can rest or read there. Come over for dinner later."

"it is good."

The two of them quickly returned to the house that Meng Changli rented.

Meng Changli had work to do in the afternoon and couldn't accompany her. Meng Shulan wanted to sleep for a while, but couldn't fall asleep. She stayed in her room reading. That night, after dinner at the wholesale department, Meng Shulan went to the office to wait.

At around 7:30, Gu Hansong called.

Meng Shulan: "You just arrived?"

Judging from his voice, he seemed to be out of breath.

Gu Hansong said "hmm", "How about you, have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"How did you feel about the exams the past two days?"

"It feels okay..."

The two chatted casually for a few minutes. It had been almost two months since they last saw each other, and they both had a lot to say to each other.

After chatting for about seven or eight minutes, Meng Shulan asked him, "How are things going over there? Do you have any plans to come back?"

Gu Hansong chuckled, "Miss me?"

In the past, Meng Shulan would have definitely changed the subject or expressed it with silence.

But today, she generously admitted: "Yes."

I really miss him.

Especially after knowing that Han Ning also had some memories of his previous life, I missed him even more.

Although Meng Shulan knew that even if he came back, he couldn't do anything, but having someone by her side was a different feeling.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Hansong was silent. It was unclear whether he was seriously thinking about the next work arrangements or was a little surprised by her change.

After a while, he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Meng Shulan was stunned for a moment, and in her heart she was impressed by this person's sharpness. She smiled and said, "What's the matter? I just miss you, is that okay?"

At the office door, Meng Changli, who had just pushed the door open and was about to come in, was caught off guard and overheard something. She stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or out.

When Meng Shulan raised her eyes, she saw her sister. Her heart skipped a beat and she turned sideways silently, her face flushed.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Hansong smiled again, then said, "Of course. Next month, I'll handle things as quickly as possible, and I'll pick you up here once you get the notice."

That's more or less.

Meng Shulan also laughed. The two families had discussed it before leaving and decided to get engaged before college. This person never mentioned it, and she didn't know if he still remembered it.

Meng Shulan smiled and said, "Okay."

Gu Hansong: "Good luck on tomorrow's exam."

"Got it. You too, all is well."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Shulan breathed a sigh of relief and said to her sister at the door, "Not coming in?"

Meng Changli: "Why don't you chat a little more?"

Meng Shulan: "I'm just worried about the high phone bill."

"I'm a factory manager now, after all. I can still afford this phone bill..."

The two sisters chatted from time to time.

Thousands of miles away in Nancheng, Gu Hansong was sitting in a leather chair and letting a familiar doctor treat the knife wound on his arm.

In order to facilitate handling, he had taken off the black shirt he was wearing when he came back. From a distance, it seemed nothing, but when you got closer, you would find that the blood had dyed his entire arm and the hem of his shirt red.

Jiang Jun and Shen Chengyuan were there.

Neither of them dared to speak, and they both held their breath and stared at the doctor.

After about half an hour of injections and stitches, the finger-long wound was finally sutured.

The doctor packed up his medicine box and told a few people about the precautions for follow-up care, such as not to get wet for a few days, how to change the dressing, how to take the prescribed medicine, pay attention to infection, possible fever, etc.

"If you have time, it would be best to stay in the hospital for two days."

Gu Hansong shook his head, "It's just a minor injury, not worth it."

No bone damage, not deep.
