1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 8 Meng Family
How could Meng Shulan possibly attend this sprint class?

In her previous life, she attended a sprint class in the city in the second semester and attended for three full months.

But in these three months, the expenses for tuition, accommodation, living expenses and various books and papers cost nearly two hundred yuan.

Where does this money come from?
Of course, they were all given by my brother.

The financial resources of the Meng family over the years have all been provided by Meng Chenggong, who is in the army.

There is no way, it is really difficult.

Meng Fude was born with a disability and had a limp. He walked slower than others and naturally could not earn any work points.

At that time, the Meng family had elderly parents and hungry children. Not only was the food they earned each year not enough to eat, but they also had to owe food to the production team.

During those ten years, the family had incurred a lot of foreign debts in order to make ends meet. It was only after Meng Chenggong joined the army and received an allowance that gradually increased from two or three yuan per month to more than 40 yuan today that the family's debts were gradually repaid.

Therefore, the financial situation of the Meng family was not easy. In addition, Meng Shulan was studying and taking care of the two elders. She spent all the money and had no money to save at all.

Now if Meng Shulan wants to go to the city to attend sprint classes, she has to find her brother.

But now, my brother is married and is no longer alone. He has a son to support. If I want my brother to pay for my own affairs and family matters, I can no longer take it for granted like before. I have to at least discuss it with my sister-in-law.

But in the previous life, I don’t know what my brother said to my sister-in-law, because of this matter, the two of them had a big fight.

They had some personality clashes to begin with, and their already shaky marriage became even more unstable.

In fact, my sister-in-law Xu Huajun is a good person and there is nothing wrong with her moral character.

Although my brother and I met through an introduction, we were attracted to each other and had a foundation of affection for each other.

My sister-in-law knew that my brother sent money home every month before we got married. She didn’t care about the money. All she wanted was an attitude.

Of course, my brother did tell his wife, but he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. When he did say it, he only spoke to my sister-in-law without listening to her opinion.

My sister-in-law is a strong-willed person. She thinks that since she already has children, she must be the one to take care of the household. Naturally, she feels uncomfortable about this, and the couple is bound to have a quarrel.

In the past two years, my brother and sister-in-law have been having a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days. Although personality incompatibility is the main reason, those seemingly trivial things in life are the fuse!
In my previous life, my brother and sister-in-law divorced during my freshman year, but they kept it a secret from my family.

Later, I couldn't hide it anymore and my family found out.

My brother had been divorced for three years at that time. My mother was so angry about it that she fell ill and looked much older.

After the divorce, my brother had no intention of looking for another wife, and my sister-in-law was also living alone with my nephew.

When they divorced, both of them were holding a grudge and were actually a little reluctant to let go.

Later, my brother grew older and his temperament changed a lot. He and his sister-in-law also planned to remarry, but fate played a trick on him. He had an accident and lost one of his hands. He retired from the army and returned home, completely giving up those thoughts.

in case……

Alas, let’s not talk about what ifs.

Meng Shulan: "Dad, Mom, I'm not going to any sprint class, not now, and not next semester. Dad, don't go to find my brother, don't go, and don't write to him to say anything.

Although my brother's monthly allowance is not small, he is now married, a husband, and a father of a son. He also has difficulties, needs help, and is in trouble.

So don't mention the sprint class anymore."

In my previous life, my brother and sister-in-law wanted to remarry after their divorce. In this life again, I will definitely try to avoid divorce.

Not only did she write letters to persuade her brother to be humble, but she also tried not to bother him with household matters, especially her studies.

As long as my brother's marriage remains intact and he has his sister-in-law to look after him, maybe that accident could have changed his fate and completely reversed it.

He Jinqiu was a little surprised. His daughter was very happy when they discussed that she would go to the cramming class next semester. Now that it was earlier than planned, shouldn't she be even happier? Why was she unwilling again?

"Shulan, it's okay. Your brother said he would help with the money. If we sell some food at home, we can definitely make up for it."

He Jinqiu thought her daughter was worried about money and quickly comforted her.

At the beginning of the year, the fields had just been harvested, and the grain produced was barely enough to fill the stomach, so what was there to sell?

Meng Shulan shook her head. "Mom, I'm not going. My teacher said before that those crash courses in the city are all about the money. What they teach is pretty much the same as in school. The so-called learning experience depends on the individual and can't be generalized."

Since I didn’t learn much and had to spend such a large amount of money, it’s not worth it at all.

Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam next year and I won't let you down."

In her previous life, Meng Shulan had attended a sprint class. The content taught there was indeed not much different from that taught in school. The only difference was that it also discussed current social trends, which was of some help to the liberal arts.

If you have the spare money, it would be a good idea to go.

But given the current situation at home, Meng Shulan will definitely not go there again.

Moreover, she has lived a lifetime. Although she has forgotten a lot of book knowledge, she still has confidence in taking the college entrance examination.

Meng Shulan naturally wouldn't mention the money.

In order to let her study well, her family has never been stingy in this regard. If she was stingy with the money, her family might even force her to go.

He Jinqiu hesitated when he heard this.

Her son had mentioned tuition fees before, and she had done a careful calculation. Adding living expenses and other expenses, it was indeed a lot per month.

but……

He Jinqiu: "Why don't you ask your brother to go and ask around and find a good one."

Since it concerns their daughter's future, they, as parents, will help as much as they can.

Meng Shulan: "Mom, it's really not necessary. Our teacher said that the school will also set up a key class for the college entrance examination next semester to teach capable students together. With my current grades, there will be no problem getting in. The content of this key class is no worse than the sprint classes outside, and the key is that it is free."

There was no such thing as a key class for the college entrance examination. Meng Shulan just made up a little lie to get away with it.

He Jinqiu was silent.

In her mind, what is taught in the city must be better than what is taught in the town.

At this moment, Montford, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"Since there's this key class, let's just give it a try. If it doesn't work out, we can go back to the city for a quick sprint. The eldest is married now, with a wife and a child, so some things aren't as convenient as before."

Whenever there was anything going on at home, Mengfud would go to the city to look for his son. He knew more about the marriage between his son and his daughter-in-law than anyone else.
