1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 87 Care

Chapter 87 Care
Because she was thinking about going out to the street to look for someone, Meng Shulan didn't take her rice bowl to the canteen to steam rice in the morning.

She was also going to eat out at noon, and since she met Gu Hansong, they might as well go together.

The state-owned restaurant serves meat and vegetables, but few people come in to eat. Most people order fried dishes, but steamed buns with porridge or a bowl of steaming noodles.

Gu Hansong asked her what she wanted to eat.

Meng Shulan was about to speak, but after thinking for a moment, she asked him again, "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Hansong: "Shredded pork noodles."

Meng Shulan: "Is four ounces enough?"

"enough."

Meng Shulan's eyebrows curved, "Wait."

She went to order the food and paid directly.

He has helped me so much recently, and I have been wanting to treat him to a meal for a long time.

Gu Hansong said nothing, not even thank you. He was much more generous than Meng Shulan, as if this was how they should be.

While the two of them were sitting there waiting for the noodles, Gu Hansong talked about what happened in the morning.

This morning, the Meng family's father and daughter first sent a telegram, and then went to the Women's Federation.

He definitely didn't go with them, but they met at the town entrance before leaving and talked for a few words.

Although Gu Hansong is not a member of the Meng family, he was present at the Tongguan Town incident and could be considered half a party to it. Meng Changli was also very grateful for his help at the time and did not hide this little thing from her and told him a brief account of it.

Besides, these things cannot be concealed, they will get out sooner or later.

However, apart from sending a telegram to Meng Chenggong, there was no other progress.

"The Women's Federation said they need to understand the situation first, so they asked you to wait. The police station is still handing over the case. It will probably take two to three days for your brother-in-law to be transferred here."

Meng Shulan: "I remember that the Huang family has some relatives with a certain county party secretary. If the case is really transferred, it may be disadvantageous to us."

The Huang family has connections, and that person is from the county. This matter is often rumored in the countryside.

Everyone said that it was because of this relationship that Huang Yaozhong became the secretary, Zhuang Bailu was able to join the Women's Federation, and Huang Jialin came to work in the town.

Nowadays, in small places like villages and towns, with high mountains and vast land, it is really difficult to get things done without some connections.

However, the Huang family did not mention these things openly, but heard them from people outside.

Of course, if these relationships really exist, it is not easy to tell others directly. After all, the Huang family members are not fools and they also have to pay attention to the impact.

At this time, the noodles came up. Meng Shulan's two taels of noodles came in a small soup bowl, while Gu Hansong's came in a large bowl.

The semi-handmade noodles from the noodle factory next door are yellow and white, with some small green vegetables, soaked in noodle soup with soy sauce, and then covered with half a spoonful of fried shredded pork and sprinkled with chopped green onions. It is delicious.

Gu Hansong mixed the noodles in the bowl, blending the oil from the shredded pork into the noodle soup, and said, "The Huang family has no connections in the county."

Meng Shulan was a little surprised, "No? That's what people outside say!"

Gu Hansong glanced at her and said, "Aren't your two families relatives? Don't you know all this?"

Meng Shulan: "That family likes to pretend. Sometimes when we mention it, they say nothing. Who knows if they are afraid that we will find it troublesome to ask them for help if we need anything."

Gu Hansong smiled and put the noodles he had picked up back into the bowl. "As far as I know, the Huang family has no connections in the county. They are just distant relatives of Secretary Wu in the town. Your brother-in-law's position in the town was arranged by Secretary Wu."

Meng Shulan was stunned. "So, what's being said is fake? The Huang family is just trying to make everyone think they have a strong backing, so they're always trying to curry favor with others and not dare to provoke them easily?"

Gu Hansong: "Maybe. I don't know what their specific thoughts are. I just want to tell you that that family is nothing. There is nothing to be afraid of. If there is anything to be afraid of, it is because they are afraid of your family."

Gu Hansong didn't fully explain what he meant.

But Meng Shulan understood after thinking about it that the relationship in a town could only have some effect in their small place. She also had her brother as a trump card. When it came to relationships, the city and the town were not on the same level.

That’s right… Meng Shulan thought of the beating her brother gave Huang Jialin in her previous life, and frowned slightly.

I hope that in this life my brother won’t be so impulsive and hit others.

In the previous life, because Huang Jialin was beaten badly by his brother, the Huang family seemed to have paid off their debt and were somewhat right.

I can't let them catch these little tails again in this life. If my brother beats someone up and is really investigated, it will be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Meng Shulan said to Gu Hansong, "By the way, will you be in town these two days?"

Gu Hansong glanced at her and continued eating noodles without saying a word.

Meng Shulan laughed, "My brother received the telegram, and I don't know when he will be back. As you know, my brother has a hot temper, and I'm a little worried that he will do something after knowing it. So, if my brother comes back, can you let me know?"

Although the telegram has been sent, it depends on my brother's schedule when he will come back, so it's impossible to say for sure.

The girl, wearing a big red scarf and with two braids hanging on her shoulders, looked at him with a sly smile.

Gu Hansong snorted coldly. She had always been rude when it came to giving him orders.

Smile at him when you need him to, and distance yourself from him when you don't.

Gu Hansong looked at the noodles in the bowl and suddenly felt like he couldn't eat anymore.

Meng Shulan: "What's wrong?"

She could see that Gu Hansong was angry, so she did have some ability to read people's expressions.

Thinking about what I just said, does he think it’s troublesome and doesn’t want to help me?
Indeed, Meng Shulan also felt that she had gone too far by blaming him for everything.

But she couldn't find anyone else except him.

Meng Shulan took a mouthful of noodles and smiled again: "If you have something to do, forget it. It's troublesome to go to town in such a cold day."

Today is Wednesday, and in three days it will be Saturday when I can go home, so the time should be about the same.

But Gu Hansong's expression did not ease, and he seemed to become even angrier as he stared at her.

This cold and lonely man rarely smiled and was not angry often. Meng Shulan was nervous when he looked at her. She asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

If you have something to say, just tell me clearly. Why are you looking at me?
It seems like I did something wrong...

Meng Shulan avoided his gaze, feeling a little nervous.

She still cares about this person very much.

At this time, the silent Gu Hansong finally spoke.

"Did you see it before?"

"Ah? What did you see?"

Meng Shulan was confused.

Gu Hansong: "On the grain dam."

"Ah! You're talking about this."

Meng Shulan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Did you find out?"

She thought she was being very secretive, but she didn't expect that others had already known about it.

But he didn't say it at the time, and now that he talks about it, it makes him feel a little embarrassed.
