Chapter 121 Mutual Willingness

After school on Saturday afternoon, Meng Shulan prepared to return to the village with her schoolbag on her back.

When she arrived outside the school gate, she looked around and didn't see Gu Hansong. She was a little disappointed, but then she saw Shen Chengyuan standing at the intersection in front of her holding a horsewhip and waving at her.

"Sister, here, here."

Meng Shulan smiled, said something to Hu Bifang, and hurried over.

She originally thought that Gu Hansong was there too, but when she got there, she saw only Shen Chengyuan driving Gu Hansong's mule cart.

"Sister Shulan, Brother Han has gone to the city. I will take you back today. Also, when Brother Han left, he said that he would definitely come back tomorrow morning, so you can rest assured."

Shen Chengyuan kept laughing while he spoke, and his meaning was obvious.

Meng Shulan felt a little embarrassed by his laughter, and hurriedly urged him, "Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and get in the car. Oh, let's stop at the cinema. I want to go see my sister."

"Okay."

The car arrived at the cinema and Meng Shulan got out. She originally wanted to invite Shen Chengyuan in for some tea, but he said he wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something and asked Meng Shulan to meet him there later.

There was a market in town today and the store was doing business in the morning.

Meng Shulan saw a big-character poster on the door of the store calling for a collection of sewing machines. She read it carefully before going in.

"sister."

As soon as Meng Shulan entered, she heard the sound of a sewing machine.

Meng Changli was sitting in the workshop on the left, teaching. There were four or five women around her, all of whom came from the village.

When they saw Meng Shulan, everyone greeted her.

Meng Changli gave the cloth in her hand to the people around her to try, then took her sister to the main room, poured her some hot tea, and the two sisters sat inside and talked.

"Sister, where are Hui Na and Si Jia?"

"He was there just now. He must have gone to the cinema with Yao Chonghui."

There is a family compound behind the cinema, which is bigger than theirs.

The two sisters chatted about their business in the past few days.

At present, five people have been invited. With the introduction of Director Tang, Meng Changli borrowed 1,000 yuan from the bank. She received a second-hand sewing machine these days and has started using it.

Meng Changli went to school and told her sister about these things two days ago, but when they met today, she couldn't help but mention it.

When talking about going to the bank to apply for a loan, Meng Changli laughed again.

"By the way, do you know who came this morning?"

Meng Shulan put down the teacup and looked at her sister.

Meng Changli covered her mouth and laughed, "Two old guys from the Huang family came. They said they were here to see the two children, but they didn't buy anything and came empty-handed. After a few arguments, I realized that they saw that I had come to town to open a store, and they wanted to settle some marital property division with me. They also wanted to make a fortune from me, but when they heard that I had borrowed a thousand yuan from the bank, they were so scared that they ran away immediately."

Meng Changli was a little scared at first because she had borrowed so much money and had to pay interest every month, but she was happy this time.

Meng Shulan: "Sister, have you made any progress in your divorce case? When will it be opened?"

Meng Changli: "I've asked the Women's Federation. Maybe next week. We'll have to go to the county then."

Meng Shulan nodded. "By the way, didn't Gu Hansong bring you a book when he went to South City this time? I want to invite him to have dinner tomorrow. What do you think?"

Although she has this plan, Meng Shulan has not told her family yet.

"Sure!" Meng Changli agreed immediately. "Did he agree?"

This time, Gu Hansong brought her about ten books, including magazines and teaching books. Meng Changli has been staying up late to read them recently. They are so precious.

He traveled thousands of miles away, but I didn’t expect that he still cared about them. Gu Hansong is really a good person, so nice.

I was just too polite. I invited him to dinner several times but he didn't come.

Meng Shulan: "I mentioned it last time we met, and it should be no problem this time. I have already agreed."

Meng Changli: "Okay, the store is closed tomorrow. I'll go buy some groceries in the morning and prepare a nice meal. You just need to bring the people over. Talk to my parents and have everyone come here for lunch tomorrow."

Now that the store has hired people, they can't work day and night like before. Employees need rest, and this has been written into the contract in advance.

The current situation is that we have one day off every week. If it is a busy time like market day or the end of the year, we will adjust the day off.

After discussing the dinner party tomorrow, Meng Shulan left with her things.

She arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and Shen Chengyuan was already waiting there.

It takes half an hour to drive from the town to Yantang Village.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two chatted for a while on the way, saying that some time ago, the Shen Chengyuan brother followed Gu Hansong to South City.

The last two times she met Gu Hansong, time was too tight and neither of them mentioned these things. After hearing what Shen Chengyuan said, Meng Shulan realized that this time Gu Hansong not only went to South City, but also went to Gangcheng.

Shen Chengyuan also whispered to Meng Shulan: "Sister Shulan, don't tell anyone about Brother Han's trip to Gangcheng, not even your sister. Brother Han also gave me a gag order, and it was because of you that I told him.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Brother Han came back looking glamorous this time, having brought many things, including a machine for the noodle factory, but when you hear him mention going to the port city, it still sounds pretty dangerous.”

This time, Gu Hansong went with a local and did not bring the Shen Chengyuan brothers.

Shen Chengyuan said all these things, firstly to praise Gu Hansong for his ability and being awesome, and secondly to make Meng Shulan feel sorry for him and wish the two of them could get together sooner.

In Shen Chengyuan's eyes, the two people were interested in each other, but they were not sure what was missing and had not taken the final step.

It turns out that he had been going not only to South City for so long, but also to Gangcheng!

If you want to go to Hong Kong in this era, you should find your own channels. After all, it is too difficult to go there through official means, and ordinary people can't go there at all.

Meng Shulan smiled, then her face changed, and she hit Shen Chengyuan's head hard with the book, "Since Gu Hansong didn't let you say it, why did you tell me? How can you be his brother when you are so talkative? When Hansong comes back tomorrow, I will report you!"

Meng Shulan is serious.

If this kind of thing were heard by someone with a keen eye, it would be a disaster.

When Shen Chengyuan heard this, his face changed. He was so scared that he dropped the whip in his hand and almost knelt down to Meng Shulan.

"Sister, sister, please don't do that. If you tell me, I'm done for. Brother Han will kick me out.

Sister, I am saying this because I saw that you and Brother Han are in love with each other. From now on, you will be my sister-in-law!"

This is what Shen Chengyuan meant.

Meng Shulan will not forgive easily. Shen Chengyuan is a simple-minded man with a big mouth. If he is not taught a lesson, he will ruin Gu Hansong's things in the future.

The two men were in a stalemate, one begging for mercy and the other with a cold face, when they saw Jiang Xiuzhen coming over carrying a small bamboo basket.

"What are you two doing here?"
