Chapter 17: Good People and Bad People

Ye Pingshun drove the donkey cart and took the two of them directly to the school gate.

When getting off the bus, he reminded his daughter, "If you don't understand something, ask Shulan for help. She is the study committee member and acts as a half-teacher."

Ye Pingshun noticed that his daughter's attitude was wrong and was giving her some advice.

Ye Ran felt aggrieved, and didn't dare to say anything more. She lazily replied, "I know."

Meng Shulan, who was labeled as a half-teacher, smiled and said to Ye Pingshun, "Uncle Ye, please don't flatter me. How can I be a half-teacher when I didn't even get into college? I can only be a half-teacher if I can be a study committee member. The teacher sees that I love to study hard and gives me comfort. In fact, I am a half-baked person. I have to study hard to understand the content of the class. How can I teach others?"

Meng Shulan went in carrying her things.

Ye Pingshun was a little stunned holding the bamboo stick in his hand.

Meng Shulan, when did you become so talkative? Inside the school, Ye Ran, who entered the school before Meng Shulan, did not go far, but waited for her downstairs in the dormitory building behind.

When Meng Shulan approached, Ye Ran said, "Don't ride in my car in the future."

Meng Shulan: "Then tell your dad not to call me anymore."

When Ye Ran heard this, she clenched her teeth.

"Meng Shulan, could you not be so shameless?"

Meng Shulan smiled faintly, blinked her big eyes, glanced at Ye Ran, and said with a hint of mockery, "Thick? I don't think so at all. Ye Ran, I still haven't figured out what you are angry about. Did I expose your lies in public? Or did the box of dumplings spilled on the ground embarrass you so much that you got angry out of shame?"

Indeed, Meng Shulan had just been reborn that day, and her attention was all on Han Ning, that scumbag, and she didn't care about Ye Ran, the mistress.

Moreover, at this moment, apart from Ye Ran's behavior of paying for him, there was no special relationship between the scumbag man and the scumbag woman. She had no reason to vent her anger.

Meng Shulan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ye Ran, so she went upstairs after she finished speaking. Because she was in a bad mood, she deliberately bumped into Ye Ran's shoulder when she left.

Ye Ran never could have imagined that Meng Shulan, who usually held a book all the time like a nerd, actually had a temper. She was completely unprepared and would have fallen down if she hadn't held on to the wall next to her.

"Meng Shulan!"

Ye Ran's face turned red with anger, and she clenched her fists and wanted to chase after her, but when Meng Shulan turned around and looked at her indifferently, she didn't dare to do it.

What happened the day before yesterday was quite a big deal.

Not only Han Ning was called to the office, she went too.

In this situation, let alone hitting Meng Shulan, even if she said something inappropriate, she would probably be called out by the teacher.

But Ye Ran was really very angry.

The day before yesterday, in front of the whole class, she actually said that she was a slut...

Meng Shulan knew that Ye Ran didn't dare.

You are not children anymore, how can you act impulsively?

So, she just glanced at him calmly and turned back to the dormitory.

The student dormitory was converted from an old teaching building. It has two floors. The first floor is a large dormitory where dozens of people sleep on large bunk beds.

Those who live on the first floor are all from junior high school.

The two high school grades are upstairs, where conditions are much better than downstairs. There are eight people in a room, and every two people can share an old desk, which is considered special care for those who are preparing to take the college entrance examination.

When Meng Shulan returned, everyone in the dormitory was there, except for a freshman named Hu Bifang from Class 1, Grade 2, who was making her bed. Everyone else was away, having packed up their books and gone to the classroom to study.

Seeing Meng Shulan coming back, Hu Bifang covered the patched buckwheat pillow with a quilt, turned around and smiled at her, then said, "I heard about what happened the day before yesterday. Are you okay?"

Her voice was a little soft, and Meng Shulan had to half listen and half guess before she understood what she meant.

"It's okay." Meng Shulan smiled and said, "Han Ning is the one in trouble, not me. I'll explain these things clearly, as long as everyone doesn't misunderstand me in the future."

Hu Bifang nodded and stopped talking.

You can see that she is a rather introverted person.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Meng Shulan didn't continue the topic. She quickly packed her things. By the time Hu Bifang was ready to go to the classroom, she had almost made the bed.

"Hu Bifang, wait a moment, let's go together."

Meng Shulan got off the wooden bed with a smile.

Hu Bifang was a little surprised that she would call her and stared at Meng Shulan in a daze.

Meng Shulan: "Why, do you have anything else to do?"

Hu Bifang shook her head, "No."

"Okay then, let's go."

The two locked the door and went downstairs quickly with the thermos.

It takes four or five minutes to walk from the girls’ dormitory to the teaching school.

Along the way, Hu Bifang secretly glanced at Meng Shulan several times, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Meng Shulan asked her, "Is there something on my face?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hu Bifang quickly shook her head, "No, no."

How could there be something with such a pretty face?

Meng Shulan: "Then why do you keep staring at me?"

After being caught, Hu Bifang's face turned red, but because of her dark skin, it was hard to see.

Hu Bifang: "I just feel like you're a little different than before."

The sound is still as small as ever.

Meng Shulan: "Maybe. I used to only focus on books and didn't care about anything else. But after what happened with Han Ning, I don't think so anymore. People should understand some human relationships. Otherwise, they can't even tell the difference between good people and bad people. It's useless to read more books, don't you think?"

In her previous life, when the news that she had cancer spread, Hu Bifang was the only one among the seven people in the dormitory who came to visit her in the hospital.

At that time, she was working in a restaurant in the city, earning a low salary and having two children to raise, but she bought some pretty good nutritional supplements and brought them over for herself.

Meng Shulan was a little surprised. They hadn't been in contact for many years, but she didn't expect that this person still remembered her.

Hu Bifang smiled and said, "Of course I don't remember. There were eight people in the dormitory at that time, and you were the only one who didn't mind my poverty and didn't look at me strangely. It's a pity that I was introverted and self-abased at that time, and I was too embarrassed to talk to you."

Hu Bifang, who was in her thirties, was much more cheerful. Unlike now, she had to lower her head every time she spoke.

Meng Shulan smiled again. The dim street lights made her face blurry, but even more beautiful.

Hu Bifang nodded as if she understood, then glanced at the kettle in her hand and said, "Give it to me. I'll walk faster after class so I can get in front of the line."

Hu Bifang's classroom is on the side of the first floor, closest to the hot water room.

And Meng Shulan is on the second floor.

"sure."

Meng Shulan gave it to her readily.

Hu Bifang also smiled, with a hint of shyness in her excitement.

When Meng Shulan stepped into the classroom, the bell for self-study class rang.

She subconsciously glanced at the middle of the classroom.

Very good, Han Ning’s seat is empty, out of sight, out of mind.

However, before she could sit down, someone rushed in from the door. It was Han Ning.
