Chapter 174 Give Her a Hand

The preliminary exam is approaching and she is not in school, so why is she here?

Meng Shulan walked over and asked, "Danhong, why are you here? Is school on holiday?"

Today is Wednesday, so it shouldn't be possible.

Meng Shulan felt a little strange, but after thinking about it, she roughly understood what was going on.

According to the trajectory of her previous life, Meng Danhong at this time had become tired of studying and was preparing to skip classes.

So, she has already escaped, but she didn't hang out with others like she did in her previous life, doing business to make money, but instead came to find me?

Meng Shulan was not quite sure, after all, a lot of things had changed in this life.

Meng Danhong's complexion was not very good, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked very haggard.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Meng Shulan, "Second sister, I want to borrow some money from you."

Borrow money?

Meng Shulan: "What's wrong?"

Meng Danhong tidied the hair beside her ears uncomfortably, "It's nothing, I just feel that there is no hope of passing the preliminary exam, so I want to come out early.

I've been under a lot of pressure at school lately. The teachers are very strict, and I have to pay for books and exams one after another. My grades are bad, and I'm too embarrassed to ask my family for money. So I thought, forget it, I won't go to school anymore, and start a business with someone to pay back the money I spent in the past two years, so that my mother won't reject me."

Meng Danhong is telling the truth.

Meng Shulan was a little surprised.

In her previous life, everyone said that she was disobedient, that she didn't study hard, that she skipped classes with the money given by her family to start a business, that she was not doing her job properly, and that she had let her family down.

But if you think about it from another perspective, the pressure from her family was too great, which led her to take such a desperate path.

But Second Aunt and the others didn’t understand. After they found out, they went straight to her and beat and made a fuss to force her to go back to school, which led to her running away from home with her male classmates.

During those years, Meng Danhong's running away from home became a negative example for educating girls in the village.

In this life, Meng Shulan and her were closer, and they understood each other a little better.

Meng Shulan felt that, in fact, she was not that bad, she was just a strong-willed girl.

In her previous life, she became a single mother, leaving behind a scar that will last a lifetime, mainly because she met the wrong person and her family put too much pressure on her.

If her family had been a little more tolerant, her fate might have been rewritten.

Meng Shulan: "Do your uncle and aunt know about this?"

Meng Danhong got a little excited when she heard it. "Do you think I dare to tell her? My mother will beat me to death if she finds out! I didn't go home this time. I came back quietly.

Second sister, if you can help me, lend it to me. If you can’t, don’t tell my family and just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

After Meng Danhong finished speaking, she wiped her tears with her sleeves, then turned and left.

Meng Shulan went forward and held her back, "You haven't eaten yet? I'll take you to eat first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Meng Danhong was shocked and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay."

Meng Shulan took her to the newly opened private noodle shop in town.

Meng Shulan had been to this noodle shop once. The shredded pork noodles there were better than those in state-owned restaurants, with more ingredients and more meat.

"Is two taels enough?"

Meng Danhong uttered "ah" and hesitated.

Meng Shulan smiled and said, "Then, order three taels."

"Boss, three taels of shredded pork noodles, plus a fried egg."

"Okay. Girl, you don't want to order?"

"I have eaten."

Meng Shulan paid the money and sat back at the table.

Meng Danhong said, "Thank you, Second Sister. I will pay you back when I make money later."

Meng Shulan: "You already call me Second Sister, why are you still arguing with me about the price of this bowl of noodles?"

Meng Danhong smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Meng Shulan asked her, "What kind of business do you want to start?"

Meng Danhong became excited when this matter was mentioned. She told Meng Shulan about her business plan in detail. In the county town, she planned to partner with others to sell used books.

"Those books were discarded by bookstores in the past, and some were sent by scrap yards. People who don't know about it just sell them blindly. People like me who can understand the value of books and know how to set the price can sell them at a good price and definitely make money."

Selling old books...

Meng Shulan thought about it and thought that it was a possible solution.

If I can have a relationship with a publishing house and continue to develop in the future, I can open a bookstore. Given the college entrance examination trend in recent years, making money will not be a problem.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But does she have these conditions?

Meng Shulan: "Who is your partner? How did he come up with his ideas?"

Meng Danhong felt a little embarrassed when this was mentioned.

"He, he is my classmate. His uncle works at a scrap recycling station and can help him find books."

classmate?

Meng Shulan was shocked. It seemed that this was the male classmate who took Meng Danhong away from home.

So they started dating at this time? Meng Shulan asked directly: "He followed his path, but he took you with him. Are you two dating now?"

Meng Danhong quickly shook her head. "No, that's not the case. I don't have the heart to think about these things right now. It's just that..."

Meng Danhong hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, "He likes me, but I didn't agree."

That male classmate was not Meng Danhong's ideal type.

Meng Shulan: "But you are doing business with him like this. You say you don't agree, but you are actually together, right?"

Meng Danhong was a little stunned.

Meng Shulan: "You don't think he is selfless and doesn't ask for anything in return, do you? There are people like this, but they are rare. Think about it, what is his ultimate goal in doing business with you? If he doesn't have an idea, why would he help you?"

Meng Danhong whispered, "He really hasn't given up. He keeps saying he'll wait until I agree. I know this is not a good idea, it's easy for someone to take advantage of him. But, I, I can't think of any other solution for now."

Meng Danhong's eyes welled up when she mentioned this.

She already had great study pressure in various subjects, and now had to deal with the added stress of English. She was already overwhelmed. As soon as she returned to school, she became dazed and couldn't concentrate on studying at all.

Meng Shulan thought for a moment and said, "Danhong, don't go sell old books anymore. Come back and work with Big Sister."

At this time, the noodles have arrived.

Smelling the aroma of chopped green onions and shredded pork, Meng Danhong looked at Meng Shulan in a daze.

"Second sister, are you serious?"

The two families no longer have any contact with each other because of the separation that year, and they don’t even visit each other during the Chinese New Year.

Although her relationship with Meng Shulan has been repaired a lot, but, doesn't she still have her aunt and elder sister? Can everyone really accept her like this?

Meng Shulan nodded, "It's obvious that the boy wants to take advantage of you. It would be fine if I didn't know, but now that I know, there's no reason for me to watch you jump into the fire pit.

It just so happens that my family is renovating a factory recently, and the production line has been expanded. We have recruited a new group of workers. Whether it is the assembly line or the factory construction, we need someone to keep an eye on it. If you can come here, it can be regarded as helping us."
