When she learned that she had cancer that year, Meng Shulan filed for divorce from Han Ning.
Han Ning knelt in front of her hospital bed with tears streaming down his face, saying he wouldn...
Chapter 270: Finalization
The Ye family's farce has temporarily come to an end.
In just over a year, he went from opening a clothing store to a drugstore and then to South City. The ups and downs he experienced were really heartbreaking.
When Meng Shulan learned that several members of the Ye family had been sentenced, she had already returned to South City. During the Lantern Festival, she called the factory and Meng Changli told her.
During this winter vacation, after the fifth day of the New Year, He Jinqiu urged Gu Hansong to buy tickets so that they could return to Nancheng early to spend time with their families there.
Gu Hansong and Meng Shulan flew back to Nancheng on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Meng Changli had said before that she would go to Nancheng to study, but time was not so fast and it would not be until after the fifteenth day, so she was still in the town.
Meng Shulan was a little surprised to hear that several members of the Ye family had been sentenced and the houses in the village were deserted.
In the previous life, although the Ye family was not rich, they were still doing well. They ran a shop and were better off than the average villager. In this life, three of them were sent to jail, and the rest left home to avoid debt, and their wives and children were separated. It was a big change.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shulan sighed deeply.
Beside her, Gu Hansong came over and hugged her waist, and asked softly in her ear: "Why are you sighing?"
Meng Shulan told Gu Hansong about the Ye family's affairs.
Gu Hansong looked uninterested and just said "hmm".
Meng Shulan: "I heard that he has been denying it all along. In court he kept saying that he was deceived."
Gu Hansong: "Resistance will be treated severely and the crime will be aggravated."
Yes, so Han Ning was sentenced to fifteen years.
Meng Shulan looked at Gu Hansong.
Did he do this? If he manipulated the business, considering his status and achievements in his previous life, it should be easy for him to trick Han Ning.
But did he handle those things well?
Meng Shulan wanted to ask something, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.
Forget it, I won’t ask anymore. From the very beginning, he denied those things in his previous life and just thought it was an unhappy dream.
Since he doesn't want to mention it, why should she bother about it? Just forget about it.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Aunt Ruan went home to celebrate the festival. Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong prepared a reunion dinner together, and then the two of them accompanied Gu Yue to set off fireworks in the yard.
It was late at night, and when the people in the east room fell asleep, there was a gentle knock on Meng Shulan's door.
She opened the door and Gu Hansong flashed in. The two hugged each other tightly and spent the holiday together.
The next day, Meng Shulan had to report back to school. Gu Hansong drove her back to school first, and then they went to the airport to pick up Meng Changli in the afternoon.
After meeting and having dinner together, Gu Hansong sent the two sisters to a house he rented.
The house is inside a large compound with a gate and a wall, so it is very safe.
Meng Changli lived here during the two months she studied in Nancheng.
The days passed slowly.
Gu Hansong is very busy and often travels on business, so he is not in Nancheng most of the time.
Meng Shulan usually attends classes at school and spends time with her sister on weekends.
Meng Changli got this opportunity to study and worked very hard, often painting until late at night.
Two months was neither long nor short, but Meng Changli felt that she had learned a lot. Before leaving, she took the time to visit several coastal cities, walked through the cloth markets and big shopping malls, and had many different ideas and insights.
When seeing her off at the airport, Meng Changli told her sister: "This time when I go back, I plan to open another embroidery factory to see if I can find an export route."
Meng Shulan: "Sure. Sister, when the product comes out, I will find a market for it."
As the country opens its doors in the next few years, these things will only become more and more important.
Meng Shulan studied foreign languages and continued in this direction after graduation.
Gu Hansong also said: "This is a good idea."
Since both her sister and brother-in-law agreed, Meng Changli no longer had any worries.
Okay, she will prepare it when she goes back this time.
After seeing Meng Changli off, Gu Hansong drove and the two went to the house they had rented previously.
There are still some things to be packed inside. Meng Shulan comes here to stay on weekends. My sister's room is empty, but there are still a lot of things in her room.
Meng Shulan meant that whatever was useful should be taken away, and whatever was not useful should be sold.
But before she started to pack, Gu Hansong closed the curtains and the door.
Meng Shulan: “…”
When both of them were tired, Gu Hansong hugged her and said softly, "Let's continue to rent this room."
It’s always a bit inconvenient when there are so many people at home, so it’s better to be alone in your own world.
Meng Shulan: "You are often on business trips, so how can you have time to come and stay here?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Hansong: "I will go out less and come to accompany you more often in the future."
The house was not returned after all. In fact, Gu Hansong had signed a one-year contract when he rented it and paid the money in one lump sum.
In the following days, Gu Hansong did as he said and spent less and less time on business trips.
In a blink of an eye, summer vacation is here.
Because Meng Shulan was attending an event to entertain foreign guests, she stayed for another week after the holiday before buying a ticket to go back.
This time Gu Hansong did not follow as he was busy with work, so Meng Shulan went back alone.
After getting off the plane, Meng Changli came to pick them up. The two sisters had a meal in the city and then went to visit the newly opened store.
After so long in preparation, the store is finally open.
A total of more than a dozen stores were opened in the first batch of surrounding counties and cities.
The two sisters also discussed before the opening of the store. Meng Shulan gave her sister suggestions on everything from brand to decoration.
Now that the store is open, both the quality of the goods and the overall level are the best in the city.
Meng Changli also set aside a small area in the store to display embroidery. If someone wants it, she will sell it to them. If no one asks, she will let everyone admire it.
In just three months, Meng Changli had opened her embroidery factory. There were not many people, only about thirty embroiderers, but half of them were experienced and skilled.
In the past two years, affected by external factors, many old embroidery workshops or factories have transformed and started doing other things, and the retired embroiderers were recruited by Meng Changli.
With experienced hands, she recruited a dozen apprentices, with He Jinqiu as the master chef. As long as they were interested, they could come and learn for free. If they had talent in this area, they would be trained and work in the factory.
At first, Meng Shulan thought that she would find ways to sell the things her sister made, but after the factory opened, Song Huailing came to the door, looked at the embroidered things in the factory, and applied for the qualification of the exhibition for Meng Changli, allowing her to take the things to Beijing for a tour.
With this opportunity, Meng Changli received orders herself and had a fixed monthly output of goods. Although the quantity was not large, it could slowly increase the brand's popularity and open up sales.
In the afternoon, the two sisters returned to town, and He Jinqiu and Meng Fude came out to greet them.
The family met together in a lively atmosphere and went to the courtyard to have dinner.
This summer vacation, Meng Shulan stayed at home for a month and then returned to school early.
Because of her excellent academic performance, the school arranged some translation work for her, allowing her to integrate books with social practice and continuously improve herself.
Gu Hansong missed her too and would call the factory every week, hoping that she could return home soon.
My dear children, happy National Day! This article is coming to an end, and the author will take a break these days and update it alone.
