Chapter 107: No Tears Until You See the Coffin
Isn't it just that Liao Chuandong wants to use this matter to make himself bow his head?
But Meng Shulan just refused to listen.
Meng Changli also said: "Shulan is right. As long as the policy is implemented, what we do will not be a big deal. You know the stall selling steamed buns in the town? His family also has a son in junior high school in the town. He is doing a good job. Why don't they give us the job? It seems that someone wants to target us."
Meng Shulan nodded, and seeing that her mother's brows were still furrowed, she advised, "Don't worry, Mom. I dare not say anything else, but using this matter to threaten them, they are going in the wrong direction from the beginning."
Since both daughters said so, He Jinqiu could not help but worry and could only support them.
When Meng Changli saw this, she quickly asked everyone to bring the cloth back and stack it up.
At first, her family said they would return the cloth, which made her very anxious.
Why should she return it? This time when she went to the city, she not only took the cloth, but also paid off a debt of 100 yuan. Now her mind is full of business. She is thinking about how to make these clothes and pants all the time. She has become addicted to it.
The next day was market day.
Early in the morning, the mother, daughter and two daughters of the Meng family had their meal, put their things on the rented donkey cart, and prepared to go to the town.
The donkey cart belonged to someone else in the village, and Meng Changli rented it for money.
I agreed with them that it would be one dollar per time for renting it for half a day to go to town.
I have rented cars from this company recently and we have reached a cooperative relationship.
Normally, if there is something happening in the village and a car is needed, people would borrow it from each other. At most, they would feed the donkey a little and give it a basket of grass.
Now that the Meng family is willing to pay, that's definitely good. Ten times a month would be ten yuan, which is a considerable income for a rural family.
By the time we packed up and prepared to leave, it was already bright.
When the neighbor who lived across the street saw them going out to do business again, he said to He Jinqiu, "He girl, didn't they say that the school doesn't allow you to work anymore? Why are you still going there?"
Yesterday, Ye Pingshun’s visit caused a huge commotion, attracting half of the village to come and watch the fun, and the whole village knew about it.
In order to scare the old couple of the Meng family, Ye Pingshun made the matter sound very serious. Not only the two old people of the Meng family, but also other people broke out in cold sweats after hearing it.
He Jinqiu said: "It's already done. If we don't sell it, it will be a waste."
He Jinqiu did not answer the question directly. She thought about not making these things too final and just postponed them until the day when the policy came down.
When the lady next door heard this, she didn't know what to say.
It's a loss to have the goods in hand, but isn't going to college more important than that little money? These people in the Meng family really won't cry until they see the coffin, they are all obsessed with money.
Forget it, it’s their own business, let them do whatever they want.
The old lady rolled her eyes and went to work.
While the Meng family was talking to their aunt, Ding Guixiang, from the second branch of the Meng family behind the bamboo forest across the street, had already instructed her youngest son to go to the upper village to inform Ye Pingshun.
Ever since the eldest branch of the Meng family started their business, their business has been booming and their stalls are always sold out. Ding Guixiang has been jealous to the point of red eyes.
Her family didn't make any money from the business, so why should the eldest family take the lead? Fortunately, the school knew about it and stopped giving them the business! Hahahaha...
Yesterday, when Ye Pingshun went to deliver the letter of guarantee, Ding Guixiang was also there, and she kept urging He Jinqiu to sign it quickly so as not to delay Meng Shulan's studies.
She called them sister-in-law and brother all the time with such deep affection, as if she was sincerely doing good for their family.
But what is the reality?
Ding Guixiang hopes that their family business will fail so that everyone can just work as peasants. I haven't found a way, so you shouldn't try it either.
Ding Guixiang has thought about it seriously.
There have been a lot of things going on with the first wife recently. Meng Changli has had that incident again, and she is about to divorce the Huang family. As long as their business fails, overall, their family will still be well off and live a comfortable life.
Ding Guixiang has been competing with that group for twenty or thirty years. Because of Meng Chenggong, she has been suppressed in recent years. Now she is on the verge of turning things around.
Of course, she is just a person with evil intentions. She takes pleasure in other people's misfortunes and says a lot of bad things, but she has not really done anything bad. The worst that can happen is that she lets her son tip off others, just like she did just now.
Ding Guixiang was still hiding in the bamboo forest watching what was going on over there, when suddenly a voice whispered in her ear, "Mom, you really can't stand my aunt's family, why don't you encourage them to continue doing business? Isn't it more to your liking that Sister Shulan's college entrance examination is being held back by someone else?"
It was already dark in the bamboo forest, and a man suddenly appeared nearby. Ding Guixiang was startled and almost jumped up.
"What are you doing, you silly girl? Why are you walking so quietly?"
When she saw it was her daughter, Ding Guixiang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Danhong smiled, "Mom, you are guilty and can't see me."
She followed her mother out when she called her second brother just now, but she was so focused on doing bad things that she didn't pay attention.
"What do you mean by guilty conscience? I spent so much money to support your education, will you be able to speak?"
Meng Danhong really wanted to say that you were the one who insisted on spending that money just to save face with others, so what did it have to do with her?
But she also knew that there would be a quarrel if these things were mentioned, so she held back and kept silent.
Seeing that her daughter didn't talk back to her, Ding Guixiang gave her a few more advice.
"It's not that easy to get into college. Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. Since we have this opportunity, why not just watch the excitement first?"
So that's what she thought! How short-sighted.
Meng Danhong turned around and left.
She was not interested in watching the fun, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the Meng family should focus on getting into college first.
Among the three high school girls in their village, only Meng Shulan has the ability to go to college.
Shangcun, Ye family.
I agreed with the Meng family yesterday that I would get the result on the same day, but after waiting for half the night, no one from the Meng family showed up.
Ye Pingshun originally wanted to go over and ask, but then he thought that this was too hasty and would easily cause misunderstandings, making it seem as if he was forcing the Meng family, so he endured it all night.
This morning, after finishing his breakfast, Ye Pingshun couldn't help himself and wanted to go over to ask about the situation with his hands behind his back. On the way, he happened to meet Meng Youquan who came to inform him.
Hearing that the Meng family was going to the town to do business, Ye Pingshun narrowed his eyes and quickened his pace.
By the time the two of them, one in the light and one in the dark, reached the dam, the Meng family's car had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
"He Jinqiu, Meng Shulan! You, you guys, really ignored what was said above?"
When Ye Pingshun saw this, he was extremely angry.
Meng Changli looked back without stopping the car and said, "Uncle Ye, this product is already made, we have to sell it. It's okay, we will take care of it at school, don't worry about it, watch your step, don't fall."
After Meng Changli finished speaking, she waved the whip. It was time to set up the stall, and she didn't want to waste time here.
