Chapter 129 The Poor Boy from the Gu Family
Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong had never had any interaction with each other before.
Recently, the two of them have been going to the town and returning to the village together from time to time. Last time it snowed, they were trapped outside for a few days. Although Meng Changli was there, in the eyes of some people, this was not unusual.
However, because there was a big gap between the two and Meng Shulan was studying and would take the college entrance exam next year, no one thought much about it.
Only Ye Ran often brings up the affairs between them.
At the beginning, Ye Ran just spread rumors and nonsense to ruin Meng Shulan's reputation.
But gradually, she found that it seemed to be true.
That time, at the grain station, Meng Shulan and Jiang Xiuzhen were talking inside, and Ye Ran and Ye Pingshun were just about to go in to park the car, and they ran into them.
Although the father and daughter didn't hear anything due to the distance, it was still strange for the two of them to talk together.
Jiang Xiuzhen fell in love with Gu Hansong and wanted to marry into the Gu family. She waited at the entrance of their village several times, and many people knew about it.
Before this, everyone thought that Gu Hansong would finally be able to get married and have a mistress at home, but who knew that she would become so arrogant and look down on the girl.
This matter has been circulating in the village recently.
Given the situation in the Gu family, it's rare to find someone who doesn't despise others. I don't know what's wrong with Gu Hansong's brain. He doesn't even want anything that comes to his doorstep.
Many people said that Gu Hansong was ungrateful and didn't even look down on a normal girl. He deserved to be a bachelor in the future.
In the minds of the villagers, for someone like Gu Hansong, finding a normal woman is already very good.
After all, his family's conditions are there. If she marries him, she will have to take care of the old, the young and the paralyzed. How could anyone be interested in such a family unless she has a mental problem or a physical defect and cannot get married?
It is because of this that people say he is arrogant and ungrateful.
In fact, if everyone carefully understood Gu Hansong's situation, they would have a different opinion of him, or at least would not say that he was arrogant.
Because Gu Hansong has the capital to be arrogant.
During those years, he worked alone to feed four mouths. He didn't earn many work points, but all the people in his family survived.
During those years, although the Gu family owed money and food to the village every year, they lived better than most families in private.
If you are careful enough, you will find that although the family members are not dressed in anything special, they all look good. The little baby Gu Yue is white and plump, and has a very picky mouth and likes to eat candies and snacks.
This is not a child raised in a poor family at all.
No one knows what Gu Hansong did outside during those years, but in any case he was not short of money.
But many things were not allowed, so he had no choice but to put on a cloak of poverty and borrow grain and money from the production team every year, and then slowly pay it back after the fields were turned into households.
He was so good at hiding and pretending, so naturally everyone believed it.
Gu Hansong was also accustomed to this low-key way of doing things, and had always been handling things around him in a low-key manner.
Just like his mule cart, I heard that it was sold to him at a low price by someone else and was about to die of disease. Who knew that he was so lucky? After buying it and taking care of it for half a month, the mule miraculously recovered on its own.
For example, he is always away from home, looking for work outside to make some money, but what is he doing?
No one knew, but he was often seen in town, seemingly strolling around, but doing nothing.
We know too little about Gu Hansong.
I don’t know what he is doing outside. He doesn’t farm the land and he rents it out to others.
The only thing that surprised everyone was that he actually got back a bicycle not long ago.
Whose bicycle is this?
Did he buy it?
Where did the money and tickets come from? Everyone was puzzled and asked, but Gu Hansong ignored them.
Those who were itching to do so went to ask Old Mrs. Wu.
Old Mrs. Wu looked confused, "What bicycle? Where did my Han Song get the bicycle from? Isn't that Meng's?"
Huh? The Meng family? Everyone was confused.
Later, they saw that the bicycle really went to the Meng family. Meng Changli rode it first, and then Meng Shulan rode it.
So, that car really belongs to the Meng family! Thinking about it this way, it is really possible.
The Meng family made money from their business and bought a bicycle, but they didn't want to show off too much, so they made up a lie and said they borrowed it from Gu Hansong.
When Meng Changli said this, no one believed it.
Everyone can see that the Meng family has made money from business, but what did Gu Hansong do? Did he have money to buy a bicycle? Where did his tickets come from? No one can figure it out.
Besides, can you lend out something as valuable as a bicycle casually?
Definitely not.
So this car does not belong to Gu Hansong, but to the Meng family.
The villagers who originally had doubts about Gu Hansong immediately withdrew those thoughts.
Gu Hansong has not changed. He is still that poor boy who has no skills, is unwilling to farm, is dull and taciturn.
Although he wanted to change his fate, he didn't know where to start because he had no brains.
Just like he went out not long ago, and heard that he followed someone to a coastal city for more than ten or twenty days, but he didn't bring anything back, not even a piece of candy for everyone. How could he make money? I'm afraid he didn't even pay for the bus fare! In the two days when Gu Hansong came back, some people saw him wearing a suit and coat, looking very glamorous, and they also chased him and asked about it.
What did you do? Did you make a lot of money? Do you have any connections? Please guide us. We are all from the same village.
But he just said nothing and treated the other person as if he were air.
Some people got angry, saying that not only did he not make any money this time, but he also learned how to dress like the people in the city and started to act pretentiously.
This time when Gu Hansong came back from a trip, he rarely hid his true colors and showed them directly. However, with his personality, he never spoke to outsiders and no one believed him. Instead, he got a reputation as a bad student.
Everyone felt more and more that he was not good enough and that nothing would change in his life.
It was under such circumstances that Ye Ran actually said that there was something going on between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong, and Ye Feng really didn't believe it.
Meng Shulan, after all, is a high school student, she shouldn’t be that stupid, how could she fall for Gu Hansong, a poor boy with no skills but only a good appearance? ? ? Outside the school’s iron gate.
Ye Feng asked his sister if there was really something going on between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong.
Ye Ran got angry when she heard what her second brother said, "Brother, do you not believe me or what? If you don't believe me, go ask yourself! Do you think Meng Shulan is so great and noble? Can't she and Gu Hansong be together? I think they are a good match!"
One is poor, the other is lowly, isn't that a match made in heaven?"
Last time, Ye Ran reported the Meng family’s business to the school but failed. In the end, their family became a big joke in the village. Ye Ran was also scolded by Han Ning, and the two have not reconciled until now.
Ye Ran just hated it, she hated it so much.
