Chapter 158: Will Not Back Down
The farce of He Jinqiu and He Saijun returning to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year ended when the eldest brother of the He family stepped in and asked his two sons to send He Saijun to another relative's home.
However, the matter between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong was eventually revealed.
Although He Jinqiu denied it on the spot, she was not a fool. She knew what was going on after thinking about it carefully.
After having lunch at her mother's house, He Jinqiu returned home, put down her things, grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and went out. It was not known whether she was going to visit a neighbor or to look for someone.
Meng Shulan was a little confused. Wasn’t her mother going to ask her about her and Gu Hansong?
Meng Shulan had already prepared to confess, but she didn't mention it on the way home because she was in a car with other people in it and it was not convenient to say those things.
Now that I'm back home, there are only my family members around, and I can ask them anything.
Moreover, she had already thought it through. She would tell whatever was asked and would not lie to her family. Her relationship with Gu Hansong would not be compromised.
If her family agrees, that would be great. If they try to stop her, she will overcome all difficulties and make everyone accept it.
Who knew that when she made up her mind, her mother ran away.
Meng Shulan stood at the door of the main room, watching her mother hurried out, and for a moment she didn't know whether to call her.
At this moment, Meng Changli came over.
"Forget it, let our mother be quiet for a while and let her digest this matter herself."
Meng Shulan: "Sister, do you already know?"
Given my sister's personality, it's impossible for her to be so calm.
Meng Changli nodded, "I noticed it when we were in South City."
Meng Shulan laughed, "Dad's place, and those people in the store..."
Meng Changli sighed, "I was the one who advised Dad not to bring it up for now. During the New Year period, everyone is busy and has no time to deal with these things.
I have also issued a gag order in the store and have been keeping it a secret.
I think mom would not agree, after all, you need to study. Gu Hansong is capable, I have seen all of this, and he has helped us a lot recently, so I think he is serious about you.
But no matter how capable he is, he is still a villager. Although we all believe that he will get out of here and make a name for himself, my mother may not be willing to take the risk. She values the present. After all, this is the safest way. "
My sister’s analysis is very correct, and this is also what Meng Shulan is worried about.
Although He Jinqiu usually listens to her two daughters, Meng Shulan knows that she also has her own principles.
For example, her family would definitely not allow her to date Gu Hansong before she took the college entrance examination.
In the previous life, Han Ning came to the village and spread gossip to Meng Shulan. He Jinqiu didn't say anything openly, but still hinted that he should focus on his studies and deal with other things after he finished the exams.
At that time, Han Ning had a gentle and elegant appearance, a good family background, and was a classmate of Meng Shulan. In the eyes of many people, he was actually a pretty good person.
He Jinqiu also liked him at the time, but still did not agree with his daughter having a relationship before the college entrance examination.
Firstly, they were afraid that it would affect their studies, and secondly, they were afraid that they would go their separate ways after the college entrance examination. Due to practical reasons, they would not be able to be together, which would only add to their troubles.
He Jinqiu's idea was actually quite correct. She hadn't been reborn, so of course she didn't know Han Ning's true nature as a scumbag. Gu Hansong usually didn't show it. Although she knew he was a good guy, that was only compared to ordinary people. If he wanted to be a good match for her daughter who was going to college, he was naturally a little inferior.
For this year's college entrance examination, not to mention Meng Shulan, He Jinqiu is also very confident.
After all, my daughter ranked first in her grade. If she fails the exam, won’t no one in the school be able to go to college?
This is totally unacceptable.
My daughter is going to college soon, and she and Gu Hansong are obviously not suitable for each other!
But now, we've talked about it, how should we deal with this matter?
He Jinqiu didn't know for a moment.
Her daughter has been sensible and obedient since she was young. She always meets her daughter's requests and rarely disciplines her.
If possible, He Jinqiu didn't want to stop her daughter from pursuing happiness. At most, she would advise her to wait until she was over the exams, saying that studying was more important.
But with Gu Hansong...
He Jinqiu only walked around half a circle outside and came back with the two handfuls of melon seeds in his pocket.
She didn't want to go around anymore. There was already a big commotion outside. If she ran into someone, she would pull her aside and ask if it was true. If it wasn't true, why didn't she stop it? It would be so bad if it got out. A good girl's reputation would be ruined.
He Jinqiu was already confused and angry at everyone's constant chatter, so he hurried back.
We really can't go on like this, we have to make things clear.
My daughter is going to college, so her reputation is very important. If something goes wrong, it will have an impact on her future work and the relationship she can find.
After hearing some words from a few villagers he was on good terms with, He Jinqiu finally figured out what was going on in his mind, and he decided to find his daughter to ask for clarification.
If this had not happened, she would have immediately stood at the gate of the yard and cursed to shut up those gossipers.
If it was true, she would advise her daughter to put aside her feelings first, focus on the college entrance examination, and then make a decision based on the situation after the exam.
It depends on the situation, but He Jinqiu feels that as long as her daughter goes to college and moves to the city and meets more people, she will naturally forget about Gu Hansong, and she doesn't need to tell her about these things, and things will get back on track.
So now it's just a delaying tactic to stabilize the two of them first.
He Jinqiu came back, followed by a group of gossiping people who wanted to watch the fun.
However, before the matter was clarified, He Jinqiu couldn't let them laugh at their own family, so he closed the door as soon as he entered.
It was already mid-afternoon and the whole family was there. The two little kids didn't go out. Meng Fude, who had gone to visit relatives during the New Year, had also returned and was chopping wood in the yard.
The Meng family will also have several tables of guests tomorrow, because they have to start business on the fourth day of the New Year, and the family will be busy and no one will cook by then. They have already notified in advance and all the relatives who want to pay New Year's greetings will be gathered tomorrow.
Meng Shulan had something on her mind, so she didn't go to her room to study in the afternoon. She was in the kitchen helping to prepare ingredients for tomorrow's dinner party.
When He Jinqiu returned home, she washed her hands and came out.
Seeing his daughter, He Jinqiu sighed first, then asked her, "Is the story between you and Gu Hansong true?"
Meng Shulan: "Mom, come in and sit down and talk."
Seeing her daughter so calm, He Jinqiu felt very disappointed and had already thought about how to persuade her.
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the Meng family's gate.
He Jinqiu had bolted the door earlier to keep out those people outside.
But now it’s New Year’s Day, so there might be guests coming.
"Who is it?" Montford asked.
"Brother Fude, Sister Jinqiu, please open the door quickly."
The person knocking on the door was a villager.
Meng Fude frowned and was about to go over to see if there was anything wrong, but He Jinqiu said, "Don't open the door, it's nothing serious."
Those people just want to hear gossip.
After hearing what his wife said, Mengfud stopped moving.
But the people outside had no intention of giving up, and they knocked even more urgently than before, "Brother Fude, Sister Jinqiu, someone is coming, someone from the city, come out and take a look..."
