Chapter 211: Never See Each Other Again
That’s it for Meng Shulan to go to the city to take the professional exam.
That night, the Meng family had chicken and fish for dinner again, but this time it was not ordinary fish, but a wild turtle.
I don’t know where Mengfud bought it from, but he bought it specifically for his daughter’s health.
It was Meng Shulan’s first time to eat soft-shelled turtle, and it looked a little scary.
But her family prepared it specially for her, so she didn’t eat much of the meat, but drank two bowls of soup.
At the dinner table, Meng Shulan asked and found out that her sister had gone to the city yesterday for an urgent matter.
Now the factory and the wholesale department over there have installed telephones, making it very convenient to communicate. There was a big customer from another province who wanted to place an order, so she went to talk to him.
"It's urgent, so your sister will go first. The exam is the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go with your teacher, or go to the city tomorrow to wait? I think you should go first and rest well tonight before going to the exam site the day after tomorrow."
The school has already said that they will arrange two people to accompany us for the exam, but the head teacher mentioned to the dean that if they could take the factory bus, they would like to go early the day after tomorrow and don't have to stay there the day before.
If you go to the city one day in advance, it is not only a matter of cost, but you will also have to waste a day, because the bus from the town to the city leaves in the morning and returns in the afternoon.
These two days, the lower grade students in the school are preparing for summer vacation, and everyone has some work on hand.
The head teacher had said earlier that if Meng Shulan had convenient accommodation there, she could go there early and get a good rest to prepare for the exam the next day.
Meng Shulan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go there tomorrow."
My sister is there, so everything is convenient.
He Jinqiu nodded, she thought so too.
After dinner, a relative who worked the night shift at the factory came over to see how things were going and to show concern for the exam.
Meng Danhong also came and asked whether the questions were difficult this time.
Meng Shulan nodded. Although she felt it was okay, she heard from other classmates that it was still quite difficult.
The next day, after breakfast, Meng Shulan went to the town station accompanied by her parents.
The three of them set out early, and when they arrived at the station the driver had not arrived yet and there were not many people in the car.
It was stuffy in the car on such a hot day, so the three of them stood under a nearby electric pole and talked.
Mainly, He Jinqiu was instructing her daughter about what to do for the exam tomorrow and what to do today.
As the three were chatting, the wooden door of a shop not far from the station opened, and Jose and her husband carried out a long table, and it looked like they were preparing to set up a stall.
After Jose-jun broke up with the Ye family, he took over the original store, which was right next to the station.
In recent days, Meng Shulan also heard from her sister and mother about what happened with Jose Jun.
The whole family has joined in on this business. When he first started working on his own, he hired some people, but I heard recently that they quit their jobs again and he also reduced the number of sewing machines by two. Usually, it is He Shisaijun and his two daughters-in-law who work in the workshop.
The location of this storefront next to the station is not bad, but there are nearly ten small clothing workshops of all sizes in the town. Jose has to squeeze in among them to share the little money that slips away from the Meng family, and his life is difficult.
In the past month, due to the opening of the wholesale department in the city, the Meng family has received more orders. Meng Changli has also found workshops in the town to help them with some simple processes.
The business that the Meng family released was naturally a big order.
Seven or eight workshops came to compete, and Jose-jun also submitted a plan, saying that if the order was given to her, she would recruit people immediately.
Meng Changli cursed at that time, saying that she had never seen anyone so shameless.
Naturally, the Meng family's processing business did not fall into He Saijun's hands.
How is it possible? They had such an ugly quarrel back then. Do you really think that they have a bad memory and have forgotten everything?
The Meng family and Jose-kun will never have any intersection in this life.
It was a coincidence that Meng Shulan came today and happened to see He Saijun's shop open.
But she just took a glance and then didn't pay any attention to it.
At the entrance of He's store, Jose looked up towards the station and naturally saw the three people from the Meng family.
Meng Shulan is back. I don’t know how the exams went in the past two days.
It should be pretty good. I heard that she has been the top student in the grade for the past six months and her grades are very good.
If it was in the past, Jose would have gone up to ask, but now...
I have no further contact with the Meng family, so I definitely regret it.
The main reason was that I didn’t expect the Meng family to be able to open a factory and make the business so big.
If he had not partnered with the Ye family in the first place and severed all those relationships, even if it was just superficial work, He Saijun felt that for the sake of their relatives, Meng Changli would have to give her a copy of the last processing order.
As a result, she applied for eight workshops and was selected from five, but not her.
She believes that she has some abilities, and the reason she was not selected must be due to her personal relationships.
Thinking that the five workshops wouldn't have to worry about business for the next two months, Jose felt very upset. How could he not regret it?
José was feeling depressed when her husband poked her arm.
She looked over with some confusion, and saw her husband winking at her and whispering, "It's a rare opportunity to meet you, come over and say hello!"
This meant asking her to bow her head and take the initiative to repair the relationship.
Jose-kun refused to go and bit his lip tightly.
The Meng family hasn't given her any benefits, so why should she have the nerve to stick to their cold butt?
She's not going.
Mr. Jose will not go, not even if you kill me.
She was the best-married among her sisters, had enjoyed a glorious life for half her life, and was now a grandmother. How could she be asked to bow down to her once honest elder sister? How could it be possible!
He Saijun feels that even if she can’t make money, she still has her own backbone.
But she was too shameless to approach them any more. If any member of the Meng family gave her a smiling look, she would probably run away faster than a rabbit.
When Hesaijun's husband saw that this tactless woman didn't listen, he got angry and started scolding her when he returned to the house.
When the matchmaker first introduced him to the marriage, it was originally for the eldest son of the He family, He Jinqiu. It was He Saijun, the younger sister, who took the initiative to get close to him and snatched the marriage away.
At that time, my family did not agree with it, thinking that if someone could use such means, there must be something wrong with his character.
He was blinded and insisted on marrying Jose.
In the early years, the couple lived a pretty good life. Jose used his family connections to get a job in the commune, which brought some income to the family.
But times have changed, society is different now, and everyone was optimistic about the great opportunity, but who would have known that at this critical juncture, this woman He Saijun would become like someone with a disease, not only offending the Meng family, but also refusing to listen to others.
If he had known this would happen, he should have married He Jinqiu. If he had a daughter as capable as Meng Changli, the Meng family factory would have become his!
