Chapter 216 Care
The two sisters of the Meng family went to the other side of the road to wait for the bus.
Inside the station, Ye Ran stood there for a long time without moving.
She was not stupid and knew that Meng Shulan was trying to sow discord between her and Han Ning.
Can……
She probably didn't lie.
Why did Han Ning transfer to their town? When he first came here, his classmates also asked him this question.
With such good conditions in the city, why come to town?
Although the vice-principal of the school is his uncle, his uncle is a relative and it is definitely not as comfortable as being at home.
Han Ning's excuse at the time was that he had repeated a year in the city, and he felt ashamed to repeat it again, so he ran here.
Han Ning smiled and spoke in a relaxed manner.
In fact, his reason is totally untenable.
Han Ning transferred here halfway, which means he had already attended a repeat class in the city for half a year and came to their town as a transfer student.
Since you feel it is shameful to repeat a grade, you should have transferred to another school at the beginning instead of changing schools midway.
But why other people want to forward it is their business. If they don't say it, there is no reason for us to keep asking.
But Ye Ran didn't take this seriously at all at that time.
No matter why he turned around, now that he is here, I have the chance to get close to him!
But now...
Ye Ran's face turned pale. No wonder Han Ning handed over all the business to her family, but was still unwilling to agree to their relationship.
It turned out that he had someone waiting here.
Where was that woman from? Was she from the city or a nearby village? The reason Meng Shulan suddenly broke up with Han Ning was probably because she knew about this matter.
Otherwise, they were both fine, why did they quarrel?
However, how did Meng Shulan know these things? Forget it, don't think about it, she is too lazy to care about other people's affairs, she only cares about herself now.
Ye Ran gritted her teeth and quickly left the station.
On the other side, the Meng sisters quickly arrived at the wholesale department.
The house that Meng Changli rented was very close to the wholesale department, but since she didn't live there often, she didn't prepare any pots and pans, and usually ate at the wholesale department.
Because most of the workers in the wholesale department were brought from the town, Meng Changli not only rented a dormitory for them next door, but also built a kitchen in the backyard and hired an aunt to buy groceries and cook.
Meng Shulan didn't want to eat out. She just wanted to eat something light in such a hot day.
Meng Changli said she would go to the market to buy some vegetables and bring them to the kitchen to cook.
The two sisters put down their things and quickly went to the market. They took a look around and not only bought some vegetables, but also two big watermelons.
When I was carrying the things back to the wholesale department, I saw a sturdy middle-aged woman walking towards us from afar. When she saw the two sisters, her eyes lit up and she kept waving.
Meng Shulan recognized her, the aunt who cooked in the kitchen.
Meng Changli asked her, "Want to go out?"
The auntie cooks here specially. She usually goes to the morning market. Normally, she should have bought all the vegetables and be ready to start cooking by this time.
The aunt said, "I was just about to look for you. Boss Meng, Secretary Xu is here again, and he brought two fish with him. He said he wanted to have a meal with us."
The auntie had a strange expression when she spoke, and there was not only worry in her eyes, but also gossip.
As soon as Meng Shulan saw her expression, she knew what was going on.
This Secretary Xu is most likely here for my sister.
Meng Changli nodded calmly, "Okay, let's go together, you just go and cook."
Meng Changli handed the dish in her hand to the aunt and asked her to make some appetizers.
The auntie is a good cook, so you can just leave the kitchen work to her.
The two sisters entered the wholesale department, and before they arrived they saw a man in his thirties wearing black-framed glasses craning his neck to look out.
When he saw Meng Changli, the man's mouth curled up and he immediately stood up to greet her.
"Chang Li, the canteen in the market is serving pumpkin stew today. I don't like that. Can I eat with you?"
Meng Changli smiled and replied, "Why are you teaming up? If Secretary Xu wants to eat Aunt Liao's food, just come over. I'm telling you, don't bring anything next time. It's just a big pot meal, but you brought two fish. Aren't we taking advantage of you?"
Meng Changli spoke as if she was chatting with an acquaintance. Her attitude was very generous and her voice was loud. Everyone working in the store and the backyard could hear her.
There were familiar people around, and everyone was chatting with each other while working and talking. It felt like this was a very normal thing. We had good relationships and it was no big deal to just get a free meal.
Secretary Xu was also smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and he was obviously a little disappointed.
Meng Shulan understood what was going on and quickly went to the back to help the aunt prepare the cold dishes.
Meng Changli also went to the office to handle her work. A customer came to the wholesale department again, so she took him to the office in the back to discuss the matter.
When the two sisters left, Secretary Xu was left behind. He didn't know what he was doing and felt a little embarrassed.
But this person did not leave, and it seemed that he still did not give up.
At noon, people in the wholesale department take turns to eat.
Meng Shulan met Secretary Xu again, and they sat at the same table.
Secretary Xu knew that she was Meng Changli's sister, and was very polite. He asked her about the college entrance examination. When he learned that she had to take an English test the next day, he was also surprised. He did not expect that the Meng family had a college student who was majoring in foreign languages.
After finishing her meal, Meng Shulan put down her bowl and said something polite to Officer Xu. Just as she was about to leave the table, she heard him ask, "It's been so long since you brought your sister's two children to the city to play. Is there anyone in town to take care of them?"
As he spoke, he kept looking toward the office.
Meng Changli hasn't come out since she sent two clients away, and no one knows what she is busy with inside.
Secretary Xu said this because he had obviously hit a snag with Meng Changli and wanted to shift his target to start with her two children.
Yes, for a second marriage, one has to consider not only personal issues but also the situation of the children.
Meng Shulan smiled and said, "How come no one is there to take care of them? My parents and relatives are here, and the two children are grown up, so they can just look after them.
Secretary Xu, please eat slowly and eat well. "
Meng Shulan left the table, took the lunch box, filled it with food for her sister, and planned to send it to her.
Seeing that he could not wait for Meng Changli any longer, Secretary Xu quickly finished the food at the bottom of his bowl and left.
In the office, Meng Changli lifted the curtains, looked outside, then opened the door and came out.
The two sisters met in the corridor. Meng Changli saw that her sister had already got her meal, so she didn't sit at the table.
The two went to the office, and after Meng Changli had finished her meal, she told her sister about Secretary Xu.
"He's a guy from the food wholesale market across the street. He's almost 30. His wife died of illness two years ago, leaving behind a three-year-old son. He's been here several times. At first, he asked someone to propose marriage, but I rejected him on the spot. But he didn't give up and would come to me from time to time."
Meng Changli sighed, "I didn't mind him at first, but now that he's been pestered like this, it's a bit annoying."
