Chapter 39: Clown
Meng Shulan didn’t know what to say about Hu Bifang’s matter.
This is her choice, and now she can continue her studies. She believes that the future will be better than her previous life.
but……
Meng Shulan whispered to her, "You're still in school, so don't get pregnant." Otherwise, it would be bad if you worked so hard and ended up like in your previous life.
Hearing her mention this, Hu Bifang felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She quickly explained, "It's not what you think. I just moved in with him and slept in the same room with his sister, but I didn't marry him."
So that's it! Meng Shulan: "Sorry, I thought too much."
"fine……"
In fact, this is what it looks like in the eyes of outsiders.
Hu Bifang knew what the Zhou family meant. No matter whether she could pass the exam in the future, she would be a member of the Zhou family in the eyes of others.
Some people may think that the Zhou family is a little inhumane for tying up their daughter-in-law so tightly.
But Hu Bifang didn't think so.
She is already very satisfied to have a chance to study.
If the Zhou family had not borrowed grain from her back then, she might have starved to death at that time, and would not have been alive until now.
She also understood the Zhou family's concerns. In the past two years, a large number of educated youth returned to the city. How many of them abandoned their families and returned to the city regardless of everything? How could ordinary people not be afraid?
Now, everything has been talked out. In this conservative and shy era, although she would be subject to some gossip if she lived with the man, she also received better support for her studies.
The Zhou family's conditions were better than my own. At least I didn't have to eat corn bran and sweet potato chunks at school every day, and I could even relight the oil lamp that had been off for a long time.
If you want to get something, you must know how to give.
The two of them returned to the dormitory chatting and laughing, and almost bumped into someone when they entered the door.
The person who was coming out of their dormitory was Ye Ran. She looked very happy and proud, with a smile on her face. However, when she saw Meng Shulan, her smile gradually changed and became a little sarcastic.
Meng Shulan wanted to confront her when she saw her, and said directly with disdain: "Your smile is really ugly."
Ye Ran's face froze, and she felt angry. She glared at Meng Shulan and wanted to bite her.
Meng Shulan: "Classmate, don't block the way, this is my dormitory."
Next to her, Hu Bifang also quietly expressed her dissatisfaction, "It's too cold outside, please move aside."
Ye Ran snorted, looked at Meng Shulan, then looked at Hu Bifang, and went out to make way for her. As she walked back to her dormitory, she said meaningfully, "You can only get along with people like this."
Hu Bifang is as timid as a quail. Her family is so poor that they can't even afford a grain of rice. It's really embarrassing for Meng Shulan to walk with her.
Ye Ran's voice was loud, and both Meng Shulan and Hu Bifang heard it.
Meng Shulan didn't mind it, she just thought Ye Ran was a clown trying to make a name for herself.
Hu Bifang's face didn't look good, she looked embarrassed and angry.
Meng Shulan took Hu Bifang's arm and said with a smile: "I just love being with you. As for other people's nonsense, just ignore it. It's not worth wasting your time."
The two of them walked in. Everyone else in the dormitory was there, but no one said a word. One person was eating a handful of fried broad beans.
This was obviously just sent by Ye Ran.
Seeing Meng Shulan coming back, someone smiled awkwardly and hid the broad beans in his hand into his pocket.
Some people pretended nothing happened and went about their own business.
Zheng Min chewed broad beans and flipped through the book Ye Ran lent her. She looked very proud. When Meng Shulan came to the table to get a cup of water and a washbasin, she deliberately asked, "Shulan, have you finished reading the book you have on hand?"
Meng Shulan: "What?"
Zheng Min: "It's nothing. I just want to tell you that it's okay. You can take your time to read it. I won't lend it to you for the time being. I'm reading someone else's book these days and don't have time."
After saying so much, it turned out that she wanted to show off to me that she had books to read.
Meng Shulan: "It just so happens that I didn't plan to lend it to you."
Zheng Min choked, looked up and glared at Meng Shulan, her mouth twisted with anger.
Meng Shulan raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her mouth.
When Zheng Min saw this, she became even angrier.
At this moment, Tian Feiyan came over, blocking their line of sight, and kept winking at Zheng Min. When Meng Shulan and Hu Bifang went downstairs to wash up, she gently advised: "We are in the same class after all, we will see each other sooner or later, don't make things awkward for you."
Tian Feiyan was not on Meng Shulan's side, she just felt it was unnecessary.
Tian Feiyan is almost twenty this year, and this is the last chance her family will give her.
Meng Shulan's temperament suddenly changed so quickly that to be honest, she was a little unhappy. But no matter how unhappy she was, she still had to coax her because she had good grades. Who knew if she would come to her for help in the future? No matter how dissatisfied she was, she should not block her way.
Moreover, the reason why Ye Ran came to please them at this time was simply because she was eager to restore her reputation. When everyone had forgotten about the incident and Ye Ran returned to her original circle, it was hard to say whether she would still pay attention to them.
Tian Feiyan is still very rational, and her mind is much more complicated than Zheng Min's.
Zheng Min was still angry, "Who cares about having anything to do with her?"
That being said, I feel a little unsure.
In fact, she understood the reason, but she couldn't help it because of her temperament.
Tian Feiyan patted her on the shoulder and told her to say less.
The others didn't say a word the whole time and just watched the show quietly.
The next day at noon.
When Meng Shulan was eating lunch in the classroom, students from the next class came to call her and said that someone was waiting at the school gate and said it was her sister.
My sister is here! It seems that the business has made some progress.
Meng Shulan put down the rice bowl and ran out quickly.
When she arrived at the school's big iron gate, she not only saw her sister, but also her mother carrying a bamboo basket.
"Mom, sister."
Meng Shulan went out.
Seeing her come out, He Jinqiu and Meng Changli were also very happy. They asked her if she had eaten and wanted to take her out to eat something delicious.
It's market time today.
"Mom, no thanks. I have a big exam this Saturday and I'm busy studying."
After hearing this, the two of them gave up those thoughts.
Meng Changli pulled her sister to the corner and took out a few pairs of trousers from the cloth bag.
"Shulan, take a look."
Meng Changli held those pairs of pants in her hands, feeling a little excited and nervous.
She had spent a lot of time trying to make the pants, and she didn't even know if they fit her well.
On Monday, Meng Changli took He Jinqiu into the city and settled all the matters that had been discussed in advance.
Jinpa was left in the Ministry of Culture. Song Huailing borrowed money and gave them some industrial tickets.
Accompanied by Meng Chenggong, the mother and daughter bought the things and brought back the cloth.
Meng Changli has been staying at her parents' house these days. She first read the book that Meng Shulan found for her, and then determined the size based on her usual experience. She made three pairs of pants each for men and women.
Meng Shulan picked up each one and looked at it, and her eyes became brighter the more she looked.
"Sister, that's right, that's how it's done, very good."
Forget it, no complaints, no pessimism. Thanks to all the kids who voted for me in the past two days, I love you~ (End of this chapter)
