Chapter 98: You Deserve It
Meng Chenggong thinks his sister has seen too little of the world and has a limited vision, not knowing that there are many excellent people out there.
As long as she goes out and sees the outside world, she will no longer look down on Gu Hansong.
"Brother, no need. The school will also set up a key class for the college entrance examination next year. I will be fine here."
Meng Shulan refused to go, and even told her brother the same excuse she had told her parents.
I was going to tell my brother about this, but I was distracted by my sister's affairs these past two days and didn't think about it.
"Brother, don't worry, I can pass the exam next year, I have confidence."
After Meng Shulan finished speaking, she started reading a book.
Seeing this, Meng Chenggong didn't want to disturb him anymore.
Never mind. My sister said it so confidently. I guess she is a very sensible person.
Meng Chenggong sent his sister to the school gate and went back. When they parted, Meng Shulan reminded him to remember to come to the school to inform her if anything happened. Her sister's affairs were also her affairs, and he could not ignore her just because she was at school.
Meng Chenggong: "Brother is here, why are you worried? Just leave it to me."
Meng Shulan: "We agreed, don't be impulsive when things happen!"
This morning, I almost fell into the trap of the Huang family.
Meng Chenggong: "Okay, okay, I got it."
Seeing that her brother agreed, Meng Shulan finally carried her things back to school.
But in the next two days, she was a little worried about things at home and felt a little uneasy.
At noon on Thursday, after Meng Shulan finished her meal and saw that no one came to see her, she felt a little anxious and went out by herself.
Today is market day, and she wants to see if anyone in her family has come to town. If not, she can go to the police station and ask the officer about the current progress of the case.
Meng Shulan walked and looked around, but she didn't see her family members, nor did she see Gu Hansong, who often hung out on the streets, so she went to the police station.
When the comrades at the police station heard that she came to ask about the Huang family's case, they were a little nervous, but after confirming her identity, they seemed relieved. They invited her into the small office, poured her some tea, and then gave her a general account of the case.
Meng Shulan wondered why these people became respectful. It turned out that Jiang Tao had changed his confession and Huang Jialin was arrested again. The county also sent people to supervise the case. At this time, those people were in the town office. It seemed that this was a serious matter and someone had reported it to the higher authorities.
Needless to say, who reported this matter?
Hearing that her brother and sister were both in the office, Meng Shulan put down her teacup and went over.
It was a few minutes' walk away. When I arrived there, I just happened to see Meng Chenggong and Meng Changli coming down the stairs one after another. Behind them were not only people from the town office, but also two aunties from the Women's Federation.
"Shulan, how are you?"
Meng Changli was a little surprised to see her sister. "I said I was going to see you at school." She didn't expect her sister to come to her.
"Sister, I just went to the police station and heard that Jiang Tao changed her confession. What's going on?"
When Meng Shulan met her that time, the woman kept talking about love and affection. She was so foolish that it made people speechless. How come she came to her senses now?
Meng Changli: "She has a problem with her brain. Maybe she came to her senses after my persuasion last time. Well, God knows her. It's a good thing that she can figure it out."
Meng Changli said it very easily, as if the reversal of the matter had nothing to do with her at all.
Meng Shulan didn't think much about it. Just like her sister said, it was a good thing no matter what.
Hearing that they had not eaten yet, Meng Shulan said that they should go to the restaurant first and talk about it while eating.
The three of them greeted the leader of the town office and two comrades from the Women's Federation. Just as they were about to leave, they heard a scream like crying, followed by a figure rushing over and kneeling down in front of Meng Changli.
"Chang Li, we are husband and wife, please let Jia Lin and Yao Zhong go..."
The person kneeling on the ground is Zhuang Bailu.
After not seeing him for a few days, he had aged a lot and looked very decadent. He no longer had that arrogant air and looked like an old woman who had lived a miserable life.
It seems that the fact that Huang Jialin is going to jail is a big blow to her.
Indeed, he was almost thirty years old when he had such a son, and he was carefully cared for and nurtured, but now he has ended up like this. Who wouldn't be sad?
But this is all their own fault, there is nothing we can do about it.
Meng Shulan was also startled when she saw her kneeling down, and quickly helped her sister back away, and said to the people from the Women's Federation and the town office nearby: "What are you looking at? Help her up quickly!"
Meng Shulan didn't feel sorry for this person, but her behavior was clearly forcing her sister and putting moral shackles around her neck.
Upon hearing this, the two aunties from the Women's Federation came forward and wanted to help Zhuang Bailu, but she refused to cooperate and kept twisting and grabbing, which made the two aunties afraid to get close.
Zhuang Bailu really collapsed, and her resentful eyes stared at Meng Changli.
"It was you. You said something to that stupid woman Jiang Tao, right? It must be you. I asked someone and it's you. What did you say to her? How could you be so cruel? He's your man, the man you've slept with for several years. How could you be so cruel? Not only did you harm my son, but you also imprisoned my man..."
Meng Shulan was confused.
In addition to Huang Jialin being arrested, was Huang Yaozhong also arrested? Although I still don’t quite understand what happened, he deserved to be arrested.
Meng Shulan felt that there was nothing to talk about with such a person. She was just about to ask her brothers and sisters to leave and hand the stall to the people from the town office and the Women's Federation when the two daughters and son-in-law of the Huang family rushed over, pulled Zhuang Bailu up, one covered her mouth and the other held her hands, and dragged her away directly.
Meng Shulan: “…”
The action was very quick and efficient, much faster than the two aunts from the Women's Federation.
After Zhuang Bailu was taken away, the eldest daughter of the Huang family smiled at Meng Shulan and the others, as if to apologize. She then assured the people in the town that she would keep an eye on them in the future and they could rest assured.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the attitudes of the Huang family members changed so quickly.
Later, when they went to the restaurant to eat, the three siblings talked about this, and Meng Shulan realized that the Huang family had been trying to intercede with their family under the pretext of negotiation in the past few days.
At the beginning, when the Meng family asked for a divorce, the other party was still negotiating conditions and using the two children as an excuse.
Now that Huang Jialin was arrested again, he naturally could no longer be arrogant and kept admitting his mistakes and begging for mercy.
But having already seen those dirty faces, the Meng family naturally would not listen.
Seeing that the matter could not be negotiated, Huang Yaozhong actually started acting out the same sad drama as last time, by hanging himself on a tree outside the Meng family compound.
Although these were all coercive means, they were too bad. Meng Chenggong was so angry that he sent a telegram to report Secretary Wu and the police station in the town!
Secretary Wu was under investigation, and several departments in the town were very nervous, so they detained Huang Yaozhong on the grounds of provoking trouble.
That's why Zhuang Bailu cried for her son and howled for her man just now.
