Chapter 1824 You're the Best Friend in the World
Shu Yu chuckled and flicked her forehead. "Do you think that anyone who disciplines Tao Qin is on your side? I remember the first time we met, I slapped Tao Qin, and you immediately opened up to me."
Meng Han was a little embarrassed, "Not really, I still vary from person to person."
As she spoke, she looked at Shu Yu's face again, "Sister Shu Yu, don't be jealous. I still think you're the best person in the world."
Shu Yu, “…” Ugh, who’s jealous?
“Your second cousin isn’t really a bad person. If Zhang and Tao Qin hadn’t plotted against her first, she wouldn’t have retaliated. It’s good that you’ve made this good connection with her. If she becomes successful in the future, she will most likely remember this kindness.”
Upon receiving Shu Yu's affirmation, Meng Han immediately perked up, "Right? That's what I think too. My second cousin was bullied so badly before, but she always endured it. If she hadn't reached her breaking point, who would be willing to resort to such methods, right? The villagers even think she has a dark mind and will harm the villagers in the future. It's really incomprehensible."
"So you went to Taojia Village today, heard such a big piece of gossip, and came right back?"
It's still early.
Meng Han sighed, "No, that's not it. We went to my great-uncle's house this morning and were planning to go to my great-aunt's house this afternoon. But then I heard from somewhere that our Meng family had received an imperial plaque from the Emperor. Everyone gathered around, and half the village was flattering us. We couldn't stand it, so we made an excuse and ran home."
Like Hedeng Village, Taojia Village is even closer to the county seat. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when people go to the city to visit relatives, they will naturally hear these rumors.
Meng Han was genuinely scared; even the vain Tao Shi couldn't withstand it.
Fortunately, they don't usually have to go back; they only go during holidays. Meng Han and Meng Qi go back even less often.
For Meng Han, the biggest takeaway today was learning about the Tao family.
At the same time, she was also a little worried.
"Sister Shuyu, do you think Taoqin might come to our house and beg my mother to help her break off her engagement with Master Jin? Now that we have received the imperial plaque, Master Jin will be wary of us."
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. "You'll have to ask your parents about this. If they're unwilling to help, it's not a big problem. Besides, Tao Qin wants to break off the engagement, and I reckon Zhang Shi won't be willing to either."
Zhang only married Jin for money. Now that Tao Ling has run away and Tao Qin has lost her virginity, if she doesn't marry Jin, her dream of living a good life with her two daughters will be shattered. How will she and her son survive?
Meng Han suddenly realized, "You're right."
On the way back, she actually asked her parents. Her father didn't say anything, but her mother said a few harsh words, saying that Tao Qin brought it on herself, that she was the one who schemed against others first, and that she had no reason to blame Tao Ling.
That's what they say, but it's still uncertain whether her mother will soften her heart in the end.
But Meng Han's worries were not unfounded. A day later, Tao Qin indeed secretly ran to the Meng family for help, without telling Zhang Shi.
Unfortunately, as soon as she barged into the Meng family's front yard, Meng Qi dragged her back to the Tao family and told Zhang to keep a close eye on her and not to disturb their lives anymore.
Zhang was furious. She thought Tao Qin had given up, but she never expected her to cause such a commotion.
Without saying a word, she tied Tao Qin up and locked her in the room, waiting for the wedding day to arrive.
