Chapter 99: Marriage is going to fail
Shen Meng looked at Teacher Zheng’s greetings and then hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean to come to school. I just saw Mingyang and his friends studying and I was happy. I also wanted to learn from them. I used to attend a blind class, but my family was not well off, so I didn’t go to school. I didn’t come to school, but I learned to read with Mingyang and his friends. Well, I also want to know how I am doing. So I want to ask you to see if I can take the exam when the school takes the exam.”
After she finished speaking, she lifted the small flower beside her ear, then lowered her head and smiled shyly at the right time.
Teacher Zheng welcomes people who love learning very much, and she has deep sympathy for what Shen Meng just said. This is the girl from the countryside who loves learning but can't go to school. Why does she stay here and not go back to the city? Isn't it because she wants more women to wake up and recognize their own abilities?
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that, sister-in-law. Your idea is very good. How about this, you study hard with Mingyang and the others, and when it's time for the exam, I'll give you an extra test paper. If you do well in your studies, I'll apply for a diploma for you, a primary school diploma, and I'll help you get a student record. Sister-in-law, you study hard, maybe you can become a college student in the future!"
"I, I will definitely work hard, Teacher Zheng."
Teacher Zheng's words were exactly what Shen Meng wanted. This was exactly the effect she wanted. It would definitely not work if she came to school every day, but with Teacher Zheng's help, she would definitely have no problem getting a primary school diploma. Although the knowledge of junior high and high school was different from that in her previous life, as long as she read and learned more, it would not be much different.
After getting the answer she wanted, Shen Meng took out everything in the basket, and put the rice and noodles under Teacher Zheng's desk when she wasn't paying attention. She then ran out and put a bag of rice noodles on the bicycle in the office, taught her how to do it, and then rode her bicycle home.
She had just arrived home when she saw someone sitting at the door. She looked closely and found that it was Guo Xiuqin. There were some gifts beside her, and it was obvious that she came to see her patient.
"Director Guo, why are you here?"
Guo Xiuqin was very ashamed. She had just been here for a while, but she didn't dare to knock on the door. When she saw Shen Meng coming back from outside, she hurried over to greet her.
"Xiao Meng, where have you been? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better. Nothing's wrong. I just went to school. There's a lot of things going on at home. I'm sorry to always trouble the teacher. I just came to say thank you."
Guo Xiuqin felt relieved when she heard that. She waved the things in her hands and said, "I feel relieved to know that you are discharged from the hospital. I wanted to come and see you last night. I was afraid that you needed to rest, so I hurried here today."
"Come on, let's go home and talk."
Guo Xiuqin shook her head. She had to hurry to her uncle's house soon. There was a quarrel in their house all day long, which caused the neighbors to gossip. If this continued, they would have no life.
"I won't go there. I came to you this time to apologize to you. Xiao Meng, you believe your aunt. Although I saw you get the note from the brick factory that day, I was just jealous. I went home and expressed my feelings to my husband and son, but I didn't expect my grandmother to hear it. I really didn't expect her to go to Zhenping's mother to tell her. You got beaten for no reason. It's really my fault, Xiao Meng, I'm really sorry."
Shen Meng knew in her heart that Director Guo was not to blame for this. Moreover, everyone in Lujia Village knew her character. She was not a troublemaker. She was the director of the Women's Department and usually helped the women in the village with their work. Shen Meng naturally would not blame her.
"Director Guo, how can you say that? How can I blame you? This matter has nothing to do with you. It's my grandmother who wants to find me. Otherwise, even if I made a fortune for my parents, she wouldn't say anything. She's just jealous and feels uncomfortable. My parents gave birth to me and raised me. They bought me medicine and took care of me day and night when I was sick. I'm married, not prostituted. It's natural for me to respect them. No one can control me."
"That's true, but since you're married, you're living as a couple. Your old lady is not a easy person to get along with, but she is Zhenping's mother after all. She's doing it for Zhenping's sake. You can just get by with it. After all, the most important thing is that you live a happy life." It's not easy to
be a daughter-in-law. Women like Shen Meng, Wu Xianglan, Zhou Jiaojiao and Xie Jinghao are already very good. Some men only listen to their mothers and either beat or scold their daughters-in-law. They always shout that a beaten daughter-in-law is better than a beaten dough. A few years ago, there were a few people in Lujia Village who were beaten crazy. There were many who sat on graves and cried in the middle of the night.
But what can she do? She can only try her best to reduce such things in the village. However, the family of Guaishu is the opposite. A good pair of parents-in-law did not meet a good daughter-in-law, but their own son was kidnapped and became a useless person. It is really strange that there are many strange things every year, especially this year.
"I know, auntie."
"This is a gift from auntie to you. I have to go to Guaishu's house soon. There are also a lot of rubbish in their house. I heard that Xiangxiang's marriage is going to fail. It's really infuriating."
"I can't accept this. You can go and do something. When you are free, just come to my house and play."
Shen Meng pushed the things away. She just went to give gifts to Teacher Zheng, but she didn't expect to receive a lot of things when she came back.
"Take this. It will make Auntie feel better. I have to leave now. If it's too late, there might be a fight at Uncle Guai's house."
Guo Xiuqin didn't give her much time to refuse. She put the things in Shen Meng's bicycle basket, said hello, and turned around and left.
Shen Meng frowned and looked at Director Guo. She had heard Uncle Guai say that Xiangxiang would get married soon. He also said that he had hired a suona band to make a good party for Xiangxiang's wedding. The old couple owed Xiangxiang a lot, so they wanted to make up for it when she got married.
But she didn't expect that Xiangxiang's wedding would be cancelled after such a short time.
At Uncle Guai's house over there.
Zhu Juying sat on the ground with messy hair, and opposite her was Huang Maochun, who also had messy hair. She leaned over and pointed at the old woman sitting on the ground and cursed.
"You damn old woman, it's none of my business that your daughter can't get married. If you have the guts, go find her in-laws. Why are you venting your anger on me? Who made your family poor? You are a worthless bastard. How dare you hit me? I am not so easy to bully. I, Huang Maochun, have studied for two years and am an intellectual, but you peasants are different. I tell you, be polite to me in the future."
"Maochun, how can you talk to me like this? In front of the queen, what old mother are you calling me?" Lu Xingchang shouted in dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, Huang Maochun walked up to him and raised his hand to slap him. With a "slap" sound, the Lu family was shocked and could not react for a long time.
