Meng Wanwan's expression changed. How could her mother bring this up at this time? According to the usual rules, it would surely fall on that bitch Hua Ansu's head!
Ruan Geng was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was asking about the selection of outstanding unmarried men and women in the tribe, which only takes five years. He said, "This has to be decided by voting according to the rules. There's no rush. This year's selection is still a few months away."
He thought for a moment, "Wanwan just turned 18 this year, right? She's so lucky, she just happened to be born at that age."
He stroked his beard. "Then there's no rush. Wanwan is such an outstanding girl; she can take her time choosing the best young men in the tribe..."
Meng Tongzheng's wife's eyes lit up. "Choose whatever you like?"
Ruan Geng choked. When did he say he could choose whatever he wanted?
The way she's talking makes it sound like she'll just go for whichever one she likes. Shouldn't both parties like each other for this to happen?
Meng Tongzheng was also very concerned about this matter. He wanted his daughter to marry Babu, who was the most outstanding young man in the previous year's competition. That night, he had to successfully win the title of the most outstanding young woman. "Old Ruan, about this matter..."
Ruan Geng said irritably, "You're trying to get involved too? Don't you know the election rules?"
Meng Tongzheng knew that Ruan Geng doted on Ba Mengmeng the most. Although he treated his Wanwan well, he didn't truly love her from the bottom of his heart.
Ruan Geng and Zeng Lianggu both showed their affection for Wanwan because of her close relationship with Ba Mengmeng. These two old men had eccentric temperaments and rarely liked anyone, but they were particularly fond of Ba Mengmeng, to the point of being willing to risk their lives for her. Of course, Wanwan herself was also very capable, well-behaved, and sensible. However, when a well-behaved and obedient child has been obedient for a long time, suddenly asking adults for candy will only backfire.
Meng Tongzheng understood this principle, Meng Wanwan understood it, and Meng Tongzheng's wife also understood it, but they were unwilling to accept it. This was such a good opportunity, and people's hearts determined the votes, but in the end, people's hearts were going to others.
Meng Wanwan quickly pulled her parents back, "Grandpa Ruan, my parents are just too worried about me. I've only just come of age, there's no rush for this."
Ruan Geng was satisfied. "If there's no rush, let's talk about something else." The other thing he mentioned was: "Remember not to get any more medicine for your father. He's better now."
He then looked at Meng Tongzheng, "The main problem is that Wanwan's treatment methods are different from the deputy minister's, and I'm afraid there might be a conflict between them."
It was also an explanation to Meng Wanwan, but he had no idea about any techniques or anything like that; it was just a casual remark.
Meng Tongzheng nodded, "Mr. Ruan, I understand, thank you for your concern." He felt relieved. It turned out that it wasn't that he looked down on Wanwan's medical skills, but rather that he had other concerns.
After finishing his business, Ruan Geng left Meng Tongzheng's house in a good mood and happened to run into Zeng Lianggu, whom he had sent away earlier.
Ruan Geng felt uneasy when he met his old friend. What could he do? He had sworn an oath to Hua Ansu that he would not tell anyone what he had seen!
Zeng Lianggu finally found someone, glared at him, and asked, "Old Geng, what do you mean?"
Ruan Geng can easily lie to people now, "I told you to keep an eye on Babu and the others, how come you're back? Is it over there?"
"I'm talking about your attitude towards that brat Hua Ansu!"
Zeng Lianggu, who knows Ruan Geng best, said, "Don't tell me again that you opened your eyes and found Hua Ansu to be a good girl. That kind of talk won't work!"
Ruan Geng pondered for a moment, "Old Gu, actually she's a really nice girl. Haven't you noticed that Mengmeng's opinion of her has changed? So I thought about it carefully, and since she came here, she really hasn't done anything that would be detrimental to us..."
