Mo Bei glanced at Feng Heng, "What do you hate? If you look jealous, just find a girl to be with!"
"If it were so easy to find someone, would I still be single now?" Feng Heng sighed.
Feng Heng's appearance is above average, and his personality is good. He is not the kind who has trouble finding a partner. This is because his family used to have great conditions and he had a high level of discernment. Now his family is in decline, which makes him look down on ordinary girls.
On the other hand, girls with good conditions no longer like him.
But he would rather be alone than find someone he doesn't like.
Mo Bei smiled at Feng Heng, hugged Gu Anran tighter, lowered his head and asked her, "Did you go to the amusement park this morning?"
"Very good." Gu Anran snuggled into his arms and showed a guilty smile.
Mo Bei only thought she was because he hugged her in front of Feng Heng, so he was too shy to look up.
He stroked Gu Anran's hair and coaxed her with a smile, "Don't be shy, Feng Heng was just joking."
Feng Heng also laughed, "I was really joking just now. You can be affectionate as you like. From now on, my eyes will only look forward."
"..." Gu Anran pursed her lips and remained silent. How could she be shy? It was just because she had lied to Mo Bei that morning. When he asked, she felt guilty and bowed her head.
Before going out in the morning, she lied to Mo Bei that she had an appointment with Su Mo to go to the amusement park. Thinking that now that the matter was over, she should tell the truth in front of Mo Bei.
"Mo Bei, actually I lied this morning. I went to the amusement park, but not with Su Mo. I didn't go to the amusement park to play, I went to deal with something..."
After listening to what Gu Anran said, Mo Bei's face turned green. Although the matter had been settled and she was back in good condition, Mo Bei was still frightened for a long time. He smoked two cigarettes in a row before his face improved slightly.
Mo Bei asked with a straight face: "You know that Chu Yue wants your lives, but you still go? Just go and don't tell me in advance. If something really happens, I don't know what happened!"
Gu Anran said in a low voice, "If we don't go this time, the trap he prepared may be more difficult to identify next time. Take this opportunity to see through his plan so that he can never turn over and never have the chance to harm others again."
Having said that, Mo Bei was still very scared. He frowned and said, "Well, from now on I will pick you up and drop you off when you go to and from school."
Mo Bei thought that she should be safe at school. If something happened, she would be on the way. If he had always taken the time to pick her up and drop her off, it was impossible for him not to know that Chu Yue had looked for her.
"No need to go to such trouble, I'm not a child anymore!" Gu Anran didn't think it was necessary.
But Mo Bei said without any hesitation: "That's it. When all these matters with the Ruan family are settled, I will let you go to and from school by yourself."
Mo Bei was very determined at the moment, so Gu Anran didn't argue with him. Thinking of living a peaceful life, Mo Bei's worries would naturally fade away, and then he wouldn't be so insistent on taking her to and from school.
…
When the car drove into the newly built cement road leading from the town to the village, Gu Anran's eyes kept glancing outside, sitting in the car and looking around.
She still clearly remembered walking or riding with Mo Bei from the village to the town. The roads were bumpy and bumpy, and it felt difficult to walk. Even sitting on a tractor was bumpy and she doubted her life.
Sitting in the car now, the road is smooth and smooth. The journey that usually took more than an hour by bicycle now only takes ten minutes by car.
She was giggling all the way, and from time to time she would say: "It's so good... so good..."
Only when you have truly experienced the helplessness of one foot being deep and one foot shallow, can you truly cherish this kind of flat road.
Under the big willow tree in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, a group of chatting villagers gathered, blocking the way of the car.
Feng Heng pressed the car horn, and the villagers looked at the Santana sedan driven by Feng Heng with curiosity. Instead of trying to get out of the way, they surrounded it and leaned against the car window to get a clear view of the structure inside.
Some villagers have been to the city and have seen cars running on the streets of the city, but they have never seen or touched them so close. Some villagers have never been to the city, and this is even the first time they have seen a car.
Among this group of people was Mo Bei's mother, Wang Shuzhen.
Wang Shuzhen originally came to the supply and marketing cooperative to be jealous. When she left the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, she was stopped by the villagers. They were all curious about where Mo Bei got the money to build this road. They asked the people from the road construction team.
Yes, it cost 200,000 yuan to build this road!
Has Mo Bei made a big business in the city and become prosperous? If Mo Bei is really prosperous, everyone will actively build a good relationship with the Mo family and benefit from Mo Bei's fortune in the future.
Wang Shuzhen answered the villagers' questions according to what Mo Bei taught her in advance, "The second brother said that this road was built with money borrowed from the bank to make it easier to sell medicinal materials from the mountain."
As soon as they heard that Mo Bei borrowed money to build the road, the villagers' enthusiasm dissipated. They wanted to draw a clear line with Mo Bei immediately, for fear that they would be unlucky if Mo Bei lost money in the future.
Someone even asked Wang Shuzhen, "If Mo Bei doesn't pay back the money to the bank in the future, will the bank people cut off this road?"
Someone immediately sneered, "Oh, this road, we usually walk a lot, maybe one day we will be picked off by the bank people!"
Others curled their lips and questioned, "Mo Bei thought he made some money from Rehmannia glutinosa last year, so he really took the medicinal materials as a serious business? I heard that many medicinal materials on the mountain were seeds bought by Mo Bei and his wife, and they hired people to plant them.
It costs money to buy seeds, and it also costs money to hire people to take care of the medicinal materials. Those costs may not be earned back, and Mo Bei borrowed money to build roads. I'm not telling you, Mo Bei has no business acumen! This has to be compensated.
I can’t even wear my pants anymore.”
"Hahahaha..." The villagers burst into laughter when they heard this.
Wang Shuzhen didn't panic at all. She was confident in her heart and had confidence in her son and daughter-in-law. Therefore, when she heard other people's remarks, she just thought they were saying mean things and happily opened their mouths.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of a car horn. She turned around and saw that many villagers who had just surrounded her ran over and surrounded a car.
She wondered in her mind whether her son was back? The road was repaired, so her son drove back?
Just as he was about to squeeze in and take a look, the car door opened. Mo Bei stood by the car door, waving his hand at Wang Shuzhen and calling her, "Mom, get in the car and take you home."
"Hey!" Wang Shuzhen saw her son walking over with a happy smile. When she got there, she found that her daughter-in-law had also followed her.
Gu Anran called out "Mom" sweetly, leaned over and held Wang Shuzhen's arm to pull her into the car.
"Hey! An Ran is back too! Mom will prepare delicious food for you later!"
"Okay! I just want to eat mom's pancake!"
"That's not easy!" Wang Shuzhen's smiling face became more wrinkled after not seeing her daughter-in-law for many days.
Wang Shuzhen sat in the car. The soft feeling made her feel strange and novel. It was as comfortable as sitting on a kang covered with many layers of quilts. When she sat down, she felt like she was stuck in it.
But with so many neighbors watching, she tried to remain calm and not let others see that she had not seen the world.
Feng Heng honked a few more times, the road gave way, and they drove forward.
As soon as the car drove away, the villagers gathered together to gossip again.
"Did you also borrow money from the bank to buy the car?"
"That's for sure! This car is more expensive than road construction! Could it be that you didn't borrow money to buy it?"
"Oh! You're so confused! If you borrow so much money and you can't pay it back, you'll be arrested and put in jail, right?"
