After a long wait, it was finally Xia Wan's turn.

She eagerly picked up the receiver and skillfully dialed her godmother's phone number. Then, a rhythmic beeping sound came from the receiver.

Each beep seemed to pound on Xia Wan's anxious heart, making her even more nervous.

Just when Xia Wan was about to lose patience, her godmother's familiar and warm voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing that sound, Xia Wan's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

From her godmother's tone, she could clearly sense that the other party had not encountered any difficult problems or troubles, which made her feel truly relieved.

"Godmother, it's me, Wanwan. How have you and Godfather been lately?" Xia Wan asked eagerly, her words full of concern.

The godmother on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised that Wanwan would call, and her voice immediately showed a hint of delight:

"Oh, it's Wanwan! You little rascal, why haven't you written back to us in so long? If you don't write back soon, I'm really going to call your brother over to check on you! Have you completely forgotten about us old folks?"

Xia Wan's lips curled into a charming smile, as radiant and captivating as spring flowers in full bloom. She said sweetly, "Godmother, don't worry, how could I possibly forget you? All those things you sent me last time, I still haven't finished using them!"

As she spoke, a hint of coquettishness unconsciously crept into her tone.

Immediately afterward, Xia Wan seemed to suddenly remember something important and quickly added, "Oh, right, godmother, has Brother Li taken care of that thing I sent him last time?"

However, because there were many other people waiting in line to make phone calls, she felt it inconvenient to say the word "ginseng" directly.

Xia Wan initially thought her godmother was just making a casual complaint, but after hearing Sun Hui's words, she realized that things were not so simple.

It turned out that the other party had been genuinely waiting for her reply all along, and quite some time had passed.

All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was Sun Hui's slightly puzzled voice: "Wanwan, didn't your brother send you the money a long time ago? It's been quite a while now, haven't you checked at the post office yet?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan couldn't help but narrow her beautiful eyes slightly, a strange feeling instantly welling up in her heart.

She frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "Godmother, when did my brother send the money? I haven't been to the post office recently, so I have no idea about it!"

You should know that the day before she boarded the train, she made a special trip to the post office, but she neither saw her own money order nor found any package.

Thinking of this, a terrible thought involuntarily surfaced in Xia Wan's mind—could it be that someone secretly tampered with her things?

That's highly unlikely. After all, Sister Zhao knows her. How could she just stand by and watch someone take what belongs to her? It's simply a fantasy!

After thinking for a moment and roughly estimating the time, Sun Hui slowly said, "In my opinion, that thing should have arrived here on the 6th."

Oh, and there's something else I needed to tell you. Your brother sent you a package, right? I'm not sure if it's been delivered yet. But when you have some free time, you can go to the post office and pick up the package and that other item together!

Hearing this, Xia Wan finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that I left by train early on the 6th, which cleverly avoided the time of that mysterious remittance slip. What a stroke of luck!

Just as Xia Wan opened her mouth to say something, Sun Hui's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Oh dear, I recently heard that Qiao Qiao has actually paid back all the money she owed that family! I wonder if she's back in the village now. You'd better be careful and try to avoid her. That little brat is very cunning!"

Xia Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face, but she wasn't particularly surprised.

For Qiao Qiao, good fortune always seemed to be with her. The only question is, where did she get such a large sum of money to pay off her debts?

Could there really be some secret, unknown channel? You know, Qiao Qiao is known for her extravagant spending habits. Logically speaking, most of the money she has should have already been squandered.

So where did the funds used to repay the debt come from? This is truly perplexing…

"I don't really know about that. I just overheard someone mention it casually. Apparently, those two girls have already paid back the money!" Sun Hui said, pursing her lips with undisguised disdain in her voice.

After exchanging a few more words with Sun Hui, Xia Wan hurriedly hung up the phone. However, out of caution, she decided to call the Yongmao County Post Office again to confirm the situation. Coincidentally, as soon as the call connected, it was Zhao Jie's familiar voice on the other end.

"Hello, this is the Yongmao County Post Office. May I ask who you are?" Sister Zhao asked warmly.

"Sister Zhao, it's me, Xia Wan! I wanted to ask if any packages have been sent to me in the last few days?" Xia Wan quickly replied.

"Oh, it's Xiao Wan! Yes, yes, not only is there a package, but also a money order! But the package was picked up yesterday. By the way, when are you planning to come and pick up the money order?" Sister Zhao's tone was very warm.

Hearing this, Xia Wan frowned, thinking to herself: I clearly didn't ask anyone to pick up the package for me! So she quickly said, "Sister Zhao, who took my package? I didn't ask anyone to pick it up, and besides, I'm still in Beijing right now!"

"What? Didn't you ask your sister to pick up the package for you?" Sister Zhao was clearly surprised.

Xia Wan frowned, probably figuring out who had taken her package—it was just those two people!

"Sister Zhao, I understand. Please keep that remittance slip and any future packages I receive. I'll pick them up when I get back."
