Chapter 61 The Mysterious Person Answering the Phone
"It is a very important matter. It must be an important matter." He Ergou quickly said with a smile.
Seeing that it was almost time for the Jiang family to have dinner, Li Yiyi interrupted him impatiently and asked loudly, "Hurry up and tell me, I really don't feel like staying here with you."
He Ergou quickly stopped smiling and began to speak with a serious look on his dirty face, "In addition to asking me if I wanted to join the reselling business, Yang Tao also asked me a strange thing. She asked me where the waste collection station in the city was. I secretly asked her later, and she said she was looking for a book. When I continued to ask, she was very cunning and refused to tell me."
Li Yiyi had a bit of impatience on her face, but now after hearing what he said, her expression immediately changed to seriousness, "Did she tell you what the book looked like?"
"She refused to say anything. This bitch is keeping her mouth shut. She must be on guard against me."
Li Yiyi was silent for a while, then suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes and put it in his hand. "Take this, it's your report fee for today. Also, I have another task. If you complete it, I can cover your cigarettes for the next six months."
When He Ergou heard that she could pay for his cigarettes for half a year, his face lit up with joy. He didn't have any hobbies except smoking.
"You tell me, and I will definitely help you complete it." He quickly agreed with a happy look on his face.
"It's very simple. Just help me find out what kind of book Yang Tao is looking for. You just need to make this clear to me." She whispered to him.
After listening to this, He Ergou thought about it for a while, and immediately patted his chest with confidence and promised, "No problem, I will definitely help you do this beautifully."
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news on this matter."
The next day, not long after breakfast, Li Yiyi rode her bicycle out of Lijia Village.
Halfway through the journey, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or just a narrow road for enemies, but I actually ran into Liu Hehua and her daughter who were also going to the city that day.
Li Yiyi had no good feelings towards the mother and daughter, so she planned to ride over directly. However, someone rushed out from the roadside as if he was not afraid of death and blocked her way.
Li Yiyi was startled and quickly slammed the brakes to stabilize the bicycle and herself. She immediately angrily cursed at Liu Hehua who suddenly rushed out, "You don't want to live anymore, right? Who told you to rush out so suddenly?"
Liu Hehua was actually also frightened just now. She just wanted Li Yiyi to stop her bicycle and let the mother and daughter take turns riding her bicycle to go to the city.
"It was not an accident. I just wanted to ask you to let my daughter and I ride on your bike. We are also going to the city. We are going the same way and we are from the same village. You wouldn't be so cruel as to not take us, right?" She said with a flattering smile.
Li Yiyi glanced at the mother and daughter, and when she looked at Yang Tao, she just left her back.
"I am such a cruel person." She replied with a sneer.
The smile on Liu Hehua's face froze, and she immediately became anxious, pointing at her and scolding, "Hey, woman, why are you like this? What's wrong with asking you to pick me up?"
"Get out of the way. If you keep blocking my way, be careful. Bicycles don't have eyes and may crush you to death." She was not so kind-hearted when dealing with the mother and daughter.
“You, you, you….”
While she was unable to finish saying the word "you", Li Yiyi immediately pushed her aside, got on her bike and left.
When Liu Hehua realized that the person was about to run away, she wanted to chase after him, but a person's legs were no faster than a bicycle. After a while, both the person and the bicycle were thrown far away.
Liu Hehua looked at the person and the bicycle getting farther and farther away. She was so angry that she hit her thigh with her hand and cursed at the same time, "This shameless man, riding so fast, isn't he afraid of falling to death?"
At this point, Liu Hehua thought about how she had tried so hard to beg others, but her daughter didn't say a word and didn't even help. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her daughter on the back, "You stupid girl, why don't you help me? If you had helped me, how could I let her ride away from us?"
Yang Tao touched his back and turned around. "It's just a bicycle, what's so great about it?"
"It's just a bicycle, what's so great about it? You're so easy to say, it's really great, a bicycle, it's so expensive, who in our village has one?"
At this point, she immediately started to talk with a look of regret, "I regret it. I shouldn't have stopped you from going on a blind date with Jiang Hong. If you had married Jiang Hong, wouldn't you be the one receiving his salary every month? Why would it be the turn of such a shameless person like Li Yiyi?"
Yang Tao's face immediately turned sour, and she interrupted her mother in a bad mood, "Mom, that's enough, there's no point in you talking about this now. I don't want to hear it anymore. Let's go quickly." After saying that, she didn't even look at Liu Hehua's embarrassed face behind her, and hurried towards the city at a quick pace.
On the other side, Li Yiyi, who was about to arrive in the city, had no idea what happened to the mother and daughter.
At this time, she first came to the post office here, ready to make a phone call to Jiang Hong who was far away in Xinjiang Province. In the past, she would receive a letter from him every half a month, but now it has been a month since the last time she received a letter from him, and there is no letter at all. If she doesn't call to check on his situation, she will always feel uneasy.
After talking to the people at the post office, Li Yiyi walked in and was shocked to see a telephone placed there. The telephone used at this time was completely different from the ones she had used before.
Because the numbers were not pressed but shaken, after looking at it for a while, she really didn't know how to use it, so she had to find the staff here to shake the phone number for her. Not long after, she heard a beep from the other end of the phone.
Not long after the call started, someone picked up the phone. Li Yiyi heard an unfamiliar voice on the other end, so she politely told the other party the name of the person she was looking for.
"Excuse me, are you Comrade Li Yiyi?"
Li Yiyi originally thought that the other party was going to call someone or something, but she didn't expect that after hearing what she said, the other party immediately called out her name.
If she didn't know that both her original body and she were law-abiding people, she would have thought that the other party was coming to arrest her.
"Yes, I'm Li Yiyi." She suppressed the nervousness in her heart, swallowed her saliva and answered.
