Xia Wan had only casually mentioned it, but she never expected her godmother on the other end of the phone to have such a strong reaction.
A furious shout came from the other end of the phone: "What? She actually went to Harbin to be a sent-down youth? That brat has really ruined our lives! If it weren't for our kind colleagues at the factory testifying for us, your godfather and I would probably have been fired from the factory!"
Sun Hui was extremely agitated on the other end of the phone, her voice almost roaring. Xia Wan, on the other end, was completely confused and at a loss, but she quickly came to her senses and realized that this matter must be closely related to the money Qiao Qiao was carrying.
So Xia Wan quickly tried to soothe her, saying, "Godmother, please calm down and tell me slowly. What exactly did Qiao Qiao do?"
At this moment, Xia Wan was filled with worry, but even more so with an irrepressible curiosity. She really wanted to know what Qiao Qiao had done to anger her godmother so much.
After she left, did Qiao Qiao go to her godmother to borrow money? But how did that involve the factory?
Then, Sun Hui calmed herself down a bit and began to tell Xia Wan the whole story: "Sigh, in the end it was my fault! After she was released from prison, I saw that she was all alone and pitiful. I softened and invited her to our house for a meal."
Before leaving, I gave her twenty yuan, hoping she could use the money to settle down and make a good living.
Who would have thought that this ungrateful girl would dare to cheat someone out of their betrothal money!
She had clearly agreed to marry that family at first, but what happened? After accepting the betrothal gifts and various presents, she vanished without a trace without saying a word!
Xia Wan was shocked. How could Qiao Qiao be so daring? "Are they looking for her over there? How powerful are the people she scammed? Has it already affected my godmother and godfather's jobs?"
Judging from Qiao Qiao's extravagant spending habits, she must have swindled a considerable sum of money.
The other party must not be an ordinary person to be able to give Qiao Qiao so much money. After all, there are few rich people these days, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge!
At this moment, Sun Hui's deep sigh came from the other end of the phone: "Oh dear, that's really something! Qiao Qiao and Zhao Jiaojiao have each swindled a family. What's worse, for some reason, those who were swindled heard that Qiao Qiao is my goddaughter, and they all came to our door demanding an explanation..."
If it weren't for the fact that their families were related to the factory manager's family, the factory would probably have kicked them out by now due to pressure from all sides!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone came forward to testify, saying that Qiao Qiao had just been found by Qiao Chunsheng and had no connection with them.
Moreover, that family were reasonable and sensible people.
Thanks to the factory director's mediation and guarantee, the incident was barely quelled and did not escalate into a major disturbance.
Even so, the two families who had been scammed never gave up searching for Qiao Qiao and Zhao Jiaojiao. However, to everyone's surprise, after swindling a huge sum of money, the two girls didn't choose to stay in the city to find a way out; instead, they went to the countryside.
No wonder they searched almost the entire city of Suzhou but couldn't find him!
After Xia Wan asked about all the details with great suspicion, she suddenly realized what earth-shattering thing Qiao Qiao and the other two had done.
Even after hanging up the phone, Xia Wan still found it hard to believe, thinking to herself: Could this marriage fraud scheme have already existed at this time? This is simply too unbelievable!
Recalling the shocking inside stories she had just heard, Xia Wan couldn't help but exclaim, "These two people are incredibly audacious!"
Xia Wan's godmother just told her on the phone that she is going to inform the two families about this.
According to her godmother, in a few days, those two families might come aggressively to arrest them. Thinking about the expression Qiao Qiao might make then, Xia Wan couldn't help but chuckle; bad deeds always come with consequences.
As soon as Xia Wan hung up the phone, Sister Zhao couldn't help but say, "Girl, that phone call lasted twelve minutes!"
Zhao Jie looked surprised, clicking her tongue and shaking her head, clearly taken aback by Xia Wan's long conversation.
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan looked a little embarrassed and explained with a slightly apologetic smile, "Oh dear, Sister Zhao, please don't laugh at me. It's just that I haven't had a proper chat with my godmother in so long, so I accidentally talked for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhao burst into hearty laughter, waved her hand, and said, "Hey, what's this! As long as you can afford the phone bill, you can talk for as long as you want! We've seen all kinds of people working here. We've had many phone calls that lasted much longer than ten minutes!"
She had always mistakenly assumed that the girl came from a poor family, but when she saw the girl spending so much money on phone calls today, she suddenly realized that her previous assumptions were completely wrong.
So, someone willing to spend so much money on phone calls must be from a poor family. It seems she was being too one-sided in her thinking, leading to a flawed judgment.
At this moment, Sister Zhao suddenly remembered something: she hadn't yet told Xia Wan about the details of the old lady's phone call a few days ago.
So, she glanced quickly at the people patiently waiting behind Xia Wan, then turned to Xia Wan and said, "Hey girl, why don't you come into this pavilion and wait for me for a while? After all, there are still several people waiting in line. I'll come back and have a good chat with you after I finish what I'm doing."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan's face lit up with a bright and cheerful smile. Without any hesitation, she obediently replied, "Okay, sister, you go ahead and do your work. Work is the most important thing!"
That said, working at the post office is quite unstable. When things are quiet, it's very relaxing, and you can do your own thing. But when things get busy, it's chaotic and overwhelming.
Just now, as summer evening approached, Sister Zhao had time to sit there leisurely knitting a sweater, but in the blink of an eye, just because a few customers came to mail packages, the whole situation instantly became tense and busy.
