Chapter 17 Received a Telegram



"Five hundred yuan, and give me some soap tickets, wool tickets, grain tickets, and meat tickets." The only thing Ning Xi could think of was asking for money and tickets.

No matter what era, you can't get anywhere without money.

“Not that many.”

Lin Yongjun now suspected that this girl had never met the factory director and was trying to deceive him.

Is he the kind of person who looks easy to deceive?

"I'm going out for a while."

After he said that, he looked at Ning Xi unkindly, but the other party's stubborn attitude made him very annoyed.

After giving a brief explanation, he pushed his bicycle out and headed straight for the food factory's staff quarters.

"Is Director Zhu at home?"

Lin Yongjun knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered.

"Who are you looking for?"

A neighbor heard the noise and came out. He found that someone was knocking on the factory director's door and quickly reminded him, "Stop knocking. Director Zhu is not at home. I heard that the factory leadership team went out on a business trip early this morning."

Lin Yongjun was delighted and became even more certain that Ning Xi had never met Director Zhu.

She was basically lying to him, luckily he wasn't fooled by her words.

"When will he come back?" It would be best if he doesn't come back for two or three days.

"I heard he'll be back tonight."

"What? So fast!" Lin Yongjun's expectations were dashed and he became panicked again.

I went out this morning. Could it be that I met Ning Xi when I went out?

Damn it, if I had known I wouldn’t have gone out to buy meat in the morning and just stayed at home to watch over that damn girl.

After all, he can get money from his mother at any time.

Lin Yongjun was feeling uneasy. He suspected Ning Xi was lying to him, and at the same time he couldn't help but imagine what would happen if Director Zhu knew what he had done.

"What kind of person is this? He won't even say thank you."

Feeling upset, Lin Yongjun just rode away on his bike, leaving the neighbor looking at the back of his bike and complaining in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you taking my things? Mom, Ning Xi is taking your quilt!"

In the room, Lin Xiaoyue watched in amazement as Ning Xi packed up He Hongjuan's quilt.

This guy is getting bolder and bolder, it's really annoying.

Although it is the end of June and it is very hot during the day, Mingjiang City is in the north and it is still a bit cold at night, so you have to cover yourself with a thin quilt.

When He Hongjuan heard the sound, she ran in hurriedly while picking vegetables at the door and reached out to hit Ning Xi.

"What are you up to, you damned girl? I've given you the cloth coupons, cotton coupons, and money, so can't you just go buy them yourself? Are you here to collect a debt or something?"

When she thought about the bad things that happened in the past two days, He Hongjuan became furious.

He was about to slap her, but then he remembered that Fang Danian would come again tomorrow, so he turned his hand and was about to twist her ear.

Ning Xi would not take a beating obediently, so she picked up the vat beside the bed and smashed it over, splashing water all over He Hongjuan.

"Mom, why did you hit me like that? If other people knew about this, they would think you were upset with someone and were throwing a tantrum at me."

Ning Xi didn't care, rolled up the quilt, tied it with a cloth rope and carried it away.

"By the way, are you really my biological mother?" Ning Xi suddenly asked, staring at He Hongjuan to see her reaction.

"Haha, if you weren't my child, I would have strangled you to death long ago."

He Hongjuan felt a little guilty, but she had a good attitude and didn't show it.

"Why isn't Lin Zhendong's name on the household registration? And wasn't the food only bought for four people? Then whose food has Lin Zhendong been eating for all these years?"

"Have you read so much? If you join the army, all these will be destroyed."

He Hongjuan looked calm and no longer cared about Ning Xi taking the quilt. She hurried out of the room and continued picking vegetables.

Ning Xi didn't believe a word of it.

If that was the case, He Hongjuan didn't bother to explain it to her.

It would be abnormal if it were explained. Besides, He Hongjuan ran away without changing her wet clothes. Isn't that because she was guilty?

Without a household registration, there is no food supply. Then, hasn’t Lin Zhendong been eating the original owner’s food for all these years?

After all, she was the only one who never had enough to eat.

"Where have you been?" He Hongjuan had just sat down on the small bench at the door when she saw Lin Yongjun rushing into the yard.

Lin Yongjun ignored her, "Where's Ning Xi?"

"What's going on? You're already so angry right after coming back."

He Hongjuan expressed her concern but she didn't even move her butt. She continued to pick the leeks in her hand, preparing to make some leek dumplings for dinner.

Lin Yongjun quickly entered the house and saw Ning Xi carrying a quilt:

"How dare you, little girl, lie to me? I just asked, and Director Zhu went on a business trip yesterday and won't be back until the day after tomorrow. How dare you play tricks on me with your mediocre skills?"

Ning Xi knew Lin Yongjun was trying to trick her as soon as she heard it, and rolled her eyes in disdain:

"Uncle Lin, I ran into Director Zhu when I went out last time. He said he had told you about the work last week and that if you have any difficulties, you can go to the factory to find him tomorrow.

I thought we'd lived together for so long, but I didn't expose you right away. Why are you still trying to coax me?"

When what she said matched the facts, Lin Yongjun was sure that she was not lying.

I didn't expect this girl to be so lucky that she ran into Director Zhu when she went out.

He had no doubt about how Ning Xi knew Director Zhu, because Director Zhu paid Ning Xi's tuition every year.

Otherwise he would have stopped the girl from going to school long ago.

The tuition alone is three dollars for one semester, and I have to pay two dollars for miscellaneous fees!

"Should I go see Director Zhu tomorrow? I heard my dad used to have a good relationship with him. He should be able to make the decision for me, right? Even if I don't have time, I can write a letter and have someone bring it to him!"

Lin Yongjun's eyes bulged out as he stared at Ning Xi, which scared Lin Xiaoyue who was about to come out and made her retreat back into the room.
