Those who are older are arranged to get married and do not work.

It's not easy to find someone who's just right and nearby.

Just as she was worrying, the telephone installer arrived.

"Are you Miss Lin? Are you the one who wants to install the phone?"

"Yes, it's me. Master, I'm sorry for the trouble."

"No problem, where should I install it?"

This book was first published on Taiwan Fiction Network → 𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆, providing you with a reading experience with correct chapters and no disordered chapters.

"Upstairs, follow me up."

This is what Lin Yuyao had applied for a long time ago.

At this time, installing a telephone is not something you can do as you say. You still have to write an application, get approval, and it is very expensive.

After approval and payment, an appointment can be made for installation.

After waiting for many days, the installer finally arrived.

There is a telephone installed by Fu Leyi downstairs, so the outside wires are all pre-connected and you just need to connect them.

The installation went smoothly and took only a short while.

"Ms. Lin, please give it a try. If there is no problem, please sign the form."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Lin Yuyao called downstairs and Zhou Jing answered the phone.

"Sister Zhou, it's me."

Zhou Jing: "Wow, it's ready so quickly?"

"Yeah, I think the sound quality is okay, right?"

"Okay, okay, now you have your own phone."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm just trying to see if I can get through. Sister Zhou, I'm hanging up now."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuyao asked the master who installed the phone to sign so that he could take the note back to report.

Sitting in the chair, looking at the phone, she called her hometown again.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the phone rang.

Lin Yuyao didn't answer the call, she just hung up and called again.

It's so expensive for her parents to call her. This phone is hers, so it will be cheaper for her to call back.

"Yuyao, why are you calling me at this time? What's the matter?"

Ye Lian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's nothing, Mom. I installed a phone. Please write down the number. Next time you call me, call here."

"Huh? Your phone number?"

"Yes."

"Is this expensive? Why did you install a phone?"

"It's not expensive. I need it for work. I have to have a phone."

She said that if work required them to do so, they would not speak, and work was the most important thing.

However, Lin Yuyao did not tell Ye Lian about opening her own studio. First of all, starting a business is risky and no one can guarantee that they will be 100% successful.

Secondly, Ye Lian and her friends were still very conservative. When they heard about her starting a business, they couldn't help but worry that she would fail and go bankrupt.

They don't understand, and worrying about it at home will only affect their health.

Lin Yuyao chatted with her for a while and then asked about her elder brother and sister-in-law.

My eldest brother works in the city. He comes back for one day on the weekend and goes out again early on Monday morning.

My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant. She has been vomiting so much that she has lost a lot of weight and is now staying at home to take care of the baby.

Speaking of Chen Xia, Ye Lian became worried again.

"This little thing is really annoying your sister-in-law. I will definitely beat him up when the baby is born. Your sister-in-law was skinny to begin with, and now she's just skin and bones."

Lin Yuyao said, "It's been several months, and you're still vomiting?"

"Yes, some serious cases can cause vomiting and death."

Tsk tsk, it’s painful just to listen to it.

How can I bear this?

"Mom, please take her to the hospital. This is not a solution. The baby will be born and grow up to be a mess, and the child will suffer."

"Yes, yes. Well, okay, I'll take her to see it tomorrow."

After talking about her eldest sister-in-law, Ye Lian said, "By the way, do you still remember Ye Xiaotong? She was from the same village as your grandmother, and she was your classmate."

Yes, of course she does.

"I remember, what's wrong?"

"She was nearly beaten to death by her in-laws, and the baby was aborted. I ran into her when I took your sister-in-law to the hospital a few days ago, and I talked to her for a few words. Tsk, tsk, I remember she was one year younger than you. She used to be such a pretty girl, but now she's only 20 years old, and her hair has turned white from all the torture."

She was not exaggerating at all; this happened to her in her previous life.

Ye Xiaotong got married last year, but she was not old enough to get a marriage certificate.

That family was extremely poor and vicious. The father-in-law beat and kicked his daughter-in-law and even aborted the child.

Later she ran away and went to work in another place. They didn't know where she went.

Anyway, never went back.

Lin Yuyao knew about it because before she ran away, she went to Lu's house to find her and talked to her a lot. In the end, she said she was going to Guangzhou to work and never came back.

Five years later, she received her letter, in which she said that she had asked someone in Guangzhou to get a new ID card for her, which meant that Ye Xiaotong had died a long time ago.

She suffered a lot during those five years, but luckily she finally got through it, so I wrote to her.

Now it happens again.

"What did she say?"

"She asked me where you were, and I felt sorry for her, so I told her your address. Yuyao, look at this...Isn't mother doing anything wrong?"

"No, it's fine."

"Ah? She asked in great detail. I'm worried that she'll come looking for you. That man's family isn't good people. I'm worried that she'll cause you trouble."

"So when she asked you for my address, did you tell anyone else?"

"Not really."

"That's fine. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know she'll come to see me."

If this is the case, Ye Xiaotong will probably never go to Guangzhou in her life.

She suffered a lot in Guangzhou and it took her five years to find herself again and have a new identity.

If she came to find me in this life, maybe she would suffer less.

fine.

As for what Ye Lian was worried about, would that family cause trouble for her?

That's overthinking.

Trouble is coming to this family soon.

A few days after Ye Xiaotong disappeared, the family was furious and ran to Ye Xiaotong's parents' home to ask for her. They thought that Ye Xiaotong's parents had hidden her.

When Ye Xiaotong's family found out she was missing, they suspected she was murdered by her husband's family.

After all, they were able to beat Ye Xiaotong's child to death, so it was normal for them to accidentally kill someone.

So her parents reported the case to the police.

Ye Xiaotong got away in a black car. In those days, technology was limited, so if someone got away in a black car, the investigators couldn't find any clues.

Ye Xiaotong's parents insisted that the man was beaten to death by her husband's family and that no one knew where the body was hidden.

Her parents cried every day, and the higher-ups decided to open a case for investigation.

After visiting relatives, neighbors, and hospital staff, investigators confirmed that what Ye Xiaotong's parents said was true.

This family really treated her very badly, beating and scolding her, and even killing her child.

After listening to the descriptions of relatives and neighbors, they thought that maybe it was true that someone was killed accidentally and the body was hidden, otherwise how could they not find the person?

So the whole family was arrested.

Although Ye Xiaotong's body was never found in the end and her family was released without charge, they suffered a lot while being investigated and detained as suspects.

In an era when the system was not perfect, people naturally used some tricks when interrogating them. Their whole family was tortured in there, and when they came out, everyone was ten years older.
