Chapter 187 Booking a Flight
Zhou Ying also realized that she had spoken out of turn and felt a little embarrassed.
She said in a low voice, "I just want to know what kind of person she is. If she is really that crazy, I'd better not fight her. I'm afraid I can't beat her."
It is indeed difficult for a weak little white flower to defeat Wang Mei, who is used to doing farm work.
Mrs. Qiu patted her hands and said, "It's better not to clash with her. Although we are not afraid of trouble, Wang Mei's temper is also..."
Everyone present felt the same way and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After everyone had dispersed, Mrs. Qiu called Su Wan again.
"Xiao Su, I didn't think things through with Xiao Fang before. I know you'll think we're spineless, but after being married and having children for so many years, it's hard for two people to get divorced. Those were our thoughts and have nothing to do with Xiao Fang. I hope you don't hold a grudge against her because of this."
Seeing Wei Ping's selfishness, Mrs. Qiu didn't want to cut off Mrs. Wei's retreat.
She knew that Mrs. Wei was helping sell clothes in Su Wan's store and had a decent salary, so she hoped she could earn more money so that she wouldn't have to depend on Wei Ping's mood to make a living.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Wei treats me well, and I treat her well too. There will be no estrangement between us because of the incident with Captain Wei."
"That's good!"
Mrs. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm just worried that what I did would affect her. That would be really embarrassing."
Knowing that she had no bad intentions, Su Wan didn't say anything unpleasant.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Su Wan went to the car to get the clothes she had left there yesterday. She cooked something to eat and curled up on the sofa to watch TV.
There were few TV stations in the 1980s, and the TV stations at that time were broadcasting the classic 1980s TV series "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
If she were in the 21st century, she would definitely not watch it, but in the 1980s, she watched it with great interest. Even though the picture quality of the TV series was not as high-definition as in later generations, it was still a good way to kill time when she was bored.
I was just watching TV for a while when the phone rang.
She picked up the phone and heard Xiao Chengyi's voice.
"Sister, I'm Xu Chengyi."
The purring sound made Su Wan want to rub his cheek along the phone line, and her tone unconsciously became a little gentler.
"It's Xiao Chengyi, are you missing your sister?"
"Yeah." Xiao Chengyi's voice sounded a little shy on the other end of the phone, but he still admitted it generously.
"Is Xiao Chengyi at home now?" Su Wan asked again.
"I have to go to kindergarten. I don't want to go to school. I want to go find my sister."
His voice was so pitiful that Su Wan couldn't help but feel distressed.
I could only comfort her, "Little Chengyi, be good. I'll be going to the capital soon. I'll come find you after I get there, okay?"
Little Chengyi said softly, "When will sister come? I'll wait for her at home then."
"I'm not sure either. I don't have time right now, but don't worry, it should be in a few days."
"How many days will it be in a few days?" Xiao Chengyi asked again.
"Well... I'll go after my sister buys the plane ticket."
There was an "oh" from the other end of the phone, but soon, Xiao Chengyi realized something.
He quickly said, "Sister, I'll ask my uncle to buy you a plane ticket. Can I buy a ticket for today?"
Before Su Wan could say anything, she heard Xiao Chengyi yelling at the top of his lungs, "Uncle... Uncle..."
After waiting for a while, I heard Xu Ruichen's voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I'm Seo Ruichen."
Before Su Wan could even open her mouth, little Chengyi excitedly called out, "Uncle, buy me a plane ticket. I'm coming to Beijing to see me."
"Is that Wanwan?" Xu Ruichen's voice came quickly. When he heard Su Wan hum, he laughed out loud, "Was it Chengyi who called you? I told him your number. He didn't bother you, did he?"
"No, I happen to be going to the capital in two days, so I'll go see him then."
"Do you want to buy a plane ticket?" Xu Ruichen asked.
Su Wan didn't want to trouble him at first, but since he asked, she admitted it.
"Yes, I heard that buying a plane ticket is a bit troublesome, so I went back to the army and planned to find someone to help me buy a ticket."
Xu Ruichen was flipping through something on the other end of the phone, and all he could hear was the rustling sound of papers.
Then I heard him ask, "Are you leaving from Yangcheng Airport?"
"Yes, I'm leaving from Yangcheng Airport."
"I'll say hello there. You can come over anytime to buy a ticket. Just give them your letter of introduction when you get there."
Xu Ruichen continued, "You'll probably need this in the future. I'll contact the airlines later so it'll be easier for you to buy tickets."
"Thank you, Brother Xu!"
Before Xu Ruichen's voice could be heard from the other end of the phone, Xiao Chengyi's voice had already appeared on the phone, "Sister, you must come quickly, I'll wait for you!"
Su Wan smiled, her eyes curved. "Don't worry, I'll buy a plane ticket and come to see you."
Originally, he planned to talk to Lin Wu about the plane ticket, and Xu Ruichen helped him. Su Wan didn't think too much about it. He chatted with Xiao Chengyi for a few more minutes before he reluctantly hung up the phone.
She had originally planned to stay in the army for one more night, so she packed up her things and drove away from the army.
When the car left the compound, Mrs. Qiu and a few others happened to come from that side and saw her car driving away from a distance.
Mrs. Zhao said with great envy: "Xiao Su's car is so beautiful. I really envy her that she can drive anywhere now."
"That's right. She's the only one in our compound who's so courageous. She ventured out to become a self-employed person so early on. In just two years, her quality of life has noticeably improved. I really envy her."
Mrs. Qiu also spoke with envy on her face.
"Not having children means freedom. I see she's really happy now and I'm really envious. You know, our lives have been really..."
"Everyone's pursuits and choices are different. Even if we were her age, we wouldn't have her courage, and we would never be able to be her in this lifetime."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao also sighed.
Mrs. Wu smiled, but it was rare for her to speak: "It's really cool for a woman to live like Xiao Su. Her husband is ambitious and studious, and she doesn't rely on men to make a fortune by being a self-employed person. If I were in her position, I wouldn't be able to do that."
Everyone thinks so too. After all, everyone knows that they can't bring themselves to do those things, so that's what others deserve.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao also sighed.
Indeed, who can endure such hardship?
Everyone says it's easy, but there are really not many people like Su Wan who would set up a stall regardless of wind or rain. Everyone in the compound only needs to take care of the children and cook. Who would be willing to do hard labor outside?
