"No way." Meng Shuyun refused without even thinking. "It was so hard to get the surgery scheduled. If I don't make it in time, who knows how long it will have to be postponed."
Su Xiangnan seemed to have only come to inform them, giving a faint "hmm" and saying, "Alright, you take Gu Xue back, I'll go back myself tomorrow."
Meng Shuyun was so angry that she stood up abruptly. So this was just to inform her!
"If you miss the surgery, will you still want your leg?"
Su Xiangnan simply grunted in response and turned to go back to his room, leaving Meng Shuyun alone, fuming like a pufferfish, stomping her feet in anger.
She was puzzled; what exactly did Su Xiangnan mean by this?
That single "hmm" almost made her furious!
That evening, Meng Shuyun secretly followed Su Xiangnan.
To her utter surprise, Su Xiangnan went to the bank first, and then went to a factory.
Upon closer inspection, this place was the very factory where the blockade had occurred and the workers had called for a strike!
Meng Shuyun was shocked. What was he doing here?
When Su Xiangnan came out, Meng Shuyun immediately stepped forward and questioned him: "Why are you here so late at night? What are you doing here?"
Su Xiangnan wasn't surprised to see her at all. Instead, he took out a cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Meng Shuyun.
Meng Shuyun's eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at it from left to right and made sure it really was a cell phone!
Moreover, it was a phone from a brand she had never seen before.
"Where did this come from? Was it for me?" Meng Shuyun asked, while reaching out to touch it again and again, clearly fond of it.
She pressed the power button, and the small screen lit up, displaying a hand-in-hand logo.
"That's great, having a mobile phone is so convenient."
Meng Shuyun said happily, and then, taking advantage of the situation, said, "Are there any more? Bring me two more."
She thought to herself, "This is such a wonderful thing, I wish all my daughters could have one, so we could call each other every day."
But when Su Xiangnan heard this, his face immediately darkened...
Meng Shuyun opened her phone, scrolled through it a couple of times, and said with some dissatisfaction, "This isn't right either!"
The buttons are all illogical; the design here is so awkward...
And this telephone symbol, it should be like this...
And this speaker is completely useless!
I knew something felt off.
After she finished speaking, Meng Shuyun suddenly felt an eerie silence around her.
She subconsciously looked around and noticed two bald young men wearing glasses standing to the side, engrossed in writing in small notebooks.
Meng Shuyun looked puzzled and was filled with astonishment.
She looked at Su Xiangnan and thought to herself, "Good heavens, so this is where he was waiting for me!"
She said a few more words and roughly understood what was going on.
So she poured out all her thoughts about cell phones from her memory.
The two bald young men's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Meng Shuyun even felt that the tops of their heads were glowing!
Meng Shuyun pushed Su Xiangnan back, muttering curses incessantly: "You came here just to scam your mother."
Couldn't you have told me beforehand?
I thought you were up all night doing something to upset Xue'er!
Do you not have a mouth?
They didn't even say a word!
...
At the port city dock, Su Xiangyang was so thin he looked like a sugarcane, and he smelled sour. He tightly hugged his only possessions—two tattered clothes—and huddled behind a large rock.
He was filled with remorse for trusting others and being tricked into coming here to work in a shady factory, tightening screws for fourteen hours a day and night, eating only one meal in between, until his hands were raw from tightening screws.
If it weren't for his good looks, which bewitched the factory girl and allowed her to escape that cannibalistic place, he would have suffered even more.
We had originally planned to smuggle ourselves back to China with the factory girl.
The factory girl's name was Deng Jiaqi. She was chubby with a round face and weighed 160 pounds. Usually, people didn't want to talk to her.
Thanks to Deng Jiaqi, Su Xiangyang didn't suffer too much and was able to eat two meals a day.
At this moment, Su Xiangyang secretly prayed that Fatty would not come. He planned to sneak across the border alone and then return on his own.
With what he considered his own intelligence, he went back to his father, found a job honestly, and vowed never to come south again.
This way, I can also get rid of the chubby girl, killing two birds with one stone.
They agreed to meet at the big rock on the right, but Su Xiangyang deliberately went to the left to avoid Deng Jiaqi.
But the next second, to his utter surprise, Deng Jiaqi's round face suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Oh my god, you scared me to death! How did you find me?" Su Xiangyang was so frightened that his face turned pale and his voice trembled.
Deng Jiaqi didn't notice Su Xiangyang's guilty conscience at all, and thought he was just too nervous.
She smiled and pointed to the suitcase behind her, saying, "I was a little late because I was packing. Are you angry?"
Su Xiangyang's face instantly turned green. Not daring to be angry, he quickly said, "No, isn't it too conspicuous to have such a big suitcase?"
Deng Jiaqi casually pulled Su Xiangyang toward the ship, saying, "No, I've arranged everything. Let's go, or we'll miss it."
Su Xiangyang was extremely unwilling, but his strength was no match for Deng Jiaqi's.
He was powerless against her, with no room for resistance, and could only endure it.
After finally reaching the cargo ship, they saw a small boat quietly moored on the river. It was obvious that it was used for smuggling and naturally dared not show itself openly.
Su Xiangyang was determined to go back, so he gritted his teeth and boarded the ship.
When the boat was halfway through its journey, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of another small boat suddenly approaching from the side.
The small boat was covered with a black cloth, making it completely dark and impossible to see what was inside.
Su Xiangyang was never one to meddle in other people's business, and he thought it best to take care of himself first.
But who could have imagined that the next little boat would capsize without warning!
The two men who were standing on the boat suddenly fell into the water. They were good swimmers and struggled to swim to the shore.
Su Xiangyang had excellent eyesight. Upon closer inspection, he realized that there was a group of children on the boat!
The children were all very young, and after being frightened, they struggled desperately in the water, looking extremely pitiful.
In the darkness, Su Xiangyang suddenly saw two familiar faces!
Those were none other than Su Xiumei's two daughters, Xiaoli and Xiaojuan.
He had seen these two children before when he and his older brother went to ask for money. They were thin and small, but their eyes were exceptionally bright.
Without a second thought, Su Xiangyang plunged into the water and swam toward Xiaoli and Xiaojuan.
