When Shen Heng returned from the hospital, he saw Bai Jiaojiao and Wang Fushun sorting through the small notes at home. He reached out, picked one up, and read the contents. He said, "You really shouldn't mess with anyone. You've ruined their reputation."
These days, everyone who can answer the phone at home is someone of standing or status. If someone calls your home every day asking if you want a child, what's the difference between that and being a scoundrel? If a man answers, he might get angry and curse a couple of times, but if it happens to be the woman of the house who answers, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Are you subtly insulting me?
"I like you so much I don't even have time to say it." With Bai Jiaojiao's cleverness, Shen Heng couldn't wait to hug her and give her a big kiss right now.
"Ahem." Wang Fushun indicated that he was still there, and asked why he was saying such things in front of the children.
"Go play with Bai Doudou, I'm going to talk to your sister-in-law for a bit."
Wang Fushun: "..."
"Alright, stop teasing him. I've already prepared the food, just waiting for you to come back so we can eat. Hurry up and eat."
Wang Fushun added, "Yes, after we finish eating, I still need to help my sister-in-law put these up."
"Do we still have any glue at home? Should I make some paste?" Shen Heng asked, considering.
"We have enough glue."
Bai Jiaojiao could certainly handle such a small matter perfectly.
After a hearty meal, Wang Fushun stroked the dog's fur a couple of times. Seeing that Bai Doudou was female, he said, "Brother Heng, when your dog has puppies, can you save one for me?"
We'll talk about it later.
Shen Heng thought to himself that his Dou Dou was still a little girl, so how did the conversation turn to having a baby?
“Okay,” Wang Fushun didn’t understand Shen Heng’s meaning and took it as a yes. “Then I’m leaving.”
Before parting, Shen Heng instructed, "Make sure to stick them over a wide area, don't waste all the paper your sister-in-law printed." His daughter's wrists must be aching from printing so many.
Wang Fushun said, "Just you wait and see, don't you trust me to handle things?"
Wang Fushun was indeed a reliable person when it came to handling such matters. Shen Heng saw him to the door, and the two said goodbye.
Wang Fushun was repaying a debt of gratitude, and this was a task he was determined to do well, no matter how much effort it took. He strolled back from Shen Heng's house to his guesthouse, posting posters all the way. After picking up his luggage at the guesthouse, he drew a circle with the guesthouse as the center, first heading east, then north, then west. The circle got bigger and bigger as he went. Wang Fushun finally posted the last poster at the train station, where there were many people coming and going, and even more people saw it.
After he finished pasting the seal, he lined up to board the train. Once the train departed, even if there was a huge commotion here, no one could find him. The wooden seal that Bai Jiaojiao had carved had long been thrown into the furnace and turned into ashes. Mixed with other coal ash, it was completely gone.
Bai Jiaojiao's life went on as usual, but Tan Zidong's family was in complete chaos.
Wang Fushun's small advertisements were too audacious and eye-catching in this day and age. The requirements were low, but the returns were high, making many people eager to try.
People are not aware of fraud prevention yet, so this kind of information is like a windfall. Anyone with a bit of sense will make this call. The cost of asking around is only a penny. If it suits their needs, they will make a fortune.
Mr. Tan had just finished lunch at home and was about to take a nap when the phone rang.
Because of his job, he often receives a lot of phone calls at home, usually from people looking for him, and he answers them as usual.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Why is it a man?" came a puzzled voice from the other end of the line.
This sounded strange, and Mr. Tan frowned: "What do you want?"
"Does anyone in your family want a child? I'd like to ask if there are any other requirements besides good health? How much exactly is this hefty sum?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Tan's face turned red with anger, and he roared, "Shameless!" before slamming down the phone.
"Liu Congli, come out here!"
Mr. Tan was furious and called Liu Congli, who was clearing the dishes in the kitchen, out of the kitchen.
Liu Congli was his second wife, and she was ten years younger than him. When Tan's father heard the contents of the phone call, he couldn't help but think that it was Liu Congli who was restless.
"What's wrong, Lao Tan?"
"What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong? Have you no shame? You're flirting with men outside! They've even called our house!"
Tan's father had an even more terrifying idea: Liu Congli probably thought he was impotent and wanted to not only cuckold him but also give birth to his illegitimate child to take a share of his family property!
"Old Tan, what are you saying? You're really accusing me!" Although Liu Congli thought Tan's father was too old and weak to lift up, she just wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life. She didn't have the guts to seduce a man.
Tan Zidong never liked his stepmother, and sneered from the side, "Dad, I told you she wasn't a good girl. You used to always scold me for it."
"Zidong, how could you say that about me!" Liu Congli was truly wronged.
Before Mr. Tan could say anything more, the phone rang again.
Mr. Tan pointed at Liu Congli twice angrily, signaling her to wait, and that he would deal with her later.
He answered the phone and heard the person on the other end ask impatiently, "You're looking for a son for a lot of money, right? I meet all your requirements. What's your address? I can come over right now!"
"Are you crazy?!" Mr. Tan cursed and slammed down the phone.
"Old Tan, what's wrong?" Seeing Tan's father so furious, Liu Congli, who had nothing to hide, was determined to dispel his doubts as soon as possible, so she asked with concern.
Just as Mr. Tan was about to speak, the phone rang again.
"You answer it yourself!"
Liu Congli picked up the phone: "Hello?"
The man on the other end of the line was thrilled to hear a woman answer the phone: "Are you the one who offered a large sum of money to have a child? I'm calling, what do you want to discuss in detail?"
Liu Congli was so frightened that she quickly hung up the phone, her face turning bright red with embarrassment. After a long while, she stammered, "Old...Old Tan, this...this has nothing to do with me!"
From the very first call, the calls came in like snowflakes, one after another.
Tan Zidong refused to believe it and wanted to know what kind of phone call had caused his father and stepmother to react this way. He listened to it himself and heard the content, which was much harsher than what his father had said.
Tan's father wasn't stupid either; he knew that things had come to this point, and he was probably being framed.
If it really is Liu Congli, she must have a death wish to dare to solicit men outside the home and even let them call her home so brazenly.
Mr. Tan didn't even consider Tan Zidong's involvement; he was just thinking about whether he had offended anyone at work these past few days. The phone kept ringing at home, and Mr. Tan felt like his head was about to explode.
"Dad, let's unplug the phone line, it's so noisy." Tan Zidong couldn't stand it anymore and was about to unplug the phone line when his father scolded him.
"No, I'm still waiting for their reply!"
