When Zhao Qinglan and her family moved out, they naturally took the telephone that was originally installed in their house with them.
Although a phone call isn't too expensive, it's something they bought with their own money, so of course they want to take it with them.
Sui Wenjing called, but couldn't reach Zhao Qinglan. At first, she wasn't worried, but now she's starting to worry that something might have happened to Zhao Qinglan's family.
Fortunately, after her husband contacted Sun Shengli, her old comrade-in-arms, she finally learned about Zhao Qinglan and her family's situation.
However, by the time Wu Mei wanted to inform Zhao Qinglan, Zhao Qinglan had already returned to the provincial capital.
In the provincial capital, their new home doesn't even have a telephone.
So it's really impossible to notify them in a short time.
After Wu Mei met Da Wa, who had come for lunch, she told him that someone was looking for Zhao Qinglan and asked him to pass on the message.
Da Wa did know how to contact his parents. Before leaving after Zhao Qinglan's one-day stay, she gave her son the phone number of her husband's new office.
If there's anything urgent, let your son make this call.
Zhao Qinglan hadn't thought that far ahead and hadn't left her phone number with Wu Mei and the others. Wu Mei and the others only knew the phone number for the provincial military region's headquarters, but they felt it wasn't appropriate to call the headquarters for something that wasn't particularly urgent.
So, I had my eldest son pass on the message.
Fortunately, the eldest child quickly found a phone and called his father.
Although Zhao Qinglan's family had a phone before, Sui Wenjing rarely called them. Upon hearing that they had already called several times, Li Huai immediately told his wife when he got home.
Zhao Qinglan then used a public phone in the family quarters to call Sui Wenjing back.
Unfortunately, Sui Wenjing and Li Aiguo had both gone home after get off work, and no one answered the phone when they called their workplace.
It would have been better if she hadn't known. Now that she did, Zhao Qinglan was anxious, wondering what Sui Wenjing wanted to contact her about.
She finally made it to the second day, figuring out that the two of them should be at work, so she quickly called again. After the call was transferred, she got in touch with Sui Wenjing very soon.
"Emma, Qinglan, I can finally talk to you."
"Sister Sui, what's going on?" Zhao Qinglan asked.
"Actually, it wasn't anything important, but I got worried because I couldn't get in touch with you."
"Sister Sui, it's my fault too. I didn't tell you I was moving."
"No, no, it's good that Li Huai got promoted. I haven't congratulated you yet. Oh right, look at my brain, um, Wang Xiaofei is gone."
"Wang Xiaofei is gone? He ran away from home too?" Although she hadn't heard from Wang Xiaofei in a long time, Zhao Qinglan was still a little surprised.
“He didn’t run away from home. I only found out recently. Wang Dazhi’s mother came back to our garment factory’s residential area to brag, saying that her grandson was taken to Hong Kong by a rich relative to enjoy a life of luxury.”
The Wang family has a wealthy relative in Gangcheng? She spent so long in the Wang family in her past life and never knew that.
"Sister Sui, is that really what she said?" she pressed.
"Yes, maybe it's because they were kicked out of the clothing factory's building before, and they've been holding a grudge ever since. That's why they came back to show off. You know what, this old lady's life has really improved now. She's even wearing gold and silver."
Sui Wenjing didn't hear it herself, but when Grandma Wang was showing off, her mother-in-law was at home and witnessed it firsthand.
This is not like a few years ago. With the reform and opening up, policies have gradually become more relaxed. Now, if someone has relatives in the port city or abroad, they are the envy of others.
The country is now making efforts to attract foreign businesses or overseas Chinese from Hong Kong to invest and develop in the mainland.
If Old Lady Wang had just been talking casually, people would have just thought she was exaggerating and boasting. But now that she seems to have really benefited from having a wealthy relative, everyone has no choice but to believe her, even if they don't want to.
Some opportunists have already started flattering and currying favor with Old Lady Wang.
After careful recollection, Zhao Qinglan was certain that during her years with the Wang family in her previous life, the Wang family never had a single wealthy relative from Hong Kong.
Although the Wang family was wary of her, they wouldn't hide such things from her. If they did, they would only use it as leverage to boast about the Wang family's power and belittle her.
So either this wealthy relative from Hong Kong never appeared in their past life, or there's something fishy about this.
Based on her understanding of Wang Dazhi, the former mother-in-law, Wang Dazhi had no home to return to, Wang Xiaoyan was lost, and Wang Xiaofei was the only male member left in the Wang family. So, wouldn't the old lady treat this grandson as her lifeblood?
A wealthy relative, whom she hadn't seen for years, allowed her to take her beloved grandson away.
No matter how she thought about it, something felt off.
"Sister Sui, did that wealthy relative say anything extra?"
"No, when others asked, the old lady only said that her relatives did business in Hong Kong, but she didn't know the specifics."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sister Sui. I'll give you a number and an address so it'll be convenient to call or write to you if you need anything in the future."
"Okay, you say so, I'll remember."
...
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qinglan returned home with some doubts.
She shared her husband's biggest secrets with him, so there was nothing she couldn't talk about these trivial matters.
When she casually brought it up, Li Huai suddenly said something.
"Could it be Wang Dazhi?"
"That's right!" Zhao Qinglan suddenly realized.
In that case, everything makes sense.
Wang Dazhi has been on the run for many years. If he can't stay in the mainland, he will most likely go to Hong Kong.
If his biological father wanted to take his son away, Old Lady Wang would only be happy and would not stop him.
If Wang Dazhi becomes rich, it would be reasonable for Old Lady Wang to benefit from it and wear gold and silver.
If it really is Wang Dazhi, Zhao Qinglan feels a little envious.
She thought that because of her messy actions, the Wang family had fallen from grace, although the Wang family members themselves were largely to blame.
But she never expected that someone like Wang Dazhi could make a comeback; it's true that evil lives on for a thousand years.
Wang Dazhi's wealth and success are not a good thing for her.
This kind of despicable person deserves his own fate, but it's true that she has had a difficult life. If he were to gain power, wouldn't he take revenge on her?
Seeing that she looked worried because of Wang Dazhi, Li Huai quickly put his arm around her and comforted her.
"So what if he's powerful? We live in a society governed by the rule of law. He can't just do whatever he wants."
"Exactly! He turned things around, so why can't we become even stronger?" Zhao Qinglan regained her confidence.
My husband is only 34 and he's already a full-fledged regimental commander. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll continue to rise steadily in the future. As for me, I'll work even harder to expand my career.
Even if Wang Dazhi really comes back for revenge in the future, they don't need to be so afraid.
Their own strength is their greatest source of confidence!
In the past, Zhao Qinglan did business to make money simply to improve her family's living conditions, but now she has a more ambitious goal to strive for.
She had worked so hard to change everything and have a warm and happy home, and she wouldn't allow anyone to destroy it.
