Chapter 10 Hu Lili's Difficulties
Lu Xiao knew everything, but he never said it.
Whether it was the fact that his parents had asked him to marry Su Tang with just a letter, or the fact that he was unable to get promoted now.
He acted as if he didn't care, as if it was none of his business.
If it were someone else, they would have exploded long ago.
"It's to report safety."
Su Tang swallowed the rest of the words and just said that he was reporting that he was safe.
The next day, when Lu Xiao went to training, Su Tang went to the post office with the letter.
After arriving in the Northwest, Su Tang wanted to write a letter to his parents in Shanghai.
It’s just that there are too many things to do and I have never had time to spare.
This time, she finally had time to free up her hands, and she came, bringing with her questions.
However, Su Tang was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he did not write too clearly in the letter.
Su's father is a cultured man and will definitely be able to understand Su Tang's hint.
The postman glanced at Su Tang, looked him up and down, and was about to accept it when he heard Hu Lili's words from afar.
"I can't accept it."
Hearing Hu Lili's words, the postman's hand paused, and Su Tang turned sideways to look at Hu Lili behind him.
"I can't accept it. She comes from a poor family. Who knows what she wrote in the letter?"
"Don't they say that all their letters must be handed over to the leader before being mailed?"
Hu Lili had a smug smile on her face. She had just seen Su Tang sneaking out and followed him.
She is indeed dishonest.
Hu Lili reached out to take the letter, but was blocked by Su Tang.
"Hu Lili, no one taught you, is peeping illegal?"
Su Tang put the letter away. She looked at Hu Lili coldly and didn't want to pay any more attention to her.
I thought people of this era were very simple and honest, so how come I met such a unreasonable and unreasonable Hu Lili?
"Don't scare me, I'm not afraid of threats."
"Su Tang, why are you so anxious to receive the letter? You are going to be supervised by all of us, do you understand?"
When Hu Lili heard Su Tang say this, she was a little scared at first, but then she thought that the person who should be afraid was Su Tang.
"Who said that?"
Su Tang took a step closer to Hu Lili. Looking at Su Tang's powerful aura, she couldn't help swallowing.
"There are, there are rules!"
Hu Lili stiffened her neck, but her voice unconsciously lowered a few notes.
"Any letter sent by someone with a bad background must first be submitted to the leader for review!"
Su Tang sneered, "Oh? Then tell me, which level of organization made this rule? Was it the commune revolutionary committee, or the post and telecommunications bureau?"
She took out the letter from her pocket and held it in front of Hu Lili.
"Besides, I sent this letter to my parents to let them know I'm safe. If you insist there's something wrong, let's go to the commune and find Director Zhang and have him check it out in person to see if there's anything illegal or disorderly in the letter."
Hu Lili didn't expect Su Tang to be so tough, and she was a little panicked for a moment.
Of course she knew that the so-called censorship regulations were just something she made up.
Although the commune did supervise incoming and outgoing correspondence, it did not explicitly stipulate that the letters of all people with bad backgrounds should be confiscated.
She just disliked Su Tang and wanted to find a reason to make things difficult for her and make her look bad.
I also want Lu Xiao to know that if he marries Su Tang, he will only have endless troubles.
The postman watched the excitement for a long time and then spoke.
"Comrade, since this woman said she wanted to send a letter to let us know she's safe, we can't just blindly doubt her. If there's really a problem, someone will naturally investigate the letter once it gets there. It's inappropriate to withhold her letter now, isn't it?"
Seeing the postman wouldn't help her, Hu Lili stamped her feet in frustration. "Why are you so ungrateful? She comes from a poor family. If she says something in the letter she shouldn't have, can you take the responsibility?"
"Whether I can afford it or not is my business."
The postman waved his hands impatiently. The clamor was giving him a headache.
"Hurry up, don't delay them from sending the letter. If you think there's a problem, report it yourself."
Su Tang nodded to the postman and handed the letter over: "Comrade, thank you for your help."
The postman took the letter, stamped it skillfully, and put it in the mail bag.
Hu Lili watched her plan go down the drain, her face turning blue with anger, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only stomp her feet and run away.
Looking at Hu Lili's receding back, Su Tang frowned slightly.
At the corner of the post office, Zheng Jinxin watched this scene with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
Hu Lili is a fool, but this also made her see Su Tang clearly.
She's really a woman who's not easy to mess with.
Zheng Jinxin turned and walked into the service center nearby. As she watched Su Tang leave, the hem of her blue shirt was lifted half an inch by the wind, revealing the washed-out dacron petticoat underneath.
Rich ladies are different after all.
"Nurse Zheng, are you here to get the letter again?"
Sister Wang from the service center leaned on the counter and waved the brown paper bag in her hand at her with a smile.
"The package your family sent arrived, and there's a bar of Shanghai soap inside."
"What happened outside just now?"
Hearing Zheng Jinxin's words, Sister Wang immediately lowered her voice.
"That girl Hu Lili is just short-sighted and can't stand seeing others doing well."
Sister Wang pushed the package over and put it into her canvas bag. She asked nonchalantly, "Does Su Tang come from a poor background?"
"I heard that his family is in Shanghai, and all his family members are university teachers."
Sister Wang lowered her voice, "If it weren't for that expedited letter from Lu Xiao's father, how could this girl have married into our remote village? But the Lu family kid probably doesn't like her. He just said he wanted to get married without even having a wedding banquet."
Zheng Jinxin smiled without saying anything. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a quarrel suddenly coming from the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Hu Lili and several other women blocked Su Tang's way. One of them held up a wrinkled book and said, "Someone reported you for peeking at the poisonous weeds of capital!"
Su Tang looked at Hu Lili who came back and wanted to laugh. She asked her why she left so quickly.
"There's a foreign name on the cover, there must be something wrong!"
She shook the book proudly, with a look of triumph on her face.
"Hu Lili, the book in your hand is the one you read every day, but it's in Russian."
"After reading it for so long, haven't you memorized the first chapter? It says 'No investigation, no right to speak' in the first chapter. Have you read it?"
After Su Tang finished speaking, he snatched the book from her hand.
"It seems that you are not sincere. You look at it every day, but you can't remember it."
"This is a big problem."
Hu Lili's face suddenly changed: "Su Tang, stop fooling us here. We don't understand Russian, so we have to follow your instructions."
"If you don't understand, you can find someone who does, but I won't forgive you easily for slandering me."
Hu Lili's face flushed red, her nails almost digging into her palms. She glared at Su Tang unwillingly, but her whole body trembled when she met Su Tang's cold gaze.
The look in his eyes was very similar to that of a butcher she had seen in the slaughterhouse, accurately locking onto the vital points of his prey.
"If so, you have to apologize to me in front of everyone."
