Chapter 20: The Phone Called



After hearing her words, Old Mrs. Su sighed.

"Grandma knows, Grandma would never let you marry that kind of person. Grandma is just angry with Zhihe. Our family has treated him very well. How could he just do this to you!"

Hearing what she said, Su He offered an explanation, "I doubt even Brother Zhihe can make that decision."

Hearing this, Grandma Su snorted again, "I know his personality is probably completely controlled by his wife, but even so, he still couldn't help but come along and try to persuade her!"

Su He knew that there was no point in saying anything at this point, so she could only advise Grandma Su not to overthink it.

Su's mother, standing to the side, seemed hesitant to speak. Su He could guess what she was thinking, but she didn't bother to respond.

Just then, the village loudspeaker blared.

"Hello, is Su He there? Answer the phone at the village branch."

"Su He, Su He, come to the village branch office right away after you hear this, we have your phone number!"

...

The loudspeaker blared three times, and Su He and her family all heard it.

In fact, although there is a telephone in the village, it doesn't get many calls usually; only Su He calls occasionally.

She assumed it was a classmate calling and wondered if it was work-related, so she immediately got up to answer it.

Grandma Su got up too, saying, "Grandma will go with you, otherwise it will be dark and you'll be scared to walk by yourself."

Su He thought that the old lady was so old and wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, she saw that the old lady had already walked nimbly and was already out of the courtyard. She could only shut up and hurry up and follow.

When they arrived at the village branch, they saw the accountant on duty. He told them to wait a moment and that he would call them later.

Su He nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, not long after they arrived, the phone rang, and Su He went to answer it.

"Hello."

"Hello, is this Comrade Su He? This is Xu Ping."

Su He was startled when she heard his voice, and then she remembered that it was Xu Ping, the son of Aunt Xu whom she had met today.

She hurriedly replied, "Is this Brother Xu? This is Su He. Is it Aunt Xu who's calling? What's the matter?"

Otherwise, why would I call her at night after only meeting her during the day?

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping on the other end of the phone said directly, "Hello, Comrade Su He, my mother is fine, but the doctor said that her ankle sprain is quite serious. In addition, she is old and recovers slowly, so she needs to rest for a period of time, at least a month. However, she can't be without someone at work, so I wanted to ask if you could come and cover for her?"

Don't worry, you can just come and stay at my place. You'll get paid for as long as you work, and you can eat at my place too..."

Xu Ping went on and on, but Su He couldn't listen anymore. She was overjoyed; she hadn't expected such a good thing to happen!

I guess Aunt Xu thought of her because she saw how anxious she was to find a job.

He immediately said, "I do, Brother Xu, thank you and Aunt Xu!"

Xu Ping smiled and didn't say anything more, saying directly, "Then come over tomorrow. Come early so you can go straight to work."

"Okay, I understand!"

Even after hanging up the phone, Su He was still very excited.

Seeing this, Grandma Su asked curiously, "Whose call was that?"

Hearing her call him Brother Xu, could there be something going on?

Even the accountant inside looked at her curiously.
