"I can roughly guess it. At first I thought it was a roommate. You know there's a girl who's always been jealous of me and likes your brother. Your brother attracted a lot of romantic interest during the two times he came to school. But I just saw her letter in the mailroom. The date shows it was mailed ten days ago. Judging from the content of your brother's letter, if she stole my letter, she wouldn't have taken her own letter, so we can infer that she didn't steal the letter."
"Then why did my sister-in-law take out her letter?"
Ji Ling tore up a letter and replied, "It's just a small revenge for what she did to me before."
Zhu Heping looked over and after seeing the contents, his eyes widened. "Her family arranged a marriage for her and asked her to hurry back to get married. Why are they only informing her now?"
Ji Ling crumpled up the letter and threw it into the trash can nearby. "No wonder she didn't go to the mailroom to pick up the mail. Maybe she already knew about the arrangement at home and simply ignored the letters from home. Don't worry, she won't go back."
Zhu Heping didn't care about Gao Jing's situation and asked, "Sister-in-law, who stole the letter?"
"There is only one person who can do such a thing, Wu Jian. I haven't seen him before, and nothing like this has ever happened before. If it's not Gao Jing, then it must be him. But I'm not sure if my guess is right. Write a letter to your eldest brother and ask him if he has received a letter from a man."
"Why is Wu Jian writing to my elder brother?"
"Of course I'm telling you, brother, how he and I love each other."
Zhu Heping: Already downstairs in the dormitory, Ji Ling stopped and said, "There's no rush anyway. Your elder brother might write back as soon as he receives the letter. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
"Don't wait any longer. I'm going to send a telegram to my eldest brother now." Zhu Heping turned and left. When he heard Ji Ling behind him telling him that she would come over to help her pack up tomorrow, he waved his hand and said he understood.
Of course Zhu Heping was anxious. They knew very well how much his elder brother cared about his sister-in-law. After receiving such a provocative letter, his elder brother had to rush back directly.
Zhu Heping called Zhu Yaowu at home and told him what happened. Zhu Yaowu rubbed his hands and said, "If I don't make this grandson surnamed Wu remember what fear is, I will take his surname."
"Second brother, wait for me to go back tomorrow and we will make a plan."
"Okay, let's call back the second and fifth brothers."
Later, Zhu Yaowu was also responsible for sending the telegram.
At this time, Zhu Weidong, who was far away in the southwest, had already received a reply letter from the capital. However, after opening the letter, his sword-like eyebrows slowly twisted together.
Li Gong came in from outside, "Something happened at home?"
Everyone received a letter today. It is difficult to go out in the deep mountains, so I go out to purchase supplies once every two weeks and bring back everyone's letters.
"I need to take a few days off." Zhu Weidong stood up.
Engineer Li staggered, then stood up. "If you leave now, won't all the work stop? You've given up, the leaders above won't give you leave. If you don't give orders now, where will everyone work and where will they start? What happened at home?"
Zhu Weidong looked at Mr. Li and said, "Someone likes my wife."
Poof! The tea that Mr. Li had drunk came out again.
He coughed a few times, pointed at him and said, "What's the big deal? Your wife is pretty, it's normal for someone to like her. It's abnormal if no one likes her."
Zhu Weidong now draws pictures of his wife during his rest time. Everyone around him knows about it and naturally sees what his wife looks like.
She was wearing a cheongsam and looked delicate, which made people feel pity for her. No wonder such a wooden man missed a wife.
Li Gong walked over and pushed the man back to the chair. "Sit down and calm down. Don't be so impulsive. Look at rice, everyone likes it. Look at shit, who doesn't hate it? Do you want your wife to be treated like rice or shit?"
"It's not a letter from my wife."
Li Gong asked, "Did your family tell you?"
"The suitor."
"How did he know the address?" Li Gong asked, "Did your wife give it to him?"
After saying that, Li Gong wanted to slap himself in the face. How could persuading someone end up adding fuel to the fire? "I was just talking nonsense. Don't stare at me. You look like an ice cube. If you stare at me like this, who would dare to approach you?" Li Gong laughed dryly. "But from what you said, I can infer that the man must have failed to pursue you, so he wrote to you to provoke you. Come on, let me see what's in the letter."
Since it wasn't a letter from a family member, and it was from a male mistress, Li Gong took the letter and started reading it.
As he read, he would occasionally say, "Look at these words, I know they are not as educated as you."
Zhu Weidong: "Indeed."
Li Gongnian: "She is my father's student and my father likes her very much."
Zhu Weidong replied, "Whether his father likes it or not is none of his business. He can't distinguish the priorities when doing things. He is not as calm as me."
Li Gong, "I look after Ling'er every day. She has a good appetite now and gets along well with her classmates."
Zhu Weidong, "Pregnant women naturally have a good appetite. Doesn't he know that he likes a pregnant woman? He still looks at her every day. He's definitely a stalker."
Mr. Li: He doesn’t talk much usually, but he is very sharp when he insults others.
Engineer Li slammed the letter on the table and said, "Since you have analyzed so much, why do you still need to ask for leave?"
Zhu Weidong, "Tell him in person."
Engineer Li: Fortunately, Zhu Yaowu's telegram arrived in time. I saw in the telegram: My sister-in-law's letter was stalked and stolen. She is now dead. My family is safe. Don't worry.
Zhu Weidong was silent for a while, took out a piece of paper and began to write a letter to his family.
In the capital, Ji Ling and a group of people were having a dinner together.
When eating at the pot, Meng Wenbin said he was here to greet everyone and asked everyone to order whatever they wanted. He then talked about where they would go after graduation. Meng Wenwu would go to the Education Bureau, as his family had already informed them. Hua Xiaoyu would go back to the steel plant, as his father was the director. He would be selected to work at the steel plant as he had good skills and would be taken care of.
Both of them are children of high-ranking officials. Meng Wenbin has a cheerful personality, while Hua Xiaoyu is quieter.
Not to mention Jiang Yihang. He didn't say where he would go after graduation, but it couldn't be worse than these two.
The only one left is Gu Baoshan. He comes from the countryside and can be said to be on par with Jiang Yihang among the few people, but because his family is not well-off, he can only wait and see how the higher-ups allocate their resources.
Listening to several classmates talking, Gu Baoshan just smiled gently. When he noticed someone was passing food to him, he turned his head and saw Gao Jing.
Gao Jing blushed, "Senior Gu, thank you for taking care of me. You are so outstanding, and the work assigned to you will definitely be better."
