Su Qing had always been wary of the old couple, Mrs. He, and was a little shocked when he heard the news.
She was worried that it was a cover-up, another ploy by Old Lady He.
But soon she no longer had the heart to care about the He family's affairs because...something happened to Tang Meilan.
Looking at the big words "Meilan is in trouble, come quickly" on the telegram, Su Qing was a little dazed.
He grabbed the postman who was delivering the telegram and asked, "Hey, Comrade Xiao Zhao, when did this telegram arrive?"
"This morning, I saw it was expedited, so I delivered it to you as soon as I got it."
Because Su Qing and Tang Meilan exchanged letters frequently, Su Qing became familiar with the postman who delivered the letters.
So when Xiao Zhao saw that it was Su Qing's urgent telegram, he delivered it immediately.
"Okay, thank you. Thank you for your trouble. Here are some freshly baked steamed buns. Take two and eat them on the way."
After seeing Xiao Zhao off, Su Qing sat dejectedly on the chair.
She just spoke to Tang Meilan on the phone two days ago.
At that time, Tang Meilan's tone and mood were very good, at least it sounded very pleasant to Su Qing.
How come this happened suddenly?
I'm not afraid that this is a prank, I'm just afraid that this is real.
Su Qing, feeling restless, decided to go to the town and make a phone call to ask.
"Mom, I'm going to town."
"What's wrong? Is the matter with Meilan that little girl serious? Do you want mother or sister-in-law to accompany you?"
"No, I'll go call and ask what's going on."
"All the cars at home have been taken away, how are you going to get there?"
"I'll rent a donkey cart from the village."
Su Qing quickly dressed and went out, leaving only his back to everyone.
Su Qing's heart was beating fast all the way.
When Su Qing arrived at the post office, he handed a dollar to the operator and dialed the number of the street management office where Tang Meilan was.
"Hello, I'm Tang Meilan's sister. I need to talk to her about something. Could you please go to the Tang family and ask Tang Meilan to answer the phone?"
"The Tang family? There's no one at her house. It's pointless to look for them. I'll have them call me back when their family comes back."
Snap~
The person on the other end hung up the phone.
The sound of a busy tone made Su Qing even more annoyed.
Little did they know that everyone was waiting to eat the Tang family's melon.
"Hey, Granny Lai, weren't you the one who usually went to the Tang family to get someone to answer the phone? Why didn't you respond today?"
Mrs. Lai is the head of the street management office and also the manager of the telephone.
Anyone who wants to make a phone call on these streets has to please her, otherwise they have to go to the post office in the north of the city and queue up.
Because of business matters, the two of them had to communicate by phone frequently. Tang Meilan would always give Lai Pozi a few cents or a dollar each time, and Lai Pozi was very active in reaching out to Tang Meilan.
"The Tang family incident has caused such a big stir. Who knows if they are here to collect debts or to show their support?"
She still regrets it now.
Just because I answered that phone call on behalf of the Tang family last night, the Tang family is now in chaos.
However, only she and the Tang family knew about this matter.
"Okay, you're the boss and you have the final say. I'll go home first. If my grandson calls me back, remember to tell me."
Unable to get any information from the street, Su Qing called the supply and marketing cooperative where Tang Meilan worked.
Fortunately, Su Qing remembered the phone number, otherwise he would be at a loss now.
"Hello, who is this? Tell me what you want to say, I'm busy."
Su Qing could feel the chaos on the other side through the microphone, and the crackling sounds were endless.
"Hello, I'm looking for Tang Meilan. Is she here?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm her sister. Isn't she here?"
"No, Meilan didn't come to work today. Do you have anything I can tell her?"
"No big deal. If she's at work, ask her to call me back."
"knew."
…
"Wait a minute." Another female voice sounded. "Is this Meilan's sister? Give me the phone number, and you go ahead and do your thing."
Hearing the voice on the other end, Su Qing put his ear directly to the receiver.
"Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes, is this Sister Su Qing?"
"yes."
"Oh my, I'm so glad you're finally here. Meilan told me yesterday that you would call me. If you have time, please come to the provincial capital. Things are a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly over the phone for a while.
Hurry up and buy a ticket to the provincial capital. I'll tell you in detail when you get there. Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. The leader is here."
Before Su Qing could speak, the busy tone came again.
After being hung up on twice in a row, Su Qing's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
I hung up the phone and rushed to the train station to buy a ticket.
After buying the ticket, Su Qing went directly to the textile factory.
"Wife, are you looking for me?"
Cheng Fangyi was just about to get out of the car when he heard the security guard say that his wife had arrived. He was a little surprised.
"Cheng Fangyi, Meilan is in trouble. I have to go to the provincial capital. I'll leave the housework to you."
"What's wrong? Is it serious? Do you want me to intervene?"
"I don't know the details yet. I'll find out when I get there. I've already bought a ticket for the afternoon bus."
"So urgent? Are you going alone?"
"right."
Cheng Fangyi frowned slightly, feeling a little worried about Su Qing going on a long journey alone, and even wanted to accompany her.
But he still has to drive.
Now that the leadership of the factory has changed significantly, he can't take leave frequently.
Seeing Cheng Fangyi's worry, Su Qing quickly comforted him, "It's okay, I can handle it alone. If it's not serious, I'll be back in two or three days."
