Chapter 775: Introduce a Partner to Lin Weiguo

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Although Father remained faithful to her mother after her passing, Su Qing knew that her mother had not been happy.

As the second child in the family, Su Qing observed that her elder sister had undergone significant changes and had long let go of her childhood, but she had not done the same.

“Su Qing, don’t dwell on things that don’t suit you,” she told herself and continued writing. Once she had made up her mind, Su Qing shared Li Xue’s request for Lin Weiguo’s address in the letter. She meticulously included all the details she knew, from Li Xue’s personality and age to her family situation and job—doing everything a friend could do.

After completing the letter and signing it, Su Qing, with her fair and delicate chin in hand, hesitated for a moment before adding another sentence. She informed Lin Weiguo that her family would be traveling to the Province during the Mid-Autumn Festival and suggested they meet up if he had the time. She attached Zhou Yan’s house address for him.

However, if he wasn’t free, she emphasized the importance of prioritizing his work.

Once the letter was finished, Su Qing went to Sister Chrysanthemum’s shop and placed the wrapped bag and stamped envelope there. She requested Mrs. Chrysanthemum to help pass it to the postman when he came.

In the village, letters were collected at Sister Chrysanthemum’s shop, making the process convenient for everyone. When the postman arrived, he would gather all the letters and deliver them promptly.

Upon Su Qing’s arrival at the convenience store, she found it surrounded by curious villagers. They were watching Sister Chrysanthemum install a phone.

Sister Chrysanthemum enthusiastically promoted the idea that villagers could use her shop to make calls in the future. When the villagers knew about the cost, over two dollars per minute for long-distance calls and charges even for answering the phone, they expressed shock.

“Sister Chrysanthemum, you’re charging quite a lot. It’s too expensive.” “That’s right. Too much!”

“Although your shop is the only convenience shop in the village, and everyone buys things from you, don’t be too egotistical about it.”

“You must be making a good profit from this!”

Mrs. Chrysanthemum cried, “I’m innocent! If the village chief hadn’t mandated every village to install a telephone, I wouldn’t have wanted to install it. Making money is uncertain, and the cost is already high.”

“How much did the telephone cost?”

Sister Chrysanthemum hesitated, not wanting to discuss it further. The phone was sponsored by the government, and stating the high cost might make the villagers think she was making extra money from her small shop.

While she worried, Sister Chrysanthemum saw Su Qing, who had entered to send a letter. She eagerly grabbed her and said, “Su Qing, with your family in the Province and the capital, you’ll be making and receiving more calls. Tell everyone, is my pricing too high?”

Su Qing understood that the pricing was not excessive. Sister Chrysanthemum had invested money to install the phone and needed to make a profit. “I heard that other places charge the same price. It’s common to pay for answering calls,” Su Qing stated objectively. After this explanation, the villagers had little to say.

Curious about the new phone number, Su Qing asked Sister Chrysanthemum, who happily shared the information. Su Qing promptly wrote the number on the envelope..
