Chapter 318 Telegraph Chapter
"Master Gao... Master Gao! You've arrived! Please come in! You're making a phone call, right? This way, this way." Song Dazhuang hurriedly pushed Yang Ping into the bedroom and came out to greet her. He then led Gao Haoran into the room where the telephone was installed.
Gao Haoran didn't stand on ceremony and immediately called Mu Xudong's house. "Xudong, I heard that Grandma Nan is critically ill. Do you know any doctors? Bring a first-aid kit and drive them over... Yes, that's right, the situation is very bad. Have your sister-in-law go to the student dormitory and call Mingxiang and Mingli to come back together... Hurry up, I'm afraid it will be too late..."
Hearing that Qian Shuzhen was in danger, Song Dazhuang hated his wife even more. It was all because she acted on her own initiative, harming others without benefiting herself!
He pulled Song Mingfu aside and asked, "Mingfu, what's wrong with your grandma? If she needs anything from me, just tell me."
"Waaaaah... My grandma climbed out of bed and saw my dad and the others being taken away by the police. She fell to the ground. My great-grandfather said... he wanted my dad and the others to come back to see... to see them one last time. Waaaaah..."
"Oh? Is it that serious?" Song Dazhuang was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands. Aunt Qian had been sick for so long, how could she bear this? This could kill her! Damn woman, now she's really made an enemy of Song Wanli's family.
As Gao Haoran hung up the phone, he said to Song Dazhuang, "Village Chief, I need to make another call."
"Go ahead and call, go ahead and call!" Song Dazhuang nodded hurriedly.
Gao Haoran's second call was to the county bus bureau looking for Director Zhang. That's right, after cracking two human trafficking cases back then, that policeman Zhang Jianguo was promoted to director.
Gao Haoran was also an acquaintance of his, which meant that having connections in high places made things easier. "Beep beep beep..." Director Zhang happened to be in the office, and the operator called him over.
Gao Haoran didn't try to be friendly and went straight to the point: "Director Zhang, hello! I'm Gao Haoran, um, Song Tingnan's mentor... Her father was taken away by your police station tonight, how's the investigation going?... Yes, yes, about the fire at her factory, someone else called the police... um... um, that's good. Her grandmother is in critical condition now... yes, yes, it might be the last time she sees her... Okay, okay! Please bring her back..."
After making those two calls, Gao Haoran thought for a moment and decided not to call Ting Nan. It was too far away, and it was late at night; it wasn't safe. He'd see how things went and decide tomorrow morning. All they could do was wait and hope they could make it in time.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Haoran asked Song Dazhuang, "Village Chief, both calls were to the county seat. Could you check the call duration and how much they cost?"
"No need, no need to pay! I'm so sorry, Master Gao, it was my stupid wife who called the police, causing you all this trouble. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
"One thing at a time. Song Wanli will personally come to you about this matter later." Gao Haoran put down ten yuan and quickly left with Song Mingfu.
There's no time for this fuss; there are only two women at home, Song Yali and Yi Dani, one big and one small, and they're probably terrified.
Back home, Qian Shuzhen seemed alright for the time being, but the waiting period was long. Song Mingfu paced back and forth in the house and yard, and eventually, unable to wait any longer, he ran to the village entrance to wait.
After drinking the ginseng soup, Qian Shuzhen regained some of her energy. Looking at her granddaughter and daughter-in-law by the bedside, she called out their names in a hoarse voice: "Yali! Dani!"
She knew she was dying. She had so much to say, but her mind was racing, and she couldn't utter a single word. Should she ask Yali and her two siblings to forgive their father, Song Wanxing? Should she get Zhao Xiaojuan to accept Song Wanxing again? Should she get her eldest son to forgive his younger brother, Song Wanli?
Putting herself in their shoes, weren't these all just making things difficult for them? She couldn't force them to do things just because they were on their deathbed, could she? Seeing Yali and Dani's tearful eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Sigh! Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; she couldn't control them anymore.
