Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 73 - Borrow a phone

Chapter 73: Borrow a phone

Chapter 73: Borrow a phone

Guided by Li Er, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo quickly arrived at the village chief’s house.

“Is Uncle Chief at home? It’s me, Li Er!” Li Er called out as he knocked on the door.

Soon, a slightly overweight middle-aged woman with a somewhat mean aspect came over to open the door.

“Aunt Fu, is Uncle Chief at home?” Li Er asked with a grin.

The woman who opened the door was the village chief’s wife, Li Fuying, well-known in Siyang Village as a formidable character. Li Er was usually somewhat afraid of her, but for the sake of Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, he had to brace himself. After all, they had saved his life.

Li Fuying glanced at Li Er with contempt and asked with a forced smile, “Li Er, what do you need from your Uncle Chief for?” Since Li Er’s family was famously poor in the village, she looked down on him.

“Aunt Fu, my friends need to make a phone call, and we were hoping to borrow your phone for a moment,” Li Er said, steeling himself and managing an awkward smile.

Li Fuying seemed displeased when she heard this and, hands on her hips, pointed at Li Er and asked, “What? You want to borrow our phone? Do you know how much a phone call costs? Do you have money to pay for the elec…”

Li Fuying’s sentence cut off abruptly as her eyes gleamed at the sight of a banknote suddenly appearing in front of her.

“Will this be enough?” Luo Shu asked in an indifferent tone.

“Yes! Yes! It’s enough!” Li Fuying hurried to reach for the money, but Luo Shu withdrew her hand.

“Where’s the phone?”

“Inside, you can follow me,” Li Fuying said, eyes fixed on the money in Luo Shu’s hand as she cheerfully stepped aside to let them in. She never expected Li Er, the penniless bum, to have such wealthy friends.

Leading them into the living hall, Li Fuying smiled and pointed at the phone on the table, “The phone’s right there, that…” She glanced at the money in Luo Shu’s hand, her intention quite clear.

“I’ll give it to you after we make the call,” Luo Shu said as she put the money into her pocket and gave Li Er a signal with her eyes.

Li Er nodded knowingly and turned to Li Fuying with a smile, “Aunt Fu, let’s go to the yard. I have something to tell you.”

“What’s there to talk about? What’s so important?” Li Fuying glanced at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, reluctant to leave. She hadn’t gotten the money yet. Besides, how could she feel at ease, leaving two strangers alone in her house?

“Aunt Fu, that girl is a doctor, and her medical skills are amazing. Hasn’t your daughter-in-law been unable to conceive for a long time? You could have the doctor take a look at her,” Li Er whispered into Li Fuying’s ear.

“Really? Are you lying to me?” Li Fuying asked skeptically, eyeing Luo Shu. She was younger than her own daughter; how could she possibly be a doctor?

“Why would I lie to you? I was just bitten by a venomous snake, and she’s the one who saved me. Look at my leg, it’s still wrapped in gauze,” Li Er said as he pointed to his wounded leg.

Li Fuying glanced at Li Er’s leg and nodded, then stepped out of the house. Her daughter-in-law’s infertility had always been a sore point for her. If her daughter-in-law was driven out by her in-laws, wouldn’t she end up depending on them?

Seeing Li Er and Li Fuying leave, Luo Shu picked up the phone.

Zhao Aishu’s mood had been down these past few days. More than a week had passed with no news from Luo Shu, and she was on the verge of desperation.

Just then, the telephone rang.

Zhao Aishu turned her head and saw that the nanny had gone to answer it, so she stopped the motion of wanting to move forward.

The nanny spoke a couple of words, her face lighting up with surprise as she put down the phone, “Madam, Miss Luo Shu has called.” As she walked over, she loudly shared this good news with Zhao Aishu.

Zhao Aishu’s gaze immediately brightened, “Really? Quickly, push me over to take the call.” At last, there was news from the child.

The nanny approached, pushing Zhao Aishu closer to the phone.

Zhao Aishu picked up the phone and eagerly asked, “Is that Luo Shu?” She was somewhat worried that the nanny might have heard incorrectly.

“Godmother, it’s Luo Shu, I’ve made you worry again! I’m fine now and will be able to return soon,” Luo Shu’s voice came through from the other end of the line.

Hearing that it was indeed Luo Shu, Zhao Aishu became emotionally teary, “It’s good that you’re okay! Where have you been these past few days? We’ve been so worried.”

“Brother Lu and I have been in the mountains,” Luo Shu briefly recounted their experiences of the past few days. They had initially decided to go into the mountains because they were worried that the person lurking in the shadows wasn’t going to give up and might set up an ambush in the nearby towns. Secondly, by traveling through the mountains, they could take the opportunity to train themselves. The spiritual energy in the mountains was plentiful, which helped with their cultivation.

After chatting with Zhao Aishu for a while, Luo Shu hung up and turned to Lu Hanmo to ask, “Brother Lu, do you want to call home?”

“Mhm!” Lu Hanmo nodded and reached for the phone. His greatest concern was his grandfather; his health had just improved, and he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if his grandfather fell ill again because of him.

The phone rang twice before someone answered.

“This is the Lu family, may I ask who you’re looking for?” A young girl’s crisp voice came from the other side.

Lu Hanmo paused for a moment and deliberately made his voice sound much older, “Please find Lu Nianhua, Old Master Lu for me and tell him that his friend Ah Mo is calling.” He hadn’t heard the voice on the other end before, so she likely wasn’t a member of his household.

“Alright! Please hold on!” After speaking, the person on the other end placed the phone down.

Shortly after, the phone was picked up again, this time by Old Master Lu with a hint of authority in his voice, “I am Lu Nianhua!”

Lu Hanmo listened carefully, detecting a faint sound of breathing within the call, and his eyes narrowed slightly, “Old Master Lu, hello! It’s Ah Mo. Do you remember me? A few years ago, we went fishing together.”

“I remember, how are you doing now?” Old Master Lu asked with a laugh. Despite Hanmo altering his voice, he had immediately recognized it. How could he not recognize the voice of his grandson whom he had watched grow up from childhood?

“I’m in good health! But I heard recently that you were sick; are you feeling better now?” Lu Hanmo asked, knowing that his grandfather had recognized his voice.

“I’m almost completely recovered. Just the other day, Doctor Luo even called specifically to ask about my condition. Ah Mo, if you have time, come to Jinchen and visit me; we’ll go fishing together again,” Old Master Lu said cheerfully.

“Certainly! I will definitely come. I’ve heard that Willow Hill Lake has plenty of fish, let’s go there to fish,” Lu Hanmo replied. Hearing a barely audible sound, he knew that the person who had been eavesdropping had put the phone down.

“Hanmo, be careful out there. Your grandfather will keep an eye on things here,” Old Master Lu clearly also heard the noise and advised accordingly.

“Alright, Grandfather! I won’t talk too much then, take care of yourself,” Lu Hanmo said before hanging up the phone. From his grandfather’s words just now, he had gleaned some information. It must have been Luo Qianyu who told his grandfather that he was safe, and his grandfather already knew about the plan against him.
