Reborn in 1970, the chief’s wife wants a divorce

Chapter 51 How can you charge randomly?

The operator called the phone number provided by Zhou Fugui several times before finally getting through.

"Bingchen, is this you Bingchen?" Zhou Fugui took the phone and asked shivering.

This was Zhou Fugui's first time making a long-distance call, and he even held the phone upside down at first.

Zhou Fugui feels extremely distressed when he thinks of the phone bill that costs more than one dollar a minute.

"Hello, this is the XX regiment of the XX division of the Southern Military Region. Who are you looking for?" On the other end of the phone was Zheng Shengli, the leader of Zhou Bingchen's regiment.

Zheng Shengli's voice was stern. Even across the phone line, Zhou Fugui could feel a chilling air.

"Hello, comrade... I am Zhou Bingchen's father. I have something to talk to him about." Zhou Fugui said.

"Zhou Bingchen went on a mission and is not here." Zheng Shengli said.

Zheng Shengli felt a little anxious.

Three days ago, Zhou Bingchen led his team to perform a routine mission.

Logically speaking, I should have come back yesterday evening.

As a result, no one was seen this morning, and there was no news.

Zheng Shengli was a little worried.

"Going out... on a mission? Comrade, when will Zhou Bingchen come back? This matter of mine is very urgent." Zhou Fugui asked anxiously.

"It involves confidentiality, so I have no comment. Do you have anything else?" Zheng Shengli asked.

"Comrade, please tell Zhou Bingchen that something big happened at home and ask him to call back quickly." Zhou Fugui said.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Before Zhou Fugui could speak again, Zheng Shengli had already hung up the phone.

"Comrade, you called for one minute and three seconds. We will charge you two minutes for a total of two and a half yuan." The salesperson Xiao Li said while lowering his head to issue the receipt.

"What? How much?" Zhou Fugui thought he heard wrongly.

"Two yuan and sixty cents, comrade, please pay quickly, there are people waiting to call later!" Xiao Li became impatient.

"How can you, a young comrade, charge so much? One minute is 1.3 cents, and five seconds is about 10.1 cents. I should pay 1.41 cents." Zhou Fugui argued with reason.

"Where did you come from, this old hater? You don't get paid by the second for making phone calls? One minute and three cents, everything from one minute to two minutes counts as two minutes. Even one minute and one second counts as two minutes." Lee explained impatiently.

Zhou Fugui's words about charging excessively made Xiao Li very unhappy.

"It's really a money grab! You should have collected ten cents in five seconds." Zhou Fugui muttered, while tremblingly reaching for the money in his pocket.

"Who told you to do this? If you have any objections, go to the bureau and report it to our leaders. Don't vent your anger on me here. If you can't afford the money, it would be great to make long-distance calls and send letters! For a few cents in stamps, you can I have to write several pieces of letter paper!" Xiao Li glanced sideways at Zhou Fugui and said sarcastically.

Zhou Fugui didn't dare to say anything else. After paying the money, I left the post office with a weary head.

Today is really unlucky.

I spent a lot of money to make phone calls but could not find Zhou Bingchen.

Ding Ermei can't delay this matter.

Forget it, he'd better go to Zhao's house and have a look! Let Zhao Qingshan think of a solution.

After Zhou Fugui made up his mind, he walked towards Zhao's house.

When Zhou Fugui arrived at the Zhao family, the Zhao family had already had lunch.

Wu Meiyun takes a nap after lunch every day and takes the children into the house to rest.

Zhao Zhenzhu works in the workshop.

Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Tianyu, father and son, were talking in the main room.

Liang Xiaohe went to open the door.

Seeing Zhou Fugui's empty hands, Liang Xiaohe couldn't help but curled his lips and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Are you Jiakai's aunt? I'm Jiakai's grandfather. I have something to do with my father-in-law." Zhou Fugui said with a smile on his face.

When Zhao Tianyu got married, Zhou Fugui came to Zhao's house for dinner and remembered Liang Xiaohe's appearance.

"Come in!" Liang Xiaohe didn't answer Zhou Fugui's words, twisted his body and left.

I came to your house as a guest and didn't even bring a gift. Where is my face?

Liang Xiaohe looked down upon Zhou Fugui's search.

If he hadn't thought that Zhou Fugui was here to call Zhao Zhenzhu and the others home, Liang Xiaohe would not have let Zhou Fugui in today.

Zhou Fugui blushed angrily.

This aunt Jia Kai is really outrageous. He can be considered an elder, right? Customers come to the door without even a smile on their face.

However, Zhou Fugui only dared to think about it in his heart and did not dare to complain in front of Liang Xiaohe.

Liang Xiaohe sells cloth at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative station.

Zhou Fugui was afraid of getting into trouble with Liang Xiaohe. Next time he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, Liang Xiaohe would ask someone not to sell it to him.

"My dear, why are you free to come to town today? Have you eaten? Sit down quickly!" When Zhao Qingshan saw Zhou Fugui, he hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat, not forgetting to ask Zhao Tianyu to make a pot of tea.

When Zhao Qingshan didn't ask, Zhou Fugui didn't feel hungry yet.

As soon as Zhao Qingshan finished speaking, Zhou Fugui's stomach growled several times.

"Hehehe, I was so busy running around all morning that I really forgot to eat." Zhou Fugui said awkwardly, holding his stomach.

"Zhenzhu, go to the kitchen quickly and order a bowl of noodles for your father-in-law." Zhao Qingshan shouted in a loud voice.

Wu Meiyun was resting in the room, and Zhao Qingshan did not dare to make too much noise for fear of waking her up.

Zhao Zhenzhu stepped on the sewing machine and pretended not to hear it.

Zhao Zhenzhu was willing to pay for Ermei Ding to deal with the aftermath, but she just didn't want her family's troubles to implicate the innocent Uncle and Aunt Jin. But it doesn't mean that Ding Ermei's slander against her is over.

Ask her to serve noodles to Zhou Fugui?

Bah~!

Is Zhou Fugui worthy?

"The sewing machine at home is old and the sound is too loud when stepped on. The child Pearl probably didn't hear it." Zhao Qingshan said awkwardly.

"It's okay, dear, I'm actually not too hungry. I came here today to ask for your help." Zhou Fugui was afraid of causing trouble, so he had to get down to business.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"My old lady, I was at the market today..." Zhou Fugui told Zhao Qingshan about Ding Ermei's arrest.

Then he said: "My dear, you have many acquaintances in the town. Please help me find the director of the police station to intercede and let Grandma Jiakai go!"

Zhao Qingshan's face was ashen.

Zhao Qingshan also heard about Ding Ermei today.

However, the version that Zhao Qingshan heard was "The daughter-in-law refused to buy wontons for her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law actually accused her daughter-in-law and the wonton stall owner of breaking her shoes." The storyteller also listened to what others said, and did not mention the names of Ding Ermei and Zhao Zhenzhu.

During lunch today, Zhao Qingshan talked about this incident in front of the family and told the children how to deal with such an unreasonable mother-in-law.

Looking back now, Zhao Qingshan hates his bad words.

No wonder the smile on Pearl’s face was a little forced at that time!

It turns out that his pearl is one of the "protagonists" of the story.

How many grievances has Pearl suffered from the Zhou family over the years?

A little thing doesn't go her way, and Ding Ermei actually talks nonsense on the street to ruin Pearl's reputation?

The more Zhao Qingshan thought about it, the more distressed he became. If Zhou Fugui wasn't still here, Zhao Qingshan would have liked to rush to the workroom to stop Zhao Zhenzhu from being sad.
