Chapter 238: Inquiring
Hong Chen didn't say anything more, just looked at Chen Ming silently a few times.
Chen Ming's mind was still immersed in the matter of giving a few cents for a minute of phone call, and he didn't pay attention to Hong Chen's gaze at all.
Hong Chen: "......"
Once this kind of stupid and honest person becomes vicious, it is really unbearable!
The old lady knew that Chen Ming had never called before, and he might not remember the phone number of the village chief's home at all, so she simply went to get through the phone by herself, asked the village chief who answered the phone to inform Chen Tiansheng and Zheng Sifeng, and then agreed to call again after ten minutes, and hung up the phone.
The village chief's house has installed a big speaker, which is the kind of electricity, and it is very convenient to shout people.
Every time there was something in the village, the village chief shouted several times into the loudspeaker at home, and most of the people in the village heard it.
There are those who have not heard, and there are enough people to tell them.
Including the fact that people in the village often call the village chief's house and ask the village chief to help call someone to answer the phone, this loudspeaker can also come in handy.
In addition, the Chen family is not too far from the village chief's house, counting the delay in the middle, the old lady will call again ten minutes later, and Chen Tiansheng and his family must have been waiting on the other end of the phone.
After hearing about the conversation between the old lady and the village chief, Chen Ming began to panic again.
Do you really want to tell your parents about Baolan?
When they heard the news, they didn't know if they would faint in fright.
But if he didn't tell his parents about this, he really couldn't bear it......
Chen Ming struggled back and forth, and ten minutes passed quickly.
The old lady glanced at Chen Ming and dialed the phone again.
The phone was quickly connected, and Chen Tiansheng's anxious voice came from the opposite side: "Mingzi, is it you?"
The old lady didn't answer, and directly handed the microphone to Chen Ming: "Mingzi, answer the phone, it's your father who answered it." ”
Chen Ming subconsciously took the microphone, but his face became more and more dazed, and he didn't know what to say at all.
Chen Tiansheng didn't know the situation on the other end of the phone, but he also heard the old lady's voice calling Chen Ming, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he just asked vigorously: "Mingzi, is it you?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Ming's nose suddenly became sore, and tears almost fell.
He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Dad, it's me." ”
The old lady glanced at Hong Chen, and Hong Chen avoided behind the commissary.
"Mingzi, why did you remember to call home at this time? Is something wrong?" Chen Tianjing asked worriedly.
Chen Ming didn't dare to answer, so he had to look at the old lady for help.
The old lady said in a low voice: "Baolan's matter, you have to explain it to your parents yourself." After all, I am an outsider, and even if some words come out of my mouth, your parents may not want to believe them, and they still have to ask you in the end. ”
Chen Ming suddenly stiffened.
He had to admit that what the old lady said still made sense.
No matter whose mouth he told his parents about his sister, it was impossible for his parents not to ask him about it.
He couldn't hide from it.
Chen Tiansheng is in the prime of life, so he is naturally deaf and clear-sighted. Although the old lady spoke in a soft voice, Chen Ming was too close to the old lady, so Chen Tiansheng still heard what the old lady said at once.
His heart sank suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Is there something wrong with Baolan? What's wrong with Baolan? Mingzi, tell me quickly!"
Zheng Sifeng was also with him, and the village chief was also staying at home, both of them heard Chen Tiansheng's words, and both saw Chen Tiansheng's reaction, and suddenly secretly screamed in their hearts.
The former was naturally worried about his daughter, and the latter hurriedly retreated, for fear that he would hear something he shouldn't have heard.
Originally, when people from the village came to his house to borrow a phone, he must have to guard it at home. First, I was worried that people would not be able to use the phone, and it would be bad if the phone was broken. Second, if something happens to the villagers who answer the phone, he might be able to help come up with an idea.
Originally, the old lady called back and said that Chen Ming had something to find his parents, but the village chief was still thinking in his heart, maybe Chen Ming earned money outside and sent it back, so that his parents could take the time to go to the post office to get money or something.
After all, everyone in the village knew that after Chen Ming was taken to the city by Zheng Fangyi, he made a lot of money. During the Chinese New Year before, Chen Ming brought back a lot of New Year's goods, which made everyone talk about it.
In the past, the Chen family was so poor that no one was willing to step into their door, for fear of being entangled by the Chen family and asking them to borrow money or something. Now that Chen Ming can make money, the Chen family's life is slowly getting better, and when they pay off some foreign debts during the Chinese New Year, many people have begun to think about it.
Some people even began to inquire about Chen Ming's news, thinking about marrying their daughter to Chen Ming!
In the past, Zheng Sifeng wished that his son could marry a daughter-in-law and enter the door quickly, even if the conditions were poor and the family was poor, it was nothing. But now, Zheng Sifeng has picked it up, and they all let out the words from the matchmaker, saying that they want to choose a capable daughter-in-law for their Chen Ming, and the dowry will not be missing at that time.
Because of this matter, many people in the village are gossiping about the Chen family behind their backs, saying that Zheng Sifeng is shaking all of a sudden because of his son who can make money, but in fact, it is not all because of Zheng Fangyi's affection and righteousness that he brought Chen Ming into the city, so that the Chen family can have a good life like today?
If Zheng Fangyi hadn't been in the village for a long time, I don't know how many people would want to ask him to bring his children into the city with him.
Of course, Chen Ming is capable now, and his mother wants to find him a capable daughter-in-law with a good dowry, which is not much of a mistake, and the village chief doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.
But now it seems that the Chen family is not as good as the villagers imagined!
The village chief secretly had doubts in his heart, as soon as he came out of the house where he was calling, he bumped into his daughter-in-law standing at the door, listening carefully to the movement in the house!
The village chief was taken aback: "What are you doing?!"
The village chief's daughter-in-law hurriedly pulled him, put her fingers between her lips and said, "Shh
The village chief was so angry that his face turned black: "What does it have to do with us when people call? You hide here and eavesdrop, in case someone finds out, I, as the village head, will still have my face there?!"
"Oh, you always love to worry about your village chief's face, but what is the use of this face, you can't eat or drink. The village chief's daughter-in-law said indifferently, "Usually you can stop me, but not today." My sister-in-law asked me to inquire about Chen Ming, she wants to marry Guofang to Chen Ming!"
