"Uncle, is Uncle Songtao around?"
"What's up? He's probably in the fields right now, but my sister-in-law is at home." Chiang Songhai noticed his expression seemed off and quickly called out to the next door. "Sister-in-law, Yao Cong is looking for you."
Ho Laidi had been keeping an eye on their house, pacing back and forth in the yard, trying to eavesdrop on anything she could. Startled by the shout, she quickly ran out.
"What's up? Yao Cong, you called me?" Ho Laidi first glared at Chiang Songhai, then turned to Yao Cong. "Has my Yuequn called? Or was it your Uncle Baoguo?"
For Ho Laidi, the only good news right now would be a call from either the boss or the youngest.
If Chiang Baoguo called, she could share her troubles, coaxing them to send more money home.
And since Chiang Yuequn went to the provincial city last time, there had been no news from him, which worried her deeply. If he called now, regardless of what he said, it would be good news.
