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.
