Chapter 451 The SOS Letter Was Successfully Sent

Grandma Yao gently patted her back in response.

Grandma Wei quickly brought over the money she had earned.

Now that we have enough money and the letter is written, we're just waiting for the post office staff to come by bicycle to collect it.

Every day, the most important thing for Yang Wanpan when she opened her eyes was to endure the pain in her body and look towards the door, hoping that the post office staff would appear at the door.

Finally, the day arrived that the post office would come to the village to collect mail, much to Yang Wan's delight.

Early in the morning, Grandma Yao got up and prepared, moved a small stool to sit at the door, and didn't even dare to leave to eat, holding her bowl and waiting at the door.

As the sound of the bicycle drew closer, Grandma Yao excitedly ran into the house, grabbing the eight cents and the letter she had prepared.

The moment the post office staff appeared, smiles appeared on the faces of Yang Wan and Grandma Yao simultaneously.

Grandma Yao quickly stuffed the letter and money into the mailman's hand, while Grandma Wei helped her communicate with the postman.

She said, "Please be sure to protect this letter carefully. It is very important and must be delivered safely."

The postman was a young man, at the prime of his work, and upon hearing this, he quickly nodded earnestly.

"Don't worry, I will send out every single letter in this batch as soon as possible."

Grandma Yao nodded repeatedly in thanks.

The moment the postman took the letter, Yang Wan's heart began to truly anticipate it.

Perhaps because of the good news that the letter had been sent, she was in better spirits today than in the past few days. She helped herself to sit up and drank the medicine prescribed by the village doctor in one gulp.

The originally bitter and hard-to-swallow black medicine soup seemed less bitter at this moment, and even seemed to have a hint of sweetness.

Grandma Yao was overjoyed and didn't know what to do for a moment.

After thinking it over, she decided that she had to ensure Yang Wan's safety during her last few days here.

The biggest hidden danger in this village is those few old bachelors.

The old lady simply smashed all the discarded pottery jars in the yard into pieces, and stuck the sharpest end upright into the wall.

She wanted to see if those shameless old bachelors would dare to come again!

If they dare, I'll make sure their legs and buttocks are riddled with holes!

Meanwhile, Shuying, living in the military compound, was also eagerly awaiting news of her mother every day.

The investigation on Xie Zhiyan's side is still ongoing, and Qi Zecheng is providing Xie Zhiyan with updates every day.

Whenever there was any new progress, Xie Zhiyan would always inform Shu Ying immediately.

Shuying was always full of anticipation, but when she heard that her mother had not been found yet, her hopes would inevitably be dashed.

Xie Zhiyan sighed and gently put his arm around Shu Ying's shoulder.

"Don't worry, our investigation will continue. Uncle Zheng has already contacted the newspapers and radio stations, hasn't he?"

"Maybe Mom already knows the news and is trying to contact us."

"Don't worry too much. You're pregnant now, and it's too mentally taxing and bad for your health."

Shu Ying nodded.

She knew she shouldn't waste too much energy thinking about it, but reason is reason, and after all, she was her biological mother. How could she really not think about it?

Shu Ying took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, forced herself to concentrate, and looked down at the prepared materials in her hands.

Tomorrow is the day of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' reception meeting. The translator from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was injured when he was on assignment abroad. He is still injured and cannot sit or stand for long periods of time.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was at its wits' end and contacted her by phone first thing this morning.

Shu Ying was also forced into this situation and could only work overtime urgently to familiarize herself with the relevant materials for tomorrow.

However, when people are anxious or in a hurry, the more they try to concentrate on doing one thing, the easier it is for their mind to become scattered.

Like right now.

The more she tried to clear her mind and focus on the documents in her hand, the more chaotic sounds and images kept popping into her head.

Even people she didn't usually care about couldn't help but pop up in her mind.

At this moment, Shu Ying's mind was filled with Du Zhiwei's face.

This girl has been acting strangely lately. Whenever she sees her, she seizes any opportunity to make sarcastic and mocking remarks, saying that she's a self-taught amateur, a know-it-all, and an outsider pretending to be an expert...

The sarcastic remark, "You're simply not up to the task. Do you think you can just walk into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like that? Be careful not to mess things up and cause a huge disaster," echoed in my ears.

Shu Ying felt a headache just thinking about it; she always felt like her brain was overworked.

She simply put down her pen, let out a long sigh, and rubbed her temples.

If she continues to be so distracted, she won't be able to finish reviewing all this information tonight, and Du Zhiwei's words might really come true—she'll make a big mistake at the diplomatic conference.

Shu Ying was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Just then, Xie Mingzhu knocked on the door and came in.

"Yingying, are you worrying about the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again?"

Shu Ying quickly concealed her exhaustion and irritability, and nodded helplessly.

"yes."

Xie Mingzhu walked in and placed the cut fruit and a steaming cup of tea in front of Shu Ying.

Shu Ying rubbed her temples and glanced at it, somewhat surprised.

"Why is there so much fruit?"

On the plate in front of me were at least four or five kinds of fruit, all of different colors, and at a glance they were all of excellent quality. Some of them were not even in season, so you could tell they must be expensive.

"How much money will this cost, sister? You don't need to spend money to buy these things just to please me."

Xie Mingzhu smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

“These weren’t just bought by me; some of them were bought by Zhiyan.”

"A couple of days ago, he asked me, somewhat evasively, how he could treat you well, keep you in a good mood, and make you happy."

"So today I bought a whole bunch of fruits and ingredients, all the best ones, saying I wanted you to eat and drink well so you could feel better."

“The money to buy these things is not important to him; you are the most important thing to him. He is willing to spend money as long as he can afford it.”

"My younger brother is quite devoted to his wife."

Xie Mingzhu smiled and changed the subject.

"However, Zhiyan also reminded me, so I prepared quite a lot for you."

"Recently, Qingqing and I have made a lot of things for the families of military personnel. Although we can't make money directly, we have exchanged these skills for a lot of tangible things."

"I've been receiving so many eggs, vegetables, and brown sugar these days, my hands are sore from receiving them."

"In addition to these, there are cloth, cloth coupons, grain coupons, industrial vouchers..."
