Chapter 317 Resentment
Song Mingfu hurriedly followed, and Gao Haoran followed as well. Mingfu's attention had been entirely on his grandmother, so he only noticed Gao Haoran then and exclaimed in surprise, "Master, when did you arrive?"
"I had just arrived when your sister called me. She was very worried about the family and asked me to come and check on them."
"Waaah, Master, thank goodness you came!" Song Mingfu couldn't help but cry too.
"Now is not the time to cry!" Gao Haoran put his arm around his shoulder and followed Dr. Song.
Once outside, Dr. Song said, "Mingfu, where did your father go? I'm afraid your grandmother won't make it through the night." He knew there was a fire, but he didn't know that Song Wanli had also been taken away by the police.
"Oh? Grandpa, my dad and the others have been taken away by the police. Now we can only rely on you. Please, you must save my grandma. Any medicine will do, no matter how expensive. I have money, I'll give you all my money."
"She was taken away by the police? What happened? Sigh, it's not about the money. Your grandmother didn't have much time left to live, and this shock and fright, plus the fact that she fell and it took so long to find her..." Dr. Song shook his head; there was nothing he could do to help!
He couldn't understand it at all. It was just a fire, a natural disaster or a man-made one. What could possibly happen to the house? Given Song Wanli's character, it shouldn't be like this. Why was he arrested by the police?
“My factory caught fire. Aunt Yang Ping from the village chief’s family called the police. She said there was something wrong and the police should come and investigate.”
"This woman is really stirring up trouble!" Dr. Song stomped her feet in anger. We all share the same ancestor and should support each other. Even if there's something going on, it's a family matter that shouldn't be aired in public. But she actually called the police.
"Mingfu, does the village chief have a phone?" Gao Haoran's focus was different.
"Yes, it was just installed at the beginning of the year."
"Dr. Song, please stay and take care of Aunt Qian, and make sure she takes good care of her medicine. I'll go make a call right now and try my best to get Brother Wanli back." Gao Haoran turned to Song Mingfu and said, "Quickly, take me to the village chief's house."
Dr. Song nodded and went into the room, but he was filled with doubt: What kind of friends has Wanli made? The police took him away, and they can release him with just one phone call? I hope he can make it back to see him one last time.
As Song Mingfu led Gao Haoran away from Song Dazhuang's house, they heard an argument inside. "Yang Ping, I never thought you were this kind of person. Song Wanli's house is on fire, you could have just helped put it out, why did you have to call the police? Does it make you look capable?"
"What's wrong? Can't we call the police? They have nothing to hide, so what are they afraid of? I'm going to call the police!" Yang Ping retorted, her voice even sharper.
"Even if there's something going on in their family, it's their family conflict, something to be resolved internally. What's it to you? Once you call the police, the nature of the situation changes. It takes up public resources, police manpower, and it will affect me. Do you even have a brain?" Song Dazhuang wanted to slap his wife twice. Ever since their son started working, she'd been getting too cocky.
Yang Ping retorted, "What does his family's business have to do with you?"
Song Dazhuang said earnestly, "I am the village head of Songjia Village. If anything happens, I am responsible. Didn't I tell you before the New Year? The township head is going to be replaced. I have been the village head for so many years and have some connections. We are about the same age."
In addition, Songjia Village has a good overall atmosphere, everyone is positive and motivated, there is gender equality, and both boys and girls have high college entrance rates, so I have a real chance of being elected. Do you know that our Songjia Village is one of the best in the township? And such a big change is largely due to Zuo Jinyue, Song Tingnan, and Song Wanli.
Especially Song Tingnan's entrance exams for junior high and high school have brought honor not only to our village and township, but also to the entire county. Don't you understand? You're always jealous of Song Wanli and Zhao Xiaojuan making money, but they're just honest business people who haven't done anything to you..."
"Yes, I just can't stand their family, especially Song Tingnan. She's just a girl, the adopted daughter of that cripple Song Wanli. My son came to ask for her hand in marriage, and she actually dared to refuse! I can't swallow this insult."
Look at your son! I've arranged marriages for so many wonderful girls from all around, and he hasn't liked a single one of them. Humph, don't think I don't know. He's still waiting for that brat. I'm going to ruin their whole family, to make them…”
Gao Haoran didn't want to listen anymore. He disdained women who used underhanded tactics behind people's backs. He had nothing to fear and left it to Song Wanli to deal with.
Making a phone call was urgent, so Gao Haoran shouted, "Village Chief, let's make a phone call!"
