Lin Lan hurriedly said, “It’s getting late, go to sleep.”
Since there was a scarcity of contraceptive devices, he should exercise moderation. As the doctor said, the youth should know how to cherish their bodies and exercise appropriate moderation!
However, it was obvious that for Director Han, there was no such thing as temperance.
On the second day, Han Qingsong ate breakfast at home and was not in a hurry to go to work. He first went to work in Lin Lan’s stead before going to see Youth Chen along the way.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t locate him. The other young men mentioned that Youth Chen suddenly received a telegram from his family yesterday which stated that his father was seriously ill. He wrote a letter of introduction and had asked for leave in the middle of the night.
Han Qingsong went to talk to Lin Lan about it.
Lin Lan was anxious, “This scumbag ran away in the middle of the night! I should have broken his leg yesterday!”
She threw the dried sweet potato, “No, we have to go and catch him. If this bastard wants to leave after causing all that crap, it’s not okay.”
Han Qingsong held her arm, “Don’t get angry, I’ll find him for you.”
The best way was for him to catch up to the man in person, but it would be inconvenient to handle the manhunt as a lone ranger. Hence, he rode to the Commune to find Luo Haicheng before making the journey.
He sent a telegram from the Commune to Liu Jianyun, asking him to bring his men to the train station, which would be a faster way to go about it.
Lin Lan had sought out Han Qingsong’s help so the issue wouldn’t be too bad. With that reassurance in mind, she went to seek Dong Huaihua.
Dong Huaihua was also in a panic,”This bastard! For the sake of his reputation, we didn’t place anyone to keep an eye on him. Why did we not think about the fact that he’s nothing but a wimp, running away from the problem just like that?!”
They went to find Xiuyun’s mother first, standing aside to have a talk.
When Xiuyun’s mother heard this, her face turned pale with anxiety, “What do we do about this? My Xiuyun is going to have such a hard life. If her father knew, he would kill her.”
Upon seeing the mother panic just from a situation of this calibre, Lin Lan guessed that she wasn’t the type to be flexible when it came to strategies and plannings. She reminded her to stabilise herself and to not fuss about this issue lest that she would be used by others with malicious intentions.
Xiuyun’s mother slapped her own thighs anxiously, “Aiya, if I knew that things would have ended up this way, I would have… I would have let Xiuyun get together with Old Yang from the Hou Village.”
Old Yang from the Hou Village?
Said man was beaten up when he was a child, so he had some mental problems. Unable to marry even though he’s at an older age, he remained a bachelor to this day.
Besides, older bachelors wouldn’t know much about these things, so it wasn’t unlikely for the wives to instantly be pregnant and have a child 7 or 8 months later. In fact, they didn’t understand nor fear the concept of premature birth.
Lin Lan was also half baffled and half amused regarding? Xiuyun’s mother’s imagination. When encountering a problem, it was already unkind to have someone take the hit instead of dealing with it head on. But as a result, her course of action was to wed off her daughter to a mentally retarded old bachelor.
