Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 173 High Phone Bills

On Monday morning, Zhu Wanling went back to the hospital to complete the resignation procedures. Since she had not worked for more than half a year and had nothing to hand over, she was approved on the spot. After completing the procedures, she bought some biscuits and fruits and went to the nurses' station. After treating everyone to some biscuits and chatting for a while, she reluctantly left the hospital where she had worked for ten years.

"Wanling is back." As soon as Zhu Wanling returned to the Kang family, she heard Xianglan greeting her. She nodded in response, put down her things and started chatting with Xianglan.

Xianglan sighed, "Arui is so good to his wife, you are so happy, just like an old lady."

Zhu Wanling waved her hands and said, "I am also worried about the child. It is inconvenient to work in the hospital from dawn to dusk. And I will not stop working in the future, so I won't talk to him anymore. In fact, my uncle is not bad. He is honest and family-oriented. For your sake, he doesn't even talk to women anymore. It makes me feel safe."

It was originally a business compliment, but Xianglan frowned when she heard it, "Wanling, you just said that Guang doesn't talk to women, but only to men?"

Zhu Wanling didn't notice anything wrong with Xianglan's words, so she nodded and said, "Yeah, he doesn't even look at a woman."

"He only moves around in the male circle?" Xianglan asked again.

"Yes, that's great. Now you can feel relieved." Zhu Wanling remembered that her second sister-in-law said the day before yesterday that Xianglan was worried about Da Lao Guang, so she said this deliberately.

Unexpectedly, Xianglan suddenly started crying, "I have such a miserable life."

Zhu Wanling was so confused that she hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe Xianglan's tears. "What's wrong? Sister-in-law, who offended you?"

"No, I have to ask clearly." Xianglan shouted towards her room: "Husband, come out here." Zhu Wanling was frightened. She said to the big boss who came out: "Uncle, I... I didn't do anything. It has nothing to do with me."

"Husband, tell me the truth, don't hide it from me, I know everything." Xianglan said crying.

Da Lao Guang looked at Zhu Wanling, and Zhu Wanling quickly waved her hand to indicate that it really had nothing to do with her. Da Lao Guang had no choice but to say, "Wife, what's the matter?"

Xianglan continued to cry, "Tell me the truth, why do you ignore women?"

"That's it?" Big Brother Guang immediately relaxed. "It's just to make you happy. No, I have never had any interest in women."

Xianglan didn't see the big boss's words of loyalty as such. She cried even harder, "That's terrible. You must have been infected by that homosexual."

Zhu Wanling was stunned. She couldn't understand how this could happen. She just picked up her things and went back to her room. Kang Qirui was watching over the sleeping Kang Siqi in the room. When he saw Zhu Wanling open the door and come in, he whispered, "Shh, the child just fell asleep."

"Your sister-in-law's condition is getting worse. A few days ago, she didn't allow your uncle to talk to other women. Now your uncle doesn't talk to women. She thinks your uncle is a lesbian." Zhu Wanling complained in Kang Qirui's ear.

Kang Qirui couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and Zhu Wanling continued to complain: "Don't you think she is redundant? She only suspects that her husband is gay after she has a child."

"Let's not talk about them. How about you go back and resign today? Did it go smoothly?" Kang Qirui changed the subject and didn't want to discuss the matter of Lao Guang and Xianglan.

"It went smoothly. I hadn't been to work for a long time. When I mentioned it today, the administrative department approved it immediately and all the formalities have been completed." Zhu Wanling took out documents from her bag.

Kang Qirui didn't pick it up and asked Zhu Wanling to put it away herself.

What surprised Kang Qirui was that Xianglan didn't have any mood swings for a while. After dinner that day, when watching TV in the living room, he and his second sister-in-law Sachiko and others wondered if Xianglan had recovered.

"I didn't think so until you said it, but now I remember it. I don't think I've heard my eldest sister-in-law cry in the past few days." The second sister-in-law said while checking Tianxiu's homework. The second brother hasn't come back yet, so she has to check Tianxiu's homework. Siyu is temporarily left to the nanny.

"Yaaaaaa" Kang Siqi in Kang Qirui's arms can't speak yet, but she already understands things. She finds the pictures on TV very interesting and speaks her own language. Kang Qirui doesn't know what his daughter is saying, but he just laughs along.

He was playing with his daughter and had no time to respond to his second sister-in-law, so Zhu Wanling continued her second sister-in-law's words, "That's good. I was scared when I saw her crying easily a few days ago, afraid that I would say something wrong and make her cry."

Just as the second sister-in-law was about to speak, the second brother came back. As soon as he came back, he threw a tissue in his hand at the chair, holding a stack of papers and yelled: "Who is such a big prank?"

The noise he made when he came back scared Kang Siqi so much that she started crying. She stopped watching TV and huddled in Kang Qirui's arms. Zhu Wanling saw her daughter's condition and took her back to her room. The second sister-in-law quickly said, "Did you take the wrong medicine? You scared Siqi. Fortunately, Siyu was in the room and her grandmother was coaxing her to sleep, otherwise both sisters would have been scared to tears by you." "I took the wrong medicine? I doubt you know who took the wrong medicine. You made so many calls, were you the one who made them?" The second brother angrily retorted to the second sister-in-law.

The second sister-in-law was really angry. "How can I have time to call? I am at home taking care of two children every day. I don't even have time to go to the toilet. How can I call?"

"Yumi, is that you? You have nothing to do all day long and just talk on the phone." The second brother changed the target. Yumi was still in a daze, and Sachiko became unhappy, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. Yumi follows me to work every day and never leaves my side. I haven't seen her make a phone call." After Sachiko became pregnant, Yumi became her little assistant.

Kang Qirui said, "Second brother, you blame this and that as soon as you come back, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Do you know how much the phone bill is this month?" The second brother was holding a phone bill, and he handed it to Kang Qirui, "More than two thousand yuan."

"More than 2,000?" Kang Qirui took the call receipt with a shocked look on his face. "Hey, why did this number get called so many times in the past few days? Second brother, call and see who it is."

He pointed to a phone number that appeared multiple times on the phone list and showed it to Er Lao, who picked up the phone. As soon as he picked up the receiver, Xiang Lan's voice came: "Hello, is this the voice mail service? I just want to ask how to feed this kid so that he can be smarter."

The second brother turned on the speakerphone for everyone to listen, and Kang Qirui understood everything at once. No wonder Xianglan hadn't been making trouble these days. She used to chat with people in the room every day. The eldest brother Guang just walked out of the room, and when he came out, he said, "Wife, can you ask what we're going to eat tomorrow?"

The second brother pulled him over and asked, "Has the eldest sister-in-law been calling for consultation all day recently?"

The eldest brother just nodded, and the second brother continued to ask: "Is it because of the consultation call that she is in a much better mood recently?"

The eldest brother just kept nodding with a smile on his face: "Yeah, as long as she is happy, I don't have to worry. Haha." But the second brother couldn't laugh anymore. He sighed and said, "The problem is that your younger brother is worried now, do you know that?" He directly spread out the phone bill, which was longer than his height.

The boss was shocked. "Why is this phone bill as long as a piece of cloth?"

"I also want it to be shorter, you know?" Er Lao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This month's phone bill is over 2,000 yuan."

You should know that A-Zu now works in a foreign-funded company and earns only more than 3,000 yuan a month.

"Is the telephone bill at the information desk so expensive?" The boss's mind was buzzing, "What should I do?"

"What should we do?" The second brother handed the phone bill to the eldest brother, "Go to the telecommunications bureau to pay."

"You want me to pay more than 2,000 yuan?" Da Lao Guang said at a loss, "Do you want me to go out and beg for food with my son on my back?"

The second brother was speechless. He said angrily, "What else? Should I go and pay it? It was your wife who beat him, not mine."

Kang Qirui also felt that it was Da Lao Guang who should pay. More than 99% of the yuan phone bill was incurred by Xianglan calling the voice service station. It really didn't make sense to let the family share the cost. He said to Da Lao Guang, "Big Brother, I won't help you this time."

"And I'm not saying anything bad about you. Didn't the doctor at my sister-in-law's patient's home tell her to talk to her more, take her out more often, and make sure she's not so bored? Look, they're having a good chat on the call center. My sister-in-law looks happy now."

Big Brother Guang said: "Yes, she is happy. Now I am the one who is unhappy."

Kang Qirui waved his hand, interrupting the boss and said, "Boss, I haven't finished yet. The other person on the call center can chat with the sister-in-law so well and make her happy. How come you, as a husband, can't do it? Don't just think about the phone bill. You need to reflect on yourself more."

"Otherwise, the subsequent phone bills will really crush you."

Have you ever called a voicemail station (or something similar) before?

I remember there was a channel on TV for playing games. You could call in and control it through the buttons on the phone, which was like the phone was a handle.

I was having fun at home every day, but at the end of the month, my phone bill was over 4,000 yuan, and I was beaten up by my parents.
If anyone has had this experience, please give me a 1, hahahaha
