Old Wang ignored Lin He and took out her old-fashioned mobile phone to make a call.
Lin He couldn't hear who she was talking to, but she could vaguely see the familiar black phone.
Previously, Old Wang had often complained about her phone being unusable and how other elderly women in the village had upgraded to new phones. She had expressed a desire to get a new one.
Worried about the old woman, who lived alone, Lin He had secretly saved money from recycling scrap materials for a year to buy her a phone.
However, on the way to purchase the phone, Zhou Nan unexpectedly found out.
He accused Lin He of hiding so much money secretly and shifted all the blame for the lack of savings in their household onto her, accusing her of theft.
But actually the money in their household was insufficient because Zhou Nan had squandered it all on gambling, leaving just enough for daily expenses.
