Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Now all she had to do was buy the liquor. Once it arrived, she could start the production process.

Today, Qin Xue sent Qin Yu out to buy medicinal herbs. Although she had plenty of herbs in her space, she pondered over how she was going to explain to her siblings where they came from. So to distract them, she composed a list and sent Qin Yu to purchase the herbs.

Later, she would simply discard the purchased herbs into her space.

She wondered how her sister was doing at home all alone. Initially, her sister wanted to accompany her, but after much persuasion, Qin Xue managed to convince her to stay at home.

Qin Lei arrived at the town today. He felt something was wrong when he received the telegram from Qin Xue yesterday.

That day, after sending off Qin Yu and the others, he was certain that he sent a telegram to Qin Xue to inform them about it. But the reply telegram from Qin Xue only mentioned that Qin Yu and the others had arrived and that jobs were found for sister Qiu Qin and her brother. However, they seemed to be oblivious that sister Qiu Qin was supposed to be there in the first place.

Today he specifically came to the town to figure out what was going on.

“Hello, I wanted to ask if you send out all the telegrams every day?” Qin Lei inquired the worker as soon as he spotted him.

“Yes, how may I help you?” The employee asked upon observing Qin Lei.

“I sent a telegram to the X Unit in S Province on a particular day but they did not receive it, so I came here to ask why that happened,” Qin Lei explained his purpose of visiting.

“Mister, how do you know they didn’t receive your telegram?” the worker asked after listening to Qin Lei’s question.

“You’ll understand when you see the telegram they sent me.” Qin Lei took out the telegram that Qin Xue had sent and handed it to the worker.

“Look here, the telegram I sent informed the child that her four brothers had left, yet the child responds that she doesn’t know they’ve left. Don’t you think there’s something wrong here?” Qin Lei pointed out the problem.

Upon assessing the content of the telegram, the worker was indeed troubled by the same suspicious point.

“Sir, please wait a moment, I’ll investigate what happened?” The worker could hardly toleratethe thought that they could have made such a blunder.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lei plonked himself on a nearby chair to wait.

It was only after about ten minutes that the worker came over to Qin Lei.

“I’m so sorry, sir. We made a mistake. On the day we sent the telegram, an employee accidentally input one wrong character in the address, so it didn’t get sent. Please accept our apology.” The worker put on a guilty smile, regretting their big mistake.

“You folks really need to be more careful with your work. Luckily in this case, it wasn’t a life-and-death situation. Otherwise, wouldn’t you have caused a delay?” Qin Lei spoke in frustration.

“Yes, yes, you are correct, sir. Can we offer you a refund for the cost of the telegram?” That was the instruction of the manager, so the employee had no choice but to relay it to Qin Lei.

He himself didn’t agree with this way of dealing with the situation. But since the mistake had been made, and it was indeed the fault of an employee, there was little he could do.

Yet the manager hid away and left the resolution to him, a mere worker. If this man turned out to be difficult, it would be hard to settle.

Upon seeing the worker before him being so cautious, Qin Lei thought that everyone has their difficulties and decided to acquiesce. However, he insisted that such mistakes must not occur again in the future. If it were to delay a life-and-death situation, they would be the ones responsible.

Of course, the employee nodded and bowed repeatedly, promising that such errors would not be repeated.
