Shen Jiayin wanted to ask, but in what manner, she had to think carefully. It wasn't like, because of Shen Grandma, even talking to her had to be done in a particular way. Asking as a younger person seeking advice from an elder wasn't out of the question. However, she was afraid that when she actually made the call, she would turn into a mute.
That was her mom, the mom who had left her for more than twenty years. She didn't know what to say to her.
Arriving at the brigade leader's office, she requested to take back her phone to send a text message. Ku Wenqing happened to be there. Hearing she wanted to send a message to relatives back home, which complied with regulations, he agreed to give it to her. She then composed the message in the office.
Just a few lines of text, but they cost her a lot of brain cells. How to phrase it so it wouldn't seem abrupt. How to say it so it wouldn't involve any official privacy of the other party.
