Because cell phones weren't very popular yet, Lin Chan took out his mobile phone intending to call Xing Ye and the others, only to realize there was no signal in the village. He asked He Dongxue where the He Family's landline was and planned to use it to make a call to the capital.
Unexpectedly, just as he performed the actions of taking out and putting away the mobile phone, Second Aunt He spotted it. She practically flew over, swiftly snatching the phone right out of Lin Chan's hands. Truly snatched it and held it up like it was a treasure.
"Oh my! Is this a mobile phone? You must be loaded to afford something like this! In our village, the only phones we have are at the small convenience store, the village chief's place, and Dongxue's family. And here you are, using a mobile phone!"
