There are nearly 90 workers in the bamboo weaving factory. After a box of candies, each person only gets 6 or 7 pieces. But everyone is very happy. Many people are even reluctant to eat them and want to take them home to feed their children so that the children can also share in the joy of Yunmo, the top scholar.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Although there was enough room in the dormitory, Yun Mo was worried that Zeng Fang would not be able to get used to the living there, so she found a nice hotel nearby.

After taking a shower and taking a short rest in the hotel, Yun Mo took Zeng Fang to the kebab restaurant where she had eaten with Zhao Yazhi and Zuo Xiaotang last time.

After eating and drinking, Yun Mo packed a lot of food to take to the bamboo weaving factory.

In order to meet deadlines, the bamboo weaving factory had to work overtime until around 9:30 every night.

—

The next day, after breakfast, Yun Mo took the prepared gifts and took Zeng Fang to Zhao's house.

Zhao Yazhi knew in advance that Yun Mo was coming, and was waiting at the door early.

As soon as Yun Mo got out of the car, Zhao Yazhi came forward and gave her a big hug.

"Momo, you finally remembered to come and see me. I missed you so much!"

"Sister Zhizhi, I miss you too."

"Little liar, if you really miss me, you won't call me twice. I'm the one who calls you every time."

"I forgot because I was too busy studying. I was wrong, Sister Zhizhi."

"Okay, I forgive you."

The two of them joked for a while, and Yun Mo introduced Zeng Fang to Zhao Yazhi.

Upon learning that Zeng Fang was Mr. Yao's granddaughter, Zhao Yazhi's expression suddenly became strange.

"You are Mr. Yao's granddaughter, so isn't Yao Cheng your cousin?"

Zeng Fang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Sister Zhizhi, do you know my cousin?"

Zhao Yazhi brushed her hair and said, "More than knowing him, he was pursuing me, but I haven't agreed yet."

Yun Mo and Zeng Fang: "..."

Seeing both of them looking at him awkwardly, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, why are you guys making those faces? Come on, let's go in first. It's so hot outside. I've finally gotten a bit tanned. Please don't tan me any more."

When we entered the Zhao family, Old Mrs. Zhao was also there. She was particularly happy to see Yun Mo as her goddaughter.

Old Mrs. Zhao had guests coming to visit later in the evening, so Zhao Yazhi took the two of them to the small living room upstairs to talk.

As soon as she sat down, Yun Mo curiously asked how Zhao Yazhi and Yao Cheng knew each other.

Zhao Yazhi held the coffee cup and talked about her "bad fate" with Yao Cheng while drinking.

"Your cousin once came back to school to look for someone or something, and was spotted by Shen Shuyi from our class. She was too embarrassed to ask for his phone number, so she asked me for help. As a result, your cousin thought I was interested in him, so he pestered me. Because of this, Shen Shuyi has come to me for trouble several times."

Zeng Fang was very interested, her eyes sparkling, "Sister Zhizhi, is it possible that you will become my cousin's wife in the future?"

"Who can predict what will happen in the future? Anyway, I feel annoyed when I see your eldest cousin now. Every time he comes to see me, Shen Shuyi goes crazy. I am almost annoyed to death."

Although the matter is not definite, it seems that there is still hope.

Downstairs, Mrs. Zhao's guests also arrived. As they chatted, the topic somehow turned to Xu Ke's ex-husband's family.

Xu Ke's ex-husband's surname was Gu, and he was a well-known figure in Anshi political circles. Although the Gu family tried their best to keep a low profile on the matter of divorce with Xu Ke, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable.

"Mrs. Zhao, my nephew who works at the Public Security Bureau said that this matter has something to do with your adopted granddaughter."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but wonder, "How does this have anything to do with my granddaughter? She's not even in Anshi."

"Well, actually it has something to do with your granddaughter's mother. Xu Ke's background and why Madam Gu was willing to let her in, I think everyone knows it, right?

I heard that the Yuan siblings went to the factory run by your granddaughter's mother to cause trouble and were arrested by the police.

Originally, this wasn't a big deal. They could have paid a fine and received a few words of admonition and then been released. But someone from the higher-ups said they couldn't let the brother and sister out to cause trouble again. So, they were sentenced to three months' detention. "

"Is there such a thing?"

The man observed Mrs. Zhao's expression and continued, "Madam, there are so many rumors out there right now, all kinds of rumors are spreading."

It has been hot recently, and Mrs. Zhao has hardly gone out, so naturally she is not aware of the rumors outside.

When he heard that it was related to his godgranddaughter's family, he stopped drinking tea and insisted that the other party give a detailed account.

"I don't need to explain how the Yuan family rose to power. It's said that the man behind the Yuan family was treated unfairly by your granddaughter's mother. The Yuan family was unwilling to accept this, so they secretly made some small moves to anger the man, and then they took down the Yuan family in one fell swoop."

"That's just nonsense!" Old Mrs. Zhao was furious. "My goddaughter is a well-behaved girl, she would never do such a thing!"

The man laughed and said, "It sounds mysterious to me too. I don't know who spread it, but it sounds very convincing."

"Instead of listening to rumors, why not listen to what I, the person involved, have to say?"

Zhao Yazhi told her that it was the hottest time of the year and Mrs. Zhao had a poor appetite. Yun Mo went downstairs to ask the nanny what food was available at home so that she could make a delicious lunch for Mrs. Zhao. Unexpectedly, she overheard gossip about her and Huang Zhiqiu on the stairs.

Amid everyone's surprised and puzzled gazes, Yun Mo walked into the living room with a smile on her face and introduced herself generously.

"Hello, elders. My name is Yun Mo, and I am the granddaughter that Grandma Zhao adopted some time ago. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation of the elders, but since I heard it, as a daughter, I must defend my mother."

Old Madam Zhao quickly pulled Yun Mo to sit next to her, "Good child, let's sit down and talk slowly if we have anything to say."

"Well, thank you, Grandma Zhao."

After sitting down, Yun Mo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and told the truth.

"Twenty years ago, Yuan Jia, together with Xu Ke and several other female employees working in the guesthouse, deceived my father, who had lost his memory due to drunkenness, and made my father mistakenly believe that he had a sexual relationship with Yuan Jia.

Twenty years later, Yuan Jia's lies were exposed. My father found my mother and me and took back everything he had given to the Yuan family. As for the situation of Xu Ke and the others, it had nothing to do with my father. He was not free enough to settle old accounts with these insignificant people.

As for the relationship between my mom and dad, I believe I don't need to explain it any further, right?"

Yun Mo's narration is simple and clear, but the amount of information it contains is enormous.

Everyone's eyes when looking at Yun Mo changed from curiosity to shock.

Only Mrs. Zhao looked at Yun Mo with a look of pity, "My dear child, your mother was such a good daughter, why did she have to live a hard life with you alone? It turns out that someone else had harmed you. That Yuan woman is really a piece of shit, she deserves what she has suffered now! Those rumors outside might have been spread by her."
