Old Mrs. Gong was leaning on the bed eating. After taking the medicine Gong Xiaoyun brought her, the bruises on her face and feet had subsided a little, and the pain was not as severe today.
"Mom, Village Chief Yang said there was a call for you." Yang Daya walked in and said.
When Old Lady Gong heard the call, she immediately knew who was calling. She placed the bowl in her hand on the bedside table and said, "Daya, help me go to Village Chief Yang's house." Village Chief Yang lived next door to hers, and she and Village Chief Yang had some personal connections, so she gave Yaoyao his home phone number. Besides the village committee, only Village Chief Yang's home had a telephone.
With the help of Yang Daya, Old Lady Gong limped to the home of Village Chief Yang. "Village Chief, is the phone still working?"
"He hung up. He said he'd call back in five minutes. Looks like it's almost time," Village Chief Yang said with a smile. When they were young, he and Qingfang had a good relationship. Back then, Qingfang was the most beautiful girl in the village, skilled and nimble. Many men in the production team admired her. But she ended up marrying Gong Laosan.
However, his relationship with her had always been very close in private, and he even knew that her third daughter was his own child. However, only he and Qingfang knew about this.
As she was speaking, the phone rang. Old Mrs. Gong walked over and picked up the phone. "This is He Qingfang."
"I'm Qin Mengyao, and I have something to ask you," Qin Mengyao said coldly. Who did she hate most in this world? It was He Qingfang. Since He Qingfang had given her to her parents, she should have completely disappeared from her world, instead of coming back to her and telling her about her past. She would never acknowledge He Qingfang as her biological mother.
"You say." He Qingfang said happily. As soon as she heard Yaoyao's voice, her mood would become very good.
"Why would Gong Xiaoyun go to Qingliang Temple? And appear right in front of my parents? Does she know something?" Qin Mengyao asked. If she hadn't been alert and immediately pulled her parents away, her parents might have recognized Gong Xiaoyun. There were no such coincidences in the world. Gong Xiaoyun's sudden appearance must have had a purpose.
"What? She met your parents? How is that possible?" He Qingfang asked in surprise. That girl definitely couldn't possibly know her own background, otherwise she would have gone looking for her long ago. But wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Do you know how my parents reacted when they saw her?" Qin Mengyao sneered, "They actually thought she was familiar." Thinking of that moment, her heart became irritated again.
"I don't know. If I knew, I would never let her go." How could she possibly let Gong Xiaoyun destroy her daughter's happiness? That stinky girl was so shameless. She would beat her to death when she came back.
"I don't want to see her again, otherwise you will never let me call you mom in this life." Qin Mengyao said coldly.
"I know what to do. Don't worry, I won't let her see your parents again," He Qingfang promised. Her greatest wish in life was that Yaoyao would recognize her. Yaoyao was so outstanding, so beautiful and smart, she was incomparable to her other children.
"I hope you'll keep your word." Qin Mengyao said, then hung up the phone. If He Qingfang had thrown Gong Xiaoyun away, she wouldn't have to worry about this now. It was all that old woman's fault.
He Qingfang put down the phone and said to Yang Daya, who was waiting beside her, "Da Ya, help me go back." Even if she didn't want a betrothal gift this time, she would get rid of that girl. She would never forgive her for wanting to destroy her daughter's happiness.
When Old Mrs. Gong returned home, she saw that Gong Damei had already come with her husband and two children.
"Grandma! Auntie!" Gong Damei's two children shouted when they saw them. Today is Chinese New Year, and there are lucky money to be received.
"Mom! Sister-in-law!" Gong Damei's husband also greeted her.
"Mom, your foot is healed already?" Gong Damei looked at Old Lady Gong in surprise. The medicine prescribed by the clinic was really effective. Mom was able to walk again after just one day.
Old Mrs. Gong nodded glumly and pulled out two red envelopes from her pocket. "Dabao, Erbao, these are from grandma." She knew her eldest and second sisters would be coming with their children today, so she had prepared the red envelopes last night. Although the money wasn't much, it still made her feel distressed.
"Thank you, grandma!" The two children took the red envelopes and ran out happily.
"Big sister, come with me to my room. I have something to tell you." After saying this, Old Lady Gong looked at Yang Daya. "When Second Sister comes, ask her to come to my room." She had to find that girl as soon as possible and ask her what happened last night. What she wanted to know most was whether that girl knew her own life experience.
"Okay." Yang Daya nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen. This damn old woman was partial and always consulted her daughter on everything.
With the help of Gong Damei, Old Mrs. Gong returned to the room. After lying on the bed, Old Mrs. Gong repeated to Gong Damei what Qin Mengyao had just said on the phone.
"How did she know?" Gong Damei asked in surprise. She also felt that this was not a coincidence. There were so many people going to the temple to pray for blessings, how could it be such a coincidence that they would meet by chance?
"I don't know either. Go call that girl back later and I'll ask her." said Old Mrs. Gong.
"Mom!" Gong Ermei's voice came from outside the door.
Gong Damei walked forward, opened the door, let Gong Ermei in, and then closed the door again.
"Mom, what are you discussing with my eldest sister?" Gong Ermei asked curiously. She was even more worried that her mother would secretly give money to her eldest sister, and then she would lose out.
"Xiaoyun may have already known about her own life experience." Gong Damei said.
"Impossible! How could she know? None of us told her." Gong Ermei said in disbelief.
"It's true. My younger sister just called and told me that Xiaoyun ran into me and my family last night when she went to Qingliang Temple. She even spoke to my parents for a while," said Gong Damei. My younger sister would be her supporter in the future, and she couldn't let Gong Xiaoyun recognize my parents. Fortunately, Xiaoyun would be handed over to that ruthless man tomorrow.
"How can that be? I'll go call Xiaoyun back now and we'll ask her in person." Gong Ermei said as she turned to leave.
"I'll go with you," said Gong Damei, standing up. She was worried her second sister couldn't handle it alone, and her mother had given her a task: to ask the Zhan family for a betrothal gift. Xiaoyun would be handed over tomorrow, and if she didn't get the Zhan family to pay the betrothal gift soon, it would be too late.
