Before, Yun Duo was dark and thin, a tiny girl, as thin as a cat, her face was skin and bones, and you couldn't tell what she looked like. In the past few months, she has been eating well and not doing much work, and she has gained weight in her body and face. Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi can naturally see that their little granddaughter doesn't look like her second son and his wife.
Not only them, but everyone in the village with eyes could probably see it.
However, because the family made money off Yunduo, generally speaking, people from all walks of life—the rich and the poor—always have more confidence. Plus, Yunduo had the county magistrate and Leopard as powerful backers, and due to the villagers' instinct to avoid trouble, no one openly discussed Yunduo's affairs.
Moreover, Zhang Juhua, the most gossipy woman in the village, now only tries to please Yun Duo and refuses to say anything about her because her husband earns some money from the Yun family.
Without this biggest source of rumors, and with the villagers wary, no rumors circulated in the village that Yun Duo wasn't a member of the Yun family. At least, not openly.
As for whether anyone is gossiping about it behind my back, I don't know.
Yunduo was burying her head in the sand, stubbornly believing that as long as she didn't expose the truth, her grandparents wouldn't know. In reality, she was just fooling herself.
Yun Dazheng and his wife initially felt sorry for Yun Duo because she was their own bloodline, their granddaughter. But after spending more than half a year together, whether it was because Yun Duo's abilities had improved their lives or because of her filial piety, the two elderly people's feelings for her had naturally gone beyond simple blood ties.
That's why Yun Qishi said those words today.
However, as the saying goes, it's like burying your head in the sand.
Yun Duo, used to burying her head in the sand, subconsciously avoided the topic. Yun Qi Shi and Yun Da Zheng had already guessed that she wasn't the Yun family's biological granddaughter. She just thought she had stumbled upon a perfect opportunity, believing that her grandmother was being considerate and simply wanted to give her a way out. Therefore, while she was touched, she subconsciously didn't think too much about it.
However, after discussing it briefly with Xiao Jiu, she decided to reveal a little about her and Xiao Jiu's ideas regarding 'postnatal hybrid rice'.
Of course, there's no rush to talk about that now. What she needs to do first is to send the 'return gifts,' which are royal jelly, cured chicken, cured meat, sausages, and the like, to the adoptive parents of this body.
"Grandpa, Grandma, shall I take the things to that lady first? Their car is at the village entrance. If I take them there now, I won't have to go to town. Besides, once they go home, I won't be able to find them even if I go to town." Yun Duo said to Yun Qi Shi and Yun Da Zheng.
"Okay." Madam Yun Qi nodded, propped herself up on the recliner, and tiptoed towards the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "Grandma will get you some sausages and cured meats. But our things are hanging in the kitchen and they're all blackened from the smoke. I don't know if that lady will find them offensive."
Although life is better now and they've prepared some cured meat and sausages, people these days are used to poverty. Even if the family is wealthy, Yun Qishi didn't prepare much. So she simply rubbed salt and spices she picked from the hillside on the fabric and hung it to dry for a few days before hanging it directly above the stove to be smoked with the smoke from cooking every day. She didn't specifically cut down cypress branches or anything like that for separate smoking.
