Mo Shili knew that this was a rare opportunity and also a heavy responsibility.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges she encountered, she would go all out and contribute her own strength to the prosperity of the motherland.
In the past three days, Mo Shili has been busy with various household chores as usual.
Washing clothes, cooking, cleaning... every task was handled by her in an orderly manner.
However, in the past two days, Mo's mother has frequently brought up the same topic with her - the leader of her department.
Mo's mother described the leader vividly: "He lost his wife in middle age and is now thinking about remarrying."
How could Mo Shili not understand the deeper meaning behind her mother's words? She was no fool. At that moment, her heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a heavy hammer.
Faced with her mother's hints and expectations, Mo Shili felt extremely aggrieved and helpless.
She didn't know how to respond, so she could only lower her head silently and shovel rice into her mouth desperately, trying to use this method to cover up her eyes that had long been blurred by tears.
Her heart was filled with pain and resentment, and she kept asking herself: Just because I am not a man, do I have to suffer such unfair treatment?
Over the years, I have worked hard every day and given so much to this family, but in the end, this is how I am treated?
This is all so absurd and ridiculous!
The more Mo Shili thought about it, the more sad and angry she felt, and the chopsticks in her hand unconsciously stopped.
She raised her head and looked at her mother, who was familiar yet unfamiliar to her, and a deep despair surged in her heart.
It seemed that her previous thoughts were indeed correct! After she finished this sumptuous meal, she began to clean up the kitchen in an orderly manner.
She carefully cleaned every dish and placed them neatly; she also wiped away the remaining oil and water stains on the stove until it was spotless.
With her careful care, the whole kitchen became brand new, neat and tidy.
After everything was packed up, she walked into the living room and whispered to Mo's mother who was sitting on the sofa, "Mom, I'm going to work. You have to take good care of yourself at home."
However, Mo's mother felt a little puzzled because her daughter's behavior today seemed different from usual, but she didn't think much about it.
He just casually said, "Well, remember to come back early. The director will be coming to our house for dinner today. When you get off work, buy some extra meat and vegetables. Don't neglect him, okay?"
After hearing what her mother said, Mo Shili turned around and left the house without hesitation without even turning her head.
In fact, she had already made her own plan in mind. It turned out that she had saved a lot of money over the years by living frugally.
Not long ago, a kind colleague quietly told her an important news. It was this news that made her see a ray of hope in life and pointed out a way out for her.
In order to express her gratitude to her colleague, Mo Shili took out half of her savings without hesitation, carefully selected and purchased ten feet of colorful and exquisitely patterned floral cloth.
She wrapped the precious gift beautifully and delivered it to the colleague personally.
After finishing all this, it was already afternoon. Mo Shili, filled with anticipation and longing, boarded the train to the south.
As the train slowly started moving, she looked out the window at the receding scenery, her heart filled with longing and expectation for a better life in the future...
By the time the Mo family found out, it was too late. Mo Shili had already boarded the train to the south. From then on, their family never heard from Mo Shili again.
