With Mo Shili's resolute departure, the entire Mo family instantly fell into chaos. Mo's mother, who had lived a life of luxury and had never been involved in household chores for many years, now looked at the mess before her and seemed a little at a loss.
And what about Mo's father? He still maintained his old, easygoing lifestyle, as if the family's misfortunes had nothing to do with him. Faced with this situation, Mo's mother was left to shoulder all the burdens alone.
After days of relentless toil, Mo's mother finally gave in and collapsed from exhaustion. During the day, she had to force herself to go to work at the textile factory; then, at night, when she returned home, she was faced with a mountain of household chores. This intense double pressure and torture was too much for her to bear.
During this period, Mo's mother asked around for Mo Shili's whereabouts, but she found nothing. At the same time, Mo Shihao was hospitalized due to illness, and as a mother, she had to take time out every day to bring him food.
In order to get information about her daughter, Mo's mother even went to Mo Shili's former workplace several times without any regard for her dignity, causing a scene and throwing a tantrum. However, despite her best efforts, the other party still claimed to be ignorant.
Not only that, because Mo's mother made too much noise, it seriously affected the normal office order of the company. People could no longer tolerate it and made a harsh threat: If she dared to come and make trouble and interfere with everyone's work again, she would be rude to her!
After hearing this warning, Mo's mother, who always bullied the weak and feared the strong, immediately became obedient and never dared to go there and ask for trouble again.
At this critical moment, the Public Security Bureau officers entered with steady and resolute steps. After a protracted, multi-day investigation, they finally presented their findings to Mo's mother. However, this was the conclusion Mo's mother hated to hear and could not accept: Mo Shili had already embarked on a journey south, bound for the distant south to learn new skills. It was said that once she had completed her studies, she would likely settle down there, severing all ties with Beijing.
When Mo's mother heard this devastating news, she felt as if her whole world had collapsed. She couldn't understand how a simple desire for her daughter to meet the factory director could lead to such serious consequences.
Anger and despair surged in her heart like a tide. Mo's mother rushed to the agency that had approved Mo Shili's overseas assignment without hesitation to seek an explanation for her daughter.
However, in the face of Mo's mother's questioning, the agency staff remained remarkably calm. They asserted that Mo Shili's overseas assignment was voluntary and she had explicitly agreed to it, and that the agency had never forced her to do anything.
Moreover, Mo Shili was already 18 years old and a legal adult, so she should be responsible for her actions and bear the consequences. Therefore, all the demands made by Mo's mother at this moment were completely unreasonable.
Not only had Mo Shili begun a new work life in the south, but the authorities were also completely unaware of the specific factory she had been assigned to. However, out of humanitarian concern, the police in Beijing offered to issue a certificate for Mo's mother, allowing her to travel south in person to search for Mo Shili.
However, Mo's father firmly rejected Mo's mother's request. If Mo's mother left home, it would mean no one would provide him with three meals a day. Furthermore, given his current financial situation, he simply didn't have enough money to afford frequent canteen dining. Therefore, out of self-interest, Mo's father unhesitatingly rejected Mo's mother's idea of looking for Mo Shili.
This matter ultimately came to an end, and for Mo's mother, the real hardship had just begun...
Turning to Mo Shili, she and the many other women workers who had come to the south with her were all struck by the vibrant development they saw. While much of the country remained impoverished, backward, and desolate, this region had already pioneered a wave of large-scale research, development, and application of new technologies.
Looking at this land full of vitality and hope, they all felt a strong sense of belonging deep in their hearts, and each of them longed to put down roots here. After all, most of these women workers came from less than happy families. Otherwise, who would be willing to leave their hometown and go to this foreign land thousands of miles away?
When they set foot in this unfamiliar land, a brand new life slowly unfolded. Here, they began their journey of learning new technologies, and in the process, they made one surprising discovery after another.
They were surprised to find that they could actually enjoy a bed to themselves, without having to squeeze in with others. In the past, the cramped space made it difficult for them to even turn over, but now everyone has their own cozy little world.
What is even more exciting is that the wages received no longer need to be turned in in full, and most of them can be used to purchase delicious food, fashionable clothes and various practical daily necessities.
All these changes seem like a dream. Although they are currently apprentices with meager wages, they are already full of contentment in their hearts.
Now, every working day is filled with laughter and joy. After all, they have finally found a sense of belonging. After a hard day's work, they can go out and play together, and no longer have to face the heavy housework that piles up and never ends.
For them, their current work was a life of comfort only gods could enjoy. No longer had to worry about feeding the whole family, nor did they have to be ordered around like cattle.
