Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, thinking about the character of her eldest son Li Hongwei and the outspoken personality of her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang, and she couldn't help but calm down.

She had no way of telling anyone that Li Hongyan was not her biological daughter.

Because she had no evidence.

Li Pingwang, this shameless man, would definitely choose to throw dirty water on Liang Xiuqing in order to protect her daughter, saying that she refused to acknowledge her biological daughter whom she raised for the sake of money.

Li Yutong looked at her grandmother's face, which was getting darker and darker, and couldn't help but said, "Grandma, I have a suggestion for you about this matter. Do you think it's okay?"

Chen Xiaoying trusted her granddaughter very much: "You say."

Li Yutong said, "Grandma, now I understand what my grandma meant. She said that if I told you, you would be the one who suffered the loss."

"That means you put so much effort into raising my aunt, and now it's time for her to be filial to you and make sacrifices for you, but you draw a line between you and her instead. Isn't that just right? You're at a disadvantage, aren't you?"

“It’s better to pretend you know nothing.”

I have to say that the advice given by my mother-in-law, Old Lady Liu, makes sense.

However, Chen Xiaoying couldn't help but tear up: "But I... I still want to know where your dear aunt has gone..."

That was the first child she gave birth to, and she didn't even get to hold her before that damn Li Pingwang took her away to who knows where.

Li Yutong thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, then only my grandfather knows about this."

"Go ask him?" Chen Xiaoying thought, "But if he doesn't admit it..."

"Grandma, he has something to hide. In order to protect Li Hongyan's reputation, he will definitely tell it. I'm just afraid that he is not telling the truth." Li Yutong said worriedly.

Her grandfather was a man with a twisted personality, selfish and heartless. He took away her first child without mercy, which showed how cruel he was.

Chen Xiaoying fell silent.

Her granddaughter Li Yutong was also thinking about what to do about this matter.

The grandparents thought about it for a long time and came up with the same idea.

"Li Hongyan."

Yes, only if Li Hongyan takes the initiative to ask Li Pingwang, will he tell her.

It is impossible for the rest of the people to learn the truth from him.

But how could Li Hongyan cooperate?

She was the one who was determined and believed that she was Chen Xiaoying's biological daughter and would never dig a hole for herself.

Even when she knows that she is not her biological child, she will still use her cunning and selfish nature to do many things that hurt others and herself.

Li Yutong thought this was too difficult, but her grandmother Chen Xiaoying suddenly remembered something: "There is something I didn't take seriously, so I didn't tell you."

"What's the matter?" Li Yutong was curious.

Chen Xiaoying looked at her granddaughter solemnly, "Some time ago, Li Hongyan came to me and asked about someone. She said that person's name was Xiuqing."

Li Yutong was stunned: "What? She asked about Liang Xiuqing herself?"

"At first, I didn't take it seriously. I thought she was asking about someone else. According to the accents of the people here, Xiuqing, Xiuqin, and Xiuying, it's easy to confuse them. But now thinking back to how she was trying to cover up, it's very likely that the person she was asking about was Liang Xiuqing." Chen Xiaoying's face turned cold: "That's strange. How did she know about Liang Xiuqing?"

Li Yutong pondered for a moment and said, "Grandma, then I can only ask my grandfather for help."

Given her aunt Li Hongyan's nature, she would not be able to endure it for long if she knew there was profit to be made. This means that she only recently got to know about Xiuqing.

Chen Xiaoying also agreed with her granddaughter's guess: "Then let's analyze it from your grandfather's perspective. Li Hongyan only knows Xiuqing and she was hiding it from me. She must have accidentally got the news from your grandfather..."

Having said that, her mind gradually became clearer.

"I know. Your grandfather still has some of Liang Xiuqing's things in his hand, at least some notes or something, and Li Hongyan saw them." Chen Xiaoying gritted her teeth in anger: "What a shameless beast."

Knowing this, Li Yutong also knew where to dig out this secret.

"Grandma, our old house is so small. Otherwise, let's call my grandpa out and go look for it?" Li Yutong said.

Since there is a note, go and look for anything else.

Chen Xiaoying nodded.

It just so happens that Li Pingwang will come to talk to her tomorrow.

"...your master will come to my place tomorrow, and you can go to his room and look for the things."

After the grandparents and grandson discussed what to do about the matter, they felt much relieved.

"Don't let your dad and the others know about this until we figure it out." Chen Xiaoying sighed and said, "Your dad and your uncles, all of them combined are no match for Li Hongyan. Don't let them know and alert them."

Li Yutong smiled. She didn't want to alert the enemy. If her third uncle Li Hongqiang knew about this, he would be eager to stand on the side of Li Hongyan.

Li Pingwang didn't know yet that the secret he was hiding had been known by more than one person.

Now he lives alone in the house and doesn't have to be shy about the old woman Chen Xiaoying.

From time to time, he would take out Liang Xiuqing's letters and addresses to read, reminiscing about his lost youth and the feelings hidden in his heart.

Li Yutong returned to the village.

Her mother Liu Lanxiang was quite surprised: "The store is about to open, why are you back?"

"Nothing, I'm just coming back to stay for two days." Seeing her mother looking like nothing happened, Li Yutong was surprised: "Mom, didn't my grandpa come to see my dad these two days?"

"No." Liu Lanxiang said unhappily, "When your grandfather comes to see your father, it's always bad news. I hope he never comes again."

Li Yutong nodded, it was indeed the case.

Whenever her grandfather stepped into her house, he would ask her father to do something.

There had never been any benefit that he could think of giving to his eldest son.

Li Yutong was helping her mother cook and was thinking, her grandfather was going to talk to her grandmother about something tomorrow.

An old man with a hunched back walked in from the courtyard gate, with a torn towel around his neck that was so washed that the color couldn't be seen. Who else could it be but her grandfather Li Pingwang?

"...Master, you are here. Have you eaten?" Li Yutong asked after hesitating for a moment.

Li Pingwang said, "Don't worry about it. I made a lot of noodles at noon. When it gets dark, just heat them up and eat a bowl. Where's your dad?"

Hearing the noise, Liu Lanxiang, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, came out. Seeing the old man, she felt annoyed, but she couldn't help but say something: "Hongwei is still in the field. He probably won't be back for a while."

Li Pingwang nodded and said, "When he comes back, tell him that I will ride his motorcycle with him to the city to talk to his mother tomorrow, and ask him to wait for him at home tomorrow morning."

"What's the matter?" Liu Lanxiang couldn't help but ask.

"It has nothing to do with you, why are you asking so many questions?" Li Pingwang said with a frown, then he put his hands behind his back and walked away.
