Hao Ying finally figured out how Ye Li was getting money, and these past few days she had been waiting to catch Ye Li's evidence so she could report her!
As soon as Hao Ying walked out of the alley, she saw a familiar figure. She was startled and subconsciously hid behind a big elm tree.
"Brother Guan, did you just get off work?"
"Yes, I came back after finishing my work in the factory today."
Guan Shipeng greeted the aunties from the next yard. Although Guan Shipeng had only been here for two or three days, the aunties around him had already remembered him.
Hao Ying hid behind a big tree and couldn't believe her eyes. Why did Uncle Guan come here? And he came to the courtyard!
Could it be that he came to find Ye Li?
Hao Ying suddenly felt jealous. Why hadn't she heard her mother mention Uncle Guan coming?
Thinking of this, Hao Ying decided to continue observing to see whether Guan Shipeng came to see Ye Li or to do other things.
...
...
Guan Shipeng walked into the courtyard carrying his briefcase. Hao Ying took a look and realized that this was Ye Li's residence!
Unexpectedly, Uncle Guan really came to look for his biological daughter. Hao Ying felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife, and blood rushed to her head in an instant. She was about to walk into the courtyard angrily, but when she reached the door, her reason prevailed and she retreated back.
Now is not the time to act impulsively. Her plan has not been completed yet and she cannot give up halfway.
So Hao Ying turned around and walked away. When Hao Ying returned to her residence, she called her mother.
"Mom, do you know who I saw today?"
"Who is it?"
"It's Uncle Guan! He's here too!"
"Yeah, I know. Since your uncle Guan has passed away, why are you still staying there? Come back."
Chai Ruixiang's tone was flat, and it seemed that she already knew that Guan Shipeng had come back to find Ye Li.
"Mom, you are so calm! Aren't you angry at all? What happened to Uncle Guan? Did he abandon us?"
Hao Ying became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She and her mother had lived with Guan Shipeng for more than ten years, but what happened? As soon as Guan Shipeng retired, he went back to look for his biological daughter. What were the two of them to Guan Shipeng?
"What do you mean by abandoning or not? Your idea is wrong! If it weren't for your Uncle Guan taking care of us all these years, would we be living like this today? Come back soon and stop causing trouble for your Uncle Guan."
Chai Ruixiang urged her daughter to return to the northwest and stop targeting Ye Li. But Hao Ying refused to listen, believing that it was her mother's concession that led to the current situation.
If her mother had been a little more domineering and enthusiastic, Guan Shipeng might have become her father.
"Mom, Uncle Guan has taken care of us for so many years and treated me like his own daughter. What does that mean? It means that he has us in his heart. We are such a harmonious family. How could you let Uncle Guan leave?"
Hao Ying ignored Chai Ruixiang's words and continued to talk on her own. Soon the mother and daughter started arguing.
"Hao Ying! Don't be so ignorant anymore. Come back quickly before you make a big mistake! You know Ye Li is the most important person to Uncle Guan. If you do something to Ye Li, Uncle Guan will never forgive you! Listen to mom and come back quickly!"
Chai Ruixiang was so angry at Hao Ying's words. She never thought that Hao Ying could be so stubborn and insisted on turning Guan Shipeng into her father.
However, Chai Ruixiang could understand Hao Ying. After all, she lost her father when she was very young. She had been taken care of by Guan Shipeng for many years and had already regarded Guan Shipeng as her own father. She could not accept the fact that Guan Shipeng had left them for a while.
But Chai Ruixiang was a smart person who understood the situation. She knew that Guan Shipeng only helped her and Hao Ying as friends and there was no love between them. So when Chai Ruixiang knew that Guan Shipeng was leaving, she did not stop him.
"I won't go back! Mom, you are too cowardly. You obviously like Uncle Guan, but you just don't dare to take a step forward. Since you don't dare, I do! I must touch Ye Li, and you can't persuade me!" After saying that, Hao Ying hung up the phone. She had just had an argument with her mother and was very emotional at this moment, with her hands shaking.

Guan Shipeng greeted several aunties along the way before entering the backyard. When he got home, he put his briefcase on the table and poured himself a glass of water and started drinking.
But he spat it out as soon as he took a sip. He quickly picked up the glass and looked at the water in the glass, and found a clue.
"What kind of water is this?" Guan Shipeng remembered that he made a pot of plain water and poured it into the kettle before going out today.
But why is the water red? It also smells like beans.
"Brother Guan is back." Aunt Jiang came to find Guan Shipeng with a tattered stool in her hand.
"You're back, what do you want to talk to me about?" Guan Shipeng opened the lid of the kettle and looked inside, and found that the water in the kettle was red. He was confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Yes, I have something to talk to you about."
Aunt Jiang suddenly laughed when she saw Guan Shipeng's puzzled expression, causing Guan Shipeng to look at her.
"Brother Guan, stop looking. There's mung bean soup in the kettle. The weather has been hot recently, and I thought drinking some mung bean soup would help relieve the heat, so I poured it into the kettle for you." Aunt Jiang said while staring at Guan Shipeng.
The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. How could an old man be so handsome? He could seduce anyone.
"So that's it. I thought there was something wrong with the water. Thank you, you are so thoughtful. Do you want me to help fix the stool?" Guan Shipeng was immediately happy when he heard that this was the reason. He took the stool from Aunt Jiang and prepared to fix it.
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? I haven't even thanked you properly for helping our Xiuxiu. Brother Guan, please stop calling me "your" all the time. My full name is Jiang Chunying, you can just call me Xiaoying from now on." After saying this, Aunt Jiang covered her mouth and laughed embarrassedly.
"Oh my, it's Xiaoying again. It's more like Laoying. My teeth are sore! Aunt Jiang, when did you become so gentle? I really didn't recognize you just now."
As soon as Zhao Xingmei entered the room, she heard Aunt Jiang's words, which made her feel itchy all over.
"Go to hell! What's your business? Just do what you need to do!"
When Aunt Jiang saw Zhao Xingmei coming to disrupt the situation, she immediately returned to her usual fierce self.
"That's right! This is your usual style. Stop being so pretentious. It's so uncomfortable to watch!" Zhao Xingmei shook her head with a look of disgust on her face.
"I... I am usually so gentle. If you don't like it, just look away." Aunt Jiang suddenly realized that she had lost her composure and quickly returned to her previous state.
"It's a scarf. Oh, it's made of wool. Aunt Jiang, it's summer now. Aren't you afraid of getting prickly heat? Hahahaha."
Only then did Zhao Xingmei realize that Aunt Jiang had altered her winter scarf into a big bow and tied it around her neck. It was so funny. She didn't know what was wrong with Aunt Jiang's brain!
"You don't understand. This kind of dressing has become very popular overseas recently. Don't embarrass yourself here, you country bumpkin. Go back quickly and don't disturb me, Brother Guan, while he's fixing his horse."
Aunt Jiang was so embarrassed by Zhao Xingmei's sarcasm that she started to drive Zhao Xingmei away.
"I have something important to discuss with my in-laws!"
