After the list was posted, Ye Li and Zhou Lin stayed in Aunt Jiang's communication room, observing the scene to see if there was anything unusual. As a result, they saw Aunt Liu talking to Cuicui.
"Your mother knew Cuicui before?"
"I don't know them. I don't think they are familiar with each other. Could it be that Cuicui stole the test paper and sold it to my mother?" Zhou Lin analyzed with narrowed eyes.
Ye Li and Zhou Lin couldn't hear clearly what Aunt Liu and Cuicui were saying in the message room, and could only judge from the expressions on their faces when they spoke.
"If they didn't know each other before, then it's very likely that Cuicui is the suspect."
"Well, it's very likely."
Ye Li glanced at Aunt Liu who was still standing at the factory gate and asked casually, "Does your mother know that Zhang Hui was kicked out for cheating on the exam?"
"I don't know. I saw the atmosphere at home was very harmonious yesterday, it didn't seem like anything was wrong." Zhou Lin recalled.
"Zhang Hui is a double-faced person. You should be careful at home in the future." After giving the instructions, Ye Li walked out of the message room. Who would have thought that Aunt Liu would come back and knock on the window of the message room.
...
...
"Zhou Lin! Open the door for me! I have something to ask you!" Aunt Liu saw Zhou Lin in the message room and called her loudly.
"She doesn't have the authority to open the door for you. I am responsible for deciding whether to open the door for you!" Aunt Jiang shouted to Aunt Liu through the window.
"Mom, just ask directly if you have anything to ask." Zhou Lin imitated Aunt Jiang and asked towards the window.
"Let me ask you, was Zhang Hui kicked out for cheating in the exam?" At this point, Aunt Liu didn't care about being embarrassed anymore and asked Zhou Lin directly.
Hearing her mother's question, Zhou Lin glanced at Ye Li, then nodded at Aunt Liu.
"I'm so angry! After searching for a long time, I found out that it was Zhang Hui who cheated me! I'm going to go back and settle the score with her!" After hearing Zhou Lin's affirmative answer, Aunt Liu trotted back to the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Liu sat on a stool and slapped the table hard and shouted, "Zhang Hui! Come out!"
Zhang Hui was playing Gobang with Zhou Zhou. When she heard Aunt Liu's unfriendly tone, she immediately stopped smiling, got up and left the room.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Who has offended you? Tell me and I will vent your anger for you!" Zhang Hui pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth. She ran behind Aunt Liu and patted her on the back to calm her down.
"Come here! Zhang Hui, ah, Zhang Hui, how could you lie to me! You've embarrassed me so much today!" Aunt Liu saw Zhang Hui's innocent expression and wanted to scold her harshly, but the words changed their tone when they reached her lips, and only blame remained.
"Mom... I know I was wrong. I was also afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear the blow after knowing it, and that you would get sick from being angry." Seeing that the other party already knew about her affairs, Zhang Hui immediately admitted her mistake and did not give the other party a chance to blame her.
"You! If I hadn't asked them to return the money today, I would still be in the dark! What are you afraid of if you were caught? Just tell me. I can't do anything to you!" Aunt Liu felt that she was so stupid. She had been bragging to Aunt Li yesterday about her daughter-in-law's good test scores.
Now think about it, I was such an idiot!
"Mom, calm down. I just had bad luck. There were a lot of people cheating in that exam, but Ye Li didn't catch anyone else but me. I was also very angry. I was thinking if I had offended Ye Li before that made her target me like this!" Zhang Hui said and put the blame on Ye Li.
"real?"
"Really! You don't know, I didn't have the courage to cheat at first, but I saw others taking out their cheat sheets openly, and the invigilators like Ye Li didn't care. I thought if everyone was cheating, I would be at a disadvantage if I didn't, and I couldn't let your money go to waste, so I took out the cheat sheets just in case and took a look. Who knew that I would be caught by Ye Li as soon as I took it out, and she drove me away in front of so many people." Zhang Hui became more and more excited as she spoke, and even squeezed out two tears.
"Mom, I just arrived at the courtyard, it's impossible for me to have a grudge with Ye Li. Ye Li must be disgusted with you, and is using my exam to retaliate against you! On the surface, I lost face, but in reality, it's a slap in your face, mom!" Zhang Hui's analysis was very logical, and she had already diverted the shield from herself to Ye Li. She successfully covered up her own mistakes.
"How ridiculous! I have long disliked Ye Li. This woman is so scheming. She even wants to use you to retaliate against me! Don't worry, Zhang Hui. Doesn't Ye Li just want to see us quarrel and fall out? I will never give in to her wishes! This matter has just passed, and I will not pursue your responsibility. In the future, you should be more careful and don't let Ye Li seize the opportunity to retaliate against us!" Aunt Liu felt that Zhang Hui's analysis was very reasonable. After Zhang Hui's eloquent explanation, Aunt Liu actually felt that Zhang Hui was implicated by herself.
"Okay, I'll remember it, Mom!" Seeing that Aunt Liu's anger had mostly subsided, Zhang Hui immediately wiped away the two tears that had been squeezed out from the corners of her eyes.
"Just stay at home for the time being, and go back to work when you get a better job."
"Okay mom."
After seeing Aunt Liu return to the house, Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. The issue of the exam was finally over with her mother-in-law.

That night, Cuicui went to work the night shift. She saw that the light was still on in Ye Li's room and concluded that he must be staying up all night to prepare the test papers for the re-examination. So Cuicui went to the toilet twice during the night shift, waiting for Ye Li to leave so that she could secretly copy the test papers.
When her co-workers saw Cuicui going to the toilet so frequently, they started to make fun of her. "Cuicui, you're not keeping track of your butt today. Why do you keep going to the toilet?"
"How can you talk like that! I have a stomachache today, so what if I have to go to the toilet a few more times? How can you make fun of others like that?" When Cuicui heard her coworkers making fun of her, she immediately fought back.
"You don't look like you have a stomachache. What are you doing in the bathroom? Are you secretly flirting with Daqiang?"
"Bullshit! I am not attracted by Daqiang's burly appearance! Get to work and stop joking." Cuicui glared at the other person angrily and continued working.
Cui Cui saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning. Thinking that Ye Li should have gone back, she made an excuse to go to the bathroom and ran to check on the situation in Ye Li's office.
Seeing that the lights in Ye Li’s office were off, Cuicui’s heart began to beat wildly. Her chance had come again!
Cuicui sneaked to the door of Ye Li's office and easily opened the door with the key.
The room was dark, and Cuicui didn't dare to turn on the light. She groped her way to Ye Li's desk, and with the moonlight outside, she saw the test paper she was looking for. Cuicui took out the paper and pen she had brought with her, took out a small flashlight, and went under the desk to start copying the questions.
There were very few questions this time, and the answers were included. It was great. It took Cuicui only ten minutes to finish copying the test paper. She put the paper and pen back in her pocket. After putting the test paper back on the table, she locked the door and quickly ran back to the workshop to continue working as if nothing had happened.
Two pairs of eyes gleamed in the darkness...
