For rural areas in the 1960s and 1970s, pregnancy before marriage was an extremely shameful and scandalous thing.
At that time, Yang Xinghua's mother-in-law, Huang Zhiqiu's grandmother, was still alive. She hated the fact that her granddaughter was unmarried and infertile, and she hated the "evil child" Huang Zhiqiu gave birth to. She felt that the family had been ruined.
After the Huang family went to work in the fields, the other party secretly took out their one-month-old great-granddaughter and sold her for five kilograms of dried noodles.
Huang Zhiqiu was so heartbroken when he learned that his daughter had been sold that he fainted on the spot.
Although the Huang family was dissatisfied with the old man's actions, he was an elder in the family and could neither beat nor scold him. They could only endure their anger and ask people to inquire about the whereabouts of the traffickers.
Hard work paid off, and after unremitting efforts, we finally found out that the trafficker had gone to Jiang City.
It's a long way to Jiangshi, and the fare alone is a huge expense that the Huang family cannot afford.
In the end, Huang Zhiqiu sold a jade pendant of unknown origin that he had been carrying with him, and finally he was able to collect the money to travel to Jiang City.
Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.
No one knows what kind of willpower Huang Zhiqiu relied on and how many hardships he went through to finally find the trafficker who "bought" his daughter with five kilograms of dried noodles when he was alone in Jiang City, a place he was unfamiliar with.
At that time, the preference for boys over girls was more serious than it is now. Baby girls were not easy to sell. The traffickers never found a suitable buyer. Seeing that Yun Mo was beautiful, they kept her around and planned to sell her at a high price.
During this period, the trafficker accidentally "picked up" Yunyao again.
Yunyao was taken out by her nanny, but the nanny died of a sudden illness, allowing traffickers to get a "big deal".
After taking Yunyao home, the traffickers plundered all the gold and silver jewelry from Yunyao, then randomly found a house and gave Yunyao to him in vain.
Before sending Yunyao away, the trafficker also took off Yunyao's clothes and put them on Yunmo.
Just like that, when the Yun family came to the door, they saw Yun Mo wearing Yunyao's clothes and mistakenly thought it was Yunyao.
Don't ask why you didn't recognize it. A baby that's a few months old looks the same every day. The Yun family found it after being lost in Yunyao for more than two months. It's not surprising that they can't recognize it.
And coincidentally, Yun Mo and Yun Yao both have moles on the backs of their hands.
The trafficker did not tell the Yun family the truth because they were worried that the Yun family would not let her go if they knew she had given away the real Yun Yao.
The trafficker insisted that he had "picked up" Yunyao on the road and raised the child well, so the Yun family did not hold the trafficker legally responsible.
After the Yun family took Yun Mo away, the trafficker immediately found the person who bought Yun Yao and took Yun Yao back.
After replacing Yunyao, the trafficker hesitated to return Yunyao to the Yun family. At this time, Huang Zhiqiu came to the door and was willing to spend money to redeem his daughter.
The human trafficker would not stop doing anything, and even if he made a mistake, he gave Yunyao to Huang Zhiqiu.
Huang Zhiqiu also had doubts when he saw the dark and thin Yunyao.
Her daughter was very fair and beautiful when she was born, and no matter how much she changed, she would not become so ugly.
It wasn't until he saw the mole on the back of Yunyao's hand that Huang Zhiqiu finally lost his suspicion.
I thought that my daughter might have suffered from malnutrition and become dark and thin. After taking her home and raising her for a while, she would definitely grow back.
In this way, the lives of Yunyao and Yunmo were completely changed.
As for Yun Mo's biological father, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Huang Zhiqiu did not talk about it.
Knowing that Yun Mo had such a life experience, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh and sigh, and at the same time she fell in love with Yun Mo even more.
From a rich young lady to a country girl, she did not stay in the home of her wealthy parents who disliked poverty and loved wealth. Instead, she recognized her biological mother and tried her best to help her and her maternal grandfather's family get out of poverty and become rich.
Old Mrs. Zhao held Yun Mo's hand, her eyes as gentle as those of an elder, "You are a girl of good character. You saved my life. From now on, you will be my step-granddaughter. What difficulties will you encounter in the future?"
, feel free to come to me.”
Yunmo was flattered.
She brought Huang Zhiqiu to visit Mrs. Zhao. She did have the purpose of establishing friendship and friendship, but she didn't want to get such an unexpected surprise.
Yun Mo said with a smile: "Grandma Zhao, being your granddaughter is a blessing I have been blessed with for three lifetimes!"
Mrs. Zhao was so coaxed that she beamed, "Okay, okay, then I will have many good granddaughters from now on."
After saying that, Mrs. Zhao looked at Huang Zhiqiu again, "Zhiqiu, from now on your Momo will be my granddaughter, do you have any objection?"
Huang Zhiqiu quickly shook his head, "It is Momo's blessing to have an elder like you who has both merits and virtues."
After hearing Huang Zhiqiu's words, Mrs. Zhao immediately asked the nanny to take a violet jade bracelet from her room to give to Yun Mo as a meeting gift.
"I bought this bracelet when I was young. Now that I'm old, I can't wear such a pink bracelet. It's just right for you."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao put the bracelet on Yun Mo's wrist.
The bracelet is a peace bracelet with a flat mouth, violet jade with spring colors, and the ring mouth is suitable for Yunmo's hand. The quality is not the best, but the seed is very good. It should be sold for about 2,000 on the market.
It was fine for her to keep such an object, but she had to worry about Zhao Yazhi's mood.
Violet jade is also very suitable for Zhao Yazhi's age.
Seeing Yun Mo looking at him, Zhao Yazhi immediately smiled and showed his wrist, which was also a violet jade.
Looking at the bracelet body and ring, it is obviously a pair with the one on Yun Mo's hand.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and explained: "The Zhizhi one and yours are just a pair. I had people find them a few days ago. I originally wanted to give this one to Candy, but I didn't expect that she ran so fast.
I went back to the capital before I could give it to her."
Hearing this, Yun Mo quickly took off the bracelet.
It is not easy for her to take advantage of things that others leave to her granddaughter.
Old Mrs. Zhao held her hand and said, "Don't pick it off. I'll give it to you. It's yours. This jade is also about fate. One jade waits for its owner. It's rare to find it. Candy has no fate with it."
Hearing this, Yun Mo didn't refuse anymore.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhao. I will wear it well."
"Okay, let's not talk about it. This bracelet is yours. Look at these little hands, which are tender and as white as green onions. You are born to be a wealthy person who enjoys happiness..."
After everyone chatted for a while, the nanny came over to report that there were other visitors. Yun Mo stood up and said goodbye knowingly.
Mrs. Zhao didn't try to persuade her to stay. She just held her and Huang Zhiqiu's hands affectionately and asked them to come and sit at Zhao's house often when they were free.
The visitor was an old lady about the same age as Mrs. Zhao, followed by a middle-aged mother and son.
When the two parties met at the door, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but look at Huang Zhiqiu a few more times.
