She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

The man hurriedly pulled out a flashlight and shone it directly on Old Lady Xia's face. But with so many people in the factory area, not everyone would recognize Old Lady Xia. For example, when the man realized she was an unfamiliar old woman, he immediately felt relieved. "What are you doing hiding here, you little old lady? Are you trying to steal something?"

After seeing Old Lady Xia's face, Qiao Yi completely gave up hope.

Grandma Xia was caught off guard when the flashlight shone into her eyes. The brat didn't even move it away, and it almost blinded her. When she heard that the brat had not only done something bad but also tried to blame her, she was furious. She immediately walked up to him and snatched the flashlight away.

"You bastard, you did bad things and now you want to blind me?" Old Mrs. Xia raised her flashlight and shone it directly into the man's eyes. Sure enough, the man couldn't stand it and covered his eyes with his arm, which actually reduced his vision by half.

Old Mrs. Xia was annoyed. She was just a little old woman trying to think about her troubles on the rooftop of her workplace. Who was she bothering? Did she have to go to the factory manager's office to think about her worries? And now they were accusing her of stealing! "You young man, you can frame people with just a few words, you can try to deceive young girls with just a few words. Have your mouths been chewed by a dog? How can you be so shameless? And your brain! A fine young man like you, instead of thinking about how to contribute to the country and your family, all you think about is doing bad things. I don't know how the factory could hire someone like you?"

The young man covered his eyes and looked away, angrily saying, "What do you know? Do you even know who I am?"

Grandma Xia: "I don't know who you are, but I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and I know exactly what you're up to."

The young man said, "My uncle is Factory Director Yu. How dare you mess with me?"

When Grandma Xia heard this, she was very confused. Wasn't Factory Director Yu the father of that unfortunate girl who almost married Zhu Wenfei? Shouldn't this factory director be the only one with the surname Yu? She remembered that Factory Director Yu's wife's family had no one left, otherwise, no one would have helped Factory Director Yu after he was harmed by that beast Zhu Wenfei.

"Director Yu?"

The young man held his head high and said with great pride, "That's right, it's Director Yu. I'm his nephew. If you mess with me again, believe me, I'll have him talk to our factory director and get you transferred somewhere else."

Grandma Xia immediately prepared to see his reaction: "I know Director Yu too, and I even know his wife. If you want to see him, you can go with me. I haven't had a chance to chat with him in a while. I'm quite familiar with his wife."

The young man's face immediately turned panicked. "My uncle is so busy, he doesn't have time to deal with someone like you. Don't cause him any trouble."

Grandma Xia was immediately relieved. "Your aunt asked me last week why I wasn't contacting her anymore. How could it be trouble? We're friends. By the way, do you live in the dormitory? Why aren't you staying at his house? His house is quite big."

The young man grew increasingly guilty, his voice booming, "I'm an independent man, how can I rely on my uncle for everything? Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore, what do you women know?"

He threw out his final threatening words, his bravado masking his inner cowardice: "Let me tell you, if you dare to tell anyone what happened today, you'll be sorry."

He ran off in a hurry. Qiao Yi wanted to leave but didn't dare. She was also afraid that Old Lady Xia would tell others about it. After all, since Old Lady Xia moved into their dormitory, her attitude towards Old Lady Xia hadn't been very good.

"Comrade Xia, I...I..."

Grandma Xia clicked her tongue a few times, "Comrade Qiao Yi, your boyfriend isn't any good either, he just left you and ran away."

“He’s not that kind of person. He’s very responsible and has a strong sense of duty,” Qiao Yi said, trying to speak well of the man.

Grandma Xia: "What's his name?"

Qiao Yi was somewhat wary. "Are you trying to report us? How could you do this? Are you unhappy yourself and want to ruin my happiness too?"

Grandma Xia rolled her eyes: "Alright, I'm not interested in your business. Are you relieved now? I really don't know why perfectly normal young girls these days don't use their brains."

Qiao Yi retorted angrily, "You're the one who's brainless! What do you know? Do you even know what love is?"

Grandma Xia: "I don't understand, okay? I don't understand! But I have eyes. I can tell at a glance that the man didn't tell you a single truth. Even the story about Director Yu was made up."

Qiao Yi: "Impossible. He even took me to meet Director Yu. They were very satisfied with me. Director Yu is very kind. Don't talk nonsense."

Grandma Xia: "Are you sure you saw Director Yu?"

Qiao Yi: "How could it be false? Don't make baseless accusations."

Old Mrs. Xia: ...It's impossible to reason with that damned ghost. She can't even take care of her own child, so why should she care about others?

"Okay, then I wish you happiness. I won't tell anyone, alright?"

Grandma Xia turned and left. She had been squatting there for so long that her legs were numb. "That damned bastard!"

Qiao Yi saw Grandma Xia throw the flashlight to her and leave without arguing with her. She should have felt relieved, but she felt increasingly uneasy.

Her family was well-off; both her parents worked. They had requirements for her future partner. If none of Tian Chengping's relatives were Factory Director Yu, her parents would definitely not approve of him. Although Tian Chengping's parents were both registered residents of the city, they didn't have jobs and relied on taking odd jobs from the neighborhood to do at home. Their family had only two successful children: Tian Chengping and Factory Director Yu's wife.

That's right, the man's name was Tian Chengping. Even if Old Lady Xia knew that name, there was really nothing she could do. Although she knew that Director Yu and his wife were murdered in her previous life, she had never paid attention to what his wife's surname was.

Qiao Yi was frightened twice by what happened tonight. Once was when Tian Chengping tried to be intimate with her, which scared her. The other time was when Old Mrs. Xia appeared and what she said afterward, which made Qiao Yi suspicious of Tian Chengping.

Even after Grandma Xia had disappeared from sight, Qiao Yi was still on the rooftop trying to convince herself. Tian Chengping was the person she loved, the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. He certainly wouldn't lie to her; it was just Comrade Xia talking nonsense. She just couldn't stand seeing young girls doing well. She herself was a failure, so her mind must be twisted.

"I can't believe it," Qiao Yi told herself. When she got back to her dorm and saw that Grandma Xia wasn't there, she immediately whispered to Xiang Qiaoqian, "Qianqian, can you do me a favor? Help me investigate..."

Grandma Xia was preparing to take a bath in the shower room. The best thing about being a worker was that she could take a bath in the factory. Outside, you needed tickets and money to take a bath. It was much better in the factory.

Although she hadn't figured out what she wanted to do in the future, she figured that since things had come to this, she should take a shower first.
