Witty Wife, Better Life-Chapter 875 - 864: It’s Worth It in This Lifetime (The End)_3

Uncle Shen saw her agree, his eyes brimming with joyful tears, holding her hand and repeatedly uttering the word "good," showing how thrilled he was.

The next day, Uncle Shen and his wife, with full of hope, returned to their old home. They had already discussed with Shen Yunfang that once they got home, they would let the child go work in Z Province and would absolutely not tell Shen Yunxiu about the child’s whereabouts.

After seeing off Uncle Shen and the Dashuan families, Li Xianglian and Li Hongxing’s families also started packing their things, preparing to move.

"Oh, tell me, after all these years, where on earth did Xianglian go?" Suddenly during their chat, Li Xianglian sighed.

Everyone heard her words but stayed silent; any topic related to Li Xianghe and Li Hongqi was taboo in the Li Family, no one wanted to bring it up.

Li Xianglian also realized after she spoke that perhaps she shouldn’t have mentioned it.

"I, I’m just a bit worried. After all these years, there’s been no news at all," Li Xianglian stammered in her explanation.

Still, everyone remained silent, especially Shen Yunfang, who didn’t want to speak.

There have been no news from Li Xianghe over the years, leading to a few possible scenarios. The first possibility is that she was living well and didn’t want to contact her family members. This probability was almost zero; with Li Xianghe’s personality, even if she had a tiny bit of money, she would have shown it off to these people.

The second possibility is that she was having a rough time and felt ashamed to show her face. This possibility was also nearly zero; if she were in trouble, she definitely would have returned home to cry to her siblings and in-laws, not asking for anything else but hoping to scrape together a bit of money.

The third possibility is that she was being controlled by someone else; that is, she might have been sold or kidnapped, losing her freedom, so she hadn’t contacted anyone for years.

Regarding such speculations, Shen Yunfang had only two words to say: serves her right. If she was indeed kidnapped, it was karma, karma for what she did to Niuniu before.

The last possibility was that she might no longer be alive...

"Enough already, why keep bringing this up? If she intended to come back, she would have returned long ago after all these years. She’s grown up; why are you still worrying about her?" Liu Jianguo pulled his wife to stop her from continuing, didn’t he see that no one wanted to discuss this topic? Why still talk about it and make everyone uncomfortable.

Li Xianglian looked at her two brothers, and finally, she closed her mouth.

"Sister, in my opinion, instead of worrying about someone who’s gone and may never return, you might as well think about your younger brother. Just a few days ago, I don’t know what he said to somebody in prison, but he called our Hongxing again, asking us to send some stuff there," Wang Dan took the opportunity to bring this up.

Over the years, Li Hongqi had caused quite some disturbances. After initially selling their house, he took his wife and mother-in-law to try their luck in the city, but within a few years, they shamelessly returned to Taoshu Village and stayed at Li Hongxing’s house.

One can imagine the huge battles Wang Dan and Li Hongqi had.

Li Hongqi eventually left but managed to pinch some money from Wang Dan.

When he showed up again after a few more years, he returned dressed up sharply in a suit and sunglasses, genuinely impressing the villagers.

Upon arriving in the village, Li Hongqi grandly rented a room in the village committee and began promoting his business to the working masses — it was earthworm farming.

He provided earthworm seedlings for people, encouraged them to breed them at home, and pledged to buy them at a high price once they had grown, though he initially charged for the seedlings.

At first, when he returned to his hometown to start this venture, very few people believed him, so he started by targeting his own family. He generously gave several boxes of free earthworm seedlings to his sister-in-law, Wang Dan, without charging a dime and personally taught her how to breed them.

Once the earthworms grew, he, in front of many people, handed a substantial amount of money to Wang Dan for purchasing them.

Seeing the real potential to make money, everyone rushed home to buy the seedlings.

Raising earthworms was easy; this business was simply about money rolling into one’s home.

During that time, Li Hongqi got people from Taoshu Village and the surrounding seven or eight villages involved in raising earthworms.

With the money in hand, Wang Dan was pleased and continued to raise earthworms with her younger brother-in-law. The relationship between her family and Li Hongqi’s family improved significantly.

Later, during a phone call with Shen Yunfang, Wang Dan mentioned this affair. Her main purpose was to let Shen Yunfang know that Li Hongqi had turned over a new leaf and even acquired a skill that could help everyone earn money together.
