I guess my godfather is thinking of ret...She didn't want to flee again. If it weren't for the empty courtyard as her cheat code, this life would be lucky enough to have loving family, but she could only be reunited with them in the afterlife...

Lao Li was just about finished with her work and wanted to see her granddaughter when she heard the sound of a carriage. Looking up, she saw that it was Madam Cui who had arrived.

Before she could even speak, Jiayin scrambled to her feet and ran over with her chubby legs. "Shigu, Shigu! Funiu misses you!"

Mrs. Cui beamed as soon as she stepped out of the carriage, quickly squatting down to greet Jiayin and shower her with kisses. "Auntie, you've been so busy lately, I'm finally glad you have some free time to visit."

Li Laotai patted the dust off her body and smiled: "I thought this girl was fast asleep, but she was just pretending. As soon as you appeared, she ran faster than a rabbit."

Mrs. Cui smiled and stepped forward to pay her respects, "Aunt, is everything busy at home"

"Not busy, harvest season is coming soon, everyone is waiting to work hard." The old woman waved her hand to drive people away, "Tired from the car ride, go back and rest, I still have some things to tidy up here."

Mrs. Cui smiled and nodded. Just then, Jiayì ran back, exclaiming, "Mother, Fourth Aunt said that there are many guests today and she's too busy to handle it all, so she asked you to lend a hand."

"Is that so Are there so many guests today"

Lao Li hesitated, wanting to say more, but Cui's wife chimed in first: "Auntie, just go ahead. I'll have a good time with Fu Niu."

Jia Yin also quickly waved her little chubby hand, "Grandma, don't worry, Fu Niu is well-behaved."

Then Old Lady Li followed her grandson, and when they disappeared from sight, the carriage door opened and Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng stepped down.

Jia Yin was so startled that her eyes widened. She instinctively guessed that something was wrong at home, something she needed to hide from Grandma about.

Perhaps feeling Jia Yin's nervousness, Cui shi patted her back and soothed her in a low voice, "Funiu don't be afraid, your aunt is here."

Before Jia Yin could probe with a few questions, Wang Yuanwai and Li Laer also walked in from outside the village.

Several people quickly entered Mrs. Cui's courtyard and then closed the gate.

Jia Yin hugged Mrs. Cui tightly, vaguely guessing a few points.

As expected, as soon as everyone sat down, Mr. Wen spoke up: "Second Brother, you've come to find us in such a secluded place, is there something important happening at home"

Liu Zhiheng had previously gained a lot of weight from being invited to feasts due to selling his jade melons and golden fruits. Now, he was waddling with his belly, chuckling as he asked, "Is the family planning to sell fruit again Those fruits and pears you sent to our house before were simply too delicious. If calculated well, their price wouldn't be much different from jade melons."

"Brother-in-law," Mrs. Cui couldn't help but chide, "You're always talking about business now! Why don't you listen to what's going on first before you speak"

Li La Er and Wang Yuanwai looked at each other, Wang Yuanwai stood up and bowed solemnly to the crowd. "Li Zhen Sheng, the eldest son of Li's family, greets you all. I also thank you all for your care and kindness to our family before. I, Li Zhen Sheng, am grateful in my heart, and will definitely repay you in the future."

Everyone was stunned, then reacted, all standing up happily.

Mr. Wen reached out and helped Li Zhensheng up. "That's great, Big Brother, have you recovered your memory"

"Yes, tell your aunt right away. Your aunt has been waiting impatiently." Cui's Madam also had red eyes, so happy that she didn't know what to say.

"Just Liu Ziheng was all smiles, "Good news! This is great news!"

Although Li's search for his son was kept low-key, everyone present moved closer to the Li family and showed concern. After all, they shared a bond forged in life and death. Therefore, they more or less knew something about it.

After all, Wang Yiwai practically went in and out of the village every day to see Zhang Shenyi for treatment. It wouldn't be possible for an outsider to move around so freely without Li Jia vouching for him or showing favoritism.

Jia Yin was also delighted, clapping her tiny hands and wriggling out of her aunt's arms to rush into her uncle's embrace. "Uncle, Uncle! Welcome home!"

Li Zhensheng was still trying to hold back his tears, but his little niece's words, "Welcome home," caused them to flow like a flood that could not be stopped.

He held his little niece tightly, choking back tears as he replied, "Good, good, Funiu, Uncle... Uncle is back."

Little Nu thought of Grandma's secretly shed tears, and she started to cry too. "Grandma is so pitiful, Grandma cried in her bed,"

Li Zhensheng cried even harder, "My uncle is unfilial, but my uncle will avenge grandma and the whole family!"

Hearing the word "revenge," everyone snapped out of their surprise.

"How could this be Who would want to harm the Li family" Mr. Wen was the first to speak out.

Mrs. Cui also followed up, "Yes, what's going on"

Li Zhensheng sat down holding his young niece, as if that were the only thing giving him strength to get through telling the agonizing first half of his life.

"I went abroad to study and never returned. It wasn't an accident, I was murdered!"

"Murder" Mr. Wen and the others all changed color, "Quickly say, what's going on"

Li Zhensheng took a deep breath, he really didn't know where to begin.

Even Li Laoer couldn't hold it in any longer and spilled the beans, "My older brother went abroad to study when he was young, traveling with a merchant caravan. There was an old manager in the caravan who was very kind to my older brother, and they became close friends. My older brother didn't have much guard against him. When they reached this area, the old manager had also returned home. My older brother wanted to continue his studies abroad, but the old manager proposed that my older brother marry his daughter."

He was furious, slapping the table and snarling: "My older brother wouldn't agree to it, of course! He is the eldest son of our Li family, with a scholar's reputation! That old shopkeeper had ulterior motives. He bribed two scoundrels to pretend to be bandits, intending to break my brother's leg, take him home for recuperation, and use the opportunity to get his only daughter acquainted with him, hoping that they would fall in love over time."

“As a result, my elder brother resisted fiercely. When he was fighting with the two scoundrels, he rolled down the mountain and hit a large stone on his back of the head, bleeding unconscious. The old shopkeeper took my elder brother to the clinic. After my elder brother woke up, he lost his memory and didn't know his name or where he came from. He pretended to be a benefactor and took my elder brother home to recuperate.”

"This old shopkeeper was Wang's patriarch. Heaven had eyes, and he soon fell gravely ill. Before he died, he forced my eldest brother into marriage with the Wang family to repay the life-saving grace. My eldest brother was cut off from his path of becoming a scholar and became a merchant, working for the Wang family like a cow or horse for so many years. He thought it was repayment, but it turned out he was selling his life for his enemy!"

Li La Er didn't sleep at all last night, tossing and turning. He was so angry that he wished he could kill everyone in Wang's family to get revenge.

At this moment, he was a single word, a tear rolling down his cheek as he gritted his teeth to utter it!

Everyone was stunned. The world is vast and full of wonders. They had heard of people stealing children, but those were cases of adoption or taking advantage of young children to raise them as their own.

But such methods were ruthless and vicious, designing to murder and rob a talented scholar who was married into the family, it's something no one had ever heard of.

Couldn't Wang Lao Ye have thought about how heartbroken the Li family would be to lose their son

Just because he liked her, he wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter, to keep the Wang family's assets and bloodline. Was it worth breaking the hearts of other families and ruining a scholar's path to success

How cruel, how vicious!

"Beast, this is a beast!"

"Absolutely cannot let them get away!"

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were so angry that they stomped around, while Mrs. Cui couldn't stop crying.

"No wonder I didn't tell my aunt, if she knew, she would be so heartbroken. This is a grudge for robbing her child!"

Li Laer wiped away a tear and continued, "Not only that, but there's even more infuriating things!"
