Chapter 874: Chapter 864: It’s Worth It in This Lifetime (The End)_2
After estimating the worth of the Ma Family couple, they should have a few million.
Then, there’s Dashuan and his wife. Over the years, they have been conducting business in the city, mainly reselling. After they started sourcing products from Feiyang, their business stabilized, and later they opened several grain and oil shops in the city. Over the years, their family moved from Gaijiatun to the city, and they probably have a net worth of a million as well.
Next are the couples Li Xianglian and Li Hongxing. They are not very clever folks, so they chose the path of farming to prosper. However, with the backing of Feiyang, they make quite a profit every year from leasing land to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. Now they lack neither rural houses nor city apartments, and have at least several hundred thousand in savings, making them one of the top families in the rural area.
At the scene, there were also the elder Shen couple, whose deeply lined faces revealed the hardships they had faced over the years.
It was no secret that Shen Yunfang and her husband were so burdened with worries due to Shen Yunxiu returning home after her divorce.
Initially, Shen Yunxiu’s situation unfolded just as Shen Yunfang had predicted. The year her husband graduated from university, he got involved with a woman who could secure him a good job, making Shen Yunxiu nothing but an obstacle. Without a marriage license restraining them, the Fang Family simply cast out Shen Yunxiu with a sneer.
Shen Yunfang was unwilling to accept this. She made a scene at the Fang Family, and finally, the elder Shen couple made another trip to the Capital, but it didn’t change the outcome. In fact, it wasn’t just Shen Yunxiu who was expelled; they didn’t want her son either, since the other woman declared she didn’t want to be a stepmother as she was capable of bearing her own children.
The reasons behind this are numerous, but in the end, the efforts of the elder Shen couple in the Capital were futile. Yet, they brought their daughter and grandson back home.
After that, Shen Yunxiu caused various troubles at home. The elder Shen, having no other choice, thought about finding her a job outside of home, hoping that it might improve her situation. So, he gave Shen Yunfang a call to discuss this, hoping she would arrange a job for Shen Yunxiu at the farm out of respect for the elder couple.
Shen Yunfang immediately refused without thinking twice. She knew Shen Yunxiu too well - having her come over would only bring trouble.
Old Shen didn’t expect his niece to deny him face like that, and he eventually just silently hung up the phone.
Later on, Shen Yunfang continuously heard that Shen Yunxiu had remarried, but her life remained disappointing, leading to another return to her parents’ house and yet another marriage. This cycle persisted until her fourth marriage finally settled down. However, her new in-laws were quite strict, marrying her off to be a stepmother; therefore, they didn’t want a burden, leaving Shen Yunxiu’s biological son to live with the elder Shen couple back in their old home.
On the night before returning to his old home, Elder Shen, trembling, wept with Shen Yunfang.
"Yunfang, the child is good, I’m asking you for the last time, please help the child."
Shen Yunfang felt torn. Arranging a job for someone wasn’t a big deal, but she disliked having any association with Shen Yunxiu. She was accustomed to living a peaceful life and dreaded any trouble.
Seeing her silence, Elder Shen understood her concerns and hurriedly assured, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let Yunxiu trouble you. She has her own family now and isn’t as immature as before." His words sounded somewhat feeble.
Shen Yunxiu indeed had matured, not being as self-righteous as before, but she had become even more selfish, seeking comfort and status in her in-law’s family, often returning to her parent’s home to exploit her elderly parents. Later, when her son started earning money from a job, she turned vampiric, returning home to extract money with various excuses. Elder Shen saw that the child wouldn’t benefit from staying in his old home and decided to send him away to prevent Shen Yunxiu from exploiting him further, allowing the child to start a new life free from this burden.
Under Elder Shen’s hopeful gaze, Shen Yunfang pondered for a while before finally giving in.
To her, taking a child to work here wasn’t a big issue. Assuming Shen Yunxiu’s capabilities, she would definitely not find her way to Z Province. By helping out, she could easily resolve the issue for Elder Shen’s family. Thus, she agreed, considering it as repaying the favor Elder Shen had once done for her.
