Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Niuniu_1

Looking at the little guy laughing so hard that his teeth are showing but not his eyes, Nanzhi simply hands him over to Shi Tou before going off with Old Lady Liu to enjoy the fun.

Shi Tou gazes at the little tot in his arms, puzzled. What’s making him so happy?

Shen Zhiyu looks up at him, excitedly asking, "Uncle Shi Tou! Can you fly?"

Shi Tou is taken aback. How can he fly without wings?

Meanwhile, inside the Li family’s courtyard, Shen Wenchen looks grim. Li Liang is also staring at him, dumbstruck.

Did he... did he just fly over?!

"What happened?"

Shen Wenchen’s voice is cold. Finally, Li Liang snaps out of his state and hastily answers, "I came out just now to call my sister-in-law back to sleep so that she wouldn’t be harmed by the locusts, and then... I saw her lying on the ground!"

Ada and Shen Xing acted quickly and had already stepped forward to examine the situation of Ms. Wu.

"Big Brother Shen, she has been dead for half an hour," Ada looks at Shen Wenchen, her face grave.

Shen Wenchen nods slightly, then turns to look at Li Liang. But instead of asking about Ms. Wu, he asks, "How many people are in your family?"

Li Liang did not expect him to ask this question and is momentarily taken aback.

Liao Hui, who is standing by his side, meekly says, "Including my sister-in-law, there are now seven of us in total."

"Who is not here?" Ada takes a look around the courtyard and then fixes her gaze on Liao Hui.

Only then does Li Liang shield Liao Hui behind him, glaring at them warily, "Why are you asking that?"

Shen Wenchen frowns, growing impatient. Li Zhaodi, who is hiding to the side, speaks up, "Grandfather and Shi Tou are not here."

Liao Hui turns pale at once and pulls her eldest daughter behind her.

Zhaodi is pulled to the side by her mother, who clamps her mouth shut. She obediently stays hidden.

Hearing this, Shen Xing didn’t look at them any further but quickly moves to check the remaining two rooms. Finally, he calls out to Shen Wenchen, "Big Brother Shen, there is another person here."

When Nanzhi enters, she sees Shen Wenchen heading into the Li family’s house and is puzzled.

What is he doing going into someone else’s house?

Glancing down, Nanzhi almost vomits.

Ms. Wu is lying face up in the courtyard. Her clothes are completely soaked with blood, obscuring their original color. The dark red clot of blood has formed due to the warmth, and the thick smell of blood completely fills the air upon entering.

"Oh, my God!" Old Lady Liu also covers her eyes quickly upon seeing the scene. She’s scared she’ll have nightmares from this!

On seeing the scene, Shen Xing’s first instinct is to find Shen Dashan. He tells Old Lady Liu and then rushes off.

Upon entering, Shen Wenchen sees two crutches haphazardly thrown on the ground. Just a few steps in, he sees bright red stains on Old man Li’s right leg, extending all the way to his chest where something has struck him and left him bloody and battered.

Only when he gets closer does he hear the old man whispering something.

Niuniu, Old Lady Wang.

Shen Wenchen naturally knows who Old Lady Wang is, as she had once tried to exploit him. But who is Niuniu?

Why did Old man Li keep saying Niuniu right before he died?

Could it be related to this situation?

Pondering this, Shen Wenchen leans closer. It seems Old man Li can sense someone approaching him and in his struggle, opens his eyes. Even if he can’t see clearly anymore, he tries his best to open his mouth to speak.

The two listen carefully but still can’t make out what exactly he is trying to say.

"Revenge!"

Finally, Old man Li seems to use up all his energy to shout these two words. Afterward, there is no more response from him.

Shen Wenchen goes through all the information. First, there was Li Tian’s death, then Ms. Wu lost her sanity. Now, it seems someone is trying to take Old man Li’s life, and Ms. Wu died half an hour ago.

Add to this: Niuniu, Old Lady Wang, Revenge.

Shen Wenchen has an answer in his mind.

Though strange, this might not necessarily be untrue.

Having figured it out, Shen Wenchen is about to leave with Ada when he hears faint breathing from under the bed.

After moving the crate that is blocking the way, they find Shi Tou, who has drifted off to sleep in hiding.

After lifting the little boy out, the two exit the room.

Seeing Shi Tou unharmed, Li Liang breathes a sigh of relief. It’s good that he is fine.

Shen Dashan is all nerves when he hears from Shen Xing that something has happened to the Li family.

How did the Li family end up in so much trouble this morning?

Upon arriving at the Li family’s entrance, he is taken aback once again by Shen Wenchen and Ada’s imposing manner.

"Wenchen."

On seeing Shen Dashan, Shen Wenchen immediately nods and calls out, "Uncle Li Zheng."

"Did you find anything?" Shen Dashan looks at the state of the courtyard, his brow never unfurrowing.

"Old man Li is inside, and before he died he kept calling out for Niuniu and Old Lady Wang," says Shen Wenchen honestly.

This matter is better handled by Uncle Li Zheng.

Hearing the names Niuniu and Old Lady Wang, Shen Dashan is visibly taken aback.

How would he know who Niuniu is?

After Old Lady Wang was dismissed, he was informed that she had gone back to her home, and that she passed away following the surge in national liberation. But he has no recollection of who this Niuniu is.

No one else in the courtyard knows who Niuniu is either, with the exception of Li Laidi, who is about to speak up.

Just before this happens, she is silenced by the hand that Li Zhaodi places over her mouth.

Ada notices their suspicious behavior and walks over to them, only to see Liao Hui stepping back a few steps with her two daughters.

"Little girl, do you know something?" Without taking any notice of Liao Hui’s movements, Ada quietly observes Li Laidi.

The young girl removes her sister’s hand from her mouth, and then timidly says, "Niuniu is my eldest aunt’s daughter."

When she speaks, everyone in the courtyard is dumbstruck.

Ms. Wu’s daughter?

Wasn’t Shi Tou the only child that Ms. Wu bore after twelve years of marriage to the Li family?

Didn’t she suffer constant abuse from Old Lady Wang because she couldn’t have other children?

How come they don’t know about her daughter according to what Laidi is saying?

Realizing that everyone is looking at her, the little girl becomes scared but continues, "My eldest aunt told us. She said we have another sister who should be thirteen by now but was killed by grandma and grandpa."

The little girl speaks and glances at her own sister.

Li Zhaodi’s face also pales somewhat at this. Seeing that their mother is looking at them in disbelief, she presses her lips together before saying in a crying voice, "It was this afternoon. My sister and I went to deliver lunch to my eldest Auntie. She... she was the one who told us. We tried to run, but she held us back. We couldn’t escape."

If Laidi’s words were a shock for everyone, Zhaodi’s words now confirm the reality of the situation.

"Liao Hui, do you know what’s happening?" Shen Dashan asks Liao Hui.

Given their relationship as sisters-in-law, it stands to reason that Liao Hui should know something about whether Ms. Wu has another child.

"I..." Liao Hui’s face stiffens, and for a moment, she doesn’t know what to say.
