She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1655: Chapter 1732: Everyone’s All Right

The daughter-in-law is gone, the grandson is gone, and now there’s no news of the son either. When I called the General Union, they just said it’s classified.

She also pulled over a stool and sat in the living room, sighing along. In just half a year, the white hairs on her head have increased significantly.

Xu Xianxiong almost choked on his cigarette when he saw the tangyuan in the bowl, "Cough cough... you’re making do? This is too much making do." A big bowl with two tangyuan filled to the brim — it’s the first time he’s seen such a thing.

"Eat if you want, or leave it if you don’t." Her heart was occupied with thoughts of her son, missing her daughter-in-law too much to spare time for cooking for him. Besides, she was never good at cooking.

Xu Xianxiong received a glare but still finished the two tangyuan with a stiff face, knowing that this bowl was bound to cause indigestion.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, good news, good news..." Xu Yingshan’s voice traveled from far to near, soon charging into the yard. Outside, the sky was already dark, with only dim moonlight and the snow on the ground lighting up the surroundings, allowing a long view.

Xu Yingshan, dressed like a bear, fell into the snow and took a messy tumble, quickly scrambling back to his feet.

"Is there news about your brother?" Xu Xianxiong stood up excitedly.

Zhao Lanzi also asked eagerly, "Did your brother call?"

"No," Xu Yingshan said with a silly smile, "it was sister-in-law, Ningning’s sister-in-law called."

"Are you serious?" Xu Xianxiong charged forward, his hefty body knocking Xu Yingshan down for another messy fall.

Before Xu Yingshan could get up, Zhao Lanzi had already darted outside, shouting as she ran, "Of course it’s true, if this jerk dare lie, I’d break his dog legs."

The couple dashed quickly through the snow, leaving Xu Yingshan stunned, his ears echoing with the words from Second Aunt.

The couple rushed to the small shop; seeing Xu Xianxiong, the neighbors gathered around the TV scattered like birds and beasts, running away even faster than rabbits.

Xu Yingshan followed behind, witnessing once again the prowess of his Second Uncle.

Xu Xianxiong grabbed the phone first but obediently handed over speaking rights under Zhao Lanzi’s threatening gaze.

"Wife, it’s yours."

"Hum!" Zhao Lanzi snorted coldly and took the phone, immediately putting on a different expression, at once nervous and expectant, but mostly fearful of having hope turned into despair.

She couldn’t bear a second time.

"Is... is it... Ningning?"

"Mom, it’s me. I’m sorry for not calling you for so long." Sheng Ning heard the nervousness in Zhao Lanzi’s voice, feeling sour in her heart and even worse thinking about the Living Yama still in country S.

With the TV watchers gone, the small shop regained its quiet; Zhao Lanzi could clearly hear Sheng Ning’s voice. Suddenly, she lost control completely, her hand holding the receiver shaking violently, tears flowing fiercely.

When the four of them confirmed Ningning’s death, none cried as fiercely as now.

The whole person was nearly collapsed.

Sheng Ning was scared and overwhelmed, how could this be? Didn’t she instruct An’an to notify her parents immediately?

"Mom, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

"Mom, speak up! Don’t scare me." Sheng Ning’s eyes were red with urgency; she hadn’t anticipated this result upon calling back.

Zhao Lanzi finally stopped crying, sniffing she said, "Ningning, as long as you’re okay, you’re okay. How come you haven’t called, written, or came back for so long without any news?"
