Chapter 364: Chapter 363: (1 more update)

Grandma took Xu Wentian back into the house.

Many people at the door saw them and curiously peeked inside, but none dared to enter.

After all, Grandma’s formidable reputation was known to all. No one would dare to crowd around for fear of a scolding—or worse, losing their job.

Who didn’t know she was now the grandmother of the big boss?

Moreover, with Grandma’s temper, even if she weren’t the big boss’s grandmother, the villagers would still not dare to provoke her. Who could be as bold as she was?

She could brandish a kitchen knife and chop someone up at the slightest provocation. No one with any sense of self-preservation would dare to mess with her.

So, even though people were curious, they didn’t dare to ask and acted as though they saw nothing, going about their business as usual.

Grandma, however, was quite composed. He was her man, so what if she brought him home?

But now, Grandma had more important things to ask Xu Wentian.

By now, Grandma had already snapped out of the idea that Xu Wentian had crawled out of hell to take her down with him.

The notion was too bizarre: she remembered clearly that Xu Wentian had passed away.

When she found him, he was still gasping for breath.

No matter what, Grandma couldn’t have mistaken someone else for Xu Wentian, could she?

His face hadn’t changed.

She remembered that Xu Wentian had a fever and had gone to the clinic.

He never returned, and Gao Lihong, worried, went looking for Xu Wentian.

She found Xu Wentian lying on the hillside and rushed over to help him up.

At that time, Xu Wentian had little time left to breath, she held him, and he didn’t speak, just reached out his hand towards her.

In her anxiety, she called his name, and Xu Wentian, lying in her arms, took several minutes more to pass away gradually.

Heartbroken, Gao Lihong held onto him, crying for a long time—she clung to him even as his body began to rot, unable to let go.

Had her children not come to find her, she might have followed him in death.

If Grandma hadn’t been certain of Xu Wentian’s death, how could she have gone all these years without looking for him?

His tombstone was still standing.

And surely, the decaying corpse in her arms couldn’t have been fake.

Yet now, her man had miraculously appeared before her, alive and well.

Could it be that her memory was at fault? Gao Lihong was utterly bewildered.

Once inside the house, Grandma promptly locked the door behind them.

Xu Wentian’s gaze was fixed unblinkingly on her, and Gao Lihong, with her lips pursed, didn’t even know where to begin asking.

While Xu Wentian stared at her blankly, not saying a word.

After a moment of thought, Gao Lihong was the first to break the silence and ask.

"You old fool, tell me what on earth is going on? How come you’ve bounced back to life, weren’t you supposed to be dead?"

As she spoke, Gao Lihong’s voice caught in her throat.

Thinking back to when he had died, she had been so heartbroken she wished to die along with him, and it still pained her.

Now that he was seemingly alive, naturally, she was happier than anyone else.

But if he was not dead, where had he been all these years? Who was the person who died in her arms and whom she had buried?

Besides, if he was alive, why hadn’t he come back to find her?

Could it be that he had found a new wife?

Gao Lihong had always known that Xu Wentian wasn’t ordinary.

He wasn’t from the village at all; it was just a coincidence that he shared the last name Xu.

He was a sent-down youth dispatched to this area.

It was she who had set her sights on him and actively pursued him.

She pursued him relentlessly and even forcefully took him.

As she contemplated the possibility that he might be married, Gao Lihong was overwhelmed with dejection.

However, dejected as she was, it didn’t stop her from confronting Xu Wentian.

If he had indeed found a new partner, she would take a knife and chop him up.

Her man, even in death, wasn’t allowed to belong to someone else.

Having asked several times without a response from Xu Wentian, Grandma’s face grew stern as she put her hands on her hips, "Xu Wentian, answer me. Have you found someone else?"

Even with a glare that wrinkled her entire face, Xu Wentian still adored her.

How wonderful.

Such a vivid expression, different from those in dreams and memories.

He could not only feel her emotions but also touch her.

So Xu Wentian didn’t actually hear a word she said. He just wanted to hold her tightly.

Reaching out, he pulled Grandma to him, caressing her now sagging hand, and exclaimed, "I’ve finally found you."

His old eyes were clouded with tears that did not fall.

Though tearful, the happy smile on his face couldn’t be concealed.

How wonderful it was to have found her at last.

He had thought he would never see her again in this lifetime. It seemed providence had been kind to him.

In his remaining years, he could find the wife he had longed for over thirty years.

How wonderful.

But Grandma didn’t care about any of that; her heart was in turmoil.

If she couldn’t get the questions off her chest, she wouldn’t be able to sit down and calmly talk with him about their years of longing.

Seeing that he still wasn’t answering, Gao Lihong grew furious, reached out, and fiercely twisted his ear, shouting, "Xu Wentian, are you going to answer me or not? What does your silence mean? Have you really found someone else in these years? Is that why you never came back to find us?"

With that, tears welled up in her eyes, "Do you know how heartbroken I was, thinking you had died? I nearly followed you. You old good-for-nothing, being alive and never coming back to find us."
