my country has clear laws stipulating that involvement in child trafficking is punishable by law.
The Shen family should be thankful that the Xie family didn't sue them and send them all to prison.
If they threaten the Xie family with the debt of more than ten years of raising them and demand benefits, then the Xie family has no reason to give them face.
Just because the other party looks weak and pitiful and has been raised by someone, does that mean the Xie family should endure more than a decade of suffering to fawn over the perpetrator?
Xie Sidu smiled and agreed, "Lili is right."
Xie Zian stood to the side, and his eyes seemed to light up when he heard Xie Li's words.
Although he realized that Wang Cuihua did not deserve sympathy, the education he had received for more than ten years had taught him to be kind and generous to others.
They felt that since they had received more than ten years of kindness in raising them, the Xie family should repay them properly.
Xie Li's words cleared his mind and gave him a sudden insight—that's right, why should the Xie family be grateful to Wang Cuihua and treat her well?
Wang Cuihua's involvement in human trafficking has violated the law, and the Xie family has no reason to thank her, neither morally nor logically.

When Xie Li walked out of the study, he saw Granny Ming standing not far away, fiddling with a vase.
Seeing Xie Li come out, she smiled and greeted her, "Li Li."
She paused, then pulled the person aside. "Don't blame me for being nosy, but your mother came all this way. She's illiterate and knows absolutely nothing about the city. She's even worse off than an old woman like me. How could you just let her go like that?"
"She is, after all, your mother. The kindness of raising you is greater than the kindness of giving you life. She truly loved you."
Grandma Ming has a slightly plump face, and even her wrinkles seem to convey kindness.
Xie Li lowered his brows, but his gaze fell on the hand that was holding his.
She lightly touched it with her fingertips, then calmly withdrew them after a moment: "Grandma, you don't need to worry about this matter."
Grandma Ming's face stiffened, and her smile slowly faded. Then she smiled again to cover it up. "Oh, it's my fault. I'm old and talkative. Don't mind me."
As he spoke, he walked away hastily with faltering steps.
Xie Li watched her retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly.
When she visited Shenjia Village as a child, Grandma Ming was a slightly plump middle-aged woman. Because of her fair complexion and kind smile, it was easy for people to put their guard down.
But after more than ten years of farming in the mountain village, while others were worn down by the heavy farm work, and most of them were pale, thin and dark-skinned, Grandma Ming remained fair and plump.
Since moving to the deep mountains, Xie Li has rarely interacted with the villagers and has no idea what kind of life Grandma Ming led afterward.
But now it seems that Granny Ming is living a very good life. Her physical condition must have been maintained through years of eating rich and fatty foods.
She pinched her fingertips together and couldn't help but do some calculations.
Then, she opened her eyes, her gaze indifferent yet carrying a few icy starlight.

Grandma Ming went outside, and there was no one in the winter garden.
The darkness concealed her figure well. She took out her phone from her pocket and made a call.
"Hey, the Xie family's attitude is very firm. Xie Li is heartless and won't let Wang Cuihua move in. Playing the family card won't work. You should try a different approach."
After hanging up the phone, Grandma Ming took a deep breath, the slightly chilly air captivating her.
Lately, I've been feeling hot all over, as if I have inexhaustible energy, but I can only stay in the Xie family's garden every day and can't go out.
Thinking of the enormous benefits promised by Ding Ruoxu, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
