The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1786: Chapter 1786: Unable to Bear Children

Granny Fang refused to accept it, but the girl’s uncle persuaded her, saying that if she didn’t accept it, the girl would feel uneasy, and others would say their family was ungrateful, which would be bad for the girl’s reputation.

Granny Fang’s husband, Chen Bing, also said that these wealthy families were not short of money, but were afraid that they would cling to them because of the life-saving grace, so they spent the money to buy peace of mind.

In the end, Granny Fang was convinced and accepted the money.

A total of five hundred taels, which was a huge sum for people like Chen Bing and Granny Fang, who had fled to escape disaster.

After getting the money, their days became much better.

After staying here for a while, the girl left with her uncle.

Granny Fang began to plan to return to her hometown. With money in hand, they didn’t have to worry about the travel expenses. The flood in Dongan Province had receded, and they could still return to reunite with family.

Who knew that at this time, her period came.

In the past, Granny Fang would just feel a bit uncomfortable during her period, but that time her bleeding was shockingly heavy. Not only that, her entire abdomen twisted in pain as if someone were beating her.

This situation was obviously abnormal, so Granny Fang went to the prefecture’s well-known female doctor. She said Granny Fang had caught a chill, likely due to the lingering effects of rescuing people in the water that time.

Moreover, when her period came last month, she was on the road fleeing from disaster, her body often soaked in water. Coupled with overexertion and rescuing people in cold weather, her body couldn’t take it.

From then on, her periods would often be painful, and having children in the future would be difficult.

This bad news shocked Granny Fang and Chen Bing senseless.

However, the doctor consoled them, saying that as long as she received proper care, there was still hope for the future.

But the cost of this care was not low, as the herbs used were of high quality.

After that, Granny Fang spent a long time bedridden, recuperating, with Chen Bing managing everything at home, including the money.

Chen Bing, under the pretext of buying expensive herbs, took most of the money.

At that time, Granny Fang was still young, innocent, and newly married to Chen Bing. In this unfamiliar place, of course, she would only trust him.

As a result, she didn’t know that while Chen Bing took the money, the herbs he bought were not good.

Granny Fang got through it purely by her willpower, and during her illness, she particularly missed her family.

Chen Bing volunteered to find someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Fang family members to see how they were doing.

Several months later, Chen Bing brought bad news to Granny Fang—all the Fang family, including the Lu family, were gone.

The flood had taken Granny Fang’s sister’s family, and the subsequent plague in the town took her parents.

Not only did Chen Bing bring definite news, but he also brought death certificates for Granny Fang’s parents from the town.

Granny Fang was deeply affected, and her health worsened.

After that, she was almost bedridden for half a year.

And during this six-month period, she had no idea what Chen Bing was doing outside.

He used that five hundred taels to buy a house in the county town, then went to the shop run by the girl’s uncle, telling the shopkeeper that his wife was left with ailments from rescuing the girl and needed care, and the money was all gone.

Before leaving, the girl indeed instructed the shopkeeper to take care of them and to try to meet any needs they might have.

So the shopkeeper gave Chen Bing another sum of money.

But once there is a first time, there will be a second. Chen Bing’s greed was insatiable, and he repeatedly approached the shopkeeper.
