The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1788: Chapter 1788: That Bastard Is Still Alive, Isn’t He?

Shu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable; the old lady at home still thought her sister married a virtuous man, but it turned out to be a scoundrel. Here, Granny Fang was alone and unsupported, suffering from illness, unable even to take revenge.

If the old lady at home knew about the hardships Aunt Fang had suffered, how could she bear it?

This bastard must still be alive.

Old Mrs. Guan raised her head and saw Shu Yu’s cold expression, her eyes filled with fierce intent.

She was taken aback, at this angle... she suddenly felt that Lady Lu looked somewhat familiar.

Old Mrs. Guan’s heart skipped a beat, an uncertain thought surged uncontrollably.

Shu Yu slowly took a deep breath before continuing to ask, ”Did Granny Fang move to Hedeng Village afterward and live there until now?”

Unexpectedly, the latter shook her head, ”No, initially Miss Fang rented a small house in a village not far from the prefecture. She needed to see a doctor in the prefecture, and it was convenient being close. But unexpectedly, Chen Bing saw her.”

Chen Bing divorced Granny Fang and had money in hand, naturally wanting to marry again.

He wanted to marry into a wealthy family. If he got support from his in-laws, wouldn’t the Chen Family thrive under him?

Yet, no respectable big family would look favorably upon him.

Chen Bing had fled from disaster elsewhere; he had a second marriage, and besides, Granny Fang had caused quite a scene before. Most people in the county town knew he wasn’t a good man.

Failing in the county town, Chen Bing went to the prefecture.

Similarly, wealthy and influential families would look down on him. After all, Chen Bing was a pauper who suddenly got rich; his lifestyle and demeanor were completely off-putting to them.

Finally, Chen Bing married a girl from a small family in the prefecture that also had a shop, with many sisters at home.

She looked quite good, although her family didn’t meet Chen Bing’s expectations; they were at least better than the Fang Family.

Before marrying the girl, Chen Bing frequently went to the prefecture to please her, constantly finding excuses to take her and her brother out to play, bumping into Granny Fang who was seeking medical advice in the prefecture.

With a petty mind, Chen Bing assumed Granny Fang’s presence in the prefecture was ill-intentioned, aimed at sabotaging his marriage.

He wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen, and upon knowing Granny Fang’s residence, he hired hooligans to harass her, even planning to abduct her away from Changjin Prefecture.

Young Granny Fang was quite beautiful, as could be seen from Shu Yu and others.

But after Granny Fang fell seriously ill, she became very thin and always looked sickly, her face devoid of color. When those hooligans approached her, Granny Fang feigned being deathly ill, on the brink of death, scaring them away.

But this was only temporary; it wouldn’t work when they returned later.

Granny Fang had to leave that village, suggested by Old Master Guan to move to Hedeng Village. Old Master Guan was a local, familiar with the surrounding areas, and said there was a doctor with good medical skill in Hedeng Village, and the village atmosphere was nice.

Granny Fang, being a lone weak woman, would find Hedeng Village most suitable. At that time, the village chief’s wife was feisty, very protective, possessing some skills, and very friendly to women.

So, Granny Fang moved to Hedeng Village, and indeed settled down there, staying for thirty years.
