Chapter 1786 Inability to Have Children
Grandma Fang refused to accept the money, but the girl's uncle persuaded her that if she didn't accept it, the girl would feel uneasy, and others would say that their family was ungrateful, which would be bad for the girl's reputation.
Grandma Fang's husband, Chen Bing, also said that these wealthy families are not short of money, but they are afraid that these people will take advantage of their life-saving grace to pester them, so they want to spend money to buy peace of mind.
In the end, Granny Fang was persuaded and accepted the money.
A total of five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum for people like Chen Bing and Granny Fang who had fled from war.
After receiving the money, their lives became much easier.
After staying there for a while, the girl left with her uncle.
Grandma Fang started planning to return to her hometown. Now that she had money, she didn't need to worry about the travel expenses. The floodwaters in Dong'an Prefecture had also receded, so they could still go back and reunite with their families.
But just then, she got her period.
In the past, when Grandma Fang had her period, she would only feel a little uncomfortable, but this time the bleeding was frighteningly heavy. Not only that, her entire abdomen was cramping so badly that it felt like someone was constantly beating her.
This situation was clearly abnormal, so Granny Fang went to the prefectural city to see a well-known female doctor. The doctor said she had caught a cold, which was probably a lingering illness from when she went into the water to save someone.
Not only that, she was on her way to escape the disaster last month when she had her period. Her body was often in the water, and coupled with overwork and rescuing people in the freezing cold, her body simply couldn't take it.
Not only will menstruation be painful frequently in the future, but childbirth will also be difficult.
This devastating news left both Granny Fang and Chen Bing stunned.
However, the doctor comforted them, saying that as long as they received proper care, there was still hope for the future.
However, the cost of this treatment is not low, and all the medicinal materials used are of high quality.
After that, Grandma Fang spent a long time recuperating in bed, and Chen Bing was in charge of everything at home, including the money.
Chen Bing took most of the money under the pretext of buying expensive medicinal herbs.
At the time, Grandma Fang was still young and simple-minded. Chen Bing was her newlywed husband, and in this unfamiliar place, she would naturally only trust him.
Therefore, she was unaware that Chen Bing had taken the money but the medicinal herbs he bought were of poor quality.
Grandma Fang survived entirely on her own willpower. During her illness, she missed her family terribly.
Chen Bing volunteered to find out where the Fang family was and see if they were alright.
A few months later, Chen Bing told Grandma Fang some devastating news—the Fang family, including the Lu family, were all gone.
The flood took away Grandma Fang's sister's family, and then the epidemic in the town took away Grandma Fang's parents.
Chen Bing not only brought definite news, but also the death certificates of Grandma Fang's parents issued by the town.
Grandma Fang was deeply affected, and her health deteriorated further.
After that, she was bedridden for almost half a year.
During those six months, she had no idea what Chen Bing had been doing outside.
He used the five hundred taels of silver to buy a house in the county town. Then he went to the shop owned by the girl's uncle and told the shopkeeper that his wife had fallen ill while trying to save the girl and needed to be treated, and that all the money had been spent.
Before leaving, the girl did indeed instruct the shopkeeper to take good care of them and to try his best to meet their needs.
The shopkeeper then gave Chen Bing another sum of money.
But once you start, you start again. Chen Bing, not content with his initial success, approached the shopkeeper several times.
