Chapter 1788 Is that bastard still alive?
Shu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this. The old lady at home thought her sister had married a virtuous man, but it turned out to be a scoundrel. Here, Granny Fang was all alone, helpless, and sick, unable even to seek revenge.
If the old lady in the family knew how much suffering her great-aunt had endured back then, how could she bear it?
That bastard, he should still be alive.
When the old lady of the Guan family looked up, she saw that Shu Yu's expression was cold and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
She was suddenly stunned. From this angle... she found the young woman in front of her to look somewhat familiar.
Grandma Guan's heart skipped a beat, and an uncertain thought surged up uncontrollably.
Shu Yu took a slow, deep breath before continuing, "After that, did Grandma Fang go to Hedeng Village and stay there until now?"
To everyone's surprise, the latter shook his head. "No, at first, Sister Fang rented a small house in a village not far from the prefectural city. She needed to see a doctor in the prefectural city, and it was closer and more convenient there. But who knew that Chen Bing would see her like that?"
After divorcing Granny Fang, Chen Bing had money in his hands and naturally wanted to marry another wife.
He did want to marry into the family; if he could get financial support from his in-laws, wouldn't the Chen family rise to prominence in his hands?
But which wealthy family with any standing would even look at him?
Chen Bing had fled from elsewhere and was a second-time bride. In addition, his mother-in-law had caused a scene before, so many people in the county knew that he wasn't a very good person.
Since he couldn't find it in the county town, Chen Bing went to the prefectural city to look for it.
Similarly, wealthy and powerful families look down on him. Besides, Chen Bing is a poor man who suddenly became rich, and his lifestyle and manners are simply not respectable in their eyes.
Finally, Chen Bing married a girl from a small family in the prefectural city who also owned a shop and had many sisters.
The other party was good-looking, and although his family's wealth did not meet Chen Bing's expectations, it was still better than the Fang family's.
Before marrying the girl, Chen Bing often went to the prefectural city to win her favor, making excuses to take the girl and her brother out to play. That's how he met Granny Fang, who was seeking medical treatment in the prefectural city.
Chen Bing, with his petty mind, felt that Granny Fang's appearance in the prefectural city was ill-intentioned, that she was there for him, and that she wanted to ruin his marriage.
He wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. After learning Granny Fang's address, Chen Bing hired thugs to harass her and even planned to kidnap her from Changjin Mansion.
Grandma Fang was beautiful when she was young, as can be seen from Shu Yu and others.
However, after Grandma Fang suffered a serious illness, she became very thin and her face was always pale and sickly. When that group of thugs came to find her, Grandma Fang pretended to be terminally ill and on the verge of death, which scared them away.
But this effect is only temporary; it won't work again later.
Grandma Fang had no choice but to move away from that village. It was Grandpa Guan who suggested that she go to Hedeng Village. Grandpa Guan was a local and quite familiar with the area. He said that there was a doctor with good medical skills in Hedeng Village, and the village had a good atmosphere.
Grandma Fang was a frail woman living alone, and Hedeng Village was the perfect place for her. At that time, the village chief's wife was a feisty woman who was very protective of her own and had some martial arts skills. She was also very friendly to women.
So Grandma Fang went to Hedeng Village and settled down there, where she stayed for thirty years.
