Chapter 2419 Extra: Fu Xiangdi and Guo Bing
Yuan Gui and Kang Shuxian got married at the end of last year. Even Shu Yu didn't expect that the two of them would end up together.
Back then, both Auntie and Auntie Xiang wanted to match Yuan Gui and Fu Xiangdi. They both thought that one was capable and the other was clever, both were good-looking, and were of similar age. They lived close by and knew each other's backgrounds and families very well. They thought the two were a match made in heaven.
Therefore, they specially arranged opportunities for them to spend time alone, but neither of them had any feelings for each other. In fact, after chatting and getting to know each other, they even became sworn siblings.
Grandma Fang and Aunt Xiang's feelings at that time were really... very complicated.
Yuan Gui is alright; he has just settled down in Shu Yu's car team and is focused on building his career. Since he is a man, Grandma Fang is not in such a hurry.
Aunt Xiang was different. Fu Xiangdi was about the same age as Shu Yu. Seeing that Shu Yu was already married, Fu Xiangdi showed no signs of getting married at all, so her marriage became a major worry for Aunt Xiang.
It was initially thought that this situation would continue for a long time, but in the second year after Shu Yu's marriage, Fu Xiangdi told Aunt Xiang that she had a fiancé. And this person was none other than Guo Bing, who had been helping to move goods at Yiren Pavilion and occasionally driving the cart.
Shu Yu had heard Aunt Xiang mention Guo Bing before; he was a few years older than Fu Xiangdi.
Back then, Aunt Xiang's assessment was—Xiao Guo is a good person, but his family is also noisy and there are a lot of problems. Even Xiao Guo himself couldn't stand it and moved out to rent a place. If our Xiangdi were to marry into that family, they would definitely fight.
So Aunt Xiang hadn't taken Guo Bing into consideration earlier.
Guo Bing had a lot on his plate at home, and with that came a lot of conflicts. Especially after Guo Bing's work at Yiren Pavilion went smoothly and his wages increased year by year, the true colors of some people were revealed very quickly.
Guo Bing used to do manual labor, but after working at Yiren Pavilion, he met more people and saw more things. Moreover, in order not to be replaced, he would also learn to read in his spare time.
He would accompany Shu You and Lan Hua, among others, when they went to places like the prefectural city to study.
With a broader perspective, many things become clearer.
Three years ago, Guo Bing's mother passed away. Due to the issue of funeral expenses, an unprecedented big quarrel broke out in the Guo family. Guo Bing's head was cracked open and he fell into a coma.
Instead of taking him to a clinic, the Guo family even thought that if Guo Bing got into trouble and couldn't do his job at Yiren Pavilion, they could take his place or get a sympathy fee.
Fortunately, someone near the Guo family heard the commotion and, knowing that Guo Bing had a difficult time, ran to Yiren Pavilion to report the news without saying a word.
As the head of the household, Shu You was already capable of handling things on her own, so she immediately led her servants to the Guo family.
Guo Bing was taken to a clinic, and after waking up, he had a sudden realization and severed ties with his father and brothers. Since then, he has never returned to the Guo family.
Fu Xiangdi had never stopped wanting to find a husband to marry into her family, but since Guo Bing was now free of any ties, it didn't make much difference whether or not she did.
Guo Bing's three-year mourning period has now ended, and the two officially got married last month.
Although outsiders might think Fu Xiangdi was getting married at a rather old age, Aunt Xiang is quite content with her current situation.
When Fu Xiangdi and Guo Bing got engaged, Grandma Fang was happy for her but also extremely anxious, and she gave Yuan Gui a lot of advice.
