Chapter 1789 Are you really just a fellow villager?
Shu Yu suddenly remembered that Yuan Gui had said that he fell off a cliff and was saved by Granny Fang. Later, the village doctor cured him, and he never came to the county town to find a doctor.
It seems that the doctor in Heden Village is indeed a doctor with extraordinary medical skills.
Shu Yu took a deep breath. "What about Chen Bing?"
The old lady of the Guan family said, "Heaven is blind, it didn't let the wicked get their just desserts. After he got married, he had two children, a son and a daughter, and his family was happy with the money that Sister Fang earned with her life. But he was not cut out to run a shop after all. Over the years, I have watched him make some profits and losses, but he has not achieved anything great."
Chen Bing is ambitious, but his abilities don't match his vision, and he lacks foresight.
He also considered other businesses, but lost money on them all.
It seems that he owed a lot of money in his early years, and in the end he had to ask his wife's family for help, which they barely managed to cover.
However, since then, Chen Bing has had little contact with Yue's family.
Shu Yu sneered, "If he had any foresight, he wouldn't have abandoned his wife and cut off his own escape route."
If he had treated Granny Fang well back then and hadn't kept asking that girl's uncle's shop for money, even if he relied on that favor and had been more diligent and sincere, he wouldn't still be in this terrible state after more than thirty years.
Grandma Guan agreed.
"Where does Chen Bing live now?" Shu Yu asked.
Grandma Guan was taken aback. She looked up and saw Shu Yu's tightly pursed lips. She asked softly, "Young lady, are you going to find Chen Bing... to avenge Granny Fang? Well, you've come at a bad time. I heard that he took his wife and children to his wife's family the day before the bandits broke into Chenggu County."
Because of her relationship with Granny Fang, Grandma Guan couldn't help but pay attention to the Chen family. She didn't know everything about Chen Bing's whereabouts, but she would still keep it in mind when she heard about it.
"They went to the prefectural city?"
"Yes, the Chen family's daughter is of marriageable age. Chen Bing and his wife have been looking around in this county town but haven't found anyone suitable. Seeing that the girl is getting older, they shamelessly went to her father again, hoping to find her a husband in the prefectural city."
Chen Bing and the old lady in the family are of the same generation, so their grandson should be about the same age as Shu Yu by now.
However, in the first two years after he and Grandma Fang got married, he was away from disaster and divorced his wife, which delayed them from having children.
They re-engaged a year later, and got married another year later.
Who knew that they wouldn't have any children after getting married, and it wasn't until seven or eight years later that they had their first son. Therefore, this son was a year younger than Lu Sanzhu.
Many years later, they had their second daughter, who is fifteen years old this year and will be sixteen next year.
Shu Yu frowned. Chen Bing was in the prefectural city, which would be difficult to find. Especially now that the prefectural city was in chaos, even the old lady of the Guan family didn't know the address of Chen Bing's in-laws.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu?" The old lady of the Guan family felt uneasy when she saw that she didn't speak.
Shu Yu snapped out of her reverie and smiled as she said to her, "I've learned more about what happened with Granny Fang. Thank you, Grandma Guan. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
Shu Yu stood up, and the old lady of the Guan family also quickly stood up.
Seeing Shu Yu walk away, she couldn't help but ask urgently, "Miss Lu, are you really just from the same hometown as Sister Fang?"
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks, not expecting the old lady of the Guan family to be so perceptive.
She smiled but didn't answer her question. Instead, she said, "I'll visit you again another day to thank you for taking care of her back then."
