The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1903: Chapter 1903: He’s Going to Collect a Debt

Chen He, with a weaker constitution compared to his ’younger brother,’ soon found himself at a disadvantage, though fortunately, his mother was from the Pan Family, so he didn’t suffer too much.

Nevertheless, his hostility remained intact, even threatening to kill the other party.

At this time, Chen He’s wife from the Song Family, who had almost been silent all day, tearfully declared she wanted to divorce Chen He and return with her son to her parental home.

Chen He was dumbfounded, never expecting such a devastating blow awaited him upon his return.

The Song Family’s resolve was firm; they were also based in Chenggu County. Given Chen Bing and Ms. Pan’s astute nature, they would certainly select a family with a good background for their son’s marriage, hence the Song Family’s circumstances were slightly better than the Chen Family’s.

The Song Family’s daughter was pampered from a young age, and Chen He was once the sole son of the Chen Family, destined to inherit the family’s shop and house, with the Pan Family as support; her future seemed bright.

But now that Chen He was a child of illicit descent, of lowly birth, how could the Song Family’s daughter endure this?

It wasn’t just her, her family wouldn’t accept it either.

She couldn’t even stay at the Pan Family, deciding to take her son and check into an inn, planning to leave for Chenggu County the next morning.

The Pan Family was plunged into gloom, and when Lu Sanzhu returned after watching the scene, Chen He passed out.

”You see, one shouldn’t commit evil deeds; doing so burdens future generations too.” Of course, Chen He was not a decent person to begin with.

Lu Sanzhu felt quite emotional, causing the old lady to furrow her brow, as everyone else could say such things, but him...

Shu Yu said, ”The Song Family will return to the county town tomorrow, and Chen He is likely to go back too. Third Uncle, you should accompany Grandmother and Aunt to the county town to collect debts.”

”Collect debts?” Lu Sanzhu was excited, ”I’m willing to do that.”

He initially planned to enjoy himself in the prefecture for a couple more days, but now he encountered something even more appealing, so he agreed immediately.

His entire life he had only been the one pursued for debts, never had he strutted about to demand them from others; it was bound to be satisfying.

Thus, early the next morning, Lu Sanzhu hitched the carriage in the backyard.

This time, heading back were only Lu Erbai, Lu Sanzhu, and the equally eager Dabao. As for Shurui and Erniu, they had enjoyed enough of the spectacle these past two days, and since they were on a journey, couldn’t just focus exclusively on gossip.

Having arrived at the prefecture, Shu Yu wasn’t planning to return promptly, so they stayed behind to wander and explore the local customs.

Shu Yu saw off the old lady and others at the city gate, instructing Ying Dong to stick close. With strong individuals like him and Yuan Gui, there was no concern about being bullied.

”If you encounter a problem that you can’t solve, go to the county office and seek County Magistrate Tang.”

”Understood, Yu, you should go back.” The old lady waved her hand and lowered the car curtain.

Two carriages left one after the other, the latter carrying Zhou Tiedong and the others, also heading home.

As the carriage gradually receded, Shu Yu exhaled and, turning back toward the city, she saw the Chen Family’s carriage approaching head-on.

Chen He sat at the carriage shaft, looking weary and sullen. Upon seeing Shu Yu, he instantly displayed a look of hatred and resentment.

Shu Yu’s expression was one of an ambiguous sneer; Chen He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look her way. Ultimately, her status was beyond his reach, unless he had a death wish, it was better to stay as far away as possible.

Chen He soon drove the carriage towards Chenggu County.
