Chapter 1903: He Wants to Collect Debts

Chen He was physically inferior to his so-called "brother," and it didn't take long for him to fall behind. Fortunately, his mother was from the Pan family, so he didn't suffer too much.

However, his hostility hadn't diminished. He even threatened to kill the other party.

At this moment, Chen He's wife, Song Shi, who had been quiet for almost the entire day, tearfully declared that she wanted to divorce Chen He and take their son back to her family.

Chen He was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected such a dire situation awaiting him upon his return.

Song Shi was determined. Her family was also in Chenggu County. With Chen Bing and Pan Shi's astute natures, they wouldn't choose a family with poor background for their son's in-laws. Therefore, Song's family conditions were slightly better than Chen's.

Song Shi had grown up in a doting family, and Chen He used to be the only son of the Chen family. In the future, he would inherit the shops and houses of the Chen family, and even have the support of the Pan family. Her future life wouldn't be bad.

But now that Chen He was labeled as an illegitimate child and had low social status, how could Song Shi endure it?

It wasn't just her; her family wouldn't agree either.

She couldn't even stay in the Pan family anymore. She decided to take her son and find an inn to stay for the night. Tomorrow morning, she would leave and return to Chenggu County.

The Pan family was enveloped in a cloud of gloom. When Lu Sanzhu returned after hearing the story, even Chen He fainted.

"So, you shouldn't do evil things. When you do, you bring suffering to your descendants." Of course, Chen He wasn't a good person to begin with.

Lu Sanzhu seemed quite emotional. Grandma Lu had a dark expression, and while others could say these things, he...

Shu Yu said, "Song Shi will return to the county tomorrow, and I estimate Chen He will also go back. Uncle, would you accompany Grandma and Aunt to the county tomorrow to collect the debts?"

"Collect debts?" Lu Sanzhu became excited. "I'm more than willing to do that."

Originally, he had intended to enjoy a few more days in the city, but now he was more interested in this matter. Without any hesitation, he agreed.

In this lifetime, he would only be on the receiving end of debt collection. He had never gone to someone else to collect debts, which would undoubtedly be quite satisfying.

Therefore, the next day, bright and early, Lu Sanzhu harnessed the horse carriage in the backyard.

Accompanying him were only Lu Erbai, Lu Sanzhu, and the equally eager Da Bao. As for Shu Rui and Er Niu, they had their fill of spectacles over the past few days. Since they had come out for sightseeing, they couldn't be preoccupied with gossip.

As of now, they were in the city, and since Shu Yu wasn't planning to return immediately, they decided to stay and explore, getting to know the local customs and culture.

Shu Yu saw Grandma Lu and her group off at the city gate, ensuring that Ying Dong was with them. With someone as strong as Yuan Gui by their side, there was no need to worry about being bullied.

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, go to the county office and find Magistrate Tang."

"Understood, Ah Yu, you can go back now." Grandma Lu waved her hand and closed the curtain of the carriage.

The two carriages departed, one after the other, and the one in the rear carried Zhou Tiedong and the others, who were also heading home.

As the carriages gradually moved away, Shu Yu let out a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to turn back to the city, she saw a carriage from the Chen family approaching.

Sitting on the carriage shaft was Chen He, looking disheveled and with a gloomy expression. He also spotted Shu Yu and immediately revealed a look of hatred.

Shu Yu responded with a smile that wasn't really a smile, and Chen He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at her. After all, her status was now beyond his reach. Unless he wanted to court death, the farther away he stayed, the better.

Chen He soon drove his carriage towards Chenggu County.
