Chapter 935: I Want to Call Lu Congming
Shu Yu listened with a sigh, and when she returned home for dinner with the family in the evening, she mentioned this matter to Lu Erbai, who immediately furrowed his eyebrows tightly.
"I really hadn’t heard about this." He had only been back to Shangshi Village once after returning from the southwest, mainly occupied with the affairs of the mansion in the county town.
He had been bustling about in Shangshi Village as well, mostly just stopping by the village chief’s house for a visit.
Since the village chief only spoke of happy events, he naturally wouldn’t discuss these unpleasant matters with him, and apart from knowing his own brothers’ situation, Lu Erbai was quite unaware of other villagers.
"I’ve actually seen his son-in-law, timid and shrinking at first, frightfully cowardly. Who would have thought, as days improved, he became recklessly bold, even gambling and then running off with someone, abandoning his wife and child?"
The old lady snorted coldly, "Good riddance that he ran off. It’s a blessing that he did. Otherwise, if he continued to stay in Madam Liang’s house, he might recklessly rush to the gambling den at any moment. Then, the whole Liang family would be dragged down into a semi-dead state by him. Having such a husband and father, it’s better to be without. Madam Liang should consider it as spending money to eliminate a disaster. Now that Madam Liang has descendants, just pretend he’s dead."
Unable to help herself, Shu Yu gave the old lady a thumbs-up, Grandmother, your thoughts are so progressive.
It seems the only use this gambler had was to leave an offspring for Madam Liang.
"I heard from Eldest Uncle that Madam Liang has given up on him, only wanting to live their own lives well. Madam Liang even went to the authorities to retrieve the marriage certificate, as if to divorce that man."
