Chapter 2419: Chapter 10: Fu Xiangdi and Guo Bing
Yuan Gui and Kang Shuxian got married at the end of last year, and even Shu Yu didn’t expect that these two would end up together.
Originally, both the aunt and Mrs. Xiang had intended to match Yuan Gui with Fu Xiangdi. They thought one was capable and the other was clever, both looked good, were of similar age, lived close to each other, and had clear family backgrounds, so these two were a match made in heaven.
For this reason, they specially arranged opportunities for them to spend time alone, but both had no interest, and after talking and becoming familiar, they even swore to be siblings.
Granny Fang and Mrs. Xiang’s feelings at that time were truly… very complicated.
Yuan Gui was fine; he had just settled in Shu Yu’s caravan and was focused wholly on his career, being a man, Granny Fang wasn’t that anxious.
Mrs. Xiang was not the same; Fu Xiangdi was about the same age as Shu Yu. Seeing Shu Yu married, but Fu Xiangdi had no sign, her marriage became a concern for Mrs. Xiang.
Originally, they thought this situation would last very long, but just the following year after Shu Yu’s marriage, Fu Xiangdi told Mrs. Xiang that she had a marriage partner. Surprisingly, it was Guo Bing, who had been helping transport goods and occasionally driving for Yiren Pavilion.
Shu Yu had heard Mrs. Xiang mention Guo Bing before; he was a few years older than Fu Xiangdi.
At that time, Mrs. Xiang’s evaluation was—Xiao Guo is pretty good, but his family is troublesome, with many issues. Even Xiao Guo couldn’t stand it and moved out to rent a house. If our Xiangdi married him, there would definitely be fights.
So earlier, Mrs. Xiang didn’t consider Guo Bing.
Guo Bing’s family indeed had a lot of issues, thus a lot of conflicts. Especially after Guo Bing worked smoothly at Yiren Pavilion and his wages increased yearly, some people’s true nature was exposed very quickly.
Guo Bing previously did heavy labor, but after engaging more at Yiren Pavilion, he met more people and saw more things. To ensure he wouldn’t be replaced, he took time to learn some characters.
Especially when Shuyou, Lanhua, and others went to the prefecture to study, he would accompany them.
With broadened horizons, he understood many things much clearer.
Three years ago, Guo Bing’s mother passed away, and due to the costs of the funeral, the Guo family erupted in unprecedented arguments, leading to Guo Bing being severely injured and falling unconscious.
The Guo family not only refused to send him to a clinic, but they even considered whether they could replace him at Yiren Pavilion or receive some sympathy money if Guo Bing became unable to work.
Fortunately, someone near the Guo family heard the commotion, knew how hard Guo Bing had it, and immediately ran to Yiren Pavilion to report.
As the boss, Shuyou was capable of handling matters independently, and he immediately took servants from his house to the Guo family.
Guo Bing was sent to a clinic and, upon waking, had a revelation and severed ties with his father and brothers. Since then, he never returned to the Guo family.
Fu Xiangdi had always had the idea of taking a husband into the family, but since Guo Bing was unattached now, whether he joined her family or not didn’t make much difference.
Now Guo Bing’s three-year mourning period is over, and the two officially married last month.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Fu Xiangdi’s age for marriage seemed a bit old, Mrs. Xiang is quite satisfied with the current situation.
When Fu Xiangdi and Guo Bing got engaged, Granny Fang was happy for her while also anxious, reminding Yuan Gui many times.
