Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 12 - 12 11 Mr. Chen

?Chapter 12: Chapter 11 Mr. Chen Chapter 12: Chapter 11 Mr. Chen Chen Dabao first said triumphantly, “The villagers all think I’m too young to understand, so when they’re talking about grandma, they don’t avoid me. Thus, I have eavesdropped quite a bit. I know much more than my uncle does.”

Then, his little face twisted, “It seems that Mr. Chen’s family lives in the next town. When his father was seriously ill and about to die, his mother bought grandma to be a bride for good fortune and to help with their household chores. Grandma was only ten when she entered the Chen’s family, and Mr. Chen was five. It was Grandma who raised him. After Mr. Chen passed the imperial examination, his mother got rid of my grandma. It’s said that that man later became a scholar, married the daughter of an important official, and has always been a big official somewhere called Jiangnan. He has never returned. And, they all say Mr. Chen is very handsome…”
Chen Afu was shocked again, realizing that not only was Mrs. Wang a child bride, but perhaps the man who might be her real father was raised as a stepson by Mrs. Wang herself. Mrs. Wang is now 36 years old, two years older than Chen Ming. This body was born when Mrs. Wang was 21. In ancient times, it was normal for a woman to have a child at fifteen or sixteen. Giving birth to a first child at the age of 21 was indeed old.

Thinking of this, Chen Afu felt pain for Mrs. Wang again. At a young age, she was sold as a child bride and helped her husband grow. But after her husband passed the examination, she was abandoned and returned to her family. Because she was pregnant, she married a dying man in desperation. Since then, she had to bear the burden of raising this family of sickly people. Thankfully, Chen Ming survived and was kind to Mrs. Wang and himself, the burden.

In her heart, she cursed Mr. Chen hundreds of times. Such a Chen Shimei, once becoming successful, he abandoned his wife who had dared all the hardships with him.

But, wouldn’t this be a stain on him? Even officials in ancient times cared about character. This place is relatively close to the Capital City, only about 200 miles away. If someone intentionally leaked this info, he could probably be impeached by a censor. Could there be something else going on here? She’d figure it out after she got better.

Then she thought, why should she worry about all this? She’ll only ever see Chen Ming as her real father and take good care of him in the future. As for that bastard Chen Shimei, she didn’t want any contact with him.

Thinking of this, she lost interest in Mr. Chen.
