Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1925: Chapter 1925: Chen Bing Regrets It

During this period, Chen Bing slowly accepted the fact that he was infertile.

After accepting it, he wondered why he had divorced Fang Caixia back then. Fang Caixia had a better temper than Ms. Pan, worked harder than her, and had higher moral standards. Apart from being unable to have children, she was better than Ms. Pan in every way.

Yes, not being able to have children is also quite good; she wouldn’t be like Ms. Pan, committing adultery with others.

Chen Bing also regretted completely cutting off ties with the Lu family. He had no idea the Lu family would become so prosperous, not only wealthy but also having a powerful and influential county magistrate.

If he had such backing, who would dare look down on him when he was out and about?

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and get moving. If we delay finding a place for the night, you’ll regret it.” The bailiff’s scolding voice rang out.

Before Chen Bing could react, he was hit with the hilt of a knife, instantly reddening his arm.

He quickly squeezed out a smile and sycophantically said to the bailiff, “Please, soldier, calm down. It’s my fault; I was distracted. Don’t be angry. Here, take this, soldier, and have something good to eat tonight. I’ll have to trouble you to look after me along the way.”

The bailiff accepted the pieces of silver he handed over, glanced at it, “I couldn’t tell, you had something hidden on you. Okay, I’ll look after you today.”

Chen Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing the bailiff’s glance, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat panicked inside.

After that, every day he had to give silver to the soldiers for extra care. Then later, he had to give silver to every bailiff to receive attention. Then, when the silver ran out, he finally experienced how real exiled prisoners were treated.

By the time he reached the exile area, Chen Bing was as thin and frail as a bag of bones.

However, his suffering was just beginning.

Shu Yu didn’t care about Chen Bing. She knew his future wouldn’t be easy. It was only meaningful if he survived to reach the exile area; if he died just like that, it would be too easy for him. Her Aunt endured more than thirty years of hardship.

After sending off the old lady, Shu Yu started busying herself with the matter of opening a shop.

A few days later, Jiang Fengshou delivered his plan, but Shu Yu returned it after reviewing, asking him to consider it further.

Jiang Fengshou was still a bit puzzled, thinking his plan, after several days of contemplation, was quite perfect. Fortunately, he, like Third Lu, had the advantage of not forcing through things nor considering himself superior. Since Shu Yu said it wasn’t workable, he shamelessly sought her advice, asking how she managed when starting up in Dongan Province.

Hearing Shu Yu talk about the rhyme lottery, Jiang Fengshou slapped his thigh hard, “Outstanding, truly outstanding! County magistrate, your lottery idea is simply brilliant.”

But the model in Dongan Province might not necessarily be applicable to Changjin Prefecture, let alone Jiang Fengshou wouldn’t directly copy it, as that would make him seem too useless.

As for the lottery, it could be saved for future use, perhaps during a festival or something.

He quickly took his plan back again, then went around the prefecture with Li Rongman, squeezing into women’s circles to listen to gossip, going to teahouses to hear storytelling, gathering materials and brainstorming.

Shu Yu didn’t stop any of this; she was only interested in seeing the results.

However, others were very dissatisfied. After Shu Yu finished interviewing, those shopkeepers who were always paying attention and had applied were surprised to know that her final choice was Jiang Fengshou. Each of them felt it was unbelievable and incomprehensible.
