Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Terrifying

"What is it?" Aunt Zhang asked.

"Why did Mr. Su divorce his ex-wife?" Gu Zi was genuinely curious.

Upon hearing Gu Zi's question, Aunt Zhang's face darkened, and she spoke with a serious tone, "You're new here, so you probably don't know about this!"

Gu Zi's expression also turned serious. She remembered the villagers' cold and disdainful attitude when they mentioned Su Shen's ex-wife, and even Su Shen's eyes had grown cold.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Gu Zi asked.

Because Su Shen was not the main character, the novel didn't provide details about this.

Aunt Zhang paused her sewing work, sighed, and said with a grave expression, "Actually, this matter is no longer a secret. It caused quite a stir when they divorced."

"It's not really Su Shen's fault; it's mainly because of that woman. She was truly wicked, worse than an animal!"

"You know the situation with Su Shen. He doesn't plan to have any more children. They had already discussed this matter properly, and that woman also agreed back then.

"As you know, Su Shen's financial situation is pretty good. The house is large and in good condition. Although he is not very talkative, he is generous with his family. Even though the pig farm is in the village, people from both the town and the county come here to buy pork!

"When that woman first came here, she was well-behaved and kind to the children. Everyone liked her initially and thought she was a good person. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"But later, she found out that Su Shen had earned a lot of money. She became obsessed with having her own child and wanted to secure all the wealth for her child.

"I can't say her desire was wrong. If she wanted a child, she should have just lived peacefully at home. Perhaps Su Shen would have changed his mind in the future.

"But no one expected her to poison the three children. The second child was particularly gluttonous, and after just one bite, he started foaming at the mouth. If the eldest hadn't noticed the second child's condition and rushed him to the hospital, all three children might have been killed.

"But that woman refused to admit that she did it. Later, the person who sold her the poison personally came to testify against her. It was only then that she admitted it.

Gu Zi nodded earnestly and said, "Aunt Zhang, rest assured, I will take good care of them."

Aunt Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. She sincerely hoped that the three children would have a better life.

...

Aunt Chu was lying on the straw mat in the courtyard, preparing to take an afternoon nap. When she heard the door open, she looked up and saw that her daughter had returned. She slowly sat up.

She was now a big contributor to the family. Since she started helping out at Su's house, she could earn fifty yuan a month. Of course, this money also included the money for grocery shopping.

In the countryside, everyone grew vegetables in their yards, so there was no need to spend money on buying them.

Moreover, every time Su Shen sent meat back home, she would steal all of them back to her own home. So her in-laws treated her like a deity now.

Her only worry was that Gu Zi might ask Su Shen to dismiss her. If she really lost this well-paying and easy job, she wouldn't be able to find anything remotely close to this ever again.
