Chapter 1796: They're Still Alive

Shu Yu's expression was so serious that Grandma Fang nearly burst into tears.

It took her a while to find her voice again. "Jiang... Jiangyuan County, Shishi Village?"

"Yes."

"Lu Nanfang, Fang Caiyue..."

"That's right."

Grandma Fang's breathing became even more rapid, and she trembled all over. "They're alive, aren't they? They're both still alive?"

Shu Yu smiled, "My grandmother is still in good health, but she misses you very much."

"Good, good, hahaha, good..." Grandma Fang repeated the word "good" several times, her eyes so red it looked like they might bleed. After a moment, her legs suddenly went weak, and she fell straight back.

Shu Yu was startled, but luckily their hands were already supporting her, so she managed to catch her.

"Grandma Fang, Grandma Fang."

She had already fainted, her entire body falling backward.

Shu Yu immediately turned and shouted at the door, "Ying Xi!"

This shout raised her voice, not only alerting Ying Xi to rush in, but also catching the attention of Yuan Gui and the old village chief who were in the yard. The three exchanged glances and without a word, hurried inside.

Yuan Gui rushed into the room and saw Shu Yu and Ying Xi helping Grandma Fang lie down on the bed.

He immediately came forward to lend a hand. "What happened?"

"She was overwhelmed by emotions and fainted. I apologize, I should have been more tactful." Despite her words, the news of her sister's survival would undoubtedly stir Grandma Fang's emotions.

Yuan Gui knew what was going on. He turned around and ran out, "I'll go find Doctor Guo."

However, just as he rushed out of the room, the young village chief's grandson blocked his way. Equally worried, the young man said, "Doctor Guo isn't home right now. I know where he is, I'll go get him."

After he finished speaking, he dashed off. Yuan Gui heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to fetch some hot water from the kitchen.

Shu Yu used a handkerchief to wipe Grandma Fang's forehead, while the old village chief stood at the door since he couldn't enter. However, his brows were tightly knitted in concern.

He couldn't help but harbor some complaints towards Shu Yu in his heart. What exactly did the village lord do to their house's elderly lady that she fainted all of a sudden?

He felt that the village lord was not entirely trustworthy. After some thought, he went out to call the neighboring lady to come help.

When the neighboring lady entered the room, the old village chief took Yuan Gui to the courtyard and asked, "Do you know what's going on? Why did the village lord come to the Fangs' house today?"

At this point, Yuan Gui no longer concealed the truth. With a sigh, he whispered, "Miss Lu is Grandma Fang's relative."

The old village chief froze. "What did you say?"

"I don't know all the details, but I know that Grandma Fang's family members aren't dead. There might be some misunderstanding. Miss Lu came here today, and Grandma Fang fainted due to the excitement."

The old village chief was at a loss. While he knew a bit about Grandma Fang's background, he didn't have as detailed information as Grandma Guan. He knew she had come to the village to escape a disaster, that her family members had died during that time, and that she had married an unfaithful man out of desperation before settling in Hedeng Village.

This had been her home for over thirty years.

The entire village had accepted Grandma Fang's story of being alone without any family. Now, suddenly, a high-ranking Village Lord claimed to be her relative?

The old village chief's head was spinning. No, he needed to get this matter sorted out.

Thinking this, he glanced at the room once more and told Yuan Gui to take care of things. Then he headed back to his own home.
