" she is right Chi. Grandma, Grandma would have died without you" Grandma Fang couldn't help but burst into tears. She knew and understood her grandson's troubles but she was doing her best too! She just - she just wanted to make sure that her grandson wouldn't get involved with a woman of suspicious background which was why she was so detailed and pissed a few matchmakers off but it was all because she loves her grandson more than anything else! " This old w.. the woman is still alive only because of you, I have already lost my only daughter and son-in-law years ago - if not for you, what will I continue living for? Without you Chi, there is no meaning of staying alive either, if Grandmother have lost you today, I would have drowned myself in the sea as well."
" grandma-" now that Fang Chi has calmed down a little, he could see clearly that his grandmother indeed ran amok the village without caring about her safety. Her clothes were dirty with dark patches of dirt and mud covering her front, she must have fallen or maybe in the worst-case scenario pushed by someone. In the beginning, Fang Chi was too engrossed in his own grief to notice these small things but now that he was more clear-minded, he couldn't help but feel guilty, he shouldn't have acted recklessly like this - he didn't even think about what will happen to his grandmother once he was gone.
After everything, his grandmother had done for him. Throughout her life, she has put him first before herself and yet he - Fang Chi felt his eyes burn and clenched his fists, he couldn't help but lean against his grandmother's shoulder and cried " I'm sorry grandmother, I am so sorry, I was selfish and -"
" you are such an idiot, such an idiot! It's such an insult to my genes!" snapped Grandma Fang slapping Fang Chi in the back of his head but she couldn't bring herself to hit him too much. In the end, she embraced Fang Chi and cried even harder, he was alright. Her daughter's one and only son were still alive and well, if she lost him today - she would have never been able to survive the guilt of letting Fang Chi and her daughter down. Thankfully, thankfully, this idiotic grandson was still okay!
Qiu Bai who was hiding behind the crowd bit his lips in frustration. Why? Why didn't Fang Chi die! He has worked so hard, schemed so much and wasted so much money, all to force that dog to the edge until he was left with no other choice but to commit suicide, so why did his plan backfire at the most crucial moment?
That's right, the reason Fang Chi and Grandma Fang were in such a dire situation was all because of Qiu Bai. After Yu Dong taught him a good lesson and the Yu family had to fork out a good sum of money to stop the matter from escalating any further.
Qiu Bai's life took a turn for the worse, his father in law was so angry with him that he completely barred him from the kitchen so that Qiu Bai couldn't sneak off anything tasty. The Yu family's meal usually lacked oil and seasonings but after his father in law took charge of the cooking, Qiu Bai started getting even a worse end of the deal. Except for some leftovers nothing was given to him, and because his wife was still angry at him because of that previous matter, she wasn't willing to listen to him either.
Qiu Bai was so frustrated that he felt like strangling someone with his hands! He couldn't even eat a decent mouthful of meat and yet that ill star brother of Yu Dong was getting fatter and fatter each day like a ball. Was it possible for Qiu Bai to sit still after seeing Yu Mai playing in the village dressed impeccably and getting chubbier while he had to weed the fields as punishment on an empty stomach?
Of course not! So Qiu Bai came up with a very smart plan. When Matchmaker Wang came to the village bringing a match for Fang Chi, he very casually brought up the matter of Yu Dong and Fang Chi coming out of the forest together. Though he repeatedly emphasised nothing happened, his tone insinuated that something did happen. After that, it got harder and harder for Grandma Fang to find a suitable match because every time any matchmaker brought any match for Fang Chi, Matchmaker Wang would intercept them after taking bribes from Qiu Bai. He would deliberately mention the matter regarding Yu Dong and Fang Chi and broke the match even before it reached Grandma Fang.
Qiu Bai kept it up until rumours of Fang Chi having an affair with Yu Dong reached the villagers. Even though the suspicion of the villagers was solved right on that night, after the rumours got stronger and stronger, it unnaturally became the truth.
Fang Chi room found out about the rumours from the villagers and as for Yu Dong, the only reason she didn't know about these rumours was that the villagers started avoiding her and everyone from the Yu Family after that fire in the field incident, no one wanted to trigger the broom star and send her on another rampage.
Thus, Yu Dong had no idea about it and went on her days. On the other hand, Fang Chi took it as something personal, he thought that the reason Yu Dong was not worrying about the rumours was all because she had no interest in him. Though he had no romantic interest in her either but after she saved him in the forest, something like a small bud of crush was born in his heart, he didn't love her but he had good feelings for Yu Dong.
Seeing her ignore him and the rumours ( she didn't, she didn't even know), his confidence suffered a huge blow and to make matter worse he was continuously rejected by his match. For months Fang Chi held on but today's rejection was the final blow, the woman clearly called him a ' man - slut' to reject him as embarrassingly as possible on Qiu Bai's suggestion.
Qiu Bai planned to question Yu Dong after Fang Chi breathes his last, and ask her why she didn't woman up and took responsibility. If that was to happen no matter how much Yu Dong denied her reputation would have suffered a great blow! But Fang Chi survived!
The drama was finally reaching its end, so how could Qiu Bai not fan the flames from behind? After all, the money and efforts he wasted, he had to make something out of his losses! If ge cannot ruin Yu Dong's reputation. Then he will just target that happy family of hers!
' don't blame me for being too hard on you Yu Dong. After all, that deadbeat daddy of yours was the reason I couldn't lift my head up for years in the village and had to marry that greedy aunt of yours - if not for your daddy, she would have belonged to him!'
