Ding Shi didn't sleep all night. In the morning he was tied up again and beaten with a stick. His mind was completely confused.

He immediately said, "That was the wine my wife brewed. They robbed my wife."

~Oh~

The people around glared at Ye Xuan again. In broad daylight, he was stealing someone else's wife. Was there any law against this?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Ye Xuan quickly explained, "We have two bosses in our workshop. One is from our village, and the other is a daughter-in-law from the village. Don't slander them."

"That daughter-in-law is my daughter-in-law, and you took her away."

Ye Xuan had no idea about this. That was the girl rescued by Tian San. She followed Tian San wholeheartedly and was now pregnant.

After hearing what Ye Qing said, Liu Jing started to explain, "The young wife got divorced, and the divorce agreement was taken to the government office for filing."

Master Qian still had some impression of it, after all, not many people divorced. He asked someone to get the file and present it to Master Wu.

Lord Wu took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed written that the relationship had broken down and the woman had given the house to the man. There were also fingerprints of the village head and the surrounding neighbors on it.

"You are such a rude man! You married into the woman's family, you divorced, and she gave you the house. And you still say that she is your wife."

The people around him started to smack their jaws again. This was too exciting. After divorcing and remarrying, she really couldn't be considered his wife.

"Tell me quickly, who ordered you to poison me?"

Ding Shi still wanted to argue, but the bailiff who went to his house to search for evidence came back with a bag of unused arsenic.

This packet of arsenic was bought at a drugstore. At that time, it was said to be used to poison rats. The clerk in the drugstore still remembered Ding Shi.

Now Ding Shi could no longer argue and continue to make trouble.

Lord Wu lost his patience and said, "If you don't tell me, I will execute you in the autumn."

Ding Shi fell to the ground in fear, shouting, "Sir, I don't want to die. It's Yaoji Winery. I owe money to the gambling house. It's the shopkeeper. He said he would pay off my gambling debts after the matter is done."

The yamen runner Zhang led people to arrest the owner of Yao Ji Winery. The people watching outside were reluctant to leave. The plot was full of twists and turns and was really exciting.

Ye Qing didn't expect this to happen. She knew Yaoji Wine Shop, which was the one that raised the price for Zhaoji Wine Shop, and she got a bargain.

Soon the owner of Yao Ji was arrested.

When he first arrived, he still refused to admit his guilt, "Sir, I don't know this person, this never happened."

Ding Shi cursed angrily, "You bastard, you are the one who found me, and you still don't admit it."

The shopkeeper of Yaoji didn't even look at him and just kept crying out for justice.

"Ding Shi, what evidence do you have?" Lord Wu looked at Ding Shi.

Ding Shi was confused. He was the one who found him, so why did he need evidence? He himself was the evidence.

Obviously, Lord Wu did not agree with the statement that he was evidence, and was racking his brains to think of something that could prove it for him.

The shopkeeper of Yaoji smiled proudly. There were only two people present at the scene at that time, and no one else could prove it.

Just as the shopkeeper of Yaoji was getting up to go back, Ding Shi thought of something.

"Sir, I have a witness. The last time he found me, he gave me a jade pendant with his name on it."

The shopkeeper of Yaoji replied, "Nonsense, I never gave you the jade pendant. It was clearly fifty taels of silver."

As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong and he had been cheated.

In the end, Ding Shi was sentenced to exile thousands of miles away, and the owner of Yao Ji hired someone to kill someone and was sentenced to beheaded in the autumn.

Ye Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect there was a hidden secret. Fortunately, they were on guard, otherwise they would be in trouble.

Yaoji Winery went bankrupt, and no one in Wuan City dared to order their wine.

Ye Yuan came back very late every day, bringing more and more orders.

Ye Xuan and Tietou went out to discuss business. As long as they could grab the market in Wu'an City now, they would earn as much as they could in the future.

This incident was all thanks to Liu Jing. It was thanks to his arrangement that Ding Shi was captured.

Xiufen felt guilty because she was the cause of this incident. But Ye Qing protected her reputation and did not interrogate him in the village, causing him to say something unpleasant.

The couple worked harder, and the burden on their heads was gone, so they could earn more money to raise their children in the future.

Liu Jing brought his wife and children to Kaoshan Village, rented a house in the village, and lived in the village with his daughter.

The villagers were kind and Liu Jing had helped the village kill wolves, so his family soon integrated into the village.

Doctor Lin comes to the village to stay for one day every month. Liu Jing brought his child to see him, and the child is getting better and better now.

Liu Jing was grateful to Dr. Lin, who trusted him and gave him the key to the house.

Liu Jing would go and help with the cleaning every few days, and he also planted vegetables in the vegetable garden.

When Doctor Lin came back, he picked the fruits and ate them directly, thus saving some money on buying vegetables.

When Doctor Lin returned to the village, Liu Jing delivered his three meals a day, and the relationship between the two families became better and better.

Liu Jing mainly helps out in the workshop at night. He basically doesn’t go out to deliver goods now, and there is no need for him elsewhere.

The village head came to find Ye Qing and said, "Qingya, Liu Jing doesn't have much work to do in your workshop during the day. Can you let him take the children in the village to practice martial arts?"

"Grandpa Lizheng, why do you want the children to learn martial arts?"

"It's because I saw that you exercised on your own in the morning without any method, so I thought of finding someone to guide you. In case we encounter a natural disaster in the future, we will be able to survive in the troubled times." The head of the village is old, and he thinks a lot and feels insecure.

"We need to discuss it with him and see if he's willing. This would be like doing two jobs at once. I don't know if he can handle it."

The head of the village said his plan, "You give him one tael of silver as monthly salary, and add another half tael to it, and the workshop and the village will split it in half, how about that?"

Ye Qing was a little tempted, but she was also afraid that there would be another flood and the whole village would have to relocate.

Ye Qing asked someone to find Liu Jing and said, "Uncle Liu, the village head just came to see me about you. Please listen to me and see if this is okay. I fully respect your opinion."

Ye Qing told Liu Jing what happened again. Liu Jing didn't say anything as he still needed to think about it.

I have already accepted Ye Qing's job, so it would be a bit inappropriate to take on another one.

Ye Qing saw his concerns and said, "Uncle Liu, it depends on your situation. I support whatever decision you make. If you take the job of village head, I can also follow you to exercise in the morning."

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't care, Liu Jing was willing to take the job. It would cost a lot of money every month to take care of his daughter's health.

He took this job and could earn one and a half taels of silver a month, plus his wife earned almost two taels of silver a month, which was more than enough for his daughter.

"Qingya, I do. While I'm still young, I'll earn some money and buy my own house in the future." Liu Jing made up his mind.

"Isn't this too tiring? I'll leave Wangcai here tonight." Ye Qing said sympathetically.

"I'm not tired. I can sleep at night while watching the workshop. It's even better with Wangcai here. Thank you Qingya for giving me this opportunity."
