Traveling to ancient times? Break off the relationship first! Then divorce! Make a lot of money

After the yamen runners left, Yuan Junyao quickly called out, "Master Hu, Master Hu, please stay for dinner today. I'll cook for you myself."

Uncle Hu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Qi Meixiang smiled widely, and for some reason a sense of pride welled up in her heart.

The county magistrate came to Yuanjia Village, but instead of going to Yuan Qinghai's house for dinner, he came to her house!

Although Yuan Shisheng was very dissatisfied, he still hurried back with his wife to prepare.

After they left, the housekeeper of Yuan Qinghai's family could only take the things back intact.

Yuan Qinghai and his lawyer Zhu Yuanqing were sitting in the front hall drinking tea at that time.

The room is furnished with mahogany furniture and there are exquisite tea cups on the table. The room shows wealth everywhere, but there are too many ornaments and it is a bit cumbersome. It has lost its elegance and makes it look more like a nouveau riche.

Yuan Qinghai had already learned what was going on from Zhu Yuanqing. He asked, "Are you saying that the County Magistrate is so concerned about Yuan Junyao's affairs just because she saved the old man's life?"

The lawyer stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "This is only part of the reason. The main reason is that the old man likes her and values ​​her. As for the county magistrate..."

He frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "It's hard to guess what Lord Hu is thinking. Anyway, we can't offend Yuan Shisheng's family now, especially Yuan Junyao. No matter what, leaving a way out is also a way for ourselves to retreat."

"That's true." Yuan Qinghai took his words to heart and speculated, "Do you think the Master has fallen for Yuan Junyao?"

Hu Changgeng is 26 years old this year and has never had a woman by his side.

It's not that they haven't thought about putting women around him, but he is devoted to serving the people and has no interest in women at all.

Zhu Yuanqing shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but it seems that the old man has this idea."

Yuan Qinghai scratched his head and said in annoyance, "This old man is very difficult to deal with. I spent so much effort on him before, but he still couldn't please me. I don't know what kind of luck Yuan Junyao has."

Hu Changgeng was not interested in money or beautiful women, and he never accepted bribes, so it was difficult for them to establish a good relationship with him.

But he was very filial, so they also wanted to start with Uncle Hu, but this Uncle Hu was even more difficult to deal with than Hu Changgeng.

"Who knows? But she does have some abilities. In my opinion, even if Lord Hu doesn't fancy her, he still genuinely treats her as a sister. Father-in-law, there's no harm in making friends with her for the time being!"

Yuan Qinghai nodded, "Okay, I see. By the way, how is Miaomiao doing recently? I think she's due in the next two days!"

Zhu Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "It's been two days. The midwife has been brought in to live with us. Everything is ready. I've also made an appointment with the adults to stay at home with her starting tomorrow."

"That's not necessary. Men have their own careers. Isn't it just about giving birth to a child? What woman doesn't give birth to a child? Besides, this isn't her first time. You don't have to spoil her like this."

Yuan Qinghai said this, but the smile on his face was obviously even wider.

As the two were talking, the butler came in and reported, "Master, Lord Hu and the other officials have not enjoyed our tea and snacks. They have gone to Yuan Shisheng's house for lunch."

Yuan Qinghai nodded, as if he had expected this. He waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can go down!"

The butler withdrew.

Yuan Qinghai and his son-in-law looked at each other, and both of them understood.

Their guess was correct. Even though Hu Changgeng did not like Yuan Junyao, he truly treated her as his sister.

But Yuan Qinghai thought; even so, no one could shake his position in Yuanjia Village.

He was a wealthy man, even Hu Changgeng might not be as rich as him, but he was an official, and he used to be a businessman, but now he could only be considered a farmer. Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, merchants were still of low status.

But no matter how rich he is, he can only stay in Yuanjia Village and cannot go any further.

Yuanshi gives birth to a family.

There has never been anyone of such noble status in our home.

Yuan Junhe stood aside very restrainedly, not daring to breathe.

Uncle Hu and Hu Changgeng sat down in the main hall, and Yuan Shisheng and Yuan Junyao were entertaining them.

Qi Meixiang was busy making tea in the kitchen. There was no precious tea at home, only wild tea leaves that they picked and dried in the mountains.

There were no snacks at all, nothing at all. She thought she could only make some tea and prepare a more substantial lunch.

Yuan Junyao had originally intended to keep the pork and beef she had bought, but the hot weather caused them to spoil too quickly.

She first pickled it with salt, then put it in the cellar, and finally air-dried it, but it was getting less and less fresh, so she had to eat it in the end.

Now there are only egg mushrooms at home, and she can't serve wild vegetables on the table. Fortunately, she can't bear to eat rice yet.

Qi Meixiang took the knife and saw that there were only these two dishes at home. It would be inappropriate to serve them on the table. So after thinking for a while, she said with a cruel heart: "Kill a chicken!"

Yuan Junling stayed in the kitchen with her and said reluctantly, "The ten chickens at home are laying eggs, ten a day."

Qi Meixiang didn't even blink, even though her heart was bleeding. She just urged, "Go pour tea for the guests."

"Oh." Yuan Junling responded reluctantly and could only go to the main room with the tea.

She raises all the chickens, ducks and pigs in the house.

Those ten chickens were hatched from her own eggs. She raised them with great difficulty and she couldn't bear to kill any of them.

After leaving the kitchen with tea, she turned back reluctantly and said, "Mom, the ducks haven't laid many eggs recently. Why don't we kill a duck?"

Qi Meixiang was still unaware of her thoughts, but she nodded and said, "Okay, then after you deliver the tea, go catch a duck in the yard!"

"Okay." Yuan Junling finally smiled and strode to the main room with tea in her hand.

Hu Changgeng and Uncle Hu were talking about Yuan Junyao's divorce.

Yuan Shisheng didn’t know many things, such as Zhang Lai Yan killing his grandmother.

He only knew that Yuan Junyao was bullied and suffered injustice, but he didn't know that she was also slandered and even kicked out of her husband's home, so how could she live in such a family?

Yuan Junyao remained silent, as if it wasn't her who was being talked about.

Yuan Shisheng had always been dissatisfied with Yuan Junyao's divorce, and even took his anger out on Hu Changgeng, thinking that he was just trying to satisfy his momentary desire to divorce them, and had never considered what Yuan Junyao would do in the future.

But as a father, he also felt sorry for his daughter, and Yuan Junyao would have someone to rely on in the future.

The house is built and there are three acres of land. Even if I don’t get married in the future, I won’t starve to death.

He sighed and said with shame, "If I were a wealthy father, I wouldn't have to wrong my daughter in every way."

Uncle Hu could actually understand him, and all the resentment in his heart disappeared.

"Jun Yao is now on her own and no longer has to rely on others. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."
