[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 49 The Cowardly Wife 4

Zhang Xiu picked up the red hairband and tied it directly on her hair. She asked Qin's mother, "Mom, does it look good?"

"It looks good!" Mother Qin nodded with a smile.

Qin Shuisheng had been gone for seven years, and Zhang Xiu had been a widow for seven years. Qin's mother always felt that she had let her down.

That night, Mother Qin and Father Qin discussed: "Dad, we don't know whether Shuisheng is alive or dead. There has been no news for so many years. Xiu'er is still young. Are we really going to let her stay with us two old men like this?"

Father Qin washed his feet in silence for a long time. After wiping his feet, he said to Mother Qin, "Ask her tomorrow and see what she thinks."

Mother Qin nodded and sighed.

When Qin Shuisheng was about to leave, they shamelessly married Zhang Xiu, wanting Qin Shuisheng to have a taste of being a groom. However, due to time constraints, they didn't even have a wedding banquet. It was their Qin family who let Zhang Xiu down.

The next day, when Qin's mother asked Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu refused outright.

She took Qin's mother's hand and said, "Mom, ever since I married here, you and Dad have treated me as your own daughter. Brother Shuisheng and I are already married. Whether he is alive or dead, I am his wife. When he is gone, I will take care of you two on his behalf. Please don't mention remarriage anymore!"

Seeing Zhang Xiu's serious expression, Mother Qin lowered her head, wiped her tears, and said, "Xiu'er, the old man and I are your real parents, and the eldest and second sons are your real brothers. We will definitely treat you well!"

Zhang Xiu hugged Qin's mother and patted her back to comfort her silently.

The Qin family are all ordinary people. In the original plot, Qin's father and mother were tortured to death but they still refused to give in. As long as she is with them in this life, she will never let them be bullied by the enemy.

She just hoped that the news of Qinglong Village would not scare the old couple.

The affairs of Qinglong Village could not be abandoned, but with Qin's father and mother around, Zhang Xiu could not leave home for a long time. After thinking about it, she went into the mountains to find a ginseng root, and then placed it on the table after dinner.

"My God, this ginseng must be valuable!" Father Qin looked at the ginseng on the table. He wanted to touch it but didn't dare to reach out his hand. He just stared at it.

Qin's mother quickly closed the doors and windows, fearing that she would be seen.

Zhang Xiu said softly, "Mom and Dad, let's go to town tomorrow and let Big Brother take a look. If you can sell it, then sell it. It will also bring some income to the family."

Mother Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, your father and I will go tomorrow!"

Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to say, "You haven't seen Zhuzi for a long time. Take this opportunity to get closer to him. I'll be waiting for you at home."

Zhuzi is Qin Jinsheng's son, and he is four years old this year.

Qin's father and mother looked at each other and nodded.

The two old men set off early the next morning.

Zhang Xiu still carried the basket and walked into the mountains.

If she stayed at home all the time, someone might come looking for her. If the villagers knew that she had gone to the mountains, they would not come to the Qin family and knock on the door.

As for the night, the villagers knew that Qin's father and mother were out, and Zhang Xiu was the only one at Qin's house, so those who knew what was good for them would not come.

Moreover, the Qin family's home is at the foot of the mountain, a certain distance away from other houses and fields in the village. Usually, apart from some children who go up the mountain to pick fruits, not many people come here.

Qinglong Village.

Fu Qiusheng had a headache.

He looked at Cao Gui and Mao Sanmei, who were hunching their necks like quails, and couldn't help but sigh: "So, I'm gone for five days, and our Qinglong Village has a new leader?"

Cao Gui and Mao Sanmei exchanged a glance, and Mao Sanmei whispered, "The boss is really powerful. All of us combined can't beat her..."

Cao Gui nodded in agreement.

Fu Qiusheng was a smart man, and smart people tend to overthink things. He had never met Zhang Xiu before, and he was worried she might be a pawn of some other faction, intent on annexing Qinglong Village. But then he thought, she was already the head of Qinglong Village. If she was from another village, they would probably rush in and tie Cao Gui up the moment she entered.

Fu Qiusheng was so worried that he had a headache. He was just about to go to the warehouse to do some accounting and relax when Zhang Xiu came in.

"Boss!" Mao Sanmei was cheered up and was quite happy to see Zhang Xiu again.

Before Zhang Xiu left, he taught her a few moves. Now she can fight Cao Gui on equal terms. People of the same gender are always closer to each other, so Mao Sanmei is the one who identifies most with Zhang Xiu in Qinglong Village.

Zhang Xiu smiled and nodded to Mao Sanmei.

Cao Gui hung his head and whispered hello, "Boss!"

Cao Gui finally fell in love with a woman, but Zhang Xiu was already married. Now he was heartbroken, and he felt uncomfortable facing Zhang Xiu, who had taken his place and hurt his heart.

Fu Qiusheng looked at the frail Zhang Xiu and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He suspected that Cao Gui and Mao Sanmei were trying to trick him.

How could such a weak woman defeat Cao Gui and Mao Sanmei?

However, he was deep in thought, and his mind was turning several bends, but his face remained calm. He smiled and bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "I am Fu Qiusheng, nice to meet the boss!"

Zhang Xiu saw through Fu Qiusheng's wariness and suspicion at a glance, but she didn't take it to heart. She just asked Cao Gui to call over several key leaders in the village and planned to hold a meeting.

In the current Qinglongzhai, Zhang Xiu is the boss, Cao Gui is the second in command, Fu Qiusheng is the third in command, Mao Sanmei is the fourth in command, and Li San was barely the fifth in command, but he did not follow the moral code of martial arts and pulled a gun on Zhang Xiu, and was beaten up by Zhang Xiu. Now he is still lying in bed and cannot get up.

Cao Gui and Mao Sanmei each have two small leaders under them, and each small leader is in charge of about a hundred people.

Fu Qiusheng has always been in charge of the role of "military advisor", and is also in charge of accounting and purchasing. He has more than 50 people under him.

Li San works as a "scout". He has more than fifty people under him, all of whom are good at gathering information.

Including the relatives of the bandits, there are more than 500 people in the entire Qinglong Village, which is really a big village.

No wonder the nearby forces dare not offend Qinglong Village easily.

However, it is definitely impossible for Cao Gui to manage Qinglong Village in such an orderly manner. The ones who should make the most of it are Fu Qiusheng and Li San.

Because of his own experience, Fu Qiusheng established the "Three No-Robbery" rule for the village, which mitigated the hostility of the people in the nearby villages toward Qinglong Village. Furthermore, Fu Qiusheng, having studied and worked as an accountant, understood many principles and was well versed in human nature, allowing him to quickly eliminate destabilizing factors and maintain the stability of Qinglong Village.

Li San was Cao Gui's "toxic fan," diligently maintaining Cao Gui's dignity and image, and was considered the most lackey in Qinglong Village. Furthermore, having been a beggar, he knew how to read people's expressions, acted cautiously, and was good at gathering information, so he often cleaned up for Cao Gui.

Zhang Xiu spared Li San's life because he was impressed by his abilities.

Some of these were derived by Zhang Xiu through her own observation, and some were told to her by Niu Da.

Oh, Niu Da Niu Da has now become Zhang Xiu's "personal guard", following Zhang Xiu all day long with a big knife as a background board.
