Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and circled around Aunt Chen, who was sitting on the ground, looking down at the shameless old hag.

Aunt Chen said matter-of-factly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

"Your two older brothers are married and have babies, and your sister-in-law's relatives come to stay every few days; there's never enough room for everyone."

Xu Qing stopped, took out the land deed and house deed from his pocket, slowly unfolded them, and then showed them to the onlookers.

Then he took it to Aunt Chen and showed it to her.

"Have you seen it clearly? This land deed and house deed are all in my name, Xu Qing."

I paid for the house myself. Why should I live in a thatched hut?

I haven't finished my third point yet, why are you in such a hurry? I really will move out, and not only that, we'll separate our households.

When Madam Wen heard about the division of the family property, she was extremely anxious. However, remembering the reassuring look in her daughter's eyes earlier, she had no choice but to suppress her words and stand at the back, feeling resentful.

Even if they separate, she wants to go with her daughter; that brat will only cause her trouble! Sons are such a nuisance.

The onlookers were stunned into silence. They had no idea what was going on with the Xu family. How could they allow a woman who had been divorced to manage the family's finances?

When Aunt Chen heard about the division of the family property, she was overjoyed and jumped up from the ground:

“You keep your word. You said you wanted to split up the family business, we didn’t force you.”

Separating the family property is good! After the separation, Da Ya can be in charge once she marries in. She can get a large share of the house, money, and the business...

Aunt Chen was already calculating in her mind how to spend that money.

Xu Qing nodded: "It was my own choice to separate from the family. My eldest and second eldest brothers helped me with the work for 25 days."

Each person earns 30 coins per day, that's 750 coins per person, and here's 1500 coins. Here, Mother, please put this away for my eldest and second brothers.

Because of my contribution of sweet potatoes, the county magistrate promised to grant me a request. Now is the perfect time for me to ask the county magistrate to allow me to register a household with a woman.

I've already paid my older brothers' wages, and I bought all the rice, pork, chicken, and beef for the family.

"I'm taking mine, and Wangcai belongs to Baobao, so he has to be taken too. Mom, you don't mind, right?"

Ms. Wen finally understood what her daughter meant, and felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

"I have no objection, let's do it this way. But daughter, can I go with you?"

I'll go help you take care of Beibei. I don't want to stay home serving this whole family; it's exhausting just looking at them.

Xu Qing nodded, then turned to Chen Ershen: "Alright, now that it's not just Daya who wants to marry my brother, but even if you marry my brother, I have no objection."

Aunt Chen was stunned and stammered, "Is it all divided up already? What about the house and the money? Aren't you going to give them up for distribution?"

Xu Qing said with a smile, "Second Aunt, didn't I just show you? The house and the money are all mine, why should I take them out to divide?"

Aunt Chen: "Don't try to fool me. I've heard about it. The matchmaker said that when Xu Gong proposed marriage..."

The betrothal gifts consisted of 20 taels of silver and a complete set of silver jewelry. Where did Xu Gong get the money?

"Xu Gongyou has it, and Xu Jian has to give it to my eldest daughter according to the same standards!"

Even the villagers, who were already numb with shock, felt their worldview being refreshed once again.

"Wow, 20 taels! A whole set of silver jewelry! The Xu family is so rich!"

"Even a dowry of two taels of silver is considered a lot for an ordinary family. Whose daughter is this? She's worth so much!"

"That's the granddaughter of Doctor Qian from Qianjia Village, who came to the housewarming banquet last time. I must say, she's quite a pretty girl. Doctor Qian is also skilled in medicine, so 20 taels is a good deal."

Hearing the villagers' words, Xu Qing spoke up:

"This aunt is right, but Dr. Qian also prepared a very large dowry for his granddaughter."

"Ten acres of fertile land, forty taels of silver, and they'll even teach my second brother medical skills..."

Xu Qing changed the subject and looked at Aunt Chen: "What do you have as a dowry? If it's a lot, I can also contribute some betrothal gifts for my elder brother."

Aunt Chen was speechless for a moment. What dowry would her family provide? She didn't want to provide anything.

She was hoping that Daya would marry Xu Jian, help out the family, and live a good life like Xu Qing!

Now tell her that Xu Qing has separated from the family, and Xu Jian doesn't have a single penny. He probably can't even afford a dowry of 2 taels of silver. Why should she get married?

But if she says she won't get married now, what will people think of her...?

“Even if Brother Xu has nothing, I’m still willing to marry him. I don’t need a dowry,” Daya said firmly.

Aunt Chen's forehead veins throbbed as she listened, and she poked Daya's forehead hard with her finger: "You brat, how shameless of you to say such things!"

You don't want anything? You're out of your mind! You raise a child only to have them marry and collect a dowry!

Daya stood stubbornly in place, looking straight at Xu Qing: "Sister Qing, Aunt Wen, I'm telling you the truth, I really like Brother Xu."

Daya's thinking was very simple. Her mother initially wanted her to seduce Xu Jian, painting a beautiful picture of the future for her, and she was indeed tempted.

But Xu Jian didn't like her, and there was nothing she could do. She had already gone to such lengths, but Xu Jian still didn't like her.

Now that things have turned out this way, if she fails to marry Xu Jian and escape this family, her mother will definitely beat her to death and then send her far away to marry off to any man who pays her.

Rather than that, she would rather marry Xu Jian, at least she knows something about Xu Jian and the Wen family.

Xu Qing, however, looked at Daya with new respect: "It's your business if you like my older brother. Whether my older brother marries you or not is up to him. Anyway, my mother and I have no objection."

Daya turned around and ran towards Xu Jian's construction site, with Aunt Chen chasing after her while cursing.

The villagers were watching with great interest and couldn't bear to miss it, so they followed along.

The courtyard suddenly became spacious, and only then did Madam Wen cautiously speak:

"Daughter, are you really going to separate the family? But what I just said is from the bottom of my heart. If we really separate, I will definitely go with you."

Xu Qing whispered in Wen's ear, "I lied to Aunt Chen. With our parents still alive, we won't separate the family."

Although Ms. Wen did not want to separate the family, what happened today made her a little uneasy.

"Today there's Aunt Chen, but another day there might be Aunt Zhao. Girl, you've been wronged."

"Why don't we divide the family property? As long as your older brother doesn't remarry, these people will keep scheming against him."

Xu Qing said mysteriously, "Mother, don't worry, maybe my eldest brother will be here soon too."

Speaking of this, what are your requirements for your older brother's wife?

"If my elder brother were to marry a widow with children, would you agree?"

Just as Ms. Wen was about to object, she realized from Xu Qing's tone that Xu Jian might have fallen for a widow...

She stared wide-eyed at Xu Qing in disbelief.

Xu Qing nodded affirmatively.

Wen felt as if the sky had fallen.

“Girl… help me up a bit… which family does that widow belong to? I need to go and find out first.”

If they were of good character and didn't have awful family members like Aunt Chen, I might reluctantly agree...

It's because your older brother is so old, it's really hard for him to find someone. But I wouldn't want him to find someone younger either.

"When you get old, and your older brother dies first, leaving a woman all alone, like me, will be too lonely."

As Wen spoke, she convinced herself and even became sentimental.

Xu Qing pretended to be angry and said, "Mother, you have me, your two older brothers, and several well-behaved granddaughters to keep you company. Are you still lonely? Otherwise, I'll find you another companion."

Wen's sadness was dispelled by Xu Qing, who laughed and scolded, "You even dare to joke about your own mother, you have no conscience."

"I'm lucky to have such a sweet daughter like you. Look at the whole Xu family village, who else is as blessed as me?"
