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

Xu Qing watched with great interest, and even grabbed a handful of melon seeds to share with Wen Shi and Xu Jian.

Aunt Chen wants to be a good person, so let her be. It just depends on whether she has the ability to do it.

Didn't you want to work in the workshop?

Just grab it yourself.

The scene was so chaotic, with so many people fighting, that it quickly alerted the village chief.

The village chief, panting, ran to the construction site and saw everyone pulling each other's hair.

The image of me slapping you and her kicking and scratching me makes me wonder if he's still asleep.

He rubbed his eyes.

It's not that he's hallucinating because he's still half asleep; it's real.

The village chief roared, "Stop it, all of you!"

When everyone heard the village chief's voice, they looked up and saw that it really was the village chief.

They all stopped instantly and stood still, leaving Aunt Chen, who had been beaten the worst, and two other women who claimed to be elders, lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Village chief: "What are you doing!"

Xu Qing patted the dust off his hands from cracking sunflower seeds, walked over to the village chief, and explained:

"Village chief, my workshop will be completed soon. Everyone wants to work in the workshop, but I only need 6 people."

Aunt Chen forced my eldest brother to marry Daya just to secure two spots, and I had no choice.

They were told to choose who would work in the workshop, but somehow the argument escalated into a fight.

The village chief pointed at the crowd with exasperation: "What's all this commotion? What's all this commotion! Qing is from our Xu Family Village."

If you hadn't caused trouble yourselves, why would she have preferred to invite people from other villages rather than you?

When the house was being built, the Wen family asked you first. You were the ones who acted arrogantly. Do you expect them to beg you to make money?

And on the way to collect sweet potatoes, don't think I don't know what people said behind their backs. They took the benefits from others and then gossiped about them.

"It's understandable that they didn't invite you. I'm making this clear today: anyone who dares to cause trouble again will be expelled from Xu Family Village, just like that rogue Xu!"

The group shuddered; they never expected the village chief to speak so harshly.

Aunt Tian mustered her courage and said, "Village chief, what you said is true, but it also comes with sincerity."

"You can't generalize and condemn everyone who wants to find work at Qingya's workshop."

The village chief sneered, "Blame those troublemakers. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Don't blame Qing'er."

As soon as the village chief said this, those who had never spoken ill of Xu Qing's family before hated those "bad apples" to the core.

Especially Aunt Chen, everyone wanted to beat her up again.

Sensing the angry glares from the crowd, Aunt Chen, with her hair pulled into a mess like a bird's nest, clutched her aching back and got up from the ground.

"Qing girl, you promised my family that we would take two spots. You can't go back on your word now, in front of the village chief."

Xu Qing: "You said you wanted two spots, when did I agree to that?"

Everyone felt they couldn't get into Xu Qing's workshop, and they especially didn't want Aunt Chen to go in, so they all said:

"We didn't hear Qingya agree to anything. It's you who's been shamelessly pestering me."

"If I had known you were so shameless, why would Qing's family use blue bricks to build their house? They could have just used your face."

Aunt Chen felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe, so suffocated that she couldn't speak.

Xu Qing then said, "Aunt Tian's words make sense, but I don't know who is truly sincere about wanting to come."

How about this: anyone who wants to work, go and sign up with the village chief.

Then the village chief will choose. He knows everyone best, so he'll be fair and impartial, okay?

The village chief didn't want the villagers to fight over this matter anymore; he still remembered what the county magistrate had said.

If he can't manage the village affairs well, then we'll elect another village head to help him.

If the county magistrate found out about this, things would be terrible, so he nodded in agreement.

Hearing that there was still hope, no one had any objections.

They all excitedly ran to the village chief to register.

Seeing everyone circling around Xu Qing and the village chief, Da Ya felt both sad and envious.

Silently, they helped Aunt Chen, who was still pounding her chest in frustration, home.

After everyone registered, the crowd dispersed.

Xu Qing called out to the village chief, who was also about to leave: "Uncle Dehua, thank you."

The village chief smiled wryly and said, "Why say such things? I am really incompetent as the village chief. The villagers are so disunited."

Xu Qing: "This is not your fault. How can you control what other people think or do?"

I called you not to thank you, but to tell you that we should go to my house and talk.

The village chief followed Xu Qing and Wen Shi back to the Xu family's thatched cottage.

As soon as Wen arrived home, she went to check on Xu Beibei. Seeing that Huiniang was holding her and sleeping soundly, she quietly withdrew.

Xu Qing invited the village chief to sit down inside the house. With Wen Shi and Hui Niang at home, there was nothing to worry about.

As soon as they sat down, the village chief asked, "What's the matter? It's so mysterious, why do you have to come inside to talk about it?"

Xu Qing: "Actually, my workshop needs 7 people, but I reserved one spot for you, Uncle Dehua."

Don't rush to refuse, here's the thing. After the workshop is built, I will also hire people to clear land and cultivate it.

As you know, I have so much wasteland, and it's simply not realistic to rely on people to cultivate it, so I need to use oxen to plow the land.

So I wanted to hire someone with an oxcart to help me deliver goods. Brother Jianguo happens to have an oxcart, and I trust you guys.

"Since I need to use your oxcart, I'll give you 25 coins a day, how about that, Uncle Dehua?"

How could the village chief refuse? Actually, he really wanted his family to sign up, but there were so few spots available, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Now Xu Qing has reserved a spot specifically for his family, and no one else can find a reason to complain, because his family is the only one in the village with an oxcart.

The village chief immediately stood up and thanked Xu Qing sincerely.

Madam Wen brought in the tea and said with a smile:

"Why are you being so polite? Qing'er can't accept this. You've helped our family a lot in the past."

The village chief took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "Wen-meizi, you've given birth to a wonderful daughter. Qing-ya is a blessed girl."

Ms. Wen covered her mouth and laughed, "I also think I gave birth to a good daughter."

Xu Qing could praise her mother's behavior without blushing in any situation or in front of anyone.

At first she felt embarrassed, but now she's numb to it.

……

The provincial capital.

Inside the Cui family study.

Cui Yifeng looked at the letter in his hand, his brows relaxed, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"I hope this time I won't be disappointed again."

He picked up his pen and wrote a reply, then sent it to Dukou Town by fast horse.

Cui Yi listened to the night watchman's drum outside, then looked at Cui Er, who had come to knock on his door at two in the morning.

He yawned and said, "What brings you here?"

Cui Er handed over the envelope: "A letter from the young master."

Cui Yi stopped yawning halfway through and quickly took the book to read it.

He thought it was some important mission, but it turned out to be just this?

He was told to do everything in his power to build a good relationship with Xu Qing and find out about the peace lock. He promised to finish his work and come over immediately.

Please, his good young master, he's a perfectly fine unmarried young man.

How exactly do I build a good relationship with Xu Qing? What if she thinks he's a lecher and slaps him? He'll have nowhere to turn then.
