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

The rabbit meat, seasoned with many modern spices, was cooked so quickly that its aroma wafted far and wide. Xu Gong then quickly built up the rabbit hutch.

Following the aroma, she ran to the kitchen: "Little sister, are you cooking? It smells so good! Your cooking is even better than Mom's."

Xu Qing wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Second brother, come and help me start the fire."

While tending the fire and tending the pot, Xu Qing was a bit flustered, but things became much easier after Xu Gong joined in.

When Wen returned from the village chief's house, she saw a wooden plank set up in the yard to serve as a table, with a large bowl of fragrant and spicy rabbit meat on it.

There was also stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried wild vegetables, and a large bowl of white rice for each person.

Xu Jian chuckled and said, "Mom, my little sister is truly our family's lucky star. Since she came back, our meals have been getting better and better."

Xu Gong chimed in, "That's right. In the past, we would work ourselves to the bone hunting in the mountains and still not get a single bite of meat. Now we have meat with every meal."

Mrs. Wen nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you two brothers know this. The eldest should help your younger sister take care of the children, and the second brother should do more housework."

The two brothers nodded vigorously, which made Xu Qing both amused and happy.

She's only had two meals with them; she'll make sure they have meat with every meal.

After the meal, the family was so full that they slumped onto their stools.

Xu Qing said, "Big brother, I'll take care of Beibei from now on. I feel like I've recovered enough these past few days to take care of her."

Xu Jian shook his head subconsciously, repeating the same sentence:

"Mom said you need to rest well. Although Beibei is very well-behaved, she needs to be fed rice water and have her diapers changed every now and then, which is too much trouble."

Xu Qing wanted to take care of the baby herself for two reasons: first, she felt she had recovered, and second, she could buy formula from the mall to feed the baby herself.

Perhaps the original owner of this body had suffered too much loss due to the Shi family. She had tried to breastfeed Beibei before, but even after her breasts were sore from sucking, not a single drop of milk came out.

"It's better for babies to drink formula," she said, looking to Ms. Wen for help.

Knowing that her daughter could breastfeed, Ms. Wen said:

“Your brother is right. How about this? When Beibei wants to eat, you can feed her. After she’s full, you can hand her over to your older brother.”

Xu Jian nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, my little sister's health is the most important."

"Alright then, big brother, Beibei is hungry, so please carry her to my room."

The Xu family was chatting happily, while the Shi family felt aggrieved.

It turned out that after Old Man Shi told the village head about registering Shi Xiaocao's household registration, the village head readily agreed and went to town the next day.

To everyone's surprise, after the clerks in the yamen checked the records, they found that Shi Xiaocao had already been registered and renamed Xu Baobao.

The clerk angrily rebuked him for issuing two household registration documents, asking what his intentions were, and almost had him arrested.

Finally, after much pleading and begging, and even spending an ounce of silver, he was finally allowed to leave.

Upon returning to Shijia Village, the village headman angrily went straight to the Shi family, demanding that they compensate him with one tael of silver.

The Shi family dared not offend the village head, and since they were indeed responsible for the incident, they had no choice but to reluctantly pay the money.

After the village head left, Old Man Shi gave Ding a thorough dressing-down, telling her never to provoke the Xu family again.

How many stones would he have to break to earn one tael of silver? He just lost it all for nothing.

From today onwards, she can only eat wild vegetable soup and is not allowed to add cornmeal until she saves up one tael of silver.

The scolding turned Ding's face pale.

"Mother, so what if she has a household registration? That wretched girl is our family's child. If we go and demand her back, what do outsiders know about household registration?"

“We spent an ounce of silver, so even if we can’t get it back, the Xu family should compensate us.”

Ding Guihua offered suggestions from the side.

Ding was tempted by the idea, but she didn't want to eat wild vegetable soup; it was too awful and didn't fill her up.

"Let's go to Xujia Village to find her first thing tomorrow morning."

Ding Guihua smiled and agreed.

My mother-in-law is eating wild vegetable soup, which means she probably couldn't even find wild vegetables herself, so she can only drink the soup.

As long as they get the money back, their father-in-law will forgive them.

The next day.

After Ding and Ding Guihua finished preparing breakfast for Old Man Shi, they went out.

Wen also went out to buy chickens.

Few people are willing to sell hens, because hens can lay eggs, and the eggs can be sold for money.

After asking around at many stores, I finally managed to buy two chickens. They were a bit more expensive than I expected, costing 100 coins for the two chickens.

After Ms. Wen left, the chicken sellers immediately started gossiping with their neighbors.

"The Xu family spoils their daughter too much. Even after she was divorced, her mother still buys her eggs and chickens to eat."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you absolutely can't marry your daughter into a family like that. With a sister-in-law like that in your husband's family, who knows what kind of mistreatment the daughter-in-law will suffer."

"That's right, the family still owes debts. I heard that the Wen family dug up ginseng, sold it for money, and instead of thinking about paying off the debts, they're only thinking about eating and drinking. How can that be reasonable?"

Tian Daniu was working in the field nearby when he heard this. He immediately dropped his hoe and ran home.

……

When Wen arrived home, she immediately carried the two chickens into Xu Qing's room.

After the daughter fed Xu Beibei in the morning, the eldest child took the two children and the second child to the mountain to set a trap.

There were only her and her daughter at home.

However, just to be on the safe side, it's better to bring it inside.

“Daughter, I misjudged. Nobody in the village wants to sell hens. We spent 100 coins on two chickens. We won't lose money, will we?”

"Mom, don't worry, you definitely won't lose out."

Not only will they not lose money, they'll actually make a fortune.

[Ding! Genuine free-range chicken detected, 100 coins per pound, wish to sell?]

【Yes! 】

Although this chicken isn't as expensive as a wild pheasant, it's very plump.

Each chicken weighs 8 jin (4 catties), and two chickens weigh a total of 16 jin (8 catties).

The shop also thoughtfully asked her if she wanted to exchange the copper coins for silver, but a handling fee of 10 coins would be deducted for every tael of silver.

Xu Qing thought that he had a lot of copper coins at home, enough for emergencies, and that silver was easier to store, so he exchanged one tael of silver.

She handed one tael of silver and 590 coins to Wen Shi, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Mother, look."

Wen stared blankly at the silver, unable to react for a long time.

"This...this is real silver?"

Xu Qing nodded, and Wen Shi took a bite.

"Really, really!"

Wen was stuttering when he spoke.

Just then, a string of curses came from outside the courtyard.

"Xu, you little bitch, come out here!"

Wen told Xu Qing to put the silver away, then turned and left the room. Xu Qing put the silver into the shopping cart and followed her out.

"Bring Shi Xiaocao out here right now! How can someone from the Shi family live in your house?"

Xu Qing was speechless.

How can this person still be causing trouble?

"Who is Shi Xiaocao? My family only has Xu Baobao."

Ding Guihua put her hands on her hips and pointed at Xu Qing: "Don't play dumb with me. If you know what's good for you, bring the person out right now."

Xu Qing glanced at Ding Guihua casually: "So what if we don't bring it?"

Ding Guihua choked, what could she do...?

She looked to her mother-in-law for help.

Ding said firmly, "Old woman, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Xu Baobao is Shi Xiaocao, and it's perfectly legitimate for me to take my granddaughter back."

"Give me the person, and this matter between our two families will be completely settled. I, this old woman, will never cause you any more trouble."
