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

After the meal, the girls each received 600 coins, and Zhou Chenggong insisted that they treat him to a meal.

Zhenzhen has never had a proper chance to go out and play. Before, she was a little beggar, struggling every day to find food.

Later, he followed the one-armed beggar around every day, setting up a stall and helping out.

Today is the little girl's birthday, so the one-armed beggar drove the three children to town to play.

Old Man Qian and Qian Baizhi were about to go home when Madam Wen called them back:

"My dear in-law, no rush. You haven't had a proper look at our new house yet. How about I show you around?"

Old Man Qian also hoped that his granddaughter and Xu Gong could develop a better relationship, so he agreed.

Wen led Old Man Qian away, leaving Xu Qing, Qian Baizhi, and Xu Gong behind.

As soon as his elders left, Xu Gong immediately spoke the words he had been holding back all morning.

"Bai Zhi, you should marry into our family and live with Doctor Qian. The west wing is big enough for the three of us."

Qian Baizhi stamped her foot: "My little sister is still here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xu Gong: "This is what my younger sister told me to say."

Qian Baizhi looked at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing nodded.

"Miss Baizhi, you and your second brother are in love, why don't you get together sooner? I've started a workshop now, haven't I?"

"Then we can start a herbal medicine workshop together. If you bring Doctor Qian over, no one will have anything to say."

Hearing this, Xu Gong looked Xu Qing up and down and asked, "Little sister, you didn't have this plan in mind from the beginning, did you?"

Xu Qing said without batting an eye, "How could that be? I'm just trying to help you two. If you don't believe me, that's fine."

Qian Baizhi glared at Xu Gong, then hurriedly said to Xu Qing:

"Little sister, don't listen to him, I believe you. I'll talk to Grandpa about it when we get back today. But what is a herbal medicine workshop?"

Xu Qing: "Medicinal herbs can be sold for a higher price after processing. Doctor Qian relies on this to make a living, right?"

Qian Baizhi nodded: "Indeed, the consultation fee is actually very low, but the medicinal materials are expensive."

In the countryside, people tend to endure minor illnesses and pains rather than spend money on medical treatment.

My grandfather and I would usually go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, which we would then sell to the pharmacies in town.

Xu Qing: "We can set up a herbal medicine workshop, where we can buy medicinal herbs from the villagers or grow them ourselves."

I still have such a large wasteland here, and then Doctor Qian taught a few apprentices how to process medicinal herbs, and then resold them to pharmacies.

However, this matter requires Dr. Qian's approval first. I'm telling you this so I can get your opinion first. If you agree, then we can ask Dr. Qian for his opinion.

Qian Baizhi: "Okay, I'll talk to Grandpa when I get back, and he'll definitely agree. He originally wanted to pass on his medical skills."

But learning this takes too much time. I've been studying it for so many years and I'm only barely scratching the surface.

Everyone wants to learn a skill that will make money quickly. Several people came to become apprentices before, but they all left after a year or two.

While Qian Baizhi was talking to Xu Qing, Wen Shi was taking Old Man Qian for a stroll in the west wing.

"My dear in-law, what do you think of this room? Are you satisfied?"

Old Man Qian stroked his beard with satisfaction. Every room in the west wing was spacious and bright, and the furniture inside was complete.

What pleased him most was the outhouse. According to Wen, each room was equipped with an outhouse to prevent people from fighting over them.

"Is this what Qingyatou's workshop produces? On my way into the village, I heard people in your village discussing building outhouses."

Ms. Wen nodded with a smile: "Yes, isn't this outhouse much better than the old one? It doesn't smell and it's safe."

"We're older now, and our legs aren't as strong as younger people's. We're always afraid of falling."

Old Man Qian chimed in, "That's right. It's truly shameful to say, it's because of this old codger of mine that Baizhi has been dragged down and has refused to get married. My dear in-law, I hope you'll forgive me."

"Oh dear, what are you saying? This just proves that Baizhi is a filial and good child."

However, it's not good for the two children to keep dragging on like this, as they are both getting on in years.

"Now I have an idea, and I'd like to share it with you, in-law."

As soon as Wen spoke, Old Man Qian became a little nervous, fearing that the Xu family would break off the engagement in anger.

This marriage was hard-won, and the granddaughter genuinely liked this Xu family boy. If this matter were to fall apart, the granddaughter might have no choice but to become a nun for the rest of her life.

"What's your idea? Tell me, I'll have a good talk with this girl when I get back today, and tomorrow we'll pick an auspicious day for the two children to get married."

Knowing that Old Man Qian had misunderstood, Madam Wen smiled and said:

"No rush, no rush, in-law, let me finish what I have to say. You've already seen our courtyard, and you're satisfied with it."

After Baizhi marries into the family, you can move in with us too. That way, Baizhi can rest assured.

Don't worry about what outsiders will say. We've already thought of a reason: you're here to teach the second son medicine.

Old Man Qian couldn't bring himself to refuse, but during dinner today, he watched the lively Xu family.

He thought about how after his granddaughter got married, he would live alone in Qianjia Village, which would be cold and desolate.

I have no one to talk to anymore, and I'm thinking about getting a dog so I won't be too lonely.

“Alright, as long as Xu Gong is willing to learn, I will definitely pass on all my skills to him, so that my Qian family will have a successor.”

Mrs. Wen smiled even more happily, finally there was hope of holding her grandchildren!

"Then I'll ask the matchmaker to pick a date tomorrow, and I'll send it over for you to see once it's chosen."

……

Xu Qing and Qian Baizhi reached a consensus, as did Wen Shi and Old Man Qian.

That settles the matter.

Since they weren't officially married yet, it wasn't appropriate for them to stay too late at the Xu family's house, so Old Man Qian and Qian Baizhi went home in the afternoon.

Xu Qing took some time to deliver Cui Yiding's milk tea to Dukou Town.

She could have asked Xu Jian to deliver it, but she was worried that the person was from the Cui family and decided to see what kind of trouble they would cause.

So I went there in person.

After receiving the milk tea, Cui Yi ordered another 2000 servings.

Cui Yi's idea was simple: the best way to build a good relationship with Xu Qing before the young master arrived was to support her business.

Who doesn't like money?

That evening, they had a barbecue in the yard, and Xu Jian pulled out a jar of wine from somewhere.

"If you're going to eat meat in big gulps, you have to drink alcohol in big gulps. What's the point of drinking this sweet stuff?"

He lifted the lid and poured a bowl for each of the men in the yard.

He glanced furtively at Hui Niang, who was busy grilling meat for everyone.

Xu Jian took the lead and drank the wine in his bowl in one gulp.

"Cool!"

Ms. Wen advised, "You have to deliver goods tomorrow, so drink less."

Xu Jian: "Mom, don't worry, I'm just having a good time, I won't get drunk."

I can't do without drinking. I'm too embarrassed to confess my feelings without drinking. If I don't drink, I'll blush if I talk to Hui Niang for more than a few minutes.

Alcohol emboldens the timid; tonight I must speak my mind.

Thinking that it was rare for the house to be lively, Ms. Wen stopped trying to dissuade them.

Before they knew it, everyone had finished the whole jar of wine, and Xu Gong was so drunk that he was slumped over the table.

The one-armed beggar helped Xu Gong back into the house, and the children, tired from playing, went back to rest.

Wen took Xu Beibei back to their room to rest.

Xu Qing began to calculate the accounts for the milk tea and squat toilet sales over the past few days.

Only Hui Niang and Xu Jian remained in the courtyard.
