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

Hearing this, Da Ya was relieved.

She happily followed Xu Jian into the Xu family's new house.

When she stepped onto the stone slabs in the courtyard, she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Starting tomorrow, she will be able to live in this beautiful house and eat white rice and fatty pork every meal.

No more grueling work, just like Xu Baobao and Xu Zhenzhen, dressed smartly and beautifully.

Daya was lost in her beautiful fantasy and didn't notice that Xu Jian had stopped walking.

"Boom"

Daya bumped into Xu Jian's back.

I really don't know why Xu Jian's back is so hard; it bumped into her face and made it hurt.

Xu Jian stood still, not moving forward. Da Ya rubbed her cheek and said coquettishly:

"Brother Xu, why are you stopping? Didn't you say you wanted to go back to sleep soon?"

Hui Niang stood in the shadows of the second gate, her hands clenched tightly, but her voice was calm as she asked, "Who's behind you?"

Xu Jian was completely bewildered. He said in confusion, "Hui Niang, why did you run to the front again? Weren't you just behind me?"

Da Ya, who was behind Xu Jian, realized that they had run into the person in question.

However, she wasn't flustered, since Xu Jian had pulled her in by the hand.

Da Ya jumped out from behind Xu Jian, sticking out her tongue and said, "Sister Hui Niang, it's me. Brother Xu sent me."

Hui Niang knew that Xu Jiancai had rejected Daya not long ago, and the two families had even had a very ugly falling out.

It's impossible for Xu Jian to go looking for her now, considering what he just said.

Hui Niang realized that Xu Jian must have been drunk and had mistaken her for someone else.

She smiled slightly, like a crabapple blossom blooming in the night.

"Thank you for bringing him back, Daya. I'll have my younger sister come to thank you in person tomorrow. It's so late, I won't keep you any longer. Please go back."

Hui Niang's beautiful appearance made Daya extremely jealous.

She really is a vixen; otherwise, how could there be a scoundrel like Xu first, and then Xu Jian?

"Brother Xu invited me here, I didn't come on my own."

Daya glared at Huiniang defiantly, then tugged at Xu Jian's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Xu, am I right?"

Hui Niang glanced at Xu Jian gently and asked, "Is what she said true? Did you really invite her?"

Xu Jian glanced at "Hui Niang" who was holding his arm, and then at Hui Niang in front of him.

I watched it several times before I finally recognized the person.

In an instant, Xu Jian jumped eight zhang away, sobered up halfway, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey! What are you doing in my house! Why are you grabbing me? Let go!"

Hearing this, Daya stopped being coquettish and adopted the same tantrum-throwing attitude as her mother, putting her hands on her hips and saying:

"Xu Jian, you were the one who grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go, and dragged me in here, have you forgotten?"

This time it's not me clinging to you. It's late at night, and I'm still at your house instead of going home. My mother definitely knows. So, what are we going to do?

Xu Jian sobered up now and realized the foolish thing he had done. He apologized, "Da Ya, I'll take you home now..."

Hui Niang grabbed Xu Jian, interrupting him.

"Why did you send her here? She took advantage of our situation and shamelessly followed us to our house, and she still thinks she's right?"

Then he looked at Daya and said, "You said Xu Jian brought you here, right? What proof do you have? Did anyone see it?"

Everyone knows that your family will do anything disgusting and despicable to cling to your little sister.

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better go back quietly. If you make a scene, you won't get away with it."

Da Ya was stunned. Hui Niang, who usually kept quiet and only buried herself in her work, was now completely dumbfounded.

How quick-witted he is now, and how vicious his words are!

She didn't react for a while. Xu Jian thought that it was his responsibility after all, and he felt a little guilty.

"I'll take you back. I'll explain everything to Aunt Chen."

Hearing Xu Jian's words, Daya finally realized what was happening and said with a wronged expression, "Brother Xu, Sister Huiniang is so fierce! I didn't do it."

Hui Niang felt goosebumps all over; she had originally wanted to help Xu Jian avoid this kind of trouble.

Given Aunt Chen's nature, if Xu Jian dares to send Daya back, she will definitely cling to him and force him to marry Daya.

Now that Xu Jian is willing to jump into the fire, why should she stop him?

Hui Niang said nothing more and turned to leave.

Seeing Hui Niang leave with a cold face, Xu Jian immediately became anxious. He said to Daya:

"Wait here for me a moment, I'll go get my little sister to take you home."

After saying that, he took off chasing after Hui Niang.

Daya stared at the two people who had suddenly disappeared before her eyes, completely at a loss for what to do.

But she was unwilling to let her go back so dejectedly.

Da Ya was torn between two conflicting thoughts; she wanted to gamble on Xu Jian's remorse.

She was also afraid that Xu Jian would listen to Hui Niang.

Xu Qing is a heartless wretch. Even her mother didn't get away with anything from her last time. She's even worse than her mother.

"What are you thinking?"

Xu Qing's voice suddenly came out, startling Daya so much that she almost fell to the ground.

"Let's talk."

A moment later, Xu Qing and Da Ya sat down in the reception room.

Xu Qing lit the candlestick, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by bright candlelight.

She never got used to nights without electric lights, and once she had the means, she preferred to light more candles.

This extravagant act made Daya grit her teeth in anger.

They had to be very careful with the lamp oil they made themselves, and they had to get everything done before dark.

When she went to the toilet, she could only feel her way in the dark by the moonlight.

Xu Qing came with a lantern, and now he's lit so many candles for lighting.

She lowered her eyes and looked around the room.

The brand-new tables and chairs still exuded the fresh scent of wood, and the snacks on the table were ones she had never eaten before in her life.

Her mother told her to marry into the Xu family at all costs, even if it meant being a concubine.

She was initially unwilling; the women in the village all said they would rather be a wife who had shared hardship than a concubine who was wealthy.

But today, having witnessed the benefits of being rich once again, her mindset has changed somewhat.

Xu Qing sat in the main seat and gestured for Daya to sit as well.

"I already know the reason behind tonight's events, and I know what you want. But let me tell you clearly, it's impossible. Neither my mother nor I will agree."

After their last encounter, Da Ya knew that throwing a tantrum at Xu Qing wouldn't work.

She said sarcastically, "Even an honest person like me is looked down upon by this family. I thought the Xu family had such high standards. I never expected that they would take a fancy to a widow who has lost her husband and is raising a child alone."

The barbecue was a bit salty that evening, so Xu Qing picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a couple of sips slowly.

Then he said, "Although my elder brother started this tonight's events, if you hadn't harbored malicious intentions, none of this would have happened."

My older brother doesn't like you, and you won't be happy if you marry him. Besides, everyone in the village knows you'd do anything to marry my older brother.

If we deny everything tonight, do you think people will believe you or our family?

Daya was secretly annoyed. They really weren't family.

Hui Niang threatened her like that just now, and now Xu Qing is threatening her with the same words!

But what they said was true. Was she really going to give up this easy prize?

No, I have to get something in return.

"You said it yourself, it was Xu Jianqi who was in charge. Now, because of him, I've become the laughingstock of the whole village."

I don't expect him to marry me as his principal wife; I'd rather be his concubine.

Otherwise, if I go back today, I'll really have no way to survive.

As she spoke, Daya knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
