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

Daya still trembled a little when she thought about the scene when she woke up at Xu Wulai's house that day and saw a group of people surrounding her.

Xu Wulai has had a very difficult time ever since he was poisoned and rendered mute by Xu Qing.

After he woke up from his coma, he found that he could no longer speak.

It was pitch black all around. He lay naked in the dilapidated house, and the wind outside made the broken door of the house creak and groan.

He got goosebumps all over.

After groping his way to put on his clothes, he wanted to go find Old Man Shi and ask him what had happened.

Unexpectedly, it was Old Man Shi's eldest son who opened the door.

When he went to bring Old Man Shi back, he saw Xu Wulai.

Seeing that this man still dared to come knocking, he picked up a stick and, without saying a word, gave Xu the scoundrel a sound beating, leaving him sprawled on the ground, teeth chattering.

Xu Wulai fled back to his mother-in-law's house in a sorry state.

But without the food provided by Old Man Shi, his mother-in-law refused to take him in any longer.

Unable to speak, he gestured incessantly with his hands and feet, pleading desperately.

I hope to leave my son here. It doesn't matter if he goes out, as long as he stays here, he can at least have food to eat.

If I follow him, where will I find a way to survive?

But his mother-in-law didn't buy it.

She pointed at Xu Dazhu and said, "Blame it on you for not teaching him properly. He's a real ingrate who can't be raised."

I've already been under a lot of pressure just for taking you in. Everyone knows why you were kicked out of Xujia Village.

They actually dared to steal! Stealing from my house is one thing, but stealing from the neighbor's is quite another! Get out of here right now!

Xu Wulai had no choice but to leave his mother-in-law's house with his son in a sorry state and return to the dilapidated house, where he temporarily stayed.

Just when he was about to go broke, a group of people started spying around Xujia Village.

The group consisted mostly of women and teenagers, with a few young adults as well.

He was dressed in very tattered clothes, looking like a beggar.

They discovered Xu the Scoundrel living in a dilapidated house.

They came to ask if Xu Wulai was from Xujia Village and if Xu Qing lived here.

Xu Wulai couldn't speak, so he could only gesture to ask these people for food. If there was food, he would tell them.

Fortunately, there were people in the crowd who knew sign language, and after some gesturing, they were able to communicate.

Both sides obtained the information they wanted and learned what kind of people the other was.

These people were relatives of bandits. Originally, the whole village went to plead for them, and the county magistrate could not possibly ignore it.

There's a high chance they won't die; they'll just be exiled or imprisoned.

But then the county magistrate suddenly produced some sweet potatoes for everyone to grow and promised to reduce or exempt taxes.

After everyone took the benefits, they abandoned them, leaving only a dozen or so people.

The county magistrate threatened them, saying that if they didn't leave, he would arrest them and put them in jail.

They had no choice but to watch helplessly as their loved ones were beheaded and their heads displayed to the public.

They were heartbroken; those bandits were the pillars of their families.

When bandits were around, they lived a very comfortable life, and the villagers also benefited from it.

Now that the bandits have been eliminated, their lives have plummeted. Unwilling to accept this, they used all their wealth to bribe a yamen runner.

After making inquiries, it was discovered that the sweet potatoes were presented by a woman named Xu Qing, and the way the county magistrate dealt with them was also told to him by Xu Qing.

They decided to make Xu Qing pay for their loved ones' lives.

Xu Wulai was overjoyed. He also hated Xu Qing to the core. It was as if heaven was helping him!

After discussing it, the group decided to first gather information and understand the enemy before launching a decisive attack.

Fortunately, the village now has workshops that produce squat toilets, and people from nearby villages and even the village chiefs of the neighboring town come to buy them.

There are often strangers in the village, so they don't attract attention when they go in.

Xu Wulai couldn't speak, but he drew a general map of the village. He circled Xu Qing's house.

The group went in in batches and learned that Xu Qing's elder brother, Xu Jianyue, was getting married in the middle of the month, and that a woman seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that he was going to marry her.

The villagers were laughing at her, and it seemed that this woman also had some disputes with Xu Qing's family.

Adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the group decided to recruit this woman into their ranks.

After staking out the area for several days, they finally made their move on a dark and stormy night.

They took Daya to Xu Wulai's old house.

After explaining their plan, they asked Daya if she agreed. If she didn't, they would have to kill her to avoid being exposed.

How could Da Ya dare to refuse? Although she didn't think highly of this group at all, so what if they had sleeping pills?

Xu Qing is a very strange person. He has dozens of workers at home, and they are all strong men.

How could these people, who looked like beggars and were malnourished and emaciated, possibly be a match for them?

But in order to survive, Da Ya nodded at a speed comparable to the speed of light.

To show his loyalty, he also said many bad things about Xu Qing.

Although it was also what she truly felt.

After the group let her go, Daya was extremely conflicted.

Although she hated Xu Qing and Xu Jian and wished them dead, she wouldn't dare to actually drug and kill them.

When she arrived at her doorstep, Daya thought of her parents waiting for her at home, and with a determined heart, she ran towards Xu Qing's house.

……

Today is Xu Jian's wedding day.

Although it only took half a month from engagement to marriage.

Xu Jian, a man who had been single for over twenty years, felt that each day was an eternity.

Seeing Hui Niang every day, yet unable to touch or caress her, caused me immense distress, like being scratched by a cat.

They had finally waited for their wedding day.

He started having insomnia at night.

Hui Niang was extremely nervous.

Although she had been married once before, that time she was simply taken from her parents' home to her husband's home by a cart, and she received nothing.

This time, however, there was a lot of music and celebration, and red cloth was hung everywhere in the house.

Her younger sister also prepared a red cotton wedding dress for her, embroidered with flowers.

It all feels like a dream.

The only thing that puzzled her was that her younger sister told her not to lift the veil no matter what she heard today, and that Xu Jian would guide her through the process.

Madam Wen and Xu Qing greeted the guests at the door. The county magistrate's wife had arrived especially early in order to see her son.

The magistrate's wife stepped down from the carriage with great poise, with Qiuqiu serving her at her side.

"Good morning, Madam. Young Master Zhou is roasting sweet potatoes in the backyard. Let me take you there."

Xu Qing smiled and said considerately.

The magistrate's wife gave Qiuqiu a look, and Qiuqiu presented the gift with both hands, saying:

"Thank you for your trouble, Madam Xu. You're busy, we'll go by ourselves."

Ms. Wen accepted Qiuqiu's gift, turned around and handed it to Aunt Zhao, who had come to help, saying happily:

“This is Madam’s first time here, so she may not be familiar with the way. Let me lead the way. With Qing’er here, things won’t get in the way.”

The magistrate's wife scoffed. How could she possibly get lost in such a small house?

However, she still nodded reservedly.

"Then lead the way."

Wen lowered her eyes and glanced at Xu Qing casually.

Seeing that she nodded almost imperceptibly, he felt relieved and led the magistrate's wife to the backyard.
