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

Xu Gong sniffed the mint leaves intently, but didn't miss the opportunity to listen to his younger sister and He Hua chatting.

As I smelled it, my head stopped spinning, my chest stopped feeling tight, and I felt completely revived.

Upon hearing He Hua say she could help, Xu Gong said with a hint of gratitude:

"Miss He, this leaf of yours is so effective, thank you! I don't feel uncomfortable at all now."

He Hua looked at Xu Gong and asked, "What are you going to sell in the prefectural city?"

Xu Gong didn't answer immediately. He scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"It's not like we're selling anything. My sister and I are just going to check out the market first."

Xu Qing nodded secretly, thinking that his second brother was quite reliable.

Fortunately, it was my second brother. If I had brought my eldest brother, he probably would have confessed everything as soon as they asked.

At this moment, an elderly woman with gray hair and a slightly hunched back came forward, took He Hua's hand, and said:

"Son, go inside and sit down. What are you doing standing here in the wind? Be careful not to catch a cold."

He Hua held the old woman's hand and said playfully, "Mother, you forgot again, I get seasick, and I feel even more seasick in the room."

After saying that, He Hua pointed to Xu Qing and the others and said, "Mother, these are some friends I just met. They want to go to the prefectural city to do business."

Xu Qing and the other two greeted each other politely and then introduced themselves.

The old woman said with a smile, "Good, good, you are such good children. Just ask me anything."

"No one knows better than me, this old woman, what's best to do what's best in every street and alley of the prefecture."

Xu Qing had just heard He Hua say that, and now that He Hua's mother was saying the same thing, he couldn't help but become curious.

"May I ask, ma'am, is your family a gossipmonger?"

The old woman was about to answer when He Hua covered her mouth and pulled her into the cabin.

Before leaving, he mouthed to Xu Qing, "Miss Xu, I'll be right back."

Xu Qing and the other two looked at He Hua with confusion. Anyway, they had nothing to do on the boat and couldn't wander around because they had to keep an eye on the cargo.

They just waited where they were.

He Hua returned quickly, her face no longer showing the joy she had before, but instead carrying a faint sadness.

"Please excuse my mother's behavior. Ever since she accidentally fell last month, she has become somewhat forgetful and occasionally talks nonsense."

What she said was partly true and partly false, so please don't take it to heart.

However, it's true that I know the prefectural city very well, because my family sells coffins. As the saying goes, a dying man's words are often the best.

Before my mother fell ill, many employers who came to order coffins always liked to chat with her for a few minutes.

Unexpectedly, after falling ill, she kept misremembering things that happened in one family as things that happened in another, which caused a lot of misunderstandings.

We came to Dukou Town because my second aunt said there was a miracle doctor there, and I wanted to bring my mother to see him. Who knew that the miracle doctor turned out to be a shaman!

After speaking, He Hua explained her family situation in detail.

Xu Qing felt something was off. Her mother was forgetful, so how could she dare to let her go to the outhouse by herself?

After the girl escorted her mother back to her room, instead of taking care of her own mother, she had the leisure to chat with them.

Besides, the old woman looked so energetic that she didn't seem like she had been injured in a fall.

It wasn't that Xu Qing wanted to think the worst of people, but it was better to be cautious when traveling.

Xu Qing didn't respond, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit cold.

Xu Gong smelled the leaves He Hua had given him, offered a few awkward words of comfort, and didn't know what else to say.

Zhao Dazhi didn't even glance at He Hua from beginning to end, sitting obediently next to the basket.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, He Hua naturally said goodbye to Xu Qing and the other two and returned to her cabin.

As she turned around, she glanced at Xu Qing subtly.

As He Hua's figure disappeared from the deck, Xu Qing whispered to Xu Gong and Zhao Da, "Be careful of this Miss He."

Although Xu Gong and Zhao Dazhi didn't understand why, they still nodded obediently.

Anyway, you can't go wrong by listening to your sister (the boss).

As noon approached, the aroma of food wafted from the cabin.

Xu Qing took out the dry food that Wen had prepared for them, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

Xu Qing had originally planned to have lunch on the boat, but then he encountered that strange Miss He.

"Let's have something to eat first, and then we'll eat something in town after we get off the boat."

After finishing their meal, the three of them, who had been on the boat for most of the day, were a little tired. Xu Gong stood up and stretched.

Then we could vaguely see the outline of a town ahead.

"We're almost there!" Xu Gong exclaimed excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing and Zhao Da also stood up and looked ahead.

There is another dock not far away, which is larger and has more boats than the dock in Dukou Town, and looks much busier.

Soon after, the ship arrived at the dock. The crew lowered the anchor, put the planks back up, and the passengers began to disembark in an orderly manner.

Xu Qing didn't want to squeeze in with others, so he gestured to Xu Gong and Zhao Da to wait a while before leaving.

After most of the people had left, Xu Gong picked up a basket and prepared to follow Xu Qing off the boat.

"Brother Xu, please help me! My mother just fell asleep, and I can't wake her up no matter what I do!"

Hearing He Hua's panicked and helpless voice from behind, Xu Gong stopped in his tracks.

He hesitated and looked at Xu Qing, even though his younger sister had told them to be careful of Miss He.

But after all, this Miss He had helped me, and what if something really happened to that old lady?

If I just ignore it like this, wouldn't I become an ungrateful person...?

Xu Qing understood what Xu Gong meant. She thought that at least she had two strong men on her side, and she also had an electric baton for protection.

He Hua and the old woman posed no threat to them.

He nodded and said to He Hua, "Take us to see it."

He Hua thanked Xu Qing and the other two gratefully, then ran into the cabin.

Xu Qing quietly took the stun gun out of the shopping cart and held it in her hand.

Xu Gong led the way, with Zhao Da and Xu Qing following behind.

Once inside the cabin, it resembled a modern hotel, with a corridor and rows of rooms on both sides.

When He Hua reached room 109, she stopped and opened the door.

Xu Qing glanced into the room. A carved screen stood at the entrance, obscuring the view inside.

"This is the place. Thank you, Brother Xu and Sister Xu. Perhaps my mother's old injury has flared up again. Please help me carry my mother off the boat first."

After He Hua finished speaking, Xu Gong was about to go inside.

Xu Qing stopped Xu Gong and said to He Hua, "Why don't you go in?"

He Hua: "This room is very small. If too many people go in, there won't be enough room to move around. Brother Xu can just carry my mother out."

Xu Gong thought that since it was just carrying an old lady, he comforted Xu Qing and said:

"It's alright, little sister, I'll be right out. You guys wait for me outside."

Xu Qing felt that something was wrong.

After a brief standoff, He Hua urged, "Brother Xu, Sister Xu, let's get my mother out first! There are so many of you, even if I wanted to harm you, I couldn't!"

Xu Qing carefully examined He Hua and, seeing that her anxious expression seemed genuine, withdrew her arm from the doorway.

Xu Gong went into the room, but remained silent for a long time and did not come out.

Xu Qing called out into the house, "Second Brother? How is he?"

Still no one answered.

Xu Qing's expression changed, and Zhao Da stretched out his arm towards He Hua, trying to grab her.
