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

Upon hearing Cui Yifeng's words, Xu Qing's heart pounded wildly.

She overheard the one-armed beggar talking about Zhenzhen's father, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would commit suicide for love. So why did he say he went to join his mother...?

Rather, she always had the misconception that Cui Yifeng was being too accommodating to her.

However, it was good to know about the Cui family's situation. She offered a few words of comfort and then suggested that she go to the workshop to take a look.

Cui Yifeng was happy to spend more time with Xu Qing, and along the way he talked a lot about missing his mother and hoping to find his little sister and reunite with her.

"My mother and younger sister's room has always been kept in the house, and nothing in it has been touched. I send someone to clean it every day."

“When my mother was pregnant with my little sister, she made a lot of little clothes. At that time, we didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl, so I asked my mother to make the ones for a girl and I to make the ones for a boy. Those little clothes are still neatly folded in the closet.”

"Does Madam Xu not believe I can sew? I learned from my mother, and we secretly sewed together in the room."

Xu Qing listened attentively.

Although she didn't know why Cui Yifeng seemed to be deliberately telling her, every time he mentioned "mother and little sister".

The tenderness and affection are palpable between the lines.

Xu Qing thought to herself, maybe he really is a good older brother.

However, she didn't show it on her face; a faint smile played on her lips as she listened quietly without offering any opinion.

Upon arriving at the workshop, Xu Qing took a walk around and asked the workers if there was anything they were not used to.

Everyone was very happy to see Xu Qing, especially Aunt Zhao and Old Shi.

"Master, the city is nice, but things are so expensive."

Young Master Cui told us to rest for the day and start working again tomorrow.

We went out for a stroll. My goodness, a plain steamed bun cost 5 coins! In our town of Datong, a meat bun is only 3 coins.

“We earn a lot too. Besides, we have room and board included, so why would you need to buy steamed buns?”

Master, let me tell you, this young master Cui is quite nice. He's worried that we won't be used to the food prepared by his chef.

They specially sent us ingredients so we could cook whatever we wanted to eat; it was all rice, wheat flour, and the best fatty pork.

We're all roughnecks; we're lucky to have anything to eat. How could we possibly be picky about food?

He sent someone to deliver the things and left, so we couldn't say anything. You can tell Young Master Cui that anything will do, we're not picky.

Old Shi was afraid that this young master Cui would leave a bad impression on them, which would indirectly affect Xu Qing.

They recounted everything that happened to Xu Qing after they arrived at the workshop, down to the smallest detail.

After chatting for a while, Xu Qing felt much more at ease seeing that everyone had adapted well to life in the prefectural city, and then prepared to go home.

Cui Yifeng escorted Xu Qing all the way to the dock in Ji'an Town, and even planned to personally see her onto the ship.

Xu Qing said, somewhat speechless, "Young Master Cui, is your house that big? Don't you have anything to do? Are you that free?"

Cui Yifeng spread his hands innocently: "Just leave it to the servants. What do I need to do personally? Madam Xu is my honored guest, so of course I have to entertain you first."

He's actually very busy!

A huge pile of ledgers awaited his inspection, and the prescription for the medicinal powder that his uncle had entrusted him to complete was still unfinished!

If it weren't for wanting to find out some information about the girls from you, I wouldn't have been talking to you and wandering around with you like this!

However, he would definitely not say these words aloud.

Xu Qing deeply appreciated the joy of being a boss, and she decided to go back and properly mentor her older brothers, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law.

Let them do the work.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'm getting on the ship, you can go back too."

Cui Yifeng waved goodbye to Xu Qing with reluctance, returned to the Cui family dungeon, and began to get busy again.

……

Upon returning to the Xu family home, Xu Qing immediately summoned the one-armed beggar and Zhenzhen to the study.

Zhenzhen looked at her mother, who had a solemn expression, and felt a little uneasy.

Did my mother find out about my fight with Gou Dan from the village?

She didn't do it on purpose. It's his fault for calling her a bastard, a child no one wanted, yet she dared to stay in the Xu family...

In particular, for some reason, her godfather suddenly made her wear an ugly mask in public and only allowed her to take it off when she slept.

Upon seeing this, the group mocked her even more fiercely...

But if her mother were to punish her, she would obediently admit her mistake, because she didn't want her mother to be sad.

However, she didn't admit she was wrong. If Gou Dan dared to curse her again, she would beat him up!

Xu Qing thought for a moment and asked Zhenzhen to wait for her in the outer room while she spoke a few words with the one-armed beggar.

Oh no, oh no, her godfather will definitely betray her...

Zhenzhen resignedly hung her head and went to the outer room.

Xu Qing was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice Zhenzhen's unusual behavior.

After Zhenzhen left, she quietly told the one-armed beggar the news she had heard from Cui Yifeng.

Finally, she added:

“I think Zhenzhen has the right to know about this. Besides, she can’t hide forever.”

Do you want Zhenzhen to wear that ugly mask for the rest of her life? That's why I want to tell her the truth. What do you think?

The one-armed beggar was momentarily stunned when he heard that Zhenzhen's father and the women in the backyard had either died or left.

He stammered, "What about the old lady?"

Xu Qing paused, realizing that Cui Yifeng hadn't mentioned this...

She thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Cui said that he is now the only one left in the entire Cui family, and the old lady should be gone too..."

The one-armed beggar remained silent for a long time before saying:

"Since the people from back then are all gone, let's tell Zhenzhen and let her choose for herself."

Ultimately, we are her strong support. If that ungrateful wretch has any ill intentions, I will fight to the death to make him pay the price!

Xu Qing comforted her, "Don't worry, I will protect Zhenzhen. Now that I'm working with him and we have the county magistrate's connection, nothing will go wrong."

But today he said the wet nurse colluded with someone to kidnap Zhenzhen, what happened?

The one-armed beggar froze for a moment, then said with shame, "The wet nurse was just an imposter..."

After Miss gave birth to Zhenzhen, the situation in the mansion was already very tense.

First, someone poisoned the young lady, and then someone else tried to poison Zhenzhen.

I didn't trust strangers, so I pretended to be a wet nurse... so I could take care of Zhenzhen.

Xu Qing looked at the burly, one-armed beggar and said with a complicated expression:

"You think you can pretend to be a wet nurse like this? Are you kidding me?! How are you going to breastfeed Zhenzhen?!"

The one-armed beggar, suppressing his shame, defended himself:

“I didn’t always look like this. I used to dress up as a woman, and even the master couldn’t tell the difference.”

It's because he spent too many days on the run and begging that he became so big and burly!

Although I don't have milk, I have milk goats. I secretly feed Zhenzhen goat milk every day.

Xu Qing couldn't help but scrutinize the one-armed beggar from head to toe again.

She simply couldn't imagine that scene.

"Let's not discuss this anymore, let's call Zhenzhen in."

The one-armed beggar nodded; he didn't want to tell Xu Qing about his dark past anymore.

Zhenzhen still looked dejected, and her steps were particularly slow.

Xu Qing then noticed that something was wrong with Zhenzhen. Worried, he stepped forward, took Zhenzhen's hand, touched her forehead, and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Tell your mother, Zhenzhen."

The one-armed beggar looked at Xu Zhenzhen with a puzzled expression and said, "She was fine just now, what happened? Did she catch a cold?"

I told you to wear more clothes and not to get cold, but you didn't listen. It's not like summer now.

It's getting colder tonight! Why won't you listen to me, you silly girl!

"Waaaaah..."

Hearing her family's caring words, Xu Zhenzhen could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
