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

Xu Qing finished speaking:

"Both of you brothers can do this job, but the pay isn't calculated by the day, it's based on how much clay you dig. The more you work, the more you earn. Do you still want to do it?"

Xu Qing didn't really trust the Xu brothers, but he was willing to give them a chance out of respect for the village chief.

So she assigned the task of digging clay.

If the two brothers work hard, their wages will be higher than those of the workshop workers.

If they want to play dirty tricks, so be it. They won't get paid if they don't work. Don't think that just because she gave them jobs, they can rest easy.

The village chief made the decision: "This is a good job. If you don't want to do it, then go back home. I can't be bothered with you anymore!"

Xu Tieniu and Xu Tiegou were so happy they almost jumped for joy, exclaiming repeatedly:

"We're willing! We're just too excited. We thought Qing would only give us one job, but we didn't expect her to take both of them!"

"We'll definitely do a good job, Qing-mei... no, boss, let's go now! Tell us where to dig and how to dig!"

Xu Tieniu and his companion were genuinely repentant, but the matter of the compensation caused a huge uproar in their home.

Their mother cried her heart out, but couldn't bear to say a harsh word to them. She only gave them earnest advice and tried to clean up their messes.

In stark contrast to their father, who was furious but did nothing, the two brothers seemed to have suddenly grown up at that moment.

Now that Xu Qing is willing to give them a chance, they will definitely cherish it, work hard, and not let their mother worry about them anymore.

Xu Qing led the two to the workshop and asked the workshop manager to make arrangements for them.

When the village chief returned, he absolutely refused to accept the fried chicken Xu Qing had given him. He said, feeling utterly ashamed:

"Qing, I really have no face to take your things anymore."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Dehua, you helped us when my family was down on our luck."

Besides, I didn't do anything. Their job is based on hard work; if you don't work, you don't get paid. There's no need to worry about it.

The village chief said solemnly, "I will remember your kindness, Qing girl, Uncle Dehua thanks you."

After the village chief left, Xu Qing returned to the house, where Wen was eating fried chicken with the children.

Seeing Xu Qing come in, he asked, "How did it go?"

Xu Qing explained the arrangements for the Xu Tieniu brothers to Madam Wen, who sighed:

"So what's the use of having a son? Sons only cause trouble, unlike daughters who are considerate and filial."

I really don't understand why every family takes pride in having a son, but how many people actually enjoy the benefits of having a son...?

I see so many women having sons, they're exhausted trying to find wives for their sons, yet they still have to act like it's something special.

Xu Qing was surprised that Wen had such insights, something many modern people couldn't understand.

Zhou Chenggong pouted: "Grandma Wen, are you talking about me on purpose?"

While Zhou Chenggong was speaking, Xu Baobao quietly took the chicken leg from his bowl.

Wen winked at Zhou Chenggong with a cheerful smile. Zhou Chenggong looked down, realized the chicken leg was gone, and yelled, "Xu Baobao!"

Xu Baobao quickly devoured the chicken leg in a few bites and put the chicken bones back into Zhou Chenggong's bowl.

"Here you go, Brother Zhou! You're so stingy! All the uncles gave the chicken legs to Mother. Why don't you know how to be considerate?"

Zhou Chenggong, having devoured the chicken bones clean, leaving not a single piece of meat, roared in fury:

"Look at the bones in front of you before you speak! I only ate the drumstick and neck of the whole chicken, how can you expect me to be modest! Aunt Xu, look at the baby..."

Xu Qing dared not get involved in the children's fight; it would be wrong to side with either of them. She pretended not to see anything, picked up a piece of chicken, and silently walked away.

Watching her family bickering and playing, Zhenzhen felt her confusion and anxiety dissipate, and she also understood what she should do.

She couldn't run away. She didn't know why her non-blood-related brother was looking for her, and if he had ulterior motives, she didn't want to implicate her family.

There's also her biological mother, whom she's never met, but according to her godfather's description, she's a very good person who loves her very much.

She should also find out the truth of what happened back then, and then properly offer incense to her mother to comfort her spirit in heaven.

When Zhenzhen told Xu Qing about her decision, Xu Qing simply patted her head and told her to go for it without worry, assuring her that they would always be her family.

……

The provincial capital.

Cui family.

Cui Yi reported the latest information he had found in his investigation in the study.

"Madam Xu's adopted daughter used to be a beggar, and she had a father with a missing arm. Now they live together in the Xu family. However..."

"But what?"

Cui Yifeng glanced up at Cui Yi: "Speak your mind, or shut up."

Cui Yi felt that this world was too magical. After hesitating for a moment, he still told the truth: "The girl's father looks somewhat like the young lady's wet nurse."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yifeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. His intuition told him that this person must be related to the wet nurse.

No wonder we couldn't find him; he was disguised as a man!

Unable to contain his excitement, he issued another order: "Go and find out if the girl's father is a woman. If he is, arrest him immediately."

"Yes."

Cui Yi accepted the order and withdrew.

He felt that the young master was a bit obsessed, probably because he had been disappointed too many times and needed to give himself some hope.

How could that kind of burly man picking his toes be a woman...?

Besides, how exactly does he want to confirm it?

But he didn't dare to say it.

If the young master tells him to do it, then do it.

After all, the young master gives a generous monthly allowance, so thinking about it that way, it's not so unacceptable...

Then, the one-armed beggar realized that something was very wrong with this day.

Recently, the sweet potato vines have grown long enough to be planted, and he always feels like someone is watching him when he is engrossed in his work.

Whenever he subconsciously turned his head to look, there was nothing unusual in his field of vision.

This feeling of unease persisted until he went to the outhouse.

Xu Qingxin "invented" a squat toilet specifically for men, which is wall-mounted so that they can stand up to use the toilet.

What horrified him was that no matter which location he chose...

A seemingly ordinary, unremarkable man, whose appearance you could easily forget, would always appear silently beside him.

The person's gaze seemed casual as they swept across the area, but it was clear that their eyes were fixed on him, on that same spot...

What's worse, if he changes his position, the other person will move his feet closely and follow him step by step.

Finally, unable to bear the eerie atmosphere any longer, he simply fled in panic...

WTF?

Did the employer reveal his secret of having worked as a wet nurse?

The way these people looked at him was terrifying...

On the other side, Cui Yi, who was secretly monitoring the one-armed beggar, was also feeling very frustrated.

Why is a grown man so hesitant and timid, even when going to the toilet he's so cautious and guarded?

At this rate, when will he ever be able to complete the task assigned by the young master?

Cui Yi was exhausted after spending the entire day following the one-armed beggar.

He swore this was the most exhausting task he had ever done, bar none.

He planned to go directly to the one-armed beggar's house after he fell asleep, so he hid in the Xu family's woodshed and waited quietly for the right opportunity.

Xu Zhenzhen, Xu Baobao, and Zhou Chenggong were playing hide-and-seek in the yard, and it was Zhou Chenggong's turn to be "it".

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Baby and Zhenzhen quickly separated and hid. Baby hid under the bed in the room.

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen..."

The counting sound grew closer and closer, and Zhenzhen, in a panic, also hid in the woodshed.
