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

When Cui Han saw Xu Zhenzhen face to face, he almost stopped breathing.

This is Jinjin's daughter.

The tall man, his eyes red-rimmed, answered in a hoarse voice:

"My good child, you've suffered so much. Your poor mother passed away before she could even name you..."

Putting all that aside, are you going back to Xujia Village? I came back just to see Zhenzhen.

Since Zhenzhen isn't in the capital, I don't need to go back. Could I go with you to Xu Family Village? I'd like to see where Zhenzhen lives.”

Xu Qing glanced at Zhenzhen, and seeing that she didn't resist or object, Xu Qing nodded:

"We are a family from the countryside, so please forgive us if we have not been hospitable enough."

Cui Han noticed that the woman's speech was unlike that of an ordinary country woman, so he couldn't help but take another look at her.

Xu Qing was slender and dressed in coarse linen, but she was poised and graceful, with a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing that the children were dressed in soft cotton and were all chubby and fair-skinned, I felt a pang of sympathy for Madam Xu.

His adopted nephew only said in his letter that Zhenzhen was adopted by a village woman, without specifying the family's financial situation.

But how well can an ordinary village woman live?

She treats children who are not her own equally, providing them with a superior life, while she herself is so frugal.

No wonder Zhenzhen is so attached to her.

Cui Han lowered his voice and said:

“Madam Xu, there’s no need for that. I also went through a similar hardship when I was young.”

Having enough to eat is already a blessing, so why would anyone complain about a lack of hospitality?

Xu Qing was somewhat puzzled; their family's accommodations and meals weren't exactly impoverished...

However, upon reflection, considering the Cui family's extravagant lifestyle, their family was indeed struggling.

We found a restaurant in Dukou Town and had lunch there.

Since there was one more person, and he was the Minister of Justice, Xu Qing didn't want him to squeeze in with them, so he hired two carriages to go back to Xu Family Village.

There was one car for the women and one car for the men.

When leaving the city.

The one-armed beggar lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Miss Baizhi is outside."

Xu Qing and Madam Wen climbed out of the carriage. Madam Wen asked first, "Bai Zhi, what brings you to Dukou Town?"

Qian Baizhi never expected to run into Xu Qing and his group in Dukou Town.

Xu Gong has been gone for several days, and she misses him.

Before leaving, Xu Gong left her his address, telling her to visit him when she had time, and he would show her around the city.

Rural families don't have as many rules, and since they were already engaged, they wanted to go to the prefectural city to see him.

Suddenly bumping into Xu Qing and Madam Wen, Qian Baizhi became a little shy again: "I'm going to the prefectural city..."

Xu Qing understood perfectly; how could a couple deeply in love bear being apart for so long?

She brought Ye Wushuang back so that Ye Wushuang could come and take pictures, and paint a portrait of her second sister-in-law.

Since my second sister-in-law is going to the prefectural city, why not let Ye Wushuang go with her?

With someone traveling with him, Xu Qing felt at ease, and it was a good opportunity to paint their portraits together.

"Sister Baizhi, it takes most of the day to get to the prefectural city by boat, and the city is very big. It just so happens that I have invited the painter back."

"Why don't we wait another day? Your elder brother and sister-in-law should be back from visiting the graves by now. We can have them accompany you to the prefectural city tomorrow, what do you say?"

Qian Baizhi had never traveled far before, and she was actually a little apprehensive about traveling alone.

When she heard Xu Qing say that her elder brother and sister-in-law would accompany her tomorrow, she was very happy, but then she blushed with embarrassment.

"Thank you, little sister. I'm sorry you had to see this."

Ms. Wen said with a "Hey," "What's so funny? Let me tell you, back then, I was the one who pursued your uncle."

There's nothing laughable about bravely pursuing your own happiness. Bai Zhi, get in the car quickly, let's go back first.

Qian Baizhi got into the carriage and sat down. Madam Wen was still giving her instructions:

"I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you're really too bold."

A young and beautiful girl like you should ideally have someone accompany you when you go out.

People outside are complicated. Did my bastard son send you to him?

You absolutely mustn't listen to him! That brat, I'll break his legs when he gets back!

Wen knew that Qian Baizhi had become very introverted and kind-hearted because of the gossip from outsiders.

She certainly wouldn't have thought of going to the prefectural city.

Xu Baobao, always eager for a good show, chimed in, "It must have been Uncle who sent Aunt."

Qian Baizhi was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, but she was afraid that Madam Wen would misunderstand, so she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "No, Aunt Wen, I also want to go to the prefectural city for a stroll."

Wen patted Qian Baizhi's hand: "No need to cover for him. That brat is ignorant and thinks the prefectural city is a town."

Ignore him. If you want to go, just come and call your auntie anytime, and we'll go with you.

Qian Baizhi knew that Madam Wen meant well, so she nodded obediently, "Thank you, Auntie, I understand."

The group returned to the Xu family home.

Cui Han stood in front of the Xu family's three-courtyard mansion, a unique blue-brick and tile house in the entire village, apart from the village chief's house.

He silently took back what he had said earlier.

This must be a wealthy family.

He then admired Xu Qing even more.

It is rare to find someone who is wealthy yet remains humble.

Xu Qing arranged for Ye Wushuang and Cui Han to stay in the front courtyard, while Qian Baizhi was placed in the east wing where Xu Gong was staying.

After a long day of running around, Xu Qing was a little tired and just lay down on her Simmons mattress to stretch her body.

People arrived at the door.

"Excuse me, is this Madam Xu's house?"

Xu Qing got out of bed and walked to the door, where he saw a man driving a carriage parked outside.

Upon seeing Xu Qing emerge, he tumbled off the carriage.

"Madam Xu, this is the carriage you ordered from us a few days ago. I brought it to you as soon as it arrived."

Xu Qing stepped forward and stroked the horse's head, and the horse gently nuzzled her hand.

She walked around the horse again; its proportions were perfect, with long, muscular limbs.

It's a good horse.

After confirming everything, she paid the money.

The deliveryman, who had never met such a straightforward customer before, happily asked, "Madam Xu, would you like me to teach you how to drive a carriage?"

Xu Qing shook his head: "Thank you, sir, but no need."

She could drive an oxcart, so I suppose there wasn't much difference between a horse-drawn carriage and an oxcart.

Besides, the one-armed beggar knows how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, so we can just have him teach us.

Xu Qing temporarily placed the carriage in the cowshed, thinking that he could finally rest this time.

Just as she turned the corner, she saw a horse-drawn carriage heading towards her house.

She recognized it; it was the county magistrate's carriage.

They went to the prefectural city, and Zhou Chenggong returned to the yamen. Could it be that Zhou Chenggong has come again?

Xu Qing frowned. "Can't a person get a rest?!"

Did you all plan to come one after another?

The carriage soon stopped in front of Xu Qing's house, but it wasn't Zhou Chenggong who got out; it was the county magistrate's wife.

Before Xu Qing could even ask what had brought him there, the magistrate's wife had already launched into a furious tirade:

"Why didn't you hide like a coward today? You dare to come out and show your face?"

You shameless hussy, what kind of bewitching potion did you give my son?

It's one thing for him to refuse to go home on ordinary days, but now he doesn't even want to study anymore and is making a fuss about wanting to learn martial arts.

"If you can't give me a clear and straightforward explanation today, I certainly won't let you off easily, and I'll make sure you regret it!"
