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

Four horse-drawn carriages arrived in the village in one day, and the villagers had already started gossiping about it.

The magistrate's wife was yelling loudly, and the villagers, who had eaten and drunk their fill, immediately came to watch.

The most talked-about topic this year is the gossip about Xu Qing's family.

Not long ago, someone brought a lot of good stuff to Xu Qing's house. Just when everyone thought Xu Qing had hooked up with some rich guy, the person took the stuff away again.

The villagers were still talking about it with great enthusiasm even after many days, especially those who had witnessed it firsthand. They spoke of it with pride, as if it had been a gift to them.

Today, the county magistrate's wife came to our door again, yelling and cursing.

It has to be said that Xu Qing's family really provided them with a lot of material for their casual conversation.

The magistrate's wife was furious. She was thinking about her son, who, although a little mischievous, was generally obedient.

Ever since he met this divorced woman, he has become increasingly rebellious.

A few days ago, after returning home, before she could even finish celebrating, her son dropped a bombshell that almost made her faint.

He doesn't want to study anymore; he wants to learn martial arts and become the top martial arts scholar in the future.

She only has this one precious son, whom she cherishes dearly since he was little.

Learning martial arts is so hard. If she were to get hurt, it would be more painful than death for her. How could she bear to do that?

It must be that shameless slut who bewitched her precious son.

The magistrate's wife locked Zhou Chenggong in the house, telling him she would only release him after he had thought things through.

Then she started causing trouble for Xu Qing. She hadn't been home for the past two days, but now she finally caught her.

When someone insulted her directly, calling her a "bitch" repeatedly, Xu Qing's face instantly turned cold.

"If you are a competent mother, how could your child not listen to you? You should think about your own problems first when something happens."

Do you usually care about your child? Do you often have heart-to-heart talks with them? Do you know what your child really wants?

"How dare you, you shameless shrew! Who gave you the audacity to speak to the magistrate's wife like that!" Qiuqiu shouted.

Xu Qing sneered and typed to Qiu Qiu:

"You're used to being a servant. When your master scolds you, you can still smile and say that your master is right to scold you. I'm not a servant, and I can't stand this kind of rudeness."

So what if she's the magistrate's wife? Does that mean she can just show up at someone else's door and cause a scene?

"A county magistrate's wife? Anyone who didn't know better would think she's some village shrew."

A collective gasp filled the air around them.

"That Qing girl is too outspoken! That's the county magistrate's wife!"

"So what if she's the magistrate's wife? If you ask me, Xu Qing isn't wrong. Does being the magistrate's wife give her the right to bully others?"

"When their own son gets into trouble, they actually come to cause trouble for the Xu family. That's really something."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or we'll be in big trouble. We can't afford to mess with these big shots."

"Ah!" the magistrate's wife roared in fury, "You shameless woman, you dare to spout such nonsense instead of showing remorse! Guards, beat her!"

As soon as the magistrate's wife finished speaking, several strong guards carrying sticks emerged from behind the carriage and surrounded Xu Qing.

"You're so good at talking, aren't you? Keep going! Today I'll see whether the guards' sticks are harder or your bones are harder."

"Give him a good beating. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

The magistrate's wife sat on the stool that Qiuqiu had taken down from the carriage and gave the guards a fierce order.

Xu Qing was not afraid at all. So what if he called for reinforcements? Anyone could do that.

The workers in her squat toilet workshop were all strong men.

Those who work year-round and do physical labor are far more capable than these showy guards.

Xu Qing tugged on a thick red rope at the entrance, and the bells in the workshop immediately started ringing incessantly.

She sneered, "You resort to violence when you can't win an argument? You're really something. Does the magistrate know that you're so domineering and oppressive to the people?"

The magistrate's wife extended her index finger, stained with bright red nail polish, and fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist:

"Now you're scared? What a spineless coward. Weren't you so tough just now? Enough with the nonsense. You think stalling for time will work? Nobody can save you. Get back to work."

"Let's see who dares to mess with our boss!"

Zhao Da led the workers from the squat toilet workshop out from behind Xu Qing.

Some were holding wooden sticks, some were holding machetes, and some were even holding hoes and sickles.

The kiln was firing inside the workshop, and the men still had beads of sweat on their bodies. They all looked taller and stronger than the guards brought by the county magistrate's wife.

The workers, in large numbers, surrounded the magistrate's wife and her carriage, their eyes fixed on her.

The magistrate's wife's face suddenly turned ugly, and she pointed at Xu Qing, saying, "What do you mean?"

Xu Qing clapped his hands and said with amusement, "What? They've come to our door and we're not allowed to fight back? Why aren't you hitting me anymore?"

She pointed to her head and said arrogantly, "Come on, if you've got the guts, hit me here. If I don't, you're a coward."

The guards brought by the magistrate's wife shrank back upon seeing the group of fierce-looking men, and ran to her side, saying:

"Madam, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. We didn't bring enough people with us today."

"Tomorrow, have the master fabricate some crime for that shrew, throw her in jail, and torture her however he wants. Let's see how arrogant she still is then."

The magistrate's wife trembled with anger, then her eyes darted around.

If she were to slink away like this, and word got out, where would she, the wife of a magistrate, put her face?

She stood up and walked towards Xu Qing.

She was the wife of a county magistrate, and she didn't believe these peasants would dare to lay a hand on her.

Sure enough, when faced with the fierce-looking guards, the county magistrate's wife hesitated and dared not stop them as they approached.

Only Zhao Dazhi stood firmly in front of Xu Qing, without moving an inch.

The magistrate's wife scoffed, "What, are you going to stop me?"

Xu Qing gestured for Zhao Da to step aside.

Zhao Da shook his head at her anxiously: "You go in and close the door quickly. I, I'll stop her."

Xu Qing appreciated Zhao Dazhi's good intentions, but he couldn't stop the magistrate's wife.

Besides, if this unreasonable magistrate's wife were to falsely accuse Zhao Da of taking advantage of her, that would be the end of it.

Even if you're right, you can't explain it clearly.

"It's alright, you just stand over there and keep an eye on the guards for me."

Although Zhao Dazhi was unwilling, he listened to Xu Qing and stepped aside, but did not go far.

His eyes remained fixed on the magistrate's wife.

If this woman dares to bully the master, even if she is the county magistrate's wife, she will be crippled!

The magistrate's wife sneered, "Calling you a slut is really an understatement, a woman who has been divorced."

Instead of staying at home and keeping to herself, she goes out and shows her face in public, and she even keeps a bunch of men at home.

On the surface, he's your worker, but secretly he's probably your lover. Especially the one next to you.

"I didn't realize Xu Qing was so adept at this."

The villagers were indignant when they saw the county magistrate's wife walk up to Xu Qing and hurl those nasty words at him.

There are also men from other families in the village working in Xu Qing's workshop.

Xu Qing paid high wages and provided good food, which made life much better for the family.

"How could the magistrate's wife frame someone like that? Doesn't she know how important a woman's reputation is!"

“I would love for my man to be noticed by Xu Qing. She is so rich. If she takes a liking to my man, she will definitely pay him more and our lives will be better.”

"You wish! With your man like that, besides being strong, he's so ugly, how could Qingya possibly be interested in him?"
