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

The magistrate's wife, in order to complain to her husband, did not use ice to reduce the swelling immediately, and now half of her face is so swollen that she is unrecognizable.

Looking at the magistrate's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, she asked in a daze, "Husband, what... what happened to you?"

The county magistrate, utterly defeated, exclaimed, "It's all over, completely over."

Seeing her husband like this, the magistrate's wife became anxious and kept pushing the magistrate's arm:

"What happened? Didn't you teach that bitch a lesson? How did you end up like this?"

"She wouldn't even dare hit you! What are those bailiffs in the yamen doing? Just letting her beat you like this?!"

The magistrate's wife became more and more agitated as she spoke.

The magistrate remained unmoved, sitting blankly in his chair with lifeless eyes.

He thought that once he slapped himself, the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, Lord Cui still said he would tell Lord Zhao the truth about what happened today!

He has been in Datong Town for 5 years, and during those 5 years he has worked diligently and done a lot of practical things for the people.

Just because of this one mistake, all our previous efforts will be in vain!

The clerk carefully recounted what had happened in the courtroom.

The magistrate's wife turned ashen-faced upon hearing this.

That vile woman actually managed to get the protection of the Minister of Justice...

The county magistrate's family was shrouded in gloom and despair.

Meanwhile, in the Cui family dungeon, Cui Yifeng was in high spirits.

Cui Er came to report that He Hua had completely given up her addiction to the drug powder.

Upon hearing this good news, Cui Yifeng immediately came to check on the results.

He personally picked up the medicine and placed it inside the cell door, but He Hua remained unmoved and even spat at him fiercely.

"Alright, alright, Cui Er, bring me your notebook so I can take a look."

"Yes."

Cui Er presented it with both hands.

Cui Yifeng flipped through the pages one by one, and found that Cui Er's notes were very detailed.

On the sixth day after not taking the medicine powder, He Hua scratched her nails raw when she smelled it, but still stubbornly refused to touch it.

On the 8th day after not taking the medicine powder, He Hua was still attracted to the smell of the medicine powder, but her expression was much calmer.

Not taken...

The last page is today, the 15th day.

He Hua was completely unaffected by the medicine powder.

Cui Yifeng closed the notebook and walked out; he needed to hurry and bring this to his uncle.

Once I've finished my task, I can go find my little sister.

"Wait, can you let us go now?" He Hua's hoarse voice came from behind.

Cui Yifeng paused, then said without turning his head, "Just wait."

Then they continued walking outside.

He Hua shouted, "At least let my master out! Her body won't be able to take it if she stays here any longer! You can lock me in the dungeon; she won't escape!"

The dungeon was dark and damp, and the old lady's health had deteriorated due to years of researching and making poisons.

Whenever it's cloudy or rainy, my whole body feels like ants are crawling on it, and even my bones feel uncomfortable.

He's been locked up in this dungeon for almost half a month because of her, and he's been holding on.

Cui Yifeng turned around, looked at the old lady lying on the straw pile, her breathing somewhat weak, and nodded in agreement.

"Cui Er, you can make the arrangements."

Before my uncle replied to the message, this person was still useful.

After Cui Yifeng finished writing the letter, he stuffed the letter into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and tied the notebook for recording data to the pigeon's other leg.

Then he patted the carrier pigeon on the back: "Go, take these to your uncle, and you'll get a good treat when you come back."

The pigeon's beady eyes revealed a deep disbelief. It looked down at the notebook on its feet, which was bigger than itself, and then at Cui Yifeng.

"Cuckoo?"

Do you think I can fly?

Cui Yifeng looked up in confusion: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The homing pigeon flapped its wings and kept thrashing about in place.

"Cuckoo."

I want to leave, but I can't!

Cui Yifeng slapped his forehead and took the notebook off the carrier pigeon's leg: "I was in a hurry to find my little sister, sorry, go now."

The homing pigeon then flew out the window, leaving a pile of bird droppings on the table as a form of protest before it left.

After settling things at home, Cui Yifeng headed towards Xujia Village.

After he left home, Xiangxiu went to Madam Cui's courtyard.

"Madam, the young master has gone out. These next few days are the perfect time to make a move."

Madam Cui was pruning bonsai by the window when she heard this, and she put down her scissors.

The maidservant behind her immediately brought hot water and placed it in front of the old lady.

After washing her hands, Madam Cui sat in her armchair and said, "Go. Once it's done, send the person far away immediately."

"Yes."

Xiangxiu bowed her head and respectfully withdrew from the inner room.

Upon reaching the outer courtyard, the respectful expression vanished, leaving only a coldness on his face.

……

Cui Yifeng brought Zhenzhen many gifts, filling an entire carriage.

This was the result after Cui Yi had tried to dissuade him.

The two headed straight for the Xu family's house. The villagers were no longer bothered by the horse-drawn carriages that had been frequently coming and going in the village these past few days.

Even when people from other villages come to visit relatives and are shocked to see a horse-drawn carriage, they can still put on a show of being cool.

“What’s so strange about that? We see horse-drawn carriages coming and going in our village every day.”

"You wouldn't know this, would you? Our village's Mrs. Xu has one."

"Yes, the squat toilet you use was made by Mrs. Xu in our village."

In the past, Xujia Village was the poorest of the dozen or so villages under the jurisdiction of Datong Town, but now Xu Qing has emerged from their village.

When everyone discussed it, they all seemed proud of it.

Upon arriving at the Xu family's house, Cui stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Xu Jian returned with Hui Niang. Apart from Xu Gong, who was still in the prefectural city, the whole family was having a meeting.

The meeting discussed Xu Qing's plan to buy more land to plant rubber trees.

Cui Han's eyes flickered.

This Mrs. Xu actually knows about rubber trees?

He was serving in the capital. A few years ago, when Great Britain came to pay tribute, they presented him with a rubber ball and rubber-soled shoes.

Those rubber bouncy balls are extremely elastic and very fun.

Rubber-soled shoes are even more amazing; they can step directly onto the sharpest blade without being cut, only getting a minor scratch.

The emperor was very curious at the time, and upon inquiring, he learned that these things were made of rubber produced by rubber trees.

The emperor traded ten jars of luminous pearls for 40 rubber tree saplings.

Despite meticulous care, with dedicated palace servants responsible for watering, fertilizing, and weeding each tree, not a single one survived.

And this Mrs. Xu actually wanted to plant 20 acres of rubber trees?

Putting aside whether she can even grow them, where is she going to find rubber trees?

Xu Qing had no idea how much turmoil her words had stirred in Cui Han's heart.

She continued, "If you have no objections, I will go to the village chief to buy the land later."

The squat toilets have been almost completely sold out in the surrounding towns and villages, so business may gradually slow down in the future.

The workers who have some free time can then come and plant trees.

Madam Wen held Xu Beibei in her arms and said, "I don't understand any of what you're saying, but I'll listen to you. I'll just take good care of your child."

Xu Jian: "I don't understand either. Little sister, you decide. We'll just do as you say."

Hui Niang, needless to say, listened to Xu Qing's words as if they were imperial edicts, and had no objections whatsoever.

Xu Qing acted like the head of the household, and her family listened to her every word, which made Ye Wushuang's eyes light up.

"Auntie, you're amazing!"
