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

“She is my nominal grandmother, and now that my uncle is at home, I really don’t know what to do with her.”

How about this, I'll immediately send a message to my uncle to come back, and he won't tolerate that old hag causing trouble like this.

"You'll believe me once you see us deal with that old woman with your own eyes. And then you absolutely mustn't tell your little sister, okay?"

Xu Qing softened her expression; she said this to gauge Cui Yifeng's attitude.

If he was doing this to protect the old lady of the Cui family, she would have immediately made Zhenzhen sever ties with him.

Although Zhenzhen never intended to go back to the Cui family.

Now, when I hear him calling her "old woman" and "dead old woman" repeatedly, there's no hint of him protecting her.

Xu Qing felt somewhat relieved.

"Okay, then go now."

Cui Yifeng immediately stood up and ran outside without the slightest hesitation.

Meanwhile, Xu Gong and Qian Baizhi were leisurely strolling through the streets.

Now that Xu Gong had some money, he took Qian Baizhi to Mingyue Pavilion, the best jewelry shop in the prefectural city.

"Bai Zhi, the jewelry I had before was made with money given to me by my younger sister. Now that I'm earning my own money, I want to give you the best I can afford!"

Qian Baizhi looked at the luxuriously decorated Mingyue Pavilion, where all the ladies and young women coming and going were dressed in elegant attire.

Looking down at her own simple outfit, she felt a pang of inferiority.

"No need, Brother Xu, this is fine as it is. Let's save the money. There will be many more places where we need money in the future."

Qian Baizhi thought that there would be many places to spend money after having children, but they hadn't even gotten married yet.

I was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Xu Gong looked at the shy and bashful Qian Baizhi, his heart burning. He held Qian Baizhi's soft, boneless hand in his.

"I will work hard to earn money, so don't worry. Dr. Qian will pamper you, and I will treat you even better."

Besides, Bai Zhi is so beautiful, she deserves better jewelry and clothes.

We'll choose jewelry first, and then get a new outfit made.

Otherwise, if you come all the way to the prefectural city and come back without buying anything, what will Doctor Qian think of me?

Qian Baizhi was happy that Xu Gong valued her, and her face became even more shy.

She wore a white dress, with a simple silver hairpin in her hair, and her face was as white as snow with a faint pink tinge.

Her lips were slightly upturned, her eyelids were lowered, and her eyes were full of happiness.

Not only was Xu Gong staring wide-eyed, but the portly Cai Yuanwai, who came out of Mingyue Pavilion, was also drooling and staring at Qian Baizhi in a daze.

"Beautiful lady, are you here to buy jewelry? Mingyue Pavilion just received a batch of the most fashionable hairpins from the capital. Shall I take you to take a look?"

Master Cai wasn't oblivious to the fact that Qian Baizhi and Xu Gong were lovers.

However, Xu Gong was in a hurry to see Qian Baizhi, so he was still wearing the old clothes he wore when he worked in the workshop.

Therefore, Master Cai did not take Xu Gong seriously at all. How could such a poor boy possibly compete with him?

Even the most fiery girl will obediently follow him if she receives real money as a reward.

Even if all else fails, he has other methods; there's no woman he can't get once he sets his sights on her.

Otherwise, where did his 20 concubines in the backyard come from?

Cai Yuanwai's voice was so explicit and blunt that Qian Baizhi turned pale with fright and hid behind Xu Gong.

When Master Cai saw this, he couldn't stand it even more, as this was his favorite thing.

Watching the shy little white flower bloom in his hand, just thinking about it made him so excited he was panting.

Although there were many women in the backyard, they became as wanton as the girls in the brothel after only a couple of times.

This also made him lose interest, so he kept bringing women into his backyard.

Xu Gong noticed Cai Yuanwai's undisguised gaze, staring directly at Qian Baizhi.

He suppressed his anger and protected Qian Baizhi, saying coldly, "This has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."

Master Cai took out a wad of silver from his pocket and walked up to Xu Gong: "Take this silver and get out. I don't want to say it a second time."

The servants behind Master Cai also formed a fan shape, surrounding Xu Gong in the middle.

Someone on the street who knew Master Cai kindly advised him:

"Young man, judging from your appearance, your family isn't very capable. You'd better not go against Master Cai."

"Yes, hurry up and take the money and leave, otherwise you won't be able to leave later."

"You can remarry if you lose your wife, but if you lose your life, you lose everything."

"And this girl, although Master Cai has many women in his backyard, he has always been generous to women. Why should she follow a poor boy?"

Master Cai raised his hand triumphantly, and a servant immediately handed him a money bag. He grabbed handfuls of copper coins from it and threw them out.

"Well said, reward me."

The crowd immediately began squatting on the ground and scrambling to grab the loot.

Xu Gong remained silent. He glanced at the group of people surrounding him, then turned and whispered to Qian Baizhi:

"I'll hold them off for a bit. You run ahead and go back to the inn so Ye Wushuang can go find Xiaomei."

Qian Baizhi nodded with tears in her eyes. She knew that staying would not help Xu Gong, but would only become a burden to him.

Growing impatient, Master Cai pulled out another stack of silver coins from his pocket, combined with two stacks of silver notes, and waved them in front of Xu Gong:

"Is that enough? I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you know what's good for you, take the money and leave."

Xu Gong smiled and said, "Have your men move aside first. What if I move aside and you change your mind?"

Master Cai scoffed, "I don't care about this little bit of silver. Only a poor wretch like you would be so cautious."

He waved his hand, and the servants surrounding Xu Gong returned to their positions behind him.

Master Cai knew that Xu Gong wouldn't dare cause trouble, after all, who would turn down money, especially a poor guy like him?

They must be secretly overjoyed.

Xu Gong took the silver note and tossed it into the air. He then turned and grabbed Qian Baizhi, and they ran away.

The silver notes scattered and fell, causing an even greater uproar among the crowd.

"Silver notes, they're actually silver notes!"

"A silver note worth one hundred taels! Grab it while you can!"

"It's mine, it's mine, you fucking get out of my way!"

"Ouch! My hand, someone stepped on my hand!"

The scene was chaotic, catching Master Cai completely off guard, and his servants behind him were even more caught off guard.

He was so angry that his whole body was trembling with fat: "Go after him! This is the first time I've ever met someone who doesn't give me any face."

Whoever catches that brat, I, the wealthy man, will reward him with 100 taels of silver!

Master Cai's servants had done this kind of thing many times before; they chased after things very quickly for the reward money.

Qian Baizhi was no match for the men in terms of physical strength. Xu Gong, seeing the pursuers closing in behind him, quickly said, "You run first, I'll hold them off."

Qian Baizhi didn't dare to hesitate and nodded frantically.

She ran to find reinforcements first, which gave her a chance to save Brother Xu.

Xu Gong stopped, picked up a long bamboo pole from the roadside, and charged toward the pursuers.

When Cai Yuanwai's lackeys saw that Xu Gong still dared to turn around, they all grinned excitedly.

"Brothers, we've got the silver. There are 20 of us, so 100 taels is enough to split. No fighting, let's work together to catch him first."

"The boss is right! We can eat well again this month, hehehehe..."

"This kid's got some nerve. It's only satisfying to beat someone like him. Just thinking about him kneeling and begging for mercy is more intoxicating than the women at the brothel."

The lackeys pulled out their specially made wooden sticks from their waists and swarmed towards Xu Gong.
