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

After taking the medicine, Cui Han slept soundly and even had a dream in which he returned to the year he went to the capital to take the imperial examination.

He defied his mother's wishes and didn't take the exam. Instead, he went to Jinjin's hometown to propose marriage, and finally won the heart of his beloved.

When I woke up, it was already pitch black outside the window, but a candle was lit in the room, casting a warm yellow light.

He didn't have that headache or emptiness when he woke up for the first time.

The guard on duty had been replaced. Seeing that Cui Han had opened his eyes, he first handed him the warm medicine.

"My lord, you're finally awake. Please finish your drink first, and I'll go inform Madam Xu."

Cui Han subconsciously took the medicine bowl, and only then did he vaguely recall what had happened before he fell asleep.

He looked at the dark, bitter medicine in the bowl that emitted a foul smell, and touched his cheek with his other hand.

That Mrs. Xu was too ruthless; it still hurts...

Cui Han drank the medicine in one gulp and placed the medicine bowl on the small table beside the bed.

He was incredibly surprised to feel the warm sensation within his body.

This medicine really works!

After Xu Qing arrived, seeing that Cui Han was recovering well, she carefully took out the receipt for the medicine she had bought from her purse and handed it to Cui Han:

"This is the money for the medicine. I didn't ask for more. It's written clearly in black and white."

If you still don't believe me, that medicine merchant is on the ship too; just go and ask him.

As for the consultation fee, there's no need for that. Consider it a thank you gift for accompanying me to Haiqu. That way, neither of us owes the other anything.

Cui Han glanced at the number on the receipt, took out a silver note, and handed it over:

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Madam Xu. I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help again, please don't hesitate to ask."

Xu Qing took it and saw that it was a silver note with a face value of 1000 taels. He was overjoyed.

It seems Cui Han has a conscience; he didn't save him in vain.

She waved her hand generously: "No need to be polite. Since you're alright, I won't bother you any longer. You should rest well. I'll have the kitchen prepare your medicine and send it over on time."

Cui Han nodded gratefully to Xu Qing.

The five days on the ship passed in a flash. Cui Han took the herbal medicine prescribed by Xu Qingkai on time every day, and the situation on the first day did not recur.

He didn't even need to use the pills that Cui Yifeng had prepared for him.

This made Cui Han admire Xu Qing even more; indeed, there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding.

He had consulted so many famous doctors without success, but Xu Qing cured him with an ancient book he had obtained from an unknown source.

Cui Han silently apologized in his heart for his previous disrespect towards Xu Qing, and at the same time, he was glad that he hadn't said no to her back then.

"Dong dong dong."

Xu Qing knocked on the door to signal.

"Please come in."

With Cui Han's permission, Xu Qing pushed open the door and went inside.

In fact, Cui Han's door was not closed. These past few days, it was for Xu Qing to observe his condition and for the guards to look after him.

The door was always ajar.

One day, Xu Qing was carrying a bowl of medicine and, without having a free hand, went straight in.

To everyone's surprise, Cui Han was changing clothes, and he had taken off all his clothes except for his underwear.

He only managed to pull himself up after hearing someone come in; otherwise, he would have been completely naked.

Although Xu Qing, a modern woman of the 21st century, said that seeing a man's naked body was nothing to her.

Moreover, seeing the naked body of an old man like Cui Han made her feel like she was the one who was at a disadvantage.

However, it terrified Cui Han, who didn't dare to look Xu Qing in the eye for two days.

From then on, Cui Han made it a rule that anyone entering must knock before entering.

"The crew just informed us that we will be arriving at the dock soon."

But there are many people unloading cargo on the ship. Let's leave a little later, and wait until most people have left before getting off, so we don't have to squeeze in with them.

Xu Qing's voice rang out.

"Alright, it's up to you."

Cui Han had no objections.

After giving the notification, Xu Qing turned and left.

She looked out the window at the bustling dock.

As soon as the ship docked, all the dockworkers swarmed over, constantly asking if they needed any help.

"Sir, do you need help moving things? It will only cost 20 coins to move them to your residence."

"Sir, I'll take it, I only need 15 coins."

There were many porters, but not enough cargo to be moved on the ship.

To get work, the movers all went to great lengths to promote themselves, even lowering their prices.

At this moment, Xu Qing was drawn to a particularly tall but somewhat lame figure at the very back of the group of porters.

Unlike the other porters, the man didn't solicit business; he stood silently at the back.

He waited until the people in front of him had left before he stepped forward.

Perhaps seeing his strong physique, the gentlemen and ladies who needed his goods moved asked him about the price.

The man hesitated before saying, "20 coins."

Given the same price, merchants prefer strong men. After all, strong men are stronger and can carry goods more steadily.

The deal was completed smoothly. After the man asked for the address, he picked up the goods and walked forward. Only then did the merchant realize that the man had a limp.

Enraged, he ordered his men to seize the goods from the man and shoved him.

"What are you doing here, you cripple? If you drop and break my goods, can you afford to pay for them? What bad luck!"

His colleagues, who had initially been watching him with some envy, now mocked him with schadenfreude upon seeing this situation.

"What's the use of being physically strong if you can't walk properly if you have a limp? The most important thing in our line of work is to walk steadily."

"Master, master, I'll do it. I only need 15 coins. Don't look down on me because I'm not as strong as him, but I have good legs and I can walk steadily."

Faced with the ridicule and sarcasm around him, Wu Yu remained silent and showed no extra expression. He simply retreated to the back in silence, hoping that someone else would hire him.

My brother's illness can't be delayed. We only have one day's worth of medicine left at home, so I have to earn money for it today.

The number of people on the ship dwindled, and a new Fujian-style ship docked not far away. The remaining dockworkers scattered to the side with a whoosh.

Despite his leg injury, Wu Yu continued to walk slowly behind.

"Wait, are you a local?"

A female voice came from behind him. Wu Yu didn't stop; it definitely wasn't calling him.

"Hey you, you lame guy up ahead, he's calling you."

Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed when she called him "the cripple," because she really didn't know how to address him.

She was still on the boat, and it was too late for her to catch up with him.

Wu Yu looked back and saw an extremely ugly woman standing on the nearly deserted Fujian boat.

He had never seen such a square face before, it was like a perfect square.

"I'm asking you a question, are you a local?"

If you're a local, could you help me carry my bundle into the city?

Take us to a reasonably priced inn, and I'll give you 30 coins.

Xu Qing, still disguised, continued to shout at Wu Yu.

Seeing such a big man, she inexplicably thought of Zhao Dazhi from her home.

Seeing that he was being ostracized by those around him, yet remained silent and unperturbed, I decided to lend him a hand.

When business comes knocking, Wu Yu has no reason to refuse. He nodded and then turned to walk towards Xu Qing.

Ye Wushuang and Cui Han had already come out, and they were both startled when they saw Xu Qing's attire.

"Aunt Xu?"

Ye Wushuang called out uncertainly.

Xu Qing touched her face and asked in confusion, "How did you recognize me? Was my disguise not good enough? Aunt Zhao and the others didn't recognize me when we were in the workshop."
