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

At Aji's insistence, the wooden box was ultimately not charged.

After Xu Qing paid the remaining balance for the rubber tree seedlings, Aji found a wooden cart, and Wu Yu helped transport the wooden crates to the dock.

"You can leave it here. My guards will come and move it later."

Xu Qing pointed to a corner at the entrance of the dock, indicating that Wu Yu should park the cart there.

Wu Yu stopped but didn't let go: "Let me help you carry the wooden box to the ship."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "No need. The things are with the guards. There are too many people at the dock. We'll pack them up outside first and then transport them inside to avoid them getting damaged."

Wu Yu then gave up and bowed to Xu Qing, saying, "Then I'll take my leave here, Madam."

My brother asked me to thank you on his behalf. If it weren't for your generous donation of medicine, he probably... even if he survived, he would have become mentally disabled.

He wanted to come in person, but his health was too weak, and our village was far from the city, making a long journey inconvenient.

"If you come to Haiqu again next time, just go to Duofu Inn and look for Wu Tie. He can find me, and I'll treat you to a proper meal then."

"Row."

Xu Qing readily agreed.

However, she probably won't come again.

Hai Qu and she were incompatible according to their birth charts, so she didn't leave a good impression on her.

Wu Yu turned and took his leave.

Xu Qing looked around, but no one was paying attention to her.

well.

She put her hand into the wooden box and used her mind to buy a 28-inch bicycle and a piece of black cloth in the mall.

Xu Qing covered the bicycle with a black cloth, and then covered the black cloth with straw that he had prepared in advance.

After doing all this, Xu Qing clapped his hands and waited for Ye Wushuang.

She had been away from home for almost half a month and was eager to return.

When she left, Beibei could already sit up on her own, and there were also Baobao and Zhenzhen. She missed her family.

Thinking of her family, Xu Qing's heart warmed, and she wished she could get home immediately.

After Ye Wushuang arrived, she instructed the guards to carry the wooden box onto the boat. She asked curiously, "Aunt Xu, what did you buy?"

Xu Qing kept everyone in suspense: "It's a good thing, a specialty of Great Britain, which Wu Yu's friend brought back."

There's only one of its kind in the entire country, guaranteed to be unique. There are too many people around here, so I'll show it to you when we get back.

If I say this here, and Ye Wushuang also wants to buy one, wouldn't that give us away?

She inquired at the market this morning and learned that Great Britain does indeed have bicycles, but they are not allowed to be exported.

It's not that people haven't smuggled bicycles back to sell before, it's just that a bicycle isn't cheap.

Even in Great Britain, it would cost 1000 taels of silver, and the price would be several times higher if it were transported over.

Wealthy families who could afford it felt that riding a bicycle was beneath their dignity and preferred to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Ordinary people couldn't even afford to ride in an oxcart, let alone spend several thousand taels of silver to buy a bicycle.

This led to a gradual decrease in the number of people smuggling bicycles back to sell. When Xu Qing inquired in the morning, someone said that if she really wanted one, they would get her one.

……

The Wen family knew that Xu Qing would be returning in the next couple of days.

They would send one person to wait at the dock every day so that they could pick her up as soon as possible.

Today it's Xu Jian's turn.

Xu Jian saw another ship approaching from afar, stood up and walked to the place where the ship docked to disembark passengers.

As Xu Qing watched the dock getting closer and closer, her heart was filled with excitement. She walked out of her room and ran onto the deck.

She spotted Xu Jian standing in front of her immediately.

"Big brother!"

She waved her hand and couldn't help but shout loudly.

The shouts carried by the wind to Xu Jian's ears, and he saw black dots on the boat waving at him.

Although he couldn't make out the figure clearly, he was certain that it was his younger sister.

Finally, the ship docked.

The wooden planks for passengers to get on and off had just been set up when Xu Jian rushed up:

"Little sister, you're finally back! I have great news to tell you, your sister-in-law is pregnant!"

Xu Qing wanted to hug Xu Jian, but remembering the ancient customs, he restrained himself and called him "Big Brother" again.

Before she could even recover from the excitement of seeing her relatives...

Xu Jian dropped another bombshell.

"What? My sister-in-law is pregnant?"

Wasn't Hui Niang infertile?

"Yes, the day you left, Hui Niang lost her appetite and couldn't eat anything all day."

I thought she was worried about you, so Mom specially made fried chicken for her, but she actually threw up!

I rushed to get a doctor, only to find out she was pregnant.

Xu Jian happily shared the news with Xu Qing; heaven knows how excited he was when he heard it.

He had already planned to adopt a child in the future, but who knew that God would be so kind to him and give him a child!

"Sister-in-law..."

"Why are you stuck in traffic? If you want to talk, go downstairs. We still need to disembark!"

Hearing a urging voice from behind, Xu Qing realized that he had been so caught up in his joy that he had blocked the other person's way.

Xu Qing apologized to the people behind her, "Sorry, we'll go down right away."

Xu Jian hurried downstairs, and Xu Qing followed him down.

"Brother, let's talk about it when we get home. I bought something nice in Haiqu."

Xu Jian nodded repeatedly: "By the way, little sister, where's your luggage? I'll go help you carry it down."

Xu Qing stopped Xu Jian, who was about to leave, and said:

"My luggage is in the warehouse. Ye Wushuang's guards will help me unload it. You can just wait here, brother."

But my older brother needs to find some skilled workers to help me move the rubber tree seedlings.

The saplings in the market are all one-year-old saplings.

However, even with several hundred saplings together, and the soil balls around their roots, it still makes a large pile.

"No problem, I'll go right now."

Xu Qing paid some silver to have the crew on the ship help unload the saplings, and with the help of Ye Wushuang's 10 guards, they were unloaded quickly.

A small mountain of saplings was piled up on the dock, attracting curious glances from those around.

"What kind of sapling is this? I've never seen it before?"

"I have traveled all over the country for so many years and I have never seen this kind of sapling before."

"This ship is returning from Haiqu; could it be from Great Britain?"

"Speaking of Haiqu, it does look a bit like a rubber tree to me."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. Could it be that some sucker is trying to plant rubber trees again? There are no more government subsidies now!"

"Probably another person with an inexplicable overconfidence in themselves..."

The onlookers did not try to hide their conversation.

They actually hoped that the owner of the saplings would hear this and refute them.

This way they can find out some inside information that they want to know.

Xu Qing didn't take these words to heart, nor did she want to argue with others.

Arguing without disagreement is just a waste of time; once she has planted the saplings, these voices will naturally disappear.

Xu Jian had already found people and hired more than a dozen oxcarts. The workers carried the saplings onto the oxcarts and transported them to Xujia Village.

Xu Qing's wooden box and the gifts she brought for her family were placed separately on an oxcart.

Xu Jian looked at the large wooden box and asked, "Is this the good stuff my little sister mentioned that she bought from Haiqu?"
