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

Xu Qing's gentle, soft voice gave Xu Zhenzhen ample comfort and a sense of security, and she mustered her courage to say:

“Mother, I’m afraid I’ll cause you trouble, so you’ll send me back to the Cui family…”

"I...I don't want to go back. I don't know anyone there. I just want to stay in Xujia Village with you all."

Xu Qing asked, puzzled, "Who said that if you cause trouble, they'll send you away?"

Besides, this is clearly someone bullying us, how could it be considered trouble?

Today, Mom will teach you what self-defense is called. Do you understand?

As long as we don't cause trouble, if anyone dares to bully you, just fight them back. If you can't win, run back and tell your mother, and she'll help you.

Xu Zhenzhen was still a child, and when the other children said that she would be sent away if she was disobedient, she took it to heart.

She didn't want to leave this warm family, so she was always cautious and never spoke of any grievances she suffered outside.

She just silently processed it all; after all, it was just a few words, and it wouldn't hurt her.

Why tell my mother and uncle? It would only make them angry and add to their troubles.

But now her mother is telling her that she likes to bother her and that she shouldn't tolerate others bullying her. She should retaliate if anyone bullies her!

"I understand, Mother. I will definitely do as you say from now on."

Xu Zhenzhen assured.

"Big sister, I've had enough of those idiots. It's so good that you've come to your senses."

I told you, Mother wouldn't send you away because of something like this, would she? But you didn't believe me.

My mother isn't like those shallow, morally ambiguous women in the village!

Xu Baobao said happily.

Xu Qing tapped Xu Baobao's forehead:

"You're such a flatterer. I don't know where you got your mouth from, you're so good at talking."

"Let's go find Cuihua. She dared to bully your older sister; we'll make her give us an explanation."

Xu Qing took the lead and walked out. Xu Gong was very quick to learn and had already learned to ride a bicycle. He rode to Qianjia Village to find Qian Baizhi.

Xu Qing then went to the field to call Xu Jian and the dozen or so men who were planting trees together.

Upon hearing that his niece had been wronged, Xu Jian picked up a hoe and headed straight for Cuihua's house.

Cuihua is the daughter of Xu Dawang in the village. His wife is from the neighboring Wangjia Village and is a very feisty person.

Xu Qing knocked on the gate of Xu Dawang's house, and Wang opened the door.

With her large pregnant belly, Wang looked at the dozen or so men standing outside the courtyard gate, each of them looking menacing.

He confronted Xu Qing, demanding, "What do you mean by this? Are you taking advantage of the fact that my husband isn't home?"

Xu Qing glanced at Wang Shi's belly and felt a headache coming on. Wang Shi was known for her fiery temper.

Now that she's pregnant, things are going to get complicated!

What if something goes wrong, causing a miscarriage or other accidents?

But I can't let my daughter suffer injustice go unpunished.

Xu Qing gave Zhao Da a wink, signaling him to go and invite the village chief.

Zhao Da immediately understood and retreated to the back of the crowd.

Xu Qing was satisfied, and then turned to Wang Shi and said:

"Aunt Wang, you've misunderstood. I'm here because your Cuihua pushed my baby into the field today."

Today, the two sisters are wearing new dresses that I brought back from Haiqu, 50 taels each. The fabric is delicate; even rough hands will snag it when you touch it.

In her attempt to save her sister, Zhenzhen ended up with both girls rolling into the field and returning covered in mud.

These clothes are no longer wearable.

After I found out what happened, it turned out that it wasn't just Cuihua who pushed them. Your Cuihua even privately called my Zhenzhen a bastard.

Your family needs to give me an explanation for this."

When Wang heard that Cuihua had pushed the two Xu sisters into the field, she didn't think much of it. She thought it was normal for children to accidentally hurt each other during play.

The only reason to blame her daughter is that she is too weak and useless; otherwise, how could she have been pushed into the field?

They actually made such a big fuss about this, acting like they were accusing her. Do they think she's easy to bully?

To everyone's surprise, Xu Qing's next words were, "That skirt costs 50 taels!" What kind of skirt is this? Is it made of gold?

She instantly bristled: "Are you kidding me? The way you usually dress your child, 50 taels of silver? At most, it's only 5 taels."

You're saying my daughter Cuihua just pushed her? What if your daughter fell down on her own and you're just framing my daughter Cuihua to avoid being scolded by you?

Also, you said my daughter called Xu Zhenzhen a bastard, am I wrong? Isn't she a bastard?

It's hilarious; these days, people can't even tell the truth.

I'll call her a bastard today, what can you do about it?

Xu Qing resisted the urge to slap her, constantly reminding herself: This person is pregnant, I can't hit her lightly.

Whoever strikes first is in the wrong.

She said coldly, "You'd better watch your mouth, not only for yourself, but also for the child in your womb. Speak badly and you'll suffer the consequences!"

I'm not here today to argue with you. Let's talk things out between the children and resolve this peacefully.

Wang scoffed, "What's going on between the children? Let the children handle their own affairs."

What's the meaning of you calling so many people to surround my gate now?

"Does your child look like a coward, crying and running home to his parents for support after being pushed and insulted?"

Just then, the village chief arrived.

On the way, Zhao Da had already explained the whole story to him.

The crowd parted automatically, and the village chief stepped forward, speaking authoritatively:

"It's normal for children to play around, but it's wrong to push someone into the field."

What's more, Cuihua used such offensive language to insult others.

"Let Cuihua come out and apologize to Xu Qing's daughter, and promise that she won't do it again. Then we'll let this matter drop."

“No,” Xu Qing said. “Cuihua deliberately pushed the baby into the field. Zhenzhen did it to save the baby; it doesn’t matter if the dress is ruined.”

But I have to compensate for the baby's dress. I bought it for 50 taels of silver, and the baby only wore it for the first time today. Even with a discount, it would still cost 40 taels.

An apology and compensation are both indispensable; otherwise, I will report this to the authorities and have the county magistrate handle the matter.

Xu Qing originally only wanted Cuihua to apologize to Bao Bao and Zhenzhen in front of everyone and that would be the end of it.

Who knew that Wang would have such a vicious tongue, and to make matters worse, she was pregnant, so I couldn't hit her or scold her.

She was incredibly frustrated, and if the village chief didn't come soon, she probably wouldn't be able to hold back anymore.

If we don't teach her a lesson, people will think that Xu Qing's daughter is easy to bully.

"Don't even think about it. You say it's 50 taels of silver, but what proof do you have that your skirt is worth 50 taels? I could say it's not worth a single coin!"

Wang pointed at Xu Qing and spat out a torrent of saliva.

The village chief said somewhat awkwardly, "Qing, do you have any proof? If not, I can't speak up for you anymore..."

The village chief believed that Xu Qing could afford clothes costing 50 taels of silver, but with so many people watching, he couldn't just speak up for Xu Qing on his own.
