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

Wang's voice was loud, and the large crowd gathered outside the courtyard attracted many villagers who came to watch the spectacle.

However, everyone remained cautious and did not speak. Wang was known for her fiery temper, and anyone who offended her would be scolded from the beginning of the year to the end.

Needless to say, everyone wanted to work in Xu Qing's workshop.

They dared not offend either side.

Upon hearing the village chief ask her to produce proof, everyone craned their necks to stare.

"A skirt that costs 50 taels of silver, my goodness!"

"I'm buried up to his neck in the yellow earth, and I've never seen such expensive clothes. It's a pity. If they hadn't been destroyed, I could have taken a look and broadened my horizons."

"But to be fair, I think even if Qing's family is rich, they wouldn't be willing to buy such expensive clothes for their little girl."

"That's right, listen to what she said, both daughters have it, so that's 100 taels of silver, isn't it?"

"This little girl is too young to wear such nice clothes. She'll get married eventually anyway."

Xu Qing was unaware of the villagers' gossip because they were far away and speaking softly.

If they found out, they would definitely vehemently refute it.

Wang looked at Xu Qing with a relaxed expression and said, "Take it out."

There's no proof of purchase you can provide when you buy clothes.

Today she'll see how Xu Qing handles this!

Anyone who dares to bully her, Wang Taohua, will pay the price!

Didn't she say it was bought in Haiqu? Unless we go to Haiqu and ask the shopkeeper of the clothing store to come back and prove it.

Otherwise, it would be completely unconvincing.

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow and took out a receipt from her purse.

Fortunately, you get a receipt when you buy things at the British Market.

This was invented by the government to facilitate tax collection, and it only exists in markets engaged in foreign trade.

If she bought this dress elsewhere and can't produce it today, it will be a bit of a problem.

"The village chief is literate, let him read it to you. This is the official seal, recognized by government offices everywhere."

If you still don't believe me, then there's no need for further words; let's go straight to the yamen (government office).

In front of everyone, the village chief unfolded the paper and quickly scanned its contents.

He occasionally went to the government office to help villagers with some land-related matters, and thus became familiar with the government office's seal.

After confirming it was true, the village chief looked up and said to Wang:

"This is fine, it really is a skirt that costs 50 taels of silver."

You should do as Qingya said. If this goes to the authorities, your health won't be able to handle it."

The villagers watching from afar all gasped, unable to control their voices for a moment.

"It's actually true? Has Xu Qing gone mad?"

"It's one thing to buy such expensive clothes for your own biological child, but why does your adopted daughter also wear such expensive clothes?"

"She's so bad at managing a household; whoever marries her will be a real spendthrift..."

"So we still can't let women be in charge. It's not good for women to be in charge. Whoever marries her in the future should let the man be in charge."

Xu Jian turned his head, glared at the gossipy villagers, and brandished his hoe:

"You're all ugly, but you think you're so great! Get the hell out of here! If anyone spouts any more nonsense about my little sister, I'll smash that hoe into their mouth!"

As soon as Wang came out, Xu Qing saw that she was pregnant and told Xu Jian not to say anything and to leave everything to her.

Therefore, he endured all the harsh words Wang said, and the pent-up frustration he couldn't express with Wang finally found an outlet.

The villagers who were scolded realized that they shouldn't have let the Xu family hear their words, and they all shrank back, not daring to make a sound.

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Wang immediately clutched her stomach and collapsed to the ground.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts so much! You guys scared me, you have to take responsibility!"

If I can't save this child, it won't just be a matter of 50 taels of silver!

The village chief looked at Wang, who was sitting on the ground panting heavily, at a loss, unsure whether she was faking it or not.

At this moment, Zhao Da pushed through the crowd and shouted, "Make way, make way! The doctor is here!"

Zhao Da's admiration for his employer was like a surging river, endless and boundless.

Does the owner have the ability to predict the future? This prediction is too accurate.

He had just brought the doctor over when he heard the troublemaking woman fall to the ground, crying out in pain.

The village chief exclaimed with delight, "The doctor has arrived just in time! Quickly, come and examine Wang Shi!"

Wang's cries of pain paused for a moment, then gradually weakened.

Xu Qing saw this and sneered inwardly.

"This is the best doctor for pregnant women that I specially asked Zhao Da to go to town to invite."

Let her take a good look at you; after all, this is a life at stake. We really can't afford the responsibility if something goes wrong.

Wang was anxious. Her usual methods of arguing with others were ineffective against Xu Qing.

Her eyes darted around, and she came up with another plan: "No, men and women shouldn't touch each other, and I'm pregnant now. I absolutely cannot let any other man get close to me."

Xu Qing chuckled: "I've considered that too. We've hired a female doctor, so Aunt Wang doesn't need to worry."

The doctor reached the front of the crowd and, sure enough, saw a pregnant woman lying on the ground. She quickly went to her.

"Don't be afraid, madam. I've treated many pregnant women from the villages near Datong Town."

"As long as I'm here, your child will be absolutely fine. I'll make sure you have a smooth and safe delivery of a healthy baby boy!"

Wang finally lost her temper. She forcefully pulled her hand back from the doctor's and started acting like a rogue:

"I don't want the doctor you hired. Who knows if he's a real doctor or a fake one? What if he's a bad doctor? I was fine before, but he made me look like I had a problem."

The doctor was unhappy:

“Madam, don’t talk nonsense. Go and find out about my reputation as He Shengshou.”

Who in the entire Datong town doesn't know this? Are you going to take a look or not? If it weren't for someone saying it was a matter of life and death, and offering me three times the silver to make this trip...

I'm too lazy to run around; there's a whole line of people waiting for me to take their pulse!

The village chief could now see that Wang was faking it, but since it concerned the little life inside her, he dared not draw any conclusions.

He could only stand aside and gently persuade her: "Oh dear, Wang Taohua, what are you doing!"

Is it so hard for you to admit your mistake? If you don't have that much money to compensate, just say some nice things to them and beg for mercy. We're all from the same village, do you think Qingya will make things difficult for you?

If you keep acting like this, I'm really not going to take care of you anymore! You can just wait to go to the authorities!

After saying this, the village chief felt a little guilty. He realized that Wang Taohua didn't want to pay the money back.

He really didn't want to have to go to the government every time something happened.

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face to him, the village chief? He can't even handle the smallest things in the village, and he always has to bother the county magistrate.
