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

After Wang Daba left, Xu Qing returned home.

Two days later, Wu Yu brought his younger brother to Xujia Village.

Xu Qing hosted a welcome dinner for the two of them at home.

Despite not being shy at all upon their first meeting, the boy sweetly called Xu Qing "sister."

Xu Baobao scolded in an annoyed tone, "You really know how to take advantage. You call me 'Sister Mother,' so does that mean you're on the same generation as my uncles?"

Wu Shan wasn't embarrassed at all, and still smiled brightly, saying, "Sister Qing looks even younger than my brother, so I should call her sister."

Wu Yu slapped Wu Shan on the head and scolded him in a low voice, "You have no manners. You should call him 'Master'."

Xu Qingle was overjoyed and handed Wu Shan a gift: "Don't listen to your brother, just call me sister, I like it."

What woman doesn't like being complimented on her youth?

Wu Shan happily agreed.

After dinner, Xu Qing settled Wu Yu and the other person in a house next to the rubber plantation, where Anna and the others used to live.

Ever since the villagers learned that they were British, people have been coming to see them every day under various pretexts.

The women in the village, in particular, fell for the British man's handsome appearance.

The damage they suffered because of their appearance in the past is a hurdle they haven't yet overcome.

The enthusiasm of the village women was a nuisance to them, and they suffered greatly.

Xu Qing then sent the group to work in the workshops of the prefectural city.

The thatched house next door has also been renovated and is now fully furnished, making it a perfect place for Wu Yu and his companion to live.

"You can stay here for now. I've already sent someone to buy bricks and tiles, and the house will be rebuilt with bricks and tiles in a while."

Wu Yu quickly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. This house is already good enough."

He had seen these thatched huts the last time he came; they were very simple and empty.

This time, not only was the house widened, but a kitchen and outhouse were also added, and a fence was built around it to form a small courtyard.

Most importantly, the room was fully furnished with tables, chairs, beds, wardrobes, and so on.

And everything is brand new, even better than his hometown.

His employer values ​​him so highly, how could he possibly let them spend money on him!

Xu Qing reassured her, "It's not just because of you. My rubber trees might be ready for tapping next year."

It's better to build the rubber product workshop now in advance to avoid being caught off guard later.

Although the thatched house has been repaired and has all the necessary furniture, winter is just around the corner.

Thatched houses aren't warm. If you feel bad about it, you can pay for whatever money was spent on bricks and tiles later.

Wu Shan spoke first: "Brother, Sister Qing is doing this out of kindness. If you refuse, you'll be letting her down."

Wu Yu then agreed: "Then thank you very much, boss. However, I should pay for the workers' wages for building the house myself."

Before I came here, I sold all the farmland and houses in my hometown.

After paying off my debts, I still have some money left over. Plus the 100 taels of silver you gave me, I'm rich.

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, since you have money, then buy the land too. This whole piece of land is mine, and I won't make any profit off you. I'll sell it to you at the original price."

Even Wu Yu, this tough guy, was moved to tears by Xu Qing's presence.

It seems that since he met Xu Qing, there have been several times when he felt like crying because of her.

Once he had the land title, the house he built truly belonged to him.

Wu Yu solemnly agreed: "Thank you, boss. From now on, my life belongs to you."

Xu Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, we all want things to go smoothly and peacefully. We don't want to be shouting and fighting all the time."

After Xu Qing left, Wu Shan asked curiously, "Big brother, why were you so touched when Sister Qing asked you to give her money?"

Wu Yu explained earnestly:

“Xiaoshan, when the landlord heard that I had sold all the farmland in my hometown, he wanted to sell me land to build a house.”

Don't you understand?

Wu Shan immediately understood: "Big brother, I also want to grow up quickly and help the boss guard the rubber plantation."

......

After returning home, Old Man Cao used a combination of threats and inducements against Cao Zheng, the village chief of Cao Family Village.

Just as he expected, Cao Zheng agreed to testify for him.

The matter concerning my son can't wait any longer. They've already urged us several times, and if we can't produce the necessary documents soon, they'll have to give up our spot to someone else.

Old Cao was overjoyed and planned to bring the village chief to Xujia Village again.

I vowed to get the silver this time.

Cao Cong, the son of Old Man Cao, reminded him:

"Father, the village chief's words alone may not be convincing enough."

Bring more people; firstly, it increases credibility, and secondly, more people mean more help.

"If the villagers of Xujia Village surround you like last time, don't be afraid."

Old Cao patted his head: "My son is right, he's the smartest."

Don't worry, your father will definitely get the money back for you this time. My son, just wait to go to the county school!

Cao Cong swiftly opened his folding fan, fanned himself a few times, and said, "Don't let Mother go with you this time, lest she cause trouble again."

Old Cao nodded vigorously: "I'll do whatever my son says."

Finally, Old Cao, along with the village chief and about a dozen strong men from the village, went to Xujia Village.

He hired all the strong men, and gave each of them 10 coins.

There's not much to do in the village now that it's the off-season for farming.

Everyone was happy to hear that they could earn 10 coins for making a trip and saying a few words.

Xu Qing didn't tell Hui Niang about Old Man Cao's debt collection incident last time; she only mentioned it to Xu Jian.

Tell Xu Jian to make sure Hui Niang doesn't go out alone.

Old Cao led a dozen strong men in an oxcart to Xujia Village.

Because of their large group, they were spotted by the villagers as soon as they entered the village.

Many people had seen Old Man Cao cause trouble before.

Seeing that he had come again, and with so many people, someone ran to inform Xu Qing.

"Madam Xu, your sister-in-law's husband is here again, and he brought more than a dozen strong men with him!"

I think he's after your house, so you'd better be careful.

Xu Qing thanked the villager who brought the news and immediately asked Xu Jian to gather the construction workers and wait at the gate.

The doctor had just finished examining Hui Niang's pulse when she heard the commotion outside, so she got up and went outside as well.

When Xu Qing saw her come out, she went up to her and said, "Sister-in-law, did I disturb you?"

Hui Niang asked, "What happened, little sister?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qing decided to tell Hui Niang.

The doctor said her pregnancy was stable and there was nothing to worry about.

"Sister-in-law, your uncle's family came to us with a fake IOU, asking for money."

Don't worry, my brother and I will go out and deal with them right away.

Hui Niang didn't immediately realize who Xu Qing's uncle's family was.

Na Na said, "My maternal family lost contact long after my parents passed away. Besides, neither of my parents had any older brothers, so where would I get an uncle from?"
