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

“The county magistrate just came to pick up Zhou Chenggong, but he refused to leave. The magistrate gave me five taels of silver as wages to help him take care of his child.”

Xu Qing gave a concise explanation.

Xu Gong was so happy he didn't know what to say. His little sister was really amazing.

He took the silver and carefully placed it close to his body.

The vendors selling fern root powder also arrived one after another.

[Ding! Detected powder made from pure, natural, additive-free wild fern roots, 50 coins per pound. Want to sell?]

A mechanical voice kept ringing in Xu Qing's head, making her feel like her head was about to explode.

Can't this thing be muted?

[We've detected that you need to mute. This feature costs 10 coins. Do you want to?]

【Yes! 】

Why not buy some peace and quiet for just ten coins?

The world is finally clean.

"I have 50 jin here, you can weigh it."

My baby weighs 16 jin (approximately 8 catties).

Xu Qing paid them off one by one. She didn't know how to read the ancient scales, but she would know later whether there was any short weight.

If someone tries to shortchange you, just don't buy from them next time.

Xu Qing roughly calculated and bought 200 jin of fern root powder.

She asked Xu Gong to help her move into her room. She bought some candy for each of the two children in the room and asked them to gather some pig feed for the little rabbit and Wangcai.

Only she and Xu Beibei remained in the room. After lowering the curtain, her consciousness sank into her mind, and she brought up the online store.

After she muted her phone, there were no more notifications, but the sales screen also disappeared.

After searching the mall for a while, she finally found the place where it was sold, which terrified her.

It's better to turn the volume up. Is it noisy? Or is it like sending her money?

[Ding! Detected powder made from pure, natural, additive-free wild fern roots, 50 coins per pound. Want to sell?]

【Yes! 】

The three large bags of fern root powder in the room disappeared, and Xu Qing found himself with 10 taels of silver.

If this continues, the house will be repaired soon.

Xu Gong is going to deliver food to the Wen family, so he'll cook dinner early tonight.

For dinner, I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Ever since Xu Baobao tried this dish, she has fallen in love with its flavor and craves it if she doesn't eat it every other day.

Xu Qing bought pork belly from the mall and made braised pork, cold shredded chicken salad, and stir-fried wild vegetables.

To deliver meals to the Wen family, Xu Qing bought a wooden food box at the mall; otherwise, if she had used a bowl, the food probably wouldn't have been eaten.

They packed Wen's menu into a food box in advance, and that was all that was left for their dinner.

When dinner was served, Zhou Chenggong and Xu Zhenzhen could hardly believe it. The house was so dilapidated and hadn't been repaired. Could it be that all the money had been spent on food?

As Xu Zhenzhen ate, she thought of her father, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

I wonder what Father is doing now? Is he enjoying such good food?

She glanced around discreetly, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she stuffed the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) she had only eaten a few bites of into her clothes.

I'll bring it to my father next time I go to town.

Xu Baobao and Xu Gong had gotten used to this kind of food, so they were a little indifferent.

"Second brother, don't come back after you deliver the food. It's too dark and the roads are difficult to walk on at night. Having another person there can help Mother if anything happens. You can come back first thing tomorrow morning."

In the countryside, people don't follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. On the contrary, the Xu family always shares interesting stories from each day when they eat.

Zhou Chenggong found it fascinating; it was completely different from his home.

"That's what I was thinking too, little sister. Tomorrow, can you make some roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) for me and Mom? I can take them with me when I come back in the morning and have them for lunch or dinner."

The doctor said my brother would wake up after taking two more doses of medicine. One dose is for one day, and I come back every morning.

Xu Qing nodded: "I'll still go to town to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) tomorrow, but I'll make a smaller batch. It's always good to have some income. I'll take Beibei with me, and the rest of you can wait for me at home."

Upon hearing this, Xu Gong and Xu Baobao became anxious, as they had lost Beibei once even with so many people around.

Xu Qing actually wanted to take Bei Bei to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) by herself. What if she lost her again?

"Mother, I'll go with you. I'll definitely take good care of my little sister this time."

“Little sister, I can hunt in the mountains near Qianjia Village during the day and earn some money. You just stay at home. The children need you.”

Xu Gong and Xu Baobao spoke almost simultaneously.

Xu Qing knew what they were worried about. She took Xu Beibei out because the little one needed to drink milk every three hours.

It takes her three hours to go to town, even if she doesn't do anything. If she's left at home and gets hungry, there's no one to feed her.

Besides, she still needs to buy some things; it would be too frightening for her to conjure them out of thin air.

"I promise I won't lose Beibei, don't worry. I made a baby carrier to tie to Beibei's bamboo basket, and then I'll carry the basket on my chest."

Second brother, don't go hunting. If eldest brother wakes up early, mother will be overwhelmed and helpless. It's better for you to stay with her.

Zhenzhen and Zhou Chenggong just came to our house. The baby went with me; they probably won't even get to eat at home. I'll be back soon.

Xu Qing's words made sense, and the two of them couldn't refute them.

After dinner, just as dusk was falling, Xu Gong set off carrying the food box.

It would be great if I had my own car; it would be so convenient to go anywhere.

But at this rate of earning money, I'll be able to afford it sooner or later.

After putting the children to sleep, Xu Qing searched through the online store and found pre-made steamed buns and meat patties.

I bought 40 of them and put them in my shopping cart. I can just take them out and fry them tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xu Qing set off, carrying Xu Beibei in one hand and a basket on his back.

On the oxcart sat several villagers heading to town. When Aunt Chen saw Xu Qing arrive, she quickly helped her take the basket off her back and put it on the oxcart.

With a fawning smile, she said, "Qing'er, you've gone to town to do business again. How's your older brother?"

She saw it all at home yesterday; Xu Qing was chatting and laughing with the county magistrate, and the magistrate even gave her five taels of silver.

Thinking about how he sold her fern root powder, he was afraid of offending Xu Qing and being resented by her.

Here we go, let's quickly fix it.

Xu Qing looked at Aunt Chen, who was inexplicably enthusiastic towards her, and replied with a smile:

"Yes, I bought some things on the way back. My older brother is fine, but he's still not very mobile. He'll be back in a couple of days."

Many people in the village saw them frantically searching for someone yesterday and taking an oxcart to Qianjia Village.

When Xu Jianguo returned, everyone knew everything as soon as they asked him.

Aunt Chen: "Your eldest brother will definitely be blessed by heaven and will be fine."

By the way, have you collected enough fern root powder? My daughter went up the mountain yesterday and dug up a lot of fern roots. They're all processed and just need to be dried.

The other villagers on the oxcart were also listening intently. If they were still buying, their sons, who had nothing better to do anyway, could go up the mountain to dig some up and earn some extra money to supplement the family income.

Xu has settled the accounts. Her family now consists of 4 adults and 3 children. The adults eat half a jin (250 grams) per meal, and the 3 children eat a jin (500 grams) per meal.

She eats 3 jin (1.5 catties) of fern root powder per meal, and 9 jin (4.5 catties) of it per day. She collected 200 jin (100 catties) and finished it in two months.

"We're still buying. We bought 200 jin yesterday, but it won't be enough to make it through the New Year."

Xu Qing went through the calculations with the villagers again, and when they heard it, they exclaimed, "Good heavens, we still need to collect several hundred kilograms!"

"Then I'll have my son get some more when I get back, dry them, and bring them to you, Qing girl."

"I am me too."

Xu Qing: "Just send your things. I'll let you know in advance if I decide not to accept any more."

Hearing this, everyone was completely relieved and couldn't wait to go back and start working. Although there were many fern roots on the mountain, now that they knew they could be sold for money, more people were digging for them.
