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

Old Man Qian watched as his granddaughter ran back with a flushed face and locked herself in her room. He was furious, thinking she had been bullied again.

He became even more determined to marry his granddaughter off to someone from another village, but he knew even less about the character of the people from that village and was not entirely at ease with them.

He had observed the Xu family for two days and found them to be trustworthy. They were leaving today, and Old Man Xu had made up his mind.

"Sister-in-law Wen, come here for a moment."

While Wen was talking to Xu Jian, she suddenly heard Old Man Qian's voice.

Seeing that Old Man Qian was waving at her, she assumed that he had some instructions to give her, so she went over.

"Dr. Qian, is there anything else?"

Old Man Qian pressed on, asking, "Are your two sons married? How many people are in your family? Do you own any land? How many rooms do you have?"

Ms. Wen looked at Old Man Qian with surprise. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she tentatively asked, "Why are you asking about this? Is it Angelica dahurica...?"

Old Qian stroked his beard, his aged face showing signs of fatigue.

"It's because of that girl. Actually, it's all my fault. The two marriages I arranged for her were with patients who came to my door seeking medical help, and the men's families were well-off."

I thought Bai Zhi wouldn't suffer after marrying him, but who knew that both of them would die of illness, which is how the reputation of Bai Zhi being a jinx to her husband spread.

Now everyone in Qianjia Village is making fun of her, and no one wants to marry her. But I'm getting so old, I don't know how many more years I have left to live.

I only wish to find her a good home while I'm still alive, so she won't be lonely after I'm gone.

Suddenly, Madam Wen thought of her own daughter. Wasn't it because she thought the Shi family was well-off that she married her daughter off to them? But what was the result?

"Dr. Qian, my two sons are not married yet because we are too poor. We sold our land and house to pay for my husband's medical treatment when he was seriously ill."

He didn't even survive, he still owes several taels of silver in debt, his house is too small, and he has a daughter.

When the topic turned to her daughter, Ms. Wen paused for a moment before deciding to tell the truth: "My daughter was divorced and sent home because she gave birth to two daughters in a row. My two granddaughters are also living with me."

My family's situation is like this; we are simply not a good match for your granddaughter.

Old Man Qian, however, showed a satisfied smile, which left Wen completely bewildered.

"Money is just an external thing. As long as the family is hardworking and united, these things will be earned gradually. The most important thing is character."

Young lady, it's already very kind of you to tell the truth and not deceive this old man. How about this, I'll go ask Bai Zhi, and you can ask your son.

If they both find each other agreeable and are willing to marry, then my wish will be fulfilled.

Overwhelmed with joy, Ms. Wen readily agreed.

But when she returned to Xu Jian's side, she secretly wanted her eldest son to give it a try, but that would be unfair to her second son.

After much thought, Bai Zhi had met both of her sons. If the girl was willing, she would wait for her to choose one, and then let that son marry her.

Wen was not worried at all that her sons would refuse, after all, Qian Baizhi's grandfather was a doctor, and Baizhi was also good at collecting and making medicine.

In this era, doctors and teachers are the most respected professions in the village.

Most importantly, Qian Baizhi is also very pretty and charming.

In a village where most daughters were tanned dark from working in the fields, Qian Baizhi stood out.

Wen was afraid that Qian Baizhi wouldn't like her silly son.

Old Man Qian knocked on Qian Baizhi's door. Even after so much time had passed, the blush on Qian Baizhi's face hadn't completely faded.

Old Man Qian felt very sorry for his granddaughter. She was good in every way, but she was stubborn and would hold a grudge if someone said something to her, which made her feel bad for no reason.

"Baizhi, who bullied you again? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will go find him!"

“No one bullied me, Grandpa.”

Qian Baizhi spoke softly.

Thinking of Xu Gong who spoke up for her, she felt her face burning again, and she quickly lowered her head, afraid that her grandfather would notice.

When this scene was observed by Old Man Qian, he only felt that his granddaughter was running away and didn't want to make things difficult for him.

He sighed, "I'm old and useless. I can't even protect my own granddaughter."

"But I've arranged a marriage for you, Baizhi. This time you absolutely must go see the prospective spouse. Don't run away from it anymore, okay?"

Qian Baizhi's face turned pale instantly; she didn't want to endure the other person's strange gaze any longer.

She knew that those people agreed only because they wanted the money in her grandfather's hands.

"I dont go."

After saying that, he firmly closed the door.

Old Man Qian knocked on the door again, but Qian Baizhi ignored him.

Having been rebuffed, the old man had no choice but to leave in defeat.

Xu Gong managed to hire an oxcart. Xu Jian had broken his leg and was still recovering. Wen helped Xu Jian onto the oxcart.

Wen wanted to ask Old Man Qian which one Bai Zhi had taken a fancy to, so she could go back and arrange for her son to propose marriage.

But seeing the old man's bitter smile, Wen understood that he must not have liked any of them.

Ms. Wen smiled politely: "Thank you so much this time, Dr. Qian. Please come visit my home sometime."

Old Man Qian waved his hand: "You've already given me the money, don't worry about it."

Qian Baizhi knew that the Xu family was leaving today, and she wanted to see Xu Gong one last time, so she secretly peeked out from behind the door.

Xu Gong often went hunting in the mountains and had a keen sense of smell. As if sensing something, he looked behind the door where Qian Baizhi was hiding.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Caught off guard, Qian Baizhi clutched her chest and turned to the side to avoid being seen, her face turning as red as an apple.

Xu Gong didn't think much of it. After saying goodbye to Old Man Qian, the family headed towards Xu Family Village.

When I got home, there were many black lumps piled up in the yard, which looked like dung balls from a distance.

"My goodness! I've only been gone a few days! How come Wangcai is pooping all over the yard?!" Wen exclaimed.

Xu Qing was surprised that her family had returned early. She went up to them with delight and asked, "Big brother, how are you?"

Xu Jian lowered his head with great guilt, because his injury had not only cost his family so much money, but had also burdened his mother and younger sister.

"Thank you for your concern, little sister. I'm fine now."

Ms. Wen, fearing her daughter would worry, explained, "Thanks to your father's blessing from heaven, your eldest brother only broke his leg; he'll recover after a period of rest."

"Brother, come inside and lie down. Mother, I bought a few beds, so we don't have to sleep on the floor anymore."

Today, she collected more than 200 catties of black truffles. Although she hadn't had time to sell them yet, she already had several hundred taels of silver, so Xu Qing planned to improve her life.

The money hasn't been properly channeled yet, so it's not good to repair the house, but buying some furniture is always an option.

As Wen helped Xu Jian into the house, she was so surprised by the 1.8-meter-long wooden bed that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Wow, it's huge! How much did you pay for it?"

Ms. Wen touched the wooden bed with great affection; she couldn't even remember how long it had been since she had slept in a bed.

Xu Jian looked at the large bed in surprise: "Little sister, where did you get the money?"

After all, such a large bed would cost at least one or two taels of silver, and he had already spent a lot on medical expenses these past few days.

You can't make this much money selling roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

Xu Qing explained with a smile, "When I went to town to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), I ran into the craftsman who sells folding wooden tables again."

These beds were made from leftover materials from his crafts; they weren't expensive, only one tael of silver for three beds.

Xu Qing lifted the straw mat and straw, revealing the simple bed frame underneath.

It's just a few wooden planks pieced together, with a few more planks placed in the middle.

Xu Jian's eyes lit up. How come he hadn't thought of this before? After seeing this structure, he could make a bed out of bamboo!
