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

Wen knew that Xu Qing had a magic weapon given to her by her father that could make money, so she didn't say anything.

After carefully examining the structure of the wooden bed, Xu Jian said to Xu Qing:

"Little sister, I've already memorized the shape of the beds. Why don't we sell these beds and I'll make new ones out of bamboo? That way we can save a tael of silver."

Xu Qing: "Brother, don't worry about money. I've already figured out a way to make money."

But you are. How did you end up at the bottom of the slope?

Madam Wen also looked at Xu Jian, as this was something she was concerned about. However, Xu Jian had been unconscious before, and she had intended to ask him about it after he woke up, but Old Man Qian called her over and told her about Qian Baizhi.

She hadn't asked yet, but now that her daughter brought it up, she listened along.

Xu Jian said with some annoyance, "I set up a few traps before I chopped wood. When I went to check them out before leaving, a wild boar suddenly rushed out."

In the chaos, I don't know how I ended up at the edge of the slope. The wild boar charged straight at me, and I rolled down the slope.

I forgot Wangcai's mother was still on the mountain. I'm sorry, Mother, Little Sister, I made you worry.

Ms. Wen said with lingering fear, "Never go into the deep mountains alone again."

Xu Jian nodded in agreement.

Then Wen asked Xu Qing, "Why are there so many black lumps in the yard?"

From a distance, Wen thought it was pig manure, but after looking closely, she realized it wasn't.

“Wangcai likes to eat.” Xu Qing winked at Wen Shi.

Ms. Wen realized what was happening and said, "Then I'll go pack it up and let Wangcai eat it slowly."

After telling Xu Jian to get some rest, Xu Qing followed Wen Shi out.

Xu Jian was injured, so Wen gave up her room for Xu Jian and his brother and Zhou Chenggong to stay in, as it was inconvenient to live in the kitchen during the day to cook.

Every afternoon is Zhou Chenggong's time to teach the two sisters to read. The two little girls are very smart and can already write their own names.

Xu Gong listened with great interest, and he also wanted to learn to read.

Wen and Xu Qing were whispering to each other in the kitchen.

"Girl, can those black lumps be sold for money?"

“One tael of silver per catty, Mother. Yesterday I went to town and sold an inkstone and a brush, and earned three hundred taels.”

Tomorrow I'm going to sell paper again, which will bring in another sum of money, plus this black lump.

"We can finally afford to repair our house, but the money hasn't been sourced properly, and it's driving me crazy."

Wen was completely bewildered; all he could think about was money, piles of silver.

Did happiness come so suddenly?

They used to earn just a few copper coins, saving every penny they could. But when their daughter came home, it would bring in several hundred coins. Now it's grown to several hundred taels of silver...

It's better to have a daughter! Look how lucky daughters are!

"What do you suggest? I'll do whatever you say."

Xu Qing couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he decided to take it one step at a time.

In the afternoon, Wen was steaming buns at home, while Xu Gong started chopping meat filling to prepare roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) for sale tomorrow.

Xu Qing also researched a new gadget: jelly.

I stumbled upon Aiyu while digging for black truffles in the mountains.

Xu Qing picked a few and brought them back. She had already peeled them and hung them out to dry on the roof. They could be made into Aiyu jelly that night.

After dinner, Xu Qing began making jelly.

Put the aiyu seeds into a gauze bag, add cooled boiled water and gently rub continuously. The pectin will slowly be extracted and eventually become more and more viscous.

Add white sugar and stir well. Pour the mixture into the mold that Xu Qing prepared in advance, add some fruit, and wait for it to solidify before eating.

The children watched intently, barely daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Xu Qing.

Seeing the added sugar and fruit made my mouth water uncontrollably.

Although I ate a big dinner, this looks even more delicious.

"Mom, what is this?"

Xu Baobao looked at the crystal-clear, trembling transparent crystal in front of her and asked softly.

Xu Qing scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Xu Baobao: "Try it, is it good?"

Xu Baobao squinted her eyes in delight: "It's so delicious, Mom! It's sweet, cool, and smells like fruit."

Xu Qing scooped another spoonful and fed it to Xu Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, eat up, don't you like what I made?"

Xu Zhenzhen shook her head: "No, I like it very much. Everything my mother makes is delicious."

She spoke very softly, especially when she said the word "mother".

Xu Qing knew that the child was not used to it yet, and that things would get better with time.

Zhou Chenggong had eaten many snacks, but this was the first time he had ever seen this. After taking a bite, he couldn't stop eating it.

He really made the right choice coming here. Aunt Xu's house is not only fun, but also has a lot of delicious food. He really wants to stay here forever!

After receiving unanimous praise from the children, Xu Qing also asked Wen Shi and her two older brothers for their evaluation.

No one said it tasted bad, which meant that it suited people's tastes, so Xu Qing decided to add jelly to the menu at his stall.

The next day, Xu Jian stayed home to recover from his injury, Xu Gong went up the mountain to chop firewood, and Xu Baobao and Zhou Chenggong stayed home to feed the pigs and chickens.

Last night, Xu Gong worked through the night to weave a bamboo fence to enclose the chicks and also made a simple chicken coop so that the adult chickens could lay eggs.

Wen and Xu Qing led Xu Beibei and Xu Zhenzhen into the city.

After selling all the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), Xu Qing first took Xu Zhenzhen to find the one-armed beggar.

On the way, Xu Qing bought some food and black flour and put them in his basket, which made Xu Zhenzhen's eyes red.

Upon arriving at the abandoned Taoist temple, there was no sign of the one-armed beggar.

Xu Zhenzhen suddenly became anxious. Usually, her father would wait here for the little beggars to come back and distribute the things they had begged. Why wasn't he here today?

She spotted Dachong in the crowd, ran over, pulled him up from the ground, and asked, "Where's Dad?"

After turning around and recognizing Xu Zhenzhen, Dachong cried and said, "Dad is sick. I saw him vomit blood last night, but we don't have the money to hire a doctor."

This morning, Dad went out by himself and told us not to follow him. He said he would find some herbs on the mountain to eat and that would make him feel better.

I've been waiting for him here, but he hasn't come back yet. Waaaaah…

After Xu Zhenzhen found out which mountain the one-armed beggar had gone to, she immediately ran up the mountain. She ran very fast, and Xu Qing couldn't get her to respond, so he could only follow closely behind her.

On the way out of the city, Xu Zhenzhen bumped into a girl, and Xu Qing quickly helped her up and apologized.

After I explained the situation, the young woman said she knew a little about medicine and since the child was so anxious, she might as well go with him to get a checkup.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly at how naive the girl was, not even afraid that they were scammers. But it was good to have a doctor with her.

The two then followed Xu Zhenzhen all the way up the mountain.

Despite the difficult mountain path, Xu Zhenzhen moved with remarkable speed, as if she were in an empty place.

Fortunately, Xu Qing's body has recovered very well, and the girl seems to be used to walking on mountain paths, so the two of them didn't lose each other.

Xu Zhenzhen stopped at one spot and then burst into tears.

The two men, panting, approached and saw the one-armed beggar lying unconscious on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

The young woman took the one-armed beggar's hand to check his pulse. Xu Qing dared not make a sound to disturb her, and could only comfort Xu Zhenzhen:

"This young lady is a doctor. Your father will be alright. Don't cry."

"He must have a stomach ailment. Tell me about the patient's condition in detail," the girl said in a low voice.

However, neither Xu Zhenzhen nor the other knew the specific details of the one-armed beggar, and the girl was unable to make any more specific judgments.

"Mother," Xu Zhenzhen said, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs, "Please, save my father. Can you take him back to Xu Family Village? I will repay your kindness by doing anything for you. Please."

If I leave him in town, Dad will definitely die... Waaah.

"Stop crying, why are you saying all this? Saving lives is the priority. Let's take your father home first."

This beggar had also done a favor for the Xu family, and she wasn't the kind of person to stand by and watch someone die.

Xu Qing and Xu Zhenzhen worked together to help the one-armed beggar down the mountain. There was no time to find other doctors, so Xu Qing begged the girl if she could go back to Xu Family Village with them.
