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

Old Man Qian noticed that his granddaughter had been acting strangely lately; ever since the Xu family left, she would often drift off into a daze.

Her condition worsened after the second son of the Xu family brought her back last time. She would occasionally giggle foolishly, and the pulse diagnosis revealed nothing; she was perfectly healthy.

Old Man Qian was a little anxious. Bai Zhi wasn't a coy woman; if she fell in love with someone, she would definitely tell him.

He asked his granddaughter, but she refused to tell him.

When asked too many questions, Qian Baizhi went to the mountains, saying she was digging for medicinal herbs. This left the old man alone at home, deep in thought.

"Dr. Qian," Xu Gong knocked on the door and called out, "Are you home?"

Old Man Qian's eyes lit up. He had been wondering when to go to the Xu family to inquire about the situation, and now he was there himself.

Old Man Qian quickly opened the door, let the person in, and then slammed the door shut.

"Young man, who is this young lady?"

Old Man Qian glared at Xu Qing with ill intent; his granddaughter was very likely to have taken a liking to one of the Xu family members.

If someone else beats him to it, he won't let that kid off the hook.

Xu Qing introduced himself: "I am Xu Qing, the third son of the Xu family. Doctor Qian, you can just call me by my name."

Upon hearing that it was his younger sister, Old Man Qian's eyes softened immediately. So they were family.

"Qing, what brings you here? Is the patient unwell after taking the medicine Bai Zhi prescribed the other day?"

Xu Qing: "No, Miss Baizhi's medical skills are excellent. The patient has recovered completely. I came today to ask her something and to buy some medicinal herbs."

"Does Dr. Qian know about the medicinal herb *Euphorbia fischeriana*? I would like to ask Dr. Qian to teach me how to identify it."

Xu Qing really didn't know how much he needed to concoct an effective formula, and he couldn't keep coming to buy it every few days.

Not to mention the inconvenience, she knew that medicinal herbs were very expensive, so why didn't she go and pick them herself from the mountain?

Old Man Qian readily agreed with a smile: "Bai Zhi is currently gathering herbs on the mountain. Why don't we wait at home for a while? Perhaps she will return with wolfsbane today."

Xu Qing thought it would take some effort, since identifying medicinal herbs is a skill that is not easily passed on.

Xu Qing was surprised that Old Man Qian agreed so readily, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a kind family they are."

Old Man Qian packed the medicinal herbs that Xu Qing had requested. Xu Qing handed over the silver, but Old Man Qian waved his hand and refused, saying, "No need, no need, it's not much."

"However," Old Man Qian changed the subject, "there's something I'd like to ask the Xu family boy."

Xu Gong looked completely bewildered: "Dr. Qian, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Xu Gong's expression was normal, Old Man Qian secretly wondered, could it be the eldest son of the Xu family?

Forget it, I'll just ask directly: "How is your older brother's health? Is he interested in my granddaughter?"

Ok?

Isn't this topic being changed too quickly?

What does it mean to mean intentionally?

I don't quite understand.

Xu Gong blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him: "I don't know either."

Old Man Qian: "Did your mother ever tell you that I intended to marry Bai Zhi to one of your brothers?"

Xu Gong's mind went blank at this moment. How did the conversation suddenly turn to marriage?

He could only shake his head blankly.

Old Man Qian was even more satisfied with the Xu family. Although he had mentioned it briefly last time, his granddaughter hadn't agreed, and Madam Wen hadn't said anything out of turn when she got back, showing that she was a polite person.

Now, her granddaughter has clearly fallen for the Xu family, but for some reason she doesn't say it directly. Could it be that the Xu family's son isn't interested in her granddaughter?

Thinking of this, Old Man Qian got angry again. How could he not like his granddaughter, who was so outstanding?

Xu Gong watched as Old Man Qian's expression changed repeatedly, sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning, and he became somewhat nervous.

Old Man Qian: "And you? As for Angelica dahurica..."

"Grandpa! What are you saying!"

The courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and Qian Baizhi interrupted her urgently.

"I'm talking to you." Old Man Qian immediately pulled Qian Baizhi in front of him: "This is Xu Gong's sister, Xu Qing. She's looking for wolfsbane. Take her to find it."

After saying that, he pushed Qian Baizhi and Xu Qing out of the courtyard.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! What are you doing? Don't push me!"

Ignoring Qian Baizhi's cries, the old man slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

Xu Qing was so embarrassed that he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes.

As a modern person, what doesn't she understand? It seems that this Miss Qian is very likely to become her eldest or second sister-in-law.

Qian Baizhi said shyly, "My grandfather is just a very impulsive person, don't mind him, I'll take you to find him."

Now that things have come to this, she has come to terms with it. She does like Xu Gong, but she is also a little afraid that she might really be a jinx to her husbands.

Therefore, she never dared to express her feelings. Since fate had repeatedly brought Xu Gong to her, wouldn't she be letting down God if she refused again?

Let Grandpa ask her. If Xu Gong doesn't mind her...

Xu Qing sensed the sudden lightness in Miss Qian's footsteps and asked curiously, "Miss Qian, aren't you afraid your grandfather will continue talking after we leave?"

Qian Baizhi laughed heartily: "Fine, I'll say it. I do like your second brother. Has your second brother ever mentioned me at home?"

Xu Qing didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings, but lying was also wrong, so she had no choice but to change the subject and ask, "What do you like about my second brother?"

Qian Baizhi gave a shy smile: "Don't laugh at me when I tell you."

Xu Qing held up a finger, making a gesture as if swearing an oath to heaven: "I promise I won't laugh at you."

Qian Baizhi: "My grandfather arranged two marriages for me, but both men died. People in the village say I'm a jinx, and they laugh at me whenever they see me."

Over time, I've occasionally started to wonder if I really am an unlucky person.

Xu Gong defended me when others mocked me, treating me the same as everyone else, which made me feel like I was a normal person too.

Xu Qing sighed at his second brother's good fortune; if it weren't for the issue of Qian Baizhi's reputation, his second brother wouldn't have gotten such a good deal.

This is definitely a classic case of a rich, beautiful woman falling for a poor guy.

However, her family is only poor on the surface. They are just waiting for her to develop a medicine to control rice blast so that she can ask the county magistrate for a reward.

Then we'll be able to build a big house and live a good life.

"Don't worry, Miss Qian, although our family is poor now, we won't be poor forever."

Qian Baizhi took Xu Qing's hand and said, "I'm glad your family doesn't mind. I have money. Besides, I can also earn money by gathering herbs."

See, this is what love-struck thinking is all about. Just because someone helped her once, she's willing to give them her all.

Thinking of his two daughters, he knew he had to pamper them even more, lest they become as foolish as this Miss Qian in the future.

Fortunately, it was their family that we encountered.

"It's my second brother's good fortune that you've taken a liking to him. You mustn't underestimate yourself, Miss Qian."

The two chatted and talked along the way, and soon reached the top of the mountain, found the medicinal herbs they needed, and then returned to the Qian family.

He took his second brother, who looked dazed and didn't know where he was, back to the Xu family.
