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

When they got home, Wen saw Xu Gong's silly face and couldn't help but slap him.

"what happened?"

Remembering Old Man Qian's words, Xu Gong blushed and asked, "Mother, can I marry into your family?"

Wen touched Xu Gong's forehead: "You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Gong removed Wen's hand: "I was taking my little sister to Doctor Qian's house, and Doctor Qian said that Miss Baizhi likes me and asked if I would like to marry her..."

I'm thinking that with our family's circumstances, if we marry someone, we won't even have a place to sleep. I might as well become an adopted son-in-law.

Anyway, we still have my older brother. Mom will work hard to earn money to help him find a wife, and our Xu family will have descendants. I'll also help my brother out.”

Mrs. Wen was speechless; her second son was thinking quite far ahead.

"Can't you be a little more sensible? Raising a son is like inviting a debt! I'd be ashamed if you went to marry into the family with someone like this."

Aside from being a little healthier, I'm pretty much lacking in everything. My health only improved after your younger sister came back and started feeding you all well.

Xu Qing watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh. What a loving mother! She dislikes her own son so much.

However, for the sake of her second brother's happiness, she still had to help: "Second brother, once I've finished making this medicine, our family will have the money to help you get married."

Xu Gong asked curiously, "What's the use of this? Why does it bring me a rich girl when it's paired with something?"

Xu Qing explained her thoughts, but she said that the county magistrate would give a reward.

Xu Gong asked curiously, "When did you learn about these things?"

Xu Qing said, "I heard it from the old people when I was selling roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in town. They've been wise for a long time. You can ask your mother if you don't believe me."

Wen nodded vigorously in agreement.

Xu Gong was skeptical. Since his younger sister returned from the Shi family, she had changed a lot. If she didn't still look the same, he would have thought she was a completely different person.

However, he prefers his current younger sister; his previous younger sister was too weak and was always bullied.

During dinner, the one-armed beggar felt he was alright and decided to leave the next day, which made Xu Zhenzhen very reluctant to part with him.

Xu Qing comforted her and promised to take Xu Zhenzhen to town every day so that she could bring her meals. Only then did the little girl smile.

After the meal, Xu Qing called Zhou Chenggong over. She threw the herbs she had brought back into a pot to boil, and asked Zhou Chenggong to take notes.

Zhou Chenggong was very perfunctory, but Xu Qing said seriously, "This medicine is for saving sick rice. Your father has been very worried about this lately. If we can find a solution, wouldn't that be relieving your father's worries?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chenggong began to take it seriously, recording in great detail how much of each medicinal herb was used and how long it was boiled.

After the herbal decoction was prepared, Xu Qing faced another problem: without a test subject, he didn't know how effective it would be.

She packed the herbal medicine into a ceramic jar, put it in her shopping cart, and planned to go to the diseased village the next day to find some rice plants to try.

The next day, Xu Qing still took Xu Beibei and Wen Shi to town to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and jelly.

Before leaving, Xu Qing instructed Xu Gong to accept any black lumps and fern root powder that were brought to him.

Xu Gong nodded in agreement.

Now that they were making jelly, Xu Gong took the children to pick jasmine while he went up the mountain to chop firewood, without worrying about encountering any danger.

Even after Xu Qing set up her stall, business remained booming, especially with her jelly, which was very popular with children.

Some young girls also love to eat them. I made 200 today, and they were all sold out instantly. Those who couldn't get any sighed.

"Boss, please make more tomorrow. I've come two days in a row and haven't been able to buy any. I haven't been able to explain this to my wife."

Xu Qing smiled and agreed, then served the customer a cup of soy milk, after which the customer left with a smile.

Ding Guihua, with Shi Gandang watching from a distance, said, "Second brother, look carefully. When you get back, you must tell Mother that I didn't lie to you."

Shi Gandang remained silent, his face dark. Just as his mother had said, he was an ungrateful wretch, a worthless burden.

It seems we really need to find a way to call her back. These things are all his; if that woman comes back, he won't have to go with his father to break stones anymore.

That job was too tiring, and he couldn't handle it anymore. Besides, since his mother became paralyzed, he had to wash his own clothes.

Shi Gandang stormed off, and Ding Guihua followed him, covering her mouth.

She's waiting to see Xu Qing come back and suffer, to see if she'll still be able to smile.

The street where Xu Qing set up his stall was very lively, and there were also many shops. A restaurant owner had been watching Xu Qing for a long time.

Seeing that her stall business was getting better and better, especially her jelly, which was becoming a sensation throughout the town.

Customers who ate at his shop would discuss how delicious the jelly was. He saw that Xu Qing was about to close up shop before he went over to him.

"Hello, I am Manager Chen from the Drunken Wind Pavilion up ahead. Madam, would you like to sell your jelly recipe? I am willing to offer 5 taels of silver."

Manager Chen felt that his price was very reasonable; five taels of silver. How many jellies would this person have to sell to make back that amount?

Xu Qing: "Sorry, I'm not selling."

Shopkeeper Chen thought he had misheard and asked uncertainly, "Five taels of silver! Did you hear me clearly?"

Xu Qing: "Listen carefully, it's definitely not for sale."

She sells jelly for 3 coins each, and the jelly is free. It's just a little sugar and fruit. She buys these things very cheaply in the mall, so the cost is almost zero.

Moreover, business is so good now that even 200 a day isn't enough to sell. She can earn 5 taels of silver in just a few days. She must be crazy to sell them.

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly raised the price: "Ten taels."

He had promised his customers that his shop would serve jelly; if he couldn't keep his word, wouldn't he lose credibility and how could he continue operating his shop?

This jelly sells so well; if his shop could add it, his business would take off even further.

Xu Qing: "Thank you, but we really don't sell. Please make way, we have something to do and need to leave."

Xu Qing and Wen Shi tried to walk around Manager Chen and leave, which made Manager Chen really anxious.

"Don't rush me, just name your price, I'm here to talk to you sincerely."

Madam Wen tugged at Xu Qing's sleeve, turned her back and whispered, "Girl, why don't we sell it to him? Anyway, we can keep selling it after we sell it to him. This money isn't free, is it?"

Xu Qing replied in a low voice, "Mother, they run a restaurant. You can get a meal for 3 coins in a restaurant. Do you think any customers would spend 3 coins to eat at our street stall?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Ms. Wen realized that this made sense, so she stopped talking and let her daughter make her decision.

Seeing the mother and daughter whispering to each other, Manager Chen thought there was hope and continued, "Why don't we come to my shop and have a proper talk? The price is negotiable."

Xu Qing straightened up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Manager Chen. I really can't sell the recipe, but if you want to sell it in your shop, I can supply you with the goods. What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Then you're not going to sell jelly anymore?"

Xu Qing: "Yes, I'm not selling them anymore. I'll only sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). But if I supply you, it will cost 3 wen per serving."

Manager Chen readily agreed, saying that people who come to his shop to eat are not short of money, and he would sell it for 6 coins.

They agreed to send 200 portions over the next morning, and Manager Chen gave a deposit of 200 coins.

Xu Qing and Wen set off to take the oxcart. It was still early, and Xu Jianguo was still waiting for someone.

Xu Qing gave him 20 coins and hired a car to go to the village next to Qianjia Village.

She's going to try and see if the herbal soup she brewed last night has any effect.
