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

Shijia Village.

Shijiazhuang.

Ever since Ding Guihua saw Xu Qing arrive at Shijia Village in an oxcart, she has tried every means to find out what Xu Qing was doing there.

The family didn't believe her when she said Xu Qing had bought an oxcart, since an oxcart costs several taels of silver and Xu Qing couldn't have earned that much money in such a short time.

But she clearly saw Xu Qing driving the oxcart. If it wasn't hers, how could she be driving it?

Therefore, she must find evidence to prove that what she said is true.

Finally, they found out that Xu Qing had come to see Old Shi, and that Old Shi had even worked there for a few days.

Old Shi's house-building skills are known in the surrounding villages. Could it be that Xu Qing bought an oxcart and is going to build a new house?

Many people in the village knew that Lao Shi was going to work for the Xu family this time, because Lao Shi had entrusted his adopted son to his neighbor for help in taking care of him.

Ding Guihua couldn't wait to run back and tell her mother-in-law, Ding Shi, the news she had found out.

“Mother, think about it, Xu Qing bought an oxcart and built a new house, how much money does she have?”

Our family has been spending a lot lately, and Dad's earnings aren't enough to cover our expenses. The rice has also gotten diseased, so it looks like this year's harvest will definitely be bad.

With so many mouths to feed at home, it would be better to let my second brother go and coax Xu Qing back.

"When the time comes, have Xu Qing bring the oxcart. Don't bother repairing their house; just bring all the money. Wouldn't that solve our problem?"

Ding was tempted again; how much silver would that cost!

"Are you sure? Don't make a wasted trip, your second brother isn't fully recovered yet. Forget it, even if we don't have the money, let's still do a good deed and bring her back."

That way, the second brother will have someone to serve him. Take two eggs and go to the Xu family with your younger brother.

Ding Guihua's heart was bleeding. There were still two eggs to go. There were two chickens in the house, and they only laid two eggs a day. Her mother-in-law ate one, her eldest son ate half, and her father-in-law ate half.

She works like a slave every day and still can't get an egg, so why does Xu Qing get two eggs without doing anything?

Ding Guihua's eyes lit up, and she obediently agreed. She went out, took an egg from the chicken coop, cracked it open, and ate it.

It was a bit fishy, ​​and not cooked properly tasted good, but it was still better than letting Xu Qing get away with it. Ding Guihua threw the eggshells far away and called Shi Gandang to head towards Xu Family Village.

……

Xujia Village.

Many hands make light work; the foundation for the new house has already been dug.

Xu Qing was considering what materials to use for the foundation, and Lao Shi told her that common foundation treatment methods include rammed earth foundation, lime-soil foundation, broken brick clay foundation, and wooden pile foundation.

She still preferred to use concrete, but that was obviously not feasible in this era. After much thought, she decided to have Lao Shi and the others use broken bricks to build the foundation.

A crushed brick and clay foundation is made by adding materials such as stone chips, crushed bricks, and tiles to rammed earth.

Xu Qing instructed the workers to grind the stone chips into even finer pieces. She then bought a batch of cement from the mall, claiming it was her own homemade clay, and had the workers add it to the cement and mix it with the stone chips.

Old Shi told Xu Qing what happened on the first day of work, and Xu Qing then settled the wages every day after work, and promoted the strongest man, Zhao Da, to be the foreman.

He was in charge of managing the other workers and raised their wages by 10 coins. Some of them were lazy and cheated, so he didn't ask for their wages back after settling accounts that day.

The workers' enthusiasm reached an unprecedented level, after all, their wages were settled on time and their meals were top-notch every day.

When they were preparing the broken brick clay, Ding Guihua and Shi Gandang also arrived at Xujia Village, only to find that Xujia was empty.

Upon inquiring, they learned that Xu Qing was inspecting the construction site, and his two older brothers and Wen Shi had taken the children up the mountain to find suitable timber for the house beams and pillars.

Ding Guihua immediately felt that even God was helping them. With the Xu family around, they would definitely not agree to let Xu Qing go back to the Shi family with them.

Ding Guihua and Shi Gandang quickly headed in the direction the villagers pointed out.

After the two left, the villager who had given directions quickly called over a woman he was on good terms with to go see what was going on.

Hmph, let Xu Qingxiu live in a big house, and invite the men in her family to cause her some trouble.

He had suffered a loss at Xujiashi Gandang last time, so he was somewhat reluctant to go.

But after hearing what his sister-in-law said, he mustered up his courage and followed.

Upon arriving at the Xu family's residence, and seeing the oxcart parked in the courtyard, any hesitation vanished instantly, and all I wanted to do was immediately take possession of these things.

The two quickly arrived at the place where the new house was being built. Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Shi Gandang felt dizzy.

With such a large area, how big of a house would you have to build there...?

His heart burned even hotter, and his eyes darted around, soon spotting Xu Qing talking to the workers.

Shi Gandang was somewhat stunned; he suddenly realized he didn't recognize Xu Qing anymore.

Although she was dressed in coarse cloth and looked the same, her composed and self-assured demeanor seemed to cast a faint halo around her, drawing people's attention to her involuntarily.

Shi Gandang was stunned.

Ding Guihua gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly: What a vixen, all she does is seduce men.

He nudged Shi Gandang with his elbow: "Second brother, have you forgotten why you came here? Hurry up and go!"

Shi Gandang turned around, awkwardly tugged at his clothes, and pretended to be calm as he walked towards Xu Qing.

"Qing'er."

He called out in his gentlest voice.

This was a plan he had been thinking of all night. Since the hard approach didn't work, he would try the soft approach. Xu Qing was just angry that he had divorced her, so he would just have to take the initiative to apologize.

If he can coax her back, all her things will belong to him.

Xu Qing heard a greasy and disgusting voice call "Qing'er".

He shuddered, his hair stood on end, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

She thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"Qing'er, I've been looking for you for ages. I've come here today to take you and our daughter home. I know I was wrong."

Xu Qing looked in disbelief in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Gandang walking towards her with what he thought was a very handsome smile on his face.

Xu Qing felt that not only did her ears hurt, but she also didn't want her eyes anymore; it was all so disgusting.

She stepped back, and Lao Shi and Zhao Da automatically stepped forward to block her way.

Xu Qing shuddered, covered her eyes, and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't go any further. Speak and behave normally, or don't blame me for having you thrown out."

Shi Gandang stumbled and almost fell. He steadied himself and looked at Xu Qing's disgusted expression, feeling annoyed.

Just as he was about to explode, seeing the enormous foundation, he took a deep breath and forced a smile:

"I came to pick you up and take you home. Why didn't you discuss such a big thing as repairing the house with me?"

Xu Qing was completely baffled. Was this person even speaking human language? Why couldn't she understand a single word?

What does that mean? What kind of relationship does she still have with him? Why does she need to discuss it with him?

Could it be that I shocked him too hard last time and caused brain damage?

She looked at Shi Gandang with the eyes of someone who looked down on an idiot: "Are you done talking? If you're done, hurry up and leave, don't delay our work."

Shi Gandang stepped forward again and reached out to pull Xu Qing: "Come back with me. I will never divorce you again. Mother misses you very much. They are all waiting for you to come back."
