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

Xu Jian's leg has fully recovered, but his family still doesn't allow him to do heavy physical labor, only letting him cut down trees with the workers.

Working in groups of several, they could quickly cut down a tree. Xu Gong then led the workers to transport the trees down the mountain in an orderly fashion.

Wen took Xu Baobao to the mountains to search for the plants that Xu Qing had mentioned that could be used to make jelly.

Wangcai has grown a lot, and the pigpen can no longer contain it. It loves to follow Xu Baobao up the mountain to play, so it follows behind like a little shadow.

While Wen and the others searched for plants, Wangcai foraged for food in the mountains and forests on his own.

Xu Qing specially drew the appearances of the grass jelly, false groundcherry, and fairy tree so that Wen could identify them.

Recently, all the konjac plants on the mountain have been harvested, and far fewer people are going up the mountain now.

As Xu Baobao searched, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the wild grapes, which had been quite green a while ago, had ripened and turned a deep purple.

She told Wen Shi, then slung her basket over her shoulder and went to pick wild grapes. The grapes were sweet and sour, very delicious, and had an enticing aroma.

As Xu Baobao picked the grapes, she thought to herself that she could make wild grape jelly when she got back.

She picked a full basket and carried it on her back, ready to go find Wen Shi.

"Stop! If you pick all the wild grapes, what am I going to eat? Give me the wild grapes."

Hearing the sound, Xu Baobao turned around and saw Xu Dazhu, the son of Xu Wulai, glaring at her angrily.

"I found it first. There are still some on the tree. You can come and pick them when they ripen in a couple of days."

After saying that, Xu Baobao turned and left.

"what!"

The basket on his back was pulled back by a huge force.

Xu Baobao stumbled two steps, fell to the ground, and cried out in surprise. The wild grapes also poured out of the basket.

Xu Dazhu crossed his arms and said fiercely, "I'll teach you a lesson for not feeding me. You little bitch, if you dare to disobey me, I'll beat you to death."

Xu Dazhu is already 12 years old. Although he is thin, he is much taller and stronger than Xu Baobao.

Xu Baobao was a little scared and shouted loudly for Wen Shi.

"Grandma! Help!"

Wen was not far away. Hearing the shouts, she hurriedly ran towards Xu Baobao.

Wangcai, who was rolling in the mud in the woods, heard his little master's cries for help and immediately got up and rushed out.

When Xu Baobao called out to someone, Xu Dazhu was somewhat frightened, but mostly angry.

He ran forward, filled the wild grapes on the ground into his basket, and ran away quickly with the basket on his back.

Xu Baobao was both angry and anxious: "My basket, waaaah...give me back my basket."

When Ms. Wen arrived, she saw Xu Baobao sitting on the ground wiping away tears.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Ms. Wen hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Baobao up and patted the dirt and leaves off her body.

Wangcai also ran to Xu Baobao's side and sniffed the ground frantically. It smelled the scent of a stranger mixed with the scent of its little master. It must be that person who bullied its little master.

Wangcai's aura changed, and it chased after the unfamiliar scent.

Wen assumed that Wangcai had gone off to play somewhere again and that it would come back on its own, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

Xu Baobao stood up with Wen's help, and said through tears:

"Grandma, Xu Dazhu stole my wild grapes and pushed me. All these wild grapes are broken. I wanted to take them back to make wild grape jelly for Mom."

"And she even took my basket! It was a little basket that my uncle made especially for me based on my height, sob sob sob..."

Ms. Wen lovingly checked Xu Baobao for any injuries, comforting her as she said:

"If he wants it, just give it to him. When there are no adults around, you need to protect yourself first, okay? Grandma will take you to get an explanation."

Seeing that Xu Baobao was not injured, Madam Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still angry. She took Xu Baobao's hand and went to find the Xu brothers, Xu Jian and Xu Gong.

The two were furious when they heard that their niece had been bullied. Last time, that scoundrel Xu had made outrageous remarks and insulted their younger sister, and now his son had come to bully their niece again.

It's simply too much!

"Let's go. If Xu Wulai doesn't give us an explanation today, we'll chop him up."

The two immediately grabbed the axe for chopping down trees and, led by Wen, headed towards Xu Wulai's house.

Meanwhile, Xu Dazhu, after snatching Xu Baobao's wild grapes, hid on a deserted path and happily began to eat them.

Each bite is sweet, sour, and juicy.

"It's delicious. Looks like I can find food by following that girl around. I'll go again next time, hehe."

Xu Wulai was idle all day long, his family was poor, and sometimes they didn't know where their next meal would come from. His wife couldn't stand it and ran away.

They abandoned Xu Dazhu and Xu Wulai to depend on each other for survival. Xu Wulai had no money, and Xu Dazhu often went hungry as well. Wild fruits from the mountain were his few snacks.

Therefore, when he saw Xu Baobao had picked a whole basket full of wild grapes, he couldn't help but snatch them away.

He was enjoying his meal when suddenly a dark shadow darted out of the bushes and hurtled straight toward him.

Xu Dazhu was so engrossed in the delicious wild grapes that he didn't react in time and was knocked over.

"Ouch, what is that?! It hurts so much..."

Wangcai wasn't satisfied yet; the wild grapes had the scent of his young master, and the basket on his back also belonged to his young master.

This must be my little master's stuff. How dare you steal my little master's things after bullying her?

Wangcai turned around, aimed at Xu Dazhu lying on the ground, rubbed its hind hooves hard on the ground, and then shot out like a cannonball.

Xu Dazhu had just managed to sit up when he was knocked to the ground again before he could even see what had hit him.

This time, however, he saw it clearly—it was a wild boar! Although it wasn't very big, it already had tusks...

"Oh my god! Help!"

Ignoring the pain in his body and the wild grapes on the ground, Xu Dazhu quickly got up, grabbed his basket, and ran down the mountain.

Seeing the enemy flee in disarray, Wangcai grunted and picked up the wild grapes on the ground and ate them. Only then did he happily wag his pig tail and go find his little master.

Xu Dazhu had just fled home when Xu Jian, Xu Gong, and Wen Shi arrived in a huff.

"Open the door, you scoundrel Xu! I know you're home, open the door now!"

The Wen family pounded on the door with a deafening roar.

The neighbors heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. It was quite a strange thing that someone was actually looking for Xu Wulai.

Upon seeing that it was Xu Qing's mother and brother, they immediately became somewhat frightened and shrank back into the house, only sticking their heads out to watch the gossip.

They remembered the day Xu Qing cast a spell on Ding Guihua; it was terrifying.

They would avoid Xu Qing's family whenever they saw them, yet this scoundrel dared to provoke them; he was truly brave.

Xu Wulai came out of the house shouting.

"What are you doing? Disturbing my peaceful sleep in broad daylight! I was dreaming about eating roast chicken, and you woke me up. You have to buy me a roast chicken!"

"Your skin is thicker than a city wall. I even paid you back with roast chicken. Where's your son? Call him out here."

“He had the nerve to steal my granddaughter’s wild grapes and even hit her. Look at his palms, they’re all red from the fall.”

Wen's voice was louder than that rogue's, and he spat all over his face.

Xu Wulai wiped his face and said nonchalantly, "You say you stole it, but I could say your granddaughter stole my son."

"Alright, nothing serious happened. Go back now, I'm still sleepy and need to sleep a little longer."

He said that the kid rushed back and hid inside because he had wild grapes to eat.

He also needs to eat something; he hasn't had any in a long time, and just thinking about it makes his mouth water.

"Bang!"

Xu Jian, in a fit of rage, chopped the gate of Xu Wulai's house with an axe.

The already rickety wooden door suddenly split in two, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Fine, what right do you have to destroy my gate? Pay up! If you don't pay me two taels of silver today, I'm going to sue the village chief and ask him to judge this matter."

Xu Wulai said angrily, but then he was overjoyed at the thought of extorting two taels of silver from the Xu family.

The neighbors who were watching the commotion huddled inside the house and joked, "You scoundrel Xu, you still dare to make Xu Qing's older brother pay you money. Be careful, when Xu Qing comes back later, she'll get struck by lightning too."
