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

When Old Man Shi saw his eldest son suddenly collapse to the ground, he looked at Xu Qing with suspicion and uncertainty. The doctor was still taking his pulse, so he dared not make any move.

The doctor took the pulse intently for a moment, then frowned: "This pulse doesn't indicate poisoning. Have you had enough fun yet? Or are you just trying to avoid paying the consultation fee?"

Hearing the doctor say he was alright, Old Man Shi finally felt relieved.

The fate of her three grandsons is unknown. If the old woman is dead, so be it. She was just a burden to them anyway.

He couldn't let Xu Qing get away so easily; he had to skin her alive. At least the old woman wouldn't have died in vain.

Old Man Shi frowned and said, "Everyone is in this situation because they ate your cooking. Xu Qing, you have to take responsibility."

Xu Qing spread his hands: "Everyone in the village ate it, so how can it be that there's something wrong with the food I cooked? Don't make baseless accusations."

Otherwise, we should go to the village now and ask around to see if anyone else is alright. Besides, the doctor has already examined you; you haven't been poisoned.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing slipped a small piece of silver into the doctor's hand: "Doctor, this is the consultation fee. Please take a look at other people as well, so that they can prove my innocence."

The doctor cursed his bad luck, wondering what kind of trouble he was encountering!

Since we've already come all this way, we can't leave empty-handed. We accepted the silver and then took the pulses of the eldest, second, and third sons of the Shi family, one by one.

The conclusion was that their stomach discomfort was likely caused by their usual poor diet followed by a sudden influx of rich food, which their digestive systems couldn't adapt to.

Old Man Shi persisted, saying, "Who knows if you two are in cahoots? No way, you're not leaving until you take responsibility today."

The doctor felt that this group of people was unreasonable and turned to leave in anger, but Old Man Shi stopped him.

At this moment, Ding Guihua finally recovered from the grief of losing her son, and she rushed out of the house.

She knew Xu Qing was right, because she had also eaten the food Xu Qing had cooked, and she had no problems.

She couldn't allow Xu Qing to leave like this; she had to at least compensate her.

She yelled at Xu Qing like a madwoman: "If you hadn't made so many delicious foods, my son wouldn't have died from overeating."

"Father-in-law is right. You must take responsibility. I've lost all three of my sons. Each son must pay me at least 300 taels! Otherwise, I'll make you pay for my sons' deaths!"

Ding Guihua's shouts attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, who all craned their necks to see what commotion was taking place in the Shi family's courtyard.

Xu Qing chuckled and turned to the villagers outside the courtyard, saying, "Perfect! Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. Did any of you feel unwell after eating the food I cooked?"

The villagers licked their lips and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Xu Qing: "Everyone ate the food I made without any problems, but four people in their family died after eating it. The doctor examined them and proved that it wasn't a problem with the food, but they are still blaming me and demanding that I pay them 300 taels of silver each."

Upon hearing that someone had died, the villagers immediately erupted in uproar.

"What?! Someone's dead?"

"Who died..."

"Could there really be something wrong with this food?!"

"I should be fine, right? I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere..."

"I don't have any, and neither does my child."

"Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities immediately!"

"Yes, yes, report it to the authorities. Someone has died, what are we waiting for if we don't report it to the authorities?"

Ding Guihua quickly said, "We can't report her to the authorities. As long as she pays compensation, our family will forgive her."

Xu Qing: "You said I killed your family members, so why didn't you report it to the authorities? Is there something fishy going on?"

Some of the villagers could understand Ding Guihua; the person was already dead, and reporting it to the authorities wouldn't bring her back to life, so they might as well ask for some money.

At least the living can still enjoy it, but once you report it to the authorities, you lose everything.

But Xu Qing was right, and everyone looked at Ding Guihua with confusion.

Xu Qing continued, "It's impossible for me to ask for money. You can report me to the authorities if you want. Anyway, the innocent are innocent, and this doctor can also testify to my innocence. I'm not afraid to report you to the authorities."

The villagers then noticed a stranger in the yard, and some of them who had been to town recognized him.

"Isn't this Dr. Ji from Jishetang? Jishetang is the largest clinic in town, and Dr. Ji is highly skilled. It seems this matter really has nothing to do with Xu Qing."

Seeing that he had been recognized, Doctor Ji snorted coldly at Old Man Shi:

"Did you hear that? Get out of the way. What reason would I have to collude with her if it weren't for this woman's desperate pleas?"

Plus, the agreed-upon consultation fee was quite high, so I didn't even want to come. Who knew I'd run into this mess? I'm so unlucky.

Upon hearing Doctor Ji's words, the villagers understood that the Shi family was deliberately framing Xu Qing in order to frame him.

They all looked at the Shi family with schadenfreude.

The Shi family usually acted superior. This was because they lived in a brick and tile house, and Old Man Shi was a craftsman.

Now that everyone can finally see the Shi family make a fool of themselves, they are overjoyed and feel a sense of relief.

Old Man Shi gritted his teeth, refusing to budge an inch, and slammed the courtyard gate shut, saying through gritted teeth, "Anyway, if Xu Qing doesn't come up with the money today, nobody's leaving this gate!"

The villagers were stunned by Old Man Shi's shameless behavior.

Ding Guihua also blocked the entrance: "Father-in-law is right."

Since Xu Qing has already been offended, she is unlikely to come back. If she can't get the money today, her life in the Shi family will only get worse.

After all, Xu Qing was someone she brought back, and her son... She's still young. If her son is gone, she can have another one. As long as she has money, she can have anything.

Xu Qing considered whether to take out the anesthetic again and spray it on the Shi family members, too lazy to waste any more words arguing with them.

However, this makes things easier for them, since seeing them beg for mercy in pain is the only way to soothe the anger they feel from the baby's injury.

After much deliberation, Xu Qing decided to first anesthetize them, then make them infertile. This way, they would live in misery for the rest of their lives.

Just think about it and be happy.

Don't blame her for being ruthless; no one in the Shi family was innocent of the suffering the original owner endured in this family.

Even after she left the Shi family with her daughter, these people still wouldn't let them go, so she can't blame them.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a banging sound coming from outside the door.

Xu Qing put the anesthetic back into the shopping cart.

"Boom."

Dust flew high, and the Shi family's courtyard gate collapsed to the ground, smashed to pieces.

Ding Guihua was unable to dodge in time and was also knocked away, falling to the ground unconscious.

"Little sister! Are you alright?"

Xu Jian and Xu Gong asked in unison.

Looking at her two older brothers, who were sweating profusely with anxiety, Xu Qing's violent impulse subsided somewhat.

He replied with a smile, "It's nothing, eldest brother, second brother, what brings you here?"

As the dust settled, the Shi family members could finally see that there were more than twenty strong young men standing outside the door, each with a fierce look on their faces, and each carrying a large wooden stake.

The Shi family members, who had been so aggressive just moments before, suddenly felt their legs go weak.

Old Man Shi forced himself to say, "What are you doing! This is breaking and entering a private residence! Is there no law anymore?"

Wen stepped forward from behind more than twenty men and said sternly, "The law? I want to ask the Shi family, what are your intentions in locking my daughter up in your house?"
