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

Xu Qing looked at her family and her heart softened.

Wen walked quickly to Xu Qing's side and examined him from head to toe.

After confirming that everything was alright, she said with a hint of reproach, "You silly girl, why did you come here all by yourself? You almost scared your mother to death!"

Xu Qing leaned obediently against Wen Shi and said ingratiatingly, "I'm fine, Mother. But why are there so many of you? Where did this big wooden stake come from?"

Wen glared at Xu Qing and replied, "I didn't see anyone when I got back. Hui Niang said you went out."

I guessed you were coming to Shijiazhuang, so I quickly went to find your brothers and asked them to come and pick you up.

When Zhao Da saw that I was in a hurry, he asked me what had happened. After hearing the story, he insisted on bringing the workers to support me.

"Let me tell you, they meant well, so we still have to pay them their wages today."

Xu Qing couldn't possibly refuse. Everyone was so enthusiastic; how could she possibly disappoint them?

Seeing that they ignored everyone else and didn't take them seriously at all, Old Man Shi was furious.

"Mrs. Wen! Don't try to act tough just because you're old. You broke my front door and knocked my daughter-in-law unconscious. You're not leaving this house today without paying compensation."

Her family came to pick her up, and since both Ding Shi and Ding Guihua had learned their lesson, Xu Qing didn't want to waste any more words with the Shi family.

"That's all you can say. You don't even have a door to your house. We can leave whenever we want. Can you stop us?"

"There's no way we'll lose money. If you're not happy about it, go down there and keep that old woman Ding company, so she won't be lonely down there."

Old Man Shi was trembling with anger. To make matters worse, his eldest son suddenly collapsed to the ground, his second son was so frightened that he wet his pants and curled up in a ball, and his third son just stood there like a fool.

Of the entire family, he was the only good person standing here.

"Mother, eldest brother, second brother, let's go."

Xu Qing took her family members' hands and walked outside.

Old Man Shi roared at the villagers who had gathered to watch the commotion: "Are you just going to stand by and watch these outsiders bully the people of Shijia Village like this? Why aren't you stopping them!"

Hearing this, even though Old Man Shi usually acted arrogantly, the villagers felt they couldn't lose face in front of outsiders.

They gathered together and blocked the road outside the door.

"Qing girl, although there's nothing wrong with the food you cooked, you're still partly responsible. Why don't you just pay less money?"

Xu Qing's eyes turned cold as he said to Zhao Da, "Since they won't give way, let's just ram them through and see who can withstand this big wooden stake."

Zhao Dazhi agreed in a deep voice, and led the twenty-odd burly men guarding outside the door, raising the large wooden stake in his hand.

With a hint of excitement, the group worked together to swing the large wooden stake high into the air, sending it hurtling straight toward the villagers.

The villagers dared not resist, as it was not worth getting injured for Old Man Shi. They screamed and scattered in all directions.

"Hahahaha, I thought the people of Shijia Village were tough as nails. They've already disappeared before we even got close."

Xu Jian's laughter made the villagers blush.

Xu Qing called to his mother, brother, and the workers, and they boarded the oxcart and returned to Xujia Village in a grand procession.

When Mr. Wen arrived, he also brought two oxcarts used for transporting bricks and tiles from the construction site.

There were so many people when we arrived, it was incredibly crowded. But when we left, there was an extra car, so we got back easily.

When they returned to the Xu family home, it was already dark. Hui Niang had already prepared dinner. Before leaving, Wen Shi had instructed her to prepare dinner for the workers as well.

After everyone finished eating, Xu Qing thanked the workers who had helped him that day, especially Zhao Dazhi.

The menacing-looking men in Shijia Village seemed somewhat shy in front of Xu Qing.

"Boss, you've been so good to us, it's only right that we repay you."

"Yes, they feed us white flour buns and rice every few days, not to mention pork and eggs. They also pay us on time. You can't find anyone better than us even if you search with a lantern."

Xu Qing knew that no amount of words of thanks could compare to something truly inspiring.

Since today's wages hadn't been paid yet, Xu Qing started distributing wages to everyone.

Each person received an extra 30 coins.

When the workers received their wages, they stared wide-eyed at Xu Qing in disbelief.

"Boss, did you miscount? We didn't work this afternoon, and we even had a free meal at your house tonight. How come our wages are so much higher than expected!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "No, this is what you deserve."

Hearing Xu Qing's words, the workers stopped being polite and secretly vowed that next time their employer encountered difficulties, they would rush to help!

After receiving their wages, everyone went home. Xu Qing quietly pulled Zhao Dazhi aside and slipped him an extra 30 coins.

Zhao Dazhi immediately became anxious: "Boss, what are you doing? Hasn't it already been given to you?!"

Xu Qing said softly, "This is just for you. My mother told me that if you hadn't taken the lead, they probably wouldn't have come. Thank you."

The workers on the construction site all looked up to Zhao Dazhi, not only because he was the strongest, but also because he was the most loyal.

Today in Shijia Village, Zhao Dazhi was also at the forefront, so it's only right to give him an extra 30 coins.

Zhao Da scratched his head, still refusing to accept the money: "Boss, you've already paid me more than others, how can I ask for more money from you?"

The meals you prepare for us every day are already very good, and you even let me take some leftovers back to my family. I am so grateful to you.

There are many expenses involved in repairing the house, so you should keep this.

Xu Qing said with a straight face: "Just accept it when I tell you to. I was just afraid you wouldn't give it to me in person. You're a good person, but you're too stubborn."

Zhao Dazhi wasn't annoyed at all after being scolded. Seeing that Xu Qing insisted, he accepted the gift with a silly smile, thanked her, and went home.

After seeing all the workers off, Xu Qing started making milk tea.

Besides the ones she'll be sending to town tomorrow, she plans to make more and try sending them to other towns.

Although Manager Chen said that Zuifenglou has chain stores in other towns.

However, a town cannot have only one restaurant, Zuifenglou; other restaurants are also Xu Qing's target customers.

Hui Niang came to help on her own initiative. Wen Shi felt sorry for her daughter and glanced at her two sons.

Xu Gong and Xu Zhenzhen sat together listening to Zhou Chenggong's lecture.

Xu Baobao was injured and is resting in her room, so she didn't come to class today.

Xu Jian had finished eating and was slumped in a chair to rest.

Wen raised her eyebrows: "What are you sitting there for? Go help your little sister with some work, and I'll give you the money for free."

Xu Jian jumped up from his chair with a start: "Little sister, just tell me what you need. I didn't mean to slack off, I just ate too much..."

Xu Qing gave Wen a reproachful look: "Mother, my elder brother is tired from building houses and working all day, let him rest for a while."

Before Wen could speak, Xu Jian interjected, "Not tired at all, little sister, I just ate too much and that's why I lay down for a while."

"You've worked so hard today, just stand by and guide me, Hui Niang and I will do the work."

Xu Qing had no choice but to squeeze the three of them into the small kitchen to start working.

……

After Xu Qing's family left, Old Man Shi went inside to check on his three grandsons.

At first, he thought Ding Guihua was lying to Xu Qing because she wanted money, saying that her grandson had died, since they had all eaten and were just feeling a little unwell.

The old woman was old and already ill, so it's understandable that she passed away.

To his surprise, his three grandsons actually...

The second son's family only has two money-losing children, and the third son is not yet married. The family only has these three precious darlings.

Now that they've all perished, isn't this making the Shi family line end?

"Xu Qing! I will never forgive you!"

Old Man Shi was filled with hatred. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
