Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“This was given to me by Little Hui. From now on, I’ll leave it to you to take care of, Father,” Xu Qing said calmly. In fact, even though she said that she would leave it to Xu Jiangxi, Xu Qing was still worried. After all, some things had to be taken slowly. She had already arranged a helper for Xu Jiangxi. This person was naturally also from the Dark Night Army. He was a man in his forties or fifties called Feng Hai.

Xu Jiangxi couldn’t help but tremble. “Leave everything to me?” Xu Jiangxi panicked. Could he really do it?

Qu Feng was also too shocked to speak.

Xu Qing comforted him. “Father, half of this place will be used to grow herbs. You can distribute the remaining half yourself.”

Xu Jiangxi was excited, but he also felt helpless. He was afraid that he would mess things up and implicate Xu Qing.

“Father, Mother, although I didn’t tell you everything I’m doing now, I think you guys probably sensed something. Our family won’t stay here forever, so you have to work harder to welcome our new future,” Xu Qing said in a low voice. She wouldn’t give up on Qiao Yanhui. Besides, even without him, her business was getting bigger and bigger. Her younger brothers had learned something. Sooner or later, her family would go to the capital!

Since she wanted to have a place in the capital, Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi’s current mentality definitely wasn’t good enough. They had to be prepared! She couldn’t protect them forever. Besides, she couldn’t always protect them.

When Xu Jiangxi and Qu Feng heard this, they secretly encouraged themselves and agreed to take on this job! They definitely couldn’t drag their daughter down! Slowly, they also had a right-hand man by their side!

When Xu Qing brought her parents back to the village, the villagers were noisy. Some of them even had gloating expressions on their faces.

Xu Qing knew that Xu Jiangdong’s matter had definitely been discovered. However, what surprised her the most was that Wang Xiaozi, the woman Xu Jiangdong was raising outside, was actually pregnant! Now, Xu Jiangdong had to bring her home to recuperate. If Mo Qiu didn’t agree, he would divorce her!

Mo Qiu naturally made a fuss and called her parents over. However, Xu Jiangdong was determined to bring Wang Xiaozi home to raise the baby. Otherwise, he would divorce her!

In the end, in order not to get a divorce, Mo Qiu gritted her teeth and agreed.

Due to this incident, not many people in Anning Village gossiped about Xu Qing.

Actually, Xu Qing didn’t care about this, but her family did. They even criticized the innocent children, so Xu Qing had to take action. Of course, it was definitely not that simple to completely stop the public criticism.

With the Xu family’s internal woes, Xu Qing’s side was much more peaceful. For the time being, she didn’t have to worry about the Xu family coming to ask for money again.

Speaking of which, the Xu family really didn’t have time to come and ask for money recently, because their eldest grandson, Xu Nai, had successfully married a rich lady in town.

Xu Nai’s family shamelessly bragged that they were related to Mr. Bei Shu, and the family in town believed them. After all, who hadn’t heard of Bei Shu? He owned a baby shop and a big hotel. Their business was booming, and they were friends with Mayor Wei Bo’an, so they naturally had to curry favor with them.

Xu Qing couldn’t care less about this, nor did she want to. After all, the family in town would soon know the truth. At that time, the Xu family would be in trouble again.

As for Xu Qing, she was busy again because it was the first harvest season of the herbs in the village. The villagers were very excited. Some were worried that Mr. Bei Shu would regret it and refuse to pay! Some were happy that their family was about to have a large income.

Finally, just as the village chief was about to look for Xu Qing after being nagged by the villagers every day, Mr. Bei Shu arrived. Seeing his refreshing and handsome appearance and thinking about his family business, all the women in the village were excited again.

Xu Yunqiao and Xu Dan dressed up again and tried to flirt with Mr. Bei Shu.

The corners of Xu Qing’s mouth twitched. In the end, she endured her disgust and quickly collected all the herbs in the village.

The villagers counted the money with tears in their eyes. They were so excited that they had the urge to kneel down in front of Xu Qing. In the past, they had never received more than 10,000 yuan in just a few months!

How could Xu Qing let them kneel? She hurriedly said loudly, “Don’t worry, everyone. You can continue to plant herbs. I’ll accept as many as you plant.”

Everyone became even more excited and planned to plant all their land with herbs! Those who didn’t plant herbs or only planted a little regretted it!

Xu Qing thought about how she should let Xie Pengyang collect the herbs in the future. After all, every time she came, the villagers were too enthusiastic.
