Chapter 49: Medicinal Herbs for Money

In the end, under Old Master Xu’s pressure and for the sake of Fifth Brother’s future, Chen Qiulian finally took off the jade bracelet reluctantly. However, she even wanted to smash the bracelet. In the end, Xu Qing said, “If the bracelet shatters, I’ll let the people in the surrounding villages take a good look and see that the Xu family is a wolf’s den, so they can’t marry into the Xu family!”

Chen Qiulian was so frightened that she didn’t dare to smash it.

Xu Qing carefully handed the jade bracelet to Qu Feng. Qu Feng hugged the jade bracelet and cried.

After Xu Zhi finished writing the document, Xu Jiangxi pressed his finger down with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he had really given up on the Xu family. In the future, only living with his wife and children was enough for him!

Afraid that Xu Qing and her family would regret it, Chen Qiulian anxiously urged Old Master Xu to press his fingerprint. This made Xu Jiangxi feel even more disappointed.

Old Master Xu planned to get the village chief to stamp it and then inform the clan. Of course, he would definitely say that Xu Jiangxi didn’t want to burden them and asked to leave. This way, their family’s reputation wouldn’t be affected.

Xu Qing looked at the document in her hand and felt relieved. She had finally resolved a big problem and didn’t have to worry about being disgusted by them in the future.

After Old Master Xu and the others left, Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi were all in low spirits. Only the three children were in high spirits. They didn’t know what it meant to leave the family. They only knew that they wouldn’t have to worry about being beaten up or bullied by their siblings in the future, much less worry about eating less and cooking more.

“Father, it’s fine if we leave. My siblings can eat and sleep better.” Xu Qing looked at the depressed Xu Jiangxi. If he still couldn’t come to his senses, she really wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.

Xu Jiangxi looked at the three children who weren’t sad and thought of his body. His eyes turned red and he said dejectedly, “Little Qing, I’m useless. I can’t let you guys live a good life. Now that we’ve left the familt and I’ve become a cripple, what will happen to you guys in the future?!”

Qu Feng’s face was filled with tears. She was very happy about leaving the family, but she was really sad for her husband. The Xu family actually didn’t give them a single piece of land or house. How could they live?!

Xu Qing was afraid that her parents would worry too much, so she hurriedly said, “Father, who said that you’re a cripple? Your leg is fine. When your wound recovers, you can leave. You can do whatever you want.”

Xu Jiangxi looked at Xu Qing in disbelief. “Don’t comfort me. I’m afraid I’ll only be able to lie in bed for the rest of my life.” His leg had been injured by the black bear’s sharp claws, so it was already lucky for him to survive.

“Your injuries are fine. You’ll recover after some time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Uncle Gong. He’s a doctor. If you don’t believe me, don’t you believe his words?” Xu Qing continued to comfort her.

Xu Jiangxi was instantly excited. He looked at Qu Feng with anticipation. Qu Feng also nodded. Xu Jiangxi was instantly moved to tears. He wasn’t a cripple. He could still take care of his wife and children!

Looking at the crying Xu Jiangxi, Xu Qing sighed softly. Other than being foolishly stubborn in fulfilling filial piety, this man was good at everything. But now, that filial piety should be gone.

When Uncle Gong came over, Xu Jiangxi confirmed again that he was really fine and heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Qing thought of the herbs she had brought and gestured that she had something to say to Uncle Gong. The two of them left the backyard.

“Uncle Gong, my father and the others are going to live here for another month. Of course, we won’t live here for free.” Xu Qing didn’t want to owe them too many favors.

“It’s okay. Since you’re someone approved by the divine doctor, I’ll naturally help you unconditionally,” Uncle Gong said with a smile. He had already sent someone to confirm with the divine doctor, but he had yet to receive an answer. If she was really someone the divine doctor had instructed to take care of, there was no reason for him not to take care of Xu Qing.

“The divine doctor is the divine doctor, and I’m me. I won’t take advantage of others. It’s better for us to make things clearly.” Xu Qing said as she took out two herbs from her backpack. “You can deduct the fees my family spent during this period of time from these two herbs. Can you convert the rest into cash for me now?” She was really short of money.

Uncle Gong took the two undamaged herbs and revealed a shocked expression. “Where did you get them?” Although he said that, Gong Jingzhang felt amused inside. This girl was really calculative. She didn’t take advantage of anyone and definitely didn’t let anyone take advantage of her.

Xu Qing smiled lightly. “I know a little about herbs. I saw them on the mountain and wanted to exchange them for some money.”

Xu Qing’s words made Gong Jingzhang a little suspicious. Even if she recognized the herbs, she might not be able to nurture them so well, right? It had to be known that many herbs required attention to the process of nurturing. If there was even a slight mistake, this medicine couldn’t be used! This village girl was indeed quite special.
