Don't be lazy!

  Yuewang County, Su Family Wine Shop.

  Leizi learned to take care of patients under Su Lianwei's guidance, especially those who had been injured. He strictly forbade the patient from moving on their own, fearing that they would tear open their wounds again. Everything was done for them, allowing them to relax and recover.

  After feeding porridge and taking medicine, many pillows were placed behind Su Hao's back to make him half-recline and half-sit. A ledger was placed on his legs for him to flip through by himself.

  "Are you Leizi?" Today, Su Hao's mental state was good, and he chatted with the shopkeeper who had taken care of him for several days. Leizi was clever and diligent, and in recent days, he had even moved directly to the wine shop, taking care of the store while also caring for his boss.

  "My name is Li Dàléi. They say I was born with a loud thunderclap, so everyone calls me Léizi."

  Su Hao couldn't help but smile slightly, "You're eloquent and agile, you'll have great prospects in the future."

  Lei Zi smiled shyly, "I'm not intentionally flattering you to serve the master, it's to repay my teacher's kindness."

  "Oh?" Su Hao became interested, "Master? Who is your master?"

  Leizi had just finished speaking, and then regretted it, covering his mouth. Seeing Dongjia's questioning, he could only blush with embarrassment. "Dongjia, don't tease me, actually... actually that Shifu is someone I unilaterally acknowledged, she doesn't know."

  Su Hao became even more interested, "Really? Who is it, tell me, what did he teach you?" Curious about who this person was, being respected by others like that.

  Leizi smiled shyly, "It was Miss Lianyi, she taught me and Su Bai vertical calculation calligraphy at that time. After learning it, I can calculate accounts without using an abacus, it's really amazing." As soon as he mentioned Miss Lianyi, Leizi's eyes were filled with admiration.

  Su Hao was slightly surprised, when did Lian Yi become so skilled?

  Just as they were talking, there was a commotion downstairs. The two of them stopped their conversation and perked up their ears to listen to what was happening downstairs.

  Right after that, the voice of the little servant downstairs said, "Madam, you can't go up. The master hasn't agreed yet. Shall I report to him and you wait for a moment?" "Madam, you really can't go up."

  "Scram, you don't know who I am? Believe it or not, I'll quit tomorrow. Those who know what's good for them should get out of here quickly." It was actually Jiang's voice.

  Su Haoming's eyes turned cold and his face darkened. He hadn't gone to settle accounts with her, but she had come here to stir up trouble instead.

  Nowadays, Lingyu's reputation outside is so bad, it's all because of this woman. Outsiders all believe it to be true, even Father and Third Brother think that Lingyu has a connection with the Second Young Master of the Li family, but he knows that this is fundamentally impossible! Lingyu has changed, she values herself, loves herself, and is very determined. Even if in the past, when Lingyu admired the Second Young Master, she really got his favor, she would never do anything improper behind Da Hu's back.

  "Master, shall we send someone to intercept them?" The master's expression was not good.

  Before Su Hao could respond, Jiang Shi broke through the obstruction and rushed forward. It wasn't that she had great strength, but as a woman, the men didn't dare to use force to stop her, especially since she kept saying she was the wife of the East House owner, the mistress of the Su family wine shop.

  "Husband, look at these people, they actually dare to block me, they must be blind not to know who I am. Husband, quickly take charge for me."

  Jiang came up, and Su Hao only discovered that today's Jiang was carefully dressed up. Whether it was his clothes or his hair, everything was new, even his eyebrows were finely drawn.

  Su Hao's heart softened a bit, Jiang Shi had always called him by his full name, when had she ever addressed him so intimately? It seemed that after such a long period of calm reflection, Jiang Shi should have already realized her mistake.

  After being married for so many years, a couple's relationship is built on a hundred days of kindness. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be too extreme either. The woman had a hard time after the divorce, and if Jiang was truly able to change her ways, Su Hao would have been willing to give her another chance. Thinking this way, his heart softened again.

  "How did you get here?" Su Hao asked.

  "Madam Chiang, of course, was being polite and courteous, but her politeness to Su Hao did not extend to these servants. She had always thought that since they were paid by her family, they were her family's slaves. 'Master, I heard you've returned, so I came especially to see you.'"

  The fellow who followed looked at Dongjia and didn't make a move, thinking to himself that he might have caused trouble, and hastily slipped downstairs.

  But the mountains and rivers are easy to change, while the nature is hard to move. The Jiang family has always been unwilling to suffer losses. With a sharp eye, she saw these partners preparing to slip away, "You stand still for me, hum, dare to block Lao Nai, now you want to leave? No way." That arrogant and domineering attitude, which is like the boss's wife? Obviously it's just a shrew.

  Several of the servants, although they knew they were in trouble, were city people who had seen the world and could go work for someone else if they didn't work here. They weren't at fault anyway, so they stood their ground and replied calmly, "Sorry madam, but the young ones just followed the rules."

  Jiang was furious upon hearing this, her nostrils flaring with rage. "What? Have you dogs grown eyes? Do you know who I am? Don't think that just because I let you go hungry..."

  Several servants snickered, this crazy woman really doesn't know her place, is she going to starve them? It's really unknown how the master found such a wife at that time, why he would find such a good-for-nothing.

  The softness in his heart that had come from not seeing him for so long instantly disappeared. Su Hao was so angry he was panting, his hand clutching the wound on his chest, which now hurt even more. "You...get out of here, don't humiliate yourself like this." His face turned even paler.

  Jiang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her fur standing on end. "Su Hao, what did you just say? Have you lost all sense of humanity? Now that you have money, you look down on me? When I married you, I gave you the best years of my life."

  "When you married into our family, the Su's had already been running a winery for many years. You, an ordinary citizen with no background or wealth, married into our family and yet you're still unhappy?" A calm and unhurried female voice slowly came from downstairs, followed by light footsteps.

  Just then a group of guys who were surrounding and laughing heard this voice, immediately stopped smiling, looked down, "Miss Su."

  Lianyi slowly went upstairs, heard the calls of his companions, and slightly nodded in response.

  She was busy in the Fairy Godmother Cosmetics Factory when a woman came running to report that she had seen Jiang going towards the county town, and it was estimated that he had gone to make trouble at the wine shop.

  Lian Yi immediately put down what she was doing and rushed over with the donkey cart, not because she was afraid of Jiang Shi, but because her brother Su Hao still had injuries on his body, and she didn't want Jiang Shi's antics to aggravate his condition.

  The entire second floor of the wine shop was silent, Su Lianwei's powerful aura made everyone dare not make a sound, lowering their heads, even that arrogant Jiang Shi, for a moment, also opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

  "Get out, all of you." Lian Wei turned her head slightly and said to the gang. Family scandals should not be made public, she did not want these people to see the joke that was the Su family.

  "Yes." The buddies and Lei Zi all went downstairs, leaving only Su Hao's siblings and Jiang Shi on the second floor.

  Jiang's face turned red and white, previously when she had clashed with Su Liangwei, not once had she gained the upper hand. Now she was also afraid, but she stubbornly said, "What business do you have meddling in my affairs with your brother?"

  Lianyi's face sank, "What are you making a fuss about? I don't care, but my brother is injured. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly and don't touch my bottom line. Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing to eat and have to leave empty-handed." To Jiang Shi, no need to be kind, there are just some people in this world who, the more face they're given, the less face they want to give.

  Jiang's face turned pale, she swallowed hard and then threw herself into Su Hao's arms, "Husband, you're not here, this Su Liu Wei bullies me every day, husband, you must stand up for me."

  Neither of the Su siblings had expected this move from Jiang, and all they heard was a muffled groan from Su Hao as his face turned pale.

  "Brother!" Lingwei exclaimed, taking a step forward and grabbing Jiang's collar, flinging him out. "Brother, are you okay? Leizi! Leizi! Quickly get the golden wound medicine and bandages!" Gone was her usual calmness, as Lingwei cried out in alarm.

  Jiang was stunned, what's going on? He looked again and saw Su Hao's face full of pain, his complexion as white as paper, cold sweat dripping, and when he looked at his chest, it was stained with a large patch of blood, how...how did this happen?

  Lei Zi reacted quickly and came up with something in his arms.

  Lianhui quickly pulled open Su Hao's collar, having prepared for the worst. If the wound was severely torn, she would immediately suture it.

  She had done this suture before, on Wang Erlang, but not on Su Hao. The reason was simple: the sanitary conditions in ancient times were too poor, and although they had saline solution and the distilled liquor she had made, they couldn't administer anti-inflammatory injections intravenously. If it could heal naturally, that would be best; suturing might lead to secondary infections.

  If it really tears apart, she will sew it up even if it means taking a risk.

  Fortunately, Su Hao's wound did not completely split open, only the place where Jiang collided with him slightly seeped blood. Liang Wei applied a large amount of golden wound medicine to him and then carefully re-bandaged it. "Lei Zi, go boil a bowl of strong red sugar water."

  In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that the body's fluids and blood are interconnected. If there is a lack of blood, then use body fluid to supplement the blood; if there is a lack of body fluid, then use blood to supplement the body fluid. Now, Su Hao is facing blood loss, so he must replenish his bodily fluids.

  The ripples disappeared, and Jiang's family was done with their nonsense. Turning back, her face turned ferocious, "I'm telling you, if my brother has any mishaps, your Jiang family will definitely be buried with him! If you want to live, hurry back home and burn incense, pray for my brother's recovery. I, Su Lianying, say it and I can do it!"

  Jiang was frightened, Su Hao got hurt? How did she not know? Why didn't anyone tell her?

  Although she was afraid, Jiang was also a shrew and since she had come, she definitely couldn't leave empty-handed. She charged over, "Su Lianwei you little slut, mind your own business, get out of our family's affairs." As she spoke, she reached out to grab Su Lianwei's hair, wanting to fight her.

  How can a rustic housewife compare to the skill of ripples? Like a thunderbolt, before anyone could react, with one hand grasping Jiang's wrist and the other slapping her face with a loud crack.

  The slap was loud and clear, not to mention the second floor of the wine shop, even the first floor could hear it clearly. Jiang was stunned by the blow. Lianyi's left hand slapped again, and Jiang was slapped with another backhand, "This is not a place for you to be arrogant, hurry up and roll, if you don't roll, don't blame me for being impolite."

  But turned around, Su Hao was concerned, "Brother, are you okay? Brother." Full of worry.

  Jiang covered her swollen face and never thought that Su Liang would hit her here, slapping her thigh and preparing to wail loudly.

  Just as Liang Wei was about to say something, Su Hao spoke up, "Jiang... Yu Fen." Jiang Yu Fen was indeed Jiang's courtesy name, and for a man to address her by both her surname and courtesy name in this manner indicated that he was extremely angry.

  Jiang was startled and stopped barking, "Husband... husband, I'm here."

  "Brother, let's talk about it later. You shouldn't get angry today, just take a rest." Lianyi said softly.

  Su Hao shook his head slightly, looking at Jiang Shi sitting on the ground. His eyes were complex, with a mix of disappointment and pity. "Jiang Yufen, you said, now the rumors about Liang Li and the second son of the Li family are spread by you?"

  It's better not to mention this, but as soon as it's mentioned, Jiang Shi gives Su Lianwei a sideways glance with a cold sneer, looking pleased with herself. "Husband, I saw it with my own eyes, this shameless little tramp was hugging and kissing men in the middle of the night, how humiliating."

  "You..." Su Hao was truly enraged this time, if previously he still struggled with some contradictions due to his kind heart and many years of marital relationship, now there was only anger and disappointment. "Jiang Yufen, how can you be so cruel? Lianhui is our sister."

  "Hmph, I wasn't blind to it, go ask that little wretch if she's had a secret meeting!" Jiang Shi glared with her eyes wide open, her mouth crooked and her chin raised in triumph, as if she had finally grasped Su Lianwei's weakness.

  Lianyi remained silent all along, as Su Hao was already weak and didn't want him to exert himself by shouting loudly, so she kept quiet beside him. Even when Jiang said those things about her, she still listened quietly.

  "Brother, are you willing to listen to me explaining?" Lingwei said.

  Su Hao nodded and his voice softened, "Lian Yi, you speak."

  "That person was not Li Yutang, but Ye Ci. I told you before, the one who had two orders of 4,000 at the Su family winery. On that day, Ye Ci came to my house with an urgent matter and specifically informed me. After the matter was resolved, I saw that it was already late and invited him and his servant to stay overnight. That night, we went out to catch cicadas, and I had no physical contact with Ye Ci, completely innocent. This matter, Da Hu can testify." Lian Hui paused, looking at Jiang Shi in a daze, "But for some reason, it became hugging and embracing in the eyes of Eldest Sister."

  "You cheap person, of course you won't admit it, but at that time I wasn't the only one who saw it, there were two others." said Jiang.

  Lianyi still didn't rush or hesitate, "Then bring all those people here, I want to ask you, which eye of yours saw me hugging Ye Ci?"

  Jiang felt uneasy because that night, the two of them really didn't have any contact. "That...that...that night was dark, maybe...maybe I saw it wrong." His voice got smaller and smaller.

  "Even if it's dark, since you didn't see clearly, why are you speaking nonsense? Do you know that this rumor can be used as evidence to take you to court?" Su Lianwei's voice was calm and even, without any anger or abnormality. This rumor had spread far and wide, how could she not investigate it? She had long known it was the doing of the Jiang family, but in the end, she still gave Su Hao a bit of face and didn't pursue it further.

  After all, Benjun's reputation has never been good, and Lianyi had long been used to it.

  Su Hao panted heavily, his face alternating between pale and red, struggling to lift his hand, visibly enraged. "Jiang Yufen, do you know... family shame should not be exposed outside, how can you tarnish... Lianyi's reputation like this? Have you ever treated her as a relative?" Already weak, and now infuriated, he spoke in broken sentences.

  Lianyi was worried and comforted in a low voice.

  "Relatives? What are relatives? Su Hao, I've been married to you for so many years, what good fortune have I enjoyed? Your family is just a bottomless pit, earning some money isn't even enough to cover the expenses of that broken household of yours. That rascal father, cheap sister and fat pig brother of yours."

  "Jiang Yufen!" Su Hao roared, his forehead bulging with rage, "Since you look down on our Su family, fine! Today I'll settle the score with you. Our humble Su family temple can't afford to accommodate a big shot like you!" Su Hao bellowed.

  "Brother, don't get excited, your wound." Lianyi didn't care about what happened to the Jiang family, she was mainly worried about Su Hao's body.

  Jiang was taken aback, although she had been making a fuss for so many years, Su Hao had always tolerated it. This was the first time he said he wanted to divorce her. She slapped her thigh and started wailing, "Su Hao, you heartless man! I married you when we were poor and now that we have money, you look down on me? Su Hao, you're a Chen Shimei!"

  Her sharp voice was very piercing, the whole wine shop, even the neighboring shops could hear it, and they all came to watch the excitement.

  Lianyi finally couldn't bear it, "Jiang, shut your mouth! What kind of virtue does your mother's family have? Isn't it just a poor peasant household? How much dowry did you bring when you married in? And how much betrothal gift did our Su family give? Our Su family may not be rich, but we've been running a winery for many years and are considered one of the top wealthy households in Suzhai Village. In the few years you've been married to us, have you worked or just idled around?"

  As far as Lianyi knows, most of the household chores are done by Su Hao.

  This Jiang is always a good-for-nothing who loves to eat and sleep, doing nothing but causing trouble.

  Jiang was left speechless, then thought of something and jumped up to quarrel with Su Lianwei, "How dare you say that, you little rascal? Didn't our family's silver all go into your family's bottomless pit?"

  "Ripples cold hum, 'This winery was passed down by my grandfather, when did it become yours? This silver is earned by my elder brother, how to distribute it is up to him, you have not contributed to the winery and have not given birth to children for my elder brother. Calling you a wife is just giving you face, if I don't give you face, I would directly scold you as a useless person who only knows how to eat. Anyone can argue, but you cannot.'"

  Su Lianwei has never been a good-tempered person, previously tolerating again and again just to give Su Hao face. As long as Su Hao didn't fire anyone, Jiang Shi would always be her elder sister-in-law, and she would also endure forever. But now that Su Hao has spoken up, then she doesn't have any scruples anymore.

  "Ripples, never mind, go get paper and pen." Su Hao was thoroughly heartbroken and didn't bother to waste any more words on this Jiang, struggling to get up.

  Lianyi gave Jiang a cold glance, this kind of person, keeping him would also be a hidden danger. She let Lei Zi help Su Hao up, and personally took the banknotes.

  Jiang was anxious and rushed up, wanting to grab him, "Su Hao, you can't treat me like this."

  Lianyi didn't even look at him and kicked Jiang's family away with one foot.

  Leizi brought a table for Su Hao, Lianyi laid out paper and dipped the pen for Su Hao. Although Su Hao was weak, his hand holding the pen was exceptionally firm, writing quickly.

  Jiang was frightened, her face pale. She had never thought it would end like this, nor that Su Hao could actually divorce her. "Su Hao, you can't do this! I, Jiang Yufen, have done everything with a clear conscience since marrying you. What right do you have..."

  Jiang's words had not yet fallen when that unhurried and gentle female voice spoke again.

  A husband may divorce his wife for seven reasons: she does not serve her parents-in-law, she has no children, she is licentious, she does not serve her brothers- and sisters-in-law, she talks too much, she steals, she is jealous, or she has a vile disease.

  You have never been filial to your father-in-law, and even when your husband spent money to support his own father, you opposed it, which is a violation of the principle of not serving one's parents. This is the first reason for divorce.

  Married to my elder brother for many years, no children, this is the second abandonment.

  often scolding and quarreling with younger sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law, violating the rule of not offending younger sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law, this is the third abandonment.

  Not yet clear and everywhere rumors that the young lady could not bear the slander, committed a fault in speech, this is the fourth discard.

  You are ferocious and good at jealousy, in the family you alone have caused trouble and lost harmony, committing the fault of jealousy, this is the fifth reason for divorce.

  "These seven outs, as long as you commit one of them, you can be dismissed and leave the door. How about you committed five? My brother didn't dismiss you, but instead of being grateful, you became more aggressive. You yourself say, should I dismiss you or not?"

  Lianyi didn't get angry, and slowly said, looking at Su Hao writing the divorce papers. The divorce papers were finished, and Jiangshi was also stunned.

  Suddenly enlightened, she knelt down with a plop, "Husband, it's my fault, I know I was wrong, please don't divorce me." Just now she had been recklessly arrogant, but now she was truly afraid, tears streaming down her face, ruining the carefully applied makeup from early morning.

  Su Hao handed the letter of resignation to Lian Wei, "Lian Wei, I've been feeling unwell lately, so I'll leave this matter to you. My mind is made up." He knew his sister would handle it well.

  Lianyi nodded, "Don't worry, brother. I'll take this to the household registration office right away."

  Jiang was thoroughly frightened, his face pale, his whole body trembling, he couldn't even stand up, and he knelt forward like this, "Husband... husband, I really know my mistake, just forgive me this time, I won't dare again, please, I..."

  Su Hao closed his eyes, unable to bear the miserable state of his wife of many years. However, he was resolute in his heart and determined to divorce her. "Jiang Yufen, do you still remember what I once said? This family, I, Su Hao, have always cherished. It's not me who doesn't cherish it, but you."

  Jiang knelt down and crawled over, nodding repeatedly, "I know I was wrong, from now on I will cherish this home."

  Su Hao smiled bitterly, "Too late." His voice was weak, but firm.

  The ripples beside her lowered her eyes. Indeed, it was too late. When one person has pierced another's heart, there is no turning back.

  Su Hao needs to rest, Lian Yi is aware that he has lost too much blood. Now the wound has reopened, and he still has to make such a decision. "Lei Zi, call someone to come up and take Jiang Shi down. Without permission, no one can step into the wine shop."

  Lei Zi had long been displeased with Jiang Shi, and as soon as he went downstairs, the few young men who were just scolded by Jiang Shi also came up. This time, they didn't care about the rules of male-female interaction, and directly dragged Jiang Shi's arms and legs to go downstairs. Each of them felt relieved in their hearts, marveling that Miss Su was indeed Miss Su, able to shut up this shrew without using dirty words.

  Everything that happened just now upstairs could be heard downstairs, and all the young men, including Manager Qiao Liu, were listening with their ears perked up.

  Jiang shouted and struggled, seeing Su Hao's determination, she also didn't care about her reputation anymore, in the first floor of the wine shop, she yelled like a pig being slaughtered, "Su Hao you scoundrel, Su Liuwei you slut, I Jiang Yufen will die here, become a vengeful spirit and won't let you off!"

  Lianyi also went downstairs, smiling slightly. "Jiang Yufen, do you know that those who die unjustly will go to hell? With your temperament, it wouldn't be surprising if you were thrown into the 18th level of hell. Do you know what awaits you in the 18th level of hell? There's the oil cauldron punishment where people are boiled alive, the knife mountain punishment where people are pushed onto sharp blades, and the skinning punishment where people are skinned alive from head to toe. Are you sure you want to become a vengeful spirit?"

  Ancient people believed in ghosts and gods, and were afraid of going to hell for punishment.

  As expected, Jiang's loud cry suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and then he let out a sharp scream again, "Even if I go to hell, I will become a vengeful spirit and take revenge on you, kill all of you, and skin the Su family alive!"

  Lianyi burst out laughing, "Jiang Yufen, do you know what a Taoist does? They specialize in catching ghosts. They have many magical tools that can drive away evil spirits and souls, never to be reborn again. Otherwise, if you become a ghost, I'll just spend some money to hire a Taoist to perform a ritual, and broaden my horizons."

  Jiang's family was completely helpless, just as Su Lianwei said, they had no power or influence, and couldn't compete with the wealthy and powerful Su family in life. In death, Su Lianwei wasn't afraid of her either... she... she...

  Several young men sneered and took advantage of Jiang's momentary distraction to throw him directly out of the wine shop.

  Jiang's face was streaked with tears as she sat stupidly at the entrance of the wine shop. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she burst into loud sobs, crying and shouting, "Fellow villagers, come quickly to judge what is right! The owner of this wine shop, Su Hao, is a scoundrel. When I, Jiang Yufen, married him, we were poor and white (i.e., without any assets). Now that they have money, they want to divorce their wife who has been with them through thick and thin. Fellow villagers, come quickly... these are not human beings..."

  Originally, there were many people who came to watch the excitement, but now that Jiang has shouted like this, even more people have come to watch.

  Surrounded by a crowd of people, watching the Su family's joke with eager eyes.

  "Sulianwei that little cheap thing, looks like a decent person, but behind her back is just a little slut. With a man at home, she's still hooking up with others outside, shaking off her foxy charm to seduce rich young masters. You see, this wine shop was opened by fooling around with wild men and getting them to pay for it! After causing trouble outside, she dares to come back home and flirt with her own brother, abandoning her sister-in-law! Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, Sulianwei you little cheap goods, do you still want to have any face? Today I'm not afraid of losing face either, I just want to let our fellow villagers see what this little cheap thing has to say for herself. And another thing, these buddies are all listening to her, who knows what kind of disgusting things they've done in private? You should admit your own shame! How many men have you warmed the bed with?"

  Jiang is just a shrew, with a very dirty mouth, scolding whatever she wants to scold, without any factual basis.

  The crowd was in an uproar, and they were also puzzled as to how this wine shop had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Could it be that what the woman said was true - that Su Lianhui had seduced a rich young master into investing in it? It was entirely possible.

  And if this woman is telling the truth... then Su's family is in big trouble! Brother and sister! This is a scandal that will be paraded on the streets!

  Lian Wei thought she would be very angry, but unexpectedly, she wasn't. Instead, she was amused by Jiang's behavior. Getting angry with someone like that would only lower her own dignity.

  With a silvery laugh, the tall and slender Su Lianyi walked out of the wine shop, her jade-like hands covering her mouth. "Jiang Yufen, are you saying that I, Su Lianyi, sold myself to a young master and used his money to open this wine shop? You're really ridiculous! Let's not even talk about how many women in the brothel have sold themselves. If selling oneself could open a shop, then wouldn't all the owners of shops in Yuewang County be courtesans?"

  Everyone burst out laughing, and Su Liang said so.

  Lianyi continued, "I seduced my brother? Jiang Yufen, you're spouting nonsense without a shred of evidence. Do you know that while alive, the court can punish your crime, and when dead, the King of Hell will pluck out your tongue?"

  "Jiang Yufen, you... are too much!" A weak voice, it was Su Hao who struggled out with the support of Lei Zi.

  Everyone was shocked to see that the owner of the Su family wine shop was very weak, pale-faced, and covered in blood on his chest.

  "Since you're all here, let's get to the bottom of things. My brother Su Hao has been traveling for business for several months for the sake of our family's winery and wine shop. Just a few days ago, he ran into rebels and barely made it back alive. This wine shop may seem like it belongs to me, Su Lianyi, but in reality, my brother did most of the work. So, this wine shop wasn't opened by me, nor was it opened with my own money."

  Everyone nodded.

  "Let me tell you, our Su family winery has a history of over 50 years, dating back to my great-grandfather's time. Perhaps you don't know, but previously, our Su family wine was exclusively sold to various wealthy households and aristocrats. If any of you have relatives in the Li household, you can ask them, the old master of the Li household has been drinking our Su family wine for over a decade, rain or shine."

  Someone in the crowd responded, "I can testify to this. In the past when Su's wine shop wasn't open yet, it was specially served to rich people."

  A faint smile appeared on her face, "After Grandfather passed away, my brother and I discussed it. Why should good wine be only for the wealthy? Why can't ordinary people like us enjoy good wine too? Making money is important, but bringing benefits to our fellow villagers is just as important, so we opened up the Su Family Wine Shop." She felt grateful to the people in the crowd.

  In fact, Su Liangwei's words were clearly boasting. In the past, it wasn't that they didn't sell wine, but rather there wasn't much wine to sell, and Su Hao wouldn't have been good at business anyway.

  It's just that bragging is something that sounds good when you say it, and everyone believes it.

  Everyone was moved by the great righteousness of Su's siblings, and they couldn't stop praising Su's wine. Some people who had never drunk it before even entered the shop, bought a pot, and took it home to taste it.

  Ripples saw that public opinion had already leaned towards them, so she walked over to support Su Hao, her face extremely moved. "As I just said, the Su family has never been poor and white. This Jiang Yufen married in for a few years and enjoyed several years of good fortune. My brother is not a traitor, on the contrary, he tolerated Jiang Yufen's mistakes everywhere."

  Jiang was shocked and immediately retorted, "How dare you! Su Lianwei, you shameless woman, spitting blood at people. When did I ever commit the seven outs?"

  Just then, a carriage sound came from the side, and several people shouted, "Make way, make way." "Trouble, excuse me."

  The crowd was forced to part ways on one road, with an old man entering under the escort of a group of village women.

  "I can attest that Su Liang's words are indeed true."

  The crowd was in an uproar, who is this person?

  Ripples rose in front of Fu Shen's body, and Su Hao on the side also struggled to move forward. "Seventh Grandfather, it's really... troubling you again, my family's affairs have caused you so much trouble."

  The old man slightly beckoned with his hand, "No need to say more, all these years, I've seen it all. Su Hao, you poor child, how hard it's been for you."

  Jiang looked at the old man and his face turned pale again, unsure of what to say.

  Lian Wei smiled slightly and said, "Let me introduce him to everyone. This is the village chief of our Suzhou Village, and also the patriarch of the Su family. He is highly respected in the village and represents authority."

  The village chief was brought here by Wu and others from the Su Lianwei faction. Today, when she was at the cosmetics factory, she had a premonition that something would go wrong. As for what kind of virtue Jiang has, it's not necessary to think about it, and he will probably spout nonsense, so she called someone to bring the village chief here.

  Now, with the village head's testimony, Jiang can no longer talk nonsense.

  The onlookers pointed at Jiang's family, coldly jeering and scolding. Sometimes public opinion is so interesting, like the grass on the wall, following the wind. From ancient times to the present, it has always been the case that everyone likes to kick a dog that has fallen into the water, human nature.

  Ripples unfolded the letter of divorce, "Seventh Grandfather, you've come at just the right time. This is the letter of divorce written by my brother. After it's been reviewed by the county office and you, we plan to give it to Jiang Yufen."

  Then, Lianyi stood before the crowd and recounted the crimes of the Jiang family that she had listed on the second floor of the wine shop earlier. She did so calmly and clearly, making sure everyone could hear and understand each word.

  Lianyi's words had just fallen when there was a burst of noise, and the crowd couldn't wait to drown Jiang Yufen with their spittle.

  The village women who came with the head of Suzhai Village couldn't help but laugh, one by one telling about the absurd things Jiang Yufen had done since arriving in Suzhai Village. They said that Jiang Yufen used to rely on her status as a merchant's wife, looking down on and offending the village women, and even colluding with Liu Shi, the wife of the village rascal Wang Erlai, doing many conscienceless things together.

  Chiang was so humiliated that he couldn't lift his head, and would have liked to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

  So many people are accusing her, she wants to pretend to be calm, but she doesn't have the capital to pretend to be calm.

  The head of the Su family village got angrier as he listened, pointing at Jiang's nose, "You, this outsider, since you came to our village, so many things have happened. Now that Su Hao has divorced you, it's just right, our Su family village no longer welcomes you, from now on, neither you nor your Jiang family should think about setting foot in our village again, otherwise, we'll beat you out with sticks."

  Jiang was thoroughly desperate, paralyzed on the ground, like a wooden chicken, with only one sentence repeating in his mouth - It's all over, it's all over, completely over.

  ……

  What happened next was very natural. First, someone was sent to the winery to bring Su Feng and Su Bai back. Then, Su Hao announced that he had divorced Jiang Shi. Su Liang personally went to the county office to let the household registration officer review it, and then this divorce certificate took effect and was thrown at Jiang Shi.

  Jiang had no choice but to go home and pack his clothes, leaving dejectedly.

  Although Jiang let Su Hao thoroughly hurt her heart, Su Hao was still kind and gave Jiang twenty taels of silver, and also sent a horse-drawn carriage to send her back.

  Now the whole county of Yuewang knows that Su's winery is not just owned by Su Liangwei, but the real boss is Su Hao, who has been traveling outside for many years and is not well-known to everyone. This male master outside and female master inside is also normal.

  At the same time, it is also known that Su Jia wine shop's young master Su Hao is dignified and straightforward, not fond of women, nor polygamous, even if he has a lot of money, he values his family.

  Ancient women weren't stupid either. Who doesn't know that monogamy is good? If there were no other options, who would want to share their husband with a group of women?

  Su Hao, such a perfect man, divorcing his wife in public, is like a piece of tender and juicy meat suddenly exposed, making a group of women drool. The matchmakers in Yuewang County are busy now, the girls' families hire matchmakers to propose marriage, at one time, it's hard to find an idle matchmaker, some even have one matchmaker receiving commissions from several families.

  It can be seen that Su Hao's stock is very good.

  Among these girls, there were poor families' daughters, business families' daughters, young ladies from humble families, and noble ladies from prominent families. Even some official's daughters had their hearts moved. Moreover, this news spread to the surrounding cities and counties, and many matchmakers from outside brought the girls' portraits to propose marriage.

  But to everyone's surprise, Su Hao didn't choose any of them, instead politely declining one by one, saying he wanted to calm down and focus on his career for a while.

  Lianyi was very moved and admired Su Hao even more for his sense of responsibility towards emotions and family.

  After Jiang's departure, Su Hao returned home to recuperate. Su Lianyi and Su Bai, along with Da Hu and others, thoroughly cleaned up the inside and outside of Su Hao's house, letting him go back to rest. Su Bai stayed behind to take care of him.

  ……

  This matter spread far and wide, naturally also reaching the ears of a certain two people who were recuperating from illness.

  Yuewang County's top-rated inn, most comfortable room. Ye Ci wiped the medicine on her face with one hand and held a boiled egg in the other, rolling it constantly on her face. After listening to Ye Huan's report, she slammed the table and exclaimed, "Lianyi did a great job, that shrew should be kicked out! What's the use of keeping that damned shrew who can't even spread rumors properly? It was obviously me, Ye Ci, who spent that night entwined with Lianyi, what does that little white face have to do with it?"

  "......" Ye Huan couldn't help but want to remind him - Young Master, have some integrity!

  "However, that shrew did remind Ben of something." Ye Ci muttered to herself.

  "Master, what's up?" Ye Huan asked curiously.

  Ye Ciyu picked up another egg and held one in each hand, rolling them against his cheeks. "Tell me, if I really spent money to buy a shop for Lian Hui, would she like me?"

  Ye Huan shook her head without hesitation, "Young Master, you'd better give up. Miss Su is a strong and independent person, she won't use your money."

  Ye Ciyu thought for a moment, and it was indeed the case. "Yes, she won't use it, just because she won't use it, I like her even more. Ah, this Su Lianying, the more I look at her, the more I think she's suitable, what should I do?"

  Ye Huan secretly rolled her eyes - Young Master, have some integrity!

  ……

  Li's family courtyard.

  Li Yutang has been recuperating for several days and hasn't gone out. Occasionally, he calculates accounts, sometimes reads books, and occasionally plays chess with Mo Dun.

  Both of them were sinister, fighting and punching each other in the face, but their strength was evenly matched. Ye Ci's nose was blue and swollen, while Li Yutang didn't fare much better, with a big panda eye on his left cheek. Coupled with his calm expression, it was quite comical.

  The whole courtyard, except for Mo Nong who didn't smile, everyone else couldn't help but want to laugh after seeing it.

  "Young master, this is how things happened." Mo Nong reported all he had heard to the young master.

  Li Yutang put down his book and lowered his eyes, as if lost in thought.

  ……

  Su Jia Village, arrived at night, gentle evening breeze.

  After dinner, very comfortable.

  The room had four lamps lit, shining brightly, as bright as daylight.

  Lianyi carefully helped Datou remove the pus from his face. After two treatments, the swelling on Datou's face had subsided a lot, some of the swellings no longer produced pus, and some still did.

  "The recovery is going well, I estimate that after two more treatments, the pus and blood should be gone." Liangliang was relieved, as the blind cat had accidentally knocked over the dead mouse, but it really did help to control the skin disease on Da Hu's face. It's just unknown whether stopping the wine-soaked medicinal mask will cause a relapse.

  The big tiger was excited, time and again wanting to stretch out his hand to grab her soft wrist.

  After draining the pus and blood, I applied an anti-inflammatory facial mask to it, the main ingredient is still saline solution, with a little bit of alcohol and some anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine.

  Lian Wei carefully smoothed out the face mask on his face, squeezing out the air bubbles. "Soon, our Su family village will have another handsome guy, hehe."

  The big tiger stared motionlessly at Su Lianwei in front of him, his eyes filled with complexity.
