"Second brother, do you want to divorce your second brother?" Cao Xiangnan turned his head subconsciously to look at his father and eldest brother when he heard Wang Yan's words.

The heads of the family are all here, and it is not appropriate for him, the fourth uncle, to take care

of these things, right? Cao's father, who heard this in the house, frowned and said with a sullen face, "Wang Yan, what nonsense are you talking about! I think you have hurt your brain. I will ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you to cure this disease."

"Fourth uncle, I am not talking nonsense." Wang Yan was determined to divorce her husband. She looked at her fourth uncle and pleaded, "Fourth uncle, you are the only one who can help me with this matter. I, Wang Yan, beg you, I kneel down to you."

He hated, hated the man who abused him and aborted the child in his belly, and hated everyone in the compound. It turned out that he hated his fourth uncle, and thought that his family was in such a state because of his fourth uncle. In fact, it was his husband's own fault, because he did all kinds of sneaky things, which led to his fourth uncle's hand.

In the past, he followed his husband and felt that he didn't have to do anything, and he lived a better life than anyone else. But during the days when his husband was away, it was difficult for him to live with the children alone, and he gradually understood many things that he didn't understand before.

After a long time, her husband came back. She thought that her fourth uncle had a way to make money now. He helped so many people get rich. He built roads and schools in the village. So she asked her husband to ask for a job from her fourth uncle. He could earn some money by farming and raising chickens and ducks. If she worked hard with her husband, she could live a better life.

But her husband came back after a few days. He kept cursing and talking about how harsh her fourth uncle was to her. Later, Wang Yan gradually realized that her fourth uncle was not such a bad person. Otherwise, he would not have asked people to send rice and food to his home when he was away with his children. The tuition for his children's studies was also sent by his fourth uncle.

The husband has a lame leg, so if he doesn't want to work, then he doesn't want to work. It's a bit difficult for him to support a family and raise children. After the family was divided, he had some extra money in his hands, and his life became more and more promising.

He never thought that his husband would steal his savings again and again. At first, he took only scattered copper coins, which was fine with him. He hid the remaining silver in a secret place, but he didn't expect his husband to find it. The day before yesterday, when he came back from the field, he saw his husband rummaging in the house and found the money bag he had hidden. He tried his best to snatch it back, but was beaten by his husband. His husband took the money bag and left.

What happened later became what it is now. Wang Yan knew that she couldn't live with her husband anymore. If he and his husband just divorced today, he didn't want to live like this anymore.

"No, no, no, second brother, I can't afford this." Cao Xiangnan quickly held down the person who was about to kneel down to him, and he had a headache. He wanted to slap himself twice, and told him to be a good person and do good things!

His hand was so painful from being grabbed by Wang Yan that Cao Xiangnan couldn't pull it back even if he wanted to, but at this moment he could only be patient and coax the person to let go of his hand first.

Wang Yan was not stupid either, she held him tightly and begged him with tears in her eyes.

"Second brother, this divorce is not a small matter. If you and your second brother divorce, what will happen to the children? Have you thought about it? How will you live in the future if your brother divorces? This divorce is not something you can just say and leave casually. You should think it over carefully and don't act on impulse." In fact, Cao Xiangnan also knew that his second brother was not a good person, and Wang Yan would suffer all her life with him.

Father Cao stood there and watched, feeling angry and anxious.

"I have thought it through very clearly." Wang Yan shook her head.

"Second brother, if I can help you, I will try my best to help you. If you can't do it, don't force me, okay?" Cao Xiangnan met the look Wang Yan gave him. He knew that it was a person who was at the end of his rope and wanted to survive, but he couldn't bear to force him to death. Otherwise, if something really happened, he would feel uneasy when he thought about it in the future. Therefore, he chose a compromise and his hand was released.

Seeing that his father looked unhappy, Cao Xiangnan was in no mood to pay attention to him.

"Let's go back first." He said.

The two of them helped Wang Yan up, got on the carriage waiting outside, and sent him back to the Cao family compound.

When they went back, his second brother was not there. Cao Xiangnan saw the familiar yard, which had changed a lot compared to when he was still here. Standing in the yard, he took a look, and said something to his father. Cao Xiangnan got the response and left.

He didn't really want to care about what happened later, but sometimes it wasn't that he didn't want to care about things, but things would come to him one after another.

After leaving the compound, the carriage went back home.

"Has the second brother woke up?" Qi Wanfeng asked when he saw her husband coming back.

"Yes, he woke up and was sent back to the compound." Cao Xiangnan said a few simple words. Qi Wanfeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing Shen Zhengyang teasing his son in his home, Cao Xiangnan sat down, drank a glass of water, and pulled Shen Zhengyang out.

What made him happy was that these brothers under him were really amazing. They learned how to use the spinning machine and weave cloth after just one day of trial and error. As soon as he arrived at the garment workshop, Li Mei told him about it.

Several people went in to see it.

"Well, it's not bad." Cao Xiangnan touched the woven cloth, which was no worse than the one woven by the traditional loom.

The hand-cranked wheel started to turn, and several shuttles were spinning like flying. According to this speed, when this guy gets used to it, the speed will be greatly improved, and the output will be very impressive.

Thinking of the impact brought by the industrial revolution, he didn't want to change the development of this era, so he just secretly made a little money. However, this thing must be kept secret first. Cao Xiangnan still knows that it is a crime to hold the jade in one's arms. Don't let it bring disaster to yourself. When he thought of this, he thought of Fang Ziye and the Fourth Prince. They were great backers. If the Fourth Prince became the emperor one day, Cao Xiangnan thought about it and felt that it would be best if the Fourth Prince became the emperor. Anyway, he had already boarded this pirate ship and couldn't get off. If he wanted to gamble, he would gamble big.

When he got back, he would write a letter to Fang Ziye and tell him about the spinning machine.

He told Li Mei that the things inside must be kept secret. Seeing their boss's serious look, Li Mei understood and promised to take good care of the things inside. Except for the few people who came in that day, no one else would know.

Cao Xiangnan also explained the pros and cons of this matter to Shen Zhengyang, letting him know what this thing is and what impact it will bring, so this thing should not be known to outsiders except their own people.

"Well, I understand, don't worry." Shen Zhengyang is not stupid. He knows that he will reveal all the things that Cao Xiangnan gave him, except for those that can be known to others.

The craftsmen on hand are all servants of their Shen family. Their Shen family holds the indenture of their family. If anyone dares to betray the master, no one dares to say anything even if he is beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave, and the government will not care. Therefore, ordinary servants dare not disobey the orders of their masters, let alone do things that are not good for the master's family.

Cao Xiangnan once again deeply hated the backwardness of this feudal era, where human life was as cheap as grass. However, they had no choice in this era, so he might as well go with the flow and plan to buy a few more people to come back to work. He

had agreed with Wanfeng that they would move to the town soon, and he even picked a date, which would be in the middle of this month, just a few days away. It just so happened that after moving to the town, he and Shen Zhengyang would go to Nanyang, and Wanfeng would live in the town with the children, so he would feel more at ease. Even

if they lived in the town, someone would have to look after the house in the village, the livestock in the backyard would have to be raised, and the crops grown in the fields would have to be taken care of, so it would be better for Liu Guizhong and his wife to stay in Caojia Village.

They went to live in the town but they didn't plan to stay there forever. They would stay there for a while if they liked, so they wouldn't make many changes to their home. They prepared a set of things for the house in the town. He had asked

someone to prepare a set of furniture for the house according to the ones at home. They would move in after the New Year. They could live in the house anytime. They could live there as they saw fit. They also needed to hire two servants for the house in the town. Otherwise, the yard was so big that it would be enough for them to take care of it every day. The children at home were still young and couldn't leave their parents alone, so Cao Xiangnan planned to hire two more servants. So it was decided.

After leaving the clothing workshop, they went to look at two other places and then went to the town.

When he went to the town, he still found the man who bought people last time to buy people. He picked a man who looked a little older and smart to be the housekeeper, and two young men who looked diligent and honest, so that he could buy them back to do the work. Later, he didn't see any suitable ones. In fact, Cao Xiangnan wanted to buy two strong men to look after the yard, but he didn't meet the right ones. He went to Wang Dahu to borrow two men first. There should be all kinds of people in Nanyang. When he went to Nanyang to buy a few men, he

took them to the new yard and asked the housekeeper to arrange two men to clean the house inside and outside. Then they left.

"If you want someone, bring silver to redeem him! I'll give you three days, but you can't come up with the silver... haha!"

The thugs from the casino came to the Cao family compound, brought the note that Cao Lao Er owed, and asked the people in the compound to take the silver to the casino to redeem the person. After leaving a message, they left.

His father and mother came to the door together. Cao Xiangnan went home and Wanfeng told him about this. His face darkened. Can't he just leave it alone? ! Three hundred taels! Why don't they just rob it!

By this time, Cao Xiangnan also knew that Wang Yan and Cao Laoer had quarreled because Cao Laoer had taken the little money he had saved with great effort. When Cao Xiangnan refused to give it to Cao Laoer, he beat him up. Not only did he take the money, but he also went to the casino to gamble. After losing all the money, he borrowed another 300 taels from

the casino. Is that a place that a fool like you can enter?

Not only did he lose all the money he had, but he also lost the 300 taels he borrowed. He wrote several IOUs and was detained in the casino. The casino staff came to his door with the notes and asked them to take the money to redeem him.

300 taels? Even if you sell Cao Laoer, you are not worth that much money!
