Hearing Zhao Bin's words, Feng Xuehua's tears fell even more fiercely.

"Auntie, don't believe what this person says!" Ye Qing said urgently, "He's just a scammer, can't you see through him?"

Feng Xuehua did not reply, but walked up to Zhao Bin and gently stroked his face with her hand.

Zhao Bin was extremely excited, grasped Feng Xuehua's hand, and said, "Xuehua, I know, I just know that you still love me. Xuehua, let's go, let's go home!"

Suddenly, Feng Xuehua broke free from Zhao Bin's grip and shook her head, "No!"

"No? Why... why not?" Zhao Bin pressed urgently.

Feng Xuehua said, "Zhao Bin, let's get a divorce."

This statement stunned not only Zhao Bin but also Ye Qing and Da Fei. They thought that Feng Xuehua had been persuaded by Zhao Bin, but to their surprise, she uttered these words.

"Why? Why? Why do you want to divorce me? You know I love you!" Zhao Bin insisted desperately.

"Zhao Bin, I'm not a fool. Whether you love me or not, I can tell!" Feng Xuehua slowly shook her head and said, "You came to see me, purely because Qingzi has achieved the status and success she has today. You want to profit from Qingzi's power. If it wasn't for Qingzi, would you apologize to me? Would you say these words to me? Would you not divorce me?"

Zhao Bin said, "I would, I would say these words to you!"

"Zhao Bin, don't lie, it only makes me despise you more!" Feng Xuehua waved her hand dismissively and said, "Just go. If you have time these next few days, bring your documents and let's get the divorce papers sorted out. If you don't want to come, that's fine too. I'll apply for a divorce at the court, and you can just come and sign."

Zhao Bin was dumbfounded for a long while, then suddenly he stood up and charged at Feng Xuehua, shouting furiously, "No! Impossible! Impossible! I'm not going to divorce you!"

Ye Qing stood up and grabbed Zhao Bin's collar, throwing him back. Da Fei was even more direct, rushing over to knock Zhao Bin down with a kick and stepping on his chest, shouting angrily, "Motherfucker, you want to fight, is that it?"

Zhao Bin struggled on the ground, shouting angrily, "I'm not going to divorce you! Zhao Xuehua, unless I die, otherwise I absolutely won't divorce you. Hear me out, if you dare divorce me, I will definitely kill you, kill your whole family, you can't divorce me!"

Feng Xuehua turned her head away, sobbing continuously, not even willing to give Zhao Bin another glance.

Ye Qing sighed. He knew that his aunt had completely given up on Zhao Bin. A failed marriage really hurt, and it was likely that his aunt would never step out of the shadow of this marriage for the rest of her life.

Ye Qing made a gesture to Da Fei, who immediately dragged Zhao Bin out. Ye Qing approached Feng Xuehua and said in a low voice, "Auntie, in this world, no one is indispensable. After the divorce, maybe you'll live better, don't be too sad over this guy!"

"I'm not sad, I'm just angry with myself!" Feng Xuehua shook her head and said, "I hate myself for falling in love with such a scumbag. Qingzi, when he mentioned divorce yesterday, I was a bit reluctant. But today, when he knelt before me, begging, I suddenly felt disgusted, really disgusted!"

"There are too many opportunists in this world, not just him," Ye Qing said. "But it's all in the past now, auntie, I believe your future will be better!"

Feng Xuehua nodded, not saying anything more.

Ye Qing walked out of the room, where Da Fei and Mad Dog were beating Zhao Bin. Zhao Bin had blood all over his face from the beating, pleading continuously, but Da Fei and Mad Dog showed no sign of stopping.

Seeing Ye Qing approaching, Zhao Bin hurriedly covered his head, saying urgently, "Qingzi, Qingzi, tell them to stop hitting me, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, after all, I am still your uncle!"

Ye Qing walked up to them and waved his hand, at which Da Fei and Mad Dog finally stopped.

Zhao Bin, clutching his head, looked at Ye Qing in panic and said tremblingly, "Qingzi, give me another chance, just one more chance. I will prove to you, I will be good to Xuehua, just one more chance..."

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "You no longer have a chance."

"Why? Why won't you give me another chance? I love Xuehua!" Zhao Bin pleaded urgently.

"Zhao Bin, please don't insult the word 'love' anymore," Ye Qing said coldly. "My aunt said, either you come and handle the divorce yourself, or she will apply for it at the court. Regardless, this marriage is ending. If you're a man, be gracious about it, don't try to stall. Moreover, I'm warning you, don't even think about retaliating against my aunt's family. If even a single hair from my aunt's family is harmed, I absolutely will not let you off. If you dare harm any of them, I will cut off your fingers. You dare throw a punch, I'll chop off your hand. If you don't believe me, go ahead and try!"

Ye Qing's voice was cold and slow; it sent shivers through Zhao Bin, who didn't dare to utter another word in response.

Seeing him act this way, Ye Qing couldn't help but hold him in even greater disdain. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Scram!"

Zhao Bin glanced at the room where Feng Xuehua was staying, hesitated for a moment, but finally slunk away. He knew that trying to stay was impossible, and lingering around would only earn him another beating, without changing anything. Now, he truly regretted everything, but what use was regret?

After returning to the room and consoling Feng Xuehua a few more times, and seeing her emotion gradually stabilize, Ye Qing then took them to see the new house they had rented.

Old Fifth Yang had rented two apartments at once, one for Ye Changwen and his family to live in, and the other for Ye Qing's great-aunt and her family, conveniently located just opposite each other. The decoration and environment of the apartments were quite good, almost on par with Gu Xianping's. The most crucial point was that the apartments were large, enough for them to each have their own room.

Feng Jianshe's family had always lived in the village, in an old dilapidated earthen house without even a window. Even during the daytime, the room was pitch dark, and their living conditions were extremely poor. Although Feng Xuehua lived in the township, the conditions at her home weren't much better, and she had never lived in such a large apartment complex, let alone seen such a bright house. Standing in the bright apartment, satisfaction was all they felt, and even the usually sullen Feng Xuehua nodded in approval.

It was rather simple for Feng Jianshe's family to move in because they barely had any luggage, and Old Fifth Yang had already taken care of all the furniture and equipment when renting the apartment. The conditions in the house were almost like a hotel; they could move in straight away. So, that night, they stayed there, and Ye Qing also brought over a few bags of rice and flour, thus their life in the city officially began.

In the evening, Ye Qing finally found some time to visit Chen Junhou San and the others in the hospital. Their injuries were healing nicely, and when Ye Qing arrived, they were piling hospital beds together to play cards.

Upon seeing Ye Qing, Hou San immediately waved him over and said, "Big Brother Ye, come on, play a few hands with us!"

"No can do, I don't play this!" Ye Qing waved his hand to decline. On the other hand, Da Fei was quite excited and walked over, saying, "Come on, I'll play with you. What's the stake? Five yuan as the base? That's way too little, double it, double it, at least twenty yuan for the base!"

Hou San said helplessly, "Fei, quit messing around. You have money, but we're all broke. Twenty yuan for the base, do you want to drive the banker to his death?"

Ye Qing cracked a slight smile and gave Mad Dog a look. Mad Dog immediately went over, took out two stacks of money from his backpack, and placed them on the hospital bed, saying, "This is from Big Brother for you guys, split it among yourselves, and count any wins or losses as Big Brother's!"

Chen Jun was just a small-time scoundrel and had never seen so much money. Although Hou San and the others had seen quite a bit of money while mixed up with He Biao, it was never theirs. Now that Ye Qing had thrown out two stacks of money for them to divide, everyone immediately cheered.

"Thank you, Big Brother Ye!"

"Big Brother Ye, you're really generous!"

"Hey, in a few days, we're all going to Shenchuan City with Big Brother Ye to make a fortune, and that's when we'll really have fun!"

The group was abuzz with discussion, full of anticipation for the upcoming trip to Shenchuan City.

Ye Qing wasn't one to spend money extravagantly; in fact, he was very frugal with his own expenses. But when it came to his followers, he was never stingy. Moreover, they were going to Shenchuan City to watch over his business, and unforeseen incidents might occur. Ye Qing felt that he couldn't be miserly with them, so he ensured they would never lack for money.

Qin Jing was with Ye Qing and, seeing how freely Ye Qing handled money, couldn't help but be amazed, exclaiming, "Damn, Qingzi, have you really struck it rich in Shenchuan City? You're spending so lavishly!"

"Money, after all, is meant to be spent!" Ye Qing smiled and said, "You trust me enough to go with me to Shenchuan City; that makes you my brothers. My principle is simple: my money is my brothers' money!"

"What you're saying there, it's just..." Qin Jing gave Ye Qing a thumbs up, saying, "Awesome!"

"Heh..." Ye Qing chuckled, about to speak, but then he saw Lin Guoqiang walking in with a beaming smile on his face.

"Mr. Ye, you've come at such a late hour!" Lin Guoqiang came over and shook hands warmly with Ye Qing, saying, "Don't worry about them in the hospital. I'll take good care of them."

"Thank you, Director Lin," Ye Qing replied with a nod.

"It's part of my job, Mr. Ye. Please don't mention it." Lin Guoqiang smiled and added, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Ye Qingqi asked, curious about what Lin Guoqiang might want to discuss with him.

Lin Guoqiang said, "I heard that Mr. Hou Da is a doctor?"

Hou San immediately turned around and said, "Of course my brother is a doctor. Although he hasn't worked in a hospital treating patients, his skills are no less than any of those doctors you have here!"

"That's great!" Lin Guoqiang nodded and smiled, saying, "That's the thing. I've been discussing with several chief doctors at the hospital today, and we'd like to invite Mr. Hou Da to join our hospital. I wonder if that would be possible?"
