Chapter VII Conflict
Where was Mrs. Xu willing to be threatened by a little girl like this, she didn't dare to get on, and the bamboo whip in her hand was stuffed into the hand of the second daughter-in-law Li who didn't speak, and said, "You go, give me a hard whip, otherwise I really have no rules in my Xu family." ”
Li Shi looked at the girl with a firewood knife in her hand in front of her, with a fierce face, where did she dare to step forward, and only opened her mouth to scold Xu Sanlang, "San Lang, look at your daughter-in-law's virtues, and I don't know how to manage it." ”
Xu Sanlang seemed to be immersed in sadness, so he stood in place with red eyes, ignoring the Li family at all, but the old lady Xu on the side said a little impatiently, "What are you doing in a daze?" A little girl can't clean up the film, what's the use of asking you. ”
Cheng Xi looked at the Li family, under the pressure of Old Lady Xu, and moved towards him with a bamboo whip in small steps, so he waved the firewood knife in his hand twice, and said provocatively, "Come on, the freshly sharpened firewood knife, see if your bamboo whip is hard, or the firewood knife in my hand is hard." ”
On the surface, it looks like a fish is dead and the net is broken, in fact, it is a bluff, Cheng Xi doesn't plan to really use a knife to cut people, that is, to scare them, looking at the Li family coming over here, the firewood knife in his hand is dancing in the air, but the person slowly retreated behind Xu Sanlang, thinking that Xu Sanlang's force value should not be afraid of the bamboo whip.
Li Shi saw the firewood knife in Cheng Xi's hand, and finally stopped, no matter what the old lady said, she didn't plan to go up and take risks, the firewood knife was much more terrifying than the bamboo whip in her hand.
Mrs. Xu didn't dare to step forward when she looked at Li, the girl in front of her was still holding the firewood knife tightly in her hand, and she couldn't do anything about her at all, so angry that she was only panting, "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite, Mourning Star, didn't you see your daughter-in-law holding a knife to kill someone, quickly snatched the knife in her hand, ouch, what kind of sin did I make, why did I get such a stirrger back!" ”
Mrs. Xu's fuss finally made Xu Sanlang, who was stunned with red eyes, come back to his senses, unloaded the firewood on his back to the door, and said coldly, "Let's go back first." ”
After that, Xu Sanlang carried two back baskets and pulled Cheng Xi, who was hiding behind him, with half of his body and left.
"Stop, shall I let you go? Don't kowtow and admit your mistakes, don't think about having food in the future. ”
Xu Sanlang didn't answer, pulled Cheng Xi's head and left the door of the Xu family's courtyard without looking back, and went to the thatched house behind.
Feeling the pain in his wrist, Cheng Xi finally couldn't help but break free of the wrist he was grabbing, stood on tiptoe and threw the firewood knife in his hand into the back basket behind Xu Sanlang, before rubbing his wrist and complaining, "I wasn't beaten by them, but I was pinched and swollen by you." ”
Xu Sanlang glanced down at Cheng Xihong's wrist, stood in place and paused, but didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to the thatched house.
Cheng Xi rubbed his wrist and looked at Xu Sanlang's absent-minded back, sighed lightly, and followed slowly and methodically.
Unconsciously, the two of them had already walked to the corner behind the courtyard of the Xu family, and as soon as the two appeared, they saw several figures at the door of the thatched house rushing towards this side quickly, and when they saw the person in front, Cheng Xi was a little big-headed, and he was slandered in his heart, why did he come again?
This person only came yesterday, her fourth brother Cheng Cai, and the two people behind Cheng Xi also knew each other when they were in Cheng's house, one is her other brother Cheng Chen, and the other is the younger brother born to the stepmother, since the fourth brother is here, then the stepmother Wu is afraid that she will chase after her again in a while.
Just now, I felt that the Xu family was difficult, so it was better to go back to the Cheng family, but when I saw the Cheng family at this time, I thought of the situation of the Cheng family, but I had another headache, and I was afraid that I would not stop wherever I went.
"Xi'er, where did you go? We waited here all morning. ”
Cheng Xi looked helpless, but he still responded, "Let's go up the mountain to chop wood." ”
After Cheng Cai heard this, his anger rose slowly, and he reprimanded, "Look, it's only been a few days, and you still have an injury on your head, so I asked you to work, and you didn't listen to me when I asked you to go back with me yesterday......"
The latter words were interrupted by Cheng Xi's second brother Cheng Chen, who was following Cheng Cai in time, "Dad asked us to come over and see you, and by the way, I will bring you some food, have you had breakfast, Aunt Wu made cakes for us to bring over, it's still hot." ”
Cheng Xi looked at the few people in front of him, listened to their words, and had a rough idea in his heart, it seems that Cheng Cai was persuaded by the Cheng family and would not insist on taking him back, but Cheng Xi was still a little moved in his heart, this fourth brother should not be his own brother, it was brought by the stepmother Wu when she married into the Cheng family, but she was sincerely good to her, and this heart is really not easy.
While thinking about Cheng Xi, he smiled and responded, "Is there a cake?" It's a pity that we are all full, so we can only save for the next meal. ”
Looking at the satisfied smile on Cheng Xi's face, it seemed that he was really full, Cheng Cai was relieved, but thinking that Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang up the mountain to chop firewood early in the morning, he felt a little uncomfortable, and a few people went to the thatched house, Cheng Cai said, "You are a new daughter-in-law, you are still young, how can you be called up the mountain to chop wood?" Where can you do this at home? ”
Cheng Xi thought about the group of half-grown children who were watching on the mountain before, there were also girls chopping wood, and there seemed to be a smaller and audible tone of Cheng Cai, who didn't seem to have to chop wood before?
Thinking about this body, it was hard to carry firewood, and then took out his hand and looked at it, the thin skin and tender meat were really not the hands of those who often work, Cheng Xi instantly felt so sad, before she came, the original life was still good, and as soon as she came, this changed.
Seeing that Cheng Xi had been silent, everyone felt that Cheng Xi was sad to hear Cheng Cai's words, and Xu Sanlang was the first to speak, "Follow me to endure hardships, you go back with them." ”
Cheng Caigang wanted to open his mouth to agree, but Cheng Chen was the first to stop him again, "Xu Sanlang, what do you mean, my sister has been in the door of your Xu family for two days, you don't want her now, let her go back with us, don't you want to completely ruin my sister's reputation?" You are like this, how can my sister be a person in Shiqiao Village? ”
Cheng Chen's words finally annoyed Cheng Cai, "Cheng Chen, this is your own sister, her reputation is so important that she is willing to let Xi'er suffer in the Xu family?" I really misread you, you villain. ”
Not to be outdone, Cheng Chen glared at Cheng Cai, "You don't care, but what about Xi'er, if she returns to the Cheng family, how will Xi'er spend her life in the Cheng family?" Who will dare to marry her in the future, and what will she do for the rest of her life? ”
Cheng Cai looked at Cheng Chen and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you only care about yourself and don't want to stretch out your hand, I will raise her, if no one marries, I will marry her in the future." ”
Cheng Chen glared at Cheng Cai angrily, "You beast, you are her fourth brother." ”
Cheng Cai pursed his mouth disdainfully, "Who doesn't know that I am a breed of the Ma family, it's a big deal that I don't have the surname Cheng, I just change my surname to Ma." ”
Looking at the two people who were arguing in front of him, Cheng Xi's already injured head ached, and he couldn't stand it and stopped it, "Don't quarrel, go back and quarrel, don't quarrel here, I am Xu Sanlang's daughter-in-law now, anyway, I won't go back to Cheng's house with you." ”
She doesn't want to go anywhere now, stay in Xu Sanlang's broken thatched house, don't have to face that messy group of relatives and elders, and can still stop.
She also knew why her second brother Cheng Chen prevented him from going back to Cheng's house, not because of her reputation, her second brother whispered in her ear yesterday, "Going to the Xu family, although it hurts you, it's better than being pampered by the eldest aunt and letting grandma sell you." ”
Cheng Xi's words finally made the two people who were arguing stop, and the little boy who had not spoken on the side saw that the two brothers finally stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, took the package in his hand and handed it to Cheng Xi, and said, "Sister, this is what my father and mother asked us to bring to you, I know that you can't make it yourself, it's all cooked food." ”
Cheng Xi took the package from his younger brother, who was slightly shorter than him, and touched her head with a smile, "Thank you, what's your name." ”
The little boy was stunned when he heard Cheng Xi's words, and then said a little sadly, "Sister, you don't even remember me?" I'm Cheng Qiang. ”
Cheng Xi replied embarrassedly, "Xiaoqiang, I will definitely remember it in the future and never forget it." Although she knew that the boy was her brother, she did not know his name, so she asked.
After getting rid of the three brothers and brothers, I didn't expect Xu Sanlang, who had been silent, to speak again, "My life is hard, I will kill the people around me, you better take him back, everyone in the village knows about killing his parents, you only said that you were worried about Cheng Xi, so you took her back, and it won't ruin her reputation." ”
Cheng Xi felt that his brain hurt this time, and he said speechlessly, "Since you all care about me so much, find a way to make some money for me, and I'll leave here by myself." ”
Everyone who listened to Cheng Xi's words looked at Cheng Xi with wide eyes.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Cheng Xi pursed his lips and said very freely, "The world is so big, wherever you like to go, you can always find a place for me." ”
Cheng Chen opened his mouth and reprimanded, "It's nonsense, Xu Sanlang, are you trying to force my sister to death?" ”
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's relaxed face, as if he was going to leave, but finally compromised, and reluctantly responded, "If you like to stay, stay." ”
In Xu Sanlang's eyes, Cheng Xi is a little stupid after all, a girl with a big fart, and she is still clamoring to leave, where can she go if she leaves? Do you really think it's so easy to live outside?
Cheng Cai came and went in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't pay attention to the environment at that time, and when he looked at this simple house, he frowned and said, "This dilapidated house, there is nothing, how can it be lived?" ”
As if he hadn't heard, Xu Saburo said, "You greet the guests, and I'll go to Xiaocao to turn over the valley." After saying that, he carried a basket on his back and left with a hoe.
