Chapter Seventy-Three: The Family Is Broken
Xu Saburo also heard that something was wrong, and responded anxiously, "Okay." ”
While saying that, Xu Sanlang raised his feet and prepared to leave, forgetting that he was still holding the child in his hand, Cheng Xi hurriedly reminded him, "The child should stay first." ”
Old Mrs. Xu, who was already gloomy, heard that Cheng Xi still said that she wanted to leave the child behind, and finally couldn't help but speak, "This Fan family has long broken off relations with you, what are you in a hurry to make up?" This child has nothing to do with my Xu family, and he is not allowed to stay in the Xu family. ”
Xu Wenyu glanced at Cheng Fang on the side, although Cheng Fang was reluctant, he had to speak, "Yes, San Lang, your grandmother said when she sent you back, so you don't have to go to Fan's house in the future, is it appropriate for you to go over now?" If you don't ask your fourth uncle to help send this kid back, you won't go over. ”
Cheng Xi only sneered in his heart when he heard it, from this child's words, he was not a fool and could tell that something must have happened to Xu Sanlang's grandmother, and this Xu family still wanted to do everything possible to prevent Xu Sanlang from going to Fan's house, that little thought was really disgraceful.
Xu Sanlang was also cold when he heard it, although he was finally sent back to the Xu family, but in his grandfather's house, he had never suffered such a grievance from the Xu family, but the Xu family was embarrassed to say such a thing.
At this time, the two of them didn't bother to worry about the Xu family, Cheng Xi only said, "The child will be sent back to my mother's house first." ”
This Wu stood up and was about to say out loud that she would help watch the child, but she was glared at by her man's warning, and Wu had to change her tone and say, "Child, I'll help you send it to the Cheng family, you should hurry up and go to the Fan family to have a look." ”
Xu Saburo was in a hurry at this time, so he had to nod and hand the child to Wu, not wanting the child to hold Xu Saburo's neck tightly, and only shouting in his mouth, "I want a brother, I want a brother." ”
Seeing Xu Sanlang's helpless expression, Cheng Xi had no choice but to step forward and coax softly, "Hundred-year-old girl, go to the eldest mother, let my brother go to your grandmother, and then bring your grandmother to see you." ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to find his grandmother, the child finally loosened up and asked in a low voice, "Really?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "Of course it's true, go quickly, let the eldest lady take you to find something delicious." ”
In the end, the child couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and obediently went to Wu's arms.
Cheng Xi instructed again, "I'm sorry to trouble my aunt, I'm afraid the child has suffered a lot of grievances, so when I send it to Cheng's house, let my brother go and find a doctor for him to see if there are any injuries on his body." ”
Wu nodded in response, "Don't worry, you guys should go quickly." ”
After placing the children, the two of them did not dare to delay, and quickly rushed towards Mingshui Village, where Fan's family was located.
Behind her, Mrs. Xu watched the two leave with a gloomy face, and scolded and scolded, "That old thing of the Fan family is really good at picking the time, why didn't I see her to see Xu Sanlang before, and now I sent a child to pretend to be pitiful, hmph, who knows what the idea is." ”
Immediately, the war was transferred to the Wu family who was holding the child, "Mourning Xing, whatever you want you to do, you have done it many times, otherwise this little will be taken back to the Fan family by them." ”
Wu looked at Mrs. Xu with a posture of settling accounts with him, and hurriedly said, "I'll send this child to Cheng's house first." ”
After speaking, he hugged the child and walked quickly in the direction of Cheng's house.
Xu Wenyu, who had been silent, said with slightly narrowed eyes, "I don't know if something really happened to this Fan family, or if it was a trick on purpose." ”
Old Mrs. Xu said with a gloomy face, "No matter what kind of moth she is, at this time, I want to get Xu Sanlang to go to her Fan family, there is no way." ”
Now that Xu Sanlang is the cash cow of the Xu family, and Xu Wenyu is still counting on more relationships through them, at this time, Xu Sanlang can't be allowed to leave the Xu family and go to the Fan family.
And Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi quickly rushed to Mingshui Village, came to the front of a fairly good courtyard, and anxiously knocked on the courtyard door.
Xu Saburo originally planned to knock a few times and break in directly if no one opened it, but as soon as he knocked on the door, a woman's voice answered from inside.
"Who's coming?"
Squeak, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman stood inside, looking at them with a puzzled expression, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Xu Sanlang also looked puzzled, "Isn't this the Fan family's courtyard?" ”
The middle-aged woman suddenly realized, "Oh, are you looking for Mrs. Fan?" Their grandparents and grandchildren have moved to the old house in the east of the village, which has long been sold to our family. ”
Xu Saburo frowned slightly, thanked the woman, and then took Cheng Xi to the old house in the east of the village.
Coming to the door of the old house, Cheng Xi looked left and right, in a remote area against the mountain, a simple yard is located at the foot of the mountain, and there are no people around, with a low fence courtyard wall, you can see the whole picture of the courtyard inside, and it is a fence thatched house, which is really simple enough.
The yard is quite tidy up, one side is cultivated and planted with winter cabbage, the growth is not bad, and the other side is planted with some miscellaneous trees, it can be seen that the owner of this yard should be very diligent.
At this time, there was no sound in the courtyard, the courtyard door was hidden, Xu Saburo took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to push open the courtyard door and walked inside.
After that, the two of them walked around the three thatched huts inside, which were unusually simple, but there was no one in the house.
Seeing that there was no one, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them planned to look around to see if anyone had gone out to work, and walked around the yard, but still did not see anyone.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man came in front of him, and when he saw the outstanding appearance of the two, he was stunned at first, and then frowned and reprimanded, "Who are you two guys, what are you sneaking around here?" ”
Cheng Xi hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at Xu Sanlang and responded, "May I ask if Mrs. Fan lives here?" She was his grandmother. ”
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Saburo in surprise, "You are the hard-lived baby back then?" ”
Xu Sanlang's eyes darkened slightly, but he still nodded.
The middle-aged man sighed and responded, "Your grandmother is there, and back then, she insisted that you had defeated the Fan family and sent you away, but the Fan family still couldn't escape this fate." ”
Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi looked at the place pointed by the middle-aged man, where was there anyone, only a small mound of dirt.
Xu Sanlang's pupils shrank, even if he was mentally prepared, it was still a little difficult to accept that his grandfather's family, except for one child left, was actually no one.
The middle-aged man was still saying, "I don't know what evil this Fan family has done, this old lady died in the house and stinks, if it weren't for the old woman who knew her well in the village, I am afraid that they are still lying in the house, and the only child of the Fan family will not be found." ”
Xu Saburo gradually squatted down, holding his head and began to mumble to himself, "It's all me, it's all me, it's me damn ,......"
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang's appearance and knew that this fool was afraid that he was taking all the blame on himself, and thought that the Fan family, who had been killed by his own life, was ruined.
Cheng Xi sighed, squatted down and hugged Xu Sanlang's head, and comforted softly with red eyes, "It's none of your business, you're not in the Fan family anymore, it's none of your business, those are all lies." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the pair of young people hugging each other, shook his head with a sympathetic sigh, and turned away.
Cheng Xi hugged Xu Sanlang and coaxed him for a long time, and Xu Sanlang gradually calmed down, but when he raised his head, his eyes were still red, his face was full of sadness, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go see grandma." ”
Seeing Xu Sanlang walking quickly towards the small mound, Cheng Xi hurriedly followed.
After that, Xu Saburo knelt silently beside the small mound, looked at the small mound quietly, and did not speak.
Cheng Xi stood behind Xu Sanlang, his legs were tired and he squatted down, and he simply sat on the ground with his butt numb.
Half an hour has passed, Xu Sanlang doesn't seem to have moved, Cheng Xi was thinking about how to persuade Xu Sanlang, and from a distance, he saw an old woman with a little rickety on her back, who was helped by a middle-aged man to come this way.
Cheng Xi called Xu Sanlang, but he didn't react, so he simply stretched out his leg and kicked Xu Sanlang, saying, "Someone is coming." ”
Xu Sanlang finally reacted a little, raised his red eyes, looked into the distance, and after reading it, he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the small mound in a daze.
Cheng Xi sighed helplessly, but still got up from the ground, and stood up in a proper manner waiting for the two people to come over.
The old lady's legs and feet didn't seem to be very neat, and Cheng Xi wanted to sit down again, so the two of them came to follow.
After seeing Cheng Xi, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Sanlang who was kneeling in front of the small mound, and the old lady said in a hoarse voice that was not very sure, "You are Xu Zihao back then?" ”
Xu Sanlang finally reacted again, and said to the old lady and the middle-aged man who came over, "Grandma Guo, Second Uncle Guo." ”
The old lady looked at Xu Sanlang, who was kneeling in front of the small mound, and responded excitedly, "Okay, okay, who is this girl?" ”
Cheng Xi took the initiative to introduce himself, "Grandma Guo, Uncle Guo is good, I am his daughter-in-law." ”
The old lady called two more hellos before she said to Xu Sanlang, who was kneeling in front of the small mound, "Child, get up, go down to the house, I have something to tell you." ”
Seeing that Xu Saburo didn't move, the old lady sighed and said again, "It's your grandma who has something to say for me to bring to you." ”
Xu Sanlang finally moved, looked up at the old lady, with a look of anticipation, but the old lady spoke, "Get up first, go back and talk." ”
Xu Saburo had to get up, Cheng Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support Xu Sanlang, who was a little swaying because he had been kneeling for too long, and the group followed back to the thatched house, and then sat down around the table at noon.
The old lady finally spoke, "I didn't expect her to go silently like this, if it weren't for the fact that I hadn't seen her for a few days, let the second child come over and have a look, hey......"
After that, the old lady glanced at Guo Lao Er, Guo Lao Er took out a worn-out purse from her arms and put it on the table, the old lady pushed the purse in front of Xu Sanlang, and said, "Although she left suddenly, she had long expected that there would be this day, and she was ready early, this is the little savings she has saved over the years by selling the house, saying that if she leaves, she will entrust me to transfer it to you." ”
