Chapter 2: Silly Girl

"Hey!" Cheng Xi lay on the hard clay kang, endured the faint pain on his forehead, stared at the thatched roof with wide eyes, and didn't know how many times he sighed.

The farce in the morning, because of the arrival of the village chief, came to an end, and Cheng Xi also became a stupid girl because of Langzhong's diagnosis, and the reason for the stupidity was finally attributed to the Xu family, and Cheng Xi did not have seven crimes, the Xu family could not give up, and was carried back to the Xu family again.

Cheng Xi originally felt that the original grandmother was also a little ruthless, the Xu family treated her like this, and actually let her go back to the Xu family, but later learned that the Xu family also has the difficulties of the Xu family, and of course there are also people who don't want to see her.

Through the handsome second brother, Cheng Xi learned that the original father Cheng Dagui fell off the cliff while collecting firewood, and his life was picked up, but he broke his leg, in order to treat Cheng Dagui's leg, Cheng Xi's grandmother and several daughters-in-law in the family combined, Cheng Xi was put into the Xu family by a bride price of one or two silver, as for the one or two silver, the Cheng family spent it as soon as they got it, and gave Cheng Dagui medicine.

The old man Xu of the Xu family is terminally ill, the old lady of the Xu family is sick and rushes to the doctor, and finds the old god stick who dances in the village to calculate, Chong Xi may be useful, most of the village understands the fierceness of the old lady of the Xu family and the Xu family, plus the news revealed by the old god stick who is drunk and talking nonsense, who is willing to marry their daughter to the Xu family?

Then there was a couple of silver to carry Cheng Xi, who was only eleven, into the Xu family, but I didn't expect that the new daughter-in-law just entered the door, and the old man Xu not only didn't see well, but he swallowed his breath in the afternoon, and the original happy event became a funeral, as for why the original body hit the coffin board, I'm afraid that except for the original body, no one knows.

"O evil old society." Cheng Xi muttered to herself, she actually wanted to leave the Xu family, it was best to go back to the Cheng family, although there was a powerful little old lady, but at least there was a second brother and younger brother who cared about her, but I didn't expect the Cheng family to unanimously let her go back to the Xu family.

Cheng Xi pretended to be stupid and grabbed the handsome second brother, but he heard the fierce little old lady come over and persuade him earnestly, "Miss Xi, if you are returned to the Cheng family like this, your reputation will be completely ruined, who will dare to marry you in the future?" You went back to the Xu family, although the old pious woman of the Xu family is a little fiercer, she is always an old immortal, and she will not live for a few years, you are still young, live well with the Xu family Erlang, and you will always get better. Besides, if your reputation is ruined, the daughter of the Cheng family will not be able to marry well in the future. ”

The handsome second brother also grabbed her hand with a distressed face, and coaxed softly, "The second brother will often come to see you." ”

It wasn't until the handsome second brother leaned over and whispered something in Cheng Xi's ear that Cheng Xi obediently let go of his hand, and finally left with the Xu family.

Waiting for Cheng Xi to be carried back to the Xu family again, this Xu family Erlang began to make trouble, he insisted on not marrying a fool, the old lady of the Xu family had a gloomy face, and she would actually agree, with a wave of her hand, and sent to Xu Sanlang's house, and then Cheng Xi was carried out of the Xu family's courtyard and sent into this dilapidated thatched house.

There is nothing in the house except an earthen kang and a broken table, and this simple thatched roof must leak when it rains, right?

This is Xu Saburo's house? It seems that this Xu Sanlang is not generally unpopular in the Xu family, and the stupid daughter-in-law who Xu Erlang doesn't want will be thrown to him, and the house he lives in is not in the Xu family's compound, it is still such a dilapidated thatched house.

Cheng Xi has been lying on the bed for a long time, looking at the light revealed in the two jumps dug out of the earthen wall, it is almost dark, right? Grumbling with hunger, there was nothing in the house, Cheng Xi thought about it, did he want to go to Xu's house to find something to eat? But as soon as he thought of the fierce little old lady, Cheng Xi retreated.

In Cheng Xi's constant hesitation and entanglement, the sky gradually darkened, the room became dark, and one or two cries could be heard outside from time to time.

Enduring the smell of sweat from the shabby thin quilt, Cheng Xi buried his whole person in the quilt, completely isolated himself from the outside air, and only heard the sound of opening the door at the door.

Cheng Xi cautiously poked his head out of the quilt, and there was a dim light at the door, Cheng Xi blinked, and only after getting used to the light did he look at the person, a young woman in her early twenties, with a car and an oil lamp in her hand, pushed the door in, this woman is the most glamorous woman Cheng Xi has seen when she comes here, and she looks good, and the whole person looks like a grace.

The woman was wearing a white filial piety dress and a hundred flowers on the side of her hair, Cheng Xi remembered that the old man of the Xu family had gone, no wonder he heard crying from time to time, I was afraid that the Xu family's courtyard was doing a funeral at this time, and the Xu family was crying and mourning.

Cheng Xi was still looking at the woman, but the woman had already walked to the bed, and when she saw the little girl on the bed looking at her with her eyes open, she sighed before she spoke, "Miss Xi, do you still know Aunt Fang?" ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, and when the woman saw Cheng Xi shaking her head, she sighed again before she continued, "I am your father's cousin, your Aunt Fang, and your fourth aunt in the future, if you have any difficulties in the Xu family in the future, you can find Aunt Fang." ”

Listening to the woman's words, Cheng Xi nodded obediently, and exhaled a sigh of worry about the tangled heart, it seems that this Aunt Fang is not bad, maybe she can become her own support in this strange Xu family in the future, thinking so in her heart, Cheng Xi rarely opened her mouth and shouted obediently, "Aunt Fang is good." ”

Cheng Xi, who listened to it, would still be so calling, Cheng Fang, who originally thought that this girl had become completely stupid, flashed a trace of surprise on her face, then nodded with satisfaction, sat on the side of Cheng Xi's bed, and responded, "Okay, my aunt brought you food, you hurry up and eat it, don't let people find out, and your aunt won't be able to send you food after being discovered." ”

While speaking, Cheng Fang took out two black, yellow, black and yellow things like steamed buns from his sleeves, Cheng Xi was hungry at this time with his chest pressed against his back, although he couldn't tell what it was, it was still taken out of people's sleeves, Cheng Xi didn't care about it, stretched out his two hands and took it, and said thank you.

Cheng Fang stood up and didn't forget to ask again, "Hurry up and eat, don't let people find out, I'll leave first, you can go to bed early after eating, San Lang will keep a watch at night, and he won't come over." ”

Seeing Cheng Xi nodding in response, Cheng Fang left with the oil lamp, and the thatched hut fell into darkness again.

Cheng Xi groped in the dark to pick up the steamed bun left by the woman, put it to her mouth, took a bite, dry and hard, where had she ever eaten such unpalatable food, but she was hungry, no matter how hard it was to swallow, she had to eat, gnawing on the dry and hard steamed bun, thinking about her parents who once loved her, and then thinking about her current situation, she couldn't help but redden.

Immediately, Cheng Xi comforted herself in her heart, at least she is still alive now, she has been fighting against the disease for many years, she knows the preciousness of life, and her heart is strong enough, she finally didn't let the tears fall in her eyes, she cheered herself up in her heart, and she could have life again, that was God's favor for her, she should cherish it, even if it was difficult, she had to live well.

Maybe it was because of the head injury, when Cheng Xi woke up again, the sky outside was already bright, and his head was still aching, Cheng Xi endured the headache and sat up, and then heard the voice of the little old lady outside, "What kind of evil did my Xu family make, why did I attract a mourning star again, look at the grass in this field, there are people tall, you are lazy, you don't know how to clean it up, don't clean the vegetable garden today, don't want to eat, what about that cheap girl, let her come out to work, don't do anything, do not want our old Xu family to raise her?" Yes! It's unlucky! Sure enough, it's a mourning star, and there are insects and snakes all around, don't think about eating at night if you don't finish your work, do you hear it? ……”

Cheng Xi sat on the bed, listening to the scolding voice gradually drifting away, stretched out his hand to support his forehead and sighed, he had no food to eat, his head was still injured, and he had to get up and work, how would he live this day!

Squeak! The door was suddenly pushed open, Cheng Xi looked up at the door, the dazzling light made Cheng Xi block his eyes a little uncomfortably, and only when he was better did he look at the person who came in at the door, it was a tall young man with deep facial features, sharp edges and corners, and dark skin.

Cheng Xi unconsciously compared with the second brother he saw yesterday, this young man doesn't look as gentle and elegant as the second brother, he has more masculinity, but he has a bit of a male taste, but the clothes he wears on his body are really shabby enough, patch on patch, except for being cleaner than beggar's clothes, everything else is almost the same.

The young man's eyes looking at him were very cold, without a trace of temperature, and full of alienation, Cheng Xi guessed that this young man should be Xu Sanlang, compared with Xu Erlang who made a fuss yesterday, it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"If you want to have something to eat, get up and work." Xu Saburo's cold voice came.

Cheng Xi, who only ate two mixed noodles and steamed buns yesterday and drank a pot of cold water, instantly felt even hungrier, and his stomach rang twice at this time.

Cheng Xi stared at the young man pitifully with wide eyes, in order to win the young man's sympathy, and whispered, "That, don't you have breakfast?" ”

The voice from Cheng Xi's stomach, Xu Sanlang also heard it, and at the same time, Xu Sanlang himself didn't expect that when he saw the little girl in front of him looking at him pitifully with big watery eyes, he would actually find out the dried meat he hid and hand it to the little girl, and the little girl looked excited, and quickly took it, and when he reacted and wanted to regret it, it was too late.

Cheng Xi just looked at Xu Sanlang at first, and went to the broken cabinet behind the bedside without saying a word, pouting very unhappily, and thinking about how to make the young man soft-hearted and find something to eat for himself, if not, he would go to the Aunt Fang yesterday, but before he could figure out the solution, a piece of air-dried cooked jerky appeared in front of him, and it still exuded a smell of meat.

Cheng Xi knew in her heart, she said what was this person looking for? I was actually looking for food for myself, and looking at that cold expression, I thought I wasn't ready to take care of myself.

"Thank you." Cheng Xi thanked him happily, and began to eat the jerky in his hand in small bites, probably hungry, such ordinary jerky felt particularly delicious when eaten in his mouth, and there was a satisfied smile on his face.

Xu Saburo looked at the girl in front of him, eating his last piece of inventory with a satisfied smile, and said very depressedly, "Hurry up and eat and work." ”
