Chapter Eighty-Five: Another Rumor

Chapter 85

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang went out of the hospital, and the three of them planned to go straight to Cheng Xi's maiden family, Cheng's house, but remembering Cheng Dagui and Wu's disgust for the child in Xu Sanlang's arms, Cheng Xi had a headache, and Xu Sanlang was even more worried.

In the past, I still met a lot of villagers who came out to worship their ancestors and worship gods along the way, but it was very strange that the villagers who couldn't help but go up to inquire about gossip when they saw them in the past, suddenly changed their previous attitude, and when they saw two big and one small three, they quickly avoided it as if they saw the plague.

Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo were happy and relaxed, no one stepped forward to stop them and ask questions, but Cheng Xi was also a little curious, and muttered to himself, "Are we scary today?" Didn't these people see us before and go up and ask about the gossip? Why did you hide away from us in horror when you saw us today? ”

Xu Sanlang didn't know, but when he heard Cheng Xi's question, he shook his head suspiciously, indicating that he was also puzzled.

Halfway through, Xu Sanlang hesitated a little, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to Mingshui Village for a day, and Ming'er will go to the county seat early in the morning." ”

Xu Sanlang was a little worried, they took the hundred-year-old over, and the Cheng family would not let them enter the door, how disgusted Cheng Dagui Wu was with this child before, he also saw it.

Cheng Xi sighed and replied, "For the Chinese New Year, why didn't we go to Mingshui Village for anything?" Forget it, let's go to my mother's house first, although my father doesn't like us to take in a hundred years old, but he is not so ruthless that he will drive us out for the New Year. ”

Xu Sanlang thought about the current situation, so he had to nod, and glanced at Cheng Xi very guiltily, "Let you follow me to be wronged." ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "It's quite aggrieved, so our first task is to make money, and when we earn enough money, we will repair our own houses, and we won't be as homeless as we are now." ”

Speaking of making money, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang worriedly, "Have you taken our money?" ”

Xu Saburo patted his arms, "It's all here." Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, that was the capital for their own business next year.

As they spoke, the two of them were almost at Cheng's house, and at the fork in the road, they happened to meet Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai pulling Cheng Qiang alone, and one carrying a basin and coming from the fork in the road with a black face.

Without waiting for them to speak, Cheng Xi first asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" This black face is about to catch up with the black charcoal. ”

Cheng Chen was about to say that it was okay, so as not to make Cheng Xi sad, and he didn't want Cheng Qiang to speak first, "They said that my sister is also the reincarnation of a broom star, and as soon as she marries her brother-in-law, my brother-in-law's grandfather and grandmother will die, and they also say that my sister and brother-in-law are some ancient stars, and they will be killed if they get involved with you, and then the second brother and the fourth brother quarreled with them." ”

Seeing Cheng Qiang chattering and saying all the words, Cheng Chen glared at Cheng Qiang and hurriedly changed the topic, "These people just owe money, let's ignore them, what are you doing here?" ”

Cheng Xi Xu Saburo finally knew why these people looked at them today and avoided them, it turned out that there were many such rumors, and I don't know who spread them, but the two of them didn't care much about the rumors here, Xu Saburo was used to it for a long time, but Cheng Xi knew that someone must be chewing their tongues behind their backs to calculate them, she wanted to be angry about this matter, and she was not in the hands of others.

Hearing such rumors, Cheng Xi didn't react, but when he heard Cheng Chen ask them what they were doing, Cheng Xi said pitifully to Cheng Chen, "We have no place to go, please take them in." ”

Cheng Chen asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" The Cheng family won't kick you out again, right? ”

Cheng Xi smiled, "We came out by ourselves, but I'm afraid the Xu family will have a hard time this year." ”

Cheng Cai looked at Cheng Xi's conspiracy with a successful smile, it must be that the Xu family was unlucky, swept away the gloom on his face before, and said very excitedly, "What's the matter?" ”

On the side, Cheng Chen saw that a few people were still standing at the fork in the road, and in front of them was his own yard, and opened his mouth to stop a few people from chatting any further, "Let's go back first." ”

Cheng Xi said with some worry, "Dad and Aunt Wu are still angry?" ”

Cheng Chen's brain was flexible, and he knew what Cheng Xi was worried about at a glance, and patted Cheng Xi comfortingly, "Don't worry, I won't drive you out, I'm still talking about it every day for the past two days, I don't know if you are doing well in the Xu family, and whether you have been wronged in the Xu family." ”

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then followed them to the courtyard of the Cheng family, Cheng Cai couldn't wait to know what Cheng Xi did in the Xu family, and urged while walking forward quickly, "Let's go, go back and tell me why the Xu family's year is not good." ”

When the group returned to the Cheng family, Cheng Dagui and the Wu family still didn't say anything, but curiously asked why the two came over in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Cheng Xi told everyone about some things that happened in the Xu family, the Cheng family was originally annoyed with the Xu family's insidious cunning and ruthlessness, and they were a little gloating when they heard the current situation of the Xu family.

Maybe the two of them figured it out, or maybe it was because they saw that the hundred-year-old was particularly well-behaved and sensible, Wu's Cheng Dagui didn't mention the words of letting Xu Sanlang send the hundred-year-old back to the Fan family after all, and then the family got together to eat the New Year's dinner, and Cheng Xi finally felt a little bit of the taste of the New Year.

At the end of the day, it was Xu Lan who packed up Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang's things and sent them over, Cheng Dagui Wu looked at it in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "You two didn't go over empty-handed, why did you have so many extra things?" ”

Cheng Xi winked proudly at the Wu family, and responded, "Isn't this that the Xu family feels sorry for us and has bought us a lot of things." ”

Wu Shi heard the paper twitching in the corner of his eyes, if the Xu family would feel sorry for them, it is estimated that the sun will come out in the west, I am afraid that Cheng Xi took the opportunity to come from the Xu family.

After Xu Lan delivered the things, she was not in a hurry to leave, she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and seemed to be in a hurry.

Cheng Xi thought that Xu Lan was worried that they wouldn't take her away, so she was in a hurry, so she said with a smile, "You pack your things earlier, and we'll call you when we leave." ”

Xu Lan paused, then looked at the other people in the room, and then whispered, "Third sister-in-law, I have something to tell you." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Lan with a mysterious look that seemed to be unspeakable, and finally stood up, beckoned Xu Lan to the courtyard, and responded, "But something?" Go ahead. ”

Xu Lan lowered her voice and whispered, "I heard the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt quarrel today, the fourth aunt said, the fourth aunt said, the fourth aunt said, hey, you still don't want to go back, let's leave early after the New Year." ”

Cheng Xi was puzzled, "What did the fourth aunt say?" Slurred. ”

Xu Lan gritted her teeth, and finally said in a low voice, "When the fourth aunt quarreled with the fourth uncle, the fourth aunt said that who didn't know the fourth uncle's thoughts, even you, even your half-old child, the fourth uncle had a crooked mind about the eldest sister-in-law, and only then did he force the eldest brother and sister-in-law away." ”

After saying that, Xu Lan was already blushing and her eyes were red, it was true that this kind of thing was really difficult for a little girl like Xu Lan to talk about, so she would blush, and she was afraid that she would be sad to think of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, so she also had red eyes.

Cheng Xi was also quite surprised, but now he is indeed only a half-grown child, although Xu Wenyu is insidious and cunning, but he is not like a person who is in a hurry, could it be that Cheng Fang said nonsense when he quarreled with Xu Wenyu?

So Cheng Xi opened his mouth and asked, "Then what did your fourth uncle say?" ”

Xu Lan took a deep breath and said, "The fourth uncle told the fourth aunt to shut up, saying that if it was bad for him, the fourth aunt would be divorced." ”

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, could it really mean this? But whether it means this or not, Cheng Xi will not let him succeed, and he feels that people like Xu Wenyu are very disgusting.

Cheng Xi said to Xu Lan, "Thank you for telling me this, you go back first, we will leave in two days, and I will inform you when the time comes, you pack up your things and wait." ”

Xu Lan saw that Cheng Xi had listened, and exchanged a few more words with Cheng Xi, and then turned around and left.

Cheng Xi sent Xu Lan away, closed the courtyard door and entered the house, Cheng Cai in the house was the most breathless, and asked curiously, "The gods are mysterious, but what happened to the Xu family?" ”

Cheng Xi didn't want everyone to know about this matter, if she knew, she was afraid that she would worry about her again, so she hid other emotions on her face, and said with a smile, "It's okay, Xu Lan saw that we came out of the Xu family, and she was a little worried that we wouldn't take her away." ”

Xu Sanlang noticed the strange expression on Cheng Xi's face, looked at Cheng Xi, thoughtful.

After that, the family stayed at home, ate dumplings, kept the New Year, the room was full of laughter, warmth, this scene, unconsciously evoked Cheng Xi's memories, remembering the relatives in the previous life, the scene of the New Year, she was the little princess who was loved by her family in her hand, but now, she was working hard for survival, calculating, rushing, and suddenly homesick.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the two children who were laughing, only Xu Sanlang noticed the change in Cheng Xi, looking at the thick sadness in Cheng Xi's eyes, he was very puzzled, with his family, he should be happy, why is there such a sad emotion?

But Xu Saburo finally pretended not to see it, at this time, such an atmosphere is not suitable and does not want to be broken.

Because of the custom of keeping the New Year, Cheng Xi stayed up for most of the night in a groggy manner, and only in the second half of the night did everyone go back to the house to sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the juniors originally wanted to go to every family to pay New Year's greetings, but Cheng Xi Xu Saburo didn't plan to do so, they went to pay New Year's greetings, plus the rumors like yesterday, I'm afraid that no family will welcome it, so Cheng Xi simply couldn't afford it, and pulled the hundred years old to continue to sleep in bed.

This is not the Xu family, Xu Sanlang got up early and went out to help with the work, I just hope that my performance can be recognized by the Cheng family.

Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai also took Cheng Qiang out to pay New Year's greetings to various households early in the morning, but they came back with a black face after a while, Wu looked at Cheng Chen, who had always been calm, with a black face, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Why did you come back so early? ”
