Cheng Xi looked at Mrs. Xu and Li, who were singing like a big play, and rolled her eyes.

The old lady Xu on the side also took out the posture of an old lady and took over Li's words, "The old man has allowed you to go to the county seat?" Let me stay in the village and work, otherwise my mother will want you to look good. ”

Hearing the old lady Xu's more and more nondescript words, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sneer, seeing the old lady's cold eyes drifting towards him, Cheng Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block his mouth, lowered his head and tried to reduce his existence, lest the old lady transfer all her anger to herself.

It's just that Cheng Xi's laughter was too abrupt, but it still attracted the attention of the old lady, and just when the old lady was angry and was about to scold, Xu Sanlang spoke up in time and said, "There is a salary every month." ”

As soon as she heard that she was rich, Mrs. Xu's attention was really diverted, she turned her head to look at Xu Sanlang, and said with bright eyes, "How much in a month?" ”

Xu Saburo said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be too low." ”

Old Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up with gold and asked, "Where are you working, and I'll help you see it when I go to the county seat to see your fourth uncle." ”

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and frowned slightly, and didn't speak again, Cheng Xi was worried that Xu Sanlang told Mrs. Xu honestly, and when the time came, Mrs. Xu really ran over to make trouble, and only after hearing that Xu Saburo didn't speak, he put his mind at ease.

Xu Erlang, who had been silent on the side, stepped forward at this time and said, "Grandma asked you, why didn't you speak?" Milk, I think they just want to hide in the county town, and they don't have to do farm work at home, you look at it, ask him where he is, and he can't speak. ”

As for the little Jiujiu in Xu Erlang's heart, where would Cheng Xi not know, she despised such a lazy man the most, so she stood up first and glanced at Xu Erlang with disdain, "Aren't you still working on the farm at home, or are you going to go out to work to earn money?" Then let Xu Saburo stay and do farm work. ”

Xu Erlang glared at Cheng Xi dissatisfied, "Did the milk let you get up?" ”

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Cheng Xi with gloomy eyes, but Cheng Xi didn't plan to continue kneeling anyway, she still thought that if she could endure it, she would endure it, and more things were better than less things, so she was too lazy to be knowledgeable with these people, but now she looked at this difficult Xu family, and she didn't know how long she would continue to kneel.

Xu Sanlang spoke again and interrupted Mrs. Xu, who was about to rush Cheng Xi to get mad, "Milk, my daughter-in-law and I will pay you five hundred big money every month." ”

Old Mrs. Xu heard that there were actually five hundred big money a month, her eyes were shining, and her heart had already measured, Cheng Xi's previous words reminded the old lady that there are so many people in the family, and there is no one to worry about working in the field, but the five hundred big money per month does not mean that there can be one.

And when the fourth child left today, he also said that he needed enough money to take care of the relationship, and now the situation of the Xu family, Mrs. Xu is the most clear, the rest of the family's money has basically been given to the fourth, but the fourth child said that it is still too far behind.

If you want the fourth child to go to the next level, you need more money, but in addition to the income in the field, the rest is Xu Dalang's wages for working outside, and in a year, it adds up to a maximum of ten taels of silver, but I didn't expect this Xu Sanlang to go out to work, which is more than Xu Dalang's salary, how can he not make him blush.

Xu Erlang listened to Xu Sanlang's ability to earn five hundred dollars a month, and he was envious and jealous, and the money couldn't reach his hands, how did he feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but sneer, "Five hundred Wen? I see that you are going to the county to brag happily to get rid of your family, this big brother doesn't have 500 wen a month, and you can get 500 wen for the first time you go to the county to work? ”

Cheng Cai on the side looked at Xu Erlang's mocking face, and said disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is like you, you can't do anything, and you are still self-righteous." ”

The Li family on the side saw that the old lady's complexion changed, and hurriedly pulled Xu Erlang, who was going to continue to quarrel with Cheng Cai, for his mother-in-law, this Li family knows a lot, maybe other things will help his son step on Xu Sanlang's feet, but when it comes to money, it is her mother-in-law's bottom line, and no one can touch it.

Seeing Xu Erlang on the side, she obediently stopped her mouth, and Mrs. Xu was satisfied, and said to Xu Sanlang, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Then you will go to the county seat to work, five hundred yuan a month, one cannot be less, and your daughter-in-law will stay at home to work." ”

Cheng Xi directly and unceremoniously replied, "You think beautifully." ”

Mrs. Xu slapped Cheng Xi with a gloomy face, Cheng Xi was about to reach out to stop her, but Xu Sanlang, who didn't want to be on the ground, actually moved one step faster than Cheng Xi, stood up and stopped in front of Cheng Xi, and Mrs. Xu's slap happened to be on the arm of Xu Sanlang, who was protecting Cheng Xi.

Mrs. Xu was still counting on Xu Sanlang to make money for her, but it was rare that she didn't beat and scold Xu Sanlang like before, but said with a gloomy face, "Get out of the way." ”

Xu Saburo didn't get out of the way, but said, "I'm going to take her with me." ”

Old Lady Xu's voice gradually became louder, "You dare to disobey your elders? Whoever does the work at home is gone, she must stay at home to work. ”

Cheng Xi sneered, poked his head out from behind Xu Sanlang, and said, "You said you want me to stay, I have to stay?" Bad-hearted old woman, she doesn't give a bite of food, and she still wants me to work for you, dream about you, and I will burn down your house in a hurry. ”

Cheng Chen saw that his sister was getting more and more outrageous, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by the Wu family on the side.

Mrs. Xu, who finally calmed down, was glared at by Cheng Xi's angry beard again, "Uneducated little girl, see that I don't clean you up today, you get out of the way for me." ”

Cheng Xi looked at this shameless old woman, she was completely too lazy to deal with her, anyway, she wouldn't give herself a good face, she simply tore her face and was happy with herself, "You think I'm afraid of you?" That's because you're old, and you don't have the same knowledge as you, so you really think you're so good? Cut! ”

The more she listened, the more angry Mrs. Xu became, bypassing Xu Sanlang and rushing towards Cheng Xi, but was stopped by Xu Sanlang, "She also found something to do in the county, and there are 100 Wen every month." ”

Sure enough, money is the most convincing, and Mrs. Xu, who was still angry, immediately forgot to clean up Cheng Xi's affairs, but looked Cheng Xi up and down with a suspicious attitude, "What can a little girl do?" Are you telling the truth? ”

Xu Saburo nodded, "Wash the dishes in the restaurant." ”

Hearing that it was washing dishes, Mrs. Xu said in surprise, "Washing dishes costs 100 wen a month?" ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then you bring all the girls in the family over to wash the dishes." ”

Xu Sanlang was speechless when he heard this, but he still frowned and responded, "Just two of them, my sisters are going, let's ask the fourth uncle." ”

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Sanlang dissatisfiedly, and when she saw that Xu Sanlang couldn't see anything on his face, she gave up, and said, "Six hundred wen a month, and pay it on time every month, otherwise." ”

glared at Xu Sanlang in warning, and then turned to the Xu family behind him and said, "Go back, what are you doing here at night, a group of lazy people, the grain is not hoeed, and tomorrow they will go to work in the valley to ......."

Under the leadership of Mrs. Xu's scolding, the Xu family gradually disappeared into the wall of the Xu family's house, and the Wu family spat in the direction where the Xu family left, and scolded, "Dead old woman, shameless." ”

Although he has to pay 600 wen a month, he finally sent Mrs. Xu away, it seems that if he gives money for the time being, he will not trouble them again, although Cheng Xi feels sorry for the hard-earned money, thinking that he can have a temporary peaceful life in the future, he doesn't care, as long as he works hard, this money can be earned again.

"Let's go, let's go back first." Cheng Xi beckoned everyone and went to the thatched house together.

Seeing the door of the thatched house in the moonlight, the iron lock was actually good, which made Cheng Xi a little surprised, and couldn't help but sigh, "The door hasn't been pried." ”

Wu Shi behind him snorted coldly, "I think the old woman is not available, she only sent away that Xiucai's son in the afternoon, and her Xiucai daughter-in-law is from the Cheng family, so she has to save some face." ”

Xu Saburo took out the key and stepped forward to open the door, lit the oil lamp, and the things at home were still there, so everyone began to clean up, and when they finished cleaning up, looking at the empty thatched house, Wu said with disgust, "All the clothes and everything are packed up, you two go back to live, just this broken house, there is nothing, how to live in people." ”

Wu's tone of non-refusal was that he had no intention of discussing with the two of them at all, and after speaking, he had already begun to pack up his clothes for the two, and Xu Sanlang, who originally wanted to refuse, had to shut up.

Cheng Xi knew the awkwardness in Xu Sanlang's heart, and whispered comfortingly, "Anyway, I have to leave the day after tomorrow, and it's not a long stay, just help with a day's work tomorrow." ”

Xu Saburo nodded and stopped talking, he didn't expect this to go so smoothly, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, those are his relatives, maybe there is no harm if there is no comparison, once the Xu family has always had such an attitude towards him, after a long time, he gradually got used to it.

But since he came into contact with the Cheng family and watched the Cheng family get along, he felt how pathetic he was, the grandmother who only had money in his eyes, the brother who added fuel to the fire, and the aunt who turned a blind eye, those were all his relatives, but in their eyes, he never saw a trace of care from his relatives, only disgust.

He hoped to have a family like the Cheng family, but he was worried, worried that all this was an illusion, and he didn't know when it would dissipate in front of his eyes.
