Chapter Ninety-Nine: Worth a Tael of Silver

When Cheng Xi made the egg custard and went to the main house, he saw a strange man, sitting next to his eldest sister Cheng Hui with a restrained and cautious face, the man looked like a white-faced scholar, and he looked quite handsome, this should be Cheng Hui's husband Tian Zhanfei, her eldest brother-in-law.

Cheng Xi handed the egg custard in his hand to the old lady who was diligent to feed the child, and then turned his head to greet Tian Zhanfei with a smile, "This should be the eldest brother-in-law, right?" ”

Tian Zhanfei hurriedly got up and gave Cheng Xi a salute, "Second sister." ”

Cheng Xi hurriedly jumped away and waved his hand, "My family, you don't have to be so polite. ”

The old lady who was feeding the child on the side snorted coldly, but she didn't open her mouth to refute, Tian Zhanfei sat down with a little embarrassment on his face, from the moment he entered the door, the old lady didn't pay attention to him, the first time he made a sound, but it was a cold snort, he didn't expect the old lady to let him in the door, he was not prepared at all, he was really at a loss at this time.

The child is young and a little skinny, always moving restlessly in the old lady's arms, and from time to time he glances at his father's side, and Cheng Hui on the side saw that the old lady was a little busy feeding the child alone, so she went over to help.

Tian Zhanfei sat awkwardly, and didn't know how to speak, Cheng Dagui on the side couldn't look at it at all, so he said with a smile, "Are you okay at home?" ”

Tian Zhanfei hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you second uncle for your concern, it's all good, my mother is still chattering, when will I take you over to sit down." ”

The old lady finally spoke, but it was a mocking opening, "People who are not three, they can't speak, what is there to sit on." ”

A trace of injury flashed in Tian Zhanfei's eyes, and he stopped talking.

Cheng Dagui couldn't look at it, and finally said to the old lady helplessly, "Mother, it's all a family, why bother." ”

The old lady didn't speak again, she was concentrating on holding the child in her arms, Cheng Xi said with a smile, "My nephew's name is Bao'er, he looks very handsome, he must have followed his father." ”

Cheng Hui responded with a smile, "It's all said that the big name is Tian Zheng, and Bao'er is the nickname that Zhanfei gave him." ”

The old lady looked at the child in her arms, she really looked good, her face was better, and then the topic had been revolving around the child, but the old lady didn't show her face to Tian Zhanfei again, and Tian Zhanfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There were guests at home, Wu and Ma couldn't come back for a while, Cheng Xi couldn't go to the restaurant for the time being, so he had to stay at home to make lunch, Yu wanted to help, but because she was pregnant, and she tore with Zhang's before, Cheng Xi didn't let her into the kitchen, and finally Cheng Xi and Cheng Hui were busy making lunch in the kitchen.

Cheng Hui watched Cheng Xi skillfully busy in front of the stove, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I didn't expect that after a few years, you have become so capable, and when I leave, you can't even steam a steamed bun." ”

Cheng Xi heard Cheng Xi's emotion, and remembered that when he first came, in addition to the first-hand cooking skills he had learned, he didn't know anything, but now he has to do everything himself, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Life is compelling, what can I do if I don't do it?" ”

Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Xi, who was not yet in time, with such an adult appearance, and said with some distress, "How did you marry that Xu Sanlang?" And I didn't even send a message to me when I got married. ”

Cheng Xi couldn't figure out the bend where the predecessor was sent to the Xu family at the beginning, but thinking about the silver dowry, he couldn't help but say with some self-deprecation, "Isn't this a dowry with one or two silver?" ”

Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Xi speechlessly, "So you married the Xu family because of a dowry of one or two silver." ”

Cheng Xi nodded while busy in the pot, Cheng Hui's eyes widened, "Second Uncle will actually agree?" ”

Cheng Xi sighed and responded, "At that time, my father fell his leg and was in a coma, and Aunt Wu was not there, forget it, don't talk about it, it's long gone, but you, eldest sister, are you really doing well?" In front of Cheng Hui, Cheng Xi couldn't say that her mother was not.

Cheng Hui heard Cheng Xi ask herself, so she sighed helplessly, "Usually life is not bad, except for the tigress of the Tian family who comes to make a disgusting scene from time to time." ”

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, to be honest, she was also very indifferent to this kind of junior, but in front of Cheng Hui, it was not easy to say anything.

Cheng Hui saw Cheng Xi's expression in her eyes, and knew that Cheng Xi was afraid that she would also look down on her mother-in-law, so she said, "My mother-in-law is actually a good person, she was forcibly occupied by Tian Zhanfei and his father back then, so he was born, and then he raised Tian Zhanfei with his duty. ”

Cheng Xi heard Cheng Hui's words, pursed his mouth, and couldn't help but complain, "This evil old society." ”

Cheng Hui was a little puzzled, and looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, Cheng Xi smiled and changed the topic, "The dish is ready, turn off the heat, just wait for Aunt Wu and the fourth aunt to come back for dinner." ”

After putting the prepared meals in the steamer and warming them, Cheng Xi called Cheng Hui to plan to go to the main hall, but Cheng Hui suddenly grabbed Cheng Xi who wanted to leave, and asked in a hesitant whisper, "......How is my mother's business?"

Cheng Xi stopped, turned to look at Cheng Hui, and saw Cheng Hui's red eyes looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, and sighed helplessly, it is really annoying to be a child with such a mother.

"Don't tell anyone about this yet, I'll take the time to go back to the village."

Cheng Hui raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Xi, "You go back?" Can it be done, my grandmother and their family ......, forget it, I'll go over again and persuade my mother. ”

Cheng Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Can you persuade you to move?" ”

Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Xi in front of her, she was obviously a few years younger than herself, and she was her sister, but this aura was like she was her sister, and she shook off those messy thoughts, Cheng Hui said, "Can you be useful when you go back?" ”

Cheng Xi snorted coldly, "To clean up a group of scoundrels, naturally you can only use the method of scoundrels." ”

Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Xi worriedly, Cheng Xi wanted to pat Cheng Hui's shoulder, but his height was not enough, so he had to pat Cheng Hui's arm instead, and responded, "Don't worry, I won't suffer, for your sake, I won't do anything to your mother, as for the people of the Zhang family, I won't guarantee it." ”

Cheng Hui thought that Cheng Xi had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about you, they are very, very difficult to entangle." ”

Cheng Xi liked the honesty and cheerfulness of this eldest sister, and responded with a smile, "Got it, let's go, go to the main house to see the child." ”

went to the main hall and waited for a while, but before Aunt Wu and the fourth aunt came back, Cheng Xi was a little worried, usually at this time, Aunt Wu and the fourth aunt should have been sold out and returned.

The old lady was also a little worried, "Could it be that the baked cakes are not selling well today?" ”

Cheng Xi stood up and said as he walked out, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

As soon as he walked to the mouth of the alley, he saw Xu Sanlang pushing the cart and coming back with Wu's Ma family, Cheng Xi waited for them to come over, and asked, "Why is it so late today, the baked cakes are not easy to sell?" ”

Wu shook his head, "Someone is looking for trouble, but when Xu Saburo comes over, it's all solved." After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Sanlang, who was silent, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Cheng Xi asked curiously, "Who is looking for trouble?" ”

On the side, Ma Shi replied, "A few street gangsters. ”

Wu slowed down, grabbed Cheng Xi at the same time, and fell behind before he leaned into Cheng Xi's ear and said, "You tell me honestly, is Xu Sanlang doing things in the restaurant?" How do you know people who don't know each other? ”

Cheng Xi asked suspiciously, "Someone who is not three-in-four?" ”

Wu nodded.

Who can Xu Sanlang know, how could Cheng Xi not know, just think about it a little, and respond with a smile, "Aunt Wu, you think too much, but do you remember the rest of the fortune I said before?" He is a well-known snake in this county, probably because of him, those people know us. ”

Cheng Xi was very glad that Xu Sanlang saved Yu Zhaocai at this time, since he knew him, he had blocked a lot of trouble for them, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in this county in the future, with his people taking care of him, it would definitely be much smoother.

It's just that Cheng Xi is a little strange, he went to Fucheng a few years ago, saying that he would come back after the New Year, this is fourteen, why haven't you seen anyone yet? This guy didn't deal with the people in his family in the first place, so he couldn't go and be reluctant to come back.

Wu Shi heard Cheng Xi's words, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them quickened their pace and caught up with Xu Sanlang and Ma in front.

Xu Sanlang, who had been silent, glanced up at Cheng Xi and asked, "Why didn't you go to the restaurant?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Is there nothing wrong with the restaurant?" Guests came to the house. ”

Cheng Xi glanced at the Wu family and the Ma family before he continued, "The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law came over with their children. ”

Wu and Ma were a little surprised when they heard Cheng Xi's words, and then Wu asked, "Your milk didn't make trouble, right?" ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "No, my grandmother likes that child, and only said a few cool words." ”

Wu said, "That's good." ”

Cheng Xi quickened his pace, "Hurry up, lunch has already been ready, and I have been waiting for you." ”

When Mrs. Cheng saw that Xu Sanlang also came back with Cheng Xi, her face instantly darkened again, and she slapped her thigh with a sharp voice and shouted, "What kind of evil did my Cheng family's daughter do." ”

The old lady sarcastically mocked Tian Zhanfei before, and Cheng Dagui would persuade her loudly, but at this time, seeing that the old lady saw Xu Sanlang start to make trouble again, she felt a little uncomfortable, and said with a black face, "It's not thanks to my mother." ”

This meant something, which made the old lady remember that Cheng Xi married into the Xu family and she was also involved, so she was a little embarrassed and didn't continue to make trouble, and said to a few people in the house, "Since they're all back, hurry up and prepare for lunch." ”

Cheng Hui and Tian Zhanfei were looking at Xu Sanlang in the courtyard, and Cheng Hui and Tian Zhanfei were very surprised to see someone coming.

The most surprising thing is Cheng Hui, she has seen Xu Sanlang, but that was a few years ago, seeing that Xu Sanlang has changed so much today, she can't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder Cheng Xi is willing to live with Xu Sanlang, this kind of appearance is much stronger than the men in his family.
