CHAPTER XXXVIII

couldn't take advantage of it, and the old lady Xu, who was angry and ruthless, was unwilling to scold herself by Cheng Xi like this, and the old lady Xu, who was angry with Cheng Xi and basically lost her mind, almost forgot how ruthless Cheng Xi used to be, and rushed towards Cheng Xi angrily.

Cheng Dagui on the side looked at Mrs. Xu who rushed towards her daughter, and said anxiously, "What do you want to do?" But because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he couldn't stand up at all, and he couldn't stop Mrs. Xu.

Cheng Xi raised her eyebrows indifferently, just let the old lady be alone, she was not afraid of what this rickety little old lady could do to herself.

Cheng Xi gave his father a reassuring look, and then stood in place with a calm face with his hands on his chest, but Cheng Dagui couldn't let go at all, and said to Cheng Qiang, who was scared and didn't dare to make a sound, "Go and call your mother." ”

At the same time as Cheng Dagui spoke, Mrs. Xu had already rushed in front of Cheng Xi, raised her hands and prepared to pounce on Cheng Xi, this posture seemed to throw Cheng Xi to the ground.

It's just that at the moment when Cheng Dagui was worried that Cheng Xi was going to be knocked down, the situation suddenly changed, and he saw Cheng Xi quickly dodge, and then disappeared in front of Mrs. Xu and stood next to him, but Mrs. Xu, who rushed towards Cheng Xi, saw that the person in front of her was gone, but her body was no longer able to contain it, so she threw herself towards the ground in front of her, and had a close contact with the ground, even if her arms supported her body, but because she was too angry, she pounced on Cheng Xi with too much force, too much force, I also fell enough.

Cheng Dagui on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time saw Mrs. Xu who fell to the ground, and was very relieved.

Cheng Xi deliberately looked at Mrs. Xu, who had been on the ground for a while and had not eased her breath, and said in a fuss, "Ouch, why did you fall to the ground?" After all, it's old, so you still have to be careful when walking, and if you fall well, you won't have a few days to live. ”

Mrs. Xu sat up, shook her sore arm, and looked at Cheng Xi with a vicious look in her eyes, "You cheap girl, if you wait for me, I don't believe I can't clean you up." ”

After a fall, Mrs. Xu, who was in pain, finally regained her senses, knowing that she would definitely not be able to please Cheng Xi alone, so she decided to leave first, and then settle the account with her when she found a helper, and then put a cruel word, and after finishing speaking, she stood up, turned around and supported her waist and legs, and limped out of the door.

Cheng Xi only noticed the package on Mrs. Xu's back at this time, Cheng Dagui also saw the burden behind Mrs. Xu, and waited until Mrs. Xu went out of the door, Cheng Dagui said worriedly, "This old lady is afraid that she is going to go to the county with you, look at the luggage on her back, but you are afraid that you will offend her fiercely today, you must be careful in the future, you girl, why did you just go against the old lady like this, you can't bear it?" ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "I guess I want to follow us to the county to find her Xiucai son who is an official, I also want to endure the calm for a while, but the experience of the first few times tells me that it is impossible, the more I follow her, the more she is afraid of tossing me, and she will still toss me, and sooner or later she will have to be tossed to death, in this case, why should I give her a good face." ”

Cheng Dagui listened to Cheng Xi's words, and said with a distressed face, "Did she beat you before?" But how? ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "How is it possible, Dad, do you think I will let her hit me?" ”

Cheng Dagui sighed, "Hey, it's useless for your father to let you suffer this kind of crime, this old lady is the most resentful, I'm afraid I'm going to make you stumble in the future, you must be careful, this old lady is very ruthless." ”

Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "Don't worry, I will be careful myself, and it will be fine." ”

At this time, Wu and Xu Sanlang came in from outside the courtyard at a trot, both of them looked worried, and they were relieved to see that everything was okay in the courtyard.

Wu breathed a sigh of relief before asking, "Are you okay?" Old Lady Xu is gone? ”

Cheng Dagui frowned slightly and said, "You can't pay attention when you speak, that's an elder." ”

Although he doesn't want to see the Xu family, and he doesn't like Xu Saburo, it is an indisputable fact that his daughter insists on following Xu Sanlang, even if he wants to deny it, he can't deny this son-in-law, and Mrs. Xu is Xu Saburo's grandmother, even if she is no longer welcomed, it is also a fact that cannot be changed.

Wu Shi was not polite at all, and replied, "Fart elders, there is no appearance of elders at all, you know to toss the juniors, Xi girl, the old woman is gone?" She didn't do anything to you, did she? ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "I'm worried about you, everyone is angry with me, and we're fine." ”

Wu gave Cheng Xi an approving look and said, "It's not too early, you better hurry back to the county seat, lest the old woman bring rescue soldiers to trouble you in a while." ”

Cheng Xi thought about the cruel words that Mrs. Xu put down when she left, and said with some worry, "When we leave, the old lady is afraid that she will come to you for trouble." ”

Wu Shi snorted coldly and responded, "As long as you are not here, I have my own way to deal with it, hurry up and pack up and leave, if you are here, she wants to target you, I can't help it." ”

Although Cheng Xi was not afraid that Mrs. Xu would bring rescuers over, she didn't want to continue to entangle with Mrs. Xu, so she nodded and said to Xu Sanlang on the side, "You go and change your clothes, I'll clean up, let's go." ”

After Xu Sanlang made sure that Cheng Xi was fine, he kept standing aside and did not express his opinion, and when he heard Cheng Xi talking to him, he nodded and changed his clothes as Cheng Xi said.

In fact, there was nothing to clean up, the two of them cleaned up in twos and threes, and then left Shiqiao Village under the reluctant gaze of the Cheng family.

At this time, the sun was really tight, because Cheng Xi's own exercise during this time, his physical fitness was much better than before, but because he was tired from a day of work yesterday, and the sun was too hot, when he walked to the official road leading to the county seat, Cheng Xi was tired and sweaty.

found a big tree on the side of the road, Cheng Xi sat in the shade under the tree to rest and enjoy the shade, and said to Xu Sanlang, who was still unchanged on the side, "Let's go to the town to see if Uncle Wang is there, such a big sun, I really want to go to the county seat, and it is estimated that it will be night." Cheng Xi was even more worried that he would suffer from heat stroke, but he didn't say it.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's tanned red face and the sweat on his forehead, and nodded in response.

Because of the relationship between Cheng Xi and Wang Ying, Uncle Wang gradually stopped treating Cheng Xi and his family as outsiders, and originally had no plans to go to the county seat, but when he heard that the two were going back to the county seat, he set up an ox cart and followed them to the county seat.

On the ox cart, Xu Sanlang asked, "My milk, what is she, what is she doing?" I stammered, I was afraid that I couldn't help but ask after holding it in my heart for a long time.

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, "Carrying a burden, I guess I want to go to the county seat with us." ”

Xu Saburo frowned, "Why are you arguing?" ”

Cheng Xi pouted, "Who knows how she will toss along the way, I don't want to go with her." ”

Xu Saburo said, "In the future, I won't provoke my milk." ”

Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang angrily, and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by messing with her, when did I provoke her?" If she doesn't come to provoke me, I'll be Amitabha. What do you mean? Your grandmother is making trouble for me, is this to blame? ”

Xu Sanlang didn't expect this sentence to provoke Cheng Xi to go crazy, and explained incoherently, "No, I didn't mean that, I milk her, hey, if you provoke her, it will make our lives difficult after all." ”

Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang, "You said how could you have such a grandmother, anyway, it is impossible for me to coexist peacefully with her, whether you provoke her or not, why do you have to endure her bullying me, I don't believe it, what else can she do to me." ”

Xu Sanlang was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "My grandmother can't help it, my fourth uncle always has a way." ”

Cheng Xi's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Sanlang, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle, isn't it the Xu family Xiucai who became the chief bookkeeper in the county government, before Mrs. Xu hadn't pried the door of the thatched house because of his relationship, and Xu Sanlang's fourth aunt was her aunt who gave her steamed buns, Cheng Xi always thought that Xu Sanlang, the fourth uncle who was admitted to Xiucai, was a good person, so what did Xu Sanlang mean by this sentence just now?

Xu Sanlang was stared at by Cheng Xi for a while before he spoke, "The fourth uncle will always help with the milk." ”

Cheng Xi was still glaring, "You mean that no matter whether it's right or wrong, your fourth uncle will help your milk, if your milk wants to deal with me and make trouble for me, your fourth uncle will also help your milk?" ”

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and remained silent, but Cheng Xi felt that the whole person was not good, what he thought before was suddenly overthrown, and then thinking that Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle was still the master of the county government, Cheng Xi was even more depressed, and the expression on his face was as if he had eaten a yellow lotus, wrinkled into a ball, and he didn't bother to continue to be angry with Xu Sanlang.
