Everyone looked at such a weird Cheng Xi in surprise, Zhang looked at Cheng Xi like this, but fear appeared on his face, and even the crying was stopped in time, Mrs. Cheng also appeared afraid on her face at this time, it was really Cheng Xi who left a deep impression on her when she chased Zhang just now.

The first to react was Zhang's, who looked clumsy but flexibly got up from the ground, and quickly went in the direction of his house, as for Mrs. Cheng, she completely forgot about her existence.

And Mrs. Cheng saw that her eldest daughter-in-law was leaving like this, and she panicked, and the short rickety figure could be regarded as moving quickly, and she chased after her quickly, but she didn't want to lose her momentum in front of the younger generation, so she said loudly while leaving, "The second family, teach this cheap girl who is not big or small, I'll go and see if the old family is hurt." ”

Wu spitted at the departing mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with disdain, and waved his hand to everyone at the door, "Enter the house and eat." ”

Cheng Xi, who originally planned to leave, watched that the disturbing farce had stopped, and everyone who should have left had left, and the original plan to go to the town with Xu Sanlang was also temporarily shelved, and Cheng Cai still pulled him into the house.

When Cheng Xi walked to the door, he found that Xu Sanlang was still standing there and didn't move, and was about to open his mouth to call him, but he didn't want Wu to speak first, and said to Xu Sanlang unceremoniously, "What are you doing there with a pestle like a log, hurry up and eat in the house, it's so tossed early in the morning, I'm hungry." ”

It can be clearly heard that Wu's tone is very brisk, and he seems to be in a good mood, it seems that it is because he saw Mrs. Cheng and the Zhang family deflated, otherwise Cheng Xi really couldn't imagine that there was anything worthy of Wu's happiness this morning.

When he returned to Cheng's house again, everyone sat at the table, and Cheng Dagui was also carried out by Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai, and sat in the first place, this time Cheng Dagui did not mention Xu Sanlang's hard life.

Everyone sat down around the table, but no one spoke, Cheng Dagui sat without moving, and the others did not dare to move the chopsticks first, and the table fell into an embarrassment for a while.

Cheng Xi glanced at his father who was sitting in the first place, his face was not good, he didn't seem to be planning to speak, Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai on the opposite side both lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking, Cheng Qiang was the youngest, but he was looking at the food and swallowing saliva on the table, and no one opened his mouth to break the embarrassment for a while.

It wasn't until Wu came over from the stove house with a bowl of soup and looked at everyone sitting in a daze, that he said in a loud voice, "What are you doing in a daze, the food is cold, and you still don't eat it?" ”

Cheng Dagui picked up the chopsticks sullenly and ate them, and the others followed suit to eat.

In fact, the meal was not very good, but it was also the most sumptuous meal Cheng Xi had ever seen since he came here, so he fried a few dishes and a bowl of broth with a few slices of meat.

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang were not very hungry because they had eaten roast chicken on the mountain early in the morning, and they were unhurriedly picking up the multigrain rice in the bowl.

Although Cheng Dagui's face was not good, he still reached out and put a few pieces of meat in the broth and put them in Cheng Xi's bowl, it seems that Cheng Dagui really cherishes this daughter.

Cheng Xi, who had already eaten roast chicken in the morning, didn't want to eat these slices of boiled fat, but he was afraid that his father would be unhappy, so he didn't want to eat a piece, so he kept a piece for himself, and the rest was sandwiched into the bowl of his youngest brother Cheng Qiang.

A breakfast, although the food was dull, it was quite harmonious, and there was no stubble.

But after such a commotion in the morning, now looking at Cheng Dagui, the original body of Cheng Dagui who was sitting in the first place with a cold face and only three big words of unhappy written on him, Cheng Xi didn't know what to do, whether to be a coquettish and cute to please this father, or simply called Xu Sanlang to flash together?

I don't know why my father, who was still happy when he looked at him, suddenly became unhappy with a straight face, could it be that he found out that he was not the same person as the original Cheng Xi?

No way! Cheng Xi decisively denied this conjecture, unless he said it himself, no one would find out about it, and even if he said it himself, I am afraid that no one would believe it. Even if you find something different, at most you will tell the doctor that you will be stupid if you hit your head.

Just when Cheng Xi was still lowering his head and wondering why this father was unhappy, Cheng Dagui, who was sitting in the first place, finally spoke, "Xi'er, do you know what is wrong?" ”

"Huh?" Cheng Xi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was stunned by Cheng Dagui's question, and didn't react for a while.

Cheng Dagui's face was a little dark, but he still asked again in a stern tone, "Do you know what is wrong?" ”

Cheng Xi really didn't know what was wrong with what the newly appointed father said for him, but seeing that this father seemed to be very unhappy, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to stammer, "Know, know the mistake." ”

Cheng Dagui looked at Cheng Xi's ignorant expression, and said with a dark face, "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Xi hesitated, "Wrong, wrong......, wrong" can stammer, where can you tell where the mistake is, Cheng Xi sighed and stretched out his hand to support his forehead.

Cheng Xi's actions also made Cheng Dagui notice the red slap on Cheng Xi's face that had not yet dissipated and the wound on his head, his heart softened, he sighed, and said earnestly, "Xi'er, no matter what, your aunt is an elder, and you shouldn't do anything with the elders, you know?" ”

Cheng Qiang, who was in the first place, interjected in a low voice, "There are still slap marks on my sister's face, it must be the eldest aunt's sister who is embarrassed first, otherwise how could my sister do something with her?" ”

Cheng Dagui glared at Cheng Qiang, Cheng Qiang quickly closed his mouth and shrank behind his eldest brother, Cheng Dagui looked away with satisfaction, looked at Cheng Xi who lowered his head again, and continued, "Xi'er, remember not to do anything with the elders in the future, otherwise you will be poked in the back, you know?" ”

Cheng Xi nodded obediently and whispered, "Got it." ”

Seeing that Cheng Xi looked well-behaved and careful, he was already distressed about this only daughter, where was Cheng Dagui willing to continue preaching, and said in a very soft tone, "Does your face hurt?" Does the wound on the head still hurt? ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, but Cheng Dagui still said to Cheng Chen on the side uneasily, "You go and invite your Uncle Huang over for lunch, and by the way, give Miss Xi a look at the wound on her head." ”

Cheng Chen remembered how weird he looked when Cheng Xi and the Zhang family had a conflict before, and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Dad, I'll help you into the house to rest first, Uncle Huang said that your body needs to recuperate." ”

After several people worked together to send Cheng Dagui back to the bed in the house and lie down, Cheng Xi was dragged by Cheng Dagui to stay in the house to talk, and asked Cheng Chen and Xu Sanlang to go out to find Lang Zhong together.

When Cheng Dagui sent Xu Sanlang away, Cheng Xi knew that this father had something to say to him.

Sure enough, when Xu Sanlang left the mouth with the second brother, Cheng Dagui took Cheng Xi's hand and said distressedly, "Xi'er, it's all because your father is useless, he couldn't stop your grandmother from sending you to the Xu family and making you suffer so much, but don't worry, your father has already discussed it with your brother and them, if you don't want to live with Xu Sanlang, wait until you have enough money for one or two silver, and I will take you back." ”

Cheng Xi listened to his father's words, and wondered if his father didn't know that his grandmother and the eldest aunt were still planning to sell him?

"Don't worry, since Dad is awake, you won't still be followed by your grandmother and aunt to toss our family, as long as I don't die, you don't have to worry about your aunt pouting your milk and wanting to sell you, that Xu Saburo is a hard life, even if it will be talked about in the future, Dad can't watch you jump into the fire pit, during this time you are also far away from that Xu Saburo, anyway, it's a village, if you want to come back, come back, if the Xu family embarrasses you, you come back and tell Dad, Dad let your brother and them go to give you anger."

Listening to Cheng Dagui's mouth chattering a lot, Cheng Xi sighed in his heart, this father really loves this daughter, but why did his grandmother and aunt sell her into the Xu family at that time?

Cheng Xi was so engrossed that he unconsciously said his doubts.

Cheng Dagui listened to Cheng Xi's question, and looked at Cheng Xi worriedly, "Still can't remember what happened before?" ”

Cheng Xi lowered his eyes weakly, nodded, Cheng Dagui sighed, and responded, "At that time, I was groggy because of the injury and didn't know, and the injury was too serious and I needed some expensive medicinal materials to continue my life, and the family's money was also spent, your fourth brother ran back to the Ma family to ask the Ma family for help in a hurry, your Aunt Wu was worried that your fourth brother would go back to the Ma family alone and suffer a loss, so she also followed, your second brother is gentle and kind, and he has to take care of me, your grandmother listened to your aunt's teasing, where is your second brother their opponent, this is what happened." ”

The Wu family, who sent the medicine in, listened to Cheng Dagui's words, and snorted coldly, "Your old lady, you know that you oppress people with filial piety, and you still complain about me and your mother every day, if I didn't make trouble with her, your old lady would have forced our family to death, if you want to take the Xi girl back, be ready to make trouble with your old lady, don't let your old lady secretly sell the Xi girl when the time comes." ”

Cheng Dagui frowned and glared at the Wu family, "What is your mother-in-law, that's your mother-in-law, you can't accumulate some virtue in your mouth." ”

Wu Shi stuffed the medicine bowl into Cheng Xi's hand, and retorted with a stunned face, "Hmph, it's better than your mother's lack of morality!" After speaking, he didn't bother to talk to Cheng Dagui anymore, so he turned around and left directly, and went to busy himself.

Cheng Dagui was only gasping for breath by Wu's anger, but in fact, he was not completely angry with Wu's, but after Wu's mentions, Cheng Dagui remembered the things his mother did with his sister-in-law this time, it was indeed too lacking in morality, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Cheng Xi hurriedly patted his chest for him, and said softly, "Dad, let's drink the medicine first and take care of your body, Xi'er still expects you to protect Xi'er." ”
