After eating, the two of them greeted Steward Xu, and walked quickly to the city gate, maybe they could catch up with Old Man Wang's ox cart at this time.

The two of them went out of the city, but they didn't expect to have good luck, and sure enough, they saw the old man Wang park the ox cart under a tree not far from the city gate, and he was looking at the dry tobacco bag in his hand at the city gate, and when he saw Cheng Xi and the two, he smiled and beckoned to the two.

The two of them went over, and Cheng Xi said with a smile, "I'm still worried that you're old, it's okay." ”

Old man Wang said with a smile, "I have just been here for a long time, and it is still early, so I will simply wait for you at the city gate, if I don't come again, I should leave." ”

While saying that he had already put on the rope and sat down to catch the car, he saw the two of them get on the rear panel and sit in the car, and began to set off slowly.

Old man Wang also began to inquire about the situation of the two, "Has the baby found something?" If you don't find it, you can follow my son-in-law, this time my son-in-law came back to find someone, but I have to follow him to Fucheng, do it with him, the work is a little harder, but it is more profitable than our county. ”

Cheng Xi asked curiously, "Uncle, what is your son-in-law doing in Fucheng?" ”

Old man Wang said, "What about the dock contractor, the hands are tight, and there is a shortage of strong and capable workers like the baby, how about it, do you want him to go?" ”

After getting along in the morning, Old Man Wang knew that this girl had a lot of ideas, and this baby was also very bored, and she couldn't hold back a sentence for a long time, so she simply asked Cheng Xi directly for her idea.

It's just that Cheng Xi didn't respond this time, but Xu Sanlang himself responded first, "Thank you, uncle, I won't go to Fucheng too far, we have already found things in the county, and we will come to work the day after tomorrow when we go back to clean up." ”

Old man Wang listened to Xu Sanlang's words, so he had to give up, and then inquired about the work of the two, and discussed that he would still drive his ox cart into the city in the town early the day after tomorrow, anyway, he would help his son-in-law find someone to work in the past few days, and he had to run to the county seat from time to time.

Because Old Man Wang wanted to inquire about recruitment everywhere in the village, he sent the two of them directly to the entrance of Shiqiao Village, and inquired in the surrounding villages by the way.

Cheng Xi and the two got out of the car at the entrance of the village, and the two of them walked towards the village while discussing the future, "We will definitely come back to this village in the future, let's pack up the useful things and take them directly to the city." ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, "The things sent by your mother's family, we will send them back tomorrow, and put them at home ......, I'm afraid I won't be able to let them go." ”

Thinking of the Xu family's best, Cheng Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes in the sky, and said in a very helpless tone, "How do you want to tell the Xu family?" I don't think your will let us go so easily. ”

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and was silent without answering, Cheng Xi sighed and continued, "You still have to think about what to do." ”

Through living here in the past few days, Cheng Xi also roughly understands that in this era, this word of filial piety is pressed on the head, not what you want to do, and people here also attach great importance to filial piety, including Xu Sanlang.

Cheng Xi was originally a filial person, but in the face of an old lady like Mrs. Xu, who was disrespectful to the elderly, and asked her to treat this person as an elder, she really couldn't do it.

And this is still an era of male superiority and inferiority, in such a place, she is a powerless little woman, if she wants to survive here, she has to be more cautious, some things, even if she is uncomfortable, she still has to think about it.

Both of them remained silent, as if they were both thinking about things, Cheng Xi finally thought of a way, raised his head and looked at Xu Sanlang with bright eyes, "Divide the family, let's separate it and live alone." ”

Xu Sanlang shook his head and directly broke Cheng Xi's expectations, "As long as the milk is still there, it is impossible to separate the family, and the family is still counting on me to work to earn money." ”

Xu Sanlang is not stupid, he has not been directly killed by the Xu family, that is because he still has some value to the Xu family, otherwise her grandmother would have dragged him, an ominous person, to Shentang a long time ago.

He knew how disgusting his existence was, but what could he do? Whoever made him a hard-nosed man, it would be good to be alive.

No one can deeply understand the fearlessness of people's words more than him Xu Sanlang, he has already carried a reputation of being tough and deprived, and it is impossible to carry a reputation of unfilial piety, so over the years, no matter how his milk rubs him, he can grit his teeth and stand up.

Cheng Xi couldn't tell the family when he heard it, and his brows furrowed, "Then what should we do, we can't stay in the village and wait for your Xu family to starve us to death." ”

Xu Saburo finally said his plan, "The legs are on us, we have to go to the city, they can't tie us up, and besides, we are going to earn money, and we will pay some wages when the time comes." ”

Cheng Xi's eyes widened, "So the money we worked so hard to earn will still have to be sent back to the Xu family when the time comes?" ”

Xu Sanlang glanced at Cheng Xi, and his eyes seemed to feel that Cheng Xi was making a fuss, and then lowered his head again and responded, "As long as there is no separation, you have to pay money to the head when you go out to earn money." ”

Cheng Xi felt that the whole person was not good, stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and sighed in his mouth, "Ouch, this day is really unpassable." "I regret a little in my heart, why didn't I listen to the Cheng family's return.

Xu Saburo said in a rare and gentle tone, "It's better than living in the village." ”

Cheng Xi replied helplessly, "Let's take one step at a time, let's go back to my mother's house first, and ask my brother and them to go over and move things together, if you put it at home, it won't be reassuring, and your milk may come to make trouble when it will be." ”

Although those things are not valuable things, but in the face of today's situation, those things are good things that are applicable, and she doesn't want to cheapen the greedy and ruthless old lady Xu.

Xu Sanlang nodded in response, and the two of them quickened their pace and went directly to the direction of Cheng's house.

At this time, it was almost evening, because most of the farmers went out in the morning and finished work at night, so they all finished work early, and the people in the field had begun to finish work one after another, carrying tools and going home slowly, and they would say hello when they met, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang walked on the road, with Xu Sanlang's reputation, but few people came forward to greet them, and most of them were pointing behind their backs.

It seems that Xu Sanlang's reputation for being hard has been deeply engraved into their minds in this village.

Such an isolated situation, including Cheng Xi, who walked with Xu Sanlang, also had a deep experience, even if Cheng Xi didn't care about these folks who were very strange to him, this feeling was not good, thinking that this situation was all caused by a few words of a god stick, Cheng Xi had an urge to beat the god stick hard.

Cheng Xi thought in her heart that one day she would clean up the magic stick and reverse all these rumors.

When he returned to Cheng's house, Wu had just made dinner, so he directly beckoned the two to have dinner together, and while eating, Cheng Xi secretly observed the first father from time to time, for fear that he would suddenly attack Xu Sanlang, but there seemed to be no signs of anything wrong, so he was relieved.

After that, Cheng Xi took the opportunity to say that they had found something in the county, and everyone heard that they could get wages for food and housing, and they were very happy for the two of them, and they also approved of the two of them going to the county seat.

The situation of the Cheng family is also very difficult now, if you really want to help them with the little couple, in fact, it can't help much, plus the virtue of those people in the Xu family, they know even more that as long as they are really good for them, they will not object to them leaving Shiqiao Village to go to the county seat.

But when Cheng Xi talked about the difficulties of going to the county seat, the Cheng family didn't have any good ideas, and most of them said that they could only pay some wages to the old lady of the Xu family, and hide as much private house as possible by themselves, so that one day they could split up, and then they could have a better life with their own private money.

After dinner, Cheng Xi called his two brothers to push the cart and went back with them to move the things that had been moved to the thatched hut back.

This Wu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said that he was fine, so he followed them over.

As soon as I arrived at the corner of the courtyard wall of the Xu family's courtyard to the thatched house, I didn't want to be blocked by the old lady Xu, as if she was waiting for them here.

As soon as Mrs. Xu saw Xu Sanlang, the whole person jumped up energetically, pointed at Xu Sanlang and scolded, "You are a mourning star, where did you die, you didn't do any work in the field, the little mourning star who suffered a thousand knives, do you want me to drive you out of the Xu family?" ”

Cheng Xi on the side was angry when he saw this old lady, and when he heard her scolding Xu Sanlang for not working in the field, he couldn't help but interject and said, "You always plan to starve him to death and not give him food, and let him work?" Old lady, don't you want to be so shameless......"

Cheng Chen on the side was afraid that Cheng Xi would say something shocking again, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Cheng Xi's mouth.

Although this old lady of the Xu family is indeed quite shameless, after all, this old lady of the Xu family is Cheng Xi's elder, where is there a junior who scolds the elders for being shameless, and they must not let people's spit stars drown in the future.

And when Mrs. Xu heard Cheng Xi's scolding, she was even more furious, and turned the war to point at Cheng Xi and scolded, "Little slut, do you really think I can't do anything to you?" is not big or small, disloyal and unfilial, our Xu family is not allowed to have such a daughter-in-law, so we should pull you, a little slut, to Shentang, so as not to lose the people of our Xu family. ”
