Chapter 62 The uneasy kindness of receiving a thousand cuts, and I don't say anything about being pregnant
Chixi almost didn't sleep all night, after returning home for dinner, Tian Cuihe and Xi Dazhuang urged her to sleep, she raised her eyes to look at Xi Dazhuang, who also had almost never slept all night, and wondered: "You told me to sleep, what about you?" You haven't slept all night. ”
"Go to the back mountain for your husband, talk to them about something, and come back soon."
Xi Dazhuang chuckled: "You sleep first." ”
Chixi thinks about it, there are still more than 40 people waiting to work in the back mountain, and his father-in-law really needs to make arrangements: "Then you have to come back early, let's tidy up today, and go to the county seat early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay."
Xi Dazhuang nodded, turned around and walked out, Chixi was so sleepy that he couldn't stand it, so he went back to his room to sleep.
Sister-in-law Osmanthus knew about last night's incident this morning, and pulled Tian Cuihe to curse the Wang family passionately for a quarter of an hour, and the more she scolded, the more energetic she became.
At first, Tian Cuihe could still listen to it, but Sister-in-law Osmanthus had no tendency to stop at all, so she frowned and said: "Osmanthus, I know that you have a good relationship with Lan Mei, and you are heartbroken by what happened to her, but Da Zhuang and Xiaoxi have saved her last night, Shi Langzhong also prescribed medicine to her, and she herself has made up her mind to reconcile, it will be fine in the future, don't scold." ”
Sister-in-law Osmanthus said angrily: "Although Sister Lan wanted to open it and was rescued, the Wang family's mother and son's approach is really annoying!" When the two of them come back, I will definitely greet them and let them know that our Lan Mei is not without support! ”
Sister-in-law Osmanthus has the confidence of the Xi family, and she is getting stronger and stronger.
Tian Cuihe saw that Sister-in-law Osmanthus was still stopping, so she said bluntly: "You are very right, I also know that you are upset for Lan Mei, but Xiaoxi took care of Lan Mei almost all night before coming back to sleep, you are so loud, it will disturb her." ”
Sister-in-law Osmanthus was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and whispered, "This ...... I'm sorry, auntie, I was so angry that I didn't think about it so much, and I don't know if Xiaoxi was asleep because of my noise. ”
Ikexi did not fall asleep.
This home is not too big and it is not soundproof.
When Sister-in-law Osmanthus was angry, her cursing voice was very loud, and she couldn't isolate her ears with a quilt.
The sleepiness just now dissipated a lot, even if the voice of Sister-in-law Osmanthus no longer came, Chi Xi closed his eyes and slept for a long time without falling asleep.
It wasn't until the door of the room was pushed open and a barely audible footstep approached the bedside that she opened her eyes to see herself undressed lightly behind her back.
Xi Dazhuang seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned his head to look, and met the red eyes of Chixi.
He was stunned for a moment, sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Chi Xi's forehead, and asked worriedly, "Why haven't you fallen asleep for so long?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
"No discomfort."
Chixi didn't want to say that she couldn't sleep because of the arguing of Sister-in-law Osmanthus, she reached out and held Xi Dazhuang's big hand, looking at him with bright eyes and smiling coquettishly: "You're not here, I'm not used to it, even if I'm sleepy all night, I still can't sleep." ”
Xi Dazhuang's heart was numb, he hurriedly took off his coat and shoes and socks, climbed onto the bed, hugged his little wife into his broad hot chest, and said with a low smile: "That husband sleeps with you." ”
"Okay."
Chi Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled, hugged his father-in-law's waist contentedly, closed his eyes and fell asleep for a long time.
Xi Dazhuang felt that the breathing of the person in his arms was becoming more and more even and long, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead lovingly, and closed his eyes.
When the couple woke up, it was already early afternoon.
As soon as Chi Xi opened his eyes, he was stung by the light coming in through the window and hurriedly closed his eyes, muttering quietly: "What time is this?" Why is the sun still so dazzling? ”
"Three o'clock."
A lazy and hoarse voice sounded behind Chi Xi, she looked at it, and was stunned for a while before she reacted: "You are also awake?" ”
"Well, do you want to go back to sleep, or get up and eat?"
Xi Dazhuang was a little hungry and had slept enough, but he followed his daughter-in-law's advice.
"Get up and eat!"
Chi Xi lazily raised his hand to cover his small mouth and yawned, sighed and said, "After sleeping for so long, it's time to go and see how Lan Mei is doing." If we are not at home tomorrow, we should let Sister-in-law Osmanthus take care of her for a few days. After all...... Nuan Nuan is still small. ”
"Hmm."
Xi Dazhuang has no opinion on his daughter-in-law's decision.
When sitting at the dinner table to eat, Chi Xi felt that the business of chickens, ducks and goose seedlings at home was getting bigger and bigger, and only Lan Mei and Osmanthus Sister-in-law were already a little busy to help, and now Lan Mei was lying on the bed, and she had to take care of Osmanthus Sister-in-law for a few days, and there was a serious shortage of manpower.
After the meal, Chi Xi offered to find a few more people to help.
Xi Dazhuang and Tian Cuihe were very supportive.
Chi Xi just let out the words, and many people came to visit in the evening.
Some came to the door with eggs, some visited with sweet potatoes, and some even sent bacon that had been put for many years, all of them smiling and friendly to the Xi family.
"Chixi, I heard that your family still needs to find some people to help. I'm the best at working, I've cleaned up my house properly over the years, and there is no contradiction with your family, so why don't you just accept me! ”
Someone was not convinced, and hurriedly said: "I have been sharp with my hands and feet since I was a child, and I am the best at work, I can do both meticulous work and heavy work, Chixi, you just want me!" ”
"I can do it, and I'm good at it. As long as it's what you tell me to do, I promise to do it properly. ”
Most of the people who came to visit today had no holiday with the Xi family.
Some even said a few words for Chixi when she was beaten and scolded by Su Xiuying, although the result was that Chixi was beaten and scolded more harshly, but the people's intentions were fulfilled.
At this moment, a voice with insufficient confidence sounded: "Chixi, some time ago, you saved my father-in-law, and our family owes you five taels of silver." I...... My husband is lying in bed and can't work, and I can't do anything as a woman to make money, so why don't you let me work in your house to pay off my debts? If you give someone 12 yuan a day, you only give me 2 yuan, and the remaining 10 yuan will be used to pay off the debt until the deduction is exhausted, okay? ”
The person who spoke was Chi Taoer's second uncle, Wang Xiangxiang.
As soon as Wang Xiangxiang's words came out, the hall was silent for a moment, and then someone sneered: "Wang Xiangxiang, you are really a good calculation." Your sister-in-law who got married out is just the trouble of looking for someone in the Xi family twice in three days, and even your father-in-law and his brothers have come to the door to find the trouble of the Xi family, why are you embarrassed to ask Chixi to accept you for work? ”
"That's it, if it were me, I would like to dig a pit and bury it in, where would I still have the face to come to the door?"
Wang Xiangxiang was said to be embarrassed, her head drooped lower and lower, her hands clenched the bamboo basket in her hand, she was ashamed, and she wanted to turn around and run, but she still had four children to support, and Xianggong broke his leg for treatment and owed a lot of debts.
She really had no other choice.
"I've thought about what Aunt Wang said, and it does make sense."
Chixi's voice not only made Wang Xiangxiang unbelievable, but others were also very puzzled.
"Chixi, do you want to stop thinking about it? They have an inseparable relationship with Su Xiuying, she works here, and Su Xiuying doesn't know how to find trouble! ”
"Yes, Chixi, we don't work worse than her, why do you need someone who has a conflict with you!"
Everyone persuaded Chixi not to leave Wang Xiangxiang.
Chi Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I have thought about it, when others come to work with me, it will cost one person twelve yuan a day; But she, I only need two pennies, it's a good deal. Besides, their family still owes me five taels of silver, and if she is not allowed to work, when will they be able to pay it off? ”
For a while, everyone was speechless.
