The Pretty Peasant Wife - C84 Selfish Xu Family
After sighing, Cheng Xi looked in the direction of Xu Erlang and the others. The meaning was obvious, and then she continued to speak, “If we continue staying here, I think that we won’t be able to eat this New Year’s meal anymore. Let us return to my home for two days first.”
Xu Wenyu carefully observed Cheng Xi’s expression and eyes. It seemed that Cheng Xi was still quite grateful to him for taking care of them these past few days, and after receiving his kindness, she felt much more at ease, so she pretended to be considerate and replied, “Alright, you guys should go over as well. In a while, I’ll get your Aunt Faang to pack up your things and send them over to your house.
Cheng Xi pretended to be grateful and nodded, “Thank you, Fourth Uncle.” Since it was all Xu Erlang’s fault, then since they all thought that Xu Erlang made a mistake, then why didn’t they stay and chase him out? From the beginning to the end, they never treated them as Xu Family Member, and even pretended to be concerned about them.
As the two of them walked out of the Xu Family Academy, Xu Sanlang looked down at Cheng Xi and said apologetically, “Sorry, I caused you to suffer a grievance with me.”
On the other hand, Cheng Xi’s expression did not reveal a hint of sadness, but instead, she said happily: If I’m afraid of feeling wronged, I will not follow you to the Xu Family, but it’s not a loss coming here, hehe, in my opinion, after we leave, the Xu Family should not stop.
Seeing Cheng Xi’s schadenfreude expression, Xu Sanlang knew that Cheng Xi must have provoked the Xu Family and said worriedly, “Didn’t you say that we won’t provoke Fourth Uncle for the time being?”
Cheng Xi pursed her lips and replied, “How did we offend him? “Heh, your second uncle’s family clearly wants to go against him. The one he should be angry at isn’t us, it should be your second uncle’s family.”
And the current situation of the Xu Family, was indeed within Cheng Xi’s expectations.
Xu Wenyu sent Xu Sanlang out of the courtyard before he gloomily entered his room and sat down on the seat that was left empty after Xu Sanlang left. He said to his wife who was sitting on the table by the side, “Ah Fang, pack up their things and send them to Cheng Family later.”
The Old Madam Cheng said unhappily, “What are you giving us, aren’t those things all ours? It’s just two dead stars, once you get here, we will not be able to rest in peace.”
Xu Wenyu’s face became gloomy, and coldly said: “Let’s go to our branch family.”
When Xu Wenyu suddenly said that, everyone stared at him with their eyes wide open. Old Madam Xu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, he rubbed them and carefully confirmed, “What did you say?”
Xu Wenyu then repeated himself, “Mother, let’s split up.”
This time, the Old Madam Xu was sure that she had heard it clearly. Her own Fourth Brother was speaking about the branch family, but after hearing it clearly, she found it even more unbelievable. Her voice was slightly shrill as she said, “You said the branch family? I didn’t mishear you? ”
Xu Wenyu raised his head and looked at his mother, and then nodded decisively.
Old Madam Xu opened her eyes wide as she scolded, “Child, what nonsense are you spouting? What kind of family are you suddenly splitting up into?”
Boss Xu who was at the side also added, “That’s right, Fourth Brother, why did you suddenly mention about splitting up the family?”
Xu Wenyu coldly snorted, “If we don’t split up, then am I going to wait for my life to be tormented to the point where there’s nothing at all? Mother, I have repeatedly asked them not to offend Xu Sanlang, but since it is the Second Brother’s entire family, they have to go through it once, and even Xu Zijie, a slightly older child, can’t stop, since we can’t be of the same heart, why not each of us make our own plans, and split up as soon as possible. ”
Xu Erlang was unhappy in his heart, but when he heard that Xu Wenyu had blamed all of this on them, and even wanted to divide the family, he could not help but retort, “It was clearly Xu Sanlang and that slut who were looking for trouble with us, how can you blame us for it. I think that slut will resent me for not marrying her.”
If Cheng Xi heard this, she would probably laugh herself to death. With Xu Erlang’s situation, even if she did not marry him, she would not have enough time to thank the heavens.
Hearing Xu Erlang’s words, Xu Wenyu’s face became gloomy, and coldly said: “Since that is the case, let’s separate families, so that I won’t implicate you guys.”
How could they split up now? He was still waiting for the Fourth Brother to develop to become more prosperous, how could he split up now, seeing that his son beside him had angered Xu Wenyu, who was also angry at him, he slapped him on the back and scolded, “Shut up, you still don’t know how to repent for your wrongdoings. Go and kneel in the Ancestral Hall and meditate over it.”
Xu Erlang, who was originally infuriated to the point of choking, suddenly had a stubborn temper as he roared with red eyes, “It was originally the fault of that little bitch, why are you blaming it on me?”
Second Brother was also worried that his son did not have a single shred of emotion in his eyes. This time, he was truly annoyed, he directly slapped Xu Erlang on the face, and scolded, “Did you hear someone tell you to shut up and go kneel in the Ancestral Hall? “If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death.”
It was rare for Xu Erlang to see his father get so angry, and even though he was unwilling, he still did not dare to disobey, as he angrily rushed towards the ancestral hall.
After Xu Erlang left, seeing that Xu Wenyu’s face was still gloomy, Xu Second Brother shouted to his youngest son, Xu Zijie, who was on the table beside him, “Xu Zijie, come and kneel at the ancestral hall with your brother and reflect on it.”
Xu Zijie ran away like a wisp of smoke. He saw that all of them were so fierce, his father was not his usual self today, his mother was already lying on the bed after being beaten up. He thought that he could not cause more trouble, so it would be better to go kneel in the Ancestral Hall.
After Xu Erlang had left, Second Brother Xu smiled towards his younger brother Xu Wenyu, “Fourth Younger Brother, don’t be angry, I did not properly discipline them. Look at how my wife and child have been dealt with, in the future, things will definitely not happen that way.”
Old Madam Xu also spoke up to persuade her, “It’s all because of Lady Lee, that rogue cultivator, it’s fine if she doesn’t know how to mess things up, but she’s even urging her children to follow him. In the future, if this happens again, I’ll make the decision to send her back to her family, and I won’t let her have the chance to mess things up again.
Xu Wenyu snorted, and said, “Isn’t it as if the branch family was split up? Second Brother will go back and ask second sister, there are so many private homes, do you think that the branch family will leave early?”
Hearing that, Second Brother was shocked, he had already said that Fourth Brother would not mention about the branch families, even if he was angry at them for provoking Xu Sanlang, it would not affect the branch families, right? So he was waiting here, that was his true goal.
With regards to his wife hiding his private property, Second Brother Xu obviously knew about it. However, even if he did, he could only pretend to be stupid and blame his wife. However, thinking about how he was definitely going to hand it over, he felt his heart ache.
Second Brother Xu pretended to be surprised, “What, private?”
However, Old Madam Xu really didn’t know, and said with a face full of shock and fury, “You guys actually hid your private property, and dared to carry me, your private property? How much money did it cost? “You two, you two are really pissing me off.”
“Mother, I’m not hiding my private property, we’re all family, how would I do such a thing? Calm down, calm down, it must be good for Lady Lee to do such a thing, if there’s really such a thing, I definitely won’t forgive her.”
Xu Wenyu’s goal was achieved, but he stopped after seeing the situation, and said: “I still believe that Second Brother will not do such a thing, but Second Sister-in-Law is truly outrageous, the child has been taught by her, Second Brother should be properly taught, if there is such a thing happening in the future, we can only part ways.”
Furthermore, he still had to think of a way to climb up there. He was a scholar, and wanted his family members to use his name to fish for money, to spend money for him, it was much better than if he himself went out to fish for money.
Of course he understood that his own Second Brother wouldn’t agree to a branch family. He was still waiting to rely on himself to advance, how could he agree to a branch family? After making sure that his own Second Brother would not agree, Xu Wenyu used the excuse of splitting up his family to threaten Second Brother to hand over his private money, and also to give her a warning, lest everyone goes to hide their private property, where would his expenses come from.
Hearing Fourth Younger Brother, Xu Wenyu, had finally let out a sigh of relief, and also finally let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly nodding in agreement, “Don’t worry, Second Brother will definitely set our Xu Family’s rules for them this time, so they won’t drag us down.”
Although her sons no longer messed around with the branch families, Old Madam Xu also heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she thought about how Lady Lee had actually hidden her private room right under her nose, without even realizing it, Old Madam Xu’s expression darkened again, and said to Second Brother who was beside her, “Send Lady Lee back to her parents later, and let her reflect on it. If she does, she’ll return, but if not, then she won’t need to come back anymore.”
How could Second Brother Xu dare to object now? He was so eager for his wife to take responsibility for everything, so much so that he hurriedly nodded, “Alright, we’ll listen to Mother.”
He turned to Lady Ma and the others who were sitting on the table beside him and said, “You guys clean up the table, the food will be heated up again. I will personally go and ask Lady Lee, how exactly did Xu Family treat her, to actually dare carry this old lady and keep her private property.”
Seeing that the old lady had already gotten up and was heading towards her own room, afraid that her wife would spout nonsense and reveal herself, Second Brother hurriedly followed behind her, “Mother, I’ll go with you.”
Boss Xu looked at Second Brother’s back and pursed his lips in disdain, then said to Xu Wenyu at the side, “Look at your Second Brother, even a woman can’t discipline you well, and you know how to act so arrogantly. You don’t have any eyes, and your wife has hidden her private house, how could he not know? “Her skin is as shallow as a woman’s.”
Xu Wenyu sighed and replied, “It’s still big brother that understands. If little brother isn’t at home in the future, I will have to trouble you to take care of my family.”
Boss Xu patted Xu Wenyu’s back, and with an irredeemable expression, he replied, “You just need to be at ease and do things within the county office, my family’s big brother will definitely take good care of it, this kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future.”
Xu Wenyu said in a gratified manner, “Brother, thank you, Big Brother.”
On the surface, this Xu Family family all seemed to love each other, but in reality, all of them had their own ulterior motives and selfish plans. For example, these two people were obviously using each other to scheme for themselves, yet on the surface, they seemed to be brotherly and brotherly in love with each other.
