The Pretty Peasant Wife - C85 A New Rumor
Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang out of the courtyard door, and the group of three planned to go straight to Cheng Xi’s mother’s Cheng Family, but when they thought about the disgust Cheng Dagui and the Wu family had towards the child in his arms, Cheng Xi felt a headache, causing her heart to become even more nervous.
In the past, they had met many villagers who came out to worship their ancestors, but it was strange that when they saw them in the past, they would go up to them to ask about gossip. However, today, they suddenly changed their attitude.
Cheng Xi, on the other hand, was completely relaxed. No one went forward to stop them and ask questions, but Cheng Xi was also somewhat curious, and mumbled to herself, “Are we really that scary today? Weren’t these people trying to get close to us when they saw us, asking about all sorts of things? “Why did she run away in fear when she saw us today?”
Xu Sanlang did not know either, but hearing Cheng Xi’s question, he shook his head suspiciously, expressing his confusion.
Halfway there, Xu Sanlang hesitated, and said, “Why don’t we go to Ming Shui Village for a day, tomorrow morning we’ll head to the county city.”
Xu Sanlang was a little worried. They had brought the year 100 with them, so the Cheng Family Member would not allow them to enter. He had also seen how much the Wu family had disliked this child.
Cheng Xi sighed and replied, “It’s the new year, why don’t we go to Ming Shui Village? “Forget it, let’s just go to my family. Although my father doesn’t like us taking him in, he wouldn’t be so heartless as to kick us out during the new year.”
As Xu Sanlang thought about the situation he was in, he could only nod his head and look at Cheng Xi guiltily: “It’s been hard on you to follow me.”
Cheng Xi curled her lips and replied, “Indeed it is a grievance, so our priority is to earn money. If we earn enough, we can build our own houses, and in the future, we won’t be homeless and homeless like now.”
Speaking of earning money, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang worriedly, “Did you take our money?”
Xu Sanlang patted his chest, “They are all here.” Cheng Xi heaved a sigh of relief, that was their capital next year to do their own business.
As they were talking, the two of them were almost at the Cheng Family, and just happened to meet Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai at the fork of the road. They were pulling Cheng Qiang along by themselves, with one of them carrying a basin, and their faces were black as they walked over from the fork in the road.
Without waiting for them to speak, Cheng Xi asked in doubt, “What’s wrong with all of you? “This guy’s face is so dark. It’s almost as good as Charcoal’s.”
Cheng Chen was just about to say that everything was fine, so as to not make Cheng Xi sad, but Cheng Qiang had already spoken up first, “They said that Big Sis was also a reincarnation of the jinx, and that once she married Brother-in-law, his grandfather and grandma would die. They also said that Big Sis and Brother-in-law were some sort of perverted stars, and if they got involved with any of you, they would even be punished to death.
Seeing Cheng Qiang chattering so much, Cheng Chen glared at Cheng Qiang and quickly changed the topic, “These people are just blabbering. Let’s ignore them.
Cheng Xi finally knew why these people avoided them when they were looking at them today. There were actually some such rumors spread out, but she didn’t know who it was, but the two of them didn’t really care about the people’s rumours here. Xu Sanlang was already used to it, but Cheng Xi knew that it was definitely someone behind their back again.
Hearing such rumors, Cheng Xi did not have much of a reaction, but when she heard Cheng Chen asking them what they were doing, Cheng Xi pitifully said to Cheng Chen, “We have no place to go, please take them in.”
Cheng Chen asked, “What happened? Cheng Family can’t have driven you out again, right? ”
Cheng Xi laughed, “We came out ourselves, but I don’t think it’s good for Xu Family Member this year.”
When Cheng Cai saw Cheng Xi’s smile of success, he was sure that the Xu Family Member was really unlucky. After sweeping away the gloominess from his face earlier, he asked excitedly, “What’s going on?”
Cheng Chen saw that a few people were still standing at the fork in the road, in front of him was his own courtyard.
Cheng Xi said worriedly, “Father and Aunt Wu are still angry?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t kick you out. These two days, I’ve been talking about it every single day, and I don’t know if you guys have been doing well in the Xu Family, or if you guys have been feeling wronged in the Xu Family.”
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and then followed them to the Cheng Family courtyard. Cheng Cai was a little impatient to know what Cheng Xi had done with his Xu Family, so she urged them while walking quickly, “Come on, tell me when you’re back, why is it not so good for Xu Family?”
When the group returned to the Cheng Family, Cheng Dagui and the Wu Clan in the end did not say anything, and only asked the two why they would come over on the thirtieth day of the new year. Cheng Xi told them everything that happened in the Xu Family once, and Cheng Family originally resented the Xu Family Member’s crafty and merciless nature.
Perhaps because both of them had thought it through, or perhaps because they were well-behaved and well-behaved since they were a hundred years old, the Wu Family’s Cheng Dagui ultimately did not mention anything more about letting Xu Sanlang send a hundred years old back to the Fann Family. After that, the entire family happily gathered together for New Year’s dinner.
When it was being announced, Xu Lan had packed all of Cheng Xi’s things and sent them over. When Lady Wu saw that Cheng Xi was actually surprised, she asked doubtfully, “The two of you didn’t go over empty-handed, how did you get so many things?”
Cheng Xi proudly looked at Wu Shi and blinked his eyes, and replied: “Isn’t this the Xu Family Member showing mercy to us, buying us quite a few things?”
The corners of Lady Wu’s eyes twitched when she heard this. If Xu Family Member really cared about them, the sun would probably rise from the west. It was probably Cheng Xi who took the chance to get it from Xu Family again.
After Xu Lan delivered the items, however, she was not in a hurry to leave. She had a look of wanting to say something but was hesitating, as if she was still a little anxious.
Cheng Xi thought that Xu Lan was anxious because he was worried that they would not bring her away, so she smiled and said, “You should pack up quickly. We’ll call for you when we leave.”
Xu Lan paused for a moment, and then looked at the other people in the room, before muttering to herself, “Third sister, I have something to say to you.”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Lan’s mysterious face that seemed to be hard to voice out. In the end, she stood up and called Xu Lan over to the courtyard, and said: “Is there something you need? “Go ahead.”
Xu Lan lowered her voice and said softly, “I heard that Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt were arguing, Fourth Aunt said, Fourth Aunt said, Aiya, you better not go back, after the new year, we should leave as soon as possible.”
Cheng Xi asked, puzzled, “What exactly did Fourth Aunt say? stuttering. ”
Xu Lan clenched her teeth, and finally spoke in a low voice: “When Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle were arguing, Fourth Aunt said that whoever didn’t know of Fourth Uncle’s thoughts, and did not let go of you, or your half-grown up children, Fourth Uncle was actually prejudiced against Eldest Sister-in-Law, which is why, it forced Eldest Sister-in-Law to leave.”
After saying that, Xu Lan’s face became red again, and her eyes became red again. Indeed, to a little girl like Xu Lan, this sort of thing was too hard to say, so when she blushed, she thought about her big brother and sister-in-law being sad, and so her eyes reddened.
Cheng Xi was also very surprised, but she was still a little kid now. Although Xu Wenyu was sinister and cunning, he did not look like an anxious person.
So Cheng Xi asked, “Then what did your Fourth Uncle say?”
Xu Lan took a deep breath and said, “Fourth Uncle told Fourth Aunt to shut up, and said that if it spoils his plans, he will forget about Fourth Aunt.”
Cheng Xi frowned, could it be that she really had that intention? But regardless of whether he meant it or not, Cheng Xi would never let him succeed. Her heart felt even more disgusted by a person like Xu Wenyu.
Cheng Xi said to Xu Lan, “Thank you for telling me these, you can go back first. We’ll leave in two days.
Xu Lan saw that Cheng Xi had understood and exchanged a few more words with Cheng Xi, then turned and left.
After Cheng Xi sent him off, she closed the courtyard door and entered the house. Inside, Cheng Cai was the one who could not hold herself back the most and curiously asked, “It’s mysterious, but what happened to her Xu Family?”
Cheng Xi did not want everyone to know about this, but if they did, they would be worried for her. Thus, she hid her other emotions and laughed: “It’s alright, Xu Lan saw that we came out from the Xu Family, and was worried that we would not bring her away.”
However, Xu Sanlang noticed the change in the expression on Cheng Xi’s face, and looked at Cheng Xi, as if she had thought of something.
This scene unknowingly brought up Cheng Xi’s memories. She thought of his family from her previous life, and the New Year scene, where she was a little princess whom his family loved and cared for, but now, in order to survive and toil, she calculated and traveled, and suddenly missed home.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the two children who were laughing and joking, only Xu Sanlang noticed the change in Cheng Xi, seeing the dense grief in her eyes, they were confused and puzzled, being together with her family, she should be happy, why was she feeling such sadness?
But in the end, Xu Sanlang pretended not to see it. At this moment, this kind of atmosphere, was unsuitable and did not want to break.
Because of the custom of watching age, Cheng Xi followed them for the greater part of the night, only after half the night did everyone return to their respective rooms to sleep.
On the first day of the new year, Cheng Xi and Cheng Xi went to visit a family. Since there was a rumor about them going to visit a family, no one would welcome them, so Cheng Xi decided to just go and sleep on the bed.
This was not Xu Family, instead, Xu Sanlang woke up early and went out to help. He only hoped that his performance would receive the Cheng Family Member’s acknowledgement.
Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai also brought Cheng Qiang to visit various families early in the morning, but after a while, they returned with a dark face. Lady Wu saw that Cheng Chen’s face was dark, and asked curiously: What’s wrong? “Why are you back so early?”
