The Pretty Peasant Wife - C86 Argument
In the end, Cheng Qiang was the first one who spoke up impatiently, with a wronged expression on his face, “Hmph, so many of you won’t let us in.”
Lady Wu opened her eyes wide in doubt. “It’s the new year, all new years are for good fortune. The more people come, the happier they are. Which family actually won’t let you in?”
Cheng Cai said angrily, “I don’t know who it is that is blabbering, plotting with Xi and Xu Sanlang, but today, rumors are spreading around the village about Xi and Xu Sanlang, they want me to know who it is, then I will beat him to death.”
Cheng Dagui asked with a gloomy face, “What rumors?”
Cheng Cai said angrily, “What? Xi and Xu Sanlang are on the double star level, those close to them wouldn’t even have a good ending. Many people actually wanted us to drive the two out of the village, so as to not implicate the villagers.”
Cheng Dagui looked at Cheng Cai in shock, and then looked at Cheng Chen in disbelief. When Lady Wu saw Cheng Dagui’s shocked face, she stared at Cheng Dagui in disdain, “What, are you planning to believe that your daughter is a fiend, or what?”
Madame Wu was very clear that Cheng Dagui was also half-believing and half-doubting in this matter. This was the reason why he didn’t like Xu Sanlang back then, but looking at Cheng Dagui now, he knew that he still believed it somewhat in his heart.
However, even though Cheng Dagui doted on her own daughter and heard that someone was actually plotting her daughter’s plans, he was still unwilling to believe it. He shouted at the Wu family with a reddened face, “What kind of monster is Xi? It’s all Xu Sanlang. ”
Xu Sanlang who was working in the courtyard heard Cheng Dagui’s roar and his body paused for a second, before he continued with his work.
Now that she heard Cheng Dagui’s words, she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart. When she heard Cheng Dagui’s angry roar at her, she also became angry and threw the things in her hands onto the table with a loud thud, saying, “Then let’s chase them out, even with your daughter, it would be best if we, the two of us, were chased out together so that you wouldn’t be dragged down.”
Cheng Dagui was already furious in his heart, hearing Wu Shi’s loud roar, he became even more furious. He grabbed the walking stick and threw it at Wu Shi, but in the end, he was still not willing to throw it at Wu Shi’s body. He only threw it at the side of Wu Shi.
Cheng Qiang had never seen such a battle before, he was so scared that he immediately started crying. Cheng Chen was afraid that Cheng Dagui would throw another walking stick at Lady Wu, so he immediately went over to Cheng Dagui’s side, and gently stroked Cheng Dagui’s back to ease his anger. At the same time, he advised him in a gentle voice, “Father, what are you doing, don’t be angry and lose your body.”
Cheng Cai stood beside his own mother, in case his mother got beaten up. His face was gloomy, he had been influenced by his mother since he was young, so he obviously didn’t believe those messy rumors. Regarding Cheng Dagui’s reaction, he was also a little angry in his heart.
Lady Wu was not scared at all as she roared at Cheng Dagui, “What, you’re talking about me? “You’re so embarrassed that you want to hit me. To think that you’re even a father to me, you even believe such words. Do you really have the face to be a father to me?”
Cheng Chen immediately spoke to persuade them, “Don’t quarrel anymore, those people who made up these rumors, maybe their goal is to cause trouble for our own family. If you guys are acting like this, isn’t it perfect for them to kiss those who hate you?”
After Cheng Dagui heard these words, he snorted coldly, and did not continue arguing with the Wu family.
This was the first time Cheng Xi had ever seen Cheng Dagui and Madame Wu quarreling like this, and thus, she woke up from her slumber. After putting on her clothes for a few times, she patted her hundred years old who had also woken up from her shock, and let sleep obediently on the bed. Only then did she quickly walk out of her room.
Seeing her father who was filled with anger and Lady Wu, Cheng Chen who had a gloomy face, and Cheng Chen who had a helpless expression, Cheng Xi went over and hugged Cheng Qiang who was still crying lightly to comfort him, and asked: “What’s going on, why are you quarreling so much during the new year?”
Seeing that Cheng Xi had actually come out, Cheng Dagui suddenly retracted his previous anger, and said with a red face: “It’s fine, it’s just a small issue, let’s eat early.”
Then he turned and glared at Lady Wu, his tone still a little unfriendly. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and prepare breakfast. ”
Lady Wu looked at Cheng Dagui, then looked at the curious Cheng Xi, coldly snorted and finally stopped quarreling with him. She turned and headed to the kitchen and Cheng Cai immediately followed, “I’ll go help.”
Cheng Dagui looked at Cheng Chen, and tried to force out a smile that was uglier than a cry, and asked Cheng Xi, “Why are you awake so early? He quickly went to wash up, and then ate breakfast. Qiang, come over to big brother’s side. ”
At this moment, Cheng Qiang had already stopped crying, and was still sobbing non-stop. Hearing someone call him, he raised his head and saw his father’s expression, but in the end, he still obediently came out of Cheng Xi’s embrace and walked towards Cheng Chen.
Cheng Xi watched as Wu Clan Cheng Cai left with suspicion, then looked at his father who was trying his best to suppress his temper with doubt. He looked at Cheng Chen, who was beside him, and shook his head helplessly at him.
After that, Cheng Xi left the house, exited the courtyard and headed towards the kitchen, planning to ask Fourth Brother Cheng Cai about the situation.
Just as she walked out of the house, she saw Xu Sanlang sweeping the floor in the courtyard. Cheng Xi quickly walked over and asked Xu Sanlang softly, “What happened? It’s the new year, why is my dad and Aunt Wu quarreling? ”
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi, his eyes filled with complex emotions, sadness, guilt, helplessness, anger, in the end, it all calmed down and he replied, “The rumors outside are becoming more and more powerful, Second Brother is going out to pay respects, and many of them are not allowed to enter, and even wanted them to kick us out earlier.”
Cheng Xi frowned and muttered, “These people are getting more and more greedy?”
Then, Cheng Xi raised her head to look at Xu Sanlang, “Was the God’s rod that gave you fortune telling still in the village?”
Hearing Cheng Xi mentioning the God Rod, a flash of anger appeared in Xu Sanlang’s eyes, she nodded and replied, “I’m still here.”
Cheng Xi said, “When are we going to meet him, doesn’t he know how to count? Let’s go ask him to calculate for us again.”
Xu Sanlang saw the plan that flashed past Cheng Xi’s eyes, he knew that Cheng Xi had an idea, so he nodded, thinking about the fight between Cheng Dagui and Lady Wu, he said, “Let’s go to the county city tomorrow.”
Cheng Xi raised her head and looked at Xu Sanlang, only to hear him continue, “If we stay here, it will bring trouble to your father and the others.”
In the end, Cheng Xi nodded his head, “Okay, we will leave tomorrow. Are we directly going to see your big brother?”
Xu Sanlang shook his head, “Let’s go to the city first and settle down. After that, I’ll go look for Big Brother.
Cheng Xi nodded, and said while heading to the kitchen, “I’m going to look for Aunt Wu.”
Xu Sanlang responded softly as he watched Cheng Xi leave before continuing to sweep the floor. However, his current gaze was much gentler than before he saw Cheng Xi.
At the kitchen door, Cheng Xi heard Lady Wu cursing him, “These people who killed over a thousand times are too shameless. Seeing that you and Ah Chen are doing well and our family is getting along well, they started to make rumors that would disgust us. If we knew who sent this message, I would definitely tear her apart.”
The Wu family then turned to Cheng Cai and said, “Go and ask around, see who is the one maliciously spreading out the news, especially that Xu Family and Zhang Family, take note, I think the ones who hate to see us the most are these two families.”
Cheng Xi who had just entered the door followed up with Lady Wu, “Thank you Aunt Wu, but let’s forget about it and stop causing trouble. We are about to go to the city anyway, and with the village gone, the rumors will gradually die down.”
When Lady Wu saw Cheng Xi entering, her eyes flashed with pain, but she pretended to scold him fiercely: “What do you know, you think that I am only doing this for you, the rumors will only get more and more bizarre, and if you do not properly teach those people a lesson, the situation will only get worse and worse, and when the time comes, not only will you guys not be able to stay in the village, our family will also have a hard time.”
After Cheng Xi heard Lady Wu’s words, she became a little worried, “Will it get bigger and bigger? Isn’t it supposed to stop after a while? ”
Lady Wu stared at Cheng Xi, as if mocking her naivety, and said: “Calm down? What kind of life did Xu Sanlang lead? Wasn’t it because of those rumors? Do you think you can stop it? ”
After Cheng Xi heard Lady Wu’s words, she mumbled to herself, “Seems like I really have to consider this matter properly.”
Then, he looked up and said to Cheng Cai, “Fourth Brother doesn’t need to worry about this matter, I have my own plans.”
Cheng Cai asked suspiciously, “What plans do you have?”
Cheng Xi smiled mysteriously, “I naturally have a way to make these rumors disappear.”
Lady Wu was also worried and said, “Hurry up and tell me, what’s the solution?”
Cheng Xi initially did not plan to speak of it, but seeing Lady Wu’s and Cheng Cai’s worried look, as if she was worried even if she did not say it out loud, she opened her mouth to speak softly, “Back then Xu Sanlang’s rumors about taking his life were not made by the One God Staff in the village?”
Lady Wu really hated that person, so she nodded with a face full of disgust. “Then he’s just a rascal who lives by talking nonsense.”
Cheng Xi laughed and replied, “Since he is talking nonsense to earn money, then let’s just give him some money and let him speak nonsense once more.”
When Lady Wu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said in a vexed tone, “Why didn’t I think of this method then?”
Then, he turned to Cheng Xi and said, “You are still the smart one, don’t these people only believe in that stuff? At that time, let them speak some more nonsense, don’t worry, these people will believe us.”
Cheng Xi laughed, “Aunt Wu, don’t be angry and argue with Father, it’s the new year, don’t make yourself unhappy.”
Lady Wu’s face finally broke into a smile. Smiling, she replied, “Let’s stop arguing. Quickly go wake up and eat breakfast.”
