"Oh my old man, why are you so short on life, what if you leave me behind …"
"Father …"
Cheng Xi frowned, she rubbed his forehead in annoyance, her head was in pain, as she muttered, "So noisy."
When he was sent into the operation room with reddened eyes, she thought she would never wake up again. She didn't expect she would wake up again, but why was it so noisy in the ward? She clearly remembered that she was in a private ward.
Hearing the increasingly noisy cry, Cheng Xi slowly opened his eyes. Then, her pupils gradually contracted as she stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes that could not believe what was happening. Then, she uncertainly rubbed his eyes.
Cheng Xi looked at the scene in front of him. A group of strangely dressed people stood guard by a coffin and cried out. But the crying didn't sound like an act, and there were no photographers around.
It had to be her imagination. Cheng Xi opened and closed his eyes a few times to confirm the truth, then reached out and pinched herself, hoping that she had woken up from the illusion. The only thing she could do was tear away and not see the scene in front of his eyes disappear.
Finally, Cheng Xi lowered her head and looked at herself, causing him to open her eyes wide once again. Looking at the current situation, there was definitely a dead person lying inside the coffin in front of him, and the people in front of him were definitely crying in grief as well, but what the hell was that huge old red robe she was wearing?
Cheng Xi stared blankly at the red dress on her body. It must be the wrong way to wake up, could she go back to sleep and wake up again?
Just as Cheng Xi was thinking about whether she should pass out again, a fifty to sixty year old old old lady with white hair suddenly appeared in front of him. Her black and yellow face was full of wrinkles from having experienced the wind and frost, and her crying red triangular eyes were staring straight at Cheng Xi.
Facing such a gaze, Cheng Xi, who was still in a state of panic, revealed a panicked look. She carefully looked at the old lady and asked, "What is the old lady trying to do?"
"Yi, this slut isn't dead?" Mother, since this girl is still alive, let's return to the Cheng Family. " Cheng Xi kept her guard up as she stared at the old lady. Hearing the voice, he realised that there was an additional middle-aged woman beside the old lady, her body was slightly fat and tanned, and her eyes flashed with a naked scheme. She did not hide anything as she stared at Cheng Xi.
"Hmph, it would be best if you could retreat …"
The voice also started to get further and further away from her, and gradually, he could no longer hear it, and his thoughts also started to become sluggish. This feeling was extremely clear to Cheng Xi, as she wished, that she was going to faint, and sighing in her heart at the last moment was also good, it was best if it was only a dream, and she did not wake up again in this unfamiliar place.
"Your Xu Family didn't say that marrying our Xi was a form of celebration in the past, but now that you, this old man Xu Family, have given your life to our Cheng Family, what are you trying to do? The water poured out by the married girl, this Xi has already entered your Xu Family! Do you want to give it up or not, now that you are half dead, you want to return to our Cheng Family? "No way."
"Ha, you damned old granny, how can you be so shameless. This slut has only just entered my Xu Family and she already mysteriously rammed herself into my coffin, has nothing to do with your Cheng Family? Since they sent it back to you, hurry up and return that silver. Otherwise, my Xu Family will not be finished with your Cheng Family. "
"You black-hearted old pious woman, my Cheng Family is fine when my girl sends you! If anything happens to your Xu Family, my old Cheng Family will never end with yours, and yet you still want to owe it to our old Cheng Family? You wish for beauty. "
Cheng Xi endured the headache as she laid on the hard door. She closed her eyes and listened to the old granny's scolding, finally understanding the gist of it.
No wonder she felt pain in her head. So it was her who knocked her forehead against the coffin, then turned into her after waking up? But this girl who used her head to smash a coffin seemed to also be called Cheng Xi? It was quite a coincidence to have a son with the same name as her. However, her fate seemed to be a bit rough.
He had been sold with a tael of silver for Xu Family, and the result was him being killed. Then, this Xu Family had carried him back to the Cheng Family to return the goods?
In this situation, with the two families not wanting anyone, Cheng Xi was feeling mixed emotions. To be able to be reborn, she should be happy, right? However, in such a situation, there was no way for her to be happy. She felt that it would be better if she continued to stay unconscious and not wake up.
"Xi, Xi?"
Cheng Xi, who had originally intended to pretend to be unconscious and not to wake up, helplessly opened her eyes. Looking at the rather handsome, skinny, unfamiliar youth in front of him, whose face was now filled with anxiety, Cheng Xi couldn't help but guess, could this be her original childhood sweetheart?
The words of the other half of the boy broke Cheng Xi's wild guess, "Sis, you're finally awake? They really frightened me and the Second Brother. "
"Xi, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Cheng Xi propped herself up, looked at the two in front of him, and blinked her eyes, she obviously knew the answer, and would definitely have a headache if her head was ripped apart.
"Isn't that slut still alive? Damned old woman, can you return the silver now?"
Cheng Xi's eyes turned, looking at the person who spoke, it was the old granny that she saw when she woke up in front of the coffin. She had a ferocious look on her face, and she stared at him, extremely terrifying.
The handsome youth seemed to have realized that Cheng Xi was afraid, as she reached out to grab Cheng Xi's small hand and comforted her softly, "Xi, don't be afraid, Second Brother is here."
After that, he turned to Cheng Xi who was sitting on the door board and said, "You've already married into Xu Family yesterday, and will be a member of Xu Family in the future. Since you're not dead yet, hurry up and get up, and get back into Xu Family."
Cheng Xi looked at the little old lady in front of him who had a stooped body that looked weak. She never thought that such a loud voice would actually come from such a skinny old lady, you truly can't judge a book by its cover.
Cheng Xi was lost in her own thoughts, she did not make a sound, but to the old lady, she was stunned. Frowning, she said, "Did you run into something stupid?"
Hearing the old lady's words, everyone in the courtyard turned to look at Cheng Xi. Cheng Xi felt her gaze sweeping across the people in the courtyard, yet she did not recognize any of them.
Cheng Xi quickly thought of a way to deal with it. After thinking about it, Cheng Xi sighed, what else could she do? She could only pretend to be dumb.
"Who are you?"
The moment Cheng Xi said this, everyone widened their eyes. The handsome youth was the first to speak, and said excitedly, "Xi? What's wrong with you? "
Cheng Xi felt that she actually didn't need to pretend at all, because she really didn't know them. After that, Cheng Xi directly asked the handsome youth who was squatting beside him, "Who are you?"
The handsome youth looked at Cheng Xi who was lying on the ground with his ignorant eyes, and his eyes instantly turned red, as she said hoarsely, "Xi, I am Second Brother, don't you recognize me?"
As for the thin and short old lady, she hooted as she rushed towards the Xu Family old lady, "You black-hearted old pious granny, my daughter who has good Cheng Family, has only been sent to your Xu Family for a day and you've already turned her into a fool. I'll kill you!"
"Damned old granny, how dare you attack me? "Who knows if this girl was originally an idiot. Ah …"
After that, the courtyard became a complete mess. The two old ladies threw themselves into each other and the others rushed over to stop them. Cheng Xi, who was at the side, stared with her eyes wide open as she muttered to herself, "There's actually such a thing!"
Looking at the chaotic scene, Cheng Xi did not move, she just sat on the door and watched in a daze, trying to lower the feeling of her own existence, so as to not let the flames of war spread onto him again. She was feeling very uncomfortable, with this weak little body, if the two old women pounced on him, she would be in trouble.
By the time the two old ladies were pulled apart by the other people in the courtyard, they were already dressed in untidy clothes, their hair was disheveled, and scratches were left on their faces. Although their bodies had been pulled over, their mouths had not stopped open, and they were still constantly swearing Ba-la, all sorts of curses and insults, had really broadened Cheng Xi's horizons. She had lived for nineteen years, but this was the first time she had seen such a battle.
At this time, Cheng Xi did not know that after coming to this place, she would often be faced with such a situation.
"Xi, come and drink some water."
The handsome youth's voice suddenly came out, pulling Cheng Xi's attention back to him. Looking at the youth who was squatting in front of him with a worried face, Cheng Xi secretly cursed, it seemed that Cheng Xi had a good Second Brother.
Cheng Xi had not moved the entire time, so the youth brought the bowl close to Cheng Xi's mouth and personally fed it to her, "Come, open your mouth."
Although in the past when she was very ill, her parents would often feed him like this, but suddenly, in front of him, it was a young man she did not know, but Cheng Xi, who had not interacted with any strange man for nineteen years, was not used to being fed by the young man, so she reached out to grab the bowl, but when Cheng Xi saw her hands again, she was stunned. This small hand? Cheng Xi, who had reached out his other hand and placed it in front of her eyes, was unable to react for a moment.
"Xi, what's wrong? Does your hand hurt? "
Only when the youth spoke did Cheng Xi regain her senses. That's right, she was no longer the Cheng Xi who was lying on the sickbed, so Cheng Xi looked at the youth in front of him and asked, "How old am I?"
After the youth heard Cheng Xi's question, her brows knitted even more tightly, and the worry in her eyes became even more obvious, but she still opened her mouth to speak, "Xi is already eleven years old at the end of the year."
"Married at the age of eleven?" Cheng Xi muttered to herself.
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, the youth had a face full of sadness, and said, "It's because Second Brother is useless, unable to protect Xi."
Cheng Xi did not make a sound again, she held the bowl with her head lowered, and slowly drank the water.
At this moment, someone shouted out from the door, "The Village Head is here! The Village Head is here!"
Everyone, including Cheng Xi, turned their gazes towards the entrance. A white-haired, grey-bearded, and dignified little old man, with his hands behind his back, walked in from the entrance of the courtyard. Behind him was a middle-aged man with a neat beard.
When the handsome youth saw the middle-aged man, he excitedly said, "Uncle Huang, quickly come and let my sister see. She doesn't even know who I am anymore."
