Old Madam Xu, who did not plan to take action at first, upon seeing her second grandson who had crawled up from the ground, had her face beaten purple and green, like a pig's head. She was unable to calm down in an instant, and dragged a bamboo pole from a corner and rushed up, yelling, "You little bastard, you dared to come here to my Xu Family to beat me up, see if I don't beat you up today."
As for Lady Ma, the one who came along with her was watching on the side with a calm expression. She did not plan to interfere, and the one who hit her wasn't her son either, so what did it have to do with her?
When Xu Sanlang saw Xu Family Member, he stopped in his tracks and did not continue forward. Cheng Xi stood behind Xu Sanlang and stared at the tall and sturdy youth who was said to be her big brother, while flusteredly dodging the attacks of the two shrew women. She shouted that if she did not stop, he was about to retaliate, but in the end, she did not dare to.
"What do we do now?" Cheng Xi looked at the farce in front of him and asked Xu Sanlang who was at his side.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sanlang who was beside him actually turned around and walked away, directly heading over to the field that he had just come from.
Cheng Xi speechlessly watched Xu Sanlang's back as he left, and in the end, shouted with some hope, "Don't go, what do we do now?"
However, that figure didn't seem to hear him and didn't even turn his head around.
Cheng Xi looked at his brother, who was still entangled by the two shrews, and quickly thought about how to save him.
However, the speed at which the plot was changing truly made Cheng Xi unable to react. Just as Cheng Xi was staring at the corner thinking about the countermeasures, a forty year old tanned muscular woman appeared at the corner of the courtyard wall. Seeing that scene, she immediately joined the battle and hooted, "Black hearted old pious servant, shameless slut, bully my son, I'll fight you guys to the death."
The moment Cheng Xi saw the woman join the battle, the scene changed instantly. She could not help but mutter to herself, "This battle power, sure enough, is not just for show. At the same time, she felt relieved for her big brother.
Such a big commotion soon attracted the attention of many onlookers, but not many people came forward to stop them. Even if they did try to stop them, they would not dare to do so.
Cheng Xi paid attention to the surrounding crowd, and was glad that the men from Xu Family were not at home. If they had also joined in the battle, this situation would be even harder to handle.
In the end, someone called for the village chief to come over and stopped them in their tracks with an angry shout. These people had already started to tear each other's clothes, and had lost all of their image, but of course, they did not have the time to worry about their image.
"What's going on? Why are they fighting again? " The old elder asked with a dignified voice that carried a hint of anger.
Cheng Xi thought about it carefully. It looked like she had gotten up because of him again, and was trying her best to lower the feeling of her existence, thinking that she should leave now. However, when she looked at the surrounding onlookers, she still obediently stood where she was.
At that time, she shouldn't have worried about that so-called brother that she had never seen before, instead, she should have escaped quickly like Xu Sanlang. Now that she was standing here, she was in a dilemma.
When the few people involved had clearly explained everything that had happened, and everyone's gazes once again focused on Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi sighed in her heart, and when everyone's eyes were on him, she revealed a terrified expression as much as possible.
It had to be said that her face was extremely deceptive. When the crowd saw the cautious and fearful expression on Cheng Xi's face, some of them couldn't help but exclaim, "This child, being able to become like this is truly pitiful."
Didn't they say that they were going to marry Xu Erlang? How did he become the Xu Sanlang with a tough life? "
"This Xu Family is too unkind. Originally, she was fine, but now that she has been turned into a fool, she will live with Xu Sanlang in the future. Who knows how many years she will have to live for."
The crowd's discussions were not quiet, and when the Old Madam Xu heard this, she could not help but clamor, "What does my Xu Family have to do with you guys, quickly scram."
Seeing Old Madam Xu who was about to start making a scene again, the village chief had a headache. He was worried that she was going to fight with other villagers again, so she said, "Is there nothing else to do? "Hurry up and leave, what should we do now?"
Due to the prestige of the village head, they gradually dispersed, but there were still many people who liked to gossip standing far away to continue watching. When there were only a few people involved, the village head spoke to Old Madam Xu, "I remember that the Xi was first betrothed to your family's Erlang, right? How did it become Sanlang?"
Old Madam Xu curled her lips and insisted, "This wife is for Sanlang."
The sturdy woman then spat at the Old Madam Xu, "Old pious grandpa, at that time, we clearly matched the words' Xi and Xu Erlang ', why did it become' Xu Sanlang '? "You are cheating on the marriage."
Lady Lee said complacently, "What, if you don't want to, then return the silver back to our Xu Family and bring him back!"
When the sturdy woman heard Lady Lee's words, she maintained her silence. No matter how angry she was, she kept her mouth shut.
As for the tall and sturdy youth who had finally escaped, after hearing what the Lady Lee said, she directly rushed towards Cheng Xi's direction. After that, she pulled Cheng Xi towards the intersection he came from and said, "Xi, let's go, this brother will bring you home."
They had only taken two steps when the road in front of them was blocked. This time, the Old Madam Xu, who were fighting just a moment ago, and the sturdy woman both had a rare tacit understanding and blocked their path.
"If you want to take your men away, return a silver tael to me first."
"Ah Fu, what are you doing? Hurry up and let go."
The two of them spoke at the same time, saying different words, but they were both preventing the burly teenager from bringing Cheng Xi away.
"Do you think I, the village chief, am a dead man here? Tell me, what exactly are your families up to? It is simply disgraceful to our Stone Bridge Village, a good girl has been turned into a fool by you all. "
Old Madam Xu did not even put this village chief in her eyes. Her fourth son was an Elementary Scholar, and she was an Elementary Scholar's mother, a small village head, yet she dared to put on airs in front of her. The Old Madam Xu replied disdainfully, "Village head, aren't you saying a bit too much? Besides, which grandson of mine is going to get a wife? It doesn't seem like I need to ask the Village Head for permission first, right? Also, this girl is a fool to begin with, what do you mean she has been tortured by us to become a fool? "Hmph, Xu Sanlang looks strong enough to work, but a silly girl can marry him, how can she not be satisfied.
The Old Madam Xu had a good mouth, but after being pulled back by her, the village head could not refute her anymore. She felt that she could not care less about this matter, so she flung her sleeves and said angrily, "I can't care less, you guys go ahead and mess things up. If you keep fighting, I can only call the town's yamen runners over."
Cheng Xi watched as the village chief left in a hurry. Then, how was he going to resolve the situation here? The burly teenager who claimed to be his brother was still holding onto his hand as if he had no intention of letting go. There were two other people in front who were blocking his way, but they also did not seem to have any intention of giving way.
Everyone looked at him with different expressions: disgust, resentment, and sympathy …
How could he get out of this situation? That's right, pretend to be stupid.
Cheng Xi shook off the youth holding onto her hand with all her might and retreated with a face full of fear. She looked at the rest of the people and asked with a voice filled with fear, "You, who are you?"
The burly teenager turned his head to look at Cheng Xi and saw the little girl who had flung him off. Looking at his unfamiliar and terrified eyes, he asked with sadness, "Xi, I am Fourth Brother.
The sturdy woman grabbed the tall and sturdy youth, her mouth muttering, "You ran here as soon as you came back, don't you know where your home is?" "Come back with me, you unfilial thing."
Hearing the woman's words, the young man stood up in a different way as he replied unhappily, "Mother, I said that I would earn money to save Father, but in the end, I just turned around and you all pushed Xi into the pit of fire. I want to bring Xi back."
The woman slapped the youth. "You brainless thing, do you think that just because you changed your surname and went back, they would help you save your father? Dream on, hurry up and come back with me. Xi has already been in the Xu Family Gate for a few days, what are you bringing her back for now? It will also ruin her reputation. How will you make her live in the future? "
"But Xi is following Xu Sanlang, what if something happens? I'm going to bring Xi back anyway, I, I, at worst, I'll raise Xi."
"You brainless thing, hurry up and f * ck off back with me. Aiyo, you're really going to anger this old lady to death."
Xu Family Member watched as the mother and son talked for a long time, listening to their conversation, she could not help but mock them, "My son is right, they are truly a adulterous couple, at such a young age, and yet they are both in the same house, I'm afraid they have already hooked up with each other."
The sturdy woman only wanted to pull her son back first, so even if she wanted to tear Lady Lee's mouth apart, she could only endure it. She stared at Lady Lee angrily, before continuing to pull her son away.
Cheng Xi felt that if the mother and son duo continued to stay here, there was a high possibility of another fight occurring. However, at the moment, it seemed like the only way would be to convince the young man who called himself her brother to leave first, and this farce would then stop.
So when Cheng Xi gently called out "Fourth Brother", the youth heard Cheng Xi calling him and excitedly shook off the woman's hand and half squatted in front of Cheng Xi, then looked at Cheng Xi and excitedly asked, "Xi, you know Fourth Brother?"
Cheng Xi went close to the youth's ear and whispered a few words into his ear. The youth was stunned, and a hint of a smile finally appeared on her face. She nodded at her, then stood up and said to the robust woman, "Mother, let's go."
