Cheng Xi opened her eyes wide in disbelief. That package was something her family brought over for her to eat, what did Old Madam Xu mean?
"Get out of the way, what about blocking the door as a god? The departed star. "
Old Madam Xu's scolding voice caused Cheng Xi to come back to her senses, and she unceremoniously snatched the package from Old Madam Xu's hands and tightly hugged it.
After that, he raised his hand and waved it towards Cheng Xi, and even scolded him, "You misbegotten star, you dare to snatch my things, I'll turn you around, and see if I'll slap you to death."
Fortunately, Cheng Xi reacted quickly and jumped behind Xu Sanlang. Xu Sanlang was tall and big, the palm from Old Madam Xu landed on Xu Sanlang's arm, and Xu Sanlang opened his mouth with a darkened face, "Grandma, that package was gifted to me by Cheng Xi's family."
Old Madam Xu glared at her and scolded, "You think you can hide the things sent by your parents? "No matter who sent it, they should have handed it over to me. At such a young age, you've already learned how to hide it. This is truly defying the heavens. You despicable girl, bring a bag over."
Cheng Xi hid behind Xu Sanlang and made a face at the Old Madam Xu, replying, "Not giving, not even giving us breakfast, on what grounds are we giving it to you?"
Cheng Xi had long offended this old lady, so Cheng Xi did not hope to get on good terms with her. She might as well break all ties and fight her, and with this food in her hands, how could she still have her share?
"Slut, watch how I'll deal with you today." Old Madam Xu hooted as she reached out to grab Cheng Xi who was behind Xu Sanlang.
How could Cheng Xi let the Old Madam Xu grab him? He dodged around Xu Sanlang agilely, avoided the Demon Claw of the Old Madam Xu, and even made faces at the Old Madam Xu from time to time. The Old Madam Xu was angry and tired, and in the end, he was too tired to continue chasing after Cheng Xi, so he directly slapped Xu Sanlang on the arm and scolded, "Scoundrel, it's fine if you don't help, but you still dare to cover for that bitch."
It was also because Old Madam Xu's body was bent, and because she was already a distance away from Xu Sanlang, Old Madam Xu's slap could only land on Xu Sanlang's arm. If she had been able to face him, her slap would have definitely landed on Xu Sanlang's face.
Cheng Xi thought about how strong and sturdy Xu Sanlang looked, and with this slap from Old Madam Xu, she was not worried, but when Xu Sanlang was facing Xu Family Member, Cheng Xi had pretty much figured out his personality. No matter how angry she was, she would at most ignore him with a cold face, and would definitely not confront Xu Family Member.
Cheng Xi didn't really expect Xu Sanlang to help him either. There was only the Old Madam Xu, and Cheng Xi felt that he wouldn't be able to do anything to her. So no matter what, she wouldn't give the package in her hands to the Old Madam Xu.
After being slapped by the Old Madam Xu, Xu Sanlang remained standing at the door with his lips pursed, as though he had no intention to intervene. It was not that the Old Madam Xu did not want to slap him, but she realized that after that slap, Xu Sanlang did not react at all, but her hand was still in pain.
In the end, Old Madam Xu still retracted his hand, but she did not remain idle. Xu Sanlang continued to curse, and pretended not to hear it, as Cheng Xi circled around Xu Sanlang, and agilely avoided her hand that was trying to snatch the bag while Cheng Xi was not paying attention, maintaining a stalemate.
After all, she was still an old man, and very quickly, Old Madam Xu was exhausted to the point that she felt dizzy from circling Xu Sanlang, and she didn't manage to snatch the package away from him. Seeing that Xu Sanlang didn't seem to be intending to interfere at all, Old Madam Xu could only give up, leave the room with a darkened face and scold, "Sworn down star, unfilial thing, don't even think about eating my Xu Family food in the future."
Cheng Xi proudly made a face at the back of Old Madam Xu before she left, hurriedly entering the room and placing his bag on the old and broken table to open it. She wanted to see what was good to eat, but she was already hungry, and after going through so much, she was even hungrier.
When Xu Sanlang heard the words of the Old Madam Xu again, he frowned.
Cheng Xi who was in high spirits opened her package and took a bite off a piece of cake. She drooped her head, no matter how hungry she was, she was too lazy to be picky, it was just that this bite of hers was too much for her to bear.
Cheng Xi took a big bite of the stone cake in her hand as if she was venting her anger. As she was chewing with force, she mumbled to herself, "I really can't live anymore."
Xu Sanlang, who had been standing at the door all this time, finally turned around and entered the door as well.
Cheng Xi casually made a sound of acknowledgement, and when she finally understood the meaning of Xu Sanlang's words, she forgot to swallow the biscuit in her mouth, as she puffed up her cheeks and stared at Xu Sanlang.
As if asking herself "why?", Xu Sanlang tried with all his might to resist the desire to poke his on his round, chubby face. He hurriedly shifted his gaze away and unconsciously explained, "If I leave behind this package, I won't have any food to eat in the future."
Cheng Xi swallowed the biscuit in her mouth, recalling what Old Madam Xu had said when she left: Don't think about eating anything from Xu Family from now on, which means to say that if you don't deliver all the food in the bag to her, you will have nothing to eat in the future?
However, Cheng Xi felt that even if she sent this package over, with the extent of offending the Old Madam Xu, even if she was given it, she would probably not be fed, would she?
But if he did not send it over, Xu Sanlang would not be able to rely on his Xu Family anymore.
After sighing helplessly, Cheng Xi finally stuffed the bundle back to Xu Sanlang, "You can send it over."
Xu Sanlang took the bag, and took out another piece of cake from inside, and stuffed it in Cheng Xi's hands, and then took the bag out and left.
Cheng Xi was left alone, sitting at the edge of the bed, furiously chewing on a stone pancake and cursing at the broken thatched cottage, "What the f * ck am I, a transmigrator doing? I can't even fill my stomach with food, other than this broken thatched cottage, there's nothing else."
When Cheng Xi finished her last mouthful of the stone pancake, she also returned. However, her expression was even colder than usual, and she was afraid that she would be angered if she did not get anything good after going over there.
As she thought about the reason she wanted Xu Sanlang to deliver the package to him, Cheng Xi still asked, "How is it?"
Xu Sanlang did not understand Cheng Xi's meaning, he looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, and Cheng Xi could only ask, "Did the little old lady say whether she would give him food or not?"
Xu Sanlang replied in a muffled voice, "I didn't say."
Cheng Xi frowned, and looked at Xu Sanlang who had his head lowered, "It can't be that this little old lady is going to take the food away, yet he isn't giving it to us, right? This is really wicked. "
Xu Sanlang took the hoe that was placed against the wall, and said while he was walking, "It's not time for dinner yet, follow me and call for milk from now on, I'm going to work."
Cheng Xi curled her lips, she did not need such a grandmother, seeing that Xu Sanlang had already gone towards the ground, Cheng Xi immediately picked up the stone pancake Xu Sanlang gave him that she did not eat, and ran off after her.
As for that thatched hut, Cheng Xi was too lazy to close the door, since it was not locked and there was not much use in closing the door. Furthermore, there was nothing worth stealing from others in that hut anymore, so just let the old lady rummage through as she pleased.
After catching up to Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi placed the stone pancake in front of Xu Sanlang, "Here."
Xu Sanlang glanced at it, then quickened his pace and continued walking, "Eat it yourself."
Cheng Xi caught up and continued to give it to Xu Sanlang, "I've already eaten one, I'm full." Xu Sanlang had done half a day's worth of work, he was definitely hungrier than himself who didn't do anything.
It was just that Xu Sanlang did not seem to plan to receive the stone pancake from Cheng Xi's hands, Cheng Xi looked at the stone pancake in her hands, although she was not really full yet, but this pancake was already in her mouth with all the teeth, Cheng Xi really did not want to eat it anymore, so she could only rush over and stuff it into Xu Sanlang's hands, then pouted and said, "Anyways, I'm not eating it, if you like it, then eat it, if you don't, so just throw it away."
Xu Sanlang raised his head and looked at Cheng Xi, and coincidentally saw the look of despise on Cheng Xi's face, and was slightly stunned. He immediately picked up the stone pancake, and ate it in a few bites, and at the same time sighed in his heart, thinking that this little girl was probably spoiled by her Cheng Family. Not going back to the Cheng Family with her brother, and even forcing herself to come along with, wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Once again, the two of them passed by the Little Cao Bao Valley. It was already late in the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and the Bao Gu Valley was located in the valley. The sun was blocked by the mountains, so the land was no longer scorched.
It was not good for Cheng Xi to continue hiding under the tree and take advantage of the shade. She followed Xu Sanlang and went down the ground, preparing to help Xu Sanlang pull some grass from the ground.
After all, he had never done these things before. He was afraid of bugs and also afraid of dirt.
When Xu Sanlang saw that Cheng Xi had gone down to help him, he curiously glanced at him from time to time. But when he saw Cheng Xi plucking the grass, his eyes widened, and for the first time, Xu Sanlang placed his toes on the ground, and carefully moved forward step by step, as if he was afraid that he would stomp an ant to death. Furthermore, the way he was plucking the grass made him even more speechless.
"You should go over there and wait." Seeing Cheng Xi's eye popping movements, Xu Sanlang finally could not hold back and opened his mouth to speak.
Cheng Xi did not plan to retreat just like that, she shook her head, clenched her teeth, and finally released some of her movement.
It was just that after a short while, Cheng Xi gave up and sat down on a rock at the edge of the field. It was not that she was tired of it, but Cheng Xi had not expected the grass in the field to grow so tough.
