Afraid that her brothers would sense something wrong, Cheng Xi urged once again, "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, since Xu Sanlang is back, you guys can go back first. It's already so late, if you don't go home now, you should worry about it.

It was indeed getting late, and it was indeed time to go back. Cheng Chen said to Cheng Xi: You guys did not return, Father said that you guys should return tomorrow to eat.

Cheng Xi hurriedly nodded her head and replied, saying that she would return early tomorrow. After that, the two brothers instructed Cheng Xi a little more and left.

After watching her two brothers leave, Cheng Xi heaved a sigh of relief. She returned to the house, sat on the bench that she had just sent over, and muttered, "He's finally gone."

who was helping Cheng Xi create the medicinal herbs, raised his head and looked at Cheng Xi, then lowered his head and continued to work on the medicinal herbs, and said, "There is nothing to eat tonight."

Cheng Xi had already expected this would happen, hearing Xu Sanlang say it out, she sighed, and rubbed her stomach, and replied: "Did you also get a full meal like this before?"

Xu Sanlang said, "I want to work, I will eventually give some food."

Listening to Xu Sanlang's words, it wasn't as if he didn't give him anything in the past, but it seemed like it was because he came, that his Xu Family wasn't given to his to eat.

Since her Xu Family could not be relied on, she could only rely on himself. Cheng Xi then opened her mouth and repeated what she had said to Xu Sanlang earlier about his brothers. Xu Sanlang lifted his head and looked at Cheng Xi, but did not object like what his brother had done.

"You don't work in the fields anymore?"

Under the oil lamp, a flash of sadness appeared on Xu Sanlang's face, and he replied, "I won't be able to eat anything else from now on."

Cheng Xi immediately understood what Xu Sanlang meant. In the next moment, Old Madam Xu's words appeared in Cheng Xi's mind, but she had already sent over a pack of food, yet she still had such a plan. This old lady, he was truly malicious.

Cheng Xi saw Xu Sanlang's expression, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me, that's why Xu Family treats you like this."

Xu Sanlang did not say anything, he suddenly stood up and walked over to Cheng Xi's side, scaring Cheng Xi, who moved to the side, his face full of fear: "What are you doing?"

"Change the medicine for you."

Listening to Xu Sanlang's words, Cheng Xi sat down obediently in embarrassment, and continued to remove the cotton bandage on her head.

The only thing they had was the pots, pans, and other daily necessities that their two elder brothers had just delivered. There was definitely no need to count on anything else, they could just go back to Cheng Family tomorrow to enjoy the autumn wind for a day, but with the current situation of the Cheng Family, there probably wasn't much that they could hope for, and the rations after that would become a problem.

They also didn't know if the work bags here were enough to cover food and shelter. If they didn't, wouldn't they be starving? There was no use making wild guesses. Cheng Xi thought that she should first let Xu Sanlang bring her to see the situation.

They spent the night in bed, hungry and groggy. The next day, just as the sky was turning white, they got up and went up the mountain.

Cheng Xi looked at the two chickens and two rabbits that Xu Sanlang had brought back, and even his stomach seemed to no longer feel that hungry, there was an unconcealable surprise on his face, "There's that many?"

Xu Sanlang replied as he dealt with a wounded wild chicken, "There are a lot of these wild beasts deep in the mountains."

Hearing Xu Sanlang's words, Cheng Xi had an idea in her heart, and laughed, "Let's take the rest and sell them in the city for money."

Xu Sanlang said, "Go back to your room today and take these back.

Cheng Xi thought for a while, then nodded her head and agreed. Since Xu Sanlang had said that there were a lot of these wild beasts hidden deep in the mountains, he wanted to sell them for money.

Furthermore, it was said that this father of the original Cheng Xi was injured and was lying in bed, so she couldn't go back empty-handed. It was possible that she would still depend on Cheng Family for some matters in the future, so she should establish a good relationship with him.

After the two of them filled their stomachs, Xu Sanlang even chopped off a bundle of firewood, hid the prey in the basket, and then carried the firewood down the mountain with Cheng Xi.

After yesterday's lesson, today, they met a group of youngsters who were chopping wood on the mountain, so they were somewhat more obedient. At most, they would curse a few times and didn't dare to block the way anymore. The two of them walked down the mountain unhindered.

When Cheng Xi saw that the door of the thatched cottage was once again opened, she felt a headache. She could not help but complain to Xu Sanlang who was at the side, "This grandmother of yours … I think it's the possession of a thief. Why are you here again? "

Originally, he wanted to say that it was a thief, but he stopped halfway in time. After all, it was Xu Sanlang's milk.

Because she was carrying an empty basket on her back, Cheng Xi walked quite quickly. Adding to her worry about the things in her house being stolen by the old lady, she jogged back to the thatched cottage.

Seeing that Old Madam Xu was hugging the two blankets and pillow that her brother had given her last night and was holding onto a package wrapped in Xu Sanlang's rescue clothes, Cheng Xi really wanted to go over and tear the old lady apart.

Because the old lady's back was hunched over, and because she was holding onto two quilts and pillows, her line of sight was blocked, she did not see Cheng Xi who was only on fire at the door for a moment.

Cheng Xi resisted the urge to beat her up. She extended her hand and grabbed the package from the old lady's hands, then grabbed a blanket and pillow before hugging herself.

Cheng Xi had originally planned to snatch them all away, but she found that she, who was as small as herself, was unable to hug them all, so she planned to first put the things in her hands away, then snatch the other bed.

"Who are you? You cheap girl, you dare to steal the thing in my hand?" Old Madam Xu saw that it was Cheng Xi, so she carried a blanket and scolded Cheng Xi who was putting it on the bed.

"You shameless old woman, you're the bandit who stole people's belongings. How can you still be so shameless after saying that I stole your belongings? Hurry up and return that blanket back to me."

Cheng Xi put down the things in her hands, seeing the arrogant Old Madam Xu who had stolen from others, she could not help but burst out in anger, but after cursing, she immediately rushed over to grab the old lady's remaining blanket.

How could the Old Madam Xu let go so easily? He hugged the blanket tightly, pulled at Cheng Xi, and cursed, "You uncultured thing, you're my wife, and these are all things related to Xu Family. Let go of me now, if not, I'll let Xu Sanlang divorce you, you slut."

"Heh, who is that bitch talking about?"

"The shrew is talking about you."

"Hmm, you're an old shrew, and an old shrew who shamelessly stole people's belongings."

"You little slut, I'm not done with you today."

"I'm not done with you, you shameless robber."

Xu Sanlang placed the firewood and the basket at the back of the store, then entered, after seeing the blanket in Old Madam Xu's hands, a trace of grief and indignation flashed past his eyes. Then, his expression became cold and he walked over to snatch the blanket from their hands.

He originally had a lot of strength in his body, so he didn't need much strength to pull the blanket out of their hands and put it on the bed.

"What are you doing, you loser? Do you want to partner with this slut and bully this old woman? "Aiyo, the heavens aren't listening to me! My grandson and daughter-in-law have joined hands to treat this old woman evildoer …" As the Old Madam Xu spoke, he plopped down on the ground and slapped his thigh while crying and howling.

Cheng Xi looked at the old lady on the ground and snorted disdainfully, "No one can hear you crying here, why don't you go outside and cry on the road?"

With a darkened face, Xu Sanlang went to pack up the cups and other things that were wrapped up in his clothes. He did not plan to bother with Old Madam Xu at all.

Old Madam Xu howled for a while, but found that it was of no use. Furthermore, Cheng Xi was indeed right, she had howled for quite a while, but no one came over to help her.

Since crying was useless, Old Madam Xu decided to change her strategy. She stood up and threatened Xu Sanlang, "Scourge, if you don't give these things to me today, don't even think about eating Xu Family food."

Cheng Xi leaned against the door with her arms folded across her chest and sneered, "Heh, didn't I already do it yesterday? Can you change it to something new? "

Old Madam Xu suddenly thought of something. She walked out quickly and said, "You guys wait here, I'll come and take care of you later." As she spoke, she quickly headed towards the Xu Family Courtyard.

Cheng Xi looked at Old Madam Xu's figure that was quickly leaving, and said to Xu Sanlang who was inside the house: "You've gone to get reinforcements, what should we do? Why don't we go back to my parents' home and hide for a bit? "

Cheng Xi thought that with Xu Sanlang's fighting strength, even if Old Madam Xu brought reinforcements over, she would still not be her opponent. However, Cheng Xi knew that Xu Sanlang would definitely not fight with someone from the Xu Family, and at that time, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Xu Sanlang did not answer Cheng Xi's question. Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "Bring the pot of water outside."

Cheng Xi saw the metal pot on the earth stove outside. She did not know what Xu Sanlang wanted to do, but she still did as she was asked. She moved the things into the house and asked curiously, "We brought it in, what do you want?"

Xu Sanlang pointed to the corner of the wall, "Put it there." After that, he lowered his head and started rummaging through the items at the foot of the bed.

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang who was searching all over the place, and thought to herself that it wouldn't take long for the Xu Family courtyard to arrive here, so she asked a little impatiently, "What exactly are you looking for? Are you waiting for that old lady to come and take care of us? "

Xu Sanlang fumbled under the bed for a long time before finally standing up. He gave the thing he had just found to Cheng Xi and replied, "Find the lock."
