Seeing such a caring daughter, Cheng Dagui's heart finally calmed down a little, and she allowed Cheng Xi to drink the medicine for him.
Cheng Xi had always been curious as to why Xu Sanlang had a reputation of being unyielding, and was so unpopular. His Xu Family had even forced him into that kind of lousy thatched hut, and she definitely could not ask Xu Sanlang about this, so she took the chance to ask his father, and said, "Father, why do so many people say that Xu Sanlang is unyielding, and that even the Xu Family Member does not like him?"
"When Xu Sanlang was just a few years old, he fell into the river. His parents jumped in to save him, but in the end, his father actually threw him ashore, while his parents drowned. Logically speaking, that river wasn't very deep, and his father also knew how to swim, so his parents shouldn't have drowned.
Cheng Xi said in a speechless manner, "Is that it? Everyone believes that? Maybe his father had a cramp in his leg and her mother went to save his father, so he drowned? "
Cheng Dagui continued to speak, "At that time, Xu Sanlang's grandfather's Fann Family heard about this matter, and it was because of your thoughts that it was an accident. Seeing that his Xu Family was not good for Xu Sanlang, and that Xu Sanlang was still young, the Fann Family accepted him, not wanting him to stay here for less than two years, when his first uncle and first aunt successively passed on like this, and one after another. The rumors of Xu Sanlang's fate became more and more bizarre, how could anyone not believe it. The Xu Family Member didn't dare let him stay in the Xu Family either, but since he still had the Xu Family's bloodline and the Old Master Xu still existed, he decided not to chase him out and built a thatched hut for him to stay in for so many years. I heard that last year, even the elders of the Fann Family passed away from sickness. Xu Sanlang's grandmother was sick, lying on the bed, only old man Fan's wife supported her Fann Family, brought along a child over a year old, and completely broke off all relations with Xu Sanlang. "
After Cheng Xi heard it, she could not help but sigh, "This Fann Family is truly tragic, but the most wicked thing is the fortune-telling, how can you push all this onto a child?"
Cheng Dagui looked at Cheng Xi in shock, "Xi doesn't believe me?"
Cheng Xi shook her head, "These people who died from the Fann Family were definitely infected by something, instead of thinking about treatment, she blamed it all on Xu Sanlang. From what I see, if this old lady did not treat the Fann Family well, and even thought about it, it is because of Xu Sanlang's tenacity, I'm afraid she will not live for long."
After Cheng Dagui heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to stop his, "How can you speak of such nonsense, if others hear it, say that you are cursing the elders, you must not speak of it again."
Cheng Xi pursed her lips, "I was only speaking the truth, and anyway there are no outsiders." Seeing that her father was staring at him, she hurriedly corrected herself, "I won't say anymore in the future."
At this time, Cheng Dagui thought carefully about what Cheng Xi had said, and realized that Cheng Xi had been speaking up for him the entire time, so he worriedly opened his mouth, "Why have you been speaking up for Xu Sanlang, you can't have taken a fancy to that Xu Sanlang, right?"
Cheng Xi immediately shook her head, "What does this have to do with taking a fancy to Xu Sanlang, it was all because of that fortune-telling nonsense. I was just saying a few words on his behalf."
In Cheng Dagui's heart, he was certain that Cheng Xi had taken a fancy to that Xu Sanlang. In his eyes, Xu Sanlang was the one with the toughest life, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? The relatives that were slightly close to him all had such short lives, but this Xi still continued to defend Xu Sanlang.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he said, "No, you can't stay with Xu Sanlang any longer, for the next few days I'll discuss with your Aunt Wu about selling a piece of the land, and even have Xu Family's betrothal gift to bring you back."
Cheng Xi heard that they were going to sell the land to redeem her back. Not to mention whether this empress wouldn't cause a ruckus, even if it was just some milk that was messed up, it would probably cause a huge stir in the Cheng Family. She hurriedly shook her head, "Please don't. I don't believe that fortune telling is hard, and I feel that it's good to be following Xu Sanlang right now. I don't believe that my parents will watch me, so I'll definitely live a good life."
Cheng Dagui glared at Cheng Xi, "Didn't you say that you had your eyes on Xu Sanlang? I'll listen to dad about this. There are a lot of good guys, but in the future, Daddy will find someone even better than Xu Sanlang for you. "
Lady Wu who was packing up in the living room suddenly stood at the door, and spoke with a sarcastic tone: "Where are you going to find someone better than Xu Sanlang? How long has it been since Xi married into Xu Family? Do you think she is a girl who has yet to leave the pavilion? If you were to come back and lose your reputation, how can you marry anyone? You better not have any ideas on me, I definitely won't agree. Hmph, after all, aren't we just going to accept the nonsense of that fool, the blind man? Do you want to just kick me out as well? I definitely won't agree to such a thing, don't even think about it, otherwise you will expel me from the Cheng Family and you can do whatever you want with this family. "
Cheng Dagui, who was on the bed, turned red after hearing what he said. He glared at his and roared: "I am the patriarch of the Wu family. I have the final say in this matter."
The Wu family didn't give in and said with a cold smile, "Then we'll talk after you chase me out."
When Cheng Cai heard the roar from outside, he hurriedly came in. Looking at his parents whose faces were flushed red, he asked with suspicion, "What happened to his that he was perfectly fine again? "Mom, Uncle Huang said that father's body cannot take offense, so speak less. Don't make Father angry."
Cheng Xi gasped for breath as she spoke, "Father, don't be angry, we can talk about this later, you should take care of your body first."
Cheng Dagui bellowed, "Is this something that can be delayed?"
"You can either chase me out of the Cheng Family, or else there's no room for discussion. You're still lying on the bed half-dead, why would you want to eat if you sold our entire family?"
The Wu Family dared to threaten Cheng Dagui because they knew that Cheng Dagui could not chase them out of the Xu Family.
However, even though he had angered Cheng Dagui, he did not plan to give in and replied angrily: "You think I don't dare?"
Seeing her attitude, Cheng Xi knew that this father might actually say something she shouldn't in her anger, and hurriedly opened her mouth to stop him, "Anyways, I'm following Xu Sanlang, stop arguing, if you want to disturb me again, go back."
Cheng Dagui looked at Cheng Xi with a heartbroken face, "Are you silly?"
Mrs. Wu snorted, "I see that Xi is much more clear-headed than you. If I really have to listen to you, Xi doesn't even need to live anymore. "In your dreams."
Cheng Xi gave a meaningful glance to Cheng Cai, who was standing at the door, and quickly pulled Lady Wu out. Cheng Xi said while taking by surprise, "Father, you watch, I will definitely follow Xu Sanlang, the better my days will be, you don't need to worry about it."
Cheng Dagui said with a pained face, "How can I not be worried? The matter of fortune-telling is nonsense on the part of that Blind Lee, but with Xu Sanlang's current situation, how can you live a good life with her? This Xu Family and our family is in such a mess because of you, so how can Xu Family treat you, and how can you live a good life in the Xu Family? How can Father bear to see you suffer alongside Xu Sanlang at Xu Family? "
Hearing Cheng Dagui's words, Cheng Xi sighed in her heart, and continued to console him, "These days are all spent here, Xu Sanlang is a diligent person, I'm not stupid, rest assured Father, we will definitely lead a good life."
Cheng Dagui looked at the wound on Cheng Xi's head, and asked worriedly, "Is your side, really fine?"
Cheng Xi replied, "It's fine, I just forgot about the past, and am not like how others think I am a fool. I am smart, don't worry, maybe when my injuries slowly improve, I will remember the past slowly."
Just then, Cheng Cai suddenly appeared at the door and said, "Second Brother has brought Uncle Huang over." It seemed like they had specifically come in to tell Cheng Xi and Cheng Dagui not to talk about Xu Sanlang anymore.
Cheng Dagui originally wanted to say more, but in the end, he held it in and the room fell silent.
First, he changed the medicine for Cheng Dagui and then gave him a pulse. The injury on his head was no longer serious, but he could not remember the things that happened in the past, so he was unable to explain it, causing everyone in Cheng Family to be depressed.
Cheng Xi, on the other hand, was the one who comforted the rest of the Cheng Family without a care. She naturally understood that this doctor definitely could not see the reason, as the soul within his body had changed. How could he possibly remember the past?
No one noticed that Cheng Xi herself did not care much about it, adding to the fact that Huang Lang said that Cheng Xi's body was fine, since Cheng Xi's body was healthy, they would no longer bother about this issue.
Xu Sanlang had been silently standing at the side ever since he entered the door, and didn't speak either. This made the Cheng Dagui who didn't like him to start with want to pick a fault and scold him a few times, to the point where he couldn't even find a reason to do so.
Xu Sanlang seemed to have also felt that he was not very pleasing to the eye here. After waiting for Huang Lang to finish treating the two of them and then be sent off, he finally spoke up, "I still have a bit of time to go, I'll come back to pick you up tonight."
Hearing Xu Sanlang's words, he only snorted, and Cheng Xi pretended not to hear it, and immediately asked: "Where are you going?"
Seeing how Cheng Xi was so concerned about Xu Sanlang, Cheng Dagui was even more annoyed and scolded, "He's such a grown man, don't you care where he goes and what he does?"
When Xu Sanlang heard his own words, he was not angry, he only replied, "I'm going to take a look at the town, don't go back yet, wait for me to come back to pick you up." Xu Sanlang was afraid that Cheng Xi would go back by herself, and she would suffer losses when facing her own mother.
When the Wu family heard that Xu Sanlang wanted to leave, they steeled their hearts to fight with Cheng Dagui, and directly stopped him, "To which town would you go? Where would you go to to to accompany your daughter-in-law back to your parents' home? If your daughter-in-law went to her home, she would have to stay there by herself, and this would cause Xi to be unable to raise her head in front of others."
