However, Cheng Cai still said unhappily, "Don't we have men? Do you still have to do all these tasks in the future?" His tone was clearly unsatisfied, his dissatisfied gaze at Xu Sanlang who was working not far away.

When Lady Wu heard her son's words, she frowned and scolded lightly, "Shut your mouth and keep working."

A discordant voice suddenly came from the edge of the field, "That depends on what kind of man it is. I'm afraid some men can't be counted on. I don't even know if they'll be able to keep their lives with those random men."

Cheng Xi raised her head and looked at the person who spoke. If it wasn't her first time knowing someone, wouldn't she be looking for trouble with her aunt?

If only her mother-in-law was here, she might still have some scruples, but when she saw Lady Zhang alone, she did not hold back and scolded back, "Our words have nothing to do with you. Who knows who followed those messed up men, not even taking care of their own little matters, and even had the nerve to scold others."

When the Lady Zhang heard the Wu Clan's words, he was immediately enraged, "What is the meaning of the words you just said, Second Brother?"

Lady Wu said disdainfully, "Why do you have to say it like that? Can't you even understand what people are saying?" "I think elder sister-in-law should hurry to Miss Yu's house at the village entrance. It's hard to say why Lady Yu is treating those random men to tea."

When Lady Zhang heard Lady Wu's words, the expression on his face gradually became distorted. With a fierce glare at Lady Wu, he quickly left.

When Cheng Xi heard the conversation between the two, she felt that it was full of content. Thus, Cheng Xi who had a gossiping mindset slowly walked to the side of Lady Wu and asked curiously, "Who is this Lady Yu? What does it have to do with our uncle? "

Lady Wu raised her head and looked at Cheng Xi, and scolded lightly, "You're a young lady, why are you asking about this? "Don't blindly ask about these things in the future."

Cheng Xi chuckled, but didn't give up and continued to speak with Lady Wu, "I'm no longer a girl now, I'm already married; furthermore, I'm not just asking around, based on the morals of the Eldest Aunt, anyone who has nothing will look for me for trouble. If I knew that there was something wrong with her, I could just use words to stop her from doing anything in the future."

After Lady Wu heard Cheng Xi's words, she agreed. "That's right, if she comes looking for trouble with you in the future, you can just use your words to anger her to death."

Cheng Xi took the opportunity to ask, "Then why don't you tell me what happened to Lady Yu?"

Madame Wu lowered her voice, and said softly, "What Yu Family's daughter, she's just a brothel girl that no one dares to marry. As long as she's an old man with ill intentions in our village, who doesn't have anything to do with her, your uncle, he just runs around other people's houses everyday anyway, your Eldest Aunt looks at people like they are children every day, hmph, it's not like he can't look at people."

Cheng Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "If it's like this, then it's fine. This kind of behavior, shouldn't it cause a pig cage to be soaked in water?"

Lady Wu pouted. "Her parents have turned a blind eye. Who cares what her morals are? That man's wife had found her mother's family and tied her up, trying to make the Village Head stand up for her. Before the Village Head could decide on how to deal with this matter, someone from the yamen had already arrived, saying that Lady Yu was her sister and whoever wanted to do something to her sister would be sent to jail. With this kind of disturbance, who would dare to bother with her? Even if you suffer a loss, you can only grit your teeth and swallow it down, or try to be like your aunt, trying to find a way to take care of your man. "

Cheng Xi was startled when she heard it, she truly did not think that such a thing would happen here. Lady Wu saw that Cheng Xi had been quiet the entire time, and when she saw Cheng Xi's stunned expression, she reminded him: "This person is not simple, you better not provoke her."

Cheng Xi came back to reality and replied, "Don't worry, why should I go and provoke her? I'm not a man, hehe. "

Lady Wu reprimanded him. "Why do you seem to be getting more and more out of hand? Hurry up and get to work."

Cheng Cai, who was not working too far away, would occasionally look towards Cheng Xi and his mother, and then go closer to Cheng Chen and said, "Brother, why do I feel that after Xi gets married, she has a better relationship with my mother?"

Cheng Chen replied, "Isn't this good?"

Cheng Cai laughed and replied, "It is good, it is good, I have seen too much of the conflict between the two in the past, I am not used to this sudden change, hehe."

Cheng Chen sighed, "The former Xi was still a child, but now that she encountered such an unexpected turn of events, she finally grew up and became sensible. It was just that she had to suffer Xi's hardships and face it at such a young age."

"I'll be nice to her later."

This sudden interruption caused Cheng Chen and Cheng Chen to jump, and immediately realised that the one who spoke was Xu Sanlang. Cheng Cai glared at Xu Sanlang unhappily and said coldly: "If you dare to treat her badly, let's give it a try."

Seeing that Cheng Cai was still in a tense situation, Cheng Chen quickly explained, "The brother-in-law already said that he wanted to be good to Xi, stop spouting nonsense and get back to work."

Compared to the attitude that the Xu Family Member treated him with, it was much better. Xu Sanlang knew that Cheng Cai treated him because he cared about Cheng Xi, out of love for his sister, and did not care about Cheng Cai at all.

Towards this kind of Cheng Family Member, Xu Sanlang felt warmth in his heart, even if it was the same work, the feeling was different.

Not long after, another person arrived. It was Cheng Xi's Fourth Uncle. Cheng Xi still had some impression of him, it should have been from before.

Different from the old granny and Eldest Aunt, they did not come here to cause trouble, but to help out. Knowing that the Second Brother family was in trouble because of the accident, they came to help out.

With such a comparison, Cheng Xi couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, Why is the difference between humans so huge?

With the help of so many people, the work in the Cheng Family area was finished. After that, the group of people happily went back.

Madam Wu glared at Cheng Dagui with dissatisfaction, "Xi will be leaving tomorrow. If you want to make sure Xi doesn't even have enough food to eat, then go and fetch your mother."

Cheng Dagui's face instantly turned red, he felt sorry for his daughter, but he also wanted to filial piety for her, and being stuck in the middle was hard, but after hearing what Lady Wu said, he felt like venting his anger on her.

Seeing his own Second Brother's Second Sister-in-Law's anxious eyes, Cheng Dahua remembered how her mother brought up Cheng Xi. He sighed and advised, "Second Brother, just take care of my mother properly, Xi will leave tomorrow, let her eat at home peacefully."

Cheng Dagui replied with reddened eyes, "Alright, I will listen to you."

Without anything to stop them, the entire family ate together happily. Although Cheng Dagui did not really like him, and even though his family were a little afraid of his reputation, they would not say anything excessive or do anything excessive. Lady Wu actually liked Xu Sanlang, so she kept on calling Xu Sanlang over to eat.

Because they were leaving early the next morning, after dinner, they sent off Fourth Uncle's family, and packed up to rest early.

The next morning, when Cheng Xi woke up, the Wu family had already prepared breakfast, and would be busy since the sun had not risen. After everyone had eaten breakfast, Cheng Dagui sent Cheng Chen to send the two of them to the town, and only after that did he reluctantly send them off.

Cheng Cai wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lady Wu.

In order to reduce the amount of travel, Cheng Xi still asked Xu Sanlang to bring them through the mountain. Cheng Chen was a little worried, but she could not endure Cheng Xi's insistence, and had no choice but to compromise.

When they arrived at a place on the mountain where there were no signs of human habitation, Cheng Chen took out a bunch of silver from his pocket and gave it to Cheng Xi, "Take this money, although it's not much, you can still take it as an emergency measure, it's not good if you don't have some silver on you."

Cheng Xi immediately refused and pushed it back. Second Brother Cheng Chen was not an outsider, Cheng Xi did not hide it from him and directly said, "There is no need, Xu Sanlang has hidden a lot of money, several hundred gold, Brother Qian will keep it for Father to retrieve."

Cheng Chen suspiciously took a glance at Xu Sanlang, and only after receiving Xu Sanlang's response, did he let go of his worries. He said in a very gratified manner, "That's good, then I'll leave this money to Father to get the medicine."

Cheng Xi nodded his head, and said, "If you lack money, then go to the county and inform us, at least we can be of some help."

Cheng Chen replied somewhat hoarsely, "It's because Second Brother is useless, and it always causes you to feel wronged. You still have to worry about family matters."

Even though they hadn't known each other for long, Cheng Xi knew that these family members truly worried about and cared for him. Even if she didn't really care about them, Cheng Xi was very moved by their affection, and gradually accepted these family members as well. After all, she would still have to live here in the future, and these family members would all depend on each other in the future.
