When Lady Wu saw her difficult mother-in-law leave just like that, she was in disbelief. When she couldn't see the old lady's shadow, Lady Wu finally retracted her astonished gaze and looked at Cheng Xi. She asked with a face full of doubt, "What did you say to you in the end?
Cheng Xi mischievously blinked her eyes at Lady Wu, then went over to Lady Wu's side and quietly whispered a few words to her. After that, Lady Wu smiled and gave Cheng Xi a thumbs up.
Although he was very curious, his personality was such that he would not ask, so he was still a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
After sending the Old Madam Cheng away, they cleaned up and went to the corn.
Breaking a corn cob might be easy for Xu Sanlang, but for Cheng Xi, it was very hard work. Luckily, Cheng Xi did not do it all the time, and Xu Sanlang was not really surprised when he saw how pretentious she was working.
However, Cheng Qiang, who was following his down, had a face full of disgust. Looking at his sister carrying a corn cob that was stuck to his corn, he said in disdain, "Sis, you're so stupid.
Cheng Xi looked at her little brother who was holding onto a corn cob, staring at him with wide open eyes, and asked curiously, "Is that so?" His hands moved according to Cheng Qiang and practiced for a bit, then she looked at the corn cob in his hands with a face full of joy, "Really?"
Cheng Qiang took the corn on Cheng Xi's hand and acted as a porter, carrying the two corn on his shoulders as he walked towards the basket. Cheng Xi looked at his three year old brother, feeling very ashamed, he sent his own younger brother into the basket, yet he couldn't win against his younger brother.
Not long after, it was hot and sunburned. In addition to the dried corn leaves sweeping across his face, Cheng Xi was already exhausted to the point of sweating profusely. His face was completely red, and there were even lines of red marks on her neck and face from the corn leaves.
Xu Sanlang, who came to carry the corn on the basket, saw Cheng Xi's appearance and frowned. He went over to help Cheng Xi remove the corn on the corn on the stick that he had kneaded for a long time, and said, "You can go back first, I'll be fine with the rest."
When the Wu family heard the commotion, they raised their heads and saw Cheng Xi's condition, they also said, "Xi, take Xiao Qiang back to make lunch, and heat up your father's medicine, and let him drink it."
Although normally he wouldn't eat lunch, his son-in-law was a guest and even helped him with his work. He couldn't just wait and wait.
Cheng Xi lifted her sleeves to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she felt that she could no longer hold on, she did not want to be so delicate, but there was no other way, she knew very well that she was only at such a big point, if she really suffered from heat stroke, the losses would not make up for the losses, thus she nodded and pulled Cheng Qiang who had been helping beside her, and the two of them walked to the side of the road together.
As for the matter of not eating lunch, because she had not stayed in the village for long, and went to the restaurant and ate three meals a day, no one brought up this habit, Cheng Xi had basically forgotten about it.
Xiao Qiang had an excited expression as she asked with an uncertain tone, "Sis, are you going back to prepare lunch?"
Cheng Xi rubbed his sensible and cute brother's head, and laughed: "Right, when we go back home, elder sister will make yummy food for you, but Xiao Qiang has to help elder sister light a fire, okay?"
Xiao Qiang nodded excitedly, "Yes, I'm very good at lighting fires. Mom is always praising me for being good at it."
The two siblings walked out of Bao Gu, chatting and laughing. They didn't expect that their days would be so restless, and trouble would eventually find them.
Cheng Xi looked at Lady Lee and Xu Erlang who were approaching menacingly, and rolled her eyes towards the sky, thinking that she, alone, was not a match for these two, looking at their ferocious expressions, if these two people tried to harm him, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Therefore, Cheng Xi pulled Cheng Qiang behind him to protect him, and shouted loudly, "Xu Sanlang, your second aunt and Second Brother have arrived."
Lady Lee Xu Erlang had already arrived in front of Cheng Xi. Lady Lee looked at Cheng Xi with a dark and cold face as she scolded, "Little bitch, you're Xu Family's daughter-in-law now, it's fine if you don't return to Xu Family, but you even incite men to work for their families. We have so much work to do with our Xu Family, so quickly go back and work with Xu Sanlang.
Cheng Xi saw from the corner of her eyes that Xu Sanlang and the Aunt Wu had already rushed towards him, and estimated the possibility of him suffering a loss. Dragging Cheng Qiang to a safe place, she said with a face of mockery, "Yo, when I was working, I found out that Xu Sanlang was Xu Family Member. Why didn't I think of that at dinner? "
Xu Erlang walked closer to Cheng Xi with a dark expression, "Wretched girl, I'll definitely teach you a lesson today."
Cheng Xi protected Cheng Qiang as he retreated quickly, and then, Xu Sanlang timely appeared in front of Cheng Xi, blocking her way. His figure, which was originally taller than Xu Erlang, easily suppressed Xu Erlang's, and said in a neither cold nor hot manner, "I know how to teach my wife a lesson, so Second Brother does not need to trouble yourself to teach her a lesson."
After staying in the restaurant for a while, and adding that he had stayed with Cheng Xi for a long time, Xu Sanlang's eloquence had improved a lot.
With Xu Sanlang standing in front of him, Xu Erlang did not dare to act rashly. He only glared at Xu Sanlang and scolded, "Xu Sanlang, are you still a Xu Family Member after all?
Xu Sanlang's answer caused everyone present to be a little startled, "I actually hope my surname isn't Xu."
Lady Wu who was at the side continued, "You already knew he was Xu Family Member when you were working? Why didn't she think of him as Xu Family Member when she was usually harsh on him? A group of lazy bloodsucking leeches. "
Lady Lee angrily glared at Wu Dai, "Scoundrel, your man is almost dead because of you, what are you bragging about? "I know you're a jinx, and that your biological son and stepson have finished running. If you're big, then you'll probably run too, so just wait to be a lonely old man."
Ever since she knew that her family's Fourth Brother was run by someone in the county, this Xu Family Member had the attitude of a man getting what he deserved in the village, and this Lady Lee was even more arrogant. Originally, when she was arguing with Madame Wu, she was afraid of the Wu family's might, but now, she did not care about it anymore.
Lady Lee's words were like a poke at Lady Wu's heart. How could the Wu family still remember to worry about a Xu Family official after hearing it, they all forgot about it. They pounced at the Lady Lee with eyes burning with fire, and then caught the Lady Lee by surprise.
Madame Wu fiercely pounced onto Lady Lee, riding on his body, causing Lady Lee to be unable to move. After that, her fist unceremoniously smashed towards Lady Lee's chest, and she fiercely said, "Bitch, I'll let your mouth be so cheap."
Xu Erlang saw that his mother was being beaten until she was crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, and wanted to help, but he was stopped by Xu Sanlang. He was afraid that Xu Sanlang would attack Xu Sanlang easily, and he was afraid that Xu Sanlang would also go crazy like the Wu family.
Cheng Xi pulled Cheng Qiang to watch the show from the side. Cheng Xi looked at Lady Wu's action of beating people up with admiration and sighed in her heart, thinking that the Wu family was really powerful, even though they beat up Lady Lee until they were crying like ghosts and wolves, they were not injured at all.
Seeing that she was almost done with the beating, adding on to the fact that Lady Lee was wailing like ghosts, and had attracted many nearby workers to come over, Cheng Xi hurried over to her side and said softly, "It's about time, someone is coming."
Madame Wu recovered her wits and released Lady Lee, then retreated back to a relatively distant place. Xu Sanlang did not stop Xu Erlang and allowed him to support Lady Lee who was crying like ghosts.
