When Xu Sanlang entered, he saw Cheng Xi lying flat on the bed, with her eyes wide open looking at the ceiling.
Seeing Xu Sanlang coming in, Cheng Xi moved her body to make space for him.
Xu Sanlang sat down on the side of the bed, and asked suspiciously, "If you aren't tired, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Cheng Xi curled her lips and said with a bitter face, "My entire body is in pain, I can't fall asleep."
She was not even made to be used for farming jobs at all, she had merely followed them around for an entire day, tired and sunburned. At that time, she had not felt anything, but when she rested, Cheng Xi realized that everything in her body seemed to have gotten better.
Seeing Cheng Xi act like this, Xu Sanlang had no other choice. Thinking of his previous experience, he replied, "I'll get used to it in a few more days."
Cheng Xi bestowed a pair of white eyes to Xu Sanlang, for one day already to be like this, and a few more days to get used to it. Cheng Xi said angrily, "You should slowly adapt to it yourself." Then, he turned her head to the side, not bothering to look at Xu Sanlang.
Xu Sanlang had to extinguish the oil lamp, and lay down beside Cheng Xi. However, Xu Sanlang was still very curious, what did Cheng Xi say to her grandmother in the morning, that the old lady's attitude towards him had changed, and he no longer treated him the way he used to.
Knowing that Cheng Xi had not fallen asleep yet, Xu Sanlang finally asked in a small voice, "What did you tell you this morning?"
Cheng Xi felt uncomfortable in her heart, hence she said with a rather bad tone, "Say that in the future, give my father all the money we earn."
Xu Sanlang turned his head and looked at Cheng Xi who was at the side with her eyes wide open. Although he wanted to say no directly, but he was worried that Cheng Xi, who was already a little angry, would become even more angry after a long time had passed, and whispered to him, "This way, I won't just let it go, we need to save our own money too. You don't like that house, we will save up and build a new one for you."
Cheng Xi muttered her words of "foolish head", and told Xu Sanlang the truth, "Your Fourth Uncle is currently an official in the county city, my milk needs to be afraid of Xu Family, no matter how much you don't like her, she is still your Xu Family Member. Furthermore, your milk is everywhere proclaiming that the things you did were found for you by her, after considering it, my milk has a plan in mind, so naturally I won't make things difficult for you anymore."
Xu Sanlang was suspicious, "Isn't this enough to make you change your mother's attitude so much?"
Cheng Xi continued, "I promised that in the future, I would secretly take care of my father, and tell me about his current situation, as well as the relationship between my mother and my beloved Eldest Aunt. Although she doesn't like the other people in my family, she dotes on my father the most, and after listening to my analysis and understanding, her attitude towards him naturally changed."
After hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang asked in a low and deep voice, "Why are you deliberately hiding this from me mysteriously?"
Cheng Xi said in a speechless manner, "Do you still want to be involved in the woman's scheming? If it wasn't for the fact that I have no other choice, I wouldn't even bother to intervene. "
Hearing Cheng Xi's retort, Xu Sanlang's face turned red, but because of the night, even if his face was red, Cheng Xi could not see it. She was not willing to get involved with the girl's scheming, she just did not want Cheng Xi to hide things from him. They were family, he was Cheng Xi's man, Cheng Xi should have told him everything.
Cheng Xi was in so much pain that she couldn't fall asleep either, so she asked Xu Sanlang: "Do you know how to massage?"
Xu Sanlang shook his head, and then thought about how he wouldn't be able to see Cheng Xi at night, so he replied, "I won't."
The pain was so excruciating that it was hard to sleep while lying down. Cheng Xi simply said, "I'll teach you."
Cheng Dagui, who was originally lying on the bed, suddenly screamed miserably when he heard it. He sat up from the bed and pushed Lady Wu, "Hurry, hurry up and go take a look, what's going on?"
After a busy day, Lady Wu didn't want to move, so she rolled over and said, "What can I do for you? Go to sleep."
Cheng Dagui berated angrily, "That's Xi's voice."
Lady Wu said speechlessly, "The couple is in the room, so what do you want me to do?"
Cheng Dagui reached out to push Wu family, and said angrily and anxiously, "Xi is only eleven years old, hurry up and go take a look."
Madame Wu sat up from the bed, the current Cheng Xi knew even more than the adults, and had almost forgotten Cheng Xi's age. Hearing Cheng Dagui's words, she fell asleep right away, turned around, pulled her shoes, and ignited the oil lamp, then quickly walked towards Cheng Xi's room.
Hearing the screams that became clearer and clearer, Lady Wu became more worried and her footsteps became faster. When she reached the door, she kicked it open before she could knock.
Lady Wu looked at the scene in the room in shock, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang also looked at Lady Wu who was at the door.
However, Cheng Xi was the first to recover, and said awkwardly: Aunt Wu, why are you here? Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang regained his senses, and quickly sat down beside him with a red face.
Lady Wu finally came back to her senses, found her own voice, and asked, "What are you all doing? "It's the middle of the night and it's still half crying and half howling."
Cheng Xi laughed awkwardly, and replied, "My entire body was in so much pain that I couldn't fall asleep, so I let Xu Sanlang massage it for me."
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Lady Wu was also embarrassed and helpless as she scolded lightly, "Be quiet. It's the middle of the night and you're scared to death. Stop tormenting yourself and go to sleep."
Cheng Xi immediately responded obediently, "Okay, okay."
After Lady Wu left and closed the door for them, Xu Sanlang finally asked with a red face, "Are you still pressing?"
Cheng Xi clenched his teeth, "Press." Although it hurt a lot when she pressed it, it felt a lot more comfortable after she pressed it. In order to be able to sleep, Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and let Xu Sanlang continue.
Because they had applied for three days of leave, the two of them were not in a hurry to go to the county city, and knew that Cheng Xi was worried that the work at home would not work out, so she woke up early to get off the bed. However, Cheng Xi did not plan to get off the bed no matter what, even if she was massaged by Xu Sanlang the night before, she could not muster up any strength, so she just laid on the bed and waited for the sky to brighten before she feebly got out of bed.
Lady Wu looked at Cheng Xi who was listlessly washing her clothes in the courtyard, and asked worriedly: "Are you alright?"
Cheng Xi sighed and replied shamefully, "It's fine."
Lady Wu looked at Cheng Xi and said helplessly, "I told you to come back earlier, I'm not listening.
Cheng Xi laughed awkwardly, "It's alright, I just need to rest."
Knowing that Cheng Xi was tired from work yesterday, and that Lady Wu didn't allow him to do any work, Cheng Xi supported her father out and sat down by the stone table in the courtyard. After that, she played with Cheng Qiang while Cheng Dagui stood at the side, smiling as he watched his two children.
The sudden appearance of the Old Madam Xu broke the beauty of the courtyard. When Cheng Dagui saw the Old Madam Xu, her face immediately darkened, although she wanted to use her walking stick to chase her out, but as a senior and Xu Sanlang's grandmother, she endured it in the end.
However, Cheng Xi frowned and said rudely: "What are you doing here?"
Old Madam Xu was originally a strong person, but now that her own son had become an official in county office, she was even more arrogant. In someone else's home, she said rudely, "Little bitch, why are you talking to your elders?
Old Madam Xu's words instantly made Cheng Dagui, who was planning on enduring, flush. She glared at Old Madam Xu and asked, "Do you have an elder of your own?"
Facing the pestering old lady, no matter how angry Cheng Dagui was, he was unable to scold her in an excessive manner.
Cheng Xi quickly went over to help him vent his anger, and said, "You expect others to respect her elders for such disrespectful things? "Dad, let's ignore this kind of thing."
"You slut, I'm your elder. You actually dare to call me something."
Cheng Xi looked at Old Madam Xu in realization, "Oh, so you're not a thing."
Old Madam Xu was angered by Cheng Xi's words and pointed at Cheng Xi, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.
Cheng Dagui, who was originally furious at Old Madam Xu, felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.
