Being pointed at and pointed at by the surrounding people, Xu Erlang, who was blocking Cheng Xi's path, felt that she was becoming increasingly weak. Her face was flushed red and she wished that she could go over and tear Cheng Xi apart, but she was still afraid of the gloomy Xu Sanlang who was standing in front of him.
Xu Erlang was very clear about Xu Sanlang's fighting strength, but in the past, he had found many people to beat him up, and most of the time, Xu Sanlang would forcefully fight back against him. However, sometimes, if he got angry, he would retaliate against outsiders, and that was how he would retaliate, and that was how he would show his strength, but Xu Sanlang had never fought against him before, but ever since he married Cheng Xi, Xu Erlang was a little unsure, and that look in his eyes, seemed to be prepared to pounce at him at any time.
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Erlang who was so angry that his face was flushed red and couldn't do anything to them, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "What? You're still unwilling to let us go? You want to stop us from buying your mother a silver hairpin? "
How could Xu Erlang be willing to let them go just like that? But after all, he was thin-skinned, and could not stand the people around him pointing fingers at them because of Cheng Xi's words, plus there was also the young lady who was about to become her wife, so if this went on, he would really lose a lot of face.
However, Lady Lee's skin was much thicker than his own son's. Seeing that his own son intended to let leave, she walked up to block the two with quick steps and slapped Xu Erlang, scolding, "Are you really planning to let them go?"
Xu Erlang felt that it was really shameful, he glared at her mother with a red face, then lowered her head and dodged to the side.
Lady Lee did not have the time to bother about her irritable son, as she placed her hands on her hips and started to pester Cheng Xi like a shrew, blocking her path, and shouted complacently, "You want to leave just like that? No way. "If you don't give me a good apology today, you can forget about leaving this place.
Facing such a shameless Lady Lee, Cheng Xi was speechless. If she wanted to blackmail someone, wouldn't she have to apologize and say such a noble word? Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, and immediately bowed towards Lady Lee, saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to you."
Lady Lee did not react to the situation at all and was stunned. However, Cheng Xi had already raised his head and continued to speak, "We will compensate you with the gift, and we apologize as well. Can you move your body to allow us to leave?"
Lady Lee reacted, she stared at Cheng Xi and shouted, "Who said they wanted to apologize? I told you all to buy that silver hairpin and apologize to me. "
Cheng Xi let out a laugh, "Isn't it just a matter of scolding people? And you even want to find such a grandiose reason, your skin is truly thick enough."
Lady Lee said angrily, "You actually dare to insult this old lady's thick skin, do you still have any respect in your eyes?" There was a scholar at home, and Lady Lee had also learnt a few words from her. However, when she spoke those words, no matter how she listened to them, they sounded a little out of place.
Cheng Xi had already known from the beginning that following Xu Family Member was no longer a peaceful thing for him to do, and if even the Xu Family old lady dared to make a move on her, then this Lady Lee would definitely not be courteous. However, she had already stayed here for a long time, and it was not as easy as being impulsive before.
After hearing Lady Lee's angry curses, Cheng Xi sneered, "I myself am already too old, and I still hope that the younger generation will respect you? A person who doesn't even know about propriety and shame would actually have the nerve to say that others don't have etiquette. What a joke. "
After watching the show for a long time, everyone could roughly guess what was going on. Just the way Lady Lee and her son treated each other, they were truly a little shameless. As long as they were kind people, they would sympathize with Xu Sanlang, who would actually have such a family. When Cheng Xi returned to the Lady Lee, everyone unceremoniously mocked him, as if they were also showing solidarity with Cheng Xi.
When Lady Lee heard everyone's laughter, she shouted angrily at the people around him. "What are you laughing at, if you laugh again I'll get my younger uncle to capture you all and lock you up."
At the back of the crowd, there were those who were not afraid of trouble, but those who were mixed in the crowd and spoke in an insipid tone, "Yo, this brother-in-law calls you so affectionate."
The crowd burst into laughter once again.
No matter how thick-skinned Lady Lee was, being mocked like this caused her face to turn red. She glared angrily at the laughing crowd at the door, and with one hand on her waist, he pointed at them and roared, "You, you, you bunch of troublesome people, you actually dare to laugh at this old lady. Do you know who this old lady is, this old lady is …"
Worried that the Lady Lee would say more shocking words, the Lady Ma hurriedly said, "This is our family matter and there is nothing much to watch. Everyone disperse."
Although Lady Ma was very happy that Lady Lee had lost face, she would not stop her no matter what she wanted to do, but this idiot's words were becoming more and more outrageous. If she continued to stir trouble like this, not only would she lose her own face, she would also lose all the face she had left on Xu Family.
Actually, Lady Ma felt that there was nothing to lose about their Xu Family, but this Fourth Brother could not afford to lose face. In the future, Xu Family would have to rely on the Fourth Brother as a official.
Lady Lee was really stupid, she thought that the Lady Ma was speaking up for her, and was even thinking about who she was, so she continued to speak proudly, "That's right, about our Xu Family's family matters, what are you all looking at, do you know our Xu Family's identity? You dare to provoke him? I am the sister-in-law of the Lord Xu s in the county office, and you still dare to laugh at me? If you piss me off, this old lady will have Lord Xu capture you all and lock you all in the prison. "
When everyone heard that there really were officials of Xu Family, no one dared to brazenly mock Lady Lee, but how could they care about others laughing or laughing? Lady Lee had a shrewd look on her face. With just a few sentences, she looked like a proud villain who had gotten the upper hand. It was really funny, how could everyone not laugh?
When Lady Ma heard that Lady Lee still brought Fourth Brother out, she scolded him in her heart. She had no choice but to stop Lady Lee from messing around, and hurriedly said, "It's the Second Brother family, speak less."
Lady Lee, on the other hand, still stood with her head high and chest out, looking complacent, at the surrounding people. On his face, there was only the words "Who still dares to provoke me" written on it.
As for the little girl who was standing beside the Lady Ma, even standing with the Xu Family Member made her feel flustered. Thinking about how if she really married Xu Erlang, then that foolish, strong woman in front of her would become her mother-in-law later on. She felt terrified just thinking about it, and didn't even bother to greet the Xu Family Member as he walked towards the direction of the door, intending to leave.
Xu Erlang noticed and immediately went forward to ask with a fawning smile, "Where is Miss Chen going?"
Miss Chen, who was mentioned by Xu Erlang, lowered his head and replied with a blushing face, "It's too stuffy inside, I'm going out to take a breather." It wasn't a shy blush, but a blushing one. To think that he would be acquainted with these few people, she felt extremely humiliated.
Xu Erlang looked at the blushing young lady with a lowered head. Although she was not as beautiful as Cheng Xi, she still looked a lot better, and spoke in an even more attentive manner, "How can I leave you alone?
Lady Chen had initially pretended that she did not know them and quickly left, so how could she be willing to have Xu Erlang accompany her? She quickly squeezed through the crowd and left, then said, "No need, I will go out by myself, help your mother out."
Xu Erlang had originally planned to follow her out, but after seeing Lady Chen squeeze into the crowd and leave, and thinking about what she had said when she left, he turned his head to look at his mother who was still fighting with Cheng Xi, he could only give up on this idea.
Lady Ma watched as the young lady left, but was secretly gloating in his heart. This good daughter-in-law of Xu Erlang's was most likely scared witless by Lady Lee, it was so good, if Xu Erlang really marries this Lady Chen, Lady Lee would not be able to pressure her anymore.
Seeing how shamelessly she was blocking Xu Sanlang's path, as if she was not going to reach Lady Lee, who would never let go of the silver hairpin, Cheng Xi was very annoyed. Just as she was thinking about how to escape, she heard a familiar voice from outside the door.
A sloppy voice came from the crowd outside, "Yo, what are you doing here? This young master has also come to join in on the liveliness. "
The crowd at the entrance suddenly parted to make way for him. After which, a handsome man dressed in embroidered clothing waved the folding fan in his hand as he led a group of servants into the store.
The young man had a gentle smile on his face. He looked kind and amiable, but when the people around him saw him, their expressions changed. There was fear, worry, and anger on his face. In any case, there wasn't a single one that was amiable.
Seeing him, Cheng Xi's face finally revealed a relieved smile. He was finally able to get rid of the sticky candy called Xu Family.
This person was none other than the local tyrant of Anyang County, the owner of the Lucky Gambling Workshop, Yu Zhaocai.
Yu Zhaocai led the group of people behind him and swaggered into the store. The shopkeeper had already wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and walked up to greet them, "Boss Yu has arrived before us.
Yu Zhaocai scoffed in disdain, "Am I that strong of a person to take other people's things?"
The shopkeeper wiped off the sweat on his forehead and replied with a smile, "Boss Yu's words are too lame. It's my honor to have you take a fancy to the store. How could it be forced?"
Yu Zhaocai closed his fan and patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, who was bowing low, "Not bad, you know how to speak."
Cheng Xi saw that when Yu Zhaocai entered the door, he started chatting with the shopkeeper, completely ignoring her and Xu Sanlang's existence, and was speechless.
When the originally aggressive Lady Lee heard someone say that they wanted to watch their show, and was even thinking of teaching this person a lesson, but when she saw Yu Zhaocai entering the door with a few fierce men following behind him, she immediately turned terrified. However, she still stopped Xu Sanlang, and did not plan to let the two people leave easily.
