Cheng Xi replied, "It's a Master Wang from the town, and his daughter married into a county city. Furthermore, he has an ox-cart, so they frequently go to the county city, and I asked him to bring everything I have."
When Old Madam Cheng heard Cheng Xi's words, she slapped her thigh and scolded, "This shameless Jiu Gui, you shouldn't have let her stay back then, but you actually did such a thing, watch how I deal with her when I get back."
While talking, Old Madam Cheng decided to get up and take action. Cheng Xi hurriedly stopped her, "Milk, no rush. We can talk about everything after we have eaten our meal."
Cheng Ergui opened his mouth at the right time, "Mother, what do you mean by that?"
If someone else were to ask, Old Madam Cheng might not necessarily have the patience to explain. However, after hearing her own son ask, Old Madam Cheng replied, "That prodigal woman from Lady Zhang, I'm afraid all the things that Xi brought back are already in her pocket. I'll say it, every time she goes to the town to retrieve something, I'll go find a bunch of excuses to stop her."
On the contrary, he advised calmly, "This Lady Zhang is indeed getting more and more outrageous, and it is about time big brother took care of things. Mother, you should eat first, after the meal, I will go and talk to big brother with you."
He thought that if it wasn't for Lady Zhang's urging, his daughter wouldn't have married and suffered so much, and now she dared to swallow the things his daughter brought him. Not to mention that she hid the news that his children were safe and sound, Cheng Er Gui originally didn't want to get involved with big brother's family matters, but now he decided to have a good chat with that big brother of his. This Lady Zhang really couldn't stay in the Cheng Family anymore.
Seeing the old lady's angry look, Cheng Xi was actually very happy. Seems like the shameless Eldest Aunt was really going to suffer, of course, Cheng Xi would not forget to make a good relationship with the grandmother, she sat at the side and helped the old lady carry her back, and said, "Calm down your anger, don't be angry, eat first."
With regards to Cheng Xi's polite greeting, Old Madam Cheng nodded her head in satisfaction, and took up the bowl and chopsticks Xu Sanlang handed over to him. Seeing the dishes on the table, she frowned and scolded in dissatisfaction, "This is not even the new year, is there anyone like you guys here to feast and drink to your heart's content? If we eat like this, no matter how rich your family background is, you will still end up poor. "
Old Madam Cheng had completely forgotten that when she first came, he was still very satisfied with the table full of food.
Cheng Chen was very clever, adding on the fact that he had been out for half a year, how could he not understand that the old lady's mood was bad, he could only try his best to appease his, "Milk, Ah Fu and I both earned a lot of money, we did not care about this amount of money, we did not stay in the house for half a year, I do not know how much trouble father has suffered, I am afraid he could not even eat a full meal, since we have already earned money, how can we not make up for father?"
Cheng Chen was very clear that in his family, the old lady's most pained heart was his father, and that was his weakness. As long as he held onto it, the old lady's attitude would definitely change.
As expected, after hearing Cheng Chen's words, the old lady did not flare up, but replied, "I guess you all still have some conscience, knowing how to pity your father."
Cheng Ergui was afraid that the old lady would cause trouble again, so he quickly called out, "Mother, let's eat first. Once we're done, I'll go find Big Bro with you."
Old Madam Cheng nodded and finally stopped. She listened to Cheng Er Gui start eating.
Because of Old Madam Cheng's addition, the dining table was no longer as lively as it was before. The dining table was very dull, and they were all quietly eating their own food.
Because it was too quiet, everyone in the room heard the commotion outside the courtyard door.
Cheng Cai was the one who spoke the fastest, the moment he heard movement, he opened his mouth and asked: "Hey, who is this again?"
Cheng Qiang who had already eaten his fill was already unable to sit still, but because of his grandmother, who usually did not treat him well, he did not dare to easily get down from the table. When he heard that there was someone outside, he quickly jumped off the bench and ran outside, "I'll go and see who it is."
However, when he reached the door, Cheng Qiang came running back like a wisp of smoke and hid behind Lady Wu's back.
Right after that, a few people walked in from the entrance, with Old Madam Xu leading the way, followed by Xu Wenyu and his wife.
Cheng Xi had always remembered the woman who sent him off to her bed. It was also because of her that Cheng Xi had thought that Xu Wenyu should be a good person, but now that he knew who Xu Wenyu was, he would once again think about whether this aunt was a good person or if she had other intentions for him.
No one welcomed these few people with Cheng Family, and they all frowned somewhat impatiently.
Xu Wenyu's wife, Cheng Fang, said first, and with a gentle smile on his face, he greeted the Cheng Family Member, "Second Aunt, Second Imperial Brother and Second Imperial Aunt."
Facing such a gentle Cheng Fang, the few of them did not feel it would be good to throw their faces at her. However, due to the fact that everyone from Xu Family were present, they would not get too close with her.
Lady Lee, who was standing at the door, saw the sumptuous meal on the table, and could not help but ridicule, "Yo, just look at the meal, I'm afraid it's even more sumptuous than New Year's. As expected, your son and daughter worked hard, improving the meal as soon as you came back."
When the Old Madam Cheng saw the Old Madam Xu, she had the urge to kick him out. If not for Xu Wenyu following her and reminding her of Xu Wenyu's current identity, she would have already chased him out with a broom.
And at this time, Lady Lee's sarcastic remarks finally made her lose her cool. Standing up, with both hands on her hips, she shouted at her family with her sharp voice, "What do you want to eat in my family have anything to do with you?"
In the end, it was still because of Xu Wenyu's current identity that Old Madam Cheng was able to hold back from saying any unpleasant words at the last moment.
When the Old Madam Xu saw that the people from the Cheng Family had stood up and were glaring at them, Xu Sanlang obediently stood beside Cheng Xi without making a sound. This was all caused by the broken mouth of the Lady Lee, and since he was angry at Lady Lee for such a bad thing, he unceremoniously threw himself at the Lady Lee, and scolded, "You jinx, scram if you don't know what's good for you."
When he looked at Cheng Family Member, a fawning smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to Old Madam Cheng with a smile, "This Lady Lee doesn't know how to speak with his stinky mouth, I will discipline him when we go back, but don't get mad at her."
Old Madam Cheng felt that something was amiss when she suddenly became so passionate when she saw Old Madam Cheng, as if she had met her enemy. She asked in a guarded manner, "What are you guys trying to do?"
Xu Wenyu carried a gentle smile, stepped forward and cupped his fists as he said, "We also heard that Sanlang and his wife came back, and specifically came to bring them back."
Lady Wu's face was filled with a mocking smile as she said, "Huh? Bring them back? Where to go? You guys have already demolished the thatched cottage, so you want them to sleep in the wilderness? "
Xu Wenyu replied, "Second sister in law, you misunderstood, that thatched cottage is not a place to stay, that's why it was taken down, Sanlang and Sanlang's wife naturally went to live with us at the Xu Family courtyard."
Lady Wu wouldn't easily believe it. "How could you all be so kind?"
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang were actually thinking in their hearts, what plans did the Xu Family Member have?
At this point, Cheng Er Gui, who had been silent all this time, also said, "Since the thatched cottage has been demolished, the two of them will stay at our house."
Old Madam Xu didn't discuss with Cheng Family Member, but said to Xu Sanlang, "Sanlang, have you ever seen a man go home with his wife on their first year of marriage? If others knew about this, they would definitely laugh for the rest of their lives and quickly come back home with us. "
Old Madam Xu's words blocked her mouth, so she could not refute anymore.
Xu Sanlang's face reddened as he heard this. He pulled on Cheng Xi's clothes and said softly, "How about we go and take a look?"
Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, and laughed: "Alright, since we have a place to live, then of course we have to go back? "Let's go."
Cheng Xi's reaction shocked the people from the Cheng Family and Xu Sanlang. They never thought that Cheng Xi would so readily agree to Old Madam Xu's request to follow them back to the Xu Family.
The people from the Xu Family did not expect that Cheng Xi would have such a reaction, but Xu Wenyu was the first to react, and smiled as he replied, "Then you guys should hurry up and pack up, we will go back first, second aunt, second imperial brother and sister-in-law, Xiao Fang and I will pay you a visit in a few days."
Cheng Xi waved her hand, "What do we have to clean up? "Let's go."
Lady Lee's eyes flashed as she said, "You all didn't bring him back when you came back … You didn't bring any luggage? "
How could Cheng Xi not know what the Lady Lee was thinking? She replied smilingly, "What kind of luggage do we have? We're just too lazy to bring back some tattered clothes and put them in the county city."
The Lady Lee finally could not hold it in and said, "Who are you guys lying to? When you came back, I heard that the oxcart was half full. Old Madam Xu did not say it out loud, but she was afraid that she thought so. If Lady Lee said it out loud, of course she would not stop him.
Lady Wu sneered and said, "That's the New Year's gift our son bought us. Yo, do you have no son or something? And you still want to move the New Year's gift my son prepared to your house?"
Xu Wenyu immediately laughed and said: "My second sister just casually said, second sister, don't be angry, since there aren't any things, we will go back, we will go back now."
