When the Lady Ma headed towards the side room, Uncle Xu Sanlang greeted the two again with a smile on his face, "You must be hungry, I was waiting for you two to come back for dinner, so you guys should quickly enter the house. I heard that you guys came back, I made your Eldest Aunt cook a lot of delicious things."
Seeing the fake smile on Uncle Xu Sanlang's face, Cheng Xi felt uncomfortable. Even if she wanted to know what kind of medicine Xu Family Member was selling, she really didn't want to eat with these fake people, so Cheng Xi quickly replied, "No need, we already ate at my parents' house. Let's go look for a place to stay.
With that, Cheng Xi pulled Xu Sanlang along and headed in the direction of the Lady Ma. Cheng Fang who was by her side the entire time did not make a sound and called out to Xu Wenyu, "I'll go help too", and followed behind him.
Watching Xu Sanlang leave, the expression on Old Madam Xu changed back to her original gloomy and cold face. She snorted coldly, and roared towards the rest of the people in the courtyard, "What are you all standing around for?
He then muttered softly, "Hmph, they're all big fish and big meat. I'm afraid our food isn't very interesting." Although her tone was filled with grievance, she did not dare speak too loudly, for fear that Cheng Xi would hear her as she slowly walked further away.
Lady Lee was very stupid, she completely could not understand Xu Family Member's intentions, and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction, "It's just two tough jinx, why are you making them return, and even want to serve them well?"
Xu Wenyu kept his usual hypocritical and gentle face, and looked gloomily at Lady Lee. He directly scolded without restraint, "Shut up, let me remind second sister first, if you ruin my business, at that time, don't blame me for being merciless."
When Xu Wenyu was still an Elementary Scholar, he was always on the same side in the Xu Family, but now that he had become an official in the county office, everyone in the Xu Family was under his lead. Although Lady Lee was dissatisfied with this matter, she did not dare to refute it again.
However, after Xu Wenyu finished warning the Lady Lee, the other members of the Li Family who were also worried about Lady Lee started to beat him up, one after another. Only then did Lady Lee understand the severity of the matter, and even if she had planned on doing more evil deeds behind her back, she did not dare do anything unnecessary.
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang walked towards the direction of the Lady Ma, while sizing up the Xu Family courtyard. She was deeply moved, the Xu Family courtyard was truly not small, although it was also a small farm yard, but compared to that small courtyard called Cheng Family, it was at least several times bigger.
The two of them looked left and right, and they did not walk very fast, but Cheng Fang quickly caught up with them. She turned her head and saw that everyone from the Xu Family had entered the house. I have truly wronged you. "
Cheng Xi was thinking about how this aunt of her was going to persuade him to become the guest of Xu Family, or how she was going to talk to him about her husband. However, what this aunt of hers said next made Cheng Xi a little shocked.
Cheng Fang looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then pulled Cheng Xi to her side and whispered to him, "This Xu Family is not a good place, you guys should leave as soon as possible."
Cheng Xi turned her head and looked at Cheng Fang in shock. Cheng Fang had purely thought that she was shocked by what she had said, but she did not know that Cheng Xi was shocked not because of her evaluation of Cheng Family but because she was shocked by her.
Cheng Fang saw that Cheng Xi had been staring at him and did not say anything, and could only continue to advise, "Although I do not know what they are planning, it is definitely not a good thing for you guys, you guys should quickly find an opportunity to return to the county."
Cheng Xi could also tell that this aunt was truly worried for him, and comforted him by patting her hand, then replied with a smile, "They suddenly treated us so well, I could already guess that their motive was impure, don't worry Aunt, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing Cheng Xi's confident look, Cheng Fang finally calmed down a little. Seeing that there was a room in front of him with Lady Ma tidying the house, she did not speak anymore.
The Lady Ma saw a few people come in and greeted them with a smile, "This house has been cleaned up a few days ago, but there is nothing much to tidy up. The blankets are a little thin, I will go and bring the blankets over for all of you."
Xu Sanlang nodded and replied, "Thank you, Eldest Aunt."
With regards to Xu Sanlang, who had always been silent and could not be bothered to say another word, suddenly opening his mouth and thanking them politely, Lady Ma and Cheng Fang both raised their heads to look at the tall Xu Sanlang beside Cheng Xi in shock.
Originally, everyone only noticed the change in Xu Sanlang's appearance, but they didn't expect that his temperament had also changed. Not only was he more talkative than before, even his expression and expression weren't as rigid as before.
Lady Ma was stunned for a while, before she regained her senses. This Xu Sanlang who had changed her temperament by quite a bit, actually made her think of her own son. This Xu Sanlang was somewhat similar to her own son.
The Lady Ma said depressingly, "You guys rest first, I'll go grab some blankets." Then she turned and left.
Cheng Xi looked at Lady Ma's back as she left, and asked curiously, "What happened to her suddenly? Wasn't it fine just now? "
Cheng Fang sighed, but did not speak. Instead, it was Xu Sanlang who spoke, "I'm afraid I've thought of Big Brother."
Cheng Fang seemed to not want Xu Sanlang to talk about this anymore, so she opened her mouth to interrupt the two of them: "See if there is anything else I can do? Xi also did not bring back any change in clothes. I'll send you two sets of mine later. "
Cheng Xi shook her head and smiled, "There's no need, Aunt, you should go eat lunch first. When we were at home, we ate, so we should rest inside the house for a while."
Cheng Fang nodded, "Alright, then rest, I will be leaving first." Waving her hand to the two of them, Cheng Fang left.
Only after Cheng Fang left did Cheng Xi open her mouth, "It seems like this aunt of mine isn't in cahoots with your Fourth Uncle."
Xu Sanlang stayed by Cheng Xi's side the whole time. Although Cheng Fang and Cheng Xi had been talking in a low voice, Xu Sanlang still nodded his head in agreement after roughly listening to their conversation.
The room could still be considered neat and tidy, but there was no need for it. Cheng Xi shook the blanket on the bed as she asked curiously, "What kind of person is your Eldest Aunt?"
Xu Sanlang went over to help Cheng Xi while shaking her blanket. After he tilted his head to the side to think, he answered, "I can't really tell what kind of person she is."
Cheng Xi stared at Xu Sanlang speechlessly, and continued to ask, "Did she feel sorry for you in the past?"
Xu Sanlang tilted his head again to think, then answered, "Not really, even if he was with milk or uncle, he would still quietly stay by the side and not say much."
Cheng Xi nodded her head, and said: "I actually feel that your Eldest Aunt is not like the rest of the people in the Xu Family, in a while, come over and secretly tell her, we are going to find your big brother, and see what she has to bring to your brother."
Xu Sanlang nodded, but what he said was something else, "You are my wife, and I, Big Brother, should also be called Big Brother."
Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at Xu Sanlang, but she still obediently replied, "Alright, I'll call you big brother from now on."
After shaking off the blanket, Cheng Xi fell onto the bed with her limbs spread out, and said to Xu Sanlang who was beside the bed, "I'm really tired from dealing with so many messed up people today, and I feel tired. Sleep."
Xu Sanlang saw that Cheng Xi had already closed her eyes and did not speak anymore, so he helped Cheng Xi to cover herself with the blanket and stood at the door, waiting for Lady Ma to send him a blanket.
After getting the quilts sent over by the Lady Ma, Xu Sanlang went inside the house and closed the door, and just like Cheng Xi, he went to bed. As for telling the Lady Ma that he and Cheng Xi planned to go see his big brother, Xu Sanlang still wanted to let him know.
Besides sleeping, Xu Sanlang had nothing else he could do. Furthermore, he really did not want to deal with the people in the courtyard.
Xu Sanlang knew that he was very dumb, but he still felt that his smart wife was more proficient in handling these people. His stupidity was only suitable for him to be by the side as a foil.
The two of them fell asleep, when there was a knock on the door, both of them were startled awake. Cheng Xi sat up, and impatiently rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking left and right, she finally realised where she was.
"Third sister in law, are you there?" After knocking, Xu Lan's voice came out.
Cheng Xi kicked Xu Sanlang who was seated at the side and did not move, and said: "Go and speak."
Xu Sanlang looked at the thin, white, clothes on Cheng Xi's body, and said with a frown, "Put on your clothes first, it's very cold outside."
Cheng Xi nodded her head and obediently put on the clothes Xu Sanlang had given him, while Xu Sanlang also put on his own clothes. Only after that did she get off the bed, and after confirming that Cheng Xi had put on the clothes, did she go over and open the door.
When Xu Sanlang opened the door, he saw Xu Lan standing at the entrance with her face flushed, looking at Xu Lan's blushing face. Cheng Xi thought that the weather was too cold, and did not expect that Xu Lan had heard her conversation with Xu Sanlang and misunderstood her.
Xu Lan went over to the bedside, lowered her head and called out "Third Sister" with a blush. Cheng Xi felt that it was a little strange when she heard the girl in front of him, who was even older than him, call him sister-in-law.
