After daydreaming for a while, the two of them had nothing better to do and could no longer fall asleep. They decided to take a walk outside and check if the thatched cottage was still there.

On the way out, he met Xu Erlang at the door, and with a fierce glare at the two of them, he walked in.

Cheng Xi pursed her lips and said softly, "Your Second Brother is as stupid as his mother."

Xu Sanlang did not make any comments and maintained his silence.

The two of them passed through the gate and stood at the entrance of the Xu Residence, yet Xu Sanlang still felt deeply moved. He remembered how many times he was disliked and humiliated by his family at the gate and was not allowed to enter, Cheng Xi also remembered how he had quarreled with Xu Family Member at the gate.

They never thought that there would actually come a day where they entered and left this Xu Family door so openly.

The two of them sighed in their hearts as they walked out of the Xu Family courtyard, and headed in the direction of the thatched cottage from before.

Not long after walking for a long distance, a few people stopped him in his tracks. Cheng Xi looked at the few people in front of him, who looked worried and afraid, but still could not help but go up to ask around.

Isn't this the Xi from Xu Sanlang's side? Did you guys just come out from the Xu Family Academy?

"Yeah yeah, I just saw it too, why did this Xu Family suddenly let you enter?"

"I heard that you two went to the county city. Did you make a lot of money there?"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, how could someone with Xu Family let two people in?"

"Ah, really? What were they doing in the county town? "Since you're making so much money, you should just introduce everyone."

"That's not right. Didn't this Second Brother Xu's daughter-in-law say that the two of you went missing? "

"With Lady Lee's wild bird mouth, you still believe? They've always been making money in the county town. "

"Really?" "Since we're all from the same hometown, let me introduce to you all what kind of money it is that you earn."

That was because Fourth Brother Xu had become an official in the county office, and asked someone to find things for them. Do you think that it's that easy to earn money?

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang were both speechless, they had not even opened their mouths the entire time, and these people were already standing in front of them, talking one after another until the story about them was finished. They did not care about the person involved at all, and wanted to verify the truth of the story with the person involved.

Seeing that the few of them were arguing and did not plan to stop, Cheng Xi could only open her mouth to stop them, "Is there something wrong? "If there's nothing else, please step aside. We still have things to do."

Only then did the people who were debating regain their wits and actually had the nerve to ask, "Is that true?"

The corner of Cheng Xi's eyes twitched as she replied, "Whatever you think it is, it's whatever."

One of the women sighed and said, "I knew it."

Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at the sky, and then said, "Can everyone give way, we still have things to do."

Only then did a few of them react. They even blocked the path of the two and quickly made way. One of the women said, "You guys are busy. You guys are busy."

The two of them were finally freed from the encirclement by a few people. Under the gazes of a flurry of discussion, they left their line of sight, turning the corner and heading towards the Xu Residence's back courtyard wall.

When the two of them turned around the corner and looked at the original thatched house, they only saw a pile of soil, and there were no traces of the thatched house from before left behind. Xu Sanlang had thought that he would be able to live after fixing it, but now he had no choice but to give up.

Cheng Xi was afraid that Xu Sanlang would be hurt, hence she immediately said, "It's good to tear it down, but it's also uncomfortable living in the backyard close to the Xu Family. In the future when we build a new house, we must definitely move further away from the Xu Family courtyard."

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang once again remembered the beautiful scene that the two had dreamed of during the afternoon. The sadness that had just risen in his heart was immediately washed away, he nodded and replied, "Alright, find a quiet place to repair the new courtyard."

The two of them had nowhere to go. Cheng Xi looked around and said, "Shall we go around before returning?"

Xu Sanlang didn't want to return to the Xu Family Hall for the time being, so he nodded and agreed, and the two of them started to wander around aimlessly.

However, after a while, the two of them regretted their decision. They would meet a few gossipy villagers who would come over and ask them, or they would make up some wild guesses just like those arrogant people from before.

Cheng Xi felt that the two of them were like rare animals in a zoo, becoming the object of a crowd. This was not a good feeling, and when she saw that there were a few groups of people walking towards them excitedly, the two of them looked at each other, then turned around with tacit understanding and quickly walked towards the Xu Family courtyard.

As expected, the power of the Eight Trigrams was powerful, these people had actually still been persevering on behind them, and there were even some who shouted at the back, "Is this the Xi of the Cheng Family up ahead?"

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang pretended not to hear, and quickened their pace, and finally stepped into the Xu Family Academy before they could catch up.

Xu Wenyu, who was in the courtyard, saw Xu Sanlang enter and tried to smile at him as he greeted, "Did you go out to stroll? I was just about to let little girl Lan go and find you guys to come back for dinner. "

Knowing that Cheng Xi really did not like her mother and son, Xu Wenyu was smart enough to not mention him. He also warned Lady Lee and Xu Erlang to avoid Cheng Xi as much as possible, which made Lady Lee Xu Erlang even more angry and hateful towards them.

Inside the house, Old Madam Xu's face was gloomy, but after hearing the commotion outside, she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and called out from the door, "You're back? The rice has already been served. Hurry and come in. "

Cheng Xi looked at Old Madam Xu's constipated face, which was still trying to endure. She felt extremely comfortable in her heart, and the smile on her face also became brilliant as she replied, "Right away, did you make anything delicious?"

Old Madam Xu silently cursed "I won't eat you to death" in her heart, but on the surface, she still couldn't help but squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying from her wrinkled face.

However, Cheng Xi still felt that the old lady was not enough to respond, and continued, "It's still better to go home, there's also delicious food, and there's even new clothes to wear."

The smile on Old Madam Xu's face finally disappeared, and she was just about to flare up when Xu Wenyu interrupted him, "It's been hard on you two to earn money outside, you should hurry up and enter the house to eat."

Old Madam Xu, who was blocked by her own son, took a few deep breaths with great effort before suppressing the urge to go up and scratch others. In the end, she couldn't force out a smile, and with a gloomy face, she turned around and sat on the table.

Looking at Old Madam Xu who was so angry that she seemed to be unable to flare up, Cheng Xi secretly felt great, and completely ignored the gloomy expression on Old Madam Xu's face. She continued to smile brilliantly, and walked to the table with Xu Sanlang.

There were a few little girls and girls that Cheng Xi had never seen before, so she did not have much of an impression of them. At the moment, they were all staring at the table with their eyes wide open, wishing that they could spit on it. Seated at the big table was the man from Xu Family, it was not too crowded.

was surprised that he did not see Xu Erlang and Lady Lee on the table, but he did not ask.

Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang and was called over to the big table to sit down. When the Old Madam Xu opened his mouth, the small table was immediately snatched away, the originally anxious Old Madam Xu, after hearing the commotion from the next table, finally had a place to vent his anger, and unceremoniously scolded: "A bunch of useless people, haven't you eaten? "Calm down."

The old lady's shout had a good effect. There was no sound coming from the table, only the sound of chopsticks colliding and the sound of chewing.

On the other hand, at the table, Cheng Xi was not holding back at all. Good food and good meat were continuously being stuffed into his bowl, and from time to time, she would help Xu Sanlang who did not use chopsticks to carry food into the bowl. Her actions were extremely quick, causing Old Madam Xu, who was sitting in the seat first, to feel pained, and she almost wanted to rush forward and snatch Cheng Xi's chopsticks.

In order to cooperate with Xu Wenyu and please Cheng Xi, they had no choice but to greet the two of them passionately.

The children on the table were eating happily, the only people around the table were probably Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang who were enjoying their meals happily.

Xu Erlang and Lady Lee, who were ordered not to come out to eat in the kitchen, could not help but want to grind their teeth and break it.

After finishing the meal, which everyone was in a different mood, even though Old Madam Xu was extremely furious, she forced herself to ask her wives, "Old master, did you send the stove brazier that I told you to prepare?"

Lady Ma on the small table hurriedly replied, "It has already been sent over, the stove is already ready, there's a full pot of water on top of it. When we go back now, it's almost open, and all the pots and teapots have been sent over."

It had to be said that Lady Ma had thought about it very thoroughly. When she knew that Xu Sanlang was going to help his daughter leave, and was even preparing to go see his son, she was filled with gratitude towards the two of them.

Old Madam Xu secretly clenched her teeth, but on the surface, she still nodded her head in satisfaction, and then said to Xu Sanlang: "It's getting late, you guys should go back and rest."

However, Cheng Xi did not move for the time being, she just sat in her original seat and pretended to sigh: "In the end, it's not her own house, I don't even have a change of clothes."

Xu Wenyu continued, "Since you are already married to Sanlang, your Xu Family is already your own. Ah Fang, send the clothes we prepared for the new year to them first.

Regarding Xu Wenyu's words, Cheng Fang did not seem to have any objections, she only nodded her head and replied. On the other hand, Old Madam Xu felt pained upon hearing Xu Wenyu's orders, and felt even more furious at Cheng Xi, but had no choice but to endure it.
