As soon as they entered the courtyard, the woman who was originally sitting under the eaves with a middle-aged man whispering to his hastily stood up, and greeted them with a fawning smile, saying, "Ya, Granny has finally returned, I was even worried that I would let Dafu go out to take a look."
When she said those beautiful words, her tone and gaze were exceptionally lively, as if she was really worried about the old lady. Cheng Xi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in her heart.
Cheng Xi silently cursed in her heart. If this person was from her previous life, she would definitely be an exquisite sales elite.
At the same time, Cheng Xi also observed the woman in front of him carefully. She was around 30 years of age, her skin was well maintained, and she did not look like the other women in the village, she looked quite proper, only smiling, her eyes always had an unforgettable charm, captivating, and lacking a tinge of dignity, making her look like a lady who did not look like a proper family.
Without even thinking, Cheng Xi knew that this person should be the big Miss Yu, and the middle-aged man who sat under the roof and smiled at the woman should be his big uncle.
Looking at the big uncle under the roof, Cheng Xi couldn't help but praise the good genes in her Cheng Family. Compared to her father, who had been working hard all year round and had suffered all sorts of hardships, he looked a lot younger, had a neatly trimmed beard, and was dressed in fine clothes. He looked just like an enchanting middle-aged uncle, and it was hard to find a second one in the entire village.
Just as Cheng Xi was sizing up the others, the others were sizing her up as well.
Lady Yu continued to size up the people around Old Madam Cheng as she walked towards the old lady. The old lady saw the windy footsteps beneath Lady Yu's feet and asked worriedly, "Oh my ancestor, please calm down and don't hurt my grandson."
Lady Yu immediately slowed down her steps, and reached out to support her waist, smiling as she replied, "Aiyo, I forgot about the guest just because she was too excited. Granny, who are these two?"
Old Madam Cheng looked at Lady Yu's cautious appearance before letting out a sigh of relief. "This is my fourth son's wife, she will be your sister-in-law in the future. This is my second granddaughter, Cheng Xi, from Second Brother's family."
After Lady Yu finished listening to Old Madam Cheng's introduction, she smiled and greeted the two of them, "If I knew you two were coming over, I would have definitely made some preparations earlier. Seeing that I didn't have the time to prepare the greeting gift, I'm being rude, how about I make up for it next time?"
Cheng Xi smiled and replied, "And you still have a greeting gift? Eldest Aunt is too courteous, then Xi will be waiting for you."
Ma Xiufen was initially conflicted. Since Lady Yu was a child of her big brother, how should she be addressed by him? Now that Cheng Xi had addressed her so smoothly, and the old lady did not say anything, she was no longer conflicted. She directly replied, "Sister-in-law is too courteous."
As for whether Lady Zhang was happy for her to call him sister-in-law or not, that was none of her business.
However, Lady Zhang who was angrily washing his clothes in the courtyard finally could not take it anymore. She threw his clothes into the basin with a 'pa' sound and said while staring with her red and swollen eyes, "Are you blind? Do you think that I don't exist? "I am her real wife's Eldest Aunt, and yet you call her a shameless slut. She is just a lowly concubine, a concubine that I can give away at will.
Lady Zhang's voice was originally just like hers, filled with a sharp and unkind feeling. Adding to her current anger, her voice was loud, shrill and ear-piercing, while Lady Yu pretended to be frightened as she patted her chest with one hand and supported her stomach with the other. She spoke to Cheng Dafu who was sitting under the roof and looking at him with a gloomy expression, "Aiyo, Dafu, quickly come over and help me up.
The moment he heard Lady Yu, his legs went limp, and Old Madam Cheng immediately looked at him with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "I think you think I don't exist, I didn't even say anything, do you think you have the right to speak? Is the skin itchy again how to drop? "Hurry up and work. Otherwise, don't even think about eating today. You really are a lazy person. You need to take half a day to wash some clothes."
Old Madam Cheng was worried that the noise would scare Lady Yu's stomach, so she kept her voice down, but Lady Zhang felt even worse when she heard it. Her cold eyes swept across Lady Yu's stomach, then she squatted down and obediently continued washing her clothes.
Old Madam Cheng continued to speak as she saw Lady Zhang's actions, which made him want to tear apart his clothes, "If you wash your clothes, I'll skin you alive."
At this time, Cheng Dafu had already rushed over and carefully supported Lady Yu.
Seeing that Lady Zhang finally stopped beating him up, Old Madam Cheng turned around and took the medicine in the hands of his fourth son's wife, and gave it to his eldest son, saying, "This is a pregnancy saving medicine, fry it for Lady Yu three times a day, a set of medicine for three days, then I will go catch you."
Cheng Dafu was about to extend his hand out to receive it, but Old Madam Cheng was a little worried, and retracted it, "Forget it, it's better that I do it myself. You guys wait for a while, I'll let you guys go to my room first."
Lady Zhang suddenly stood up and said in an attentive manner, "Mother, please give it to me. Let me fry the medicine for Sister Yu."
Old Madam Cheng looked at Lady Zhang and snorted, "Fried for you? Even your own grandson was destroyed by you, who knows if you will poison my grandson with arsenic. "
Then, he ignored Lady Zhang and brought the medicine into the house. As he entered, he said, "Boss, you guys pack up too, follow Xi to Second Brother's house for dinner later."
Hearing that she wanted to go to Cheng Xi's house to eat, Lady Zhang threw away the clothes in her hands and prepared to enter the house, saying, "I want to change my clothes first."
Cheng Xi, however, impolitely said in a cold voice, "Then please help me pack up the things that I asked this Master Wang to bring back while you're at the same time."
At this time, Lady Zhang did not dare to argue with Cheng Xi, she knew that she had to stay in Cheng Family, and with the addition of the things that she used, she could barely smile as she replied, "I forgot, I still have things to do, so I will not go. Dafu, you guys can go."
Cheng Dafu unrestrainedly snorted, "I never planned to bring you there either."
When the Lady Zhang heard that his own husband was finally willing to talk to him, but what she said made him even more heartbroken than not saying anything. She just looked at Cheng Dafu with a wronged face, but compared to her own Lady Yu, the difference was too huge.
Towards the Lady Zhang, Cheng Dafu regretted it a lot, why did he confuse her with such a woman back then, and then, it was like he had been smeared with candy. He couldn't shake her off no matter how he threw her, and in the end, he was still forced to marry her back home.
However, he had never seriously considered his own problem. If it wasn't for his amorous nature, how could he have gotten into such a situation?
Lady Zhang saw that she was pretending to be wronged, but his man did not even look at him, so he could not continue pretending. He angrily squatted down and began to wash the clothes in the basin.
Seeing Lady Zhang, who was usually arrogant and despotic as she did all sorts of evil things, feeling stifled, Cheng Xi felt relieved. The smile on her face became even more brilliant.
Cheng Dafu supported Lady Yu and changed from the cold and detached attitude he had towards Lady Zhang before. In a gentle voice, he asked, "When we go eat at Second Brother's house, do you want to clean up?"
Lady Yu smiled and asked, "Fu Lang, look at me and see if I am dressed properly today. Do you want to dress up again? "
Cheng Dafu laughed and replied, "It's not bad, no matter what, you are always the most beautiful in my eyes."
The corner of Cheng Xi's eyes twitched when she heard this. As a woman of this new era, she was already feeling inferior to him, but Cheng Xi had to admit that this big miss Yu did have some methods to be able to hold this unruly uncle of hers in her hands for all these years.
After the two of them showcased their love, they finally had time to pay attention to the two who had been standing in the courtyard the entire time.
The Lady Yu had a fitting smile on her face as she said to Cheng Xi and Wu Xiufen, "I have made you all wait for a long time, I have long heard of the insignia that Xi looks like. This time, it is more than just just insignia, I think that it will be very difficult for us from the Eight Mile Village to find a girl with such outstanding looks like you."
Furthermore, he even started to praise the Lady Yu. "Eldest Aunt, don't praise me, you look so young and have so many symbols on you, who would have known that you would actually be my elder, and that I'm afraid that I might think you're my big sister."
Cheng Dafu who had never spoken to Cheng Xi and the rest before, unexpectedly spoke up as well, he smiled and said, "Girl, the older you are, the more you know how to speak."
Cheng Xi did not forget to take the opportunity to praise Cheng Dafu, "I was just speaking the truth, my uncle is also elegant and unrestrained, he is truly a perfect match with Eldest Aunt, a match made in heaven."
Being praised like that by Cheng Xi, the two of them were happy, but there were those who were happy, and others who were sad. The Lady Zhang who washed clothes only heard what Cheng Xi said and clenched her teeth, wishing that she could rip apart Cheng Xi's mouth.
Cheng Xi saw that Lady Zhang was so angry that her head almost turned green from anger, of course she was happy to see it. The more Lady Zhang got angry, the happier she got.
At this time, the Old Madam Cheng also came out of her house, and said to the people in the courtyard, "Let's go, the earlier will be over." After that, the group of people grandiosely set off.
Only Lady Zhang was left in the courtyard as she watched the group of people walk out. She stared at the entrance and muttered, "You guys won't die from eating this."
Then, a trace of gloom flashed across his eyes. He stood up and walked towards the house.
Lady Zhang never would have thought that Cheng Xi would follow him back. She stared inside the room through the gap in the door and watched as Lady Zhang sneakily walked into the room that Old Madam Cheng had just went into and came out of.
