In order to not let himself get married, Cheng Cai immediately agreed, "That's right, after we earn enough money, we will buy a house in Prefecture City. At that time, wouldn't we be people of Prefecture City, and then we will marry a lady of Prefecture City."
The Lady Yu also interjected, "Dafu, your two nephews are really ambitious. With sons like them in Cheng Family, they will definitely become more prosperous in the future."
Dafu nodded in agreement, "That's true, I have good Cheng Family and none of them are bad."
In this house, only his daughter Cheng Dahua was unhappy, and replied: "Little girl is not bad, look at the Xi, they are very capable." Then, he said to his two daughters, "You two better learn from Second Sister, don't embarrass me."
How could he still remember that he was talking about Cheng Chen's marriage just now? With an excited face, he added, "Right, our Cheng Family sons and daughters are all not bad. In the future, we will definitely be able to suppress their Xu Family and give them a boost in their spirits."
When Cheng Xi heard this, the corner of her eyes twitched, indicating that she was speechless, all these people were just boasting like that, and the old lady did not even look at the Xu Family Member sitting on the table, was that really appropriate to say Xu Family?
As she muttered in her heart, Cheng Xi lifted her head to glance at Xu Sanlang, but she didn't feel anything unusual at all. She quietly sat there, as if her Xu Family had nothing to do with him at all.
Cheng Xi was actually quite satisfied with Xu Sanlang's performance. If Xu Sanlang displayed a special concern towards Xu Family, Cheng Xi would probably have a headache.
Xu Dagui, who was originally worried about Cheng Chen's marriage, discovered that everyone had already changed the topic far away, and each of them were all looking forward to the future, so he couldn't pour cold water on them again. He could only stop talking, thinking that he might have to privately persuade Cheng Chen a little, after all, his thoughts were not bad, but he should still face reality.
Cheng Dagui didn't think at all that his son's idea wasn't bad at all, and had even turned these thoughts into reality step by step.
This meal could be considered to be a success, even the Old Madam Cheng was filled with joy.
Cheng Xi was also very happy, and here she finally experienced the feeling of home, but not long after, it happened again.
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang had even discussed it over dinner before returning to the Xu Residence. Not long after they finished lunch, everyone was sitting in their rooms drinking tea and chatting when someone from Xu Family arrived.
The one who came was Xu Lan. She carefully called out from the door: "Third Brother, Third Sister, are you there?"
When Lady Wu heard the commotion, she was the first to come out. Seeing that it was the girl from Xu Family, she frowned slightly, but she was Xu Sanlang's younger cousin, so she could be considered Cheng Xi's sister-in-law. Mrs Wu still called out with difficulty, "It's the girl from Xu Family, come in."
Xu Lan shook her head, and anxiously replied, "I won't be sitting, Second Aunt Cheng, is Third Sister-in-Law of the Third Brother here? I have something to talk to them about. "
At this time, the people in the house heard the commotion, and when Old Madam Cheng heard that it was from Xu Family, she wanted to flare up, but was stopped by Cheng Xi just in time, "Grandmother, don't be angry, this girl has a good relationship with me, she told us to definitely have business, let's go out and take a look."
Old Madam Cheng looked suspiciously at Cheng Xi, seeing that Cheng Xi seemed to have something in mind, she nodded with a straight face, and her body that was originally standing up sat back down.
Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang out, and saw Xu Lan, who was anxiously standing at the door, release a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Xi coming out.
Lady Wu was still standing at the kitchen door, waiting to see what this Xu Family girl was trying to find Xu Sanlang for. She was worried that the Xu Family was plotting something, and Cheng Chen had also followed her out.
, who had just seen Xu Sanlang, heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly received so many looks from everyone on guard, and his mental state instantly tensed up.
Cheng Xi was also curious why Xu Lan suddenly came to find them, and when she came out she immediately asked, "What happened?"
Xu Lan stammered as she held everyone's gaze, "I-it's fine, it's just that someone is looking for the Third Brother."
Hearing Xu Lan's words, Cheng Xi looked towards Xu Sanlang in confusion, and confirmed with Xu Lan: "Someone is looking for him?"
Xu Lan nodded, she looked at Xu Sanlang for a while, and realised that Xu Sanlang's face was also filled with confusion. It was probably strange, that there would actually be someone looking for him.
Cheng Cai had always been straightforward, and was the first to ask about the reason, "Are you sure that you're looking for Xu Sanlang? To think that there's actually someone looking for him? "Who is it?"
Xu Lan looked at Xu Sanlang, and replied, "My mother said, it might be someone from Third Brother's maternal grandpa's side."
After Xu Sanlang finished hearing what Xu Lan had said, his face immediately changed, and he quickly walked to the entrance of the courtyard. Seeing Xu Sanlang's anxious look, and thinking of the things that he knew about Xu Sanlang, Xu Sanlang hurriedly turned around and greeted the people in the house, then the people in the courtyard said their farewells and quickly followed.
Cheng Cai was worried and was about to follow along, but was stopped by Lady Wu, "Don't meddle."
Cheng Cai refused to give up and said, "Something must have happened, I'll follow him and take a look."
Lady Wu stared at Cheng Cai, "You want to use it to follow? Xi knows his limits more than you do, stay at home obediently and don't get involved blindly. "
Cheng Cai was unresigned in his heart, but he did not go against his mother's wishes, and stayed at home obediently.
On Cheng Xi's side, because they were not as fast as Xu Sanlang's long legs, they did not lose them while jogging. It was just that the two of them were still left far behind by Xu Sanlang.
Of course, Cheng Xi did not forget to ask him about the situation, "What happened? Didn't Xu Sanlang's maternal grandfather not recognize him? Why did someone suddenly come to find him? "
Xu Lan gasped for breath as she replied, "The one that has come is a little kid, he's staying at our doorstep, he's not even as old as your little brother, and dressed in rags like a beggar. She said that he came to find big brother, that his granny wanted to see his big brother, and no matter how hard she tried to chase her away, she still couldn't get rid of him. "Hu!"
After Xu Lan finished speaking, she took a deep breath, and completely exhausted her, causing her to look exhausted. Looking at Cheng Xi who was by the side and was not as big as her, whose face did not change, walking as though she was flying, Xu Lan was impressed. Although she was younger than him, her walking speed was actually much faster than her.
Along the way, she also met many villagers who wanted to go up and ask about gossip, but seeing how anxious the few of them were, she did not bother to go forward to greet them, and even if they did not greet them, Cheng Xi would not stop and reply casually.
Along the way, they had finally reached the entrance of the Xu residence. Then, they saw a scene that made Cheng Xi's heart clench, several people surrounded by Xu Family at the entrance all stared at a skinny kid who was tightly pressing against the door. That kid was around two years old and was currently being pulled fiercely by the Lady Lee, while the rest of the Xu Family were just watching coldly from the sidelines.
What was even more hateful was that Xu Erlang actually used his leg to kick such a thin and weak child, and even threatened, "You're not going, if you don't go, I'll kick you until you fly away."
No one knew where the child got the strength from, but he held on tightly to the doorstep, not letting go. No matter how Lady Lee pulled, or how Xu Erlang kicked him.
Just as Xu Erlang's second leg was about to descend, Xu Sanlang timely went forward and pulled the child into his embrace. Xu Erlang didn't even have time to retract his leg before he kicked Xu Sanlang's body.
Seeing Xu Sanlang's actions, Xu Erlang subjectively thought that Xu Sanlang was going against him, and angrily glared at Xu Sanlang with cold eyes as he interrogated, "Xu Sanlang, what are you doing?"
Cheng Xi who had rushed over sneered and said, "What? I want to stop you from abusing children. It is truly inhumane for such a young child to be willing to do such a thing. "
Lady Lee and Xu Erlang stared at Cheng Xi with sinister eyes, but when they felt Xu Wenyu's warning eyes, they did not dare to say anything in the end.
Cheng Xi looked at Lady Lee and Xu Erlang, and continued to speak with a cold smile, "So the laws of Xu Family are all for fun? Why is it that after recognizing the wrong person in front of our ancestors, you suddenly appeared at the entrance in high spirits? "
Just as Cheng Xi finished speaking, she heard Xu Wenyu scolding, "Why are you so busy asking about your children, I didn't notice, who allowed you to come out? "I'll think about it when I get back."
When Lady Lee and Xu Erlang heard Xu Wenyu's reprimand, they hated Cheng Xi so much that their teeth itched, and wished that they could go up and tear Cheng Xi apart alive. However, due to Xu Wenyu's dignity, they gritted their teeth and walked inside the house.
As for Xu Sanlang, he was holding the child in his arms and only blankly looking at the child's face and didn't react for a long time.
Cheng Xi speechlessly reached out to take the child in Xu Sanlang's embrace, but unexpectedly, the child was hugging onto Xu Sanlang's neck tightly and called out, "Big brother, I want big brother."
Cheng Xi pointed at Xu Sanlang, and asked the child who was lying on Xu Sanlang's shoulder with a face full of wariness, "Is he your big brother?"
The little boy opened his round and teary eyes and looked at Cheng Xi, nodding her head. Seeing this child, Cheng Xi felt a sense of familiarity, and then Cheng Xi widened his eyes and asked Xu Sanlang in shock, "He can't really be your little brother, right?"
Xu Sanlang, who did not want to remain silent all this time, actually opened his mouth and said, "He should be my cousin."
Cheng Xi was flabbergasted, "C- cousin?"
Xu Sanlang nodded, and then asked the child in his arms: "Are you a Fann Family Child?"
The child nodded and introduced himself, "I'm a hundred years old, are you big brother Hao?"
Xu Sanlang's eyes reddened as he nodded, and the child continued speaking, "Grandmother has fallen asleep. Before she fell asleep, she told me many times to come to Stone Bridge Village to look for Zi Hao. I had to look for him for quite a few days before finding him.
Cheng Xi's eyes reddened. How old is this child, to be this thin, he probably did not eat for a few days, and was still able to endure and find this place. This lord actually also had the heart, but Cheng Xi felt that this child's words were a little strange.
After hearing the child's words, Xu Sanlang continued to ask, "Where is your mother? How can I let you escape alone? "
The hundred year old child said sorrowfully, "Mom left. She said she couldn't stand me and Grandma, so she left. I was very diligent and obedient, but Mom still didn't like me."
The child started to cry, "Grandmother is also asleep! No matter how I wake her up, I can't wake her up. Zihao gege, can you wake up Grandmother for me?" "Sob, sob, sob …"
Cheng Xi finally realized that something was amiss with the child's words and asked, "Your grandmother was asleep for a long time?"
The child began to break his fingers, murmuring, "It's been so long, so long, my steamed bun is finished, the pancake is finished."
Cheng Xi worriedly asked Xu Sanlang after hearing it, "Where is your maternal grandma's house, let's go and take a look."
