However, she still hoped that you would help raise her grandson, your little cousin, and raise her. A hundred years is the only child of the Fann Family, if you were to lose it, the roots of the Fann Family would be severed, ai, she went all of a sudden, and the hundred years old child disappeared too, and I told my family to look around, but did not find anyone. A two year old child, he also went somewhere. "

Cheng Xi immediately replied, "I went to our village to find him at the age of a hundred. He's at my mother's house right now."

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, the old lady said in a gratified tone, "That's good, that's good. If anything happened to this child, then his Fann Family is truly finished."

Xu Sanlang sat by the side of the table, eyes red, without saying a word. The old lady looked at the youth in front of his, waiting for him to express his stance, but seeing that the youth had lowered his head, not moving the purse in front of him nor opening his mouth to speak, he started to feel a little apprehensive, and carefully advised, "Although this money isn't much, it's something your grandmother saved up from living frugally. Adding the money from selling the house, it's enough for a hundred year old child to eat for a few years.

Cheng Xi also felt that this hundred year old child was pitiful, but she would not easily make this decision for Xu Sanlang.

Furthermore, she was sympathizing with Fann Family sympathizing with that child, but she also had her own selfish motives. Right now, their own lives were a mess, and thinking about how they would have another two year old child in the future, she felt a little headache.

But if Xu Sanlang agreed, Cheng Xi would not object, even if she knew that it would be even more difficult to keep the child, she could not be such a heartless person.

Xu Sanlang who had been silent all this time finally spoke out in a hoarse voice, "Thank you Grandma Guo, I will take care of this matter."

Old Madam Guo and Second Brother Guo heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. The old lady looked at Xu Sanlang with gratitude and said, "Fann Family was not raised for nothing back then. That hundred year old child, he will have to thank you all for your hard work.

Xu Sanlang nodded silently.

The old lady saw that Xu Sanlang did not say anything, and knew that this child was still feeling sad. She had done all he needed to do, so he stood up and said: "We will be leaving first, you guys are doing well."

After that, she let his son help him up and walk out the door. Seeing that Xu Sanlang had his head lowered without making a sound, Cheng Xi could only stand up and greet him.

After Cheng Xi sent everyone into the room, Xu Sanlang was still the same as before. He lowered his head with red eyes and looked completely motionless.

Cheng Xi sighed, then reminded Yun Che, "It's getting late, why don't we go back earlier, it's getting dark."

Xu Sanlang finally made his move as he stood up and walked out. Cheng Xi hurriedly picked up the bag on the table and followed behind him.

Outside the door, Cheng Xi looked at the dilapidated courtyard and asked, "What about this courtyard?"

Xu Sanlang had finally recovered slightly. Looking at the courtyard behind him, he sighed and said, "I'll go in and see if there's a lock. Let's lock it."

This farmhouse usually had a lock, so Xu Sanlang went back inside the house and flipped two more locks. Cheng Xi looked at the fence wall where even the child could jump in, and felt that locking the entrance of the courtyard was useless, if someone inside had ulterior motives, they would have gone in too, but the lock actually did not have much use. Seeing that Xu Sanlang was already locking the wooden door inside, Cheng Xi bit her lips and swallowed her words.

Along the way, Xu Sanlang kept his head down and silently walked forward. Cheng Xi knew that Xu Sanlang was feeling sad, so she didn't say anything and only silently followed behind Xu Sanlang. Only Xu Sanlang walked too fast, and Cheng Xi had to continuously jog in order to catch up to Xu Sanlang's footsteps.

Halfway through, Xu Sanlang heard Cheng Xi gasping for breath and came to a stop. After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he habitually squatted down in front of Cheng Xi and signaled him to come up.

Today, Cheng Xi knew that Xu Sanlang was sad and it was rare for him not to move, so she said, "I can walk by myself."

Xu Sanlang did not get up, and his hoarse voice sounded, "Come up."

Cheng Xi could only go over, lie on Xu Sanlang's back and gently hold Xu Sanlang's neck.

As she laid on Xu Sanlang's back, Cheng Xi seemed to be able to feel Xu Sanlang's sorrow. It seemed that Xu Sanlang still had some deep feelings for his grandmother, Cheng Xi thought to herself, and at the same time, thought about how she should comfort Xu Sanlang.

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Xi's hands tightened around Xu Sanlang's neck. She rested her head on Xu Sanlang's shoulder and said softly, "You still have me."

Xu Sanlang's posture stopped for a moment, and after giving a light "En", he continued to walk forward.

Cheng Xi was also unable to find anything to say to console Xu Sanlang, so she tried to say it in this manner. She didn't expect that after these words, Xu Sanlang's footsteps were obviously not as heavy as before, and even his walking speed had become a bit faster.

When they were close to the Stone Bridge Village, the sky had already gradually darkened, and once they reached the village, Cheng Xi automatically got off Xu Sanlang's back. Otherwise, if the villagers saw him, they would probably criticize him again.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, even though Xu Sanlang was sad in his heart, he still had to face a question. What should he do with this child?

Cheng Xi was about to ask Xu Sanlang, but since she didn't want Xu Sanlang to ask him, she opened her mouth first, "I, I want to keep this child." It was obvious that her tone was lacking confidence, and she was afraid that Cheng Xi might not agree.

Cheng Xi sighed. Although she knew it would be difficult to keep this child, she still nodded and replied, "It's good that you've made your decision."

Hearing Cheng Xi's reply, Xu Sanlang heaved a sigh of relief, and then revealed his thoughts on the way, "I plan to go to the Prefecture City with Second Brother and the others after the new year, and ultimately earn a lot more than going to the county city's restaurant."

Cheng Xi heard and frowned, "Then what about the Fann Family children?"

Xu Sanlang said, "Stay at home with cousin, I will earn more money to support you."

Cheng Xi frowned, "Stay at home? Which family? I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Xu Family any longer. It's fine for me to stay in my mother's house, but with a child, I'm afraid that Cheng Family won't be able to rest for long. "

Xu Sanlang originally had a plan in his heart, but he still hesitated and couldn't say it out loud. He remained silent for a while, then mustered the courage to speak out, "How about, how about you two stay at Ming Shui Village first?"

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang with wide eyes, "Can you tell me about the previous courtyard?"

Seeing Xu Sanlang nod his head, Cheng Xi decisively shook his head and rejected, "I don't want it. There used to be no place for people to live until now. "How terrifying."

As she said that, Cheng Xi's body couldn't help but shiver, and the last part was Cheng Xi didn't say anything, but when she thought about how Xu Sanlang's maternal grandma died in that courtyard, and how her corpse was only discovered because it reeked, Cheng Xi's heart started to fill with panic.

Looking at Cheng Xi's fearful expression, Xu Sanlang suddenly remembered that Cheng Xi was not very bold, he was even afraid of the caterpillars on the ground. It would be impossible to leave her in the courtyard with a child.

At this time, Xu Sanlang was also a little unsure of what to do. Originally, Cheng Xi did not think too much about what to do with her child.

Xu Sanlang would definitely earn more when he goes to Prefecture City than in the restaurant, but if Xu Sanlang went to Prefecture City, it would be inconvenient for him to bring a child to the restaurant for work.

Cheng Xi thought about the bag that she had put away previously, and took it out. She held it in her hand, and it felt a little heavy, but after coming here for a long time, Cheng Xi knew, this copper coin was heavy to begin with.

Thinking back to when Grandma Guo said that there was money in the bag to sell the house, Cheng Xi was filled with anticipation. Under the gradually darkening sky, she opened the bag and looked inside.

Cheng Xi excitedly handed the bag over to Xu Sanlang, and said, "Let's see how much is inside." Although Cheng Xi recognized the amount of silver, he knew very well how much it was.

Xu Sanlang took the purse from Cheng Xi's hands, but did not do as Cheng Xi said, and stuffed it into her pocket, then said: "This silver was all left by my grandma for my cousin, we cannot touch it."

Cheng Xi secretly rolled her eyes, but she still discussed with Xu Sanlang, "I originally thought that once we had the money, we would open our own small eatery, with this money, we would have an excuse to get the money. How about we just borrow it, then we can return the money to them after we earn it."

Xu Sanlang replied, "Then let's keep this money, aren't we saving some, why don't you take that money and open a shop?"

Cheng Xi replied helplessly, "With just that little bit of savings, it's only enough to set up a stall, how can it be enough to make a decent little snack bar?"

He never thought that Xu Sanlang would be so stubborn, "Anyway, this money belongs to our cousin, we can't touch it."

Cheng Xi pouted and said, "Fine, if you don't move, then why don't we borrow the money."

Xu Sanlang tilted his head and looked at Cheng Xi, "What plans do you have?"

Cheng Xi nodded his head and replied, "You have to go to the Prefecture City, so I can't leave you with a child. I'm still a child myself, so I thought like this, you might as well not go to the Prefecture City, helping other people out in restaurants would not earn too much money no matter how good the work is. How about this, we can just set up our own small eatery in the county city, with my skills, we can definitely make money."

Xu Sanlang had long seen Cheng Xi's culinary skills before, he did not think that Cheng Xi was exaggerating, but Cheng Xi did not want to go back to the restaurant and cook herself as a snack bar, did she feel sorry for Ruyi Restaurant?

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, she waited for Xu Sanlang's response. Seeing that Xu Sanlang was silent for a long time, he pushed Xu Sanlang away, "How is it?"
