The Pretty Peasant Wife

Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at Old Madam Xu and Lady Lee who looked like they were playing a big joke.

Old Madam Xu at the side also acted like a madame, taking over the conversation, "This old one allowed you to go to the county city? "You better stay in the village and work or I'll show you."

Hearing Old Madam Xu's words that were becoming more and more out of place, Cheng Xi couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the old lady's cold gaze drift towards him, Cheng Xi immediately reached out to cover her mouth, and lowered her head to reduce her presence as much as possible, so that the old lady wouldn't turn all of her anger onto him.

However, Cheng Xi's laughter was too abrupt and still caught the old lady's attention. Just as the old lady was about to curse in anger, Xu Sanlang said in time, "You get paid every month."

The moment he heard about money, Old Madam Xu's attention was immediately diverted away. He turned his head to look at Xu Sanlang, and said with shining eyes, "How much is it in a month?"

Xu Sanlang said in a low voice, "It should not be too low."

The Old Madam Xu's eyes shone with a gold light as she asked, "Where are you working? When I go to the County City to see your Fourth Uncle, I'll help you take a look."

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and frowned slightly, he did not say anything more, but Cheng Xi was worried that Xu Sanlang would honestly tell Old Madam Xu, and it would become troublesome if he really ran over there, thus hearing Xu Sanlang's silence, he calmed down.

Xu Erlang who had been silent this whole time came forward and said, "I was asking you a question, why aren't you saying anything? "Milk, I think they are going to hide in the county town so they don't have to do farm work. Take a look, if you ask where they are, you won't be able to speak."

How could Cheng Xi not know about the little girl? She despised this kind of lazy man the most, so she stood up first and looked at Xu Erlang with disdain, "Don't we still have you at home, or do you intend to go out and work for money? Then let Xu Sanlang stay behind to do farm work. "

Xu Erlang stared at Cheng Xi in dissatisfaction, "Did you get your hands on something?"

Old Madam Xu looked at Cheng Xi with a gloomy gaze, but Cheng Xi did not intend to continue kneeling no matter what. Previously, she had wanted to endure as much as possible, rather than waste less time, and was too lazy to lower herself to these people, but now, looking at this troublesome Xu Family Member who was talking endlessly, she didn't know how much longer she could continue kneeling.

Xu Sanlang opened his mouth once again to interrupt Old Madam Xu who was just about to throw a tantrum at Cheng Xi, "Milk, my wife and I will pay you 500 coins per month."

What Cheng Xi had said before reminded the old lady that, with so many people in the family, there was no need to worry about having no one to work for them. However, the monthly allowance of 500 coins was not something that could be earned.

Furthermore, when Fourth Brother left today, he said that he needed sufficient silver coins to take care of their relationship. With Xu Family's current situation, Old Madam Xu was the clearest.

If he wanted to go up to Fourth Brother, he would need more silver coins. However, other than the small amount of income from the fields, all that was left in his family were the few wages that Xu Dalang had earned from working outside, and after a year, it had only been a little more than 10 taels of silver. He did not expect that Xu Sanlang had more money than Xu Dalang to earn from working outside.

When Xu Erlang heard that Xu Sanlang could earn five hundred gold coins in a month, he was both envious and jealous. That money could not even reach him, so no matter how he thought, he felt uncomfortable. In my opinion, you went to the county to brag happily in order to get rid of your family, but this Big Brother didn't even get five hundred dollars a month. You actually got five hundred dollars on your first trip to the county? "

Cheng Cai looked at Xu Erlang's mocking face and said in disdain, "Do you think that everyone is like you?!

Seeing that the old lady's expression had changed, Lady Lee immediately pulled Xu Erlang, who was planning to continue arguing with Cheng Cai, back then, Lady Lee knew her mother-in-law very well. Maybe she would help her son step on Xu Sanlang's legs in other things, but that was her mother-in-law's bottom line.

Seeing that Xu Erlang had obediently stopped talking, Old Madam Xu was satisfied, he turned to Xu Sanlang who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Then you can go to the county to work, five hundred gold coins per month, not a single one can be missing, your wife will stay home to work."

Cheng Xi said bluntly as she replied, "You wish."

Just as Cheng Xi was about to extend her hand to stop him, Xu Sanlang who was on the ground moved a step faster than Cheng Xi. He stood up and blocked in front of Cheng Xi and coincidentally, Old Madam Xu's slap landed on Xu Sanlang's arm, who was protecting Cheng Xi.

Old Madam Xu was still counting on Xu Sanlang to make money for her, but it was rare for her not to beat Xu Sanlang up like last time, instead, she opened her mouth and shouted with a gloomy face, "Get out of the way."

Xu Sanlang did not move aside, but said, "I want to bring her along."

Old Madam Xu's voice gradually became louder, "You dare disobey the elders? Who does the work at home, she has to stay home and work. "

Cheng Xi sneered, she peeked her head out from behind Xu Sanlang and said, "You said that you want me to stay, so I have to stay? "You mischievous old woman, you don't even give me a bite of food, and you still want me to work for you? Dream on, if you make me so angry, I'll burn your house down."

Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Cheng Chen wanted to go up and stop his, but he was stopped by Lady Wu who was at the side.

Old Madam Xu, who had calmed down with great difficulty, was once again blown a beard and glared at Cheng Xi, "You uncultured brat. If I don't teach you a lesson today, get out of my way."

Cheng Xi looked at this shameless old lady, and was completely too lazy to fight with her. Since she was not going to give him face, he might as well tear off his pride to cheer her up, "You think I'm afraid of you? That's just because you're old and don't want to lower yourself to your level. Do you really think you're that good? "Tch!"

The angrier the Old Madam Xu got, the more she rushed towards Cheng Xi. However, she was stopped by Xu Sanlang, "She's also found a job in the county city, and every month, he'll earn a hundred gold coins."

Indeed, money is the thing that is most persuasive, the originally angry Old Madam Xu immediately forgot to take care of Cheng Xi, and looked up and down at Cheng Xi with suspicion, "What can a little girl do? Is that true? "

Xu Sanlang nodded, "Washing the dishes in the restaurant."

Hearing that it was about washing the dishes, the Old Madam Xu asked in shock, "One hundred coins per month for washing the dishes?"

Xu Sanlang nodded, the Old Madam Xu's eyes lit up, and said, "Then, bring the girls at home over to wash the dishes."

Xu Sanlang was speechless, but he still frowned and replied: There's only two people left.

The Old Madam Xu looked at Xu Sanlang in dissatisfaction. Seeing that Xu Sanlang did not seem to have anything to say, he decided to give up and replied, "600 gold a month, submitted on time every month, if not."

He gave Xu Sanlang a warning glance, then turned and spoke to the Xu Family Member behind him, "Go back, why are you all standing here so late at night? A group of lazy slacks have not even finished mining.

Under Old Madam Xu's curses, she gradually disappeared from the walls of the Xu Family courtyard. Lady Wu spat in the direction of Xu Family Member and scolded, "Damn old granny, so shameless."

Although she had to pay six hundred gold coins every month, she finally got rid of the Old Madam Xu, and it seemed that she would not cause trouble for them if he gave them the money. Although Cheng Xi felt sorry for the money she earned, thinking that she could live a peaceful life in the future, she did not care, as long as she worked hard, this money could still be earned.

"Let's go back first." Cheng Xi called for everyone and went over to the thatched hut together.

Under the moonlight, she saw that the iron lock on the straw house's door was actually still intact. Cheng Xi was a little surprised, and could not help but exclaim, "The door actually wasn't opened."

Madame Wu snorted coldly, "I think that old woman is busy. She only sent her Elementary Scholar son away in the afternoon, and at least her Elementary Scholar's wife is from the Cheng Family. She should at least give her some face."

Xu Sanlang took out a key and opened the door, lighting up the oil lamp. Since everything inside was still there, everyone started to clean up, after they were done, and looked at the empty thatched cottage, Lady Wu said in disgust, "All of your clothes are gone, you two go back to live, it's just this broken house, there's nothing here, how can I live here?"

Madame Wu did not have the intention to refuse, she had no plans to discuss this with the two of them, and after she finished speaking she already started to help the two of them pack up their clothes, Xu Sanlang who wanted to reject them had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Cheng Xi knew that Xu Sanlang was uncomfortable in his heart, he opened his mouth and comforted his, "Anyway, I have to leave the day after tomorrow, not stay for long, I will just help out for the day tomorrow."

Xu Sanlang nodded his head, and did not speak any further. He did not think that this matter would go so smoothly, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, those were his family members, perhaps they did not hurt him when there was no comparison. In the past, the Xu Family Member had always treated him like this, and after a while, he gradually got used to it.

But after coming into contact with the Cheng Family Member and seeing how they were getting along, only then did she feel that she was so pitiful. In his eyes, there was only money as a mother's milk, burning brothers, uncles who were blind, and those were his family. In their eyes, there was not even a trace of care or care from his family, there was only disgust.

He hoped to have a family like Cheng Family, but he was also worried, worried that all of this was just an illusion, and that it would disappear right in front of his eyes.
