The Pretty Peasant Wife

Chapter III - Fourth Brother Comes

Cheng Xi returned to reality from the deliciousness. The smile on her face slowly disappeared as she spoke in a depressed tone, "I'm still injured on my head, how do I work?"

Xu Sanlang tidied up the cupboard that he had rummaged through and replied, "It's up to you. I won't give you anything I don't have."

Cheng Xi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, thinking back to the Aunt Faang who was good to him yesterday, she asked, "Where is my Aunt Faang?"

Xu Sanlang looked up and replied, "I've returned to the county."

Cheng Xi opened her eyes wide in shock. What did he say to look for her for? What the hell was going on? Furthermore, she didn't even know where the county city was. Could it be that if she wanted to find her for food when she was hungry, she had to first go to the county city?

With her hopes shattered, then thinking back to what the old lady had scolded him about earlier, Cheng Xi sighed, placed the last bit of dried meat into her mouth, and sat down on the bed. She was still wearing the unsuitable set of red wedding dress, the cloth shoes on the floor were actually a new pair.

Xu Sanlang turned his head, and looked at the little girl in front of him with a complicated expression. He sighed in his heart, he had thought that he wasn't stupid when he looked at her;

Other than sighing, there were no other emotions. He had long seen through the human emotions. To him, having too many emotions only added to his worries. Plus, it was already good enough that he could survive. He didn't have time to care about others.

Seeing that the young man had completely ignored him and turned around to leave, Cheng Xi couldn't help but pout her lips and wave her fist towards the young man's back. Then, she started to pull at the bottom of her clothes, and quickly followed behind him.

Cheng Xi chased after the youth as she said, "I haven't washed my hair yet."

The youth outside stopped in her tracks, waited until Cheng Xi had stepped through the doorstep, then pointed to the side of the door. Cheng Xi followed the youth's gaze and saw the wooden basin and bucket placed by the side of the courtyard wall.

Cheng Xi carefully observed the water in the basin. Luckily, it was the same as her previous face, a round face, delicate features, and clear eyes, it was slightly more tender and darker than before, but compared to the people she saw here, their black skin was much better, just barely acceptable.

Cheng Xi washed her face while she observed her surroundings. The thatched cottage was built while leaning against the outer wall of a courtyard. It was a simple and crude thatched cottage.

In front of the thatched cottage was a large green vegetable patch filled with all sorts of different vegetables. Further up the vegetable patch was a mountain, and beyond that was an endless stretch of mountains.

Cheng Xi who was used to seeing tall buildings, looked at the scene in front of him. If it wasn't for the situation she was in right now, she would have felt that this environment was very comfortable, but from now on, she would have to live in this environment.

The mountain that stretched out into the distance suddenly reminded Cheng Xi of a lesson in primary school. The mountain was still on the other side of the mountain, so it turned out to be like this. Now that she finally had a deeper understanding, she really wanted to know whether the mountain over there was the mountain or not.

Xu Sanlang had already gone to work in the garden, he slowly washed himself with cold water, it was fortunate that the weather was not too cold.

Cheng Xi was absentmindedly rolling on the wall beside the house, and did not notice anyone coming from behind him. On the other hand, Xu Sanlang who was just going to the yard, had always been paying attention to Cheng Xi, and would occasionally raise her head to look as she worked, so whenever someone appeared around the corner, he would notice them.

Seeing him, Xu Sanlang frowned. He stood up from the ground and saw that the person was holding a parcel as he walked towards his house. In the end, he walked over and prepared to take a look.

Cheng Xi was still rinsing her mouth thinking about things, she was lost in thought until the sound of voices came from behind him. Then, she stood up and looked towards the direction of the voice.

"Call me?" Cheng Xi looked at Xu Erlang, who was not far away and was looking at him with disdain, and asked uncertainly.

Xu Erlang gave a cold snort, "Hmph, I didn't tell you to call out to someone, you're indeed a fool. Here, take your things. "Silly, luckily she's not my wife."

As Xu Erlang spoke, he unceremoniously threw the package in his hands towards Cheng Xi's direction. While he spoke, he looked at Cheng Xi with a gaze filled with contradiction, the face that had just been washed still had water droplets on it, that round face, fair skin, and delicate features, especially those pair of large eyes, were always spirited and especially attractive. The reason he agreed to marry the eleven year old little girl was also because she had become the symbol of the village.

Looking at the little girl not far away, Xu Erlang sighed emotionally in his heart, "Such a marked little girl, it's a pity that she turned out to be a fool.

And at this time, Xu Sanlang had also quickly walked over, and after knowing the purpose of the person, he stood there expressionlessly, and called out "Second Brother" in an indifferent manner.

Xu Erlang heard the voice and looked towards Xu Sanlang, but his eyes were filled with disgust. He did not reply, as though he did not want to stay here for another second, he quickly turned and prepared to leave.

When Cheng Xi saw the bag that Xu Erlang threw on the ground again, a smile appeared on his face, and when the bag was thrown on the ground, she immediately saw that it should be a set of clothes. If that person said it was his bag just now, then it would definitely be his clothes, so she didn't need to wear the big red wedding gown anymore.

As for that Xu Erlang from before, and his attitude towards his, it was a stranger whom she did not recognize. Cheng Xi did not take it to heart at all.

Cheng Xi quickly walked over to the bundle, at the same time, she looked at the package on the ground, her eyes squinted, she shouted "Don't go over there", and started moving, quickly heading towards Cheng Xi's direction.

It was just that Cheng Xi wasn't too far away from the package to begin with, and adding that she was looking forward to quickly getting the bag and leaving, she had already reached the package's side the moment Xu Sanlang spoke.

Xu Erlang who had already walked to the corner of the wall heard the commotion behind and curiously turned around.

Ah!" Cheng Xi, who had just squatted down, saw the snake wrapped around his body, holding its head and spitting out a red tongue at him. Cheng Xi, who was currently frightened by the snake's attack, reacted extremely quickly as she screamed and quickly retreated. When she saw that there was someone from behind him, she did not care who it was anymore and immediately pounced forward screaming, afraid that the snake would chase after him.

Xu Sanlang speechlessly looked at the little girl who looked like a vine as she climbed up his body with all her strength. He reached out and pulled her down as he coldly said, "Come down."

He just didn't expect that the petite girl would have so much strength to cling onto him like a piece of plaster.

Xu Erlang stood at the corner, and looked at the little girl who was supposed to be his wife, and actually hung onto him. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, and just as he was about to berate her, he suddenly remembered that she was a fool, and he did not want her.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Xu Erlang scolded loudly, "Shameless adulterers, it's rather suitable to be together with them."

"Who's the adulterer?" A voice came from behind the voice.

Xu Erlang turned his head to look in the direction the voice came from, and casually asked, "Over there, can't you look at it yourself?"

Only, Xu Erlang never thought that the moment he turned his head, what welcomed him was actually a hard fist, that unceremoniously swung towards his face.

"Who is the adulterer? "Hmm?"

"Aiyo, we were originally adulterers … Aiyo, stop hitting me, I won't say anymore."

With such a large commotion, Cheng Xi, who was crawling on his body like a vine, was finally alarmed. She turned her head to look at the origin of the sound, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around Xu Sanlang's body without any signs of loosening.

"The snake is gone. You get down first." Xu Sanlang was feeling very helpless. No matter how this girl tried, he couldn't pull it off, so he could only hope that she would let go by himself.

When Cheng Xi heard them call him a adulterer, she finally understood how indecent her posture was, but no matter how indecent his actions were, they could not be compared to the fear of the snake just now. After carefully confirming that there were no snakes around, he got off Xu Sanlang's body and asked Xu Sanlang suspiciously, "Why are they fighting?"

Xu Sanlang coldly replied, "The one who beat him is your brother."

Cheng Xi looked at the youth who was beating Xu Erlang up on the ground. Her eyes were filled with suspicion. Wasn't big brother a thin and handsome young man? That teenager was so tall and sturdy, how could she be an elder brother?

After Xu Sanlang finished speaking, the person at the side did not have any reaction at all, he turned his head to look at the girl who was looking at him with a puzzled expression. Xu Sanlang sighed in his heart, and walked over, although he himself felt that he should beat this Second Brother up, but if he did not, if he continued to fight like this, something would happen.

Cheng Xi saw that the person beside him had left, and thought of that terrifying snake from before. How could he dare to stay here alone, he hurriedly followed along, step by step, even shouting, "Wait for me."

The Xu Family Member heard the wails coming from this side and quickly came over. Seeing Xu Erlang being pressed down on the ground and getting pummeled, Xu Erlang's mother Lady Lee immediately rushed over wailing like a ghost, "Aiyo, my son, you little bastard! You dare to hit me, I'll kill you!"

However, facing an elder who was actually a middle-aged woman who pounced on him, grabbing and scratching him, he really didn't have the strength to fight back.

Seeing that his mother had held back the person on his body, Xu Erlang finally crawled up from the ground, and quickly hid behind the Old Madam Xu who had come over with her.
