The Pretty Peasant Wife

After Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang left the city gates, they were preparing to check if there were any ox-carts to return to Qing Shi Town, but before they could even take a few steps, Xu Erlang had already appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

Xu Erlang's face darkened. After expending a great deal of effort, he resisted the urge to pounce forward, and said coldly: "Fourth Uncle is waiting for you over there."

Xu Erlang blamed the humiliation he suffered today on Xu Sanlang and, seeing them again now was akin to seeing his mortal enemy. If not for his Fourth Uncle's reminder that he should not be impulsive, even if he could not beat Xu Sanlang, Xu Erlang would have pounced on him and fought with his life on the line.

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang frowned when they saw Xu Erlang. After hearing Xu Erlang's words, they then looked towards the direction Xu Erlang had pointed to, and saw that all the Xu Family Member they had seen today were there.

Cheng Xi sighed in her heart, and secretly cursed. As expected, escaping was not a problem, after all, escaping was not possible for a lifetime, and after just a short period of time, she was caught again.

The two of them obediently followed Xu Erlang, and before the two of them could say anything, Old Madam Xu opened his mouth first with a gloomy face, "You're quite capable, to actually dare lie to me? Didn't he say that he was unable to return? What in the world is he up to? Where did all this come from? "Are you guys hiding behind my back or something? Tell me honestly, or I'll show you guys."

Lady Lee also had a gloomy face, her eyes were completely red as she stared at the two of them and chimed in, "As expected of the unlucky stars, they are lured together by people who aren't too strong, I don't know …"

Before she even finished speaking, she was stopped by a glance from Xu Wenyu. Lady Lee could only shut her mouth obediently and unwillingly, while Lady Ma stood at the side with his head lowered quietly. Even Xu Sanlang who came over, raised his head and looked at the two of them in an indifferent manner, then lowered his head again.

Cheng Xi saw through the Lady Ma's actions, and estimated that if this person was not truly magnanimous, then she would be someone with the deepest scheming of all. This kind of person was much more difficult to deal with than the brainless Lady Lee.

Seeing the two of them not saying a word, Old Madam Xu could not help but scold them again, "I'm asking you guys a question, did you hide these things behind my back?"

If it was something else, Xu Wenyu would perhaps help the two of them. After all, the two of them had an extraordinary relationship with Yu Zhaocai, and he should treat them better for the time being, but as it was related to the money, he would not turn a blind eye to them. Most of the money that the old lady held in his hands would go to him, and now that he was in need of money, he hoped that the two of them could get into his private rooms and be dug out by his.

How could Xu Sanlang, who could not speak in the first place, lie? Her face was flushed red and she lowered her head to speak, but Cheng Xi had to answer for herself, "How much do you think we can pay? She could even hide a private room? Young Master Yu gave these to us, let us go to a nearby village to take a look at him, it would be hard for him to pass. "

Cheng Xi silently apologized to Yu Zhaocai in her heart. Xu Sanlang was also very speechless when he heard this.

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Wenyu's eyes started to shine again, he asked curiously: Why is Young Master Yu befriending someone outside? Who is it, in which village? "

As for Cheng Xi, she was just a little girl who hadn't even grown enough yet, so Xu Wenyu never thought that she would be able to earn so much money. The moment he mentioned where Yu Zhaocai got the money from, Xu Wenyu did not hesitate to believe it at all.

Hearing Xu Wenyu's words, Cheng Xi smiled as she replied, "If it wasn't for you forcing me, I would not have revealed the matter of Young Master Yu's good relationship, Fourth Uncle, do you think that you can just casually tell this kind of thing to others?"

Xu Wenyu's mind spun, but he started to have some doubts, "Young Master Yu doesn't seem to be married yet, why are you sneaking around when there's someone you have a good relationship with?"

Cheng Xi replied, "Young Master Yu is not married, as for why he was sneaking around, why do you think so?"

When the chattering Lady Lee heard Cheng Xi's words, she asked in shock, "That scumbag is actually with a married woman?"

Lady Lee's voice was not soft, adding on to the fact that this matter was too interesting, there were already many people walking in and out of the city gate, and in a blink of an eye, there were quite a few looking in their direction.

Xu Wenyu said coldly, and without being polite at all, he scolded, "If second sister continues to talk like this, I will return to the village. From now on, there is no need to enter the city anymore."

It had to be said that Xu Wenyu had some prestige in front of Xu Family Member, and this included the arrogant Old Madam Xu, who listened to her son. Hearing Xu Wenyu's words, he gave him a fierce stare, and Lady Lee's face instantly paled.

Cheng Xi secretly praised his cleverness, finding an excuse was not bad, she did not want to get entangled with them anymore, she only thought of leaving quickly, and said: "Then we will be leaving first."

Although Xu Wenyu was still a little suspicious, he could not ask any further, and could not keep the two of them, as they might have other things to take care of in the future. Furthermore, the silver they handed over could also be considered a good income, so he nodded and said gently, "You two should be careful."

The corner of Cheng Xi's mouth twitched, and thought that as long as she doesn't meet the both of you, she doesn't need to be careful of anything. On the surface, she still obediently nodded, and then, the two of them proceeded to travel in the opposite direction of the Green Stone Town.

Xu Wenyu waited until the two of them were far away before muttering to himself, "The girl that Xu Sanlang married is not simple, what a pity."

The Old Madam Xu heard Xu Wenyu's words, "Of course it's not simple, sooner or later he'll anger me to death, what's wrong with this jinx?"

Xu Wenyu asked, "Mother, don't you feel that the current Sanlang is no longer the same Sanlang from before?"

Old Madam Xu pursed her lips in disdain and replied, "What's different about it? — It's not like all of them aren't jinxes. "

Xu Wenyu sighed and replied, "The previous Xu Sanlang listened to you more, but the present Xu Sanlang is no longer like this, he started listening to that little girl no matter what."

The Cheng Xi that was mentioned by Xu Wenyu just now was not simple, he immediately forgot about it and replied, "She's just a little girl, I was afraid that she would turn the tables, even if he earns money, wouldn't he have to obediently hand it over to me?"

Xu Wenyu felt that it was completely unreasonable with his mother, and he helplessly reminded her, "Mother shouldn't go and provoke her in the future. I might still have things that I need her for in the future."

Xu Lan, who had always been standing beside Lady Ma in silence, finally threw aside her mother's advice and could not help but say, "Yes, she is very familiar with Young Master Yu."

Old Madam Xu originally wanted to slander Cheng Xi, who had made her extremely angry. However, after hearing Xu Lan's reminder, she remembered what her own son had said about the Young Master Yu. In addition to the experiences of her two daughter-in-laws and Xu Erlang, in the end, she still reluctantly shut her mouth.

Xu Erlang was actually concerned about Cheng Xi's sweetheart, and was angry about the humiliation she had suffered today, so he made a plan. If he could catch hold of Yu Zhaocai's weakness, maybe he could take revenge for the humiliation he had suffered today.

Before he could slip away, Xu Wenyu opened his mouth to stop him, "Stand still!"

Xu Erlang could only obediently stop.

Xu Wenyu looked at Xu Erlang coldly and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xu Erlang's eyes flashed as he replied, "Then, let's go out for a stroll."

Xu Wenyu coldly snorted, and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning, and think that you are using Stone Bridge Village? Be quiet, Yu Zhaocai is not someone that you can afford to offend. "

Seeing that his intentions had been seen through, Xu Erlang obediently lowered his head and replied softly, "I just want to follow them and see. Maybe the two of them are going back to Stone Bridge Village."

Xu Wenyu looked at Xu Erlang coldly, "No matter what plans you have, I'll leave it to this person first. If something happens, don't count on me being able to help you."

Lady Lee hurriedly slapped his son, and scolded him, "Whatever Fourth Uncle says, it's for your own good. You better listen carefully."

Xu Erlang also noticed that the way Fourth Uncle looked at him was different from usual, and quickly replied, "I understand, Fourth Uncle."

Although Xu Erlang's brain wasn't very smart, it wasn't so stupid that he would not know anything. If he wanted to establish a foothold in the county, he had to rely on this Fourth Uncle in the future.

He knew to remind his son, to not tell his son to offend his Fourth Uncle, and to listen to his words properly. After all, in the past, his son Xu Erlang was the one that Fourth Uncle had the most interest in.

With regards to Xu Erlang's performance, Xu Wenyu nodded his head in satisfaction. He returned to his previous attitude and said, "Come, let's go back."

And at this time, Cheng Xi was already walking quite a distance away from him, towards the opposite direction of Green Stone Town. Seeing that Cheng Xi still had no intention to stop, she asked, "They should have left already, right? We can't go back yet? "

Cheng Xi sighed, and replied, "Forget it, after we go back, your Fourth Uncle and the others will probably know, and it will probably not be peaceful anymore. Let's go around the city, and go back another day."

Xu Sanlang looked at the large and small parcels in his hands, "These things?"

Cheng Xi said, "Let's go to big sister Ying's house and see when Uncle Wang can come.
