peasant young lady

Chapter 85

Cheng Xia raised her head and looked at Dahua standing beside her with a confused face, and asked in confusion, "Grandfather is back? What does he want from me?"

Dahua shook her head, "Mother is here too, I'm missing you, grandpa may have something to say."

Cheng Xia nuzzled her lips, clapped her hands, stood up and followed Dahua into the room. She hadn't seen this grandfather yet, so it would be nice to meet her.

Entering the main room, I saw two elderly people in their 70s and [-]s sitting on both sides of the Eight Immortals table. Cheng Xia knew that these must be my grandfather and grandmother. on the side.

Zhang's grandfather looked at Cheng Xia coldly, his eyes were uncomfortable no matter how he looked, Cheng Xia lowered his eyebrows and pretended not to see it, an old man who could oppress his own daughter like this, Cheng Xia felt that he had nothing to say to him.

Seeing that Cheng Xia was in place, Zhang's grandfather coughed, then turned to look at Mrs. Zhang, and said as pleasantly as possible, "There are a lot of things to do today, thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Zhang was flattered to look at Zhang's grandfather, secretly raised her eyes and then lowered her head for a moment, and said quickly, "It should, it should."

"Well," seeing Zhang's reaction, Zhang's grandfather responded with satisfaction, and then he got down to business, "The neighbors and relatives will be here in a while, and there are a lot of people to entertain at home, how about this, you take the children first Go home, let Xiaoqiang and Xiaogang visit your house after a while."

Cheng Xia suddenly raised her head, and looked at Zhang's grandfather in disbelief. Mrs. Zhang had worked hard with them for a long time. Cheng Zuo put all the lanterns in place, and took over Du Zhong's work by the way to remove the broken table legs. After a rest, even Cheng You helped wash the dishes, they are the real hardworking people, why did they drive them away without even giving them a meal?
The first time Cheng Xia had such a real feeling for the idiom "killing the donkey by unloading the mill" was in the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago.

Mrs. Zhang was also embarrassed for a moment. Just as she was about to say what she was doing, she heard the aunt standing next to Zhang's grandfather chuckle, "Father, why did you let my sister go? It's not like our family has nothing to eat. Although my sister also It's not right, I brought five children here, it's really as if our food came for free, you see, I brought Xiaoqing alone, hey."

Cheng Xia stared at her toes carefully, she should listen in such a situation.

Zhang's face turned red, Cheng Shang puffed his mouth to say something but didn't say anything, and Cheng You, who was young after all, directly retorted, "We all come here to work, aunt and cousin are the ones. Didn't do anything. My mother came here with rice noodles, and my aunt didn't bring anything, right?"

Mrs. Zhang saw that grandfather Zhang's face turned livid, and quickly covered Cheng You's mouth.

Zhang's grandfather snorted, and said to Cheng You, "Your aunt's presence is enough to make our family flourish, please be content." Then he looked at Mrs. Zhang, "It's getting late, hurry back , all the relatives came late and saw you walking, and it didn't look good."

Cheng Xia obviously heard the ridicule from her aunt and several aunts, but Mrs. Zhang nodded and walked out without saying a word, and Cheng Xia could only follow.

Dahua, who was walking in front of Cheng Xia, stepped out of the threshold and was stumbled by the second aunt who was beside her. Dahua was heavy and fell directly towards the door. Cheng Xia suddenly recovered and helped her, Barely did not fall.

The second aunt laughed, and couldn't stop mocking Da Hua, "Why are you so careless, you're as stupid as a pig, and you haven't given birth yet, it's really occupying the latrine and not shitting, it's a waste of food."

Dahua's expression became depressed in an instant, but she didn't dare to say anything to refute. In this grandfather's house, Mrs. Zhang had no room to speak, let alone her as a granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing Da Hua's reaction, the second aunt couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Looking at you like a bear, it's really disgusting, please come to wash your face next time, it's disgusting to look at, if you want me to say, you're still alive after looking like this What are you doing!"

Cheng Shang held the second aunt's hand with a cold face, squeezed it hard, and suddenly there was a clicking sound, and the second aunt wailed in pain, trying to hit Cheng Xia.Unfortunately, she can't shout loudly, there are so many relatives and guests outside, people just watch jokes when they hear it.

Why didn't she know that Cheng Xia had such strong hands that her bones would be broken if she pinched her.

Cheng Xia didn't intend to have anything to do with his grandfather's family, but if he mocked Dahua so blatantly, Cheng Xia didn't need to save face.

Cheng Xia glanced at many people in the yard looking towards the door, sneered and raised his voice, "Our family has worked hard all morning, and we have finished what you were supposed to do, so we will treat you as the hands-off shopkeeper." I'm going to drive people out, and I won't even give them a meal. If you are so poor, what kind of full moon wine will you make for your children? Can you get good food?"

The second aunt didn't expect Cheng Xia to speak so loudly, seeing more and more people in the yard looking over, her face suddenly became ugly.Zhang's grandfather slapped the table angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Cheng Xia sneered, "If I tell a lie, I will die. Similarly, those who really do this will be struck by lightning. Who dares to bet with me?"

Zhang's grandfather's beard was trembling with anger, and Mrs. Zhang saw it, and hurriedly pulled Cheng Xia's hand away, and said as he walked, "Father and mother, let's go first, you entertain the guests well."

Before Cheng Xia left, she exerted a little force, pinching her second aunt and stamping her feet in pain. Seeing her crying bitterly, Cheng Xia felt angry for Dahua, and followed Mrs. Zhang out.

Being watched by all the guests along the way, Cheng Xia didn't feel anything. She just turned her head and glanced in the direction of the corner, meeting the eyes of Du Zhong, who was looking at her with relish, and Du Zhong quickly looked away.

It wasn't until they left Huangdun Village that Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and glared at Cheng Xia, "Who told you to come out like that in the end, so you're happy to make your grandparents unhappy, right?"

"Are they willing to care about my business?" Cheng Xia thought it was funny, "If they are willing, they can order us to work for nothing and not give us food. If he is not happy, does he want to kill and set fire or dig a hole to bury me?"

Cheng Xia can somewhat see Zhang's living environment when she was a child. Her parents only cared about the youngest daughter and several sons. The eldest daughter of Zhang was used by them to earn dowry gifts, right?Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang is used to being bullied, and she feels that she can go to heaven when she gets a little praise from her parents, but who knows, in the eyes of others, she is nothing, no matter how much she does, she will not be a little better, and she will succeed for no reason. The free/free granary of her parents' family.

Cheng Shang saw that Mrs. Zhang was angry, so he took a rare tug, "Mother, you have also seen the attitude of grandfather and a few aunts towards you and aunt, why have you been unable to figure it out? My sister was right this time. You see, my aunt didn't bring anything with her, so mother has to think carefully about how grandfather and a few aunts treat her and our family."

"Okay, don't talk about it," Mrs. Zhang waved her hand irritably, and gave Cheng Xia a hard look, "I'll embarrass me when I go out, and I won't take you there again next time."

"Oh," Cheng Xia laughed to death, "If Mother takes me there again next time, I promise to cripple Second Aunt's wrist, and if she sprays feces all over her mouth again, I don't mind shutting her mouth down."

"You!" Mrs. Zhang was almost pissed off by Cheng Xia, and this daughter was also stimulated by her own marriage back then, so she was so ruthless.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang walking forward angrily, Dahua and Cheng You pulled Cheng Xia from left to right, and Dahua said gratefully, "Little sister, you are so kind to me."

"It's okay," Cheng Xia smiled indifferently, "my sister-in-law is so kind to me, I won't make her feel better if anyone treats her badly. My sister-in-law will also be more aggressive in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, you can beat her back. If it's impossible, you Go and call me, let's go together."

Cheng You laughed again, "Second Sister, I adore you a little bit, you are so amazing."

"Alright," Cheng Xia lovingly patted Cheng You's head, "Little brother, remember, only when you become stronger can you protect the people around you. So don't be cowardly, no matter what mother says, you have to be careful with your temper." Keep it for a long time, don't blindly tolerate anyone, you know, many people have no bottom line, the better you treat her, she will automatically take it for granted, and when you treat her badly, she will resent If you fall in love with her, all the good things you did to her before will be wiped out."

Cheng Xia said, suddenly feeling a little emotional, seeing Cheng You staring at him with a confused face, Cheng Xia knew that Cheng You was still young after all, but he should know some truths, "Little brother, look at mother, you have already understood Now, no matter how much my mother has devoted her heart and soul to her grandfather's family, the aunts and grandfathers will not remember her goodness, and will make more progress on the contrary. Brother, you should know that everyone should have their own bottom line. If a person does not have a bottom line , that doesn’t even have the qualifications to ask others to give him the most basic respect. What each person will become in the future is determined by his own personality, or most of them. Don’t let your life be confined to this small mountain village , you are very smart, you can go out, the second sister believes in you."

"Second Sister," Cheng You suddenly looked at Cheng Xia firmly, "I believe what Second Sister said, I will be a person with a bottom line, and then make myself stronger, and I will definitely protect Second Sister in the future," Cheng said. On the right, Dahua looked at her expectantly, and quickly added another sentence with a smile, "And sister-in-law."

Dahua instantly burst into a smile.

Cheng Xia wanted to go back to Yang's house directly, but Mrs. Zhang didn't know what was going on, so she insisted on Cheng Xia's going home for dinner, and deliberately prepared a table of particularly good meals, taking out almost all the food and vegetables in the house, as if It's like venting the grievances I just received at my grandfather's house.

It's just that Mrs. Zhang carefully instructed them not to tell about the fact that grandpa passed away and grandma was tortured by her aunt, and deliberately wanted to hide it from old father Cheng.

After lunch, Dahua begged Cheng Xia to teach her how to embroider. How could Cheng Xia know how? Maybe Cheng Xia knew it before, but she is a layman, but she knows a lot about modern flower styles, so she searched hard and briefly sketched the patterns that can be used for embroidery. Come out, wait until the work is almost done, the sun is going to set outside.

Cheng Xia was still thinking about the loose soil in the forbidden area of ​​death, so she hurriedly said and left, and finally went into the forbidden area of ​​death to see, oh my god, didn't she see a ghost?
