The Pretty Peasant Wife

"Sigh!" Cheng Xi lied on the hard brick bed, enduring the pain on her forehead as she stared at the thatched roof with wide eyes and sighed who knows how many times.

The farce in the morning had ended with the arrival of the village chief, and because of the doctor's diagnosis, Cheng Xi had turned into a silly girl. The reason for her foolishness was all because of the Xu Family, which had once again been carried back to the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest.

Cheng Xi had originally thought that this grandmother of her was a little too heartless, that Xu Family would actually treat her in such a manner, and even let her return to the Xu Family. Later on, she realized that Xu Family also had its difficulties, and of course there would also be people who didn't like her.

Through that handsome Second Brother, Cheng Xi understood that this original father, Cheng Dagui, had actually broken a leg after falling off the cliff using firewood. In order to treat Cheng Dagui's legs, Cheng Xi's grandmother and the few wives at home arranged for Cheng Xi to receive a silver tael as a gift and place it in his Xu Family. As for that silver tael, once the Cheng Family was obtained, she immediately spent it on Cheng Dagui and gave him the medicine.

After looking for the village's deity rod that could jump spirits, he found out that it might be useful to please them. Most of the villagers knew about the fierceness of the old lady Xu Family and the few sister-in-laws of the Xu family, and the news that the old god stick had randomly revealed while speaking nonsense and getting drunk, which family would still be willing to marry their daughter to Xu Family?

Only, he did not expect that when his new wife had just entered the room, not only did Old Master Xu's body not get better, he had already breathed his last in the afternoon. The originally joyous event had turned into a funeral, as for why his original body had crashed into the coffin, other than the original body, no one else knew.

"Evil old society." Cheng Xi muttered to herself. She actually wanted to leave the Xu Family, and it would be best if she could return there. Although there was a powerful old lady, at the very least, there was still a Second Brother who cared about her and her little brother.

Cheng Xi continued to hold on to the handsome Second Brother in a daze, but hearing the fierce old granny coming over to persuade him sincerely, "Xi, if you are sent back to the Cheng Family like this, your reputation will be ruined, who would dare marry you in the future? You went back to Xu Family, although Xu Family that old pious scoundrel is a little fierce, he's still an old fool, and won't live for more than a few years. You're still young, and will live a good life with Xu Family Two, you'll get better sooner or later. Moreover, if your reputation is ruined, then even this daughter of Cheng Family will not be able to marry anymore. "

The handsome Second Brother had a pained expression as he grabbed her hand and comforted her softly, "Second Brother will visit you often."

Until the handsome Second Brother bent down and whispered something into Cheng Xi's ear, only then did Cheng Xi obediently let go of her hand, and in the end, left with him.

Waiting for Cheng Xi to be carried back to the Xu Family once again, but this time, this second son of the Xu Family was actually causing trouble, he insisted on not marrying a fool, and that old lady of the Xu Family was actually agreeing with a gloomy face, with a wave of her hand, she was sent to Xu Sanlang's room. After that, Cheng Xi was carried out of the Xu Family courtyard, and into the shabby thatched cottage.

Other than a kang and a broken table, there was nothing else in the room. Besides, this simple thatched roof must have leaked water from the rain, right?

~ This is Xu Sanlang's house? It seemed that Xu Sanlang was not fond of his Xu Family in general, and threw the foolish wife that Xu Erlang did not want to live in to him. The house he lived in was actually not in the Xu Family courtyard, it was even such a shabby thatched hut.

Cheng Xi had already been lying on the bed for a long time, looking at the light emitted from the two small cracks in the wall. Cheng Xi's stomach growled as she starved. The house was empty, and there was nothing inside. Cheng Xi considered whether or not she should go to Xu Family to find something to eat. But thinking about the fierce old lady, Cheng Xi started to retreat.

While Cheng Xi was in constant hesitation, the sky gradually darkened and the house became pitch black. From time to time, a cry or two could be heard from outside, and in the quiet night, it was extremely frightening, causing Cheng Xi's hair to stand on end.

Enduring the stench of perspiring sweat that came from the tattered blanket, Cheng Xi buried herself in the blanket, completely isolating herself from the outside air. Only until the door opened did she hear a sound.

Cheng Xi carefully poked her head out of the blanket, and a dim yellow light shone from the door. Cheng Xi blinked, and after getting used to the light, she started to size up the person, a young woman who was about twenty years old, pushed the door open with an oil lamp in her hand. This woman was the one who had cleaned him up the best, and her appearance was not bad.

Only then did Cheng Xi remember that the old man from the Xu Family had gone. No wonder she would hear her crying from time to time, it was probably because the Xu Family Main Hall was currently conducting a funeral, even the Xu Family Member was crying.

Cheng Xi was still looking at the woman, but she had already walked to the side of the bed, and seeing the little girl who was blankly staring at herself with her eyes wide open, she sighed and asked, "Xi, do you still know Aunt Faang?"

Cheng Xi shook her head. When the woman saw Cheng Xi shaking his head, she sighed once again before continuing, "I am your father's cousin, your Aunt Faang, and in the future, I will also be your Fourth Aunt's son. If you have any difficulties in Xu Family in the future, you can look for your Aunt Faang."

It seemed like this Aunt Faang was not bad, and in the future, maybe she would be able to rely on herself in this unfamiliar Xu Family. Thinking like this, it was rare for Cheng Xi to actually open her mouth and obediently call out, "Good, Aunt Faang."

Hearing Cheng Xi call others like that, Cheng Fang, who thought that she had become an idiot, revealed a surprised look on her face, but after that she nodded her head in satisfaction and sat on the side of Cheng Xi's bed, and replied: "Okay, Aunt brought you food, you quickly get up and eat it, do not let others find out, if people find out, Aunt will not be able to give you food anymore."

As she said that, Cheng Fang took out two items that looked like steamed buns from his sleeves. Cheng Xi was currently eating so hard that her chest was pressed against her back, and although she could not tell what the food was, but she had even taken it out from his sleeves.

Cheng Fang stood up, and did not forget to remind her once more, "Hurry up and eat, do not let anyone find out, I will be leaving first. After you finish eating, go to sleep early.

Seeing that Cheng Xi had agreed, Cheng Fang took the oil lamp and left. The thatched cottage once again sank into darkness.

Cheng Xi fumbled in the dark and picked up the steamed bun left behind by the woman, placed it by her mouth, taking a bite, dry and hard, when had she ever eaten such a horrible food before? But her stomach was so hungry, no matter how hard she tried, she had to eat it no matter what.

Cheng Xi then comforted herself in his heart, at least I am still alive right now, and have battled against the illness for many years. I understand the value of life, and that my heart is strong enough, in the end, I did not let the tears in my eyes fall, in my heart, I encouraged myself mentally. To be able to have my life again, that is a blessing from the heavens.

Maybe because of her head injury, but when Cheng Xi woke up again, the sky was already bright outside, and his head was still aching slightly. Cheng Xi sat up while enduring the pain in his head, and then heard the little old granny's voice from outside, "What kind of evil did my Xu Family create, why did I bring in another unlucky star? Look at the grass on the ground, there are already people here, and you lazy thing, you don't even know how to pull everything clean. "AHH!" How unlucky! "It really is a lost star. They're surrounded by bugs. If you don't finish your work, don't even think about eating tonight. Did you hear that?

Cheng Xi sat on the bed, listening to the sound of cursing as she walked further and further away. She reached out her hands to support her forehead and sighed.

Jiyaaa! The door was suddenly pushed open, and Cheng Xi raised her head to look at the door, the piercing light made Cheng Xi uncomfortable and block her eyes, only when she was a little better did she look at the person who entered the door, it was a tall and big young man, with deep facial features, sharp edges, and tanned skin.

Cheng Xi unconsciously compared herself to the Second Brother she met yesterday. This young man did not look as gentle and refined as the Second Brother, but she looked a little masculine, actually somewhat like a man. However, the clothes she wore were truly shabby, and after patching them up, other than being cleaner than beggars clothes, they were not much different.

Cheng Xi guessed that this young man should be Xu Sanlang. Compared to the who was making a ruckus yesterday, he looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"If you want food, get up and work." Xu Sanlang's cold voice came out.

Hearing that there was only food after work, Cheng Xi, who had only eaten two steamed buns and drank a pot of cold water yesterday, instantly felt even hungrier.

Cheng Xi looked at the teenager pitifully with wide eyes, hoping to gain the youth's sympathy. She opened her mouth and whispered, "Um, aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Xu Sanlang had also heard the voice coming from Cheng Xi's stomach. At the same time, Xu Sanlang himself had not expected that when he saw the pitiful look in the little girl's big eyes, he would actually find his hidden jerky and hand it over to the little girl. The little girl was so excited that she quickly caught it, and by the time he had reacted and wanted to go back on his words, it was already too late.

At first, Cheng Xi saw that Xu Sanlang had completely ignored him and went to rummage through the broken cabinet behind the bed without saying a word. He originally had his lips pouted in displeasure, and was even scheming on how to make the young man soften his heart and give him something to eat, or if that was not possible, he would go find the Aunt Faang from yesterday. However, before he could think of a way, a piece of dried and cooked meat appeared in front of him, and it was even emitting the smell of cooked meat.

Cheng Xi understood in hshe heart, what was this man trying to find? She was actually looking for food for herself. Looking at her cold expression, he thought that she was going to ignore him.

"Thank you." Cheng Xi's face was full of happiness as she thanked her. Then, she began to nibble on the jerky in her hands, maybe because she was hungry, but such ordinary jerky was exceptionally delicious in her mouth, and her face was also smiling with satisfaction.

Xu Sanlang looked at the little girl in front of him as he ate his last piece of storage with a face full of smiles.
