The Pretty Peasant Wife

She had just woken up and it was cold outside. Cheng Xi did not bother to get up, she just sat under the blanket and asked Xu Lan who had entered the door: "Did you come over for something?"

Xu Lan first looked at Xu Sanlang who was standing at the side, then stammered, "I-I just came to see you."

Xu Sanlang reckoned that it was because it was hard for him to talk, so he wanted him to leave first. However, he was still worried about leaving Cheng Xi alone here with Xu Lan, afraid that Cheng Xi would suffer a loss.

Cheng Xi saw that Xu Lan looked like he had something to say, and thought that she was the sister of her only big brother who was good to Xu Sanlang, so in her heart, Cheng Xi was actually a little tolerant of her, and the expression on her face also became a lot gentler. She reached out and patted on the side of her bed, and said, "Come over and sit."

Xu Lan did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the side of the bed. She looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped and just looked up at Xu Sanlang from time to time.

Xu Sanlang saw that Xu Lan did not look like she was looking for trouble with Cheng Xi, and adding that he had also thought of Cheng Xi's fighting strength, even her most powerful grandmother was not a match for Cheng Xi. Even Xu Lan, the little girl, would not be able to do anything against Cheng Xi, so she was a lot more relieved, and said to Cheng Xi, "I'll go out to take a look." Then she turned and went out the door.

Cheng Xi had long noticed that Xu Lan wanted to say something, but since she was present, she was unable to do so. After Xu Sanlang left, Cheng Xi continued, "What do you want to say?

After Xu Lan confirmed her departure, she lowered his head and said softly with a flushed face, "I want to ask for your help."

Cheng Xi was actually very curious, what kind of help did this Xu Lan find him for, it couldn't be that she had connections with Yu Zhaocai, right? She thought for a bit, then opened her mouth and asked, "What kind of help?"

Sure enough, Xu Lan responded, "Can you introduce me to Young Master Yu?"

Cheng Xi frowned and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this matter."

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Lan looked up at him with reddened eyes, and said angrily: "Are you, are you thinking that I am not worthy enough to be a person like you, Young Master Yu?"

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Lan who seemed to have received a blow, and sighed, "I don't think so, but you and Young Master Yu are completely incapable of doing so. You have also seen the woman beside Young Master Yu that day, the one he liked is her, why did you still go up and find fault with yourself?"

After Xu Lan heard what Cheng Xi said, her eyes turning even redder, she said with a choked voice, "Mother told me, I know, but my father and Fourth Uncle discussed and decided to give me to the rich man as a concubine. If that's the case, I, I might as well go and be her concubine."

Cheng Xi was speechless when she heard this, she felt that this Xu Family Member was heartless and shameless, she had even more so looked down on this Xu Wenyu, to actually want to use her own daughter as a guide for her future.

I heard that the person Fourth Uncle found for me was already fifty to sixty years old. I don't want to marry an old man, and he was even a concubine to him, so Mother said that she had no other choice, and since Big Brother is gone, no one can help me anymore. "

He then looked at the current Xu Lan, and finally saw through the cruelty of reality. Sighing, he said with a hint of warning, "It's fine if you want me to help you, but all of those little schemes and schemes from the past, just put them away. There are some things that you can obtain through your own efforts, but don't you have to rely on scheming methods to obtain them? Even if you obtained them using scheming methods, are you certain that they will always belong to you? "It's not sweet to force yourself. There are some things that you don't have to force yourself to do. As long as you fix your position and put in some effort, what belongs to you will belong to you in the end."

Xu Lan sputtered, "But I'm just a woman, and I don't even know anything. What can I gain from that?"

With regards to this kind of feudal thought, Cheng Xi speechlessly rolled her eyes and corrected himself, "What's wrong with a woman? Women have hands, feet and brains, so why must they place their hopes on a man who has only one hand and one brain? "

Xu Lan was afraid that she had no other choice. Otherwise, she would not have asked Cheng Xi, whom she had never looked up to before, to come here. She nodded and replied, "As long as you help me leave the Xu Family, I will listen to you in the future.

Cheng Xi waved his hand, "That's not necessary, but it's best if you keep your little schemes for now. If you use them again, don't blame me for sending you back."

Seeing that Cheng Xi actually agreed to bring her out, Xu Lan said with an excited face, "Definitely not, as long as you can bring me out of here, I will listen to you."

Seeing Xu Lan's reaction, Cheng Xi nodded her head in satisfaction, and said, "Tell Xu Family Member, I promise to send you back to Yu Zhaocai's side. As for how to perform, I don't need to teach you, right?"

Xu Lan's face reddened slightly as she said excitedly, "I know what to do."

Cheng Xi hurriedly continued, "Don't even think about that. Saying that sending you to Yu Zhaocai's side is just an excuse to bring you away, have you forgotten what I just said?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Xu Lan's face, and in the end, she obediently nodded her head.

Cheng Xi waved her hand, "Let's go, we'll leave after the new year. You should pack up early, and tell your mother, we will visit your brother after the new year, and see if she has anything that she needs us to bring."

Xu Lan said excitedly, "I'll go right now."

Cheng Xi immediately warned, "Don't let anyone find out anything."

Only now did Xu Lan realize that she was just too excited, and quickly tidied up her expression before leaving the east wing. She ran into Xu Sanlang casually strolling in the courtyard, and Xu Lan's rare warm words of "Third Brother" surprised him, this cousin of hers had always had her nose towards him in the past, so why would she greet him? Now that she suddenly had such a friendly attitude towards him, it was truly her first time seeing him.

Xu Sanlang entered the room and shut the cold wind outside. He sat on the bedside and asked Cheng Xi who was still lying lazily on the bed and didn't want to move, "What did you say just now? Why do I feel that Xu Lan has changed? "

Cheng Xi also did not plan to hide it from Xu Sanlang, she pursed her lips and replied, "As expected of a family, your grandmother and a few uncles are all the same, to actually want to give Xu Lan to an old man as a concubine, it's fortunate that they thought of it."

Xu Sanlang also frowned when he heard it, thinking about the expression Xu Lan had when she left, her eyebrows knitted even tighter, "Xu Lan wouldn't be here to show off to you, right?"

Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at Xu Sanlang speechlessly, "If you, were to marry a seventy or eighty year old old old man as your concubine, would you be able to show off everywhere?"

Xu Sanlang muttered, "I'm not a woman."

Cheng Xi tsked and then continued, "Xu Lan came to ask me to help her leave the Xu Family. I saw that Xu Lan was not too bad, and before she reached such a hopeless situation, she had already agreed.

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang said in shock, "You want to take Xu Lan and leave? How is that possible? "

Cheng Xi replied, "Why is that impossible? Didn't Xu Family people want to let Xu Lan climb up high? I will give them a chance to climb high, I don't believe that they will refuse, as for whether or not I can climb up high, I have to change my mind."

Xu Sanlang was not stupid in the first place, it was just that he was inexperienced, had gone to a county city's restaurant, and had stayed with Cheng Xi for a long time, so he had become more quick-witted. After being mentioned by Cheng Xi, she understood the idea in Cheng Xi's mind, and did not say anything more.

The two of them did not want to face the people from Xu Family, so they decided to spend the afternoon in this house. Not long after, Old Madam Xu came over with Xu Sanlang's big uncle, Xu Wenqiang.

Even though Cheng Xi was unwilling, she had no choice but to get up and greet the two of them.

Waiting until she sat down by the table in the room, Old Madam Xu looked around and then said, "Why didn't you even bring some tea? "Eldest Brother, ask your wife to bring some tea and a brazier. How do we live in this room?"

Then, he turned to Cheng Xi and asked with concern, "Is the blanket thick enough? Would it be cold if it was covered? If you feel cold, I'll get someone to bring you new beds. "

Cheng Xi looked at the old lady who was initially at odds with him, and suddenly felt that it was really weird that she was so concerned for him. However, she still followed along and hypocritically dealt with it, not refusing to only answer, "Thank you grandma."

The Old Madam Xu laughed, "We are family, there is no need to be polite, if there is anything you need, please tell me as soon as possible."

Xu Wenqiang, who was at the side, was already impatient. After Old Madam Xu finished speaking, she started asking, "I heard my family's little girl say that you plan to send her to Young Master Yu, is that true?"

Cheng Xi nodded, seeing the reaction of the two in front of him, she couldn't help but look down on this person in her heart;

's following words allowed Cheng Xi to have a whole new level of understanding towards this person. Not only was she a villain, he was also someone who wasn't greedy enough, and she only heard Xu Wenqiang say, "Then when can Young Master Yu come and propose marriage?"

Cheng Xi said with a smile that was not a smile, "Is Uncle thinking too much? Who is the Young Master Yu? How can you propose to a sect like us? It's already good enough for you to keep Xu Lan by his side. "

However, she still tried her best to keep her tone calm as she said, "My Xu Family shouldn't be that bad. At least there's someone who's an official in my family who works in the county office."
