peasant young lady

Chapter 237
It was only when I went out that I felt that the weather outside was a bit bad. It was foggy, a gust of cold wind was blowing, and at the same time as the leaves rustled and fell, Cheng Xia couldn't help shivering.

The autumn wind blows away the old courts, and the yellow leaves and red maple pass by; a little Zen lamp and half a moon, tonight is colder than last night.

Before she realized it, autumn came to her powerfully and fiercely, but she didn't have time to feel the differences brought about by this autumn, because there were always people who affected her mood.

Cheng Xia took a cool look at Gu Shi, who was baring her teeth and claws, and asked helplessly, "Grandma, the weather is not good early in the morning, why don't you sleep well and go up the mountain?"

"You're still talking about it, you stinky girl!" Seeing Cheng Xia's appearance of having nothing to do with her, Mrs. Gu became annoyed, and stepped forward to pinch Cheng Xia's ears.

Cheng Xia managed to dodge, and looked at Gu Shi with a funny face, "Grandma, you can't beat me and I'm not as strong as me, so don't do this kind of thing that may embarrass yourself in the end. If you have something to say, I'll go back to sleep if it's nothing to do. "Cheng Xia yawned uncontrollably, she hasn't slept enough yet.

"Let me ask you, where did you get Xiu'e? Did you hide her?" Gu said angrily.

Cheng Xia looked at Gu with an innocent face, "Grandma, is Xiu'e missing? Didn't it mean that she will become my new sister-in-law soon? Shouldn't she be happy at home and wait for the wedding?"

"You don't pretend to be innocent. I think you are the one who encouraged her. She was so obedient before, how could she leave without saying a word? Moreover, she even took away my little money. If it weren't for you Teach her, can she do such a thing?" Gu clapped his hands angrily, and kicked the door panel vigorously with his feet, wishing to vent all his anger on it.

Xiu'e even stole Gu's private money?Cheng Xia chuckled, fearing that her laughter would be too obvious, she coughed lightly to cover it up, "Grandma, it's really not something you can do to find me here when Xiu'e is gone."

Gu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"Grandma, I think it's not a matter of a day or two that Xiu'e is not pleasing to the eye. The current situation in our house is no different from that of a fire pit. I just want to make Xiu'e have a bad life, so I have to let her stay in our house." Stay on."

Mrs. Gu seemed to make some sense. She was about to nod her head, but realized something was wrong. "Stinky girl, why are you beating me around? When did our house become a pit of fire?"

Cheng Xia suppressed a smile, "Grandma, I'm analyzing with you that Xiu'e's departure has nothing to do with me, isn't it? You see, I supported my sister-in-law's departure yesterday. Isn't it just to fulfill grandma's plan all along? But Xiu'e Leaving at this juncture, it's really shameful, I really failed my grandma's painstaking efforts."

Cheng Xia saw that Gu's face was becoming more and more ugly, so she couldn't help but snapped her fingers and said seriously, "But grandma is a little ignorant. Before, grandma liked my second aunt and despised my mother, but now, second aunt shuts the door tightly. , I was afraid that grandma would go in one step; later, grandma valued my uncle, and this uncle, who had a daughter-in-law and forgot about his mother, didn't care how far the town was from our village, so he just let grandma walk back and follow my parents; Recently, grandma put all her hopes on Xiu'e, hoping to use Xiu'e to squeeze out my sister-in-law's position. Fortunately, this family is more prosperous than wind and rain. However, Xiu'e is not only not grateful to grandma for taking her in, It also took all your money away, which is a bit wolf-hearted. I think grandma probably has bad eyesight and always sees things wrongly. If grandma is willing, next time I will let the shopkeeper come to show grandma."

Gu made Cheng Xia's old face blush, "I just asked you if you knew Xiu'e was gone, what are you talking about?"

"In order for grandma to recognize the reality." Cheng Xia suddenly sternly said, "Grandma, let me remind you, one must be content and don't be too greedy, otherwise the only one who can't eat and walk around in the end will be yourself."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Gu was about to die of anger. When she got up early in the morning, she found that the handkerchief hidden in the corner of the kang was missing. There were only fifty copper coins in the handkerchief. She had to read it dozens of times every day. , it turned out to be missing.

She immediately went to find Xiu'e, and asked Xiu'e to look for it with her, but found that Xiu'e was gone, and her room was empty, Gu immediately felt something was wrong.After waking up Father Cheng, Cheng Zuo and Cheng You, and questioning them one by one, it was finally determined that Xiu'e followed Cheng Shang's example and swept away the things.

"You still have the face to teach me a lesson here," Gu jumped angrily, "If your elder sister didn't do such a scandalous thing, would there be so many things happening in our family?"

"Grandma, what you said is wrong." Cheng Xia looked at Gu Shi who had clearly put aside her responsibility, and couldn't help but reminded, "If you want to talk about the root cause, all of this comes from grandma's past years. I ran away everything and went to the town with my uncle. To say that my eldest sister is immoral, grandma is the one who started it."

"You are presumptuous!" Gu Shi wanted to wave Cheng Xia's face angrily.

Cheng Xia grabbed Gu's strong wrist, "What's wrong with me being presumptuous? What others do is immoral, but grandma's doing it will be passed down through the ages?"

"Well, that was all how many years ago." Mrs. Gu pulled out her hand abruptly, humming unceremoniously.

Cheng Xia sneered, "Can't you mention it after a long time? This man, if you do something unconscionable, don't be afraid of being exposed. Xiu'e is gone, grandma should reflect on herself, come to me This is the wrong place." Cheng Xia adjusted the corners of her clothes, looked back at Yang Dalang dressing Xiaolong, and couldn't help but smile relaxedly, "Okay, I should go to Cheng's house to take care of my mother."

Walking two steps away, she found that Mrs. Gu was in a daze and didn't come back to her senses. Cheng Xia immediately curled her lips, "Grandma, are you sure you will continue to be in a daze at the door of my house?"

Mrs. Gu suddenly came back to her senses, and glared at Cheng Xia who was smiling like a flower. The brighter she smiled, the more Mrs. Gu wanted to tear her face off, "You little bitch, wait for me, you will cry sooner or later." That day."

The corners of Cheng Xia's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't take it to heart at all, but he never thought that Gu's words really became reality.

She asked Xiu'e to leave just to let Gu's bamboo basket fetch water in vain.Let her plan painstakingly, let her do whatever she can, Cheng Xia will make all of these come to naught.She didn't believe it. Given the current situation of the Cheng family, there was no other girl who would dare to marry in.

Mrs. Gu followed Cheng Xia down the mountain, but when she reached the gate of Cheng Xia's house, Cheng Xia looked back and saw that Mrs. Gu was nowhere to be seen.Cheng Xia couldn't help being a little dazed, she didn't know when the old lady disappeared while walking.

As soon as he entered Cheng's courtyard, the light rain began to patter down. This autumn rain followed by cold, oh my god, it's really getting colder.

I really want to go to Beijing to see the first snow in the Forbidden City, but she can't go yet.

Cheng Xia rubbed her hands, breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the house, and saw Father Cheng sitting on a chair facing the door, smoking a pipe, taking a puff and sighing, his brows were raised high, and his eyes were full of loneliness and desolation .

Cheng Xia politely called Dad, then went into the back room to see Mrs. Zhang.She made an agreement with Cheng You that she would come to Cheng's house to take care of her mother during the day, and Cheng You would go to Zhushe and Xiaolong to learn kung fu with Yang Dalang, and let Yang Dalang teach them some simple words by the way, Cheng You, it's time to go to school , It is always good to learn more.

Cheng You was feeding Mrs. Zhang to drink water at the moment, and was very careful not to spill and wet Mrs. Zhang's clothes.

Cheng Xia smiled, and naturally took the bowl in Cheng's right hand, and patted his head by the way, "Go and learn Kung Fu from your brother-in-law, let him cook for you at noon, and I'll go back at night."

The joy in Cheng's right eye was obvious, but he nodded restrainedly before running out.

Cheng Xia heard Father Cheng calling Cheng You outside and asking him what he was doing, Cheng You answered them one by one, and there was another long silence outside.After a long time, Cheng Xia heard Cheng's father taking a few puffs of dry cigarette in the back room, hummed in a muffled voice, and let Cheng You go.

Cheng Xia, who was wiping Zhang's handkerchief, grinned. It seemed that Father Cheng was a little different, at least not as pedantic as before.

Cheng Xia went out and asked Father Cheng if he had breakfast. Seeing him shaking his head, he went to the kitchen to cook porridge and made two small dishes in front of her. He brought the porridge to feed Mrs. Zhang.At least let her eat some, and then go to boil the medicine.Mrs. Zhang's complexion is not as ugly as before, the medicine from the shopkeeper is effective after all.

After taking good care of Mrs. Zhang, Cheng Xia went out and sat across from Father Cheng who had finished eating, "Father, why didn't you see my elder brother?"

"Hey," Father Cheng sighed first, "Your grandma told him to go find Xiu'e."

Cheng Xia pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and sneered, then raised her head again, "It seems that elder brother is quite interested in Xiu'e."

"Otherwise, what can we do? Dahua has already left, and without Xiu'e, your elder brother really won't be able to marry a wife, and our old Cheng family will soon die."

Cheng Xia didn't want to continue this topic, she smiled and poured a glass of water for Father Cheng, "Father, the mother of my brother and sister Lin Xiu came to the mountain a while ago, we had a conversation, someone from their village is working in a brick kiln in the town," Cheng said. Seeing that Father Cheng looked at him in confusion, Xia pointed to the east direction, "Isn't my uncle in town?"

At the mention of Uncle, Father Cheng's face suddenly turned down, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were crowded together, "Why do you mention him so well?"

Cheng Xia was immediately amused when he heard Father Cheng's obviously angry tone. It seems that clay figurines are also temperamental, as long as you can hit his point.

"That's the kind of father, Lin Xiuniang said, my grandma once asked people from their village to deliver something to my uncle when they went to the town. They didn't mention what it was, they only said that it sounded like copper coins, and said that the old lady Abandoned by my own son, I still feel reluctant to give money to other people. What Lin Xiuniang meant was for me to ask my father if he knew. She said that my father must know. Grandma lives in our house now, food and clothing The speed is all given by father, grandma is so kind to uncle Ji, if parents don't know, it will be unreasonable."

Cheng Xia's tone should be as true and sincere as possible, and as sincere as possible, she raised her eyes to see Father Cheng's face turned from bruises to bruises, her fists were tightly clenched, and finally she glared at Cheng Xia bitterly. Xia glanced at it, said nothing, got up and left angrily,

Cheng Xia stood at the door and took a look. Seeing that Father Cheng ignored the rain and walked forward with his head sullen, he couldn't help but sneered. She did it on purpose. She wanted to make Gu's plans come to naught by being foolish and filial to her all the time. Cheng Xia also had the confidence to change his mind a little bit.

He turned around and went back to the inner room, but just as he sat down, he heard a playful chuckle from outside, "Let me see if Mrs. Zhang is dead."
