C49 (2/2)
Old Madam Xu took the bag and was about to take it out to count, but she was stopped by Xu Wenyu. She could only shake it in her hand, and then, carefully put it away in her bosom.
Yu Zhaocai watched as old lady Xu Wenyu left, and frowned at Xu Sanlang who was at the side, ”So the two of you worked hard to earn some money from working in the restaurant, and gave it all to this old lady?”
Xu Sanlang lowered his head and did not say a word, but instead pouted and replied, ”Who says it isn't, it's just a group of vampires, a bunch of ingrate.”
Yu Zhaocai's eyes flashed a look of gloominess, ”Then why did you give the money to them?”
Cheng Xi let out a helpless sigh. Since this Yu Zhaocai had witnessed all these, Cheng Xi did not plan to hide it from him and replied, ”You don't know that old lady Xu Family is hard to deal with. If you don't give it to her, we won't be able to live a peaceful life.”
Yu Zhaocai mimicked how Cheng Xi usually rolled her eyes at him, and said, ”Could it be that once you give them the money, they will give you peace and quiet? If it wasn't for me today, what would they do? To raise an ingrate who he knew to be unacquainted with? Are you all stupid? ”
Cheng Xi rolled her eyes and went back, ”You already know that it's because of you that we managed to escape calamity today. If it weren't for you, Xu Sanlang's Fourth Uncle would have brought the people from the yamen, I wonder how he would have dealt with us. If he didn't give us the money, I wonder how he would have dealt with us.”
Thinking about how she would have to take care of them even if she gave them the money, Cheng Xi followed up speechlessly, ”Thinking about how this family is so annoying, avoiding them once is one time, forget it, there's no need to mention it anymore. Since the matter has been resolved, go busy yourself, we still need to return to the village.”
Yu Zhaocai asked doubtfully, ”Didn't Brother Xu say that he won't go back?”
Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang, and replied, ”I still need to go back if he doesn't want to, I still need to go back to visit my family.”
Yu Zhaocai worriedly asked, ”Your family can't be like this, right? Do you want me to go back with you? ”
Cheng Xi said, ”My family is different, there's no need for you to follow me, go busy yourself.”
Xu Sanlang saw that Cheng Xi did not even have a nose and eyes, and quickly explained, ”Didn't I say that because I don't want to go back to Xu Family, if you find out that I specially went back with you to your family, I'm afraid that your mother will cause trouble again, and after sending you off, I can just sneak back to your family, since they aren't in the village, so I don't know.”
Cheng Xi shot a glance at Xu Sanlang, and snorted: ”At least you're sensible.”
Yu Zhaocai saw that the two of them were sure that they were going back to the village, so he said, ”You two follow me back first, let my family's carriage take you back.”
Cheng Xi immediately shook his head, ”Forget it, letting your carriage send us there is too much of a show. If we go back to the village like this, who would not know about us? I'm afraid we won't be able to rest peacefully when that happens. ”
Yu Zhaocai said, ”You can even find an oxcart, right?”
Cheng Xi shook his head, ”It's still early, if we go to the city gate, we might be able to meet an ox cart. Go back and busy yourself with what you need to do, don't worry about us, thank you for today.”
Yu Zhaocai could only nod his head and reply, ”Alright, be careful on your way, if you need anything, just come find me, don't be polite with me.”
Xu Sanlang nodded silently, Cheng Xi laughed and replied, ”Don't worry, I won't be polite with you, let's go, goodbye.”
After that, Xu Sanlang took the things that the servants behind Yu Zhaocai bought for the members of the Cheng Xi family, and the two of them headed towards the city gate.
The two of them thought that they had solved the problem they had today, but they never thought that Xu Wenyu would bring Old Madam Xu, Xu Erlang and the others, who had just finished swimming through the streets, to wait for them at the city gate.
