Chapter 6 Auntie Comes to Make Trouble
He was about to leave after saying that, but Chang Xixi took advantage of the situation and pursued him with even more momentum, "If you know you're being unreasonable, then get out of here! A good dog doesn't block the road, only mad dogs bite people."
Uncle Pang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"You, you."
Miss Pang's face had already turned red with shame. She looked at Gu Rongyu apologetically, as if she was forced to come here, and then she pulled Uncle Pang away in disgrace.
The silence lasted only a moment. Chang Xixi saw that the egg noodles in Gu Rongyu's hand had clumped together, and she felt unhappy.
Her mother was reluctant to eat it, but she gave it to this person. Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart, thinking that she was really a saintly person.
Gu Rongyu's nostrils had long been invaded by the smell of chopped green onions and eggs. He frowned and spoke slowly and softly, slowing down his speech speed, sounding strangely cold.
"Miss, we have only met once. I am poor and have been suffering from illness for many years. I really cannot afford to spend this kind of money."
Chang Xixi started to think about this after hearing this. She really couldn't marry her benefactor.
"What I said just now was to help you out. If I hadn't said that, Uncle Pang would never let it go. This kind of villain is very powerful. I just want to stand up for you. I can't stand those villains bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
After walking a few steps, Chang Xixi turned back and said, "Eat the noodles. Don't leave any."
After saying this, she returned the same way in the morning dew.
This matter had already spread to the family. Chang Xixi walked through the dew-covered path and saw a relative of the Pang family standing by the door. He was chatting with Dou, but was interrupted halfway through his conversation.
"mother."
Dou looked up and saw Chang Xixi coming back. She didn't ask her where she had been. She just thought she went out for a walk. She nodded and asked her to eat the food on the table.
Chang Xixi walked in and looked at the noodles in the rough bowl on the table. She remembered that the rice jar at home had been empty for a long time, and this bowl of noodles might be the last food for the family.
Just as she was thinking, her second brother's cough brought her back to her senses.
Carrying water into the house, my second brother was covered with a thin quilt with holes in it, revealing the cotton wool. His cheeks were flushed from coughing, and he lowered his voice with a trembling voice, trying hard to suppress the itch in his throat.
"Why are you here?"
"Brother, drink some water."
Chang Xixi handed the water in her hand to her second brother. Before entering the house, she added a few drops of spiritual spring water to the water, hoping that her second brother's illness would recover soon.
The second brother took a look at the water handed to him and felt that it was like a pool of sweet spring water, which seemed to be able to relieve the itch in his throat.
I took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and immediately felt refreshed all over.
After Dou sent the Pang family away, she went to borrow some rice from her neighbor and came back with only a small winnowing basket in her hand. She happened to bump into Chang Xixi who was going out.
"Mom, I see the rice jar is almost empty. What's wrong with you?"
Chang Xixi's gaze fell on Dou's hand.
Dou's face flashed with embarrassment. The family had long been struggling to make ends meet, so how could they afford to buy rice? They had no choice but to borrow from their neighbors, but they were afraid they wouldn't be able to pay back the money they borrowed!
Dou didn't want Chang Xixi to know that her family was in financial difficulty.
Chang Xixi took out a pearl from the space without hesitation and asked Dou to exchange it for rice.
Dou knew that this was all Chang Xixi's private money and she shouldn't use it. She refused once, but when she saw that Chang Xixi had no intention of taking it back, she rented an ox cart and went to the city.
As soon as Dou arrived in the city, she met a widow from the same village.
Pulling Dou aside, he insisted on talking about family matters. "I heard that your third son is getting married to the scholar from the Gu family? Everyone in our village knows about it. When is the wedding banquet?"
"marry?"
Dou frowned. Xixi hadn't told her about such a big thing. She was afraid that someone was exaggerating and ignored it.
In the afternoon, when I returned home, I miraculously saw that my second son, who had been disabled for many years, could sit on a stool and peel corn. I was so excited that tears filled my eyes.
Chang Xixi poked her head out from the kitchen and asked, "Mom, are you back?"
Before the two of them could count the things they bought, uninvited guests came into the yard.
Doushi walked forward and greeted, "Second brother, why are you here?"
Second brother?
Chang Xixi stuck her head out again. This man looked somewhat similar to her second brother, but was much older than him.
According to the original owner's memory, this was his father's younger brother, who opened a small silk shop in the city and had a very good business. He looked down on his older brother, who was born from the same mother.
I'm afraid he came here today to cause trouble.
"Sister-in-law, your family has become rich, but you didn't even inform me, your younger brother. I'm afraid you look down on people like us just because you're rich."
The second brother took a look at the muddy ground covered with chicken shit with disdain, found a clean place to stand, and glanced at his second brother with disgust in his eyes.
A woman in silk clothes came in, pinching her slender waist. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she covered her mouth with a silk scarf and asked, "Sister-in-law, how are you these days?"
Dou was busy bringing a stool out from the inner room. "Sister-in-law, please do it. My yard is dirty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you."
Chang Xixi complained in her heart, judging from the tone just now, he was here to ask for money?
She smiled and brought out a basin of peanuts freshly dug from the ground and walked up to her second uncle.
"Uncle, you see there's nothing to eat at home. These are the peanuts I just dug out. Mom has been reluctant to eat them..." Chang Xixi said it pitifully, and people would not feel pity for her when they saw it.
Second uncle looked down on these country food and did not take Chang Xixi seriously. He thought she was just a fake daughter returned by the Zhou family and had never seen how powerful the country bumpkins were.
Seeing the disgusted look on her second uncle's face, Chang Xixi curled her lips and handed the winnowing basket to her second aunt.
"Second Aunt, it's very fresh."
Second Aunt was used to eating snacks in the city, so how could she like these things? She ignored Chang Xixi as usual, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
