After a good sleep, Chu Xi woke up early the next day. After shaking off all the fatigue, Chu Xi felt that after a night in the space, even the fatigue from two months of running around was swept away.
Could it be that space also has the function of restoring spiritual power?
I got up early in the morning, packed up the little stones, and simply heated up some milk, bread, and egg custard for breakfast before starting to clean the house. After all, it had been two months. Although two clueless people had lived here for a while, it was impossible to expect them to clean the bathroom...
His mental power played a big role at this time. In addition to sweeping the yard, he swept all the rooms directly with his mental power, sweeping away all the dust and garbage like a tornado, compressing it directly into a ball of soil and throwing it into the backyard...
She looked around and bought some daily necessities for the house, firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. Anyway, there were too many of these things in the space, and it was estimated that she could use them for several lifetimes...
Bang, bang, bang...
"Open the door, open the door..."
"The third brother is really going too far! He actually hit an elder and even extorted money. He's really grown up! He even beat Xiu like that. He must give us an explanation today..."
Chu Xi scanned out with his mental power and found that it was the eldest son of the Shi family, Jiandang, and the second son of the Shi family, Jianjun, who came with their wives, looking ferocious.
What's this? Are they playing the role of filial sons? Or are they trying to get some advantage? This time, Old Man and Old Lady Shi were smarter and didn't personally take part...
But who gave them the courage?
Chu Xi did not stop cleaning the house. Anyway, she had not opened the door yet to see what they could do.
Let the bullets fly for a while...
At this time, more and more people came outside. It was the slack season, and there were not many entertainment activities in the countryside. Everyone would just watch for fun. So when they heard the noise, no one minding that Chu Xi's house was a little remote, and soon a lot of people gathered outside.
Looking at Little Stone playing obediently on the kang, Chu Xi arranged for Little Hui to stay in the room with him and went out. She wanted to see what these two brothers could do to her, their sister-in-law, since Shi Peng was not at home.
If he really behaves like those two old guys, then she wouldn't mind giving him a good beating...
The door creaked open, and the four people who had been yelling outside suddenly fell silent...
"Old Third, you did something so outrageous when he wasn't home. Perhaps today we, as his brother and sister-in-law, will have something to say about it."
The second brother Shi Jianjun was smarter and knew how to use public opinion to pressure others and stand on the moral high ground. He didn't expect the eldest brother Shi Jiandang to just cry there.
"That's right, you beat Xiuhe's mother yesterday, and she's still not allowed to go out. How can you be so cruel!"
Boss Shi is a stubborn person. I wonder who taught him these words.
"This is because they feel that now that the family has split up, they can make their own decisions and no longer care about their elders..."
"You eat and drink good food every day, but you don't even work in the fields. You just eat the little allowance your husband gives you. How can you be so shameless?"
What's wrong with these two sisters-in-law this time? Have they been brainwashed by Old Lady Shi, or was she promised some benefits? They're really bold today. Usually, they always stay out of things that don't concern them...
Chu Xi always watched your performance first, but she leaned against the door with a half-smile on her face, quietly watching them act out...
It had been a long time since she had seen such a good show. Chu Xi felt the urge to go get some sunflower seeds. If she didn't have a role in this show, she might have actually gone...
If I go, I'll feel a little sorry for the hard work of these supporting actors.
Not to mention, in the eyes of others, Chu Xi, who had just confronted Old Lady Shi yesterday and was quite popular in the village, just stood quietly at the door, with an imposing aura of one man blocking the way for ten thousand...
Outside the door, on a relatively empty patch of dirt ground, the villagers who had come to watch the fun had completely surrounded Chu Xi's house, blocking any access to the water. All they could see was a sea of heads, mixed with the sounds of children fighting and the chatter of voices...
Seeing Chu Xi standing there unmoved and silent, the eldest brother's wife couldn't stand it anymore and started to play the victim.
"Everyone heard yesterday, right? My sister-in-law and mother-in-law stayed at the third brother's house for a few days to help them look after the yard. But when the third brother's wife came back, she beat them up and even burned our Xiu's hair. If anything happens to her, wouldn't it ruin her life?"
"That's right. Moreover, this shameless young wife took advantage of her husband's absence and dared to extort money. She directly extorted three hundred yuan from our family. It's a pity that all our savings of the past few years were fed to this ungrateful person..."
The second son's wife and the eldest son's wife always refuse to be outdone, but this time they are united and face the outside world together.
But this also explains why they were making such a fuss so early in the morning. These three hundred yuan were like cutting off their precious flesh and blood!
Not only did the children have no money to go to school, but their living standards would also surely drop significantly. Furthermore, they didn't know when they would be able to buy the big things they wanted, especially since they had been planning to arrange a blind date for their eldest grandson from the Shi family...
Once the money is gone, all the plans will be in vain.
Chu Xi knew that these two shameless old men must have been "crying" out their troubles to the two couples. Since this matter concerned their own interests, they must have worked hard. Look, they came here so early in the morning...
However, she was also certain that Old Lady Shi had calculated everything and didn't even know that her "nest" had been destroyed. If she really found out, there would be a huge uproar...
"Have you had enough of the fuss? It's so early in the morning, as if I've bullied you."
Chu Xi's tone remained calm, making the brothers and sisters-in-law, whose throats were a little sore from shouting, feel like they had punched cotton...
"What are we arguing about? If you don't return the money to us today and don't give us an explanation for beating someone up, we'll send you to the commune and sue you for beating your mother-in-law. This is extremely unfilial!"
