Chu Xi slowly walked to the front door. Seeing the lock still hanging on the door, she couldn't help but give her husband a thumbs up. He left early for the safety of the family. He must have climbed over the wall to leave. It was a good thing that he did that. Otherwise, the two guys outside would have rushed into the yard...
"Why are you knocking so early in the morning? You're disturbing my sleep!"
The sharp and impatient words made the two people outside shut up instantly. They had both experienced Chu Xi's power and ruthlessness, especially Shi Xiu, who had not fully recovered from his previous injuries.
But Shi Xiu rolled his eyes instantly on his pitiful face, and then looked up at the big sun that had already climbed over the mountain, muttering in his heart,
"I can sleep until noon, and I don't have to work. What a blessing..."
Shi Xiu, filled with jealousy and envy, only thought that since her third brother was still at home, she had to ask for something. In the past, every time he visited her, many of the things he brought back belonged to her, but this time he only showed up once and didn't give her anything. She couldn't sit still at home for a long time, and just after breakfast, he dragged his mother over...
"My dear wife, please open the door quickly. Where is my third son? Is he home?"
Old Mrs. Shi was already getting impatient, but thinking that she still had something to ask of her youngest son, she could only speak kindly, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
Chu Xi still opened the door slowly. Looking at the two heads with greasy and messy hair that began to peek into the yard, she frowned instantly and quickly took a step back, but did not let go of the door.
"Come on, what's going on? Hurry up and do it, or I'll close the door!"
"Where's the third brother? Let him come out. We won't look for you! You've been here for over two days and you didn't even bother to check on your mother. If this gets out, it would be extremely unfilial!"
Chu Xi's heart tightened when she heard this. She didn't want her man to be known as an unfilial person!
"Old lady, you have to think carefully. We have divided the family property, and Captain Kong is our witness. Don't say anything careless, or you will suffer retribution!"
Old Lady Shi was frightened when she heard Chu Xi's sarcastic words. She had suffered several losses at the hands of Chu Xi and was a little hesitant to confront him directly.
"We just want to see the third brother. Can he just ignore what's going on at home?"
"That's right. Third brother used to love me the most. Whenever he came back, he would give me the best food! I want to see Third brother! I want to see Third brother."
Chu Xi was too lazy to listen to their chatter and spoke directly.
"He has left overnight, you can go back now!"
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he closed the door!
But Mrs. Shi was not a pushover. She did not believe the one-sided words of this "jinx". She reached out her hand swiftly and without showing any signs of old age, and pushed the door hard, still shouting loudly towards the yard,
"Third brother, third brother, come out, we want to see you!"
"Third brother, third brother, everyone at home misses you. You came back this time, but you didn't even come home to talk to me properly!"
The words were very nice, but in her heart she was thinking that her eldest grandson was about to start looking for money and things, and the family was really struggling to make ends meet. The third son must have some money saved up, so she would definitely extort a lot from him when she came back this time...
"Third brother, third brother, I miss you so much. It's been two days since you came back, and you didn't come to see me?"
Shi Xiu's next words made Chu Xi feel like vomiting. The fake tone of the words gave her goose bumps...
Chu Xi rolled his eyes and quickly let go, dodging the two people who were pushing the door hard together, and they both fell to the ground.
He got in, but he ended up falling flat on his face!
"Alright, alright, stop crying like a funeral so early in the morning. Your eldest son and third brother are indeed gone. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. Just don't wake up Little Stone."
Chu Xi no longer paid any attention to the two greedy guys after she finished speaking, and turned back to the house. She couldn't cook yet, or else this guy who often had red eyes would see her, and who knew what would happen...
He turned around gracefully, leaving behind two women covered in dirt, staring at each other in bewilderment. It looked like the third brother had really left, otherwise he would have made something up. He wasn't the type to turn a blind eye...
