Chapter 111 Is this the Xu Minghui she was thinking of???
Sang Zhixia's prediction of her own image was very accurate.
The next morning, she looked down at the strand of hair on the water's surface that she couldn't push down no matter what she did, and she was as silent as a mute stone sculpture.
This piece of hair that was cut off unwillingly is somewhat rebellious on the body.
All that stood up was Sang Zhixia's unspoken rebelliousness.
Xu Yu knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to complain. He spontaneously helped move the things that Aunt Xu wanted to take out to the mule cart that was scheduled to pick her up. He silently put a cloak made of fine fox fur on Sang Zhixia's shoulders.
"Be safe and don't get cold."
Sang Zhixia looked at him expressionlessly: "Do you believe I can shave your head when you get back?"
Shave off all the black hair on your head!
Xu Yu looked embarrassed: "Zhizhi, I made a mistake, I didn't..."
"Xia Xia, are you done packing?"
Aunt Xu hurriedly put her hat on and came out. Seeing Sang Zhixia's hair standing up, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong with your hair?"
Sangzhixia...
"hair?"
"What hair?"
Xu Wenxiu, who was a step late, squinted her eyes and took a closer look, gasping in surprise: "Xia Xia, why is there a piece of your hair broken off?"
Sangzhixia...
Seeing her unhappy expression, Xu Yu didn't dare to let anyone ask about it anymore. He quickly smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. You just accidentally burned a part of it."
"Second Aunt, this bag is for Second Uncle and Xu Minghui. Remember to take it down and don't mix it up when you get to the embroidery shop."
"Please be careful. I'm going to the village chief's house to help first."
He walked away hurriedly after he finished speaking. Sang Zhixia gritted her teeth, forced a smile and said, "That's right, I just got burned by the fire accidentally."
"Mother-in-law, Second Aunt and I are going out first. I'll leave the housework to you and Third Aunt."
Xu Wenxiu hadn't recovered from Xu Yu's obvious guilty conscience. She was stunned for a moment before quickly nodding, "Okay, okay, it's cold and windy here, so remember to wear your cloaks and hats when you're in the car. Don't get caught in the wind on the road."
"Come back early after you finish your work. We will prepare dinner at home."
On the way into the city, Aunt Xu tried to hold back, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Sang Zhixia's standing hair.
The strand of hair was broken in a very tricky way, right on the corner of the forehead, just above the brow. It stood up rebelliously, even the hat couldn't hold it down, like a standing cat's tail, each strand clearly telling of the anger that could not be told to others.
Sang Zhixia found it really funny to be stared at. She gathered her warm cloak around her and said helplessly, "Second Aunt, am I really ridiculous like this?"
Second Aunt Xu shook her head insincerely: "How could that be possible?"
"You are so handsome that even if you shave your head it won't affect your beauty."
It just looks so funny, it's hard not to take a closer look.
Sang Zhixia laughed out loud at her reaction, but when she thought of Xu Yu's guilty look the whole night, she groaned in pain.
This bastard deserves it.
If I had known earlier, I should have shaved his eyebrows while he was sleeping!
It also saved her from being the only one being stared at today...
Sang Zhixia staggered into the county town with a lot of resentment in her heart. As agreed, she first accompanied Aunt Xu to the embroidery shop.
They had been working in the embroidery shop for two months and were familiar with the whole process. After they had completed the delivery, inspection and settlement of all the materials, Aunt Xu signed her name seriously on the account book that the boss brought out.
She took the wages from the boss with a lot of regret in her eyes. As she and Sang Zhixia took the things and walked out of the embroidery shop, she said self-deprecatingly, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but before I took this job, I hadn't written my own name for a long time. The first time I wrote, my hand was not smooth and I almost made a fool of myself."
Ever since she married into the Xu family, everyone inside and outside the family called her the Second Madam of the Xu family, as if she had nothing else to call herself except the title of Second Madam Xu.
But with the passage of time, who would have thought that she would still have the time to seriously introduce herself to others by her name.
Sang Zhixia took a deep breath of the cold air that entered her nose and said with a smile, "Isn't this good?"
"Being a wife and a mother doesn't prevent you from being yourself."
It is natural for people to live for themselves.
Facts have proved that women can live without relying on anyone.
Second Aunt Xu sighed and smiled, speechless. Sang Zhixia looked around and said, "Second Aunt, we have a lot of things to buy today. If we run back and forth together, I'm afraid we'll delay our return."
"How about this? Let's find someone to go to the gambling house and call Minghui out. You can find a chance to talk to him while I go to the grain store up ahead to see if there's any suitable grain."
She was just making an excuse.
After all, Xu Minghui has not returned home since he left home. In order not to delay his work, Aunt Xu Er doesn't want to disturb him all the time when she goes to the city. It is not easy for the mother and son to see each other.
The mother and son have something private to say, why is she standing there watching?
Aunt Xu was grateful for her thoughtfulness and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Isn't this unsafe?"
"This is your first time alone, what if..."
"How can there be so many what-ifs?"
Sang Zhixia said with a smile, "Besides, we won't be separated for long. I'm going to buy some things and will be back to meet you in half an hour at most."
"Let's go. I'll go with you to find someone called Xu Minghui."
As for Second Uncle Xu...
Forget it. No one cares about him except the old lady who feels sorry for her son but cannot go out.
Xu Yu's words of advice were still fresh in his mind, and Sang Zhixia also knew what was important.
A place where crazy people gather is indeed not suitable for them to set foot in.
They stopped half a block away from the gambling house and sat down at a tea stall on the street. Sang Zhixia gave the little beggar two copper coins.
The little beggar who got the copper coin ran very fast and rushed into the door of the gambling house at the end of the street.
"Second Aunt, then you sit here and wait. I'll go over first."
Aunt Xu handed her the silver she had in her pocket and said, "I brought a lot with me today. Add this to the wages I just received and you can spend it as you wish."
"Okay, see you later."
Sang Zhixia grabbed the backpack and walked happily, and her back soon disappeared from Aunt Xu's sight.
Aunt Xu waited until she walked away, then turned her head and looked at the blurry gate of the gambling house from afar. Thinking of Xu Minghui who was trapped in the quagmire for her, the fingers on her knees suddenly curled up.
But while she was anxiously waiting, Xu Minghui, who was supposed to come out soon, was nowhere to be seen...
At the same time, Sang Zhixia looked at several figures rushing into the dark alley, one after another, and his eyebrows jumped violently.
"Or I should find some time to go to a Bodhisattva temple and worship..."
It's so rare to encounter something like this when I go out. If this isn't bad luck, what is it?!
Feeling very unlucky, Sang Zhixia curled his lips, subconsciously touched the dagger on his waist, and without thinking, he decisively ran in the opposite direction.
She was just a weak woman who was powerless but had a dagger on her waist.
Brutal things like fighting and killing are not suitable for her.
She should find a quiet place to protect herself.
But just as she decided to turn around and leave, a painful groan from the alley hit her eardrums, followed by a man's angry roar: "Xu Minghui! Aren't you a good runner?!"
"Let's see where you can run this time!"
Sang Zhixia raised her foot and suddenly turned in the air. When she looked back, her eyes were trembling with surprise.
Xu Minghui???
Is this the Xu Minghui she was thinking of???
