Chapter 142 Can he coax people?
Sang Zhixia was obviously in a bad mood these past two days. Her expression didn't look much different from usual. She didn't delay the things she was supposed to do, but she spent more time sitting alone in silence and didn't say anything.
She also seemed unwilling to meet Xu Yu.
This subtle atmosphere was not only noticed by Xu Wenxiu and others, but even Xu Mingyang, who was more cunning than a water tank, realized that something was wrong.
That day, Sang Zhixia was out. Xu Mingyang, with a twisted face, leaned close to Xu Yu and whispered in dissatisfaction, "Brother, did you make your sister-in-law angry?"
Before Xu Yu could say anything, he angrily said, "Brother, you are a man. How can you bully your sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law has been working so hard! You can't make her unhappy again!"
Although Xu Yanran, who was forcibly pulled over by Xu Mingyang to give herself courage, did not dare to express her feelings directly, the disapproval on her face clearly conveyed this meaning.
My sister-in-law is gentle, beautiful, and can cook so many delicious dishes. She is capable, strong, and protective of her children. How can you be so ignorant?
Why are you provoking her for no reason?
Xu Mingxu and Xu Jinxi held hands and looked up at him, their black and white eyes filled with silent condemnation.
Xu Jinxi said, "Big brother is bad."
Xu Yu, who turned bad for no reason: "..."
He pursed his lips, his tone complicated: "I didn't bully her."
Xu Mingyang stamped his feet in frustration. "Who else could it be but you? We've all reflected on this together. It must have been you who caused this!"
"I……"
"Brother, don't run away if you do something wrong."
Xu Yanran frowned and said earnestly, "Isn't this what you taught us?"
"Be brave, muster up the courage to apologize to your sister-in-law and seek her forgiveness. Otherwise, as a man, what responsibility do you have?"
Xu Mingxu said seriously, "I don't have any responsibility."
Xu Jinxi interjected incoherently, "Not brave."
Xu Yu's already confused mind was shattered by their words. Facing the condemning gazes of the four little ones, he had difficulty breathing as his breath got stuck in his throat.
What can he say?
It was his decision to confess to Sang Zhixia, and he said the frank words himself.
Sang Zhixia didn't object directly at that time. Her silence over the past few days was obviously a sign of careful consideration. If he went up to her and pulled out the tiger's blown-up tail hair, what good would it do except to intensify her inner struggle?
He wanted to live a good life with Sang Zhixia, and he also knew that what he did in the future could not be hidden from Sang Zhixia's eyes. Instead of letting her know everything and keep her worried, he would rather let her know everything before making a choice.
Xu Yu really didn't know how to explain to the little ones who were glaring at him angrily. Just as his scalp was tingling, the tightly closed door of the west shed opened.
Sang Zhixia came out and looked at Xu Yu expressionlessly: "Come in, I have something to tell you."
Xu Mingyang quickly pushed Xu Yu and said, "Hurry up, sister-in-law is giving you a chance, go and apologize!"
Xu Yu rubbed his face, feeling both amused and helpless. He walked into the house and just as he closed the door, Sang Zhixia threw a small cloth bag of considerable weight at him.
"You take this thing."
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows in confusion, opened it quickly and looked at it. When he looked up again, his expression had changed.
Sang Zhixia looked at him angrily: "I managed to hide some things before, but it's not much. I'll give you half."
"When are you planning on leaving? Are you sure you can come back in three months?"
Xu Yu secretly clenched the things in his hands and said with a wry smile: "Zhizhi, I don't need these, you can keep them for yourself."
"I……"
"With no money in your pocket and no silver in your hand, do you intend to go and twist arms and knock out teeth one by one with your bare hands, fighting your way through unimpeded to find out the truth?"
Sang Zhixia rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I know you have something in mind, and I know you said you'd keep half, but is it true that you don't have any money?"
"Do you have the nerve to go out and ask your old friend for money? Can you even ask that?"
Xu Yu lowered his eyes and didn't respond. The more Sang Zhixia thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Just take it. I stole these things from the Marquis' Mansion anyway. They originally belonged to the Xu family."
It can't be stopped.
Sang Zhixia didn't want to stop him.
If she were to be honest, if she were in the same situation, she would make the same choice as Xu Yu without hesitation.
That was his father, who was as heavy as a mountain in Xu Yu's heart. It was related to the good reputation of the Xu family for generations. She was not so shameless and did not feel that she had the right to stop it.
but……
Sang Zhixia had been deliberating for several days, feeling exhausted. She sat down on the edge of the bed, looking up at Xu Yu and saying, "But listen to my advice: everything can wait. There's always time. If you can't achieve your goal this time, try again next time."
"Things are different now. You'd better be more cautious when you're out there. Don't let anyone catch you hiding your tail."
If she gets involved in any more trouble, the Xu family will face a catastrophe. She really hasn't lived enough.
Seeing that Xu Yu didn't respond, she tilted her head and looked at him disappointedly: "Xu Yu, did you hear what I said?"
"Don't force yourself, do you know? Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, check it out slowly next time. Don't get carried away by impulse, otherwise..."
"I know."
Xu Yu's slender fingers gently slid across the jade pendant, oriental pearl and gold hairpin in the small cloth bag. After thinking for a while, he picked out a round oriental pearl the size of a thumb.
He walked forward, squatted down, and put all the rest into Sang Zhixia's hands.
Sang Zhixia was a little angry: "Why are you..."
"Zhizhi."
"That's enough."
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyebrows radiating countless indescribable tenderness. He held Sang Zhixia's stiff fingers and said, "I know you are worried about me, so you will definitely come back alive."
"You're still waiting for me at home, how could I be willing to die?"
Sang Zhixia glared at him angrily: "Stop flattering yourself. I don't have the time to wait for you."
"Then I can't bear to die."
Xu Yu lowered his head and gently kissed her fingertips. Noticing her unconscious trembling, he whispered, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
Sang Zhixia couldn't tell whether she was afraid or nervous, but now that things had come to this, it seemed unnecessary to say more.
She took out the three remaining Dongzhu beads from the small cloth bag and stuffed them into Xu Yu's hand. Without waiting for him to say anything, she pushed the door open with a stern face and walked out.
In the yard, the little ones looked at her fearfully, her expression showing no sign of relaxation. Then, when they looked at Xu Yu who followed closely behind, their faces were filled with disappointment.
What’s going on, brother?
Can he coax people?!
The little ones anxiously followed Sang Zhixia out. Xu Yu slowly exhaled and turned into the main room.
"Grandfather, I have something to tell you."
That evening, at the dinner table.
Xu Wenxiu looked at Xu Yu in surprise, deeply surprised: "Why did you suddenly want to go to the city to work?"
Uncle Xu also put down his bowl and asked in surprise, "There's so much work around the house and you don't have enough to do? Why do you have to go out?"
Xu Minghui and Xu Ershu had to do so, but it was completely unnecessary for Xu Yu.
Besides, working for your boss is not as comfortable as farming at home.
