Chapter 231 Why is this grown man being so dramatic?
Just as Qian turned her gaze away, she saw this scene.
She paused slightly, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Could it be...?
She looked at Xiao Su Bao nervously, a sense of worry rising in her heart.
"Don't worry, Mother. Eldest brother is more reliable than second brother. Something must have delayed him. Don't worry!" Wang Xiuer said while gnawing on a pig's trotter.
Tang Qi, who was vomiting violently at the door, heard this and wanted to retort, but when he saw the pig's trotter in his wife's hand, he immediately wilted.
"Ugh... I... damn... ugh, is that reliable?"
Tang Qi finished speaking with difficulty and then ran off to a great distance.
Looking at her husband's expression, Wang Xiuer couldn't help but shake her head. It's just a little meat!
Why are you being so dramatic, you grown man?
Ignoring her husband, Wang Xiuer munched on a pig's trotter and said, "No matter how unreliable my brother is, he won't bring that girl back..."
"Second son's wife, shut the hell up!" Qian's face darkened... she was completely distraught.
Because Tang Cheng really did bring that girl back!
The oxcart creaked and groaned as it arrived at the Tang family's door, where Lin Xi'er was sitting.
Tang Cheng's expression wasn't good either. Thinking about what had happened to him, he wanted to punch someone.
When Xiao Su Bao saw Tang Cheng return, she happily ran to her big brother with her short legs.
The little dumpling raised its eyes and gently tugged at Tang Cheng's clothes with its tiny hand.
"Big brother..." She looked at Tang Cheng with concern, feeling a little sad.
Tang Cheng picked up Xiao Su Bao and got off the oxcart.
“Mother, I’m back!” he said in a muffled voice.
"Yes, it's good that you're back!" Madam Qian regretted it; she should have gone with you...
"Let's go inside first!" Madam Qian gave Lin Xi'er a deep look and said to Tang Cheng.
"Okay!" Tang Cheng ignored Lin Xi'er and left with Xiao Su Bao in his arms.
Lin Xier followed behind Tang Cheng, her head down, looking as if she had lost her usual energy and spirit.
She clutched her small bundle tightly, said nothing, and quickly stayed behind Tang Cheng.
Now, Tang Cheng is the only person she can rely on in the entire Tang family!
Tang Shan pulled the ox back and saw that there was still blood on the oxcart, which made his heart skip a beat.
He quickly tied up the oxcart and hurriedly ran into the main room.
At this moment, all the members of the Tang family had arrived. For some reason, Yun Qi, Xiao Mo Bao, and Old Man Hua also came in.
Tang Cheng sat on the side holding Xiao Su Bao, the little dumpling carefully wrapping its arms around Tang Cheng's neck.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Madam Qian sat up, looking at her usually composed eldest son.
Tang Cheng sighed and said, "It's like this... like this and that..."
After hearing this, the Qian family members frowned slightly, and their gazes toward Lin Xi'er became somewhat more complicated.
When they went to the Lin family, the Lin family would not open the door. Tang Cheng would leave Lin Xi'er at the Lin family's door, but Lin Xi'er would always chase after him.
In order to be able to leave, Tang Cheng simply drove the oxcart away.
But before he could leave the city, he was stopped by someone.
Lin Xier was beaten and injured all over her body, and was thrown onto his oxcart.
“Young Master Tang, our young lady went to your village to repay a debt of gratitude, and you sent her back beaten up like this…” The steward finished speaking and gave Tang Cheng a cold look.
Then they found the soldiers guarding the city, and they started shoving and pushing Tang Cheng along with them.
Fortunately, they ran into Fatty Dong and his son, which finally put an end to the matter.
However, he was somewhat injured.
Lin Xier was in tears, looking extremely pitiful.
"Please, Aunt Qian, Brother Tang, please take me in!" Lin Xi'er was clearly not bad-looking.
Even when she cried, she looked pitiful, but no one could feel any sympathy for her.
Tang Cheng had wanted to see the county magistrate before, but the magistrate had been busy these past few days and was not in the government office.
He had no choice but to bring the person back first.
He realized that even if Lin Xi'er died, those people would still send her to them.
That might actually cause a lot of trouble.
He looked coldly at Lin Xier and said, "Our house is too small to keep you here. There's a newly renovated private school next door. You can stay there for the time being!"
After a pause, Tang Cheng continued, "As for food... you'll have two meals a day. You can either work to earn them, or you can figure it out yourself!"
Lin Xi'er was stunned, and her gaze towards Tang Cheng became somewhat strange.
She's already so pitiful, how could Tang Cheng be so heartless?
He clearly saw himself covered in wounds!
Lin Xier bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.
“Okay…” Lin Xi’er took a deep breath and said with a sad face.
She glanced at Xiao Su Bao and tightened her grip on the small bundle.
It's all Xiao Su Bao's fault. If there were no girls in this family and only her, then the Tang family would have liked her!
Her father said that Xiao Su Bao was also taken in by the Tang family. They treated Xiao Su Bao so well, so they would definitely treat her well too.
They're both daughters, so why is Xiao Su Bao spoiled by them while I have to do chores even to eat?
"Little Su Bao... everything that happened before was my fault, please don't blame me, okay?"
Remembering what her mother had taught her, Lin Xi'er raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Su Bao with feigned sincerity.
I'm already so pathetic, she should be able to forgive me...
"Oh no!" Little Su Bao hugged Tang Cheng, her little face stern, looking very angry.
"I knew you would forgive your sister, sister..." Lin Xi'er had already prepared a smile on her face and even thought about what she was going to say next.
Upon hearing Xiao Su Bao's words, she was immediately stunned.
This skinny little darling, who barely weighs any meat on her body, seemed so easy to fool before!
Little Su Bao snorted softly. She saw the pinch marks on Tang Cheng's neck, and the little dumpling was very angry.
"I don't want to forgive you!" Xiao Su Bao said again, pursing her lips.
Lin Xi'er's face turned pale, and she looked at Xiao Su Bao in disbelief.
"You're lying..." Little Su Bao glared angrily at Lin Xi'er, the little dumpling looking rather fierce at this moment.
The older brother is such a good person, but he went out and got injured. The little dumpling is very angry.
Little Su Bao likes older brothers, but doesn't like Lin Xi'er at all!
"Big brother, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you!" The little dumpling's eyes were red as she looked at Tang Cheng with concern and asked cautiously.
Tang Cheng was taken aback, wondering what was wrong with the little dumpling.
He was covering his face at the time, so there weren't many injuries on his face. How could that have been discovered?
Just then, a small hand gently and carefully touched his neck.
Then a warm breeze blew over.
Tang Cheng's heart softened immediately, and his previous depressed mood improved considerably.
"Alright, big brother, you're alright. Don't be sad, Su Bao!" Tang Cheng said gently, a hint of tenderness on his serious face.
Lin Xier watched this scene with envy.
Suddenly, an idea came to her.
Just as they were talking, Lin Xier suddenly felt her legs go weak and fainted.
"Hey... Mother, she's fainted!" Wang Xiuer popped out from the side, looking at Lin Xier with disdain.
Before anyone could react, Wang Xiuer had already reached out, grabbed Lin Xier by the back of her collar, lifted her up, and looked her up and down.
"Slow down!" Madam Qian glared at Wang Xiuer with annoyance.
