C10 Chapter Ten

Rong Xiu laughed secretly. She did not expect this little sister-in-law to be able to pull out a little literary talent. "Who is it!?"

The flame outside suddenly flickered, and an old voice yelled out. From the sound of it, it seemed to be the village chief. Rong Xiu looked at Su Cheng Xi with a surprised expression, "Husband, what's going on?"

"Since they've already done this sort of thing, there's no need for me to care about their face any longer. Let the village chief come over as a witness and end this matter for us."

Su Cheng Xi gently caressed Rong's embroidered hair. He suddenly sat up and put on his coat.

Rong Xiu also quickly got off the bed. She still had to have the proper etiquette.

The couple walked out of the house and saw the village chief and two villagers standing next to the chicken coop. It was unknown if it was because of the fire or because they were embarrassed, but Lady Wang and Gui Fei cowered and their faces were flushed red.

"Village Chief, you're being unreasonable …" My son lives here, I came to see, so what? " Grandma Wang looked at Su Chengxi, hoping that he would say something nice for her.

Su Cheng Xi acted as if he did not see it at all. He cupped his hands towards the Village Chief and said: "Village Chief, my mother and Gui Fen have dirt under their nails. Last night they stole our baby chicks.

"You … What proof do you have? " Guifen was trembling with fear, but she still argued, "Besides, we are working for you!"

As she said this, she continuously used her elbow to poke at the back of Nanny Wang's waist, afraid that if Nanny Wang said anything wrong, Su Cheng Xi would bring them to the officials.

However, in Rong Xiu's eyes, Su Cheng Xi was nothing more than a little punisher, allowing this pair of shameless mother and daughter to somewhat guess what was going on.

Old Lady Wang was so scared that her face turned pale, "You are unfilial! It must be that slut's instigation, since this is a crime that goes down on seven counts. You have to divorce her, you have to divorce her! "

The Village Head shook his head and sighed, "Grandma Wang, if you knew earlier, why did you have to go through so much trouble …" This... Cheng Xi … "You did it because your mother raised you for so many years, and in the future, you're going to be an official …"

So it turned out that the imperial court placed great importance on filial piety. If the mother and son dueled with each other, even if the son was in charge, there would be an additional amount of filial piety recorded. The Village Chief's actions were truly done for Su Cheng Xi's sake.

Through the original owner's memories, Rong Xiu knew of this rule, and immediately became somewhat worried.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng Xi said indifferently: "Village Chief, Cheng Xi only wants justice today."

"I did not expect that after suffering for more than twenty years, I had finally raised an ingrate!" Old Lady Wang began to cry and howl as she pounded her chest and stomped her feet. This scene caused the Village Head's face to turn unsightly.

Rong Xiu's body was slender and delicate, but at this moment, she took a step forward and said, "Grandma's words are wrong. Husband is studying hard every day, and the reason why I went to take the exam is partly because of my ambition, and partly because I want to lighten Granny's burden. Grandma not only did not understand, but also used words to attack me, how can I live up to the four words' bitter and bitter '?"

"This... If not for you urging Cheng Xi to split his family, Cheng Xi would have known that I am his mother and would have treated him so well! " Grandma Wang didn't know what had happened to her. In the past, she had always treated her daughter-in-law with filial piety, becoming more and more sharp-tongued.

Rong Xiu shook her head and sighed, "Mother's good fortune is all on uncle's shoulders. Even on the day of the branch family, he did not leave uncle's side. It was all heard by the village head that day. Hubby respected his mother, so he had been holding back. But Rong Xiu had seen it for herself and knew that hubby had suffered too much in the recent years. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel disappointed for hubby. "

"Hmph, how much did second brother give us to chew? Your mother just took a few of your chicks and you want to report your mother to the government, and you even say you're filial!" Guifen was so angry that she forgot what she had said.

Upon hearing these words, it was too late for Lady Wang to cover her mouth anymore. The words' stealing chickens and puppies' all fell into the ears of the Village Head and the other two witnesses.

The village chief, who was originally attached to Su Chengxi, raised his voice and said: "If that's the case, Lady Wang, you admit that you and your daughter stole a chicken cub … "Cheng Xi, since you insist on doing this, then send these two to the government!"

"Mom, quickly say something!" Gui Fen was on the verge of tears. She and Grandma Wang were both from the countryside, so how could they have any knowledge? When they heard that they were going to the government, their knees went soft.

Rong Xiu seemed to be unintentional as she said gently, "I heard that once we arrive at the county magistrate court, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, we will first kill twenty men. My husband and I will still be able to endure it, but I just don't know if my mother will still be strong enough."

Although these words were said for Su Cheng Xi to hear, they directly destroyed Grandma Wang's arrogant attitude.

Grandma Wang was so frightened that she couldn't help but say something soft: "I'm returning those chicks right now, Cheng Xi. You must think of the kindness your mother brought you up for … "You …"

"Forget it. If mother is willing to return the baby chicken, then forget it." Su Cheng Xi's lips curled up into a sly smile: "The village chief can also be a witness."

The village head cleared his throat: "Of course, of course, Lady Wang, quickly return the chicks. Your Cheng Xi has already given you enough face, don't be so cheap and act good again."

"Having a son is really a waste of time, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning!" Grandma Wang knew she was powerless, so she pretended to shed a few tears, allowing Gui Fen to support her as she walked home, step by step.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Su Cheng Xi turned to the village head and said: "Thank you, village head. I am willing to bear witness to Cheng Xi's death."

"Ai …" "Cheng Xi, I've witnessed all the hardships you've suffered since young. Now that you two are having a good life, you'll get better and better in the future. I'll go back first." The village chief smiled as he left with his two witnesses.

"Hubby just now really gave Rong Xiu a fright." Rong Xiu retracted her gaze, "If we were to report this to the county magistrate court, I'm afraid that my husband's career as a official would also be ruined."

"As long as you are honest, you are not afraid." Su Cheng Xi seemed to be thinking about something. He withdrew his mind and said, "Xiu'er did give my husband a pleasant surprise."

The girl in front of him was petite and exquisite, but her body contained a tremendous amount of energy. This caused Su Cheng Xi to be astonished. However, besides being surprised, he was also more interested in Rong Xiu's identity.

"Xiu'er, don't worry. Hubby, you will never let anyone bully us again." Su Chengxi took Rong Xiu's hand and placed it carefully in his palm. "Such a beautiful night …"

"Husband, look!" Rong Xiu's train of thoughts had already been pulled away from her mind. After a while, the fireflies in the grass had all flown out. The fireflies and the full moon in the sky reflected together. This scene looked very moving.

Su Cheng Xi couldn't help but laugh. The little Xiu'er's mind had indeed jumped out of her head: "If Xiu'er likes it, how about your husband makes a firefly lantern for you?"

Rong Xiu's gaze was filled with anticipation, but she still shook her head, "Husband, if these fireflies are sealed in lanterns, they won't be able to live for long. Let's cherish the material resources."

"Precious material resources …" If it was before, he was only interested in Rong Xiu, but at this moment, Su Cheng Xi was only surprised.

When these words came out, Rong Xiu's understanding of the Dao of nature had been thoroughly explained. This little girl was truly amazing.

"This is good as well …" Surprisingly, Su Cheng Xi had actually slowly approached Rong Xiu. As he looked at Rong's embroidered cherry lips, he felt like he was about to swallow something.

Rong Xiu knew that her situation wasn't good, so she hurriedly jumped back a step. "Then hubby, let's go back and sleep."

She hurried back to the house.

Su Cheng Xi couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Was his charm really not enough? Can be placed in the past... He himself had … Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. A smile hung on Su Cheng Xi's face as he returned to his bed. This time, the two of them actually fell asleep facing each other.
