Chapter 762: Purpose
Mrs. Xu put the cake back into her daughter's hand and said, "Eat the cake. I'll go make you some food. It's almost noon. Let the benefactors stay for lunch."
Xu Chensheng grabbed his mother and a difficult look appeared on his face.
Mrs. Xu thought her son was worried about her health and didn't let her cook.
"It's okay. Mom is fully recovered now. I haven't cooked for you in several years. Let me cook for you today." Mrs. Xu said.
She wanted to thank her benefactor, and she also wanted to ask him for something.
But Xu Chensheng still held his mother's hand tightly and did not let go.
He whispered: "Mom, we have no rice left at home."
Mrs. Xu was stunned. Since he fell ill, he has never cooked again. All the work at home and outside was done by his three sons.
They never told themselves that there was no rice at home.
"Tatsuo, go to your grandparents' house and borrow some rice."
Xu Chensheng stood there without moving.
My grandmother's family avoided them like they were the plague. Borrowing rice? How could they possibly borrow it?
"Mom, we're really not hungry. You're in good health, so you should take a rest." Xu Chensheng said.
"Even though you are not hungry, it is almost noon and our benefactors also need to eat. They saved my life and I have no way to repay them. Treating them to a meal can also express my gratitude. You can go and borrow some. Tell your grandparents, and we can borrow one kilogram and return two kilograms." Xu continued.
Xu Chensheng glanced at his mother. His mother had been ill. Didn’t she remember many things?
How could their grandparents lend them rice when they bullied them like that?
"Mother, I've already told you that I will repay the little princess for curing your illness."
Xu Chensheng just refused to borrow rice.
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she stamped her feet and pushed Xu Chensheng. "I told you to go, so you went. Don't you even listen to your mother?"
Xu Chensheng didn't dare to make his mother angry, so he could only bite the bullet and go to his grandparents' house to borrow rice.
He didn't understand. Could it be that his mother had really forgotten what happened in the past few years?
Otherwise, why did she insist on asking me to go to my grandparents' house to borrow rice?
"No need to borrow rice, I have it here..."
But before Xiao Yanbao could finish, Ye Zeyan stopped him, "Sister."
Ye Zeyan felt that there must be something going on since the Xu family had to ask Xu Chensheng to go out and borrow rice.
He felt that it was not as simple as just borrowing rice.
Xiao Yanbao thought that her brother didn't want others to know that her Ruyi Bag was a treasure.
But Xiao Yanbao was not worried at all that anyone would covet her Ruyi Bag because no one could take it away.
She had so much rice in her Ruyi bag, so she could just give some to the Xu family. Why should she ask them to borrow one kilogram of rice and then pay back two kilograms? That would be too much of a loss.
But her brother didn't let her stop it. Could it be that her brother saw something?
Let's wait and see if Xu Chensheng can borrow the rice back. However, looking at Xu Chensheng's hesitant look, it may not be possible to borrow two kilograms even if he borrows one kilogram.
Just as Xiao Yanbao thought of this, there was a noise in the yard.
"Xu, you are a sickly woman, a jinx. You killed Dagui, why don't you die? You still have the nerve to ask Chensheng to borrow rice from my house. You haven't paid off the money you owe us yet."
A gruff woman's voice sounded at the door.
Following this sound, there was the sound of messy footsteps.
"Mrs. Xu is here, and there's another good show to watch."
"I wonder what the relationship is between those people in the room and Xu Dagui's family? Can Mrs. Xu control the Xu family this time?"
The discussions in the yard also reached Xiao Yanbao's ears.
Not only did it reach Xiao Yanbao's ears, but in fact everyone in the house heard it, because the people in the yard didn't try to avoid anyone when they talked.
Xu's eyes flickered.
But this time the emotion in her eyes was not fear or panic.
In the past, whenever she heard the harsh voice of her stepmother-in-law, her heart would tremble and she would feel afraid unconsciously.
But this time she didn't feel any fear at all.
Could it be that now that my illness has been cured, my courage has also increased?
Those people in the yard who were curious about the news did not get too close because Guique was standing at the door.
Even if Guique didn't say anything and just stood at the door, no one would dare to approach.
So Xu's illness was cured, but outsiders didn't know about it yet.
Because when Xiao Yanbao and the others came, they had told Han Wu not to reveal their identities to anyone.
Han Wu brought Xiao Yanbao and the others to the door of Xu Dagui's house. Someone saw them, so someone came over to ask who these people were and whether they were Xu's family members. But Han Wu kept his mouth shut and said he didn't know.
The one in the room is the little princess of Lan country. The little princess calls that handsome young man brother.
Even if that handsome young man was not the prince of the current dynasty, he was still a royal relative.
At first, Han Wu had not yet connected the little princess and the others with Xu's family, but when someone asked him this, Han Wu began to wonder.
Could it be that Xu was really a member of the royal family who had fallen into the common people?
When Han Wu thought about this, his legs began to tremble.
Just now, my wife scolded Xu...
It’s over! It’s over! The sky is falling, and their family is probably going to be wiped out.
Han Wu pulled his wife back and said, "Don't look anymore, go back quickly."
Han Wu's wife glared at Han Wu fiercely, "Why don't you watch? I want to see that unlucky star, the vixen, get punished."
Han Wu was so anxious that he quickly covered his wife's mouth.
Han Wu's wife bit Han Wu hard and said, "Well, now you are still protecting that vixen. How long have you been hooking up with Xu's vixen?"
Han Wu was angry and anxious, and slapped his wife on the face, "Pa!"
Han Wu was stunned when he slapped his wife. This was the first time he hit his wife.
In the past, no matter how unreasonable his wife was, he never touched her.
He slapped her in the face to save her life, not only her life, but also the lives of his entire family.
Han Wu's wife was slapped and started howling.
"Han Wu, you actually hit me for that sick vixen from the Xu family? Fine, hit me, hit me hard. If you don't kill me today, I will never let you go."
Han Wu couldn't care less now. He couldn't let his wife make a scene in front of Xu's door.
So he grabbed his wife and dragged her back.
The longer it was delayed, the harsher the scolding became from Han Wu's wife.
Han Wu had no choice but to carry his wife on his back and run back.
The crowd watching the fun began to talk one after another.
It seems that maybe it is not Mrs. Xu who is making things difficult for Xu Dagui's wife, but it is Xu Dagui's wife who has brought ruin to the family's reputation!
Whoever was mentioned would arrive soon. Just as people were talking about it, Mrs. Xu led her daughter and walked towards this side in a twisted manner.
