"You didn't even know you were coming back. I thought you died outside."
As soon as Xiyue and Xiqing walked to their tree house, a sarcastic voice reached their ears at the stairs outside the three-meter-high tree hole.
The speaker is naturally Xi Rong.
Because the Xi family is just an ordinary family, they do not have better conditions to live in a good independent tree cave.
Now the two families live in a large tree, each with a tree house.
This tree has been passed down from ancestors, because many people in this world cannot afford new tree holes due to the large population, so they build separate tree houses on a tree.
To develop or occupy new tree holes here, unless it is in a very remote area, you will have to pay a certain fee as long as you are in the village.
A single tree hole is not cheap, but the cost is affordable to the poor.
But as long as many families have a tree that is large enough to use as a habitat, they will not spend money on it alone.
There is no cost to live in a semi-underground house with only earth holes and natural tree roots above ground, but after all, living there does not provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer under trees.
The soil cave will be relatively humid because it still rains from time to time. Otherwise, so many vegetations would not be able to reproduce so well without water sources for irrigation.
The largest independent tree hole under the tree is occupied by Dafang Xixin and his wife. Only Xi Lei's son lives in it.
Everyone else was in a simple wooden house with a single room at the branch of a tree.
"You're saying this as if you weren't the one who beat me outside just now?"
Xiyue sneered at Xirong.
Even though she was banned by her family in her previous life, she was not a truly ignorant young lady.
Moreover, she knew how to hide her glory from a young age, and secretly absorbed a lot of knowledge through books and some movies and TV series.
So, what are you playing with her at this time? Do you think you are filming a TV series and playing White Lotus?
"Xiyue, you actually have the nerve to say that? Are you still shameless? Didn't you hear what the old woman of the Wu family cursed just now?
You are not allowed to enter the Wu family, what will you do in the future?! You will be despised by others for the rest of your life!"
Xi Rong was somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
Xiyue snorted coldly. She couldn't express her pain now, so she couldn't find someone to check her body, right? She was already such an old woman, and it wasn't like she had something wrong with seeing a gynecologist and letting others manipulate her.
Coupled with some of the previous "evidences", she was indeed at a disadvantage!
That Wuchen, scumbag!
It's better if you don't marry yourself. Who is going to be that scumbag's wife?!
"Wouldn't that be better? It just so happens that I don't want to marry that scumbag yet!
Who do you think he looks like? He is not even a man!
Love Flower was obviously the one who set up a trap to harm me, and I haven’t even settled the score with him yet!
Believe it or not, I did not seduce him! Nor did I let him ruin my innocence." Xiyue retorted loudly.
She is not a little flower, and she is not immune to that kind of airlessness!
"What nonsense are you talking about?! It's obvious that you are shameless and want to use such a dirty method to marry Brother Wu Chen, but you actually dare to frame Brother Wu Chen?
Look at what you look like, who believes your lies? Do you think everyone is a fool? I’m not the only one who caught you all falling in love with each other." Xi Rong stared angrily with his big eyes, his face full of ridicule and disbelief.
.
And Xiqing was also dumbfounded. After all, they didn't talk about this topic along the way, but she didn't expect that things would be like this!
Is it really the one that brother Wuchen gave to his sister?
No way?
Look at the marks on my sister's neck, how could she still be innocent?
"What qualifications do you have to judge the matter between me and him?
How can you prove that this is my fault?
And why did I go into the deep forest?
Why did you three follow me into the deep forest again?
What happened to us by chance?
Think carefully about it, what is the reason for all this?
If he hadn't set it up, so many things would have happened?!"
Xiyue looked at Xi Rong mockingly. They were all sisters, but they grabbed the person's sore spot and stepped on it hard.
There are no good people in this big family!
Xi Rong felt a little guilty after being scolded by Xi Yue, and continued to argue: "I, we only chased after you when we saw you following Brother Wu Chen!
Xiyue, you'd better shut up and stop slandering Wuchen.
Your reputation has been ruined. Don't forget that we are sisters from the same family. Do you want to continue to implicate me?
My eldest brother is a soldier guarding the city, and I will marry into a wealthy family in a small town in the future, so I won’t have to live in a hole in a tree anymore."
"But aren't you unmarried now?
No one even likes you!
No one comes to propose marriage, right?!
So, what are you showing off here?
Your eldest brother is a soldier guarding the city, but there is no village without dozens of soldiers guarding the city. Is your eldest brother the only one in Xiangguo Village?
If you are jealous that I can move around, then why don’t you have the guts to go out too?!
You hide at home and act like the eldest lady, calling the shots all day long. I really don’t know where you get your sense of superiority!
The Xi family is not a wealthy family. Except for your eldest brother, aren’t you all just waiting for free rice?
So where did my father's injury come from?
We are civilians, so please wake up and stop dreaming!
I really don’t look down on you, if you can marry into a wealthy family in the town, then other girls in Xiangguo Village who are better than you can marry!"
"Sister~" Xiqing pulled Xiyue's clothes, looked at her in disbelief, and signaled her to stop talking.
Can she also say this?
Is your eldest sister crazy? Why has she suddenly become so unreasonable to you?
This kind of thing is not something a girl can say. She actually said that Brother Wuchen harmed her. How is this possible?
"You~! Xiyue, are you looking for death?!"
Xi Rong blushed at the ridicule. It was Xi Yue who was obviously embarrassed, so why was he laughing at himself now?
Under the tree house not far away, several girls covered their mouths and stood on the wooden staircase landing of their house to laugh at her.
It was the first time since childhood that Xi Rong was retorted and ridiculed by Xi Yue like this. She was so angry that she was going to die.
What does she mean?
Am I not as good as a bitch like her!
"Xiyue, what did you say?"
A sharp sound came from the wide tree hole at the bottom.
A mediocre-looking woman dressed as a woman came out with a dark face.
Seeing that the visitor was not timid at all, Xiyue snorted coldly: "You have grown ears, can't you hear what I'm saying?"
Although Xiyue was restricted and free in her previous life, she still had nannies, bodyguards and other people at home to take care of her.
Even those hypocritical elders dare not talk to her in such a disrespectful and unruly manner, after all, her identity is there.
They just used sugar-coated bullets to teach her a wrong way since she was a child, and deliberately spoiled her into a good-for-nothing young lady.
Therefore, in order to cater to those people, Xiyue is extremely rude in her speech, and her sense of superiority is also clearly displayed.
It's just that her personal strength is really weak, and it's useless to just rely on herself to learn and secretly practice some fighting skills.
Because in addition to the bathroom, bedroom, and some warehouses where items are stored, her residence is monitored 24 hours a day.
Without space, there is no place to practice.
After all, it is a peaceful and free society. Even if it is cut off from the outside world, the Internet is so developed!
Although her Internet access is scheduled and restricted, it is also monitored by technical staff at all times to prevent her from actually posting anything and causing a lot of trouble!
Therefore, as a young lady who grew up in a big family, although some people deliberately taught her wrongly, with her temperament and attitude, if Xiyue wanted to show off, Xirong would be a clown!
