“Mom, let’s go eat breakfast!”
Mrs. Chang smiled, “Okay, glad everything is alright. Let’s go eat
breakfast!”
“Okay!” Cheng Xiao Xiao started helping with breakfast. Suddenly
she remembered that the fish in the dimension had matured, her smile brightened
and said, “Mom, the fish in the dimension had matured. We can have fried fish
for lunch!”
“Okay! We haven’t had fish in a long time!”
“I am sure the young ones want it more!”
“Of course they do, they like everything!”
After breakfast, Mrs. Cheng went inside the house and got the
support of Cheng Biyuan and happily left for Willow Village with a chicken and
a rabbit.
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at her generous mother and shook her head.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to give away one extra rabbit; she just felt
that they should continue to say low key and not to attract any unwanted
attention.
What she didn’t know was that their two trips to the marketplace
had already attracted attention.
A couple of hours later, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had been waiting the
whole time, finally saw her mother returning.
She noticed that Mrs. Cheng looked both angry and happy at the
same time. Baffled, she asked, “Mom, what’s the matter? Did something happen?”
“A little bit!” Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, “But it was resolved.
Patriarch Liu accepted our proposal. After all, nobody from Willow Village
spent time on cultivating this land. It was bare land until we cultivated it.
And it’s still Willow Village who’s managing it, he didn’t have too much
objection.”
“Did someone else say something?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was not
surprised.
Mrs. Cheng nodded slightly and started recounting the events.
Matter of fact, when Mrs. Cheng was heading to Patriarch Liu’s
house with a chicken and a rabbit, she was spotted by Willow villagers right
away. Not only were they surprised by her generosity (from the villagers
perspective, a chicken and a rabbit was a fairly substantial gift), but they
were even more curious about the purpose of her visit.
That had brought a few gossipy-type women to Patriarch Liu’s house
when Mrs. Cheng just brought up the idea of transferring the fields to them.
Under the clamoring of these women, Patriarch Liu was hesitant to accept her
proposal right away. After all, all properties of Willow Village belong to the
villagers. Patriarch Liu couldn’t be too draconian about it.
Mrs. Cheng was never a quick-witted woman. She wasn’t able to out
wit these gossipy women. However, when An Xiao Hung started bringing up Cheng
Xiao Xiao, Mrs. Cheng figured out what she was trying to get at.
She was so furious her face turned beet red. It wasn’t that she
looked down on the villagers, but they were attacking her daughter with the
nastiest of all languages, all because her daughter made them lose face two
days ago.
The always protective Mrs. Cheng exploded and scolded them till
they were speechless. When it comes to reasoning, none of these uneducated
women could measure up to Mrs. Cheng. All they knew were foul languages.
Finally, Patriarch Liu, who
has always been fond of the Cheng’s, was fed up with these women ganging up on
the outsider Mrs. Cheng and decisively promised to transfer over the ownership
of the fields and would accompany her to complete the paper work the next day.
After Cheng Xiao Xiao finished listening to the story, she was
livid. But there was nothing she could do to these unreasonable, gossipy woman.
She resigned to saying, “Mom, let’s just ignore them for now. If they really
try to come and cause trouble, we can handle them!”
