The villagers expressed their opinions
one by one. They all seemed to want to leave the village and didn’t believe
there would be any danger!
Old Patriarch didn’t say anything but
looked at Cheng Biyuan, waiting for his opinion.
Cheng Biyuan didn’t want to enrage
everyone so he nodded at them and said, “If that’s the case, everybody remember
what I said today – starting tomorrow, everyone will be able to come and go
freely. If anything happens, its on you!”
“You heard Mr. Cheng. Don’t worry,
everyone. Starting tomorrow, you can go wherever you want. Be appreciative of
Mr. Cheng’s good will!”
“Old Patriarch! Now that we have settled
the issue about leaving the village, is Mr. Cheng going to take our daughters
or not. We need an answer one way or another, right?” shrieked the discontented
An Hung niang.
“Xiao Xiao, why don’t you take over?”
Cheng Biyuan handed this over to his oldest daughter to handle.
“Sure, dad!” replied Cheng Xiao Xiao to
her father then casted An Hung niang
a glance. She really didn’t want to stoop down to her level, but she has been
trying to stir up trouble repeatedly. Cheng Xiao Xiao truly disliked this
person.
The old patriarch didn’t expect Cheng
Biyuan would fully trust Cheng Xiao Xiao with this matter so he smiled at Cheng
Xiao Xiao and said, “Maiden Chen. What are your thoughts? Go ahead, you can say
it out loud. Everyone will listen as long as you are reasonable!”
“Thank you, grandpa Liu!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt very respectful
toward the nice and gentle old patriarch. After all, he played a big role in
allowing the Cheng’s to settle down in Willow. More importantly, he has always
been a very fair person and the villagers looked up to him.
It was only because of this very fair
man in front of her that Cheng Xiao Xiao felt comfortable in spending the time
and effort to convince the villagers.
“Grandpa Liu, since An da niang brought up the issues with the
young girls first, we can talk about that first. A few days ago we’ve accepted
a few girls to be ours and sent the few younger ones home. That did not mean we
won’t accept them, it’s just that I feel that there are a few things we need to
clarify first.
“Oh, and what is it that you want to
clarify, Xiao Xiao?” asked the old patriarch kindly.
All the villagers there who have young
daughters perked up their ears and listed attentively.
“Even if we are raising your children
for you, while they were working for the Cheng’s, they must follow our orders.
I trust that grandpa Liu understands where I am coming from. I trust that other
uncles and aunties in the villages are also familiar with this concept. They
can’t just sit around and eat and only work when they feel like, and go home
when they don’t. If that’s the case, we aren’t hiring anyone, we are just being
taken advantage of like morons. Am I right, grandpa Liu?”
“Xiao Xiao, you mean some of them only
want you to raise their children for them, instead of helping out with your
house work?” asked the old patriarch incredulously.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and said
indifferently, “More or less. All I said was if they are going to enter the
Cheng’s and become our maids, they must follow our orders, and An da niang and the other aunties clamored
about it. They stated that we should raise the girls for them, but when they
get to the right age, they will get married!”
