Responding to her brother’s call, ChengXiao Xiao join the family at the dinner table.
After dinner, Mrs. Cheng sent the youngones to bed and kept Cheng Xiao Xiao in the yard with her.
Looking at her mother who obviously hadsomething on her mind, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked curiosity, “Mom, what is thematter?”
“Nothing, Xiao Xiao,” replied Mrs. Chengas she shook her head, but still looking like she had something on her mind.
Cheng Xiao Xiao paused for a second andsmiled, “Mom, it’s alright, you can tell me.”
“Xiao Xiao, really nothing!” Looking intothe pure eyes of her daughter, she picked up her hands and said ever solovingly, “Xiao Xiao, thank you for helping our during these difficult days!”
“Mom, don’t say that, we are a family. And,right, I have harvested my rice crop from the dimension, let me get them out ina bit. From now on we can have white rice every day!” Seeing that her motherdidn’t want to share, she changed thesubject.
Mrs. Cheng looked ecstatic and asked, “Youhave harvested the rice crop already?” She just said she planted them yesterday,and it has already harvested in a day. She was utterly surprised!
After seeing her daughter’s nod, her smilebrightened and said, “Xiao Xiao, in that case, why don’t we go to the marketagain in two days? Your dad needs some better herbs, let’s go exchange for sometaels!”
“Sure, mom, let’s go in a few days!” Sinceshe was harvesting everyday, she didn’t care about selling these things. Right nowher family have meat on the table everyday, that’s much better than mostvillagers!
“Yes, no rush. Your dad seems to begetting better these last few days. We got time!”
Since she brought up the father’s injury,Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help her curiosity and asked, “Mom, can you tell mewho was it that hurt dad, please?”
“Xiao Xiao, you don’t need to worry aboutthat!” Mrs. Cheng looked at her daughter and looked to be in dismay. She avoidedthe subject, “It’s a blessing that you couldn’t remember the past. So don’tworry about it. Your brothers and sister are still young. Our current lives aren’ttoo bad!”
“Mom, I’m an adult now, I think I shouldknow what had happened. Please, tell me?”
“Okay, Xiao Xiao, go get some rest. I willtell you later!” In order to avoid the subject, Mrs. Cheng quickly got up andwent inside her own quarter!
Looking at the back of her motherdisappearing into the house, Cheng Xiao Xiao felt very frustrated. She couldn’tunderstand why her mother would want to hide that from her. Being unhappy for ashort while, she, too, returned to her own quarter.
Speaking of, there had been lots ofservants on the street. If you were in the know about things, you would knowthese are all employees of Ning House and words on the street were they werelooking for a mother/daughter pair.
But the servants of Ning House weredestined to be disappointed. After a few days of searching, they were stillunable to locate the two, it was as though they have never been there.
The few elders who were waiting at Ning Housewere also disappointed. They have been waiting for the mother and daughter to showup. They really wanted to find out where did these mythical animals come from.
Since they weren’t able to locate the two,one by one they had bid old man Ning farewell. At the same time, they also askedhim to inform them if he hear anything about the mother and daughter and they’dreturn right away.
Old man Ning promised them and saw them out.
What they didn’t know what that the onesthat they were searching for were about to show up in the marketplace shortly!
