“Big sister, Hung niangwas such an awful person!” Little Lan Lan was still upset at the exchange.
Cheng Xiao Xiao walked on as she told her, “Keep in mind, Lan Lan,don’t get into fights with people like that in the future. Ignore her if yourun into her, you understand?”
“Understood, big sister!” Replied little Lan Lan obediently, thenshe asked, “Big sister, do you like Danhang ge?”
Ugh….
Even kids her age want to ask about her love life, corner ChengXiao Xiao’s quivered a bit, she looked her little sisters clear, round eyes anddidn’t want to hide anything from her, so she said, “No!”
“Oh….” Little Lan Lan nodded and has a look of understanding.Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure whether she should laugh or cry from her sister’s.e.xpression, so she reached out and rubbed on her head.
The two of them continued to walk toward home. Little Lan Lan,holding Cheng Xiao Xiao’s hand, asked, “Big sister, why was it that Hung niang and the others don’t believe thatwe are eating rice and meat at home?”
Little Lan Lan couldn’t figure this one out. In her mind, she hadspoken the truth so others should believe her, but everyone else looked at themin disbelief.
Cheng Xiao Xiao froze a bit over this question. Suddenly, thatreminded her of an bigger issue. If they continuously sell the items sheobtained from the dimension, it’s a matter of time before others ask about thesource of the animals and rice.
If they weren’t able to provide a reasonable excuse, she worriedthat she would bring out bigger trouble.
Both her and the parents had completely overlooked this fact.
Cheng Xiao Xiao considered it lucky that her sister just remindedher of that. They need to figure out someone quickly.
After they have arrived and had dinner, and the sibling were outplaying, Cheng Xiao Xiao and her mother both appeared in the father’s house.
After having the medicines for a few days, the badly injured Mr.Cheng was starting to look better. He was pale like ice as he was a while ago,even his saddened eyes brightened up a little.
After seeing his wife and daughter both appearing in his house atthe same time, he cast a glance at his daughter and asked, “Xiao Xiao, issomething wrong?”
“No, nothing is wrong, just thought of an issue that I want tobring up to the two of you,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
Mrs. Cheng, who was standing nearby, looked gloomy. She lookedover at her elegant daughter an sighed sadly. Her younger daughter had alsotold her about what had transpired in Willow Village, of course she wasworried.
Of course, she was also annoyed at the shrewd An Xiao Hung who wastrying to spread rumors for no reason and causing her daughter to bedistressed.
Mr. Cheng had not caught up on what had happened so he was curiousabout what his daughter had to say. He instructed his daughter directly,“What’s the problem, just tell us, we will figure something out together.”
“Dad, mom, here’s the issue, right now we are mainly selling therice and animals from the dimension. On top of that, we sell them by thedozens. Xiao Xiao2 worries that at this rate we will attract unwantedattention. It will be a matter of time when others suspect that we have somekind of treasure or special ability if we don’t grow chickens and rabbits andhave some fields. Xiao Xiao thinks that we should figure out a way to explainthese away should anyone come and check us out.” Looking solemn, Cheng XiaoXiao lightly revealed what was on her mind.
“You nailed it, Xiao Xiao. Both your mom and I had forgotten aboutthis problem!” A beam of light shot out of Cheng Bi Yuan’s eyes. With allseriousness, he said, “We will certain bring out troubles to ourselves if wekeep this up!”
