Announcement!!
“Mom, why are you cutting up the oldclothes?” asking Cheng Xiao Xiao in a surprised tone when she saw her mothercutting up her old clothes in the yard.
Mrs. Cheng looked up and gave her a bittersmile, “Xiao Xiao, there are my old clothes. They are a little old, but thequality is quite good. I thought I’d alter them for your sister!”
“Mom!” Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up to herand casually took the clothing piece from her hand and sat next to her, “Mom, Iam not going to stop you from making clothing, but do we need to wear the oldones any more? We have money now. Dad can go to the marketplace tomorrow and bringhome some fabric. Then you can make us all new clothes!”
“Well, Xiao Xiao, we have tens of taels,I’m afraid….”
“Mom, don’t worry!” Cheng Xiao Xiaointerrupted her and smiled, “We aren’t always going to have only tens of taels.If you are willing, we can easily bring in tens of thousands of taels. We don’tneed to be frugal and suffer anymore!”
“Xiao Xiao, you mean….” Mrs. Cheng wasdumbfounded.
Cheng Xiao Xiao gave her a smile, “Mom,you know, the dimension has been producing quite a bit every day. We alreadyhave 10,000 dan rice in the warehousealong with close to 10,000 chickens and rabbits. Just think, if we are to sellthem, tens of thousands taels are not a pipe dream.”
“This…” Mrs. Cheng was bewildered by herdaughter’s words. She didn’t think they have already acc.u.mulated so muchmythical animals and produces in only three months.
She knew fairly well that if they trulywere going to sell them all, never mind tens of thousands of taels, they couldprobably fetch upward of hundreds of thousands of taels.
“Xiao Xiao, are you serious?” asked ChengBiyuan in disbelief as he walked through the door. He figured his daughter hadacc.u.mulated quite a bit of mythical animals and produces, but the quant.i.tystills surprised him.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded lightly at herfather’s question. Truthfully, she was being conservative about the numbers,there might be another 10,000 or so more.
“Great! That’s excellent!” smiled ChengBiyuan happily.
Mrs. Cheng had the exact same smile, “Ye, how come you are back already? Ithought you were going to teach Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin martial art?”
“I did, they are practicing in the bambooforest!” His smile disappeared slowly and was replaced with a small frown asthough he had ran into some problems.
Naturally, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who wa.s.standing next to him, noticed the change and asked, “Dad, what happened?”
“Nothing, both of your brothers are verytalented, but I am afraid our family’s lack of resources will hold them back,and I….” Cheng Biyuan frowned and continued, “I have a feeling that we will runinto some troubles in a few days. Even though I am a martial master, but I amstill a junior martial master, if only I could break through to mid-level….”
“Dad, don’t you worry. We still haveYuteng. There’s nothing to worry about!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was confident. Shedidn’t believe they wouldn’t even be able to overcome the minor setbacks whenthey were just starting out.
Nodding lightly, Cheng Biyuan smiledagain, “Maybe I am just overthinking this!”
“Not necessarily!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao,“By the way, dad, we need some supplies around the house. Maybe you can make atrip to the marketplace tomorrow to replenish them? And, I think it’s best weget a horse-drawn wagon as well!”
“Make sense. We can’t keep borrowingPatriarch Liu’s ox-drawn wagon every time we head to the marketplace!” Mrs.Cheng agreed as well.
Cheng Biyuan had an idea what they needaround the house, and he hasn’t been to the marketplace for a while now. Henodded, “Okay, I will go and get them tomorrow!”
“Dad, mom, I have anothersuggestion!” Cheng Xiao Xiao thought it overand decided to bring it up.
