Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 21

ch 21.1 – The Shrew Got Her Way

Cheng Xiao Xiao followed her mother into the kitchen. Breakfast was already prepared, Mrs. Cheng stood next to the stove and looked attentively at her daughter with the ability to “turn stone into gold.” She had mixed emotions along with a hint of worry.

Mrs. Cheng’s look made Cheng Xiao Xiao uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but to ask, “Mom, something wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?”“Xiao Xiao….” Mrs. Cheng’s lips quivered. She was about to say something but stopped. With quiet sadness, she sighed, “No, nothing. Bring the porridge out and let’s have breakfast!”“Mom, are you worried that people will gossip when they see our additions?” Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t think of anything else that could be on her mother’s mind.Mrs. Cheng’s arm that was reaching out to the buns stopped in midair. She shook her head slightly, “No, I am not worry about that. Others didn’t see how the things were produced, there’s not much they could say about that. I worried about you. The fact that you can do something like that, will it have negative impact on you!”“Mom, don’t worry! Xiao Xiao will be fine!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was touched and tried to comfort her mother.Perhaps she had read too many fantasy novels. It had never occurred to her that having a dimension will negatively impact her health. She had always thought of it as a benefit to a transmigrator and never gave it too much thought.Mrs. Cheng still has a serious look on her. She sighed lightly and patted her daughter’s hand, “Aye, Xiao Xiao, you don’t get it. People can be dangerous. Just remember, don’t share your secret with anyone else, including your sibling. Otherwise, if even a bit of this got leaked, we will be in grave danger!”“Mom, I understand. I won’t blab about it.” Cheng Xiao Xiao is not a na?ve little girl. She understood that having this kind of ability could possibly bring big trouble.“God had given us blessings. Mom doesn’t want this to bring us trouble. Luckily you have grown up, so I am less worried. You have done so much for this family!”“Mom, please don’t feel that way. We are a family!” Cheng Xiao Xiao doesn’t like her mother thinking that, that’s not family-like. Suddenly she recalled something she had thought about last night and she frowned.“What’s the matter, Xiao Xiao?”“Mom, why don’t you bring a chicken to the Patriarch Liu in a bit and asked him to sign over the fields to us? So we can avoid any conflicts in the future?”“You mean….” Mrs. Cheng didn’t catch on right away to what Cheng Xiao Xiao was trying to tell her.Cheng Xiao Xiao explained, “Mom, even though we have lived here for the last few years, but the land still belongs to Willow Village. Now that we are farming and raising livestock, when our livelihood became better and better, if the villagers of Willow Village ever became envious and want the land back, we will have no rights to these lands without any sort of agreement with Patriarch Liu.“Ugh, I don’t think so. We have been living here for quite a few years, why would any one fight over this with us?” In Mrs. Cheng’s mind, this was bare land cultivated by her husband, of course it belonged to them. Why would anyone fight over that with them?Reading her mother’s mind, Cheng Xiao Xiao added, “Mom, people have greed. Maybe not everyone, but there are those out there. On top of that, as we become better and better off, there will be those who wants to cause trouble. I think we should plan and prepare for those situations in advance. Otherwise we will be helpless when that happens.“Yes, Xiao Xiao you are right!” Mrs. Cheng went silent for a bit, she’s not a stupid woman. She was aware of the greed and heartlessness of others. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be at this place to begin with.

Thinking about it, she agreed that it wasn’t a bad idea to have Patriarch Liu to provide them with something in writing. She nodded, “Okay, I will make a trip over there after breakfast!”

“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!”
