ch 23.1 - Shrew At The Door (1/2)

“Mom, dad. We have collected plenty of rice, chickens, and rabbits from the dimension. We should look for another opportunity to sell them and, at the same time, have the doctor visit one more time and see what more he could do for dad.” Cheng Xiao Xiao expressed what was on her mind.

Cheng Bi Yuan lowered his dimmed eyes. Mrs. Cheng, who was standing nearby, nodded and smile, “Xiao Xiao was right. I will go and borrow the cow-drawn wagon from Patriarch Liu again so we can sell our produces for more money and get some better medicines for your dad. Now that he is recovering, we should continue on with the treatment.”

“Plus, we need more salt and oil. Let’s arrange our trip for day after tomorrow!” Mrs. Cheng had made the decision.

Looking at the silent father, Cheng Xiao Xiao could figure out what was on his mind. She added, “Dad, we don’t need much, we just want you to recover to normal.”

Even though she didn’t have the original memory of Cheng Xiao Xiao, but she could still tell that her father was not just a commoner. Espeically seeing how her brother Cheng Zheng Yuan has been practicing kung fu everyday. She was sure her dad was a very skilled kung fu master of his time.

Unfortunately she didn’t know how he had offended someone. Not only did they force him to this place, they followed him all the way just to sever his tendons and crush his bones – the way to rid someone of all his skill in kung fu. That much she could figure out.

Cheng Bi Yuan slowly raise his head. He knew his daughter has changed, but he didn’t expect her to have such intuition. Casually, he said, “You can make decisions around the house; be careful when you go sell things at the marketplace.” Slight worry flashed passed his eyes, he worried that others will realize they have mythical animals here.

He knew very well that if others discovered these mythical animals, they will never have peaceful days again. But the family needs money and they didn’t have anything else to sell. What options did he have?

“Mom, dad, I understand!”

After that was settled, Cheng Xiao Xiao stayed and chitchatted for a bit before she exited her parents’ house.

Woof woof woof woof…..

Cheng Xiao Xiao heard her dogs barking right before she was about to enter her house. She dashed toward the outside immediately.
