ch 48.1 - Village Women Came to Visi (2/2)

After breakfast, the villagers came again. Other than the four that came the day before, there was another familiar face – Liu Danhang. He came with the villagers.

“Danhang, you really want to join us?” Cheng Biyuan was a bit surprised.

Liu Danhang sneaked a glance at Cheng Xiao Xiao and nodded, “Yes, Uncle Cheng, I will work hard. Don’t you worry!”

“Um, okay. Why don’t you give it a try. If you couldn’t handle it, let me know!” Cheng Biyuan was already martial spiritualist, nothing could escape his eyes. But he decided to let him stay for now.

Liu Danhang smiled like he was relieved. Quickly he said, “Thank you, Uncle Cheng!”

“No problem. We appreciate you coming to help us out. Let’s go. Let’s heard to the well!”

The group exited the back of the house. Even the young ones went to check out the actions. Only Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Xiao Xiao were left at the house.

“Mom, I will go pick some vegetables from the field!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was about to step out with her basket.

Mrs. Cheng stopped her on her way out, “Wait, Xiao Xiao!”

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

“I will go with you. Let’s go!”

“Oh!” Cheng Xiao Xiao followed her mother to the vegetable fields. She knew her mother had something to say to her, so she couldn’t help but asked, “Mom, is something wrong?”

“Xiao Xiao, nothing serious. We have enough food for the time being, just not a lot of money. There are some necessities that we need to get. Maybe it’s time for your dad to take a trip to the marketplace!”

“You are right. Last time dad was about to go to the marketplace but got sidetracked. We should make a trip the next day or two!” Being reminded, Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered all the inventory piling up in the warehouse. She felt troubled.
