ch 92 - Expansion of The House; A Deal Was Made (5)
What. The. Hell?
While this might be the truth, Cheng Xiao Xiao still felt unjust. The words came only from An Hung niang, but judging from the looks of the other da niang and aunties, they all had the same idea!
It was after a long while before Cheng Xiao Xiao finally calmed down and said to them, “Fellow da niang and aunties. Maybe we should be upfront about how things will be handled. As each family might have different thoughts, I will treat each case differently. Why don’t we do this? Why don’t you all go home and discuss with your family members how long will your kids be staying at the Cheng’s. Once we have that settled, we will provide each of you different benefits!
“For example, we can divide them into long-term and short-term. Long-term and short-term naturally will not have the same benefit, and they will learn different things at the Cheng’s. I will bring these items up in front of the patriarch in a couple of days so get it all cleared out. What do you think?”
“Well….”
The few village women exchanged their looks. They knew full well that what Cheng Xiao Xiao said was the truth. Except for An Hung niang, who straight up said, “Why in the next couple of days? Why can’t we get it all settled right now? You want me to feed her for two more days? Seriously!”
“An da niang, if you don’t like this arrangement, feel free to go talk to the patriarch!”
After saying that, Cheng Xiao Xiao ignored her and went back into the field to pick her vegetables.
“You!!” An Hung niang was so angry that her face was beet red and said to the ones next to her, “Shi di niang, look at that attitude of hers! That’s no way to treat one’s elders! This is outrageous!”
“Alright, alright, An Hung niang, why don’t you stop shouting for the time being and follow Xiao Xiao’s arrangement. Let’s go home first today!”
“Hrm! I should never have came. Now I am even more pissed that I was before!”
The village women took their daughters and left.
