ch 151 - Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone 4 (2/2)

Ever since there were these iced-cubes, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally felt like she was drinking iced water back in the 21st century. This put her in a good mood, which was why she hadn’t been going to pick on those up in the mountains.

Soon after, Cheng Biyuan had finished washing up and rejoined Cheng Xiao Xiao. Before he said a word, he took the iced tea that his daughter had poured for him and drank it all up. That wasn’t quiet enough so he had three more before he put the tea cup down.

“Dad, do you have something to talk to Xiao Xiao about?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.

Cheng Biyuan was now completely relaxed. He looked back at his daughter and asked, “Xiao Xiao, the associate dean and his men have been in the mountains for 6 to 7 days already, right?”

“Yeah, today is the 7th day!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao, a lit surprised that her father brought them up.

“Seven days!” Cheng Biyuan had a funny look on his face and said, “Xiao Xiao, I think the amount of trees they have cut down should beenough for us. Do you think we should release them about now?”

“Release them?” Cheng Xiao Xiao did not agree right away, but mumbled to herself, “Hmmm, they have less and less stuff on them. Keeping them any longer would be like feeding them, that’s not worth it. If there’s nothing more we can get from them, we should kick them out!”

“Ahem!”

After hearing her words, Cheng Biyuan turned away, embarrassed. He had heard about his daughter’s actions. He wasn’t sure what to make of her aggressive stance, but also didn’t want to interfere, so he just pretended that he didn’t know.

Now that he heard it directly from her, he felt embarrassed by her. That was way too money-grabbing!

“Dad, why are you [fake] coughing. I wasn’t doing that for myself. I have my reasons, and they happened to have what we need. So I have to somehow get it from them!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao matter of factly.

Cheng Biyuan couldn’t agree with her viewpoint, but he noticed another issue immediately and asked, “Xiao Xiao, what was your reasons? Do you need dad’s help?”
