Cheng Xiao Xiao followed his mother into the kitchen. Breakfast was already prepared, Madam Cheng stood beside the stove and looked at her daughter who had the ability to "turn stones into gold" attentively. He had mixed emotions along with a bit of worry.
Madam Cheng's appearance made Cheng Xiao uncomfortable. He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, is something wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Xiao Yong …. " Mistress Cheng's lips twitched. He would say something but stopped. After he calmed down, he sighed, "No, nothing. Bring the porridge and let's have breakfast!"
"Mom, are you worried that people will gossip when they see our growth?" Cheng Xiao Xiao could not think of anything else that might have been on his mother's mind.
The arm of Madam Cheng who wanted to reach out to the bread stopped in midair. He slightly shook his head, "No, I'm not worried about that. Others don't see how things are produced, there's not much they can say about that. I'm worried about you. The fact that you can do such a thing, will it negatively affect you?"
"Mom, don't worry! Xiao Xiao will be fine" Cheng Xiao Xiao was touched and tried to comfort his mother.
Maybe he's reading too many fantasy novels. It never occurred to him that having dimensions would negatively impact his health. He had always thought of it as a benefit to a transmigrator and had never thought too much of it.
Madam Cheng was still looking at her seriously. He sighed lightly and patted his daughter's hand, "Xiao Xiao, you don't understand. People can be dangerous. Just remember, do not share your secrets with others, including your brother. Otherwise, if just a little leak, we would be in great danger!"
"Mom, I get it. I'm not gonna babble about it." Cheng Xiao Xiao was not a naive little girl. He understood that having this kind of ability might be able to bring about great trouble.
"God has given us blessings. I don't want this to cause us any problems. Fortunately you're an adult, so I'm not too worried. You've done so much for this family!"
"Mom, please don't feel that way. We are family!" Cheng Xiao Xiao did not like his mother to think that way, it was not like family. He suddenly recalled something he had been thinking about last night and he frowned.
"What's up, Xiao Xiao?"
"Mom, why didn't mother bring the chicken to Patriarch Liu a little and ask him to sign the farm to us? So can we avoid conflict in the future?"
"You mean." Madam Cheng did not immediately know what Cheng Xiao Xiao was trying to say.
Cheng Xiao Xiao explained, "Mom, although we have been living here for the past few years, but the land still belongs to Willow Village. Now we farm and raise livestock, when our livelihoods get better and better, if the Willow Villagers become envious and want the land back, we will not have any rights to this land without any agreement with Patriarch Liu.
"Ugh, I don't think so. We've been living here for a few years, why would anyone argue this with us?" On Madam Cheng's mind, this was an empty land cultivated by her husband, of course it was theirs. Why would anyone argue that with them?
Reading his mother's mind, Cheng Xiao Xiao added, "Mom, maybe not everyone, but there will definitely be greedy people out there. In addition, as we get better and better, there will be people who want to cause trouble. I think we should plan and prepare for the situation before it all happens. Otherwise, we will be powerless when that happens.
"Yes, Xiao Xiao you are right!" Madam Cheng was silent for a moment, she was not a stupid woman. He realized the greed and cruelty of others. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in this place right now.
Thinking of that, he agreed that it was not a bad idea to have Patriarch Liu provide something in writing to them. He nodded, "Alright, I'll make a trip there after breakfast!"
"Mom, let's eat breakfast!"
"All right!" Cheng Xiao Xiao started to prepare for breakfast. Suddenly he remembered that the fish in the dimension had matured, his smile brightened and said, "Mom, the fish in the dimension has matured. We can eat fried fish for lunch!"
"Good! We haven't eaten fish in a long time!"
"I'm sure my sister will love it!"
"Of course they like, they like everything!"
After breakfast, Madam Cheng walked into the house and had the support of Cheng Biyuan and happily went to Willow Village with a chicken and a rabbit.
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at his generous mother and shook his head. It was not that he was unwilling to give one additional rabbit; he simply felt that they should continue to say low key and not attract unwanted attention.
What he did not know was that their two trips to the market had already attracted attention.
A few hours later, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had been waiting the entire time, finally saw his mother return.
He noticed that Madam Cheng looked angry as well as happy. Confused, he asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"A little bit!" Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "But it's resolved. Patriarch Liu accepted our proposal. After all, no one from Willow village spent any time cultivating this land. It's vacant land until we cultivate it so he doesn't mind it too much."
"Did anyone else say anything?" Cheng Xiao Xiao was not too surprised.
Madam Cheng slightly nodded and began to recount the event.
Actually, when Madam Cheng was heading to Patriarch Liu's house with a chicken and a rabbit, she was immediately spotted by the Willow villagers. Not only were they surprised by his generosity (from the perspective of the villagers, a chicken and a rabbit were quite a big gift), but they were even more curious about the purpose of his visit.
It brought some gossipy women to Patriarch Liu's house when Madam Cheng had just come up with the idea of moving the fields to them. Under the shouts of these women, Patriarch Liu hesitated to accept his proposal immediately. After all, all Willow Village properties belonged to the villagers. Patriarch Liu can't be too cruel about it.
Even though Madam Cheng is a smart woman. He could not argue with this gossiping woman. However, when An Xiao Hung started raising Cheng Xiao Xiao, Madam Cheng discovered what she wanted to achieve.
He was so angry that his face turned red. It was not that she looked down on the villagers, but they attacked her daughter with the most disgusting language of all languages, all because her daughter made them lose face two days ago.
Madam Cheng who had always been a protective mother exploded and scolded them until they fell silent. When it came to reason, none of these uneducated women could meet Madam Cheng's request. All they know is foul language.
Finally, Patriarch Liu, who had always been fond of the Cheng family, was fed up with these women who cornered Madam Cheng and firmly promised to transfer ownership of the fields and would accompany him to complete the paper work the next day.
After Cheng Xiao Xiao finished listening to his story, he was furious. But there was nothing he could do to this unreasonable and gossipy woman. He resigned himself to saying, "Mom, let's just ignore it for now. If they really try to come and cause trouble, we can handle it!"
