Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 76. 5

As far as they are concerned, just being able to work at the Cheng’s were good enough. After all, they were gainfully employed at the Cheng’s.

While they were chitchatting, Liu Danhuang came rushing over. Cupping his hand at Cheng Biyuan, he said, “Master, Instructor, shi mei, a group of people had just arrived. They said they were here to visit Master and shi mu.

“To visit us? Did you ask them who they are?” Lately there had been lots of visitors like that, so none of them were particularly surprised!

Liu Danhuang had an odd look on his face. He nodded and said, “Master, one of the ladies with the group said she is shi mu’s sister!”

“What? Luo Yujie?”

Cheng Biyuan’s look darkened a little and he frowned. He was not excited that his sister-in-law came to visit. Quite the contrary, he wasn’t happy at all.

Zhou Jinjiang sat quitely to one side; this was the Cheng’s personal business, it would be  inappropriate for him to chime in.

Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows. She had more or less heard some stories about her relatives on her mother’s side. This aunt of hers was married to an elder of the Mingdong. But why were they here today?

Anyone with half a brain could figure that one out.

“Xiao Xiao, what do you think?

Cheng Biyuan couldn’t help but to ask his daughter’s opinion.

Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned a bit and then smiled, “Dad, they are already here. It’s not like we can tell them to leave. If mom ever finds out, you won’t be able to go back to bed!”

“You little brat!”

“HOHOHO, I think Xiao Xiao got you there!”

The two elders reacted simultaneously to her comment; even Liu Danhuang to the side couldn’t help but lifted up his head and casted a glance at her.

Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was clothed in all moon white color seemed even more clear and plain than normal; her outfit made her looked even more graceful and ethereal. Liu Danhuang continued to stare at her for a quite before he could turn his attention somewhere else.

Naturally his behavior did not escape the eyes of those that were present, especially Cheng Biyuan who had always known of his fondness for his daughter. He just pretended that he didn’t notice.

Zhou Jinjiang seemed to have noticed that as well, but since the father didn’t even say anything, it was definitely not his place to say anything.

“Danhuang, why don’t you show them in first? I will go get your shi mu!” said Cheng Biyuan.

“Yes, Master!”

Liu Danhuang turned and left.

After he had left, with a hint of smile Zhou Jinjiang looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao and teased, “Xiao Xiao, Liu Danhuang isn’t a bad kid, but he is just not quite there. I wonder what kind of ideal man is our Xiao Xiao looking for?”

Ideal man?

A random question, the handsome and unjust-looking face flashed in front of her eyes. She couldn’t help but shuddered, why did she think of that fool?

“Uncle Zhou, I will let you know as soon as I find him!” With that said, Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up right away and told her father, “Dad, I will go get mom!”

“Okay!” nodded Cheng Biyuan in respond.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao Xiao had disappeared outside the door, Zhou Jinjiang looked back over to Cheng Biyuan and asked, “How’s your relationship with the Gu’s now? If I remember correctly, Xiao Xiao had been betrothed to them?”

“Brother Zhou, you can forget about that. Xiao Xiao didn’t like the kid Junxian at all. The last time they met each other they were at each other’s throats. Xiao Xiao had made it abundantly clear that she will not marry into the Gu’s!” smiled Cheng Biyuan bitterly.

After pondering for a bit, Zhou Jinjiang said, “I don’t think the Gu’s will just let that go!”

“I made a promise to Xiao Xiao to let her made her own decisions on her own matters. There’s not much we can do here. By now you should be able to tell that even though little Xiao Xiao looks tender from the outside, she is actually quite stubborn!”

“Yeah, I wonder who she got that stubbornness from?”

The two didn’t lower their volume when they talked about her, even though Cheng Xiao Xiao had already left the living room, she still heard the entire conversation. But the conversation didn’t bother her at all.

She told Yesu, who had been following her, to tell her mother. Her big aunt….

Thinking about that term, Cheng Xiao Xiao’s look was a bit odd. “Big aunt” was not a good term, and she was afraid this big aunt who was coming to visit wasn’t any good character either.

She didn’t go get her mother herself because she had no interest in meeting their relatives. If she didn’t have such a close relationship with her mother, she wouldn’t even allow them to enter the Cheng’s residence!

Sure enough, when Mrs. Cheng heard that her older sister was visiting, she was so emotional that tears just streamed down her face. She took her younger daughter with her to greet her sister, and asked that her older daughter must be present as well.

Cheng Xiao Xiao just pretended she didn’t get the message and returned to her room to take a nap. She didn’t want to be bothered by that.

It didn’t take long before Cheng Xiao Xiao realize that her plan to avoid her relative was short-lived. When they were hosting dinner, she was forced to be present by her mother.

“Yo! So this is Xiao Xiao huh? She is quite elegant and looks so much like you, Yuqin. She’s quite pretty, quite good!”

As soon as she walked her, Cheng Xiao Xiao was greeted by her big aunt’s high pitch voice and she saw a chubby, middle-aged woman in a bright red brocade dress in front of her. If her look didn’t somewhat resemble that of her mother’s, she’d think she was but a bad replica.

She looked too dissimilar to her mother. One is an elegant, noble woman, the other looked like a mean and fat matchmaker, it was difficult to think of the two of them as sisters.

“Xiao Xiao, quick! Come over, this is your big aunt!” introduced Mrs. Cheng tenderly.

Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up slowed and bowed slightly, “Mom, big aunt!”

“Good, good. Xiao Xiao is such a nice girl!”

Her little beady eyes looked Cheng Xiao Xiao up and down. Luo Yujie’s chubby face was filled with a smile. She reached out and dragged Cheng Xiao Xiao over and introduced her to the man next to her, “Xiao Xiao, he is your big uncle Tian Fusheng, he is also an elder of Dongming Sect!”

“Greetings, big uncle!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao showing neither friendliness nor hostility.

All she wanted to do is to shake off that hand that has her in a tight grip. Naturally she was more than capable of shaking it lose, but she put up with it for her mother’s sake.

Tian Fusheng’s smile was a bit stiff. He nodded slightly at Cheng Xiao Xiao in return.

Luo Yujie had no intention to let go of Cheng Xiao Xiao. Still gripping onto her, she shouted to the ones behind her, “Tian Jiang, Tian Feng, Tian Xiu, Tian Li, c’mon over already!”

The four of them were four youngsters of a range of ages, who got up reluctantly when they were called out. One could tell they were Luo Yujie’s children just from their names. The two young men were around seventeen, eighteen. They were quite decent looking, but they have an arrogance like they were above everybody else. The two girls were around thirteen or fourteen, they were quite elegant in their own ways. It was quite unfortunate that they body shape resembled that of their mother’s, not the type that would be popular with handsome boys.

“Xiao Xiao, look, they are your (male) cousins, Tian Jiang and Tian Feng. The other two are your (female) cousins, Tian Xiu and Tian Li. You should hang out together more often in the future!”

Luo Yujie introduced her kids excitedly.
