ch 90 – Expansion of The House; A Deal Was Made (3)

The Liu siblings carried a basket each and arrived at the largest vegetable field of the Cheng’s.

If the source of the Cheng’s mystical beasts was a mystery, then the Cheng’s vegetable garden was another mystery.

The Willow villagers could never figure out why the vegetables in the Cheng’s garden always seemed to be inexhaustible no matter how much they pick . Or why their farm animals (they were also mystical animals, but from the eyes of the villages, they thought they were ordinary farm animals) were also inexhaustible no many how many they slaughtered. They seem to always just replenish themselves.

Nobody could figure any of these out. Luckily, the villagers were well aware that these were the Cheng’s family secrets so even though they were curious, nobody dare to ask,

Over the last several months, the Cheng’s status in the villagers’ minds had changed gradually. Nobody dare treat them the same way they used to anymore.

Although most people knew better than to ask, these didn’t apply to Cheng Xiao Xiao’s two new maids. Yecao, the younger of one them, blinked her limpid eyes and asked with curiosity, “Miss, how did we group these vegetables? How come they are able to grow so quickly?”

“Oh, that’s simple, it was because we had soaked these land with our well water previously and now we water them daily with our well water. That’s why our vegetables tend to grow faster than what you would see normally!” replied Cheng Xiao Xiao casually.

“Oh, but why?” asked Yecao again, baffled.

Yesu, noticing that Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t seem to be displeased, stopped herself from interfering with her cousin’s questioning.

Cheng Xiao Xiao walked into the vegetable garden and put her basket down, “Because our well water is different. When a human drank it, they feel rejuvenated and rid them of the feeling of being tired; when we water the vegetables with them, they grow faster!”

“Why is it so amazing? How come my family’s well water doesn’t have the same effect?”

“Because ours is a mystical spring, and yours are not!”

“What is a mystical spring?”

Seeing that her cousin had no intention of stopping with her questionig, Yesu quickly tugged at her and said, “How do you come up with so many questions? Hurry up and help pick vegetables and stop slacking!”

“I am not slacking!” said Yecao with a pout.

Cheng Xiao Xiao, humored by the two sibling, said, “Okay, one of you on each side, pick all the vegetables!”

“Yes, miss!”

The two replied obediently, Cheng Xiao Xiao responded back to Yecao, “I can explain the mystical well to you now, but you won’t be able to fully understand it just yet. You will figure it out later on. For now, just remember that water from the mystical spring is of a better quality, okay?”

“Oh, okay, miss. I understood!”

Yecao has a more simple and straightforward personality and always spoke her mind. Quite the contrary, Yesu was older and remembering all the lessons from her parents and her grandfather, observe more of the difference in their statuses and was less casual with Cheng Xiao Xiao.

The three of them continued to chitchat as they picked away at the vegetable field. As for little Yecao’s question, Cheng Xiao Xiao answered what she could, anything she couldn’t explain she just muddle through them.

Right when they were busying themselves with the vegetable-picking, footsteps could be heard upfront. Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but to look up and she saw four to five women returning with the girls that left not too long ago.

“Young mistress, touble incomng!” laughed the little Yuteng as if she was looking forward for the drama to unfold.

Before she could respond, one of them already started shouting at her, “Xiao Xiao, you get out there. We need to talk!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up slowly and replied lightly when they got closer, “Shi da niang, what seems to be the matter?

“Xiao Xiao, are you looking down on me Shi da niang? Why did you take all the other girls except mine? Have I Shi da niang offended you before? Why did you have to say those threatening words and sent out second daughter home?”
