Chapter 209- Moving Into The New Resident; Bending The Will of Heaven (12)
At this very moment, she also intentionally let out some of her martial master qi. It made everyone present turned pale and their bodies trembled.
“You want income, you need to earn it with hard work. You can’t just get it for free, don’t you know? Us, the Cheng’s, can’t just let you walk all over us. We are generous, that doesn’t mean you can bully us; we let you take advantage of us, that doesn’t mean we are idiots. One should know when to be contended; otherwise, it will only bring about troubles!”
When she got to here, Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly withheld all her qi and looked over at the old patriarch, “Grandpa Liu, what do you say?”
“Xiao Xiao is right. The Cheng’s can decide who they want to keep and who they don’t. Right now, the Cheng’s have been treating us very nicely and we are all aware of that. Of course, we must know when enough is enough!”
When he spoke his last sentence, he looked over all the ones who were there.
Everybody were adults; naturally they understood what the two of them were saying. That, along with the pressure created intentionally by Cheng Xiao Xiao, made these normally unreasonable village women dare not say another word.
Seeing that everybody are silent, Cheng Xiao Xiao lightly drummed on the table. Immediately servants carrying small baskets streamed into the room and placed one in front of each woman before they retreated.
“They have been trained here for a month. Even though there are not salary, but we are giving you each 20 eggs as compensation. You can bring them back with you!
The village women, who were already too frighten to make another fuss, now had even less reasons and excuses to do so. Certainly, they do not have the rights to force anything on the Cheng’s.
They weren’t exactly sure about the Cheng’s current standing, but they also weren’t dumb enough to go and smash eggs against rocks. They at least have the senses to know when to retreat.
Under the pressure from Cheng Xiao Xiao, they obediently took back their kids. Of course, each and every single one of them made sure they brought the eggs with them.
After seeing them out, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked out and saw her father discussing with Patriarch Liu on their moving date. It should be within the next couple of days.
Her immediate objective right now was to look for a location for growing medicinal herbs that was both slightly hidden to most, but also allow those who tried hard enough to find. Then she’d be able to start selling herbs legitimately.
As the date of trading coming closer, she wasn’t going to let that opportunity get by.
Slowly walking into the bamboo forest, Cheng Xiao Xiao summoned little Yuteng. Little Yuteng sat on Cheng Xiao Xiao’s shoulder and said before she was even asked, “Young Mistress, you want a location for your medicinal herb? That couldn’t be easier. What about the unplowed field behind the bamboo forest? We can certainly convert that.”
“Behind the bamboo forest? Isn’t that just a field of rocks? How are we going to transform that?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao had walked over there once or two. At the time she thought the several mu of unplowed field would soon be taken over by the bamboos. She didn’t expect little Yuteng to suggest using that area for anything else.
“Hehe, Young Mstiress, transforming the composition of the soil there couldn’t be easier for me.”
“Good! I like hearing that!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was ecstatic. She jumped up and ran through the bamboo forest and arrived at the unplowed land at no time.
“Okay, it’s all you now!”
“No problem!”
Little Yuteng flew up. With a wave of her little hand, the entire field of weeds that have been growing out of control dried up immediately. Right after that, they started to burn.
FOOM!
In no time flat all the weeds had turned into ashes. Whatever that need to had turned into ashes; anything that should stay remained untouched. Little Yuteng controlled that skillfully.
