Transmigration with QQ Farm ch 18.1 – Scolding the Shrew
Cheng Xiao Xiao certainly did not ask for this.
Unfortunately, Hung niang wasn’t going to let them go so easily. She lifted her chin proudly and gave them a sidelong look filled with contempt, “Listen, the two of you. You think just because you are fair looking you can look down on us poor people? I’ve heard that your dad was beaten up. You guys can’t even afford to buy food. You really think you can marry into a wealthy family. Hah! That is hilarious!”
Even Cheng Xiao Xiao was upset by the vicious remarks but before she could say anything, little Lan Lan shouted again, “An da niang1, that’s just gibberish. We have lots of money and bought lots of stuff. We now have meat and white rice every day. You are the one who can’t afford to eat, I hate you…..”
The crowed didn’t expect that rebuttal from little Lan Lan. They all felt that was unfanthomable, nor did anyone believe that could be true. Everybody more or less had an idea of the situation that the Cheng family was in.
Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned, she didn’t feel right to announce their current situation publicly.
“You have money? Eating meat every day? And white rice”?” Hung niang snickered, “That’s too good to be true. Did the money fall from the sky? I didn’t see you guys wearing expensive jewelries. If you are going to lie, you should at least make up something more believable!”
“I am not lying!”
Little Lan Lan was flustered. She wanted to say more, but someone walked out from the crowd right at this moment and attracted everyone’s attention.
It was Liu Danhang noticing they were Cheng Xiao Xiao and her sister and he had heard the entire conversation. He face was beet red. He looked at the cold and silent Cheng Xiao Xiao and the flustered little Lan Lan. He looked like he wanted to say something. His mouth moved a bit, but he did say a word after all.
He turned and still flushed, said to Hung niang, “Da niang, you can stop making fun of her. Look, people are already gathering to watch the drama.”
“Oh, you silly. Da niang was doing this for you. Hrm, you should stop thinking about her. She would never care about someone like you. But don’t worry, da niang will find you someone prettier. Look, their whole family are liars. You don’t need someone like that!” Rudely, Hung niang shouted.
That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t remain silent any longer, coldly she said, “You treat others like how you want to be treated. As the old saying goes, a woman with a long tongue loves to gossip. They spread what is not true. They could not tell truth from lies. They aim to create rumors and spread them and create drama. They make up stories that are not true and place blame on the innocents. Their behaviors are abhorrent and will be punished for their sins after their death. Hrm!”
After she finished, she bowed to Zhou Yu Niang and left with her sister without looking at anyone else again.
Everybody there was dumbfounded. They were all illiterate and could barely write their own names. They couldn’t understand the highly literate speech from Cheng Xiao Xiao. They caught a couple words here and there, and figured it was something bad.
Hung niang was so angry hercomplexion turned red and then white. She stared at the back of the two girls and stomped her feet and scolded, “Oh you slut, you couldn’t just speak human speech? You didn’t think I could understand you? I knew you called me a shrewd and said I’ll go to hell, right….”
“That’s enough. Control yourself, you do look like a shrewd right now. You were the one who started this with them, have you no shame?”
With an unhappy look, Cheng Xiao Xiao could hear both Hung naing and the Patriarch Liu’s words from afar. She black listed Hung niang in her mind.

niang was such an awful person!” Little Lan Lan was still upset at the exchange.“Understood, big sister!” Replied little Lan Lan obediently, then she asked, “Big sister, do you like Danhang ge?”
Ugh….
Even kids her age want to ask about her love life, corner Cheng Xiao Xiao’s quivered a bit, she looked her little sisters clear, round eyes and didn’t want to hide anything from her, so she said, “No!”
“Oh….” Little Lan Lan nodded and has a look of understanding. Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure whether she should laugh or cry from her sister’s expression, so she reached out and rubbed on her head.
The two of them continued to walk toward home. Little Lan Lan, holding Cheng Xiao Xiao’s hand, asked, “Big sister, why was it that Hung niang and the others don’t believe that we are eating rice and meat at home?”
Little Lan Lan couldn’t figure this one out. In her mind, she had spoken the truth so others should believe her, but everyone else looked at them in disbelief.
Cheng Xiao Xiao froze a bit over this question. Suddenly, that reminded her of an bigger issue. If they continuously sell the items she obtained from the dimension, it’s a matter of time before others ask about the source of the animals and rice.
If they weren’t able to provide a reasonable excuse, she worried that she would bring out bigger trouble.
Both her and the parents had completely overlooked this fact.
Cheng Xiao Xiao considered it lucky that her sister just reminded her of that. They need to figure out someone quickly.
After they have arrived and had dinner, and the sibling were out playing, Cheng Xiao Xiao and her mother both appeared in the father’s house.
After having the medicines for a few days, the badly injured Mr. Cheng was starting to look better. He was pale like ice as he was a while ago, even his saddened eyes brightened up a little.
After seeing his wife and daughter both appearing in his house at the same time, he cast a glance at his daughter and asked, “Xiao Xiao, is something wrong?”
“No, nothing is wrong, just thought of an issue that I want to bring up to the two of you,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
Mrs. Cheng, who was standing nearby, looked gloomy. She looked over at her elegant daughter an sighed sadly. Her younger daughter had also told her about what had transpired in Willow Village, of course she was worried.
Of course, she was also annoyed at the shrewd An Xiao Hung who was trying to spread rumors for no reason and causing her daughter to be distressed.
Mr. Cheng had not caught up on what had happened so he was curious about what his daughter had to say. He instructed his daughter directly, “What’s the problem, just tell us, we will figure something out together.”
“Dad, mom, here’s the issue, right now we are mainly selling the rice and animals from the dimension. On top of that, we sell them by the dozens. Xiao Xiao2 worries that at this rate we will attract unwanted attention. It will be a matter of time when others suspect that we have some kind of treasure or special ability if we don’t grow chickens and rabbits and have some fields. Xiao Xiao thinks that we should figure out a way to explain these away should anyone come and check us out.” Looking solemn, Cheng Xiao Xiao lightly revealed what was on her mind.
“You nailed it, Xiao Xiao. Both your mom and I had forgotten about this problem!” A beam of light shot out of Cheng Bi Yuan’s eyes. With all seriousness, he said, “We will certain bring out troubles to ourselves if we keep this up!”
