Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Ying was shocked. So, they were Cheng Yang’s uncle and aunt.

“Why are you outside?” A voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Xiao Ying turned around and saw that Cheng Yang, who had already left, had returned.

The moment the man saw Cheng Yang, he said in excitement, “Nephew, Uncle is here.”

Cheng Yang looked at them with an unreadable expression and said after a while, “Come in.”

He led them into the house.

In the living room, Xiao Ying and Cheng Yang were sitting on one side and the family of four on the other.

Xiao Ying understood from their words that this man was called Cheng Jianguo, the woman was called Wang Xiaoli, the older daughter was called Cheng Fang and the younger son was called Cheng Yong.

They had come to look for Cheng Yang because they couldn’t stay in the countryside anymore. There was a flood in the countryside, and all the crops in the land had been washed away. They couldn’t afford food anymore, so they came to seek refuge with Cheng Yang.

Wang Xiaoli’s eyes quickly scanned the decorations in the house, and her eyes carried undisguised greed as she said, “Nephew, you’re so rich. Just giving a bit will be enough for us to eat. Our family doesn’t plan to leave after coming here this time. We’ll stay here with you.”

Before Cheng Yang could speak, Cheng Jianguo instructed, “Nephew, find a school for Xiao Yong and Xiao Fang. Make sure it’s a good school. I heard that you have many noble schools here. You can’t treat us badly.”

Xiao Ying was speechless. Was this family preparing to cling to Cheng Yang? She looked at Cheng Yang, but his expression was still indifferent, making it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.

He said, “Then stay.”

Xiao Ying was shocked. This was not his style at all.

Cheng Jianguo and Wang Xiaoli were naturally overjoyed. They happily started to go through the house looking for the rooms they wanted to stay in.

Cheng Yang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Xiao Ying carefully moved to his side and said, “Brother, what is the meaning of this?”

Cheng Yang stroked her head and said, “Don’t worry too much. Leave this to me.”

Xiao Ying was stunned. Why did these words give her a bad feeling?

After a while, the family of four returned to the living room. Under Wang Xiaoli’s nudging, Cheng Jianguo said, “Nephew, we’ll stay in the middle room.”

Xiao Ying immediately said, “That’s Brother’s room.”

But Cheng Yang quickly said, “Sure.”

Only then did Cheng Jianguo smile and nod. He looked at Xiao Ying with an unfriendly gaze and said, “What does a little girl like you know? Don’t interfere in the adults’ matters.”

Xiao Ying glared at him and was about to speak when she was stopped by Cheng Yang. She glanced at him and became even more puzzled.

Cheng Jianguo looked even more smug. “You should listen to your elders. Otherwise, it’s, it’s—”

Wang Xiaoli finished for him, “Heinous treason.”

Cheng Jianguo: “Yes, it’s heinous treason.”

The corners of Xiao Ying’s mouth twitched. He could not even speak an idiom properly, yet he had the face to spout nonsense here.

Cheng Yang had extraordinary patience with this family, which made them even greedier.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ying was woken up by a commotion. She opened the door in frustration and saw that it was indeed the family of four arguing in the living room.

After Cheng Yang’s unlimited indulgence these few days, this family was getting more and more impolite. They even dared to discuss how to get money from Cheng Yang in front of her.

Xiao Ying couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Uncle, Auntie, can you guys be quieter in the morning?”

Cheng Jianguo and his wife turned to look at them. Wang Xiaoli’s sharp voice sounded. “It’s you who woke up late, okay? How dare you talk to us like that?”

Xiao Ying looked at the time and said, “It’s only six in the morning.”

“So what if it’s six o’clock? Look at you, waking up so late.. In our countryside, someone as old as you would already be working in the fields at this time,” Wang Xiaoli said immediately.
