Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Do they have some misunderstanding with Uncle Cheng? It’s one thing to scold me, but why are they scolding you too?” Xia Wan, seeing Cheng Mu’s annoyed expression, guessed that he might have done something to provoke Xia Jiang and Song Yan into cursing.
“You see, I take care of them with all my heart, and they don’t even appreciate it,” Cheng Mu became more and more angry. “They keep cursing all day long. The villagers hear it and think I am taking advantage of them or even abusing them!”
“I am so wronged!” Cheng Mu said, his eyes darting around.
Xia Wan clearly understood Cheng Mu’s purpose in coming here.
She said slowly, “Uncle Cheng, as you know, our family has already separated from my uncle’s.
“Although our family has opened our own store, you’ve seen that we are only having sales and discounts, hardly making any money.
“The money promised to you for taking care of my uncle and aunt was saved from our meager earnings.
“We really are willing but unable.”
Seeing Xia Wan not buying into his act, Cheng Mu was about to make some harsh statements when he heard Xia Wan continue. “My uncle and aunt must have just woken up, their minds are not yet clear.
“Give them some time, and they will naturally appreciate what Uncle Cheng has done for them.”
“Even so, with them waking up to curse every day, I can’t take care of them alone!” Cheng Mu was still discontented.
“Why don’t Uncle Cheng ask my uncle and aunt about the property left by Xia Ruts fiancé?” Xia Wan suggested kindly. “That way, Uncle Cheng wouldn’t have to be so troubled.”
Cheng Mu’s expression changed slightly, apparently he had already asked but didn’t get the answer he wanted.
Xia Wan slightly lowered her eyelids. “My uncle and aunt have been frugal all these years, they probably don’t want to use that money.
“However, for their health, Uncle Cheng might as well ask them again. It’s better than leaving some money behind and suffering physically.”
Listening to Xia Wan’s words, Cheng Mu fell into thought.
Xia Wan asked again. “The medicine from the hospital that I gave you last time, did you give it to them?”
Cheng Mu frowned slightly. “The efficacy of that medicine is not very good.”
“It can only keep them quiet for a few hours, but once it wears off, they start making noise again. It’s unbearable!”
Xia Wan appeared concerned for Cheng Mu. “I have some recipes that can calm people down. Uncle Cheng might want to try giving it to my uncle and aunt.” “Is it more effective than the hospital’s medicine?” Cheng Mu asked again.
“The effect might last longer, but you have to be careful with the dosage. Too much is bad for the health,” Xia Wan emphasized.
“Alright! I get it! Give me the recipe, and I’ll go back and prepare the medicine for them!” Cheng Mu was a bit impatient.
Xia Wan immediately took out paper and pen from her bag, wrote down a recipe, and handed it to Cheng Mu, saying politely. “You’ve had a hard time coming here, Uncle Cheng.”
“I’ve been neighbors with your uncle and aunt for decades, no need for formalities,” Cheng Mu put the recipe in his pocket, his eyes still flickering, showing no intention of leaving.
“Uncle Cheng has come a long way. Why don’t you come with me to the store and take some clothes back?” Xia Wan, sensing Cheng Mu’s intention, said, “My uncle and aunt also need some clothes to change into. Please take them back for them!”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Cheng Mu’s face lit up. “I knew Wan Wan is the most sensible!”
Xia Wan smiled. “Then come with me, Uncle Cheng!”
“Let’s go! We’ll take my tricycle!” Cheng Mu, beaming with joy, led Xia Wan to his rickety tricycle.
Xia Wan did not refuse and sat in the tricycle, letting Cheng Mu pedal hard in front.
Surprisingly, Cheng Mu knew the way to Xia Wan’s store quite well.
Xia Wan hopped off the tricycle and asked Cheng Mu with a smile. “Has Uncle
Cheng been here before?”
Cheng Mu’s face showed a slightly embarrassed smile. “I heard the village chief talking about your store a while ago, and I just happened to pass by… pass by…”
Xia Wan did not pursue further and opened the store door, inviting Cheng Mu inside.
At this time, only Xia Hai was busy in the store..
