Chapter 7.1

“Let Xiao Xiao make the call!”

That was the suggestion from Cheng Bi Yuan, and Cheng Xiao Xiao ran away under her father’s piercing gaze.

After that, everybody in the family was tending to their own duties, and Cheng Xiao Xiao’s was to boil the herbs.

Dinner was plentiful and everybody was delighted, especially the two brothers. They’ve each had two big bowls of rice.1 Happily they’ve slapped their protruding stomachs and laughed.

At night, only the parent’s house was dimly lit by a candle, the four kids had all retired into their own houses.

Cheng Xiao Xiao entered the dimension. She harvested everything she could. She planted more white radishes and Chinese cabbage. She didn’t return from the dimension right away like she always has, but she sat in her cottage and was in a state of mental torpor.

She was struggling whether to tell her parents the truth. It would make it much easily to produce stuff from the dimension if she comes clean.

It’s not like she could keep telling them more animals were appearing in the cave.

It was only going to get harder and harder to explain away going forward and the longer this goes on, the more difficult it would be to tell them the truth. She was probably better off looping them in now, and they could help with the situations as well.

But how could she explain it in a way that they would find acceptable? Cheng Xiao Xiao smacked herself on the forehead, and helplessly got up.

The next day, Cheng Xiao Xiao used cooking medicine for their father as an excuse to not go up to the mountains. She sent her brothers and sister off to pick vegetables by the river.

When she saw her mother finis.h.i.+ng cooking the herbs and brought the into the father’s house, she followed her inside. Silently she watched her fed him the medicine.

A moment later!

He finished an entire bowl of medicine. Cheng Xiao Xiao walked over by the bed and lightly she asked, “Dad, how are you feeling? Any better after the herbs?”

“Much!” Said the much better looking Cheng Bi Yuan, even the way he looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao had softened.

Mrs. Cheng put down the bowl and sat on the side of the bed. Smiling, she said, “Xiao Xiao, last night your dad said he has been feeling much better and the pain has lessened. Looks like the herbs you picked had really helped.”

Cheng Xiao Xiao tried to force a smile but failed. She merely nodded instead.

Her expression did not escape Cheng Bi Yuan He looked intently at her, then nonchalantly asked, “Xiao Xiao, something on your mind?”

“I….” Under her parents’ inquisitive looks, she didn’t know where to begin.

Mrs. Cheng was a little bit surprised, she pulled her daughter next to her and smiled tenderly, “Silly kid, what can’t you share with your own parents? No matter what, you are still our great daughter.”

But I am not your real daughter!

Feeling a lot of mixed emotions, Cheng Xiao Xiao lowered her head.

Back then, she was an orphan. Ever since her grandmother had pa.s.sed away, even though some kind soldier had been providing her with allowances and tuition, but she had never met this person. She was kind of raised by everybody in the village.

Now, she has parents. In the two weeks that she has been here, this family had grew on her. And she had fallen in love with this home that was filled with warmth and happiness.

“Xiao Xiao, your mom was right. We are a family, you can tell us anything.” Cheng Bi Yuan had an inkling what she wanted to talk about.

Naturally, he has been curious. If it looked like she was going to share her secret, he was certainly going to give her that small push that she needed.

She looked into her parents’ eyes and tried to calm herself. After a slight paused, she started, “Dad, mom, there were no chickens or rabbits in the cave.”

“What?!” Mrs. Cheng exclaimed.

Cheng Bi Yuan didn’t not have too much of a reaction. He continued to look at his daughter standing in front of him, waiting for her further explanation.

“This…. ” Mrs. Cheng looked at her daughter, then at the man on the bed. She was confused, “This… exactly what has been going on, Xiao Xiao?”

After all, Mrs. Cheng was quite a sophisticated woman, once she calmed down, she had noticed something fishy had been going on, and the key laid with her daughter.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, but didn’t explain right away, she gently asked, “Dad, Mom, you still remember how I had lost consciousness about half a month ago?”

“Of course,” replied Mrs. Cheng right away.

Cheng Bi Yuan didn’t vocalize his answer, but you could tell from his look that he, too, remembered.

“Dad, mom, ever since I had regained consciousness, I’ve lost a lot of my past memories, but I have also gained something. Something extra in my consciousness, a little dimension. One that allows me to grow vegetables and raise farm animals. And that’s where all the white radishes, chickens, and rabbits came from.”

“For real?!”

Mrs. Cheng turned pale, she looked up and down her daughter and asked worriedly, “Xiao Xiao, how do you feel? Any other discomfort? How did this happen? What if it has negative effect on your body? Oh G.o.d, why is this happening….”

The disturbed Mrs. Cheng went on rambling, she was both worried and scared. It wasn’t just her, even Mr. Cheng from the bed turned slightly pale, and had a look of amazement.

He had thought about many explanation, but nothing so out there – a dimension in her consciousness?

Allowed her to grow vegetables? And raise farm animals?

As knowledgeable as he was, he had never heard about anything like this before. He had never heard of anything called a ‘dimension’, and exactly how did it happen inside a human body?!

His frown deepened more and more. Suddenly his eyes twinkled, as though he had recalled something. There were sparkles in his eyes.

“Mom, I am fine. See?” Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell that Mrs. Cheng was on the brink of crying. She felt both touched and helpless.

She didn’t wait for a response from her mother before she continued, “Mom, you shouldn’t worry. This dimension is a blessing for us. Don’t worry, if it will hurt me, it would have happened already.”

“Yuqin (Mrs. Cheng’s name), listen to Xiao Xiao, this is indeed a blessing from a higher power. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our family to survive.”

“Ye…..” Mr.s Cheng wiped away her tears, then looked at her daughter and nodded slightly, “Ye is right. We will be much better off with Xiao Xiao’s spell-casting ability.”

Spell-casting?

Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure whether she should disagree with the idea of  “spell-casting”. Perhaps, the fact that she could farm and raise farm animals inside a dimension was the equivalent of spell-casting to her mother.

In any case, it wasn’t like she could explain transmigrating with QQ Farm in any other way, so why bother to disagree with any kind of labeling?

After some brief explanation of the farm to satisfy the curiosity of her parents, Cheng Xiao Xiao produced some white radishes, chicken, and rabbits from the warehouse.

After Mr. and Mrs. Cheng had seen how their daughter could just produce these items from thin air, Mrs. Cheng now strongly believed that her daughter had gained the ability to cast spells.

“Xiao Xiao, you said you can harvest every 8 hours?” asked Cheng Bi Yuan.

“Yes, dad.”
