Chapter 554: 554
554 – Crux of The Problem; An Embarrassed Person (2)

Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell what her mother was thinking from her look . “Mom, now you see what I am trying to get at? Yes, that’s the reason that I don’t like her . ”

“But…” Mrs . Cheng was still a little baffled . “But she is your grandmother, even if she is… . ”

“So what?”

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t care about that . “She had the ability to help out you and dad; yet she had never once extended an olive branch to us over the past ten plus years . Back when we were at the Cheng’s, at least we had food on the table and Dad could shelter us some .

“Ever since we have left Capital City, we had nothing . Had she done anything to help us out? I remembered that Dad had been injured a few times, right? Back then, nevermind the money to get a doctor for Dad, our whole family was starving . Finally, it was the villagers of Willows that had helped us out, right?

“The Luo’s of Yan is a prominent family . Nevermind about hundreds of thousands of taels, they must have at least tens of thousands of taels . But, Mom, had they given you even one tael over the years? If we weren’t so lucky, our whole family would have died of starvation by now, would you agree? A year and a half ago, Dad was handicapped and I was critically injured . Mom, had I not have the dimension, where do you think we will be today?

“We had been here at Willows for 3-4 years’ time . And, Mom, you have received letters from grandmother more than one . Do you really think that she had no idea what kind of situation we were in? Can you really believe that? No, I don’t buy it!”

“… . ” Mrs . Cheng was completed stunned . Nobody knew whether she had truly overlooked all that or she simply didn’t want to think about it .

Now that her daughter had brought it all up, Mrs . Cheng turned pale . She clenched her fist and pressed it against her chest . She opened her mouth some but she couldn’t find any words .

Looking at her, Cheng Xiao Xiao let out a deep, long sigh . Deep down inside, she didn’t want to bring all these out into the open . “Mom, as you have said earlier . If the same thing were to happen to Abacus and I, you will be willing to spend every penny of this family to help us out . Back in the days…

“I don’t believe the Luo’s will need to even take out half of their assets to help us get by . Several hundreds to a thousand taels would have been enough to help us out . At least we wouldn’t have to starve .

“Which is why, Mom, I like Uncle and I am willing to talk to him . I will even talk to that heartless grandfather of mine . He might be heartless, but he has principles . He meant well for his children . It’s just…

“It’s just the one that could help us but never did that I can’t get over . I don’t want to say more about this . Whatever her reasons were, I don’t like it . ”

Now that Cheng Xiao Xiao had laid it all out, Mrs . Cheng finally got the answer that she had wanted . She didn’t try to defend Old Mrs . Luo . After all, as the person who had lived through it, she knew even better what the days were like for them .

Without saying much more, Cheng Xiao Xiao sat with her mother for a while before she left the main quarter .

On a certain official path in Jing Zhou!

A caravan of dozens of individuals of all ages including several horse-drawn carriages and dozens of horses moved forward slowly . They looked haggard, liked they had been through some major event; each and everyone of them appeared dispirited .

These were the Cheng’s leaving Capital City .

All the servants had left . Ten or so of their members were lost in the battle . Now, with only dozens of them remaining, one of their important and center figures who was also the leader of this group was none other than Cheng Yutang .
