Sure enough, there was no further activity for the next two weeks, as if it had been swallowed up by a fog.
During this time, Cheng Zhi and the others continued as usual, planting vegetables in their space every day, and bringing some home to eat after a few days of harvest.
Everyone was always amazed when they saw those fresh fruits and vegetables.
When Cheng's parents saw this, they were incredulous. How could those fresh, green vegetable leaves withstand the wind and rain outside and grow so well?!
The way they looked at their daughter started to look strange.
Cheng Zhi felt uneasy sitting on the sofa, and Xiao Feiran, sitting next to her, also felt very uncomfortable.
She whispered to Cheng Zhi, "I feel like the way your aunt and uncle are looking at us is like they're looking at medieval witches, like they're about to interrogate us."
Cheng Zhi coughed twice and met her parents' gaze. "Dear Mom and Dad, can we stop watching?"
Cheng's mother held up a small bok choy. "I really can't help but look at you when you suddenly produce something like this. Did you two sneak out to farm in the middle of the night behind our backs?"
Cheng Zhi slapped her thigh. "Wow! Mom, you're so amazing! You guessed it!"
"..." This is clearly not a step up. Cheng's mother held the vegetables up to Cheng Zhi and said, "Cheng Zhi, I'll give you one more chance."
Danger! Danger! They called me by my full name!
Cheng Zhi froze instantly. Being called by her full name felt like a snake being held down by its vital spot. Cheng Zhi's mind raced, and in the end, she collapsed like a deflated balloon.
Xiao Feiran, who was standing next to Cheng Zhi, felt that Cheng Zhi's mother was staring at her so much that she kept nudging Cheng Zhi with her elbow to make her speak.
After a long pause, Cheng Zhi suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and swore, "These vegetables are absolutely grown by ourselves. We didn't steal or rob them. We have a clear conscience! If I utter even the slightest lie, may all the couples I ship in the future have a bad ending!"
Cheng's parents, who didn't understand, were speechless: "...Huh?"
Cheng Ye, who understood, exclaimed, "Wow?! That's ruthless?"
Cheng's mother poked Cheng Ye's face with a piece of bok choy and asked him what he meant.
Cheng Ye pondered for a long time, trying to figure out how to explain it, but couldn't come up with a suitable analogy.
I was so frustrated I was practically bald from scratching myself, but I never expected this.
Cheng's father couldn't wait for his explanation and had already taken the vegetables inside to cook.
Cheng's mother stopped pursuing the matter and waved her hand, "Do as you please, as long as you can guarantee that these weren't stolen or robbed, I won't worry about the rest."
After finishing her speech, Cheng's mother went back to her room to rest.
Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Feiran found this quite unbelievable. "That's all? Your aunt and uncle are too easy to talk to!"
Cheng Zhi proudly raised her head, "This is what they call good character. If I hadn't been obedient and honest all these years, I would probably be doomed today."
"puff!"
Cheng Ye in the dining room seemed to have heard a huge joke. "Sister, you can't talk big like this. Where on earth do you embody the words 'obedient and docile'?"
Xiao Feiran, as a friend, nodded in agreement and patted Cheng Zhi on the shoulder, "Indeed, what you said is too outrageous."
Cheng Zhi: "..." Why are they all siding with outsiders!
Cheng Zhi, who was attacked by both of them at the same time, did not retaliate for once. Seeing that his sister did not react, Cheng Ye wanted to test the waters, "Sisters, so how exactly did you get fresh vegetables and fruits? Mom and Dad are not here, so sneak me a peek?"
Cheng Zhi waved to Cheng Ye, signaling him to come over and listen.
Cheng Ye, lacking social experience, was unaware of his sister's wickedness and obediently went through with it.
The next second, I was almost deafened by Cheng Zhi's roar.
"You're an undercover agent! You think I don't know that?!"
After saying that, Cheng Zhi swaggered back to her room.
Xiao Feiran got up and patted Cheng Ye, who was still standing there in a daze, "Kid, be more careful. You've been tricked by your sister so many times and you still don't learn your lesson."
