Third Uncle Cheng was drinking tea when he heard Cheng Su’s question, his hand holding the cup paused, and he hesitated a bit.
Cheng Su was sharp-eyed and immediately spotted Third Uncle’s dilemma. She said softly, "Third Uncle, I am your true niece, and here in Qing City, I am probably the closest person to you. If there is any difficulty or problem, please don’t keep it bottled up inside you. If there’s trouble, just talk about it, and we can solve it together."
Her words were grave, and Third Uncle Cheng almost laughed, saying, "You have filial piety, and your Third Uncle knows that. It’s not like you think. I have a good job, I eat well, yes, it’s a bit tiring, but my spirits are high. I get along with my coworkers, and there are no troubles!" His heart warmed at the thought. He had only two sons, but his elder brother’s daughter, though a niece, was treated like his own daughter. And besides, she was the only daughter in their branch of the Cheng family!
Thinking this, Third Uncle Cheng told himself that in the future he also had to educate his two sons to treat their cousin as their own sister and to protect her, to give her support so the Qi family wouldn’t look down upon her.
Cheng Su didn’t know what Third Uncle was thinking. Hearing him say it was not a problem, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what is it about?"
"Hasn’t your Elder Sister come back yet? I heard from Jisheng that she’s been home for several days now, right?" Third Uncle Cheng asked in a lowered voice.
Cheng Su was startled. Was it related to Elder Sister?
No, Third Uncle and Elder Sister didn’t have much to do with each other. An encounter would only involve a simple greeting, far from close.
Then, was it related to Jisheng?
Cheng Su was smart. As soon as Third Uncle Cheng asked about Elder Sister not being back, she immediately inferred that Jisheng was acting up in Elder Sister’s absence!
"Third Uncle, what have you heard or seen?" Cheng Su’s complexion darkened a bit.
