Chapter 70: Going Home

Cheng Feng has three sons in his family; the third son has high potential, and Cheng Feng intends to mold him into a Martial Artist.

As for Cheng Shu, being Cheng Feng's eldest brother, he is also the candidate Cheng Feng tacitly assumes will be able to stay by their parents' side. Cheng Shu's importance goes without saying, so the ten taels Cheng Feng set aside at home for this marriage are naturally of vital importance.

As for the Martial Dao, it can only be delayed slightly; after all, it is already a bit late for the eldest brother to start practicing martial arts now. However, after asking his master, he learned that if there are sufficient resources, one can forcibly elevate a person; at the very least, they can reach Skin Refining, but for Blood Refining, one must consume Great Medicine.

The price of Great Medicine is also quite formidable; the minimum is five hundred taels per stalk, and even then, there is demand but no supply.

In order to make it in time for his eldest brother's wedding, Cheng Feng plans to arrive home one day early.

Cheng Feng has self-awareness; he cannot help with his eldest brother's wedding, and only almighty silver can help his eldest brother reduce some difficulties in marrying his future sister-in-law.

Furthermore, the one who calls the shots at home is still Cheng Fu. Ever since he started selling fish last year, Cheng Feng has gradually understood that there is a difference between himself and his family.

If they were together for a long time, his family would definitely not think his changes were reasonable and might even stop Cheng Feng, because this world emphasizes filial piety.

Cheng Feng also cannot just leave his family behind and ignore them.

But if there had been no changes, then perhaps there really wouldn't be the current situation.

Cheng Feng does not think that eating that thin porridge all the time is a good thing. It is not that he looks down on it, but Cheng Feng knows how to make the family better. However, without results to speak of, no one would believe him, and Cheng Feng cannot exactly tell them that he was like this in his past life.

Wouldn't that make him a madman?

Balancing the inside and outside, Cheng Feng can only make this choice. He can compensate his eldest brother later, but if all three brothers went out to venture, he really wouldn't be at ease. His family is the only people in this world Cheng Feng can trust.

As the saying goes: "When the mother is weak, the children become merchants; when the father is strong, they become chamberlains; when the clan is prestigious, they remain in their ancestral home; when the family is poor, they travel to the four corners of the world."

This means that children from official families can use the shade of their fathers to rise quickly in their careers, while those from poor families need to work hard through means like business to change their fate.

Family relationships play an important role in traditional society. Those with strong family backgrounds can rely on family resources and connections to gain more opportunities and convenience in official careers, business, and other areas.

Cheng Feng had already realized this in his past life; there was also the phenomenon of social stratification in his past life. But Cheng Feng was powerless to change anything. He had struggled, fought, failed, and become clear-headed, and in the end, he saw through all of this and chose to lie flat.

However, in his past life, the material conditions were affluent enough that people wouldn't starve to death. Here in Great Zhou, the environment is complex, human relationships are complicated, Martial Artists and gangs run rampant, and there are even unknown talking animals or monsters?

Therefore, effort starts with oneself; it is never too late.

Cheng Feng can only take it one step at a time, slowly. In this process, he naturally has to give up something, but fortunately, there are brothers who can help.

If he relied on family connections, the only way out might be the path of his uncle's gang background.

But without martial strength, Cheng Feng would definitely end up bleeding on the streets on some unknown day.

You say it's cunning? Brother, safety first.

Having died once already, Cheng Feng absolutely cherishes his own life all the more.

Cheng Feng will naturally tell the women in his household about his affairs, but he won't say too much, mainly to Cai'er, hoping she will look after the home well.

It must be said that when there are many people, there are many matters; although there are no major issues, there are constant minor ones.

But fortunately, all the women maintain Cheng Feng's bottom line and are relatively peaceful. Perhaps only after the Principal Wife enters the house will there be true stability. A Principal Wife can punish a Concubine, and an Equal Wife can also be disciplined if she does something wrong without reason.

At the very least, the hard work Cheng Feng has chosen is for the sake of enjoying life later; as for the rest, let it be.

Carrying the ten catties of Chunxiao he had saved previously—the family is not lacking in anything else—Cheng Feng began his journey home.

Not long after leaving the South City Gate, he brushed past a carriage.

The young girl lifting the curtain to look outside from the carriage found Cheng Feng's receding back somewhat familiar.

"Wan'er, what is there to look at outside?" A crisp, melodious female voice, like the sound of clear spring bells, came from inside the carriage. This voice was like the music of heaven, making one unable to help but be intoxicated by it. The speaker seemed to have little interest in the scenery outside the carriage and instead cast her gaze toward the person beside her.

The young girl with exquisite features wiped away her sorrow and smiled: "Since Cousin has finally come to Qingxi County with such difficulty, shouldn't I see if there is anything outside the city that Cousin might be interested in?"

"Hey, what is there to look at? The county town is not as prosperous as the Prefecture City. I only came here on my way to visit my uncle." Looking at her cousin, who wore a look of hesitation toward the Qingxi County town inside the carriage, Lin Wan'er sneered inwardly. In just over a year, Lin Wan'er's mentality had undergone a earth-shaking change.

No one knows where those missing high-level members of the Lin Family went. Everyone only knows that after the Lin Family experienced an earth-shattering upheaval, the strength of the Head of the Family of the Lin Family advanced by leaps and bounds, and they engaged in a bloody battle with the Blood Wolf Gang that lasted for more than half a month. This fierce battle finally ended with the Blood Wolf Gang admitting defeat and paying compensation, while this cousin of hers only appeared after the storm had settled.

Under such circumstances, the purpose of her trip is self-evident; it is nothing more than wanting to sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory. Lin Wan'er knows this clearly, but what of it? After all, everyone has their own motives!

This news was spread by her father, and the pros, cons, and potential consequences had long been carefully considered. As the saying goes, a gecko can save its life by severing its tail; facing the current situation, this is the only way to act.

Cheng Feng naturally will not pay too much attention to matters regarding his Martial Arts Hall; now, he just wants to go home.

The journey was safe and sound. Cheng Feng looked at the road leading to Liujiacun, which he had not walked for several months, and secretly pondered whether he should build a stable when he buys property.

At this very moment, Cheng Feng has achieved a small success in his career; not only does he have a certain accumulation of wealth, but a mansion and beauties seem to be within reach. Previously, he had never thought about including horses, as a means of transportation, into his life.

As the material standard of living gradually improves, people often develop more extravagant desires and cravings.

Today's Cheng Feng is no exception. Since his living conditions have improved, enjoying life has become a matter of course. As a Martial Artist who cultivates the power of Qi and Blood,

Cheng Feng cannot help but become a bit lazy: "Walking is so tiring! Why walk? Wouldn't it be better to just buy a prized horse? And I mean a real, authentic horse!" Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smug smile.

A BMW car in his past life, and riding a prized horse in this life; the boss of the BMW automobile company really knows how to take advantage.
