#147 - Chapter 147 Family Affairs

Seeing that the news of recruiting talents had been spread, Cheng Feng decided to let those disciples persevere for three more days.

Even if there were no gains, Cheng Feng would accept it.

The name of the Hong Sect would definitely not be directly mentioned, and even the contact address was fake, but there were Hong Sect disciples watching that address.

As long as someone inquired, wouldn't the feedback come?

Cheng Feng slowly walked back home, gazing with pleasure at the luxurious mansion with its three courtyards.

His heart was filled with satisfaction, but he also realized that he didn't have much silver left.

Currently, he only had ninety taels plus the two hundred taels he had just obtained from the transaction, totaling only two hundred and ninety taels.

Cai'er told him that the household's daily expenses had only forty taels left, which could barely last for a while.

And the Hong Sect had more than three hundred taels in reserve funds.

At this moment, Cheng Feng began to think about the things he had on hand.

First was the material from the Redscale Serpent.

He planned to use it to make light armor and arrowheads, but the remaining snake teeth, those parts as thick as an adult's arm, might still be able to be made into four sharp bone knives.

This might require some additional investment of silver.

As for the snake bones and snake gall, they could be used to brew fine wine.

A few days ago, Cheng Feng had already sent someone to order five super-large wine jars, each at least as tall as a person, to ensure that they could accommodate the huge snake bones.

Cheng Feng estimated that these five jars should be enough.

At this point, the benefits brought by the Redscale Serpent, which Cheng Feng had exchanged for his life, had basically been exhausted.

It had been five or six days since he had brought his family over.

During this time, his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law had gradually become familiar with the surrounding environment.

The main task of Cheng's parents was to accompany the children, and their faces were always filled with happy smiles as they looked at these cute little lives.

However, recently, the mood of his elder brother and sister-in-law seemed a little low.

According to Cai'er's disclosure to Cheng Feng, his elder brother and sister-in-law seemed a little cautious when living in the Cheng mansion.

Cheng Feng knew very well that this was a common manifestation of self-esteem in honest people.

They were both worried that their brother was not doing well and afraid that their brother would become successful.

Cheng Feng said he could understand this situation and had already made plans.

On this day, in the study of the Cheng mansion, Cheng Feng invited his elder brother and sister-in-law to drink tea and chat.

After some small talk, he directly got to the point and said, "Brother, I see that you haven't been looking too good lately. Are you feeling unwell?"

Cheng Shu quickly replied with a smile, "No, it's just that I haven't been working these days, and I'm always thinking about the fields at home!"

The sister-in-law sitting beside him couldn't help but gently tap Cheng Shu's arm, saying with a bit of reproach, "Look at you, you've come to the county town, and you're still thinking about those few acres of land at home!"

Cheng Shu scratched his head and chuckled, but his eyes still revealed his attachment to the land of his hometown.

Cheng Feng understood his elder brother and sister-in-law's thoughts.

They were used to a life of hard work, and suddenly being idle made them feel a little uncomfortable.

So, he decided to have a good talk with his elder brother and sister-in-law about future plans.

"Brother, don't worry.

The reason why I moved our whole family to the county town is because I need your help in the county town.

Brother, do you still remember the matter of me asking you to practice martial arts last year?

I've already talked to the martial arts hall, and we can go tomorrow.

I'm mainly here today to ask if you're used to living here.

I just came back, and there are a lot of things to do, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you properly.

If you feel uncomfortable, I have a small courtyard outside, which was my first place to live when I first came to the county town, not far from here.

If you don't feel comfortable living here, you can live there," Cheng Feng said, steadily reassuring Cheng Shu.

Seeing his second brother being so understanding, Cheng Shu was also a little moved.

Living in his second brother's house these days had really opened his eyes.

But his second brother had so many family members, and looking at himself with only a wife, he did feel a little restrained.

If he learned martial arts, could he be as successful as his second brother in the future?

On the other hand, Liu Juan, the sister-in-law, looked at Cheng Shu's relieved appearance and sighed inwardly.

Her little brother-in-law was now successful and capable, and she should take the opportunity to build a good relationship and arrange a job with a higher income, not practice martial arts!

However, hearing that they could have their own house, the worries in her heart disappeared.

The little brother-in-law had invited them alone today, presumably with a plan in mind, also for the good of her and Da Shu.

Liu Juan didn't want to agree directly, so she had to advance and retreat together with her husband.

Cheng Feng looked at his elder brother's eagerness and yearning for martial arts, and nodded secretly.

The most fearful thing between people is comparison.

Cheng Feng always had to first make Cheng Shu, this elder brother, understand the difficulties of martial arts before proceeding with subsequent actions.

If he only treated his family well, but his family became ungrateful, then he would really be letting down his good intentions.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings,

Since his elder brother was not used to living in the current Cheng mansion, Cheng Feng decided to first give the house with a courtyard to his elder brother for transition, which would become the residence of his elder brother's family.

Appropriate distance may make the two families get along more comfortably and also meet the wishes of the sister-in-law.

The elder brother had already started a family, and Cheng Feng himself had women to take care of.

He couldn't take care of them all the time, or wouldn't he become a nanny?

As for his parents, that was naturally no problem.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were full of care for their children.

If Cheng Feng had children in the future, it might make the two elders even happier.

The two elders only needed to be responsible for enjoying their old age.

The Super Serum and secret manuals from Room 1 had already been brought back to the Cheng mansion by Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng dug a hole in the corner of his master bedroom, big enough to put down the secret manuals.

Seeing that his elder brother and sister-in-law had no objections, Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been a little busy these past few days since his parents came back, and he hadn't paid attention to the situation at home, so he let Cai'er pay attention on his behalf, so that there would be no conflicts among the family members.

Cai'er was indeed attentive, and she also had a small discussion with the sisters in private for a while, asking everyone to pay attention.

Even though Cheng Feng said that his parents and family were very kind, the concubines carefully dressed themselves and carefully accompanied their parents, talking to them.

After all, women are careful, and soon the women discovered that the elder brother and sister-in-law were living a little awkwardly.

Cai'er didn't dare to neglect, and she also communicated with the sister-in-law in private.

Liu Juan also waved her hands repeatedly, saying that there was no problem, just that she was a little bored.

The women had to take care of children, serve men, and prepare for pregnancy.

Having experienced a lot, they immediately understood that the sister-in-law was also worried about the issue of children.

The second brother's family had already had three children, but the eldest brother's family had no news yet.

Wasn't this a woman's problem?

Cai'er communicated with Liu Juan for a while and also understood the problem, so she guaranteed that she could solve this problem.

Thus, there was this scene today.

Cheng Feng having ideas was one thing, and the actual needs of the elder brother's family were another.

If it happened to be suitable, then that would be even better.

After solving the problem of the elder brother's family, Cheng Feng took the key and directly took his elder brother to Courtyard No. 1.

Looking at the two-bedroom house with blue bricks and tiles, and a small courtyard where vegetables could be grown,

Cheng Shu's heart was filled with mixed feelings: "Second brother, this, you're just giving me the house?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said: "Otherwise? Brother, you've contributed so much to the family, what's getting a house worth?

If you insist that I make a condition, I really have two that I need you to do."

Cheng Shu couldn't wait to say: "Don't say two, I can do ten."

Cheng Feng looked at his elder brother's excited face: "Then I'm really going to say it?"

"Are you trying to kill me? Say it quickly!" Cheng Shu said anxiously.

"Alright, my requirements are also very simple.

The first is that you have to come and see our parents more often in the future, at least five times a month.

No matter how long or short the time is, you have to come," Cheng Feng said seriously.

Cheng Shu understood: "Hey, you don't even need to say that.

These are our parents, not just your parents."

Cheng Feng didn't care: "You'll know how difficult this is in the future.

The second is that you and your sister-in-law quickly have a little nephew, although our parents didn't say it, but I know they're thinking that way."

Cheng Shu's neck turned red with shame: "Don't worry, you don't need to arrange this either, I'll have one as soon as I settle down."

Cheng Feng saw his elder brother was shy and smiled slightly.

The two brothers cleaned up a bit and returned to the Cheng mansion.
