#148 - Chapter 148 Fulfilling the Promise

At dinner that evening, Father Cheng and Mother Cheng took the head seats, with the eldest brother and his wife on the right side, and Cheng Feng and the women who had borne children seated in order on the left.

With more people in the family, there had to be rules. To Cheng Feng, they were all his women, which wasn't a big deal in itself.

But there had to be a distinction for those who came later, a difference between those who had given birth and those who hadn't. Hence, this scene.

Having borne a child meant being elevated to the status of a concubine. In the Cheng household, that meant status, and it meant being able to eat at the main table.

This was Cheng Feng's rule.

As the family gathered for dinner, Cheng Feng announced that his eldest brother's family would be moving into the previous Number One residence.

He would also transfer the ownership of the house to Cheng Shu. This was considered support for his elder brother, and also a form of pressure.

With a house, would children be far behind?

Father Cheng and Mother Cheng had no objections. They wouldn't be living too far away, and if they missed their son, it wasn't as if they couldn't see him.

If it really came down to it, they could just walk over!

At the dinner table, Cheng Feng, the second son, was praised again, and Cheng Shu was told to learn from his younger brother.

Cheng Shu was also excited, as he would be able to practice martial arts tomorrow.

Cheng Feng told his elder brother to prepare, as they would go to the martial arts hall to practice tomorrow.

Everyone was happy for Cheng Shu, except for Cai'er, whose smile held some worry.

The family didn't have much silver left, and now that the master's family had come, the expenses would be significant.

If more relatives and friends came in the future, the expenses would definitely be substantial. She would have to talk to the master about it.

Cheng Feng didn't care about the small details. His wish had been fulfilled, and he had kept his promise. This sense of accomplishment made him happy.

After dinner, Cheng Feng returned to the main bedroom. Tonight was Cai'er's night.

What was a little waiting?

Cai'er knew Cheng Feng's preferences. Seeing that the time was almost right, she eagerly awaited Cheng Feng's arrival.

Before long, familiar footsteps could be heard outside the door.

It was Cheng Feng's footsteps.

Cai'er knew everything about her man.

Especially tonight, Cai'er had put on all her secret weapons.

As a future secondary wife, one son wasn't enough. As Cheng Feng's first son, he would inevitably become Cheng Feng's right-hand man.

In a situation of being alone and weak, how could he do without the help of brothers?

Cai'er had almost fully recovered.

She also wanted to further improve her position.

Mei Niang's clean background was her advantage.

Her advantage was that she had been with Cheng Feng the longest and had given birth to a son, who was considered the eldest son.

But all of this needed Cheng Feng's approval.

What was a man's recognition of a woman?

Cheng Feng looked at the delicate and charming Cai'er.

Without a word, Cheng Feng directly swept Cai'er, who was walking towards him, into his arms.

The wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Looking at the satisfied Cheng Feng, Cai'er rested her head on Cheng Feng's chest and voiced her worries: "Master, the household expenses can still be maintained for now, but if more relatives and friends come, it won't be enough."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I know. As long as it's enough for a month. At the end of this month, I'll give you another hundred taels for household expenses. By the way, Mei Niang's matter can't be delayed any longer. Prepare some common gifts at home. In a few days, I'll have Father meet with Shopkeeper Mei. I'll have to trouble you these few days."

A hint of sadness flashed across Cai'er's eyes, but she still tried to smile and said, "Don't worry, Master, I know."

How could Cai'er's expression escape Cheng Feng's eyes?

However, some things were still too early to say now. He would give her a surprise later.

Cheng Feng wasn't a simp, but he wouldn't be so blind as not to take good care of the woman who managed his household.

It was just that the time wasn't right yet.

Early the next morning, Cheng Feng led Cheng Shu to the Iron Mountain Martial Arts Hall.

After going through the formalities, the eldest brother was taken to the front practice area to listen to the newcomer's class.

Wang Tieshan scolded with a smile, "The three brothers of your Cheng family have all come to the Iron Mountain Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts. Cheng Lei is fine, he's young and his foundation is not bad. Your eldest brother is not young, and practicing martial arts may not necessarily be successful. The martial arts hall will not give your second relative preferential treatment."

Cheng Feng cupped his fist with a serious face and said, "Thank you, Master, for assessing my elder brother's bones. My elder brother has always yearned for martial arts and has been determined to become a martial arts expert since he was a child. Fortunately, our family has some spare funds, which can not only fulfill my elder brother's wish but also benefit the martial arts hall.

Disciple understands in my heart that Master doesn't need to take special care of him. What kind of achievements he can achieve completely depends on his own good fortune.

I'm just paying a few months' tuition in advance. If he doesn't practice well or lacks talent, then he will naturally be discouraged. If he has potential, he can be given additional training intensity. Disciple has no complaints."

Seeing Cheng Feng's decisive statement, Wang Tieshan couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering if this was a younger brother who specialized in harming his elder brother?

"It doesn't matter, it's just an ordinary bone structure. Remember to tell your elder brother that as long as he doesn't reveal your true identity, those instructors will definitely treat him equally," Wang Tieshan replied expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Master! Then may I ask what Master summoned disciple here for?" Cheng Feng asked respectfully.

"To see how much progress you've made recently. As for weapons, there's no need to take them out. Come on, take my move!" After not seeing him for many days, Wang Tieshan didn't say much and directly punched Cheng Feng.

Wang Tieshan's fist was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, rushing towards Cheng Feng with a surging momentum.

Faced with the master's sudden test, Cheng Feng's eyes were firm, and he quickly avoided this blow.

Cheng Feng didn't refuse and smiled, "Master, then disciple will accept your kindness."

Then, a swing fist followed like a shadow, rushing towards Wang Tieshan's wide-open central gate, the empty space in front of his chest.

Wang Tieshan saw this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and his body slightly tilted, easily resolving this blow, while simultaneously slapping Cheng Feng's shoulder with a backhand.

Cheng Feng dodged sideways, his right foot quickly stepped forward, using the force of the turn, his left fist bombarded Wang Tieshan like a thunderbolt.

Wang Tieshan frowned, obviously not expecting Cheng Feng to be so swift, but he was experienced, sinking his shoulder to remove the momentum, his right hand skillfully grabbing Cheng Feng's fist.

After a series of exchanges, the onlookers only felt their figures staggered, too fast to see the movements clearly.

After exchanging a few moves, Wang Tieshan released Cheng Feng's hand and patted him on the shoulder: "There's progress, the impetuosity of the blood qi has also faded, and you've become much more stable, not bad."

Cheng Feng wiped his sweat and smiled honestly: "Thank you, Master, for the praise, I still need to practice more."

Wang Tieshan nodded: "I took action just to see your progress, I didn't expect your performance to be so outstanding. Moreover, your strength doesn't seem like the middle stage of Blood Refinement, have you recently made another breakthrough?"

Cheng Feng was helpless, the older ginger is still spicier.

Scratching his head, he smiled and said: "Master's vision is really accurate, disciple hasn't had time to tell Master yet!"

Getting Cheng Feng's affirmative answer, Wang Tieshan was even more surprised, this kid is only 17 years old, can he rise so quickly after suppressing him first?
