#45 - Chapter 45 Another Person

Winter was freezing cold.

Cheng Feng didn't wait for Lian Niang to wake up on her own.

After about forty-five minutes, Cheng Feng had recovered himself and woke Lian Niang up.

When Lian Niang was with Cheng Feng, it was self-deception to say that she had no feeling.

She had already woken up when Lai Er came to her door at home.

She also heard Wang Po and Xiangzi's voices completely.

Cheng Feng didn't know that Lian Niang had actually heard the whole process.

He only showed Lian Niang what he had heard, seen, and the written agreement Xiangzi had left for Lai Er.

Lian Niang was illiterate, or rather, almost no one in the countryside was literate.

But Lian Niang had heard their entire conversation.

She knew that Xiangzi had made preparations and even put her fingerprint on it.

Watching Cheng Feng take out the items one by one and match them up,

Lian Niang fell into confusion.

Cheng Feng didn't have much to explain.

Strictly speaking, he was Lian Niang's savior.

He originally thought that Lai Er had really taken a fancy to Lian Niang.

Cheng Feng was even prepared to turn around and leave.

He only followed them to satisfy his curiosity as a bystander.

But he didn't expect Lai Er to be such a hypocritical beast.

He said nice things to Wang Po and Xiangzi about Lian Niang on the surface,

But he actually beat and kicked Lian Niang.

Cheng Feng couldn't stand it and stepped in to help.

As a result, he got himself involved.

You say Lian Niang isn't pretty?

That's not the case.

The women in Cheng Feng's family were all bought, and their contracts were in Cheng Feng's hands.

He treated them well because it was his own wish.

He wasn't afraid of betrayal either.

If they dared to betray him, he had their contracts in hand.

Cheng Feng wasn't afraid no matter where they went.

It was just killing people, it's not like he hadn't done it before.

Lian Niang was different.

Lian Niang was a free person.

There was no contract to restrain her.

At worst, she could become a dissolute person after a heartbreak.

At least she would be free.

Cheng Feng and Lian Niang were just an accident.

It wasn't a deliberate pursuit of pleasure or anything like that.

But looking at Lian Niang's confused and helpless face,

Cheng Feng's heart softened, and he said to Lian Niang, "If you are willing, come with me. I have a house in the city and I also keep several concubines. You can live with them in the future."

Lian Niang just stared blankly at Cheng Feng.

Looking at the man who had taken her innocence.

Cheng Feng had no complaints about Lian Niang.

But he didn't owe her anything either.

He said frankly, "If you are willing, then I am your man. Although I am a bit lustful, I am definitely not a hypocritical person like Lai Er."

"If you are willing, come with me. If you are not willing, give me an answer, and I will not pester you anymore."

When Cheng Feng became a little impatient, Lian Niang finally recognized reality.

Looking at the bloodstains on the bed sheets,

She cried and said, "I'll go with you."

Cheng Feng nodded. Now that it was freezing cold, following him was the best choice.

Of course, Cheng Feng wouldn't force Lian Niang into anything.

But if she was willing, Cheng Feng had made it clear.

Lian Niang would live with his concubines.

That meant giving Lian Niang the position of a concubine.

It was impossible for her to covet the position of the main wife.

If she was willing, then come with him.

If she wasn't willing, Cheng Feng would leave on his own.

Cheng Feng was confident that Lian Niang would follow him, but he wasn't too sure.

The world of the Great Zhou was becoming more and more chaotic.

Wang Po only cared about her own son and sold Lian Niang.

Cui'er, Cai'er, Xiao Hua, Chen Min, and Xiao Qing all had their own stories and experiences.

Cheng Feng was their experience.

Being able to meet Cheng Feng,

Cheng Feng wouldn't mistreat them.

He would treat them formally.

He wouldn't sell them again either.

This was already a very good treatment.

There were countless situations like Lian Niang's all over the Great Zhou.

Cheng Feng couldn't save them all.

Nor would he go to save them.

In poverty, take care of yourself.

That was Cheng Feng's current situation.

In prosperity, benefit the world.

That was the task of the Great Zhou Emperor.

What did it have to do with him?

Cheng Feng currently just wanted to be a landlord.

Have parents above him, so they could enjoy life.

Have a wife and children below him, so they wouldn't suffer.

Have brothers in the middle, to give them a path forward.

Being able to do these things was already Cheng Feng's best effort.

Where would the one hundred and fifty taels of startup capital come from without risking being eaten by a big snake?

This was also what Cheng Feng had desperately obtained.

And he even brought Lao San with him.

If something happened to Lao San, Cheng Feng didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Cheng Feng had already realized it.

Moral integrity was useless to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng only sought to have a clear conscience.

Seeing that Lian Niang agreed, Cheng Feng put clothes on Lian Niang.

Then he folded up the bed sheet in his hand and put it away.

Carrying Lian Niang on his back, he walked and stopped, heading towards the county town.

A new resident was added to Room Two.

She was also Cheng Feng's woman.

Lian Niang lived with Xiao Qing.

The side room of Room One had two beds.

The side room of Room Two also had two beds.

Combined, they made a big bed.

Separately, the women could sleep on their own.

Cheng Feng wouldn't specify, but he would give the women the right to choose.

But when it came to having fun with Cheng Feng,

Cheng Feng could choose the room.

Of course, the main room definitely had a double bed.

Cheng Feng liked to lie on the double bed because it was big and comfortable.

Of course, a single bed was also good.

They were all different experiences.

Cheng Feng didn't have the habit of needing to sleep in a specific bed.

Room One was full.

Room Two still had a bed.

He took Lian Niang to meet Cai'er.

And then everyone had a good meal together.

Watching Lian Niang shed tears in the face of the rich delicacies,

Cheng Feng also briefly talked about Lian Niang's experience.

Cai'er was almost four months pregnant, and her belly was beginning to show.

She put down her chopsticks and walked towards Lian Niang, comforting her gently.

After becoming a pregnant mother,

Cai'er became more emotional.

Watching the women all show signs of crying, Cheng Feng put on airs and pretended to be angry, saying, "What are you crying about? Stop crying. Go home and cry after you finish eating."

Cheng Feng could understand them, but that wasn't a reason to cry in front of Cheng Feng while eating.

Did he have to comfort them one by one?

Would they still do things?

Would they still eat?

Cheng Feng was supporting them, not to see them crying.

The women, who were startled by Cheng Feng's sudden scolding, were also shocked.

They all put away their emotions.

They finished the meal quietly and harmoniously.

After the meal, Cai'er complained to Cheng Feng privately that he had scared everyone at the table.

Cheng Feng didn't care.

Whether they were really crying or pretending to cry,

Cheng Feng wanted to stay as far away as possible from anything that bothered him.

There were already enough worries.

Did he have to watch people's faces when he got home?

Wasn't it better to be harmonious and happy?

Anyway, Cheng Feng asked himself if he had mistreated them.

It was too early to think about getting out of hand.

Anyway, Cheng Feng wouldn't spoil them.

Martial arts competition to make a name for himself,

Channels to learn medical skills,

Basic knife skills upgrade,

Building influence and information,

Sources of wealth for the family,

Which one didn't Cheng Feng have to consider?

Just eating a simple meal and they were crying.

What was that like?

Cheng Feng got angry just thinking about it.

Of course, Cheng Feng was originally just pretending to be angry.

But Cai'er had said so.

Cheng Feng arranged for Cai'er, "In the future, no crying is allowed at home during meals. After you're done, tell them, this is a rule of the house. If you have anything, you can come to me privately. Mealtime is when I'm happiest."

Of course, Cai'er was on Cheng Feng's side.

Looking at her man, she smiled and changed her attitude, "Understood, don't worry!"

Looking at Cai'er's smiling face, Cheng Feng stepped forward and gave her a deep kiss, "I just like to see you smile, I don't like to see you cry."

Cai'er also responded affectionately.

After becoming pregnant, Cheng Feng didn't get too intimate with Cai'er.

But Cai'er also knew that it was for the good of the child.

Whenever there was a chance, she could also be affectionate with Cheng Feng.

Cai'er was already very happy.
