#60 - Chapter 60 Someone is causing trouble

Holding his share of the dividends, Cheng Feng finally felt a little more secure.

In his previous life, he had no experience in business; at most, he'd helped friends set up stalls for fun.

He had virtually no real-world business experience.

If he hadn't been desperate for a solution, Cheng Feng wouldn't have risked trying to earn this money.

Indeed, his entrepreneurship classes in his previous life hadn't been a waste.

Luckily, they were proving to be effective.

Cheng Feng and Mei Niang's wedding had been set after the dividends were distributed.

Cheng Feng had even returned home briefly to leave ten taels of silver for his family, so his elder brother's wedding could be as lively as possible.

After Cheng Feng's conversation with his elder brother last time, there was naturally no resentment between them.

According to Cheng Feng's family's arrangements,

his elder brother would be getting married at the beginning of next month,

and in the middle of this month, his master would hold a ceremony for him as his closed-door disciple.

The timing was spaced out well.

When the time comes, he would inevitably have to spar with others in the same field.

Cheng Feng indicated that his kidneys could still handle it.

At worst, four times a night; he'd become a real man.

As long as he was willing to put in the effort, he would eventually succeed.

Cheng Feng felt he was progressing a little too quickly, and even his master was worried that his precious disciple's foundation might be unstable.

Cheng Feng had no choice but to slow down a bit.

He would secretly add a little bit every few days.

As long as Wang Tieshan didn't make a move, his strength wouldn't be noticed.

If possible, he secretly hoped to have perfected his Skin Refining stage by then, and it would be even better if he could reach Blood Refining.

Cheng Feng planned to conceal his true strength during the competition, but he was also afraid that his strength would be too weak and he'd become a laughingstock.

He could only leave it as it was for now, looking at his Basic Saber Technique (Entry Level 84/100).

This was the result of Cheng Feng's hard work, the result of drops of diligent sweat, oh, and two kidneys.

Cheng Feng calculated that if he persisted for another four days, four times a day, two times per person, with Xiao Qing in the reserves,

there shouldn't be any problems.

Now, Cheng Feng had money.

His savings had become fifty taels, and he had thirty-four taels in hand, giving ten taels to his family for his elder brother's wedding and ten taels for household purchases.

With so many people in the family now, expenses were naturally high, but ten taels of silver should last at least half a year.

He had fourteen taels left, which he could freely allocate.

Cheng Feng's first choice was, of course, the small pills from Yonghe Hall to protect himself from injury.

He spent two taels, buying a total of twenty-four pills, which would be enough for his temporary consumption.

Cheng Feng planned to leave the remaining twelve taels for Mei Niang.

Even as a secondary wife, she was still a wife, and all the wedding arrangements would be made here.

Twelve taels should be enough.

Previously, Cheng Feng had been curious about what Mei Niang's younger sister was doing, and later he learned that her sister had gone to the Reflecting Moon Martial Arts School to practice martial arts.

Basically, all of the family's income was going towards subsidizing Mei Jiao'er's martial arts school.

When the tavern's business was good, the materials needed for learning martial arts and building a foundation were manageable, but after Meizhou blacklisted the tavern,

Mei Jiao'er's martial arts school fees were entirely subsidized by the Mei family's savings.

After learning this, Cheng Feng felt that this scene was very similar to families in his previous life, exhausting their wealth for education.

Ah, the hearts of parents are all the same!

Cheng Feng was curious about Mei Jiao'er's martial arts realm.

Mei Niang said she didn't understand either, so she didn't ask. She had heard that her realm was very high; after all, the masters who examined her bones back then all said that Mei Jiao'er had good talent. Cheng Feng had no choice but to give up.

Cheng Feng himself only had a cheat; he couldn't count on that.

It seemed that ordinary people really needed a fortune to learn martial arts. He wondered what the talents of the third child and the elder brother were like.

High talent meant faster martial arts progress and lower costs.

Cheng Feng didn't know if the silver in his hand was enough, but even if it wasn't, he had to learn. The third child wasn't young anymore.

Not having found a path yet,

learning martial arts was the best way to protect his life.

In the future, he'd have more options, and not having to worry about food and drink was the bare minimum.

Cheng Feng also wanted to have someone he could trust by his side.

Otherwise, rely on his women?

Cheng Feng wouldn't put his women in danger.

As he was calculating his plans, he heard urgent knocking at the door.

Outside the door, he also heard Mei Niang's shouting: "Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng, open the door quickly! Something has happened at the tavern!"

Cheng Feng quickly went to open the door, asking anxiously, "What happened? Tell me slowly."

As he spoke, he patted Mei Niang's back to calm her down.

Mei Niang didn't even wait to catch her breath, saying breathlessly: "Some customers are causing trouble at the tavern, saying the wine is watered down!"

Cheng Feng's eyes narrowed. So this was what the teacher meant by 'interests move people's hearts'? It came so quickly.

Fortunately, the dividends had been distributed, allowing Mei Niang to rest first. Cheng Feng quickly ran towards the tavern.

Inside the Mei Family Tavern, voices were loud and chaotic.

A burly man with a black jacket was shouting loudly,

his voice as loud as a bell, hurting people's eardrums.

Around him, a group of people who didn't mind the commotion had gathered, echoing and chiming in:

"That's right! The wine at this Mei Family Tavern is like it's been watered down. It's bland and tasteless, and there's even a strange taste that's hard to swallow. I just drank a few cups, and my stomach started churning, making me very uncomfortable!"

"Exactly, brother! Now that you mention it, I also feel something is wrong."

"Hey, Third Brother, so you feel that way too! I thought I was the only one…"

Four or five men were arguing endlessly, their emotions becoming more and more agitated, insisting that the shop give a reasonable explanation before they would stop.

Faced with this situation, Shopkeeper Mei frowned and remained silent, simply standing there, quietly watching everything that was happening before him.

However, as time passed, these men seemed to have vented almost all of their dissatisfaction and resentment,

but they didn't let it go. Instead, they started hitting the table hard, and the whole tavern was filled with loud banging sounds.

Just then, Cheng Feng squeezed through the crowded people, came to Shopkeeper Mei's side, and reached out to support his swaying father-in-law.

Then, Cheng Feng raised his head, glaring at the troublemakers with a calm gaze,

and said firmly: "Everyone, please calm down. We can discuss things properly. Why do we need to make such a fuss? Don't ruin the peace between us because of a moment of impulse!"

“Yo ho, where did this pretty boy come from, daring to meddle in grandpa's business!” one of the burly men shouted.

Cheng Feng sneered, "I don't care who you are, and I don't care what your purpose is. Leave here immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist tightly, unleashing a sound of leather coiling.

The burly men felt Cheng Feng's aura and couldn't help but step back a few steps, but they still didn't show weakness.

“You… you don't mess around, we are…”

“I don't want to know who you are,” Cheng Feng interrupted them. “Get out of here now!”

At this time, the people around also echoed and chimed in, accusing the burly men of being unreasonable.

Faced with the pressure from the crowd, the burly men left the tavern in disgrace.

Shopkeeper Mei hurried out to maintain order.

Cheng Feng watched the direction the men left, and quietly followed them.
