#81 - Chapter 81: New Home of the Peak

By completing the Li family's task, Cheng Feng had accumulated enough silver.

Thirty taels, although the process was a bit tortuous, it was none of Cheng Feng's business.

Forty-five taels of dividends,

Twenty taels of private savings,

Plus the thirty taels from the past five days of missions,

A full ninety-five taels. With that, the small apartment didn't need to be sold.

Or, if it was sold, could he buy an even better one?

The feeling of having money was wonderful. He could finally buy the new house he had been longing for.

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Feng felt that having an extra house to settle down in the county was better.

Later, he could bring his parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law over.

He would use this money to buy the courtyard he had been eyeing before.

The women in the family were overjoyed when they learned of this news. Especially the pregnant women, they were even more eager to have a spacious and comfortable home to welcome the upcoming new life.

Cheng Feng also knew this well, so he was determined to find a house with a sufficiently large courtyard so that his women could live a happy life.

Moreover, he hoped that his women would all live together.

It would be good to have someone to look after them in the future.

Even if they lived close, how could it compare to being within the confines of the home?

With the money to buy the house in hand, Cheng Feng immediately went to the brokerage to make the transaction. Although the process was a bit tortuous, with Cheng Feng's patience and persistence, he successfully bought the courtyard he had been longing for.

At the brokerage, Cheng Feng waited for the clerk to go to the government to complete the procedures. With a thought, since the house was idle, he might as well go to the backyard to see if there were any new goods.

So, he called another clerk and went straight to the backyard with the list.

The front row of the backyard was as messy as ever.

But the back always had two clean rooms, which were where the good goods were.

Cheng Feng just wanted to buy some maids who could help take care of the pregnant women in the house. Adding money for good-looking ones was something Cheng Feng couldn't afford now.

He just wanted to find two capable and affordable women to share Xiao Qing's burden.

Xiao Qing was also his woman now. One woman taking care of Cai'er, Cui'er, Xiao Hua, Chen Min, and Lian Niang, five pregnant women, was indeed a bit much.

Of course, there were basically no problems now, but for the sake of the future, Cheng Feng felt it was better to prepare early.

Looking at the women in the backyard with tattered clothes and sallow faces, Cheng Feng had no appetite at all. First, they really didn't fit Cheng Feng's aesthetic, being as thin as firewood.

Who would be interested in firewood girls?

Perhaps some people would, but that person was definitely not Cheng Feng.

Secondly, the more disaster victims there were, the more it reflected the corruption of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Would the Great Zhou, a dynasty with nearly two thousand years of history, fall at this stage?

Cheng Feng didn't know.

Cheng Feng didn't want to know either.

Just the historical records of the end of dynasties in his previous life, with dragons and snakes rising and blood flowing, made Cheng Feng不敢妄言.

Not to mention the bizarre and fantastical Great Zhou with martial arts and talking fish.

Having bought a new courtyard, Cheng Feng knew his own capabilities and was clear about them. He went to the clean room in the past, looked at the pretty girls, and went back.

This look indeed gave him confidence.

There was a pair of twin sisters that Cheng Feng liked very much.

Unfortunately, after asking, he had to buy them together. Those who understood knew what that meant.

Twenty taels for both.

Cheng Feng looked at the nine taels in his hand and shook his head.

He still had to earn money!

He went to the front again and found two women with cooking skills. Disaster victims were worthless when they were reduced to this state, totaling two taels of silver.

Cheng Feng looked at the two women's young faces and silently hoped that they could be raised to be better-looking in the future.

This was actually a gamble. After all, they were not disabled, had clear speech, and their eyes were more spirited than others, and they were still virgins.

Picking the tallest among the short, having one was as good as having one!

After the procedures were completed, Cheng Feng took the two women out of the door.

Returning to House Number One, it was the same old routine.

However, this time he finally didn't have to buy any cloth or clothing.

The women in the family all had multiple sets of clothes.

They could even spare some for these two.

After boiling water and bathing, they completely changed.

New clothes, new shoes, a new look.

Even if they were terribly thin, they could still show hope, unlike the sense of decay they had in the brokerage.

Cheng Feng learned about them and introduced each other. Naturally, their former names could not be used. Cheng Feng gave them the names Chun Yu (Spring Rain) and Xia He (Summer Lotus). The older of the two was called Chun Yu, 19 years old, and the younger was called Xia He, 18 years old. Their heights were about the same as Cai'er, around 168cm.

Over the past year, Cheng Feng had also undergone physical changes. After a year, Cheng Feng was now about 174cm tall, already 2cm taller than Chen Min, the tallest among the women.

It could only be said that this year of eating so much rice, noodles, and meat was not in vain.

Now, after reaching the Blood Refining Realm through hard work, Cheng Feng's once ordinary appearance had gradually become refined and profound.

A sense of calmness and determination was revealed between his eyebrows, as if he could withstand all the wind and rain in the world.

Cheng Feng's temperament had also undergone earth-shattering changes. Standing there, he was like a majestic mountain, calm and firm.

Every movement of his seemed unhurried, revealing a sense of composure and confidence.

Cheng Feng was not interested in the changes in his temperament. After all, Cheng Feng couldn't look in the mirror all the time. As for his appearance,

After looking in the mirror, Cheng Feng could only say that the Lao Cheng family had good genes, at least much better than his previous thin appearance.

If he were placed on Blue Star, he would be a little fresh meat and a star.

In addition, the blood coagulation and skin shedding after practicing martial arts

Made the women who lived with Cheng Feng day and night fascinated.

Leaving a deep impression on the women around him.

Cheng Feng knew that this was the confidence that reaching the Blood Refining Realm gave him.

Cheng Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He was confident, sunny, and cheerful.

He could also earn money to support his family. This was great.

Taking Chun Xiao and Xia He around House Number One, House Number Two, and the newly bought courtyard.

It was too late, so they could only make do with a floor bed first. They would clean up the courtyard tomorrow.

Standing in front of the new home, Cheng Feng's heart was full of joy and anticipation. He took the women around, introducing every detail of the courtyard. The women were also attracted by the spacious and bright courtyard, and they all expressed their expectations for the future life.

In the following days, Cheng Feng began to arrange the new courtyard. According to the women's preferences and tastes, he decorated the courtyard warmly and comfortably.

He also opened up a small piece of farmland in the courtyard, where he could grow his own melons, fruits, and vegetables, making the entire courtyard full of life and vitality.

He also personally designed the leisure area in the courtyard, spending four taels of silver to find someone to build a pavilion, so that the women could enjoy a leisurely time here.

Ninety-five taels disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving not even one tael.

But looking at this new home, Cheng Feng felt a sense of finally settling down.

Only Xiao Qing, Chun Yu, and Xia He were suffering. The pregnant women would certainly not clean and get dusty. They came to see and then went back.

Only Xiao Qing and the other two cleaned such a large area.

Because the area was large, they mainly cleaned the area where they would live first, cleaning Chun Yu and Xia He's rooms first. In the next two days, the two of them had to clean the new courtyard, cleaning everything inside and out.

After meeting Cheng Feng's standards, the whole family could move over.

Cheng Feng calculated that it would take about 20 minutes to walk from the new courtyard to House Number One, and about 10 minutes to run faster. The distance was indeed not close.

As time passed, Cheng Feng's new home gradually became a haven for their family. The women were able to have peace of mind to nurture their pregnancies, and Cheng Feng was able to concentrate on practicing martial arts. Together, they looked forward to the arrival of new life.
