Xiao Jingting nodded and casually said, “Yes!” He wanted to redeem that pawn ticket so he still owed the pawnbroker a lot of money.
“Dad, it’s not good to owe people money.” Although Xiao Xiaofan was not very clever, he still understood about owing money.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! It’s not good to owe people money, so I’m trying to find a way to pay off my debt. ”
“Dad, how are you going to pay your debts?” Xiao Xiaofan asked curiously.
“Work hard in farming and hunting, and I should be able to pay it off after a while.” Xiao Jingting was confident.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded his head and raised his little fist to cheer Xiao Jingting up, “Dad, it will definitely be paid off soon.”
Xiao Xiaodong rolled his eyes around. No one knew what was on his mind.
When Xiao Jingting went to the edge of the field and made use of the Falling Rain Technique to plant grapes, Xiao Jingting discovered that the spiritual spring in the space could promote the growth of Spiritual plants so when casting Falling Rain Technique Xiao Jingting pulled out a portion of the spiritual water from the space and incorporated it into the spiritual rain.
Xiao Xiaodong couldn’t take his eyes off Xiao Jingting’s movements. The Spiritual Secrets and books used for cultivation ware passed down in the family, Xiao Xiaodong had the right to learn Xiao family secrets, however, he was too young and only learned low-level technique.
“Father, you’re amazing! If this goes on, the harvest this time will be very good.” It was a pity that the other middle and upper-class fields had been sold by father, otherwise the quality of the spiritual plants grown would be even better.
Xiao Jingting smiled proudly and said, “Is that right?”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes!” and then secretly thought: If he had Xiao Jingting ability, it would be enough to plant all of the vegetable fields.
After watering the three mu of fields, it was already noon, and Xiao Jingting showed off his unique fishing skills by catching several fish. The eyes of those two little kids were full of surprise.
Xiao Jingting gave two kids two steamed buns and roasted a fish for each of them.
Children in this world ate a lot of food. They wouldn’t starve if they eat less but they would become stronger if they aat more, especially food containing spiritual power.
After applying rain to the field, Xiao Jingting returned home with the two kids.
“Welcome back. It time for dinner:” Xu Muan greeted.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “OK!”
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting’s face while he ate.
Although Xu Muan’s craftsmanship was not very good, Xiao Jingting was not picky about food and the meat from the pig was very rich in spiritual power, coupled with the fact that he ate ready-made rice, Xiao Jingting still ate a lot.
“My cooking is not very good.” Xu Muan said apologetically.
Xiao Jingting looked up at Xu Muan and said, “You’re wrong, it is very delicious.”
Xu Muan heart felt warm as he thought to himself: if only Xiao Jingting could go on like this, that would be good.”
Xiao Xiaofan nibbled the meat and looked at Xiao Jingting, saying, “Father’s cooking is better than that of Daddy, Daddy cooking isn’t very good.”
Xiao Jingting did not appreciate Xiao Xiaofan truthfulness, “It’s not delicious, but you still eat so happily.”
…
Xiao Xiaofan was tired of playing and fallen asleep on the bed.
“Daddy.” Xiao Xiaodong sat on the bed cross-legged and looked at Xu Muan seriously.
“Yes?” Asked Xu Muan.
“When we went out today, we met Qiu Bai.”
Xu Muan face suddenly tightened. Qiu Bai must have seen him selling pig so he showed up; “Has he found your father?”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes, he said his brother wanted to get married, and his future wife bride price was 20 silver. Their family didn’t have enough money so he asked father to lend him five silver.”
Xu Muan could not help clenching his fist. Five silver, Qiu Bai really thought that the silver in their family was brough by the wind.
“Did your father agree?” Xu Muan asked, In the past, Xiao Jingting was most pitying for young beauties.
Qiu Bai begged him with few words so Xiao Jingting might have agreed.
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said, “No, my father said he wanted to pay back his gambling debts, so he has no money. Daddy, do you think my father really owes the gambling debt outside? Do you think he owes too much money out there, so, he doesn’t dare to go out!”
Xu Muan clenched his teeth and immediately became uneasy. Gambling debt was different from ordinary debt. It usually had a very high-interest rate. He didn’t even want to think how high it could become.
Gambling houses always raised a lot of tugs and when the time came they would go to families who borrowed money to smash and rob them. if Xiao Jingting really borrowed money from the gambling house, then…
Xu Muan closed his eyes and said, “Let me think about it.”
If Xiao Jingting could always be like this in the past few days, it wouldn’t matter if he helped Xiao Jingting to pay off his gambling debts. They were two level three Qi lever practitioners, and their days could always get better. However, if Xiao Jingting returned to his old ways in few days, what should he do?
