“Idiot.” Xiao Xiaodong snorted lightly.
Xiao Jingting, “…”
Xiao Jingting drove Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan to bed. Then, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng sat opposite each other.
“Your father-in-law, what did he say?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
“He said that the beverage shop allowing two children to collect money is out of place. He wanted Xu Muan’s younger brother Xu Guanghua to work in the store. Xu Muan naturally disagreed, and they quarreled,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jinfeng, “… ” Not everyone could do the job of a shopkeeper. Letting Xu Guanghua take care of the shop, what was the difference between this and putting a mouse in a rice jar?
“What are you going to do with your father-in-law?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
“When Muan entered our house, he signed a deed of sale (most probably means that Man’s father signed a sort of contract and literally sold Muan to the Xiao family, or specifically to Xiao Jingting). Moreover, when he married me, he was afraid of trouble and cut all contact with him,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “That’s right.”
At that time, Xiao Jingting was very opposed to this marriage, constantly tossing around and putting forward all kinds of excessive demands. In order to facilitate this marriage, the eldest aunt did not refuse to comply with Xiao Jingting’s demands. According to law, the two families wouldn’t have to move around if the marriage was broken, and Xu Muan didn’t have to support father Xu at an old age.
At that time, Xu Muan’s position in the Xu family was very low. The Xiao family took a few dozen taels of silver and easily made Xu Muan break ties with their family.
“But people are shameless, there’s nothing you can do about it!” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xiao Jingting shrugged his shoulders and said,”Dealing with shameless people, one can only be more shameless than them.”
That year, after the two of them married, Father Xu came to visit. As a result, the original body owner ordered to beat up the old man. Maybe it was too long ago or maybe the business of the beverage store was too good that made the old man seek benefits again.
It looked like they could only find someone to beat the old man up again. But beating the old man may be useless, beating his young son may be more effective. Xiao Jingting did not believe that father Xu wanting Xu Guanghua to become the shopkeeper did not Xu Guanghua’s handiwork behind it.
“I heard that business in the shop hasn’t been very good recently,” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Yes, but it’s not too bad.”
“It doesn’t matter if the business is not too bad, Xu Muan can’t be too tired recently,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Yes! Muan needs to rest. ”
……
The business of the beverage shop, after a few days of decline, suddenly recovered.
As soon as the shop opened, people came to line up, and no matter what kind of drink it was, it was sold cleanly very fast.
Xiao Jinfeng inquired about it to find out the reason.
It turned out that a five-year-old young master came to Desert city recently. The young master was five years old and still hadn’t started cultivating. There was nothing strange about ordinary children not starting cultivating at the age of five, but this young master had a ninth level Qi Practitioner as his father. He had a very high status in his family and had no shortage of elixirs since he was a child, so it was a bit unjustifiable why he couldn’t start cultivating at the age of five.
There were people behind the young master and he was rich and wealthy. After coming to Desert city, he heard that the drinks in the shop were delicious so he spent some silver and bought a dozen cups of the most expensive new products. After drinking them, he was actually able to start cultivating.
The young master was very happy to finally be able to start cultivating and he went to the shop early every morning to buy the most expensive products.
No one knew how this matter spread but it was spread fascinatingly, and new and expensive products that not sold very well before were suddenly selling like crazy.
The drinks that Xiao Jinfeng brought over were often sold clean.
Xu Muan was pregnant, so it was not convenient for him to do things, so Xiao Jingting proposed to let Mu Shuyu rent out some fields and come to help Xu Muan.
The business of the beverage shop was very good. Making drinks was much more cost-effective than farming so Mu Shuyu gladly agreed.
The business of the beverage shop was so good that Xiao Jinfeng set up the two shops nearby.
The few beverage shops that opened up later in Desert City had very little business, with a few opening and closing quietly.
……
Xiao Jingting was walking back and forth around Xu Muan, as if he wanted to step forward but didn’t dare.
“Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting’s regimented appearance and smiled helplessly, saying, “No, I just ate an hour ago, so I’m not hungry at all.”
“Oh.” Xiao Jingting scratched the back of his head and said, “I forgot.”
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting’s embarrassed appearance and smiled sweetly, his heart warm.
Although Xiao Jingting’s body was still the original one, the soul was replaced. Xiaodong and Xiaofan could be considered the children of the original one, so Xiao Jingting should still want to have a child that belonged completely to him, right?
“Sit down. I’m just pregnant with a child and not a mine. You don’t have to be so nervous.” Xu Muan touched his stomach.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Good, you are tired! If you feel tired, you can leave everything to second sister-in-law. I will ask him to rent out the fields.”
“I’m not tired. I’m a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Practice. I’m pregnant, not disabled,” Xu Muan said.
Earlier, when he was pregnant with Xiaodong and Xiaofan, he did not eat well or sleep well but still had to work. When the original Xiao Jingting saw him, he always scolded him. When he was pregnant with Xiaofan, Xiao Jingting always said, “You got pregnant so soon after giving birth, it’s not mine at all, but someone’s bastard child.”
Xiao Jingting despised him, so naturally servants acted accordingly. All the meals given to him were leftovers, and some of them were even rotten.
He still survived those difficult days. This time after his pregnancy was discovered, Xiao Jingting took care of him, making Xu Muan uncomfortable instead.
“What’s the matter? What are you thinking about? You don’t look very happy,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan raised his head and smiled saying, “Nothing, can you lie with me for a while?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Of course.”
Xu Muan tilted his head and looked at the person lying beside him, suddenly feeling much more secure.
