On the second day back home, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng inspected the fields together with the a headless knight

There were ten thousands mu of fields under the Xiao family’s name, and about 1000 mu under Xiao’s father and Mother, including about a hundred mu of first class fields.

The fields were surrounded by a group of Third level Qi practice guards patrolling the area. These guards bowed in greeting when they met Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng.

Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng were now extremely famous, and this group of guards respected both of them very much.

What Xiao Jingting saw in the Xiao family was a completely different scene than in the village, hundreds of spiritual planters were busy in the fields. The golden soil infiltrating earthworms were drilling in and out of the fields.

There were several mu of first-class fields, which were connected to the city, and each field had only a few sparse spiritual plants planted.

“Spiritual plants above level five can only be planted in the first class fields. These spiritual plants need a high spiritual aura, and have a strong sense of territory. They cannot be planted too close to each other.” Xiao Jinfeng said.

Xiao Jingting nodded his head in understanding. Spiritual plants above fifth level were expensive because they were extremely difficult to grow. They would wither and die if one was not careful enough, and if there was even a slight problem with the weather, the spiritual plants could also have problems.

“There are very few high level spiritual plants that can be planted, most of the high level spiritual plants have special requirements for growing and will wither when planted in the fields.” Xiao Jinfeng said.

Xiao Jingting sighed “The Xiao family has so many fields!”

Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said “After all, the Xiao family is one of the four major families in Desert City.”

Xiao Muhong came over with Sun Miaomiao “Two cousins have come to inspect the fields!”

“Came to take a casual look.” Xiao Jingting faintly swept a glance at Sun Miao miao, not hiding the disgust in his eyes.

Sun Miaomiao’s heart sank as she faced Xiao Jingting’s gaze.

Xiao Jingting and Xiao Muhong exchanged a few words and then they left.

Xiao Muhong was filled with surprise as he looked at Xiao Jingting’s back. He had thought that Xiao Jingting would run to the brothel after his return, but as soon as he returned, he actually inspected the family land together with Xiao Jinfeng, which was really strange.

“Miaomiao, are you okay?!” Xiao Muhong asked.

Sun Miaomiao shook her head and said “It’s nothing.”

In the past, when Xiao Jingting met her, he acted like a salivating pervert. But just now, when Xiao Jingting saw her, it was as if he had seen something dirty.

Sun Miaomiao was originally a little worried that when Xiao Jingting came back, she would be entangled with him regardless of her situation. But she did not expect that after Xiao Jingting came back, he would avoid her like a cockroach.

After getting rid of Xiao Muhong and Sun Miaomiao, Xiao Jinfeng looked at Xiao Jingting strangely. Finally Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said “Second brother, why are you looking at me like this?”

“I was just a little surprised. You saw Sun Miaomiao and you really didn’t really care.” Xiao Jinfeng said.

“It’s a beautiful woman, but it’s my sister-in-law. I naturally want to draw a line with her.” Xiao Jingting said.

Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said “You’re right if you think so.”

As Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao Jingting were laughing and walking in the field, a guard rushed over to Xiao Jingting and said “Young Master Jingting! It’s bad! Something has happened at home!”

“What happened?” Xiao Jingting asked.

“Little master Xiaofan and Young Master Yuerong got into a fight. Xu Muan asked to let you know.” The guard said.

“Who won?!” As soon as Xiao Jingting spoke, he immediately realized that something didn’t seem quite right “Is anyone hurt?”

“Young master Xiaofan used a brick to break open the head of young master Yuerong.”

Xiao Jingting calmed down a bit and thought: It’s good that his son didn’t suffer. Xiao Yuerong was so fat and looked like he had thick skin, so he estimated that the injury shouldn’t be serious.

Xiao Jinfeng frowned and said “Let’s go back quickly. Father and mother love their grandson Xiao Yuerong the most. If Xiao Xiaofan injured him, this matter can’t be good anymore.”

Xiao Jingting felt it deeply reasonable. His parents did not value Xiaofan but Xiao Yuerong was a precious baby. If this matter caused trouble in front of his parents, Xiaofan was bound to suffer.

Xiao Jingting released the fire cloud bird from the beast rune and sat on the fire cloud bird together with Xiao Jinfeng and rushed to the Xiao family.

 

….

 

Xiao Xiaofan knelt on the ground with a straight face in the hall of the Xiao family.

Xu Muan frowned as he looked at Xiao Xiaofan with a worried face.

Zheng Pei’er twisted her handkerchief, sobbing as she looked at Xiao Xiaofan with resentment.

“What’s going on?!” Xiao Linfeng asked.

“Xiaofan smashed Rong Rong with a brick! Rong Rong is so small and his head is covered with blood.” Zheng Pei’er said with a face full of guilt.

“He deserved it. I told him I didn’t want to play with him. He had asked me to be a horse for him to ride. I don’t want to be a horse for him.” Xiao Xiaofan said angrily.

Zheng Pei’er looked at Xu Muan with hatred, and said “Xu Muan, how did you educate your children? You taught him to be so rude, he is so young but is already so good at bullying.”

“Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. Xiaofan is only four years old. Yuerong is more than five years old. If the two of them fought, it would be Yuerong who has the advantage.” Mu Shuyu said.

“What kind of thing are you? If you hooked up with Xiao Jinfeng in an indiscriminate manner, you think you will have a stable position when you give birth to Xiao Jinfeng’s son? You can dream.” Zheng Pei’er was born in the Zheng family, one of four major families of Desert city. She had never taken the low-born family members into consideration. Mu Shuyu had come from a humble family, but he had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Practice by chance making Zheng Pei’er very uncomfortable.

“The oldest, you are too bold!” Xiao Linfeng said.

{edit : the eldest daughter in law, ie. Zheng Pei’er} 

Xiao Linfeng was very optimistic about Mu Shuyu. The Sun family withdrew from marriage and made the Xiao family lose face. Xiao Jinfeng having a child and bringing back a wife, although it provoked criticism, Xiao Linfeng always felt that it recovered his face. Mu Shuyu’s attributes and strengths were good, so Xiao Linfeng was very satisfied.

“Father, Yuerong is hurt. I am distressed!” Zheng Pei’er sobbed.

“My younger brother was defending himself. It was Xiao Yuerong who first pulled my younger brother’s hair and insisted that he be a horse. He is so fat, but my younger brother is so thin, he would be squashed if he played horse for him.” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Yuerong fought. Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Yuefeng also fought but were discovered early and pulled apart.

“When adults talk, little children shouldn’t interrupt.” Xiao Qingyan said angrily. In Xiao Qingyan’s impression, Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong were both silent and submissive. As a result, when they came back this time, these two stinky brats dared to fight with his own sons.

“You adults are bullying the child, so I just interrupted.” Xiao Xiaodong said, not willing to show any weakness.

In the hall, people were at each other’s throats when Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng came in. Xiao Xiaofan seeing Xiao Jingting come in, looked like he had found a backer. He got up from the ground and jumped into Xiao Jingting’s arms, shouting “Daddy!”

Seeing that Xiao Xiaofan had made such a big mistake and didn’t kneel properly, her face became even worse.

“The third brother is back!” Zheng Pei’er was indifferent.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said “I’m back.”

“The bastard you raised beat his cousin like this, he is going to be a murderer!” Zheng Pei’er said.

Xiao Jingting said with a smile “Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? It’s common for children to fight each other, they won’t die. Xiaofan’s enlightenment was late and his cultivation base is low. In addition, his body has been so thin before, so his strength is very small. Even if he smashed Yuerong, how much can he really hurt him? Sister-in-law, you wrapped bandages so thickly for Yuerong, be careful not to cover him up!”

Zheng Peier face twisted “Third brother, what do you mean? Are you trying to say I am making a fuss?”

Xiao Jingting smiled but didn’t reply to Zheng Peter’s words, asking Xiao Xiaofan “Son, what’s going on?”

“Big fatty wanted me to be a horse for him to ride. I didn’t want to be a horse for him so he pulled my hair and kicked me, so I picked up a brick and threw it at him. I accidentally hurt him, and Big Fatty made a lot of noise and cried and howled….…” Xiao Xiaofan said while exaggerating his imitation of Xiao Yuerong crying and howling. 

Xiao Jingting felt it was funny in his heart but forced himself to endure it. Xiao Jingting glared at Xiao Xiaofan and said “What big fatty?! He is your cousin.”

Xiao Jingting looked toward Zheng Pei’er and said “Sister-in-law! How did you raise your son so fat? He is so fat but he is still asking my skinny son to be a horse for him to ride.”

Zheng Peier’s face blackened. Xiao Yuerong was spoiled and pampered since childhood. He was a little fat, but not so fat. Xiao Xiaofan used to be thin, but now he was plump, he couldn’t be seen as thin anymore.

“Third brother, what do you mean? Do you want to shirk responsibility?” Xiao Qingyan said.

“But it’s just a fight between children. Big brother, why are you making it a trial of three divisions? It makes people laugh.” Xiao Jingting was not willing to show any weakness.

“My son almost got killed by your son.” Xiao Qingyan said.

“Big brother, Xiaofan is one year younger than your son, yet he still can’t beat Xiaofan. And he wants you to fight for him…” Xiao Jingting said sarcastically.

Wang Lu sighed lightly and said “Jingting, your son is too ruthless, even to his cousins he is cruel. It will not be easy to discipline him when he grows up.”

“Mother, you can’t say that! My son is a very good boy. Back in the Mound Village, when I was busy, the two of them made fire to cook and delivered food. They also got along well with the village children, they never fought and caused trouble.” Xiao Jingting said.

Hearing Xiao Jingting mention Mound Village, Wang Lu’s face was suddenly tinged with guilt.

Zheng Pei’er said calmly “Third Brother’s meaning is that the problem is with my son.”

Xiao Jingting shrugged his shoulders and said “Sister-in-law, a strongly twisted melon is not sweet. My son has said that he won’t play with your son. Yet he still insisted on pulling my son to play with him. Now that something has happened, it is all pushed to my son’s head. How could this work?”

Xiao Jinfeng stood to the side and said “Sister-in-law, where did your son get the bad habit of having other people play horse for him? There are plenty of horses in the family. Why was he looking for his cousin?”

Xiao Qingyan saw that Xiao Jinfeng gave Xiao Jingting a head start and gritted his teeth “Second Brother, are you now joining forces with Third Brother to target me?”

Xiao Jinfeng glanced at Xiao Qingyan and said “Big brother’s words are heavy, I’m just discussing the matter on its own merits.”

Zheng Pei’er looked at Wang Lu and said “Mother, Yuerong is your grandson. How can you let someone beat him up like this?”

Xiao Jingting sneered and said “Sister-in-law speaks as if my son is not mother’s real grandson.”

“Didn’t you always say that this son of yours was born from Xu Muan and other’s adultery?” Zheng Pei’er sneered.

Xiao Jingting smiled and said “Whatever I say casually, my sister-in-law shouldn’t take it seriously. Xiaofan looks just like me, how can he not be my son?”

“That’s enough! All of you shut up! You’ve only been back for a day and you’re already fighting. Go back and reflect on your mistakes.” Xiao Linfeng said angrily.

Xiao Jingting hugged Xiao Xiaofan and said “Since it is like this, Father, Mother, I will take these two brats back to reflect about their mistakes.”
