You are unlucky and I am tough

The soap workshop was closed today, so Cheng Fu and Xu Daqing came to visit our house early in the morning. They were shy and embarrassed at first, but later they said that they saw Wei Nanxing's powerful martial arts skills that day and wanted to learn from him.

After obtaining He Zhou's consent, Wei Nanxing agreed to take them to practice boxing and kicking for half an hour every morning, on the condition that they insist on getting up before 5 a.m. every day.

In order to learn kung fu, the two agreed readily and later asked to compete with Wei Nanxing.

The result was a complete defeat.

Wei Qinglang was brushing his teeth as he watched the two men screaming as they were thrown. After rinsing his mouth, he couldn't help but speak, "Take the initiative to attack. Both of you should attack together. Don't just defend."

He Zhou, who was sitting in the yard, also said, "That's right, you can't defend it."

The two followed the instructions and went up together, but they both fell to the ground, holding their waists and waving their hands, saying they couldn't go on.

Wei Xinyi was watching the show from the side, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt.

He Zhou suddenly said, "Brother Wei, why don't you try it too? To be fair, let's just fight with fists and feet."

When they went into the mountains together before, he saw Wei Qinglang killing a baboon. His movements and techniques looked like he had practiced martial arts, so he could use this as a chance to test his apprentice.

"Brother, let's have a fight." Wei Nanxing was also eager to try.

"Brother Qinglang, avenge us." Cheng Fu and Xu Daqing watched the fun without a care in the world.

After Wei Qinglang made money from starting a business in his previous life, he developed many interests and hobbies. He learned a wide range of modern martial arts, including Sanda, fighting, Taekwondo, and free fighting.

Whether it is offense or defense, they are all trained by professional coaches.

He moved the joints of his hands and feet and said, "Okay, let's practice."

Cheng Shuang was in the room looking at the furniture drawings drawn by Wei Qinglang. The yard was noisy since early morning, but she ignored it.

After a while, they heard the fighting in the yard which was much more intense than before. Cheng Fu and Xu Daqing were waving flags and cheering particularly hard.

And Wei Nanxing's screams.

Cheng Shuang opened the door out of curiosity and was shocked to see two people twisted together on the ground in the middle of the yard.

Wei Nanxing was completely unable to move. Wei Qinglang grabbed his neck and asked, "Are you convinced?"

"I give in. I admit defeat." Wei Nanxing was having trouble breathing and his face turned red.

Wei Qinglang let go of his hand, and Wei Nanxing got up, his face and nose bruised, his legs numb and limping, and his wrists bruised.

Cheng Shuang glanced at Wei Qinglang and asked, "Are you trying to murder your own brother?"

"Madam, can't you see that I'm injured too?" Wei Qinglang pointed to the corner of his mouth where he was punched.

Wei Nanxing hurriedly explained, "I'm fine, sister-in-law. Master said that if you don't get beaten, you won't make any progress."

He Zhou used to train him, beating him until his whole body was covered with bruises. When he failed to learn how to fly over rooftops and walls, he would just kick him down from the roof.

Xu Daqing and Cheng Fu also had a bruise on the corner of their mouth and one had a scratch on their cheekbone.

Cheng Shuang was also impressed by their high energy to fight here so early in the morning. She went back to the room and took out three bottles of ointment. "Take it back and apply it on it for two days and it will be healed."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The three of them said in unison.

After the commotion, Cheng Fu and the others had to go back home to work in the fields.

The family was preparing to have breakfast, and Cheng Shuang was applying medicine to the wound on the corner of Wei Qinglang's mouth in the yard.

"Hiss, it hurts, my lady."

Cheng Shuang hit him, "What are you pretending to be? If you scream again, wipe it yourself."

The girls who were serving noodles were all grinning secretly.

After breakfast, Wei Qinglang went to talk to Guan the carpenter about making furniture. Cheng Shuang, who had nothing to do, followed him, and the two of them went out with the blueprints.

Before leaving, he gave Wei Nanxing a basket of watermelon seeds and asked him to take it to the foot of the mountain and teach the workers how to plant the watermelons.

It is already late April. The temperature has risen rapidly recently and the soil temperature is also suitable. If we plant it half a month earlier this year, we can eat it earlier.

Wei Nanxing planted watermelons last year and went out with the seeds. Yesterday, his brother and sister-in-law went out for the whole day and brought back some things when they came back. He thought the seeds were brought back yesterday.

It seemed like his brother and sister-in-law were hiding something from him, and he didn't know what way they found, but they always brought back some strange vegetable seeds.

But they didn't say anything, and he didn't ask any more questions.

"Nanxing is going to the fields."

"What are you planting? The vegetables we grow in your fields are all weird."

"What's wrong with your face? Didn't Wei Changgui go to your house and make trouble?"

The villagers greeted Wei Nanxing. Since the breakup of their relationship, every time he went out, he would always see people whispering to him.

Although the villagers thought that Wei Changgui deserved it and that the breakup was a good thing, it did not stop them from gossiping about the Wei family.

"It's okay. I accidentally bumped into it while practicing this morning." Wei Nanxing said perfunctorily, then quickened his pace.

"Xiu Xiu, look, that's Wei Nanxing, right? Isn't he different from before?"

Qian Xifeng, who was strolling with Cheng Jinxiu in the peach blossom forest, saw Wei Nanxing passing by a small path in front, and hurriedly pulled her and pointed to the front.

"So what?" Cheng Jinxiu was absent-minded, her mind full of thoughts about which scholars would come to the city today.

There weren't many places to visit in the village. Scholars who came to the village always liked to come here and recite poems and compose couplets in the pavilion beside the pond. She was waiting here specifically.

Several of Cheng Mingli's classmates came yesterday. Only one of them, who passed the imperial examination and had decent appearance and character, looked down on the others.

She was not very satisfied with anyone, including those who came to see her brother.

Zhao Xiuwen didn't go out today, and the people who came to see him were either rich or noble. She wanted to seize the opportunity to find a suitable husband for him before Zhao Xiuwen went to the academy for enrollment.

Qian Xifeng's attention was still on Wei Nanxing. "He used to walk with his head down, was honest and reserved, and spoke softly. Now he's like a different person. I heard from Cheng Fu that he learned Kung Fu, and when the people from the gambling house came to cause trouble, he took care of most of them by himself."

Cheng Jinxiu looked at her skirt absentmindedly, "What does it have to do with me? Do you think this skirt is a little too bright? Why don't you go back and change it?"

"It looks good, no need to change." Qian Xifeng perfunctorily said, and then continued, "I want to tell you that Wei Nanxing is fifteen years old, and we can say we are kissing."

"Why, you like him?" Cheng Jinxiu snorted coldly, "Don't you like my brother?"

Qian Xifeng's face froze. "Brother Wan Peng looked down on me before, and now that I've become a scholar, he looks down on me even more. I've met a lot of city people and rich young men recently, and I've seen it clearly. They look down on my peasant background and don't even look at me."

"My mother told me yesterday that she saw the soap workshop that Wei Nanxing was helping ship out goods. Those people took away several carts of soap, and Wei Nanxing also received a lot of banknotes."

Qian Xifeng grabbed a strand of hair in her hand and said, "Although the Wei family is also a peasant family, they can make money. They are also a good choice. Besides, they have so many servants at home. If I marry into their family, I can enjoy a good life."

"Didn't Wei Nanxing just go to work in the fields? How do you know you won't have to help farm the hundreds of acres of land at home after you marry him? Doesn't Cheng Shuang often come here too? I've even seen her working in the fields."

"That's because Cheng Shuang is incompetent." Qian Xifeng said with disdain, "You might not know, but because she couldn't have children, she and Wei Qinglang had a fight at home. The villagers saw it with their own eyes."

Cheng Jinxiu really didn't know about this. She thought to herself that the good relationship between the two was fake, and she immediately felt much better.

Qian Xifeng snorted, "It's been a year and she's still pregnant. How can she have the nerve to enjoy herself? Shouldn't she be more considerate and diligent? Otherwise, she would have been despised to death long ago."

"I'm different. My mother said I have a thin waist and a big butt, so I'll definitely be able to give birth, and I'll definitely give birth to a son."

Cheng Jinxiu listened to her shameless words and poured cold water on her. "Scholars and wealthy young men don't like you, so does Wei Nanxing like you?"

"Xiu Xiu, why don't you help me?" Qian Xifeng held her hand. "Think about it, if we marry into the Wei family, Cheng Shuang and I will both be the mistress of the Wei family. Maybe I can help you vent your anger."

Cheng Jinxiu thought about it and it made sense. "Let's go. It's still early. Let's go and take a look at their fields."
