Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 61 Stone's Engagement (First Update, Please Subscribe)

In the early morning, sunlight shone warmly through the thin clouds onto the threshing ground outside the Jiang family's residence.

Jiang Fu'an had just led his three children out of the house, intending to go to the Misty Mountain Range, when he suddenly saw three people coming to the village entrance.

Having already become a cultivator, his eyesight was already extraordinary, and he could see the appearance of the person from a great distance.

Walking in front were Ma Ping and his wife Wang Zhiyue. To his slight surprise, a young girl was also with them.

The girl was slender, about the same height as her own daughter, He Miao, and wore a light blue pleated skirt.

"Why are they here?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Jiang Fu'an's mind, but he did not stop moving.

A warm smile spread across his face as he strode towards the village entrance: "Fellow Daoist Ma, Patriarch Wang, what brings you here today? You are truly rare guests!"

Ma Ping laughed heartily, raised his hands and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are too kind. We apologize for our intrusion in coming to your door. We hope we did not delay your business."

'

"Not at all, please come inside and have a seat!"

Jiang Fu'an quickly stepped aside, gestured towards his own courtyard, and spoke in an exceptionally polite tone.

After all, they plan to buy Qinglu Mountain from the Wang family later, so they can't afford to be negligent now.

At this moment, He Miao also stepped forward and gave a generous bow: "Hello, Uncle Ma and Aunt Wang."

Wang Zhiyue had noticed this mid-stage Qi Refining girl long ago, but didn't recognize her at first.

Hearing the address now, I suddenly remembered.

This is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, whom I met briefly a few years ago.

She quickly stepped forward, her voice filled with surprise and delight: "It's my niece, He Miao! You've grown so tall! I didn't even recognize you!"

"In just a few years, your cultivation level has almost caught up with your aunt's. That's truly remarkable!"

Ma Ping, observing He Miao with undisguised surprise, turned to Jiang Fu'an and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, has He Miao returned from the sect?"

As Jiang Fu'an led the three into the courtyard, he explained, "This child was homesick. He happened to have taken on a mission to hunt monsters in the Misty Mountain Range while at the sect, so he came back to stay for a few days."

Inside the main hall.

After the group sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, Wang Zhiyue pulled the girl who had been following behind her to the front.

The girl kept her head down, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt, her ear tips slightly red.

Wang Zhiyue patted her shoulder and looked up at Jiang Fu'an: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, although the marriage proposal between our two families didn't work out last time, my girl has always been thinking about Shi Tou."

"Later, we couldn't persuade her otherwise, so we had to swallow our pride and come back to bring it up again."

"We also know that Fellow Daoist Jiang values ​​stones, so we will not mention the matter of him marrying into the family again."

"If the Jiang family doesn't mind, Zhaoyun is willing to marry into the family."

Upon hearing this, the person most stunned was Stone, who was standing silently to the side.

He was originally planning when the guests would leave so he could go hunting in the mountains with his father as soon as possible, when he suddenly heard these words.

A girl likes me?

He subconsciously looked up at the girl.

Coincidentally, the girl also quietly raised her eyes at that moment, her gaze quickly sweeping over.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air before instantly separating like startled sparrows.

Shi Tou suddenly lowered his head, but his ears turned red uncontrollably, the redness spreading all the way to his neck.

Jiang Fu'an, standing to the side, still had a smile on his face, but he knew exactly what was going on.

He couldn't believe that this was Wang Zhaoyun's own idea; it was clearly Wang Zhiyue plotting something again.

Half a month ago, Ma Ping learned that he and Shi Tou had both broken through to the first level of Qi Refining.

Needless to say, the Wang family probably saw the potential in Shi Tou.

However, this time they no longer demanded that he marry into the family; instead, they were willing to marry their daughter into the family.

This left Jiang Fu'an somewhat puzzled.

These thoughts only flashed through my mind for a moment.

He chuckled and said, "It's Zhaoyun's good fortune that he's interested in my Shitou."

"But Shitou is only ten years old this year. Isn't it a bit too early to talk about marriage?"

He did not refuse outright.

After all, Qinglu Mountain is still in their hands.

Wang Zhiyue nodded: "It's indeed too early to get married now. But we can arrange the marriage first, so that Shi Tou can legitimately come to our Wang family to cultivate."

She turned her gaze to the stone that was still bowing its head and said earnestly, "This child can cultivate to the first level of Qi Refining in a place with scarce spiritual energy, so his talent must be quite good."

"Such a promising talent shouldn't be wasted."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fu'an immediately understood the other party's plan.

The Wang family is certain that the Jiang family has no spiritual veins.

Once the stone gets used to cultivating in a place with spiritual veins, it probably won't want to leave in the future.

At that point, what difference will it make whether or not the man marries into the woman's family?

What a brilliant, open strategy!

Even if you see through it, you can't refuse for the sake of the stone.

What a pity!

What Wang Zhiyue didn't know was that the Jiang family would soon have a spiritual vein as well.

In this case, the plan might end up "losing both wife and army".

Jiang Fu'an didn't think much of it and gently shifted his gaze to Wang Zhaoyun.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyelashes were lowered, and her gaze was fixed on the bluestone floor.

She had delicate features and a straight nose, making her a pretty girl in the making.

Besides, she has five elemental roots, so matching her with stones is quite suitable.

He glanced at the stone again.

The kid still had his neck stiff and head down, his earlobes so red they were almost translucent.

Jiang Fu'an found it amusing—only ten years old, and already knows how to be shy?

Finally, he looked at Wang Zhiyue, his smile filled with gratitude: "With such kindness from Patriarch Wang, our Jiang family naturally has no reason to refuse."

In his view, since it was just an engagement, there was no harm in agreeing.

Most importantly, becoming related to the Wang family through marriage will make purchasing Qinglu Mountain much easier in the future.

As for what happens to Shi Tou when he grows up, if he really doesn't want to, he can simply break off the engagement.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Wang Zhiyue's eyes—the glimmer of a successful scheme.

At that moment, both of them felt that they would be the ones who profited the most from this deal.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

The two sides had a harmonious discussion on the details of the engagement.

After they had finished chatting, Jiang Fu'an gave He Miao a wink while they were refilling tea.

He Miao understood and asked Wang Zhiyue softly, "Aunt Wang, there's something I'd like to ask you. I wonder what the Wang family's plans are for Qinglu Mountain in the future?"

Wang Zhiyue, being quick-witted, immediately guessed her intention and sighed softly: "Our Wang family trusted the villains and lost a hundred acres of spiritual fields. Now we can only accept our fate."

"We plan to send a few clansmen to manage it from now on. What, does He Miao have designs on Qinglu Mountain?"

He Miao nodded, her tone sincere: "That's right. When I went home this time, I saw that my father and his family were still living in this small place in Xujia Village, and their lives were quite inconvenient."

"Therefore, I was thinking of buying a piece of land so that my family could live more spaciously."

"I've been to Qinglu Mountain a few times; the landscape and layout are just right. If the Wang family is willing to part with it, the price is negotiable."
