Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 240 0239: Zhang Chuqi's Family Concept

After Zhang Chuqi left the Cheng family, he took the special carriage arranged for him by Zhou Zhendong and returned to his home.

When Zhang Chuqi arrived home, he did not see his two sons, so he asked his wife, "Where did Zeyu and Zepei go?"

Zhang Tian was in the kitchen, holding a bamboo sieve with some dried vegetables in it, ready to take them to the yard to dry. As she passed by her husband, she said:
"I heard that the Ministry of Industry of the Tianduan Gang is hiring again, so I went to take a look. It's not good to always do temporary work. You didn't even arrange some for your two sons, so you're working there for nothing."

Zhang Chuqi frowned and said, "It is because I am over there that I cannot act on my own. If I abuse my power for personal gain, how can I live with myself in the future? Besides, Zeyu is a decent person, there are some things he cannot do.

Well, needless to say, I have found a job for Zeyu. I have mentioned it to the young master, asking him to take over my job and take care of the Cheng family's affairs. This way, the young master has someone he knows well and Zeyu also has something to do. Do it well, the young master is not a stingy person, and he will have a chance to come forward. "

Hearing this, Zhang Tianshi was immediately excited and asked, "Really? Did the young master really agree?"

At this time, two women came out of the inner hall. They were both thin and frail. They were holding clothes and needles in their hands, and it seemed that they had just been mending clothes in the inner hall.

The two of them also heard what their father-in-law just said, and looked at him excitedly.

Zhang Chuqi shook his head slightly: "Not yet, I have to let the young master take a look."

At this time, a woman in light gray clothes asked, "Dad, where is Zepei?"

Zhang Chuqi glanced at her and said, "He will have things to do later. It's enough for you to follow the young master Zeyu for now. He is also steady in handling affairs."

As he said this, he looked at his wife and said with a smile, "Young Master has also given our Zhang family a business, which comes from a secret recipe. In the future, our Zhang family can also rely on the Cheng family."

Zhang Tian asked curiously, "What's the secret recipe?"

Zhang Chuqi shook his head slightly: "The young master will tell me later." Then he looked at the woman in the big house and said quickly: "Old lady, put down your work and go to the Tianduan Gang to call them back. I have something to tell them. Go quickly and come back soon."

"Ah? Oh, I'll go now." Zhang Zhaoshi quickly turned and went into the inner hall, put down the needlework in her hands, and then left in a hurry.

A quarter of an hour later, the group of three hurried back.

The leader was a young man with a slightly dark complexion, a strong physique, and a very good spirit. Although he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he walked steadily and powerfully, unlike the slightly thin but somewhat anxious young man next to him.

"Dad, what happened that made you call us back?" Zhang Zeyu entered the inner hall and asked after bowing.

At this time, in the inner hall, there were not only adults but also children.

The eldest wife had two children, a boy and a girl, twins, both seven years old.

The second wife, Zhang Wang, had two children by her side, a girl and a boy, five and three years old respectively. She was holding a baby who was a few months old in her arms.

"Mother of the child, eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, take the child in first." As the head of the family, Zhang Chuqi has absolute say in the family.

So after hearing his words, Zhang Tian immediately brought her two daughters-in-law and children into the main room.

When Zhang Zeyu and Zhang Zepei saw this, they looked at each other and realized that it was a big deal.

After the rest of the people entered the room, he looked at his two sons and said seriously:

"Next, what Dad said is only known to our family. Don't tell anyone else."

The two brothers nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Zhang Zepei said, "Dad, please tell me. We are not talkative people."

Zhang Chuqi said, "The young master has already given us a favor. Based on the favor given by the young master, I have also made arrangements for you two brothers.

First, there is a place for martial arts training. I plan to give it to the eldest grandson Fengcheng, he is seven years old, just right for martial arts training. The second child, you have to understand this, Fengyi is only two years old, there is no way. "

Things that need to be said need to be said clearly, lest the younger son feel that he is biased and create a rift with the family.

"Dad, I know. Jenny is only four years old."

Yanni is the eldest daughter of the second wife, only four years old. At this age, even the eldest son of the second wife would not have a chance.

Zhang Chuqi nodded and continued, "Boss, you will take over my job and take care of the Cheng family's internal affairs. You know this, so I won't say more. You must remember clearly what you should and shouldn't do."

Zhang Zeyu was also surprised to hear that he would be arranged to enter the Cheng family. But he was more worried: "Dad, I'm worried that I won't do well and will cause trouble for you."

Zhang Chuqi smiled and said, "You have this idea, which means you are determined to do well. You used to work with me in that family, and I trusted you. As I said before, you have to know what to do and what not to do. You are working for the Cheng family, so you must consider the Cheng family. When Fengcheng becomes a warrior in the future, you have to consider that he is working under the Cheng family."

"Yes, Dad, I'll remember it." Zhang Zeyu replied seriously.

Zhang Zepei looked at his elder brother with some envy, and then looked at his father with longing eyes.

He had no objection to his father's arrangement. He was not as good as his elder brother in managing household affairs, and his son was only two years old, let alone martial arts training. But he also wanted to do something.

"Second brother." At this time, Zhang Chuqi looked at his second son and said in a slightly slower tone: "You know your own personality very well. Although you are not as steady as your eldest brother, you are relatively independent. Although you are a little out of tune at ordinary times, you don't cause any trouble. You can't sit still either, so I plan to hand over the business given by the young master to you to manage."

"What business?" Zhang Zepei was also happy to hear that he could do business. He just liked dealing with people?
Zhang Chuqi shook his head slightly, poured cold water on him, and said, "It's not clear yet, but no matter what business the young master gives you, it's a gift. This is what I think, you two brothers listen."

At this point, Zhang Chuqi's expression became more serious than before, and he said in a very solemn tone: "I have been the steward of that family for twenty years. Although the time is not long, I have seen many families in the county rise suddenly and fall overnight.

In addition to factors caused by external forces, many of these families also have internal reasons.

Our family is a small one, but now the opportunity has come, and it is also the beginning of the rise of my Zhang family.

So, you two brothers, remember this. No internal strife or conspiracy!
Boss, you follow the young master to do things. Fengcheng will be a warrior in the future, and he will help the second brother to develop the Zhang family. Warriors are also the second factor for the Zhang family to stand firm. The first factor is the Cheng family, so. The premise of all this is that the interests of the Cheng family and the Tianduan Gang cannot be harmed.

Second brother, the family business will be handed over to you, and your responsibility is to develop the Zhang family. But remember one thing, this is not something you can do alone, nor is it something you can fight for.

Your eldest brother manages the Cheng family's relationships, and is the main person in charge, while you can do business with peace of mind, and are the main person in charge. Therefore, the two brothers must cooperate with each other, and neither of them can be missing. This is the foundation for our Zhang family's business to last and for the family to rise.

When I die in the future, you two brothers cannot split up the family. If you do, it will only take a day for the Zhang family to return to its current situation.

In addition, I also know that whether the family is harmonious or not has a lot to do with the person you sleep with.

Remember, if it involves the long-term interests of the family in the future, whoever dares to stir up trouble with the future generations will be divorced! It is said that the harem cannot interfere in politics. Although the family cannot be said to be involved, they must also know the weight and measure. What a wife should do is to assist her husband in being a second-rate person and educate the descendants well, rather than sowing discord, letting you calculate gains and losses, and strive for unilateral distribution of interests.

You should consider the long-term interests of the entire family and their descendants, not just this little bit of gain or loss! Do you understand what I mean?"

"Dad, I remember it!"

"Dad, don't worry!"

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled. They were good brothers to each other, and their wives and families were harmonious. In addition, they had gone through difficulties together in the past few years, so this situation would not happen.

But they also understood that their father had seen many such problems, and because he was concerned about the development of future generations, he spoke so seriously.

"Okay." Zhang Chuqi said, "Our Zhang family has not yet gained momentum, so we will slowly improve our family rules later."

At this time, Zhang Zepei asked: "Dad, is the young master of the Cheng family really that good? If he is not in charge in the future, what will happen to my eldest brother? What will happen to our Zhang family?"

Zhang Chuqi stared at his second son and said word by word: "Young Master is the backbone. With his prestige, no one dares to disobey him even if he is not in charge. This is his strength and prestige! Don't think too much, think carefully about what to do next."

"Dad, what about the courtyard that the young master gave you? Are you really not going to live there?" Zhang Zepei asked again.

"It's enough as long as it's enough for you to live in. Why are you so greedy?" Zhang Chuqi glared at him and said, "When your children grow up, use the money we earn to buy a bigger one."

The two brothers didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, Zhang Chuqi brought his eldest son and grandson to see Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang, who was still analyzing the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, met them. After a round of greetings, Zhang Chuqi said:
"Master, this is my son Zhang Zeyu and my eldest grandson Zhang Fengcheng. My grandson is already seven years old and meets the requirements, so I want to send him to Zhenwu Hall."

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhang Fengcheng. The boy looked immature and nervously held his grandfather's hand. He didn't dare to look at Cheng Zongyang. But Cheng Zongyang asked:
"Fengcheng, tell me, do you want to learn martial arts? Learning martial arts will be very hard and tiring, and you have to persevere and practice day after day."

Zhang Fengcheng suddenly became nervous again. He looked up at his grandfather. Seeing that he didn't look at him, he looked at his father. But he didn't look at him either. He was at a loss.

"Don't be nervous. Just say whatever you want to say." Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang knew that he had not been arranged or instructed in advance. Otherwise, if he had followed the instructions, it would not have turned out like this.

Hearing this, Zhang Fengcheng relaxed a little, and after being silent for a while, he said in a low voice:

"I, I listen to my grandfather and father. If they want me to learn, I will learn."

After these words came out, Zhang Chuqi and Zhang Zeyu, both father and son, sighed secretly. But they did not dare to scold him, as they had not expected Cheng Zongyang to ask a child this question.

"What if they don't tell you? Do you want to know?" Cheng Zongyang asked with a smile.

Perhaps because of what he had just said, Zhang Fengcheng felt much more relaxed and nodded:
"Yes. My father said that we are men and we should do something for our family to make life better. I heard Er Gouzi say that warriors can help families live a good life. Er Gouzi is a neighbor and friend of my family. What he wants to do most is to be a warrior. Yes, he runs faster than a dog."

Zhang Chuqi and Zhang Zeyu, both father and son, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the child with satisfaction. They were just worried that he would say that he didn't want to learn.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Okay, starting tomorrow, you, as a man, have to fight for your family. Your family still needs your protection."

"Yeah, okay!" Zhang Fengcheng raised his head, seeming a little excited. He was very proud of being appointed to a position like a child playing house.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhang Chuqi and said, "When you go back, go to Tianduan Gang to find Li Lu and tell him that I arranged it. Send him to the gang tomorrow and he will be trained and studied in Tianduan Village. Don't worry, the Zhenwu Hall has two days off every month. You can go to see him or take him home for a reunion."

"Yes, it's all up to you, young master." Zhang Chuqi said excitedly.

"Thank you, young master!" Zhang Zeyu also hurriedly bowed and did not forget to pull his son to bow.

Cheng Zongyang waved his hands: "This is what you deserve. No need to be polite. Then Zhang Zeyu, you..."

Next, Cheng Zongyang asked him some questions.

Seeing that many issues regarding administrative management were answered in an orderly manner, he looked at Zhang Chuqi with satisfaction: "Like father, like son, housekeeper, you are good at teaching by example."

"Thank you for the compliment, young master." Zhang Chuqi bowed happily again.

"It's up to you to decide when to take over."

Cheng Zongyang didn't set a time limit or anything, and he wasn't in a hurry for manpower. It was just that the housekeeper was missing, and the maids and servants seemed a little messy.

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Chuqi bowed again, but then said:
"Master, we have found the two courtyards you requested. They are both on Southwest Street in the city. I think the environment there is good, so it would be a good place for Mr. Chen and his family to live."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly when he heard this, but then he remembered something and frowned, "Why didn't you live in the house I gave you last time? Isn't that yard to your liking?"

Zhang Chuqi heard this and quickly said, "No, no. I just thought that the house over there is big enough for me to live in, and I can see and take care of my grandson if I live in the original house. It will be a bit empty and deserted if I go over there."

Besides, that is the southern part of the city, and it is not suitable for us to go there. So I thought that when I make money in the future, I will buy a similar house in the west of the city, and the whole family can move there in the future. Master, you can let some other friends live in that house in the future, as long as they clean it regularly. "

Cheng Zongyang didn't say anything more after hearing this. He was the one who made the arrangements.

He could understand Zhang Chuqi's thoughts. First, he was sensible and not greedy, and did not dare to deal with the house casually. Second, he was afraid of being bored, and worried that there were too many children and his daughters-in-law could not take care of them.

As for more concerns, Cheng Zongyang could guess some of them, but he didn't say much. He just reminded: "In the future, just use the things I give you without worry. Don't think too much. Arrange the two houses, tell Li Lu later, and then notify them."

"Yes, young master. Then I will withdraw first." Zhang Chuqi said.

"Yes." Cheng Zongyang responded and handed him a wooden box: "Inside are the business items for your family. The instructions and the red blood mushroom strains are all inside. Just cultivate them according to the instructions. In the future, the Cheng family's medicine shop will have a lot of demand, so go ahead and cultivate it."

"Yes. Thank you, Master!" Zhang Chuqi suppressed his emotions and bowed again.

After the three of them left, Cheng Zongyang's spirit entered the wilderness world.

He already had a clear understanding of the various positions in the Chamber of Commerce. He needed to discuss with Luo Dingran, listen to his suggestions, and see how to maximize the benefits.
