I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chu Shen, who obtained some insider information from Lin Kun, knew that the plan to expand the Chu family's residence in the Chongxue Collection had fallen through. The Chu family wanted to live more comfortably and needed a house outside the city.

No, it should be a manor or a village.

However, the living experience outside the city would not be as good. Even though the four major families did not prohibit their own industries from providing services to the surrounding villages and manors, it would not be as convenient as living in the Chongxue Collection.

There is also the issue of safety. In the Chongxue Collection, there are disciples from the Langxuan Tiangong Law Enforcement who provide protection. As a relatively neutral third party, many things are handled fairly, with the added benefit of social services.

In the wilderness, if there is an occasional encounter with a strange beast or something, it really depends on one's own strength.

This is damn...

"The four major families are not doing their job!" Chu Shen sighed as he explained the situation to his concubines at home.

"683" Chen Xiu, Chen Ying, and others who had not studied the twists and turns inside, acted based on their emotions and cursed along with Chu Shen.

On the other hand, Zhao Chulu, Hu Chuanshan, Fang Wenjuan, and other women from official, merchant, and family backgrounds were not surprised.

Zhao Chulu directly said, "Husband, you are being too harsh. The way the four major families handle things is just human nature. If it were our Chu family with their advantages, they might not act any differently. Even if you, as a husband, understand the greater righteousness and disdain this path, we, as women, might have to sacrifice others for the sake of our children and future generations."

Hu Chuanshan sighed: "All evil in the mortal world arises from self-interest. Those who possess self-interest are unwilling to easily give it up, while those who lack self-interest desperately seek to obtain it for themselves. Even in the cultivation world, where everyone seeks immortality and enlightenment, they are still only seeking their own interests."

Fang Wenjuan felt this deeply because she originally had a fiancé, but when Chu Shen rose to power, her father, Fang County Lord, forced her to break off the engagement and gave her to Chu Shen as a concubine.

The feeling of having one's fate controlled by others, of being powerless, was even more heart-wrenching than the obstacles Chu Shen faced in expanding the Chu family's estate.

"Husband, noble families, hereditary families, how are they passed down through generations? Do they rely on their own accumulation? There is no such pure noble family. Beneath their golden splendor lies the withered bones of the common people. Without the fat and grease of the people's sacrifices, how can noble families thrive and prosper?

It is only because we are weak that we are seen as commoners. If we were strong, noble families would be nothing more than your obedient dogs, and their wealth and children would be yours for the taking."

Looking at Fang Wenjuan, this delicate concubine possessed the dignity brought by her background in a scholarly family. Even in the bedroom, before losing herself, she would strive to maintain her rationality.

He knew about her situation, but he had gradually become accustomed to the customs of Dongxuan Heaven and didn't pay much attention to her past. As long as she became a good wife and mother in the Chu family and they lived harmoniously, and as long as she was willing to respond to his affection, it was enough.

The result was quite satisfactory. Women from Dongxuan Heaven didn't ask for much, and the overall environment valued loyalty. Compared to those on Blue Star who were excessively demanding and greedy, and had low moral character, they were truly like celestial beings. Chu Shen deeply loved them, and they were willing to respond to his love.

But looking back today, in a sense, were the things he had done any different from the Chongxueji's Four Great Families?

No, they were not.

It was nothing more than back in Nanping City, where I freely occupied the top ecological niche, but in the Chongxue Collection, the four major families used their accumulated power to thwart my plans.

Li Lingyu, on the other hand, is a bit foolish. Her father is a money-minded general who didn't teach her anything profound about how to navigate the world. After listening to a few "clever" sisters, she was completely confused: "What are you all talking about?"

Chu Shen looked at her and felt a sense of joy. The slight annoyance he had before suddenly turned into happiness.

The reason is simple. This foolish girl is always used as a scapegoat by Zhao Chulu, Hu Chuanshan, and Fang Wenjuan. When she can't handle the pressure, the three women cherish their own bodies and always use sweet words to comfort her through the storm.

Unfortunately, she is unaware of this and truly believes that she is capable. She holds on to concepts like "the persistence of a general's daughter" and "let me show you my determination," thinking she can handle it, but she often ends up defeated and exhausted.

She's just a happy-go-lucky person.

Chu Shen patted her head and said, "It's nothing. We just need a bigger house, so we're planning to build a new one. But it's hard to find land in the city, so we'll have to build a manor in the outskirts."

Li Lingyu didn't think about anything else and was overjoyed to hear that the Chu family was going to build their own manor. She jumped up excitedly, "Really? Husband, build a training ground for me, the kind where I can ride horses. It's been so long since I last rode a horse. It would be great if I could try riding with Baiying!"

Shen: "...Chu, you really aren't afraid of being beaten by Baiying, huh?"

After being stirred up by Li Lingyu, Chu Shen's anger dissipated. After discussing with the concubines, they decided to build their own estate outside the city.

It doesn't matter if Chongxueji is convenient or not. We can simply recruit more people from Nanping City. The Chu family can afford it!

"Now we can see the brilliance of my husband's recruitment of wandering cultivators," said the concubines after making this decision. Especially Fang Wenjuan, who was well versed in this matter, smiled and said, "Although our Chu family doesn't have a well-developed spiritual power technology like the four major families, with the help of wandering cultivators, we can still be self-sufficient in many aspects. We are not completely controlled by the technological dominance of the four major families, and we have a promising future."

Chu Shen was indeed pleased to hear this.

The main reason is that Qian Duomeng and others have already shown their value.

Qian Duomeng and his wife are low-level cultivators, but they have considerable talent in the preparation of medicinal herbs. After Chu Shen gave her some knowledge related to alchemy, she made rapid progress.

Now, the medicinal herbs produced by Qian Duomeng's family are not only enough for Chu Shen to practice alchemy, but also have surplus. They have also gained some reputation in the medicinal herb market in Chongxueji. It is the first profitable industry for the Chu family in Chongxueji.

Other wandering cultivators are also good, such as Gongshu Ze, a Qi Refining sixth layer cultivator who has some talent in mechanical arts. Although he has not received formal systematic education, he can still create many spiritual power mechanisms and is skilled in woodworking and ironworking.

The furniture and other items in the Chu family are all made by Gongshu Ze. Not only for personal use, these furniture and small spiritual power toys can also be sold in Chongxueji. However, the quantity of goods is not as high as Qian Duomeng's flourishing medicinal herb business.

With the encouragement and recognition of the concubines, the retainers have also earned him face. As for the four major families, they are nothing to worry about. Who's afraid of whom?
