Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

This made Lu Changsheng inevitably hold some expectations for the children in the bellies of Shao Yuyao, Xiao Qing, and Guan Xin.

After informing the shopkeeper Zhang Shan, Lu Changsheng left and headed towards the White Jade Tower.

“Brother Lu, where are you going?” 

Passing by the Jade Feast Pavilion, the owner, Yu Maocheng, saw Lu Changsheng and greeted him.

Since they lived across from each other and their shops were next to each other, they would usually greet each other and chat for a while when they met.

Especially after a recent conversation where Yu Maocheng learned that Lu Changsheng was not a member of the Lu Family but rather a son-in-law, it felt like finding a kindred spirit.

He complained to Lu Changsheng about his marriage, expressing some regret about marrying into a cultivation family.

Although it was good to have powerful backing, it was also easy to be bossed around by his wife after marriage.

As a spiritual chef, he was busy every day, and he only had ten spirit stones of pocket money per month.

Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t resonate with this sentiment.

But he didn’t say much, just responded with a few words, expressing that it was not easy, and indicated that his wife was still reasonable in this regard.

At that time, Yu Maocheng didn’t notice Lu Changsheng’s tone and would come to drink and chat with Lu Changsheng whenever he had time.

It wasn’t until shortly after, when Yu Maocheng saw the bustling scene of women in Lu Changsheng’s courtyard, that he froze and fell silent.

At that moment, the way he looked at Lu Changsheng changed.

Of course, afterward, they didn’t become distant because of this incident.

Usually, things were the same; they greeted each other when they met, exchanged pleasantries, and invited each other to the Jade Feast Pavilion for meals.

But he no longer went to drink with Lu Changsheng and complained about his married life.

He knew that complaining to someone like Lu Changsheng was like playing the lute to a cow. He simply couldn’t understand their pain and had no resonance with it.

“I feel like there are too few maids at home, so I’m planning to go to the White Jade Tower to take a look,” Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

Then he warmly invited, “Brother Yu, would you like to come along? Let me tell you, this White Jade Tower…”

“Get lost, get lost, get lost!” 

Yu Maocheng heard this and immediately turned black-faced, quickly waving his hand.

“Brother Yu, as the saying goes, the great way should not be so small, and fellow cultivators should not be so few. So, the more fellow cultivators, the firmer the path in one’s heart!” Lu Changsheng joked, striding toward the White Jade Tower in search of enlightenment.

Watching Lu Changsheng’s back, Yu Maocheng couldn’t help but sigh slightly, showing a hint of envy in his eyes.

He knew that Lu Changsheng had more than ten maids at home and now he was going to visit the White Jade Tower.

Thinking of himself, he sighed softly.

At this moment, a woman in her thirties with a beautiful face came to Yu Maocheng’s side and said, “Husband, are you envying Lu Changsheng? Do you also want to take in a few concubines?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Maocheng was startled, not expecting his wife to be right beside him.

Immediately, he said with a serious face, “No, absolutely not!”

Although he had such thoughts, such things were absolutely not to be admitted.

However, before he could explain, the woman sighed softly and said, “Husband, we’ve been married for twenty years. In these twenty years, I’ve only given birth to four children for you—Feng, Yun, Yu, and Xue. Among them, only Xue has a Spirit Root and can cultivate. If you want to take in a few concubines, it’s fine.”

“Isn’t that inappropriate?”

Yu Maocheng said somewhat embarrassedly.

“It’s okay, dear husband. Whatever you like, I’ll help you choose,” the woman said gently with a faint smile. “How many do you want? Three, five, or ten?”

“No, no need. One is enough, just one.”

Yu Maocheng smiled and said.

“I see, Yu Maocheng, when I married you as a young girl, I not only ran this restaurant for you, but I also gave birth to four children for you. Now you think I’m old and want to take concubines, right?”

His wife’s face, which had been full of smiles a moment ago, suddenly turned cold. With a cold snort, she turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Yu Maocheng sighed deeply, knowing he had made a mistake again.
