Chapter 85 - 85 Xiao Lang's Martial Arts
85 Xiao Lang’s Martial Arts
Jian Qingqing nodded. “Originally, I wanted to send you to practice martial arts, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to go. Now, it seems that you don’t have to worry.”
Practicing martial arts was very tiring. The same movements had to be repeated thousands of times a day, and the horse stance or half-squat would take several hours. Not only was it tiring, but it was also very boring. Without perseverance, it was impossible to persist.
Xiao Lang shouted loudly, “I want to practice, I want to practice! Brother Ming, you said that as long as I complete the horse stance, you would teach me martial arts. So now that I have completed the horse stance, can I practice martial arts with you?”
Ming Zhiyan looked at his expectant eyes and nodded. “Every day, you have to come here.”
Hearing the exact answer, Xiao Lang cheered, “Sister, did you hear that? I’m going to practice martial arts in the future!”
Jian Qingqing asked incredulously, “Sir, are you really going to teach him martial arts?”
She originally wanted to send him to the dojo, but the people in the dojo were definitely not as powerful as Ming Zhiyan. If he was willing to teach him, Xiao Lang would really be lucky.
Ming Zhiyan nodded. “He’s very talented. The dojo in the county can’t teach him anything, so they will just waste his talent.”
Jian Qingqing happily said to Xiao Lang, “Xiao Lang, quickly thank Lord Ming.”
Xiao Lang loudly thanked, “Thank you, Brother!”
When they returned home, the Jian Family members were all stunned when they heard Jian Qingqing say that not only did she buy land, but Xiao Lang had also learned martial arts from the County Magistrate.
They did not understand how they had only gone out for a day and had already accomplished two major things.
Jian Qingqing said, “Grandpa, should we hire people to farm the land? There seems to be quite a lot of land this year.”
Old Man Jian shook his head and said, “Who can we hire? How much can there be in that little bit of land? The few of us can finish the work. Hiring people will also cost money.”
Jian Qingqing nodded. “Alright, then I’ll leave that cow to you guys. I’ll go buy another one.”
The cow did not need to be very good to haul goods. Any cow in the bull market was fine as long as it was not sick.
The next day, Jian Qingqing went to the bull market early in the morning. The manager who had been flattering Butler Huang earlier ran away with a guilty conscience when he saw her.
Jian Qingqing sneered in her heart. A villain was a villain. There was no need to stoop to their level.
This time, the one who served Jian Qingqing was still Manager Zhang. After hearing her request, he chose a cow of decent quality for her. Jian Qingqing pulled the cow and went home.
The Jian Family Village was already used to the arrogance of the Jian Qingqing family. They did not feel anything. However, what shocked them was that the Jian Rong family was going to build a house!
Who was Jian Rong? He was just an eight-year-old child. His father had passed away early. There was only his widowed mother and a sick grandmother in the family. It could be said that the conditions in the village were the most difficult. How could he afford a house just like that?
Everyone went to ask around and found out that it was Jian Rong who had earned it from doing business!
They also knew that Jian Rong had done business with Jian Qingqing. He bought stewed meat from her and then sold it elsewhere.
They had originally sneered at this. How much could he sell if he spent so much money buying stewed meat? How could he make money from this?
However, now, reality had slapped them in the face. Not only could they make money, but they could also make a lot of money!
For a moment, the villagers’ hearts began to stir. More and more people came to Jian Qingqing to inquire about business.
After Jian Qingqing told them the conditions, the price of the stewed meat alone brushed off many people.
Although they had made a lot of money selling the Iron-skinned Dendrobium, the Dendrobium had already been sold out. The newly grown ones still needed a few more years to mature.
In the short term, they did not have any income. They were also frightened by natural and man-made disasters over the years, so they wanted to save their money. They did not dare to invest too much money.
Only a few wealthy families wanted to give it a try. The Village Chief’s family was one of them.
