18: Husband, how about taking another concubine?
Feng Ming arrived at the main hall.
Sure enough, he saw the whole Family eating breakfast.
He usually did not come here for breakfast, so when he appeared today, everyone was stunned.
Especially when everyone saw that he had actually stood up, they all excitedly put down their bowls and chopsticks.
"Minger! Are your legs really better?"
Feng Family Eldest Uncle Feng Muqing put down his chopsticks, stood up in a flash, walked to Feng Ming, and tremblingly touched his legs.
"Better, they are truly better, really better."
"From now on, our Family has one more hope."
Feng Family Eldest Uncle's voice trembled; his joy was visible to the naked eye.
Feng Ming nodded, "Eldest Uncle, I am truly better, and I have even reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."
These were all his kin.
He did not mind sharing the good news with them.
In his father's generation, the Family only had two brothers.
By their generation, there were even fewer people; Eldest Uncle and Father only had two children in total.
And he was born with an Innate deficiency.
The Family could be described as having a dwindling population.
However, Feng Ming was confident that he could expand the Family's lineage and enlarge the clan.
Having received a positive answer, Feng Muqing kept saying "good."
Feng Ming's father, Feng Muyang, was even shedding tears of old age.
"Good, my son has stood up, good indeed."
The Eldest Uncles Wife on the side also secretly wiped away tears.
When Feng Ming's mother was pregnant, the Family encountered trouble, and she took a fatal blow for the old master, Feng Xiaotian.
This resulted in Feng Ming not being miscarried, but he was born with an Innate deficiency.
His mother held on with her last breath and passed away shortly after giving birth.
Feng Ming could be said to be a child raised single-handedly by the Eldest Uncles Wife.
Seeing Feng Ming stand up at this moment, she could not help but weep with joy.
"Minger, you have finally stood up."
Feng Ming nodded. Seeing that everyone in the Family was happy for him, he felt very good.
The key was that these relatives made him feel extremely warm.
Feng Muyang walked over and touched Feng Ming's legs with his own hands, clearly still finding it hard to believe. After all, it had been sixteen years. During these sixteen years, he often woke up from dreams, hoping it was just a dream, but he was disappointed every time!
How could he dare to believe at this moment that Feng Ming had actually stood up?
Feng Ming smiled.
"Father, I am really better. Look, I am truly at the Foundation Establishment Stage of cultivation."
To make his father believe him, Feng Ming released his Aura on the spot.
"Indeed, it is indeed the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"Good, good indeed. Our Family has produced another Genius. At sixteen, without even entering a Sect, he has already reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."
"Good lad, your strength is even more impressive than your elder brother's."
Feng Muqing sighed with emotion, his eyes full of affection for his Junior.
Grandfather Feng Xiaotian also looked gratified.
Feng Ming's legs had been like a giant boulder pressing on his heart for sixteen years.
Today, it had finally been lifted.
"Minger, I heard you went to the Linglong Pavilion yesterday. Have you figured out the reason for the recent sluggish business?"
Feng Ming raised an eyebrow, "Grandfather, you know?"
Feng Xiaotian sighed, "I am the head of the Family; I know all the business of the Family. The Linglong Pavilion has not been doing well recently, but it is still the best shop of the Family."
Feng Ming nodded. He had never doubted his grandfather's love for him.
Moreover, this shop had some element of compensation, given because he was forced to marry his sister-in-law, so it naturally wouldn't be bad.
"Grandfather, rest assured, I have already thought of a way to solve the problem, but I am not planning to let Huidan Workshop off either."
Feng Xiaotian nodded, "You have your own ideas. Make your own decisions regarding business matters. If you really can't make up your mind, come find me."
Feng Ming agreed.
"The Linglong Pavilion is still considered a big shop in Liumian Prefecture, and even it has been squeezed by the other side to this extent. I fear those individual traders have already reached a desperate situation. If you have the spare capacity, help them out."
Feng Ming nodded. In Liumian Prefecture, the Family had always been kind to others. Originally, they could have dominated the market alone and controlled the entire market.
But Grandfather did not do that. Adhering to the principle of leaving a way out for others, he gave a portion of the market to individual traders.
And he also provided much help to the individual traders.
Now that there is a rival setting up a scheme and fighting a price war, the Family has some foundation to withstand it, but it is hard to say for the individual traders.
"Grandfather, rest assured. I will not ignore those individual traders. Furthermore, regarding Huidan Workshop selling medicine at low prices, I have also found a way to deal with it. I have developed several types of Pill Formula that can increase the yield of Medicinal Pill by tenfold. I already arranged for an Alchemist to refine them yesterday!"
"We should be able to see the results today!"
"What? Tenfold the yield?"
The Eldest Uncles Wife was also startled upon hearing this and hurriedly said.
"In this way, our cost price will be reduced, and we will no longer fear the other side fighting a price war."
"Indeed, behind Huidan Workshop is the Huangfu Family. They want to annex the market of Liumian Prefecture and dominate it alone. We absolutely cannot let them succeed."
The Eldest Uncle was filled with righteous indignation.
The Eldest Uncles Wife looked at Feng Ming with anticipation.
"Minger, since you already have a solution, what about our other Family shops... How about you take over the management of these shops?"
"Our Family is one body, and the Eldest Uncles Wife also believes you can manage them well! I hope you will prioritize the overall situation!"
Feng Xiaotian was the head of the Family and would inquire about Family business, but the main person in charge was the Eldest Uncles Wife.
Feng Ming smiled.
"Eldest Uncles Wife, you are overstating it. Feng Ming trusts your character!"
"I really don't have much energy to manage so many shops. Rest assured, I have already instructed them that as long as it is a Family shop, they will have a share of the refined Medicinal Pill!"
The Eldest Uncles Wife said excitedly.
"Good, good! Feng Ming, rest assured, our Family shops will follow your lead!"
"Go ahead and do it; the Eldest Uncles Wife will definitely support you!"
"I will also have people keep an eye on news about the Huangfu Family. Once our prices are brought down, they will certainly not give up."
Feng Ming cupped his hands, "In that case, I will trouble the Eldest Uncles Wife."
When Feng Ming returned to the Qingfeng Courtyard, Jiang Shuwan had not yet woken up.
He didn't have the heart to wake her up and planned to go to the shop alone.
But just at this moment, Jiang Shuwan let out a soft moan.
"Husband!"
Feng Ming looked at her, "Awake?"
"Sorry, last night I had too much energy and was too happy; I must have tired you out."
Jiang Shuwan's face flushed red. It would have been fine if her husband hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, her mind was filled with images of herself crying and begging for mercy yesterday.
Thinking of this, she shot Feng Ming a coquettish glance and replied with a blushing face.
"Husband is really wicked."
Jiang Shuwan had the thought of finding a sister to share the burden for the first time.
It was just a pity that she had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place, otherwise she would have arranged it immediately.
