Xue yan said, “Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body. “Didn’t you all call me weak? I can’t even compare to Jiang Yue. 1 just want to practice martial arts and see how strong I can become. It doesn’t have to be someone I know, anyone that has practiced it before will do. It could be someone that has either studied or practiced martial arts. I want to see if there are any martial arts masters who can come to our village and teach me all they know. At that time,

Jiang Yue can also learn and play along. It won’t hinder me from taking care of Jiang Yue.”

Xue Yan was too frail. If martial arts could strengthen his body, they would naturally want Xue Yan to learn it. If his body got stronger, he would also get fewer illnesses. No one in the family had any objections.

Liu Guixia said happily, “If there really is a master who is willing to come to our village to teach you, that would definitely be the best. It will also save you the trouble of having to commute around.”

“Yes,” Xue Dafu agreed happily. Then, he said, “You can give Xue Yan more money later and ask him to hire a better martial arts master. We can rest assured that he’ll get the best of the best. Of course, as long as it is within our means, we will try our best too.” This was something he always wanted his two kids to learn.

“Of course!” Liu Guixia immediately responded with a smile,

“Thank you.” Xue Yan thanked him.

“What are you thanking me for? What a silly child.” Liu Guixia rubbed his head. “When will you ask around?”

“We’ll go later.” Xue Yan said.

Xue Dafu immediately said, “l can get a carriage and send you two to town later.’

Xue Yifu smiled foolishly. “I can do it, Erfu still has to go to Jinshan’s house for dinner. We’ve already agreed. You shouldn’t wait for Erfu alone.”

“That’s true.” Xue Dafu laughed.

Xue Sifu had already returned to their rice noodle shop in town two days ago.

As for the rice noodle shop, it resumed business as usual on the fifth day of the lunar month. However, at that time, only Xue Dagui and the others had returned to the shop. Xue Sifu was still at home and had only returned the day before yesterday.

“Okay.” Xue Yifu replied with a silly smile.

After Xue Yifu finished his breakfast, he went to his stable to bring a horse out and began to hitch it to the carriage. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also came. They helped wherever they could.

“These are Sifu’s clothes.” Liu Guixia took a big bag over with a smile and stuffed it into the carriage. “Yifu, don’t forget to give it to Sifu.”

“Yes, Mother.” Xue Yifu replied with a silly smile.

Liu Guixia also helped out wherever she could. Soon, the carriage was set up.

“Hurry up.” Liu Guixia began to lift the two children into the carriage.

Jiang Yue climbed up first followed by Xue Yan.

“Take some of this.” Liu Guixia then took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Xue Yan’s hands.

Xue Yan was speechless. “Mother, there’s no need for so much. If we really hire a martial arts master, we would have to pay him monthly. We won’t have to pay this much upfront.”

With that, he returned the bag of silver to his mother.

“l see. Alright then. I’ll pay for your classes every month in the future.” Liu Guixia quickly put away the bag of silver to avoid it being seen by others. “But do you and Jiang Yue have any money on you? You can’t go without anything.” “We have more than enough.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Liu Guixia was relieved.. Then, she asked Xue Yifu,

“Yifu, do you have money on you?”
