ch 380 - The Misunderstanding was Resolved; The Visit of the Parents 5 (2/2)

Cheng Biyuan frowned. He felt that the idea was a bit pre-mature.

“Not too soon!” Zhou Jinjiang took a look at them before turning to Cheng Xiao Xiao and asked, “Xiao Xiao, what are your thoughts?”

“Shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like we can’t support more people. It will be nice to have more bodies to help out around here. The question should be whether we will be able to recruit any disciples!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao also felt that if they really want to continue to grow, they will need more than just one or two people; they will need a collective group of individuals. The Cheng’s right now are a bit short on manpower.

Other than the houseboys and maids, it was just the dozen or so disciples from Willows. Even though they overall headcounts is over a hundred, but for a prominent family or a clan, that number is nothing. Naturally they would need to recruit more.

“It wouldn’t be that difficult to recruit disciples!” Mo Xuanzun chimed in suddenly. “father-in-law, all we need to do is to spread the news that any one below the age of 15 residing within Qing’an Province can join the Cheng’s Family. Ugh, father-in-law, have you thought about a clan name yet?”

“Can’t say that I have!”

Cheng Biyuan felt a bit helpless. He had never really thought about that before, so he had no choice but to throw that responsibility onto his daughter, “Xiao Xiao, would you like to come up with a name for our clan?”

“Dad, don’t you think it will be better for you to come up with one?” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure what to make of that.

“Nah, all the same. Why don’t you come up with something!”

“Well, in that case, why don’t we get anybody’s input on it?”

Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t think of anything right away so she passed it off onto everyone. Smiling, she said, “This place belongs to us all, so we should try to come up with a name together!”
