Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Husband, shall we go have a look?_1

An Jing hesitated for a while, then still said, ”Youbao, in an argument, it’s not enough that you’re just right; you have to express your point of view. The way you were so polite just now, not interrupting others like they do, that’s a guarantee that you’ll never win the argument.”

Wang Youbao forced a smile: ”I just wanted to reason things out properly...”

An Jing also knew that Wang Youbao was very well-mannered and would not argue with people, and he didn’t even know how to argue, but—

”That’s why you’re at a disadvantage! I bet they’re counting on exactly this about you, that’s why they dared to come to your doorstep and try to tarnish your reputation today! Did you hear how loud and aggressive they were just now? They didn’t give you a chance to speak at all. You think you can wait until they’re done and then slowly make your points? By that time, everyone will have completely believed their accusations about you disrespecting your elders, and anything you say then will be useless.” Although she herself didn’t care about reputation, she could tell that her friend cared deeply about his.

Wang Youbao forced another smile: ”That’s exactly why I thank you, for giving me a chance to finish what I had to say.”

An Jing looked up at the sky, feeling as if her previous words had been completely wasted. If someone came looking for trouble with him again, he would definitely still be polite and reason with them.

People have different personalities, and thus different approaches to life. Knowing this, An Jing didn’t say anything more, but instead asked, ”Why didn’t you mention anything about the previous ruckus Wang Youtao and the others made at your place?”

Wang Youbao let out a sigh before replying, ”That all happened several months ago, shortly after my father’s death. And since it wasn’t exactly something to be proud of, I didn’t mention it to you guys.”

After a pause, Wang Youbao continued, ”A few days ago, Wang Youtao did seek me out, despite the fact they don’t recognize me as family anymore and hadn’t had any contact for months. Even when we occasionally bumped into each other, they never showed me a good face. Yet, all of a sudden, they invited me over for a meal. I felt it was inappropriate, fearing they might have a scheme against me, so I didn’t go that day. Who knew they would create such a scene at my doorstep today, maliciously seeking to ruin my reputation.”

”You must not harbor ill intentions, but neither should you be without guard against others. Now that their attempt to harm you has turned against them, spoiling their own reputation, they will surely not let things rest easily. Be careful from now on,” An Jing warned.

Wang Youbao nodded and said, ”I’m aware of that. Now that Daming follows me every day, nothing should happen.”

It was then that An Jing finally turned to Yu Daming with a smile, praising, ”Daming, the way you hit Wang Youtao earlier was quite impressive.”

Yu Daming, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head and laughed, ”It’s all thanks to the military boxing you taught me, Mrs. An. I practice it every day.”

Wang Youbao immediately said, ”I also practice it, and all the house servants in my house practice it daily too.”

An Jing raised a brow: ”Then why don’t you show us how well you’ve been training?”

Wang Youbao laughed: ”That’s exactly what I meant.”

Only then did An Jing turn toward Xiao Changyi, her fingers interlocked with his, ”Husband, shall we go take a look then?”

Xiao Changyi’s face was still expressionless, but he gave a light affirmation, ”Mhm.”

Wang Family Backyard.

Wang Youbao’s household had ten house servants, including the four Yu brothers, and all of them were responsible for the Wang Family’s security and could also be referred to as Protectors. However, they all relied on brute strength, having never trained in martial arts, thus they weren’t very formidable.

Nevertheless, ever since they learned the military boxing taught by An Jing, these ten people had become slightly more formidable than before.
