Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1721: I’ll Keep It for You

An Yiqing took the opportunity to complain, ”Yeah, Dad and Mom, Second Brother is too much. He always gives expensive things to Qi’er and them to play with and teaches them to eventually give everything back to him. As a result, now, whenever Qi’er and them have something, they reflexively give it to Second Brother.”

An Jing: ”...”

Xiao Changyi: ”...”

Su Yixing, however, said matter-of-factly, ”Giving it to me is better than giving it to outsiders!”

An Yiqing retorted sarcastically, ”I think giving it to Boss is better than giving it to you!”

Su Yixing immediately chuckled with smugness, ”Boss wouldn’t go around asking for things like I do.”

An Yiqing snorted sarcastically, ”That’s right, you’re the only one shameless enough. Boss doesn’t have nearly as thick skin as you.”

Su Yixing said, ”Speaking of thickness, your skin is thicker than mine. Others admit their mistakes and change, but you know you’re wrong and keep doing the same thing. No wonder Boss always disciplines you.”

An Yiqing was furious but couldn’t fight with his second brother Su Yixing. So he looked to his family’s boss, ”Boss, Second Brother is always going around asking for things, this behavior is wrong. Why do you always punish me and not him?”

Su Yijing hadn’t spoken yet, but Su Yixing spoke leisurely, ”I only ask people for things if they’re willing to give. I’m not stealing or robbing. What mistake am I making? When you see something you like, not fighting for it is just not making a mistake?”

”Fallacious reasoning!” An Yiqing folded his arms, turned away, and showed Su Yijing the back of his head, no longer arguing with him.

Su Yixing thought he’d won and was feeling quite pleased with himself. Fortunately, his third brother always sparred with him verbally, making his debating skills sharper, so that most people couldn’t out-talk him.

”Hand it over.” Suddenly, Su Yijing extended his hand to Su Yixing.

”What?” Su Yixing, who had been smug, didn’t react for a moment.

”The key to your private stash.” Su Yijing didn’t mind speaking straightforwardly.

”Boss!” Su Yixing exclaimed in disbelief, voice raised significantly, clutching the key hanging around his neck tightly, refusing to give it to Su Yijing.

”I’ll keep it for you.” Su Yijing remained expressionless, speaking coolly.

Su Yixing didn’t believe him at all, ”Are you sure you won’t use the things inside?”

”Not sure.” Su Yijing’s tone still showed no change in emotion.

Su Yixing: ”...”

In the end, Su Yixing compromised, releasing the key from around his neck begrudgingly, as if it were being carved from his own flesh, handing it over to his boss Su Yijing.

”You deserve it!” An Yiqing gloated.

An Yiyun watched the drama play out the entire time. He was accustomed to his second and third brothers arguing constantly. Anyway, his family’s boss could handle them, so he could relax and not worry about a thing.

Seeing that their eldest son Su Yijing could manage her other six sons, An Jing and Xiao Changyi were particularly delighted.

Even though the children were never short of bickering, in their family, an unspoken agreement had formed — winning through age hierarchy.

Just like how An Yiqing, no matter how dissatisfied with his second brother Su Yixing, wouldn’t actually fight him.

Since it was about age hierarchy, among the seven children, Boss Su Yijing naturally became the leader.

”Hug... Dad... hug...” Suddenly, An Yizhi noticed Xiao Changyi squatting nearby, blinked his little eyes several times, then grinned, spreading his little arms, asking Xiao Changyi for a hug.

Seeing her youngest son wanted to be close to her husband, An Jing was of course delighted to accommodate, releasing her hold, allowing her youngest son to move from her embrace towards her husband.
