Chapter 836 Default

Chapter 836: Default Chapter 836: Default Editor: Atlas Studios Mu Yangling blinked and took a closer look at Little Lion and Tiger Head.

Could it be that after two years, she couldn’t differentiate between twins again?

She stared at the two children for a while before calling out hesitantly, “Tiger Head?” Tiger Head, who was munching on a drumstick, looked up at his mother in confusion.

“Mother, what’s the matter?” Mu Yangling then turned to look at Little Lion who was still trying to put food into Tiger Head’s bowl and asked, “Little Lion, what did you call your older brother just now?” Little Lion picked up a piece of braised pork belly for Tiger Head with a serious expression and said to his mother seriously, “I called him ‘Little Brother’.

Mother, I’ve swapped positions with Older Brother.

In the future, I’ll be the older brother and he’ll be the younger brother.” Qi Haoran lowered his head and ate, pretending not to hear anything.

Little An looked at Little Lion with a look that said, “Brother, you’re so stupid.” Then, he continued to eat slowly.

Obviously shocked, Little Madam Xia widened her eyes and looked back and forth at the twins.

They could swap their titles like that?

Mu Yangling turned to look at Qi Haoran.

Seeing his guilty expression, she immediately gritted her teeth.

However, she did not say anything in front of everyone.

She only vaguely said to Little Lion, “Hurry up and sit down to eat.

Don’t give your older brother any food.

He can eat by himself.” At night, Mu Yangling’s loud voice could be heard from the main room, “Qi Haoran, let me tell you, if you can’t get them to correct this, you’ll have to sleep on the soft couch outside!” Mu Yangling placed her hands on her hips and looked at the two children.

“The first to be born is the older brother.

Little Lion, because Tiger Head was born before you, he’s your older brother!” Tiger Head didn’t appreciate his mother protecting his rights at all.

He puffed up his face and said, “I want to be the younger brother!” Little Lion also shouted, “I want to be the older brother.

Second Brother has already agreed, and Daddy has agreed too.” Qi Haoran nodded slightly at the side and argued, “Ah Ling, Tiger Head is so much more like the younger brother.

I think the reason why he was born first must be because Little Lion gave in to him, pushing Tiger Head out first before coming out himself.

According to the order, Little Lion should be the older brother.” Mu Yangling was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

Seeing that the two little ones were both looking at her persistently, she gave up and said, “Fine, go ahead.

Let’s see how you’ll answer to Big Brother when we get back to the capital.” The order of the children had to be written into the genealogical tree.

As the two children had yet to be named, their names had not entered the genealogical tree.

However, when they returned to the capital this time, they would definitely worship their ancestors and open up the ancestral hall to write the names of the two children into the genealogical tree.

When the time came, the elders would ask about the order of the children.

Mu Yangling wanted to see how Qi Haoran would answer to that.

Qi Haoran touched his nose and ushered his two sons to the small bed to sleep.

Then, he hugged Mu Yangling and explained softly by her ear, “I just think that Tiger Head is simple-minded and listens to Little An and Little Lion.

If he’s the older brother, it’ll look absurd if he follows behind his younger brother all the time.

In that case, we might as well just let him be the younger brother.

That way, Little Bear and Little Lion can make the decision for him when he needs guidance.

Wouldn’t that be nice?” “You make it sound like your son is brainless.” Mu Yangling felt that Tiger Head was perfectly normal.

“He’s only two years old.

What sort of decisions do you reckon he needs to make?” “Little Lion does listen to Little Bear and Little An, but he also has his own ideas.

However, Tiger Head doesn’t really have a mind of his own.

When he plays alone with Little Lion, he listens to Little Lion.

No matter what, he’s only born 15 minutes earlier than Little Lion.

How can he be so clueless?” Qi Haoran said in distress, “As the older brother, not only does he have to set a good example, but he also has to protect and take good care of his younger brother.

But when the two of them are together, which one do you think takes care of the other more?” Mu Yangling couldn’t understand.

“Why must it be that the older brother has to take care of the younger brother, and not the other way round?” “Would he still be the older brother then?” The couple stared at each other.

Mu Yangling only found out today that Qi Haoran also had obsessive-compulsive disorder, seeing his insistence that the older brother has to be the one to take care of the younger brother!

Neither of them could convince the other, so Mu Yangling snorted and said, “Up to you.

As long as the children don’t fight over the rankings when they grow up, it’s fine.

Also, you can settle the genealogical tree yourself.” Overjoyed, Qi Haoran held Ah Ling’s head and kissed it.

“Don’t worry, leave such a small matter to me.” Once Mu Yangling let them be, the two children officially confirmed their ranking.

Little Lion happily hugged Tiger Head, who was as tall as him, and called him “Little Brother”.

Tiger Head also obediently called Little Lion “Older Brother”.

The servants serving outside didn’t know that the two brothers had exchanged their rankings.

When they heard Little Lion call Tiger Head “Little Brother”, they bowed to him and said, “Second Young Master, you forgot to keep your toys last night, so I placed them in the toy box for you.

Do check if there’s anything missing later.” “Nonsense.” Little Lion shouted, “I clearly put it away.” Tiger Head raised his hand and said, “The toy is mine.” Confused, the servant girl said, “But the words ‘Second Young Master’ is written on the box…” The two children blushed and explained to her that from now onwards, ‘Second Young Master’ would become ‘Third Young Master’, and vice versa… Not only was the servant girl at a loss, but the two children also confused themselves.

Mu Yangling burst out laughing at the side.

She turned around and said to Spring, “Leak this matter out so that there won’t be a lawsuit in the residence.” Spring agreed with a smile.

As Mu Yangling got someone to fetch Little Bear back, she also got the servants to pack their luggage.

This time after leaving, they would probably never come back.

It would be a waste to keep this house, and they would have to expend manpower to look after it.

Since Mu Yangling had no intention of keeping this house, she had to find a buyer.

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin could not understand Mu Yangling’s behavior.

Why would they sell this house when they had plenty of servants and money at their disposal?

Wasn’t it common for officials to have farmsteads, houses and shops everywhere?

Mu Yangling said, “When this house was built back then, we built it with security and size in mind.

It’s not very exquisite inside.

If we don’t sell it, how many people do we need to leave behind to clean and manage it?

Once you are relieved from your official duties, the public fields will have to be handed over, and we’ll only be able to harvest enough food for that season.

As for the private fields we spent money to purchase, we only have those fields outside.

I’m afraid the income from the farmstead won’t even be enough to cover the expenses of repairing this house.” Unable to convince Mu Yangling, Qi Haoran could only tell Little Bear this bad news when he returned.

Before Little Bear could recover from the shock of his second brother becoming his third brother, he received this shocking news.

Howling, he rushed to find his mother.

He hugged her leg and cried, “Mother, if you sell the house and the farmstead, what will happen to my academy?” Mu Yangling’s body stiffened.

She had really not thought of this.

“Mother, Blackie and the others are so pitiful.

They’ve only just started learning craftsmanship.

If we sell the farmstead, their new owner will definitely not want them to go to school again.

Then, all my years of hard work will have been in vain.

You can’t sell the house and the farmstead.” “Then tell me, who should I leave behind to look after the house?” The stewards who were standing outside the reception pavilion and listening to the announcement trembled.

None of them wanted to stay.

After their master left, they wouldn’t have much of a future here looking after this bit of assets.

Little Bear’s heart ached for money even more than Mu Yangling’s.

When he heard this, he said, “Just leave it to Blackie’s father and ask him to help take care of the house.

Since our family owns a shop in the city, we won’t have to fear that Blackie’s father will covet our house.” Mu Yangling thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll give you this house and let you take care of it, okay?

No matter what you use it for, you’ll have to sell the farmstead once the house is sold.

If you want to keep the house, I won’t give you a single cent of the money to manage and repair the house.”
