Chapter 1815 - 1817: The Human Heart Is Naturally Biased

"Can’t we negotiate a bit? Can’t I hire a big bunch of bodyguards in the future?" Lele asked pitifully.

"There’s no room for negotiation. If you don’t train yourself well, you can’t hire bodyguards."

Ye Zi’an firmly refused, noting that even bodyguards can make mistakes.

Moreover, no matter how skilled someone else is, it doesn’t bring peace of mind like having your own martial arts skills.

"It’s best not to let Dad hear Xiao Er say you’ve been lazy," Ye Zi’an snorted and continued, "or else, be careful, Dad might make you kneel in the ancestral hall."

"Haha!" Yangyang laughed, as if he received an imperial decree, "Brother, you should be careful. But come to think of it, no one has knelt in our family’s ancestral hall yet. I wouldn’t mind you setting an example for us."

"Shut up!" Lele shot him a cold glance, irritated. This annoying younger brother just loved to gloat over his misfortune and desperately needed a good beating.

"I don’t want to shut up!" Yangyang stuck out his tongue and laughed mischievously.

Lele glared at him, tempted to hit him, but didn’t have the strength to do so.

"Alright, enough arguing," Yang Chuxia interjected, "Lele, on this matter, your mother and father agree, and there’s no room for negotiation. It must be this way, just as Yangyang must study with the teacher; it’s necessary. In the future, even Yueyue and Qingqing will need to train."

"Even Yueyue?" Upon hearing that even his daughter was included, Ye Zi’an was not happy. His daughter was so small and delicate; how could she be involved in such rough activities?

"Dear, let’s leave Yueyue out of it. She’s a girl, and if she trains in swordplay, she might get calluses on her hands. If safety is a concern, I’ll hire a few female bodyguards for her in the future."

Ye Zi’an didn’t notice that as soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes turned toward him.

Lele was the first to speak, "Dad, how can you do this? That’s way too biased! Yueyue can hire bodyguards, why can’t I?"

Ye Zi’an felt no embarrassment, stubbornly replying, "You’re a boy, Yueyue is a girl. Boys should work tirelessly, while girls need to be pampered a little." Ye Zi’an thought to himself, "This dumb kid, really clueless. Boys are tough and sturdy. How can you compare them to girls who are delicate and precious?"

"Ah, big brother, just accept it," Yangyang stepped forward and patted him, "In our family, boys just aren’t worth much."

"Mom, do you think the same?" Lele turned to Yang Chuxia, "You trained, so why can’t my sister? Hmph, Dad, I’m not dragging my sister into this hardship. I just have one request: If I don’t train, I can hire bodyguards in the future. You can’t be this biased."

"No way!" Ye Zi’an snorted, "There’s no fairness to talk about on this matter. Besides, human nature is biased. If you can make Dad’s heart a little less biased, then I’d agree with you."

At this point, Ye Zi’an laughed smugly.

Who isn’t biased? Find me someone who isn’t!

"Oh my god!" Lele covered his face and rushed off, "I have nothing to say!"

"Where are you running off to? We’re about to set off," Yang Chuxia shouted at him.

"I’ll go wait in the front courtyard first." Lele waved his hand behind him and quickly walked away.

If he didn’t leave soon, he might start spitting blood.

"Oh!" Yangyang sighed at his brother’s fleeing back, "Dear Dad, you really are something. I’m heading to the front courtyard too. It’s not easy being a boy in the Ye Family."

As he walked away, he shook his head.

"Hey, those two brats!"

Yang Chuxia laughed coldly, "You’re really too much! Girls can’t train? What pampering are you talking about? When I was young, I was cutting grass in the fields, you know. Letting her train in martial arts is for her own good, why are you stopping her?"
