Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1910 - 1911: His Body Can’t Take It

Seeing that An Yizhi was warned by their father, Su Yixing and the others dared not say anything, standing there obediently, waiting for their father to speak.

Xiao Changyi did not let them stand for long before speaking: "This family is not harmonious or peaceful; neither your mother nor I will be happy. If you wish, by all means, continue to slight your sister-in-law."

"Father, of course, we don’t want you and mother to be unhappy!" An Yiqi argued. "It’s just, father, whenever we think about how eldest brother went to Wufeng because of her, making you and mother sad for so long, even turning your hair white, we can’t bring ourselves to like her!"

Xiao Changyi said: "Once your sister-in-law married into our family, she became one of us. I don’t care whether you like her or can accept her. Outwardly, you must all behave peacefully; don’t create any unpleasantness. You wouldn’t want your mother and me to grow more white hair from worrying about your relationship with her, would you?"

"That seems to make sense..." An Yilin, who was wiping his hands with a handkerchief, nodded and looked towards his brothers, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, why don’t we just dislike her in our hearts and not show it on our faces. Otherwise, father and mother will surely worry about our relationship with her, and if they really grow more white hair because of this, it would truly be our fault." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Sixth brother is right!" An Yizhi agreed. "If our bad relationship with her results in father and mother getting more white hair, how are we any different from what eldest brother did in the past?"

An Jing tried hard to sit next to her husband without any expression, though she was stifling her laughter.

Her husband always had a way of dealing with their sons.

Su Yixing and the others thought it’s better safe than sorry. If their father and mother really grew white hair from worrying about their relationship with Feng Feiyan, their sister-in-law, they would surely feel terrible. So, they agreed: "Alright, we’ll keep it in our hearts, after all, we don’t wish for family disharmony."

"Cough." Suddenly, An Yiyun coughed softly, making everyone immediately look at An Yiyun with concern.

Seeing An Yiyun wave his hand to show it’s nothing, An Jing then said: "Yun Er, it’s getting colder now, why didn’t you wear more clothes? Go back and put on more clothes. Your health isn’t like your brothers’; you must take good care of yourself."

Their son’s health was frail. He looked no different than a normal person but was more easily prone to illness.

"Mother, I know, I’ll go back and add a layer right away." Saying this, An Yiyun walked out.

Su Yixing called after An Yiyun’s back: "Fourth brother, remember to take the tonic I prescribed you!"

"Got it, second brother." An Yiyun turned around to respond, then continued walking to his courtyard.

Once An Yiyun’s figure disappeared from sight, Su Yixing addressed Xiao Changyi and An Jing: "Father, mother, last night I checked fourth brother’s pulse, and his condition has worsened again. I think you should dissuade him from being this minister; his body can’t handle it."

An Yiqing and the others also agreed repeatedly: "Second brother is right; he shouldn’t be this minister at all!"

Xiao Changyi frowned but said nothing.

An Jing sighed and said: "Your father and I have tried to persuade him many times, but he just doesn’t listen. He says he likes this lifestyle and feels it gives his life value. Otherwise, staying idle at home makes him feel useless."
