The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

"No matter what happens, we should be prepared for anything, shouldn’t we, unless Master you order us to take action against him."

"Take action against him?" Tian Jizi’s eyebrows twitched as he said, "Do you mean you want to kill him? That would be breaking the rules. Besides, he’s not a fool; do you think he’s that easy to kill?"

"Rules are inflexible, but people are adaptable."

"But..." Tian Jizi pondered for a moment, stroking his long beard, and said, "The situation is of great importance; I need to give this some thought. Ajing, you have made considerable progress this time, speaking with much more steadiness. You’ve truly grown up; your master is very comforted. Hmph, on the contrary, your senior brother is becoming more and more improper."

Jin Zijin: "..." Why is it back to this again?

"You are right in your instruction, Master. I will speak to him later," Jin Zijin replied, looking agreeable.

"Yes, he does need a talking to," Tian Jizi yawned and said, "I’m old and have been traveling all night. I’m going to take a nap first; you all go on out."

Jin Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, watched Tian Jizi enter the inner chamber, and then withdrew.
