I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 934 - Chapter 934 Asking for a Favor

Chapter 934: Asking for a Favor Chapter 934: Asking for a Favor Editor: Atlas Studios The three little ones surrounded Little Bear and fought to see the firearm, fighting non-stop until they returned home.

Seeing the four children make a din, Qi Haoran headed to the study room as if the soul-stirring confrontation in the morning had never happened.

He knew that he was insensitive, but he didn’t expect the children to be even more so than him.

Fan Zijin also dug his ears in disbelief and asked him, “What did you say just now?

Who did you say was the one who came up with the shocking plan?” It must have been because the carriage was too noisy or the wind was too strong that he did not hear it clearly.

Qi Haoran looked at him disdainfully.

“How old are you this year to have such poor hearing?” Qi Haoran looked at Little An, who was in the center of the group of children, as if he was looking at a treasure.

He said admiringly, “I think Little An is more like my son.

If it weren’t for the fact that our families didn’t have a child born on the same day, I would have suspected that we had carried the wrong child homeaEUR|” Fan Zijin sneered as an answer and turned to leave.

“You won’t be able to give birth to a child like Little An even in another ten tries.” Qi Haoran hurriedly followed and said indignantly, “Why not?

I’m a military genius.

Why can’t I give birth to a military genius?” Fan Zijin went straight to Qi Haoran’s study and found a seat to sit down.

Taking the tea Fei Bai served, he said contentedly, “Which one of Little Bear, Tiger Head and Little Lion isn’t talented in war?

Do you think Little An is just a military genius?

He has a photographic memory when he reads books.

He is adept at drawing inferences from everything he learns.

Other than martial arts, he can master the most complicated subjects after reading them three times at most.

Are you confident that you can give birth to such a smart son?” Regarding this, Fan Zijin was full of pride.

Although his son was too smart and was not as pure-hearted as Tiger Head and Little Lion, in terms of intelligence, he was confident that his son was not inferior to anyone.

Qi Haoran could only glare at him.

Because Fan Zijin was right.

Coupled with the past incidents involving those children, Qi Haoran had nothing to retort to that with.

The three children were really at an active age.

Almost everything they saw was novel to them.

Even something like a stool was enough to pique their interest enough to tear it apart to examine.

Of course, Little An was the one who came up with the idea.

Then, Little Lion would guide and Tiger Head would carry it out.

However, whether it was the Little Lion who guided or Tiger Head who executed it, they couldn’t restore it after dismantling it.

It was always lacking either this or that.

Instead, Little An, who had been standing at the side silently with his hands behind his back, could instruct the two of them to assemble the parts and restore the item to its original form.

Some time ago, the three boys had sneaked into their parents’ room and stolen the jewelry box on Ah Ling’s table.

There were a total of five layers to the jewelry box, and there was even a hidden compartment inside.

Even a craftsman would probably not be able to restore it after dismantling it, let alone a child.

However, Little An only saw it once and remembered most of the steps.

He brought Tiger Head and Little Lion to his mother’s room and secretly tore apart Little Madam Xia’s five-layered jewelry box.

The two jewelry boxes were not exactly the same, but the principle was similar.

After dismantling the two jewelry boxes, Little An managed to restore them.

That day, it scared the masters and servants of the two manors half to death.

First, Spring realized that the Princess Consort’s jewelry box was gone.

Then, she found jewelry and jade from the jewelry box spread across half the bed.

Who would steal jewelry boxes instead of precious jewelry and jade?

The figures of the few brats appeared in Spring’s mind.

Then, Spring asked someone to pack up the items while bringing people to look for the brats.

However, instead of finding the brats, she was informed that the jewelry box of the madam next door had also gone missing.

Though, it was not gold, jade, or jewelry that was lost, but just the jewelry box containing them.

Hence, the Fan Residence also joined in the search.

By the time Mu Yangling returned from patrolling the shops, more than half of the house had already been searched.

Seeing that the two residences were in a mess, Mu Yangling asked Spring and Butler Xia to call everyone back.

“With this fuss you’re making, you could scare the children into hiding instead.” After the servants left, Mu Yangling brought Spring to their usual hangouts to look.

They searched everywhere but didn’t see anyone.

This time, Mu Yangling had no choice but to take it seriously, even a little flustered.

These boys wouldn’t run out just to hide from them, right?

However, after thinking about it, she rejected the idea.

Although there were few servants in the residence, security was always tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

It was extremely difficult to come out and enter the house.

The children could only move freely in the inner estate like this.

When they reached the outer estate, there were sentries and patrols.

Mu Yangling thought for a long time and finally went to her own small study with the intention of giving it a try.

She usually read and practiced calligraphy in her small study.

Important things like account books were in Qi Haoran’s small study, so there was no one guarding this room.

Even the cleaning was done only once every five days and no one was allowed to enter normally.

When Mu Yangling pushed the door open and entered, Little An had already instructed Little Lion to restore a jewelry box.

As Tiger Head was slower, even with Little An’s step-by-step instructions, he had only finished restoring half of it.

Seeing Mu Yangling enter, the three children clearly panicked for a moment.

As if they had been caught doing something bad, they threw down their things and ran to hide behind the bookshelf.

In the end, Tiger Head couldn’t stand the silence in the room and carefully stuck out his head to apologize.

Only then did the other two children stand up and admit their mistake with their heads drooping.

Because the matter had blown up, both Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin came to learn about it.

Fan Zijin wanted to punish Little An by making him kneel in the ancestral hall, but Mu Yangling forcefully took over the punishment of the four children.

Although Fan Zijin usually didn’t agree with Mu Yangling’s ways, he had to admit that she did know a thing or two about disciplining the children.

She had disciplined all four children before, including the Crown Prince, so Fan Zijin could only watch from the sidelines.

Mu Yangling knew very well that when it came to punishing children, she had to first let the children know exactly what they had done wrong.

Hence, she got the three children to reflect on themselves deeply and write a confession letter.

It had to specify what they had done wrong and if they would do it again.

Secondly, she had to mete out a punishment that struck their sore spots.

For example, she wouldn’t punish Little An to copy books or punish Tiger Head and Little Lion to squat because this wasn’t painful for them.

Hence, the next day, the three children each went to their parents and started crying and repenting.

Because Tiger Head and Little Lion had to copy the ‘Standards for being a Good Pupil and Child’ ten times, and Little An was punished to squat for half an hour in the morning and evening respectively, for three days.

This was simply hellish torture for them.

At this moment, after he finished recalling the incident, Qi Haoran couldn’t stand the smug Fan Zijin anymore and said, “Stop flattering yourself.

You weren’t so smart when you were young.

Little An is much better than you.” Fan Zijin snorted and said, “No matter how much better he is than me, he’s still my son.” Qi Haoran gritted his teeth, but he was not without regrets.

In his opinion, Zijin was also very smart when he was young, but he was bound to family struggles and no one had guided him.

His energy was used to fight with his father’s concubine and her sons, to fight with his uncle, to protect himself and him.

How could he have the extra energy to come into contact with other things and learn more knowledge?

If Fan Zijin had grown up in Little An’s environment, he would definitely have greater achievements.

Though, the feeling of pity was brief and he quickly continued to bicker with Fan Zijin with a cheeky smile.

Fan Zijin glanced at him smugly.

In the end, he restrained the expression on his face and said, “I’m not very good at teaching children.

Little Madam Xia only knows how to raise children and doesn’t know how to educate them, so I’ll have to trouble you and Ah Ling to take care of Little An.” Fan Zijin’s voice was slightly low as he said, “I know that Little An is my son.

He’s devilishly smart, and that can be a good thing or a bad thing.

He’s still young and needs the adults to guide him.

I’m very happy to see that he’s cheerful and kind now.”
