The hierarchy must not be confused

Back home, after putting the child to sleep, Fang Jing went to the living room and looked at the young couple, Yang Ding and Ye Rou.

She placed her left hand on her slender waist, and ran her right hand through her hair, stroking it repeatedly while sighing.

"I'm so stupid. I'm not usually this stupid. I haven't been sleeping well lately because I've been taking care of the kids."

"I'll get the three of us killed."

Yang Ding felt an irrepressible excitement, but he dared not show it. He could only nudge his wife's leg to get Ye Rou to step in.

"Sister Jing, oh no, Second Sister, if you keep pulling like that you'll go bald."

Yang Ding: -_-||

Fang Jing: ? ? ?

The change in the way Ye Rou is addressed is truly shocking.

"You brat, who are you calling 'Second Sister'? Can't you be serious for once?"

Ye Rou's face showed a kind of excitement, like a serf who had been liberated and was now singing.

She used to be the youngest, and Fang Jing and Ye Ke were both very principled and would often argue.

After comforting this one, she has to comfort that one.

Now it's her turn to be the eldest sister, all thanks to her husband.

"Honey, I feel so good."

Sure enough, married girls tend to go astray.

Fang Jing was so angry her heart ached. She stomped her foot and said, "Another woman stole your husband, and you're not angry at all? You're actually happy about it?"

Other women won't do, you're different.

"Don't laugh. How dare you agree to the marriage so readily? Ye Rou has the right to veto it. You should be calmer than me standing here."

Ye Rou shrugged. "I'm just being very calm. The system has already matched you up. If I reject it, you'll be matched with someone else. The ranking matches are all very bad choices, making it seem like you're unwanted."

"How bad could it be?"

Ye Rou stood up, hands on her hips.

"Hey, Jingmei, how dare you say my husband—no, all of our husbands—is bad?"

This girl doesn't play by the rules, leaving Fang Jing speechless.

"Don't pretend to be cute."

"I'm the first wife, you're the second wife, why would I pretend?"

Fang Jing has already registered her marriage with Yang Ding, so legally speaking, he is indeed her husband.

Even though Ye Rou is two years younger than her, she is the senior member of the family, so it's not wrong for her to call her Jingmei.

Fang Jing, who is usually eloquent and unforgiving, was speechless at this moment because of Ye Rou.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that I've had really bad luck."

"This could be the beginning of a wonderful life."

Then Ye Rou started doing the accounting. Although she was sometimes a bit absent-minded, she was quite good at it.

"Our combined salaries amount to 16 per month, which is enough for the three of us. If that's not enough, there's my sister. She's been promoted to captain in the Northern Army, and her monthly salary is probably no less than 15. With 30 a month, she could easily support 10 children."

"Besides, we're both capable and can protect our husband and children."

Ye Rou's analysis was correct; they were all very wealthy in terms of money and material possessions.

Fang Jing is another concern.

"What I'm saying is that Yang Ding might be a sword hanging over the heads of the powerful and wealthy in Jiangling City. If I become his second wife, it might exacerbate this conflict and harm him."

Ye Rou didn't think much of it and quickly looked at Yang Ding, "Husband, is that so?"

"Jingjie is right, but her perspective is wrong. As long as my sword is still hanging there, it's fine. In fact, it can serve as a buffer between the two sides. But if they kill me, the sword will fall."

"Unless the city lord of Jiangling dares to openly rebel."

Fang Jing never expected that Yang Ding, a boy from a pig farming background, would have such insight.

She has this insight because she has parents who hold important positions.

"are you sure?"

"Of course, even if they wanted to kill me, they wouldn't dare to do it openly. They would only do it secretly when they went down into the cave. In that harsh environment, when the two sides were evenly matched, no one should be able to kill me easily."

Ye Rou loved listening to Yang Ding analyze the situation; she nodded enthusiastically, like a little fangirl.

"My husband is right. Besides, even if we hadn't married him, wouldn't he be in danger working on the farm?"

"That's true."

"My husband said that danger is unavoidable, and we must face it bravely for the sake of our family."

Ye Rou stood up, placed her hand in Yang Ding's hand, and said to Fang Jing, "Come on, Sister Jing, from now on we are family."

Fang Jing placed her slender hand into Yang Ding's left hand as well, "But you have to grant me one request."

"Sister Jing, please go ahead."

"We can be a family forever, but we can't have sex. We agreed last night that this is just a delaying tactic. We'll get a divorce after Ye Rou gives birth to her three children."

"No problem," Yang Ding replied readily.

They're husband and wife in name only, and they live under the same roof, so why would they worry about not being able to eat together?

"To make up for what I owe you, I will give you three million in compensation when I leave Jiangling City. In addition, you can take Ye Rou's child to Donghai City to seek refuge with my father at any time. I can still find you a job in the law enforcement team."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Yang Ding really likes the women of this era.

First of all, they did not use their fertility or beauty to blackmail men; in fact, they knew how to make fair deals and compensate men for what they owed.

Ye Rou said the same thing back then.

You can do without a man, but you can't go back on your word.

Ye Rou furtively raised her slender hand, "Um... Husband, you're the head of the family, should I call her Sister Jing or Second Sister from now on?"

"Why are you so fixated on this?" Fang Jing asked.

"The seniority system can't be messed up," Ye Rou argued.

"Ahem, listen to the head of the family," Yang Ding said, feigning seriousness.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

"I've always wanted an older sister, so I'll call you Sister Jing. Ye Rou has always wanted to be the big sister, so you can call her Sister Rou."

Fang Jing could only roll her eyes at Ye Rou. "Sister Rou, hello, I'm your Jingmei. From now on, you'll be the eldest sister in this family, so please take good care of me."

"Hey, Second Sister, you're so sweet. We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Ye Rou even raised her voice deliberately.

She's all about having fun and can easily get carried away, while Fang Jing is more mature and composed.

"Uncle Yang, you need to hurry up and practice the Nine Sword Forms. The second round of weekly tests is the day after tomorrow. You must win and become the team captain to reduce the risk of being murdered."

Ye Rou nodded, "We don't know if that old witch Xiang Lan will say anything to Xiang Tianyou, so we must be careful."

"Don't worry, I feel like I'm about to break through to the second level of the lower grade."

Both women asked simultaneously, "So fast?"

Ye Rou quickly took out the force gauge. "Honey, give it a try."

Yang Ding got a feel for the move and threw a punch.

Ye Rou was utterly stunned when she saw the numbers on the screen.

"1300 pounds, honey, you've already passed the first-grade mid-level realm, you're too strong."

"No wonder you're so confident," Fang Jing said with a smile. "From now on, I'll allocate 30,000 yuan from my salary each month to buy you cultivation resources. Ye Rou can transfer true energy to you, but the spatial system relies on mental power, so she can't help you much."

1300 jin of strength is simply not enough for a gifted youth class.

But the two women knew that Yang Ding had put in a lot of hard work and effort for this.

As soon as Yang Ding stepped onto the rooftop, Mao Jian rushed over and slid down to his knees, almost kowtowing.

"I bow to the gods and saints, please accept this humble ant's homage."

Seeing that all the instructors were looking at him, he quickly pulled Mao Jian up.

"Are you out of your mind? What are you doing?"

"They say you married Instructor Fang Jing, is that true?"
