"Based on what criteria is their ranking?"
Ling was also full of effort trying to understand the order Zhang San and the others had established and curiously asked Third Miss Gan, who stood beside him.
Third Miss Gan said with a smile, "The fourth position is reserved for a friend of Zhang San. As for the first two spots..."
"It's said that Zhang San insists on being called Brother San, claiming that a 'third brother' has a long life and he won't die even if others do. No one knows where he picked up that superstitious belief, so there is no 'eldest brother', nor a 'second brother'."
Ling didn't understand at first, and after hearing the explanation, he could only say he was even more confused.
Many from the Wang Family, however, were very dissatisfied with the outcome of this sworn brotherhood.
Putting age aside, why couldn't our Young Master Wang be the eldest brother? Even if he weren't the eldest, being the third brother would be well within his means!
