In Mu's mother's eyes, the Gu family's children were all just little kids.

"I wasn't thinking about anything, I was thinking about words."

Mu Nanfang made up an excuse: his second brother's ambiguous smile was too annoying.

"Aren't you all on holiday? You have time to teach Xiaoxi instead of playing with the Mu family's kids all day long. Do something productive."

"I can't teach her. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist strangling her with my own hands. I haven't lived enough yet, and I don't want to lose my life because of her. Then you'll be the one to bury your child!"

Mu Nanfang really couldn't handle Mu Jiaojiao. She was not smart, lazy, couldn't endure hardship or anger, and he really couldn't stand her for even a minute.

"How can you talk like that, kid? Old Mu, aren't you going to discipline him?"

Mu's mother was also helpless with Mu Nanfang; she really had no way to deal with him. This child had always been more rebellious than others since he was little; he wouldn't listen to reason or obey punishment, which was a real headache.

"Jiaojiao, try your best first. If that doesn't work, find a tutor."

Commander Mu knew his own child well; he really wasn't suited to be taught by someone from the South, as he was likely to get beaten up.

"I don't want to go to university, studying is too tiring, boohoo..."

Being so disliked by her third brother, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't take it anymore and started sobbing. She really didn't want to study; she couldn't learn it, it was too tiring.

"Little Creek, don't cry. Why aren't you going to take the college entrance exam?"

When Mu's mother saw her daughter crying, she felt heartbroken.

"Studying is tiring, but what isn't tiring? Lying at home waiting for a windfall isn't tiring."

Mu Nanfang couldn't stand his mother's pampering of his younger sister. She was only one year younger than Liu Jiu, and the age difference was too great, so there was no comparison.

“Your sister is crying, and you’re still criticizing her.”

“What good will crying do? When she grows up, crying will get her food. Don’t expect us to support her for life; we have no obligation to do so.”

Mu Nanfang made it clear from the outset that he would have to support his wife and children in the future.

"We don't need you. Your father and I are still alive."

Mu's mother's tone also turned sour. Why did she dislike Xiaoxi so much? Wasn't she her own sister?

"Do you and your dad live forever? Can you take care of her for the rest of her life? If you don't let her suffer now, will she have to beg for food in the future?"

"Can't you three older brothers take care of your only sister?"

Mother Mu knew they would leave, but what about her three sons?

"Mom, you said it yourself, we are the older brothers, we have no obligation to support our younger sister. We will have wives and children to support in the future. You can't take it for granted. She is still young now, but she will grow up eventually."

An adult cannot rely on others to survive; that's unrealistic. My older brothers also have their own lives. Are they going to raise their grown-up sister instead of their own children?

Mu Nanfang didn't want to continue talking to his mother. He had said everything he needed to say and express.

"I've finished eating, I have to go out."

"Look at this child. How can he have no humanity at all?"

Mother Mu was furious as she watched Mu Nanfang walk out the door.

"What the third brother said is right, Jiaojiao. If you don't want to go to university, you have to be prepared to suffer. Your parents will take care of you, but your older brother and sister-in-law have no obligation to do so. If you think studying is hard now, there will be many more things that are harder than studying in the future."

After Commander Mu finished speaking, he got up and left. He needed to think about it; it was his own daughter, and he would take responsibility for her.

Breakfast ended on a sour note!
