Xiahou Xi, pulling the boy with the punk hairstyle, said in a calm voice tinged with anger: "Tang Haishan, you are not my brother, nor are you a family member. I don't know when you arrived, but you have to bear criminal responsibility for blowing up the family building!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Haishan addressed Xiahou Xi by his full name: "Xiahou Xi, you're the leader of the Northwest Army Corps, yet you can't even make decisions about a single building. What kind of leader are you? You should just go home, get married, and go to the birth bank to have children!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Shuixiu reached out and pretended to hit Tang Haishan: "Your sister is a general in the Northwest Army Corps, she is the honor of our family, and you are the only boy in our family, she will definitely take care of you!"

"What criminal liability? It's just a building. She was just joking with you. You should apologize to your sister right now. She won't hold it against you, right, Xiaoxi?"

The only boy in the family?

The familiar art style hits you right away.

Jiang Si crossed her arms and looked with great interest at Tang Haishan, who had a flamboyant, "emo" style, and the elegantly dressed middle-aged woman.

With this kind of family education and this unruly child, and with no family fortune to inherit, how could he say such shameless things?

Xiahou Xi stood his ground, his voice calm yet authoritative, addressing his mother by her name: "Lin Shuixiu, you are my mother. You can live in the military dependents' housing and use my allowance!"

"But Tang Haishan is different. He is not my family member, nor is he my relative. He illegally moved into the family dormitory and destroyed it. He must be interrogated, compensated, and held criminally responsible!"

Tang Haishan forcefully shook off Xiahou Xi's pull, pointed at Xiahou Xi, and arrogantly shouted, "You ungrateful wretch, Xiahou Xi! Without my mother, you wouldn't be where you are today!"

"You think you're so great now that you're a general? Let me tell you, I'm the one who blew up this building. I did it because I had nothing better to do. You want me to pay compensation and face criminal charges? No way!"

The surrounding family members began to criticize: "Where did this person with such a loose tongue come from? The legion belongs to the military and is supported by taxpayers' money. Every brick and every tile of the legion is public property. Damaging public property is a matter of course to compensate!"

"General Xiahou did the right thing. Young man, you are a member of the Xiahou family, so you should take the lead instead of holding General Xiahou back!"

“Mother Xiahou, children need to be disciplined more. If they are not disciplined, they will become unruly. Although children are scarce and difficult to raise now, we cannot let them run wild!”

Upon hearing so many people criticizing him, Tang Haishan's fiery temper flared up instantly. "All of you, shut the hell up! What's it to you? If you're so capable, let your husbands, daughters, brothers, and sisters become generals!"

"If your family members become generals, you can all act as arrogantly and do whatever you want like me. If you don't become generals, then shut the hell up! I'm disgusted by people like you who are ignorant and ill-mannered!"

They are ill-mannered themselves, yet they accuse others of being ill-mannered.

They are ignorant themselves, yet they accuse others of being ignorant.

That kid has a big face; I wonder if it'll be even more exciting when we start fighting, and if it'll swell up even faster!

Jiang Si clicked her tongue. Xiahou Xi seemed weak in front of her family, and her actions were not at all like those of a female superior.

Does she have some unspeakable secret?

Does her family really have an empire to inherit, so she has to protect a brat?

The family members were outraged and their words became sharp: "Young man, you can't speak so harshly. The Legion isn't the Xiahou family. What you're doing is breaking the law, do you understand?"

"General Xiahou, this kind of person must be held criminally responsible. He must be thoroughly interrogated; he's too outrageous!"

"Who are you calling outrageous?" The brat Tang Haishan reached out to hit the person who called him outrageous.

Xiahou Xi grabbed his wrist, pulled his arm forward, and kicked him in the shin with his military boot.

The brat Tang Haishan was kicked to the ground and fell face-first into the dirt.

Lin Shuixiu immediately pounced on Xiahou Xi's leg dramatically, slapping it hard: "Xiao Xi, what are you doing? Your brother isn't well, how could you throw him like that? Move your foot away quickly, stepping on him will hurt him!"

Xiahou Xi frowned deeply after being hit. Just as he was about to speak, the inspector suddenly squatted down in front of Lin Shuixiu, innocently echoing her and rebuking her: "General Xiahou, your younger brother is still a child. It's inevitable for a child to make mistakes. How can you, as his older sister, be so harsh on him?"

The other family members surrounding them were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other. How could this pretty, petite girl talk to such a brat?

Xiahou Xi stared intently at Jiang Si, unsure of what she was going to do, but one thing was certain: she was probably doomed. Her military career was about to be ruined by her mother and Tang Haishan!

After Jiang Si finished speaking, she reached out and slapped Xiahou Xi's calf.

Xiahou Xi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her calf, as if pricked by needles, so painful that she involuntarily pulled her leg back and stopped stepping on Tang Haishan.

Jiang Si smiled even more brightly and charmingly, and said to Lin Shuixiu, "Aunt Xiahou, this is your son. The young man is very handsome and tall. You are so lucky!"

Even if a mother's child is a troublemaker, she can't see it and always thinks her own child is the best.

Especially those mothers who favor sons over daughters and feel that there is an empire to inherit in the family, when they hear others praise their sons, they feel as if they have drunk honey or won the lottery. They want the whole world to know that their sons are the best and the most outstanding!

Lin Shuixiu instantly felt like she had found her people: "Young lady, you're so good at talking! I also feel lucky. Let me tell you, my son, Tang Haishan, is 19 years old this year. He's a cadet at the Sixth Military Academy, with A-level physical fitness and level 2 mental strength!"

"The doctors who examined him for genetic disorder all said that someone as talented as him, once he grows up a bit and his mental strength gets stronger, will have no problem with water, fire, ice, or lightning-based superpowers!"

Jiang Si gasped dramatically, her mouth slightly agape, her face full of admiration: "Wow, really? Your son is so outstanding! His Highness Agares has lightning-type abilities. If your son also possesses lightning-type abilities, he'll be a candidate for the next marshal!"

A beautiful tall hat fell from the sky and was placed on Tang Haishan's head.

Not only was Lin Shuixiu happy, but Tang Haishan was even happier. In his happiness, he took a liking to Jiang Si, who was full of admiration for him.

He got up from the ground, dusted himself off, shook his punk-style hair, and said to Jiang Si, who was squatting on the ground, with his nose in the air, "Whose daughter are you? I've taken a liking to you. Come with me to the breeding bank to breed a child. As long as a boy is bred, I'll marry you!"
