Qin Aiguo was furious, and his gaze towards Qin Yue turned hostile. Qin Xiaoxiao was very familiar with that look; it was the kind of look that seemed to want to kill the other person.

Qin Feng, watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh. "Dad, why are you arguing with a child like this? You know what kind of person he is. He's just stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be last in the class every year."

Mentioning this made Qin Aiguo's heart ache even more.

The Qin family members aren't exactly known for their intelligence, but they certainly don't struggle with their studies. All of their grandsons graduated from high school early and started school at a young age, carrying their little schoolbags alongside teenagers. They were much shorter than the older kids, but even so, they never faltered when it came to exams, consistently ranking among the top in their grade. But why is it that everything changes when it comes to their granddaughter?

Qin Aiguo then looked at Qin Xiaoxiao.

Fortunately, this eldest granddaughter is a good student and graduated from high school. Her youngest son said that she often ranks among the top students in her grade.

Qin Aiguo was unaware that while the original owner of this body had indeed excelled in her studies, things had changed with Qin Xiaoxiao...

Fate has destined all the granddaughters of the Qin family to be academic failures; this is something that cannot be changed, and Qin Xiaoxiao is powerless to change it.

To be honest, she was incredibly lucky to get into university in her past life. She barely made it in; who would have thought she was right on the provincial college entrance exam cutoff score?

Back then, she applied to so many schools and majors, but only the last school she applied to accepted her. This was because a large number of students ahead of her did not perform well and were preparing to retake the exam. One of the students at the school that accepted her suddenly won the lottery and went abroad. She was willing to be transferred to another school, otherwise she would not have had a chance.

The past is too painful to recall, and Qin Xiaoxiao doesn't intend to think about it anymore, otherwise she'll definitely have a heart attack.

Qin Yue scratched her head, took two steps back, and sat at the very back of the kang (a heated brick bed), away from Qin Aiguo.

Qin Feng then shifted his gaze back to Qin Xiaoxiao's face. "I heard you did something big this morning, getting your squad leader to help you with some work?"

Qin Xiaoxiao tensed up and looked back at Qin Feng with a wistful expression.

"How did you know, sir?"

Qin Feng's face darkened. "How did you know? I saw it myself. Qin Xiaoxiao, you're something else! You don't do your own work and make the squad leader do it for you. Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

Qin Yue immediately replied instinctively, "Then you can't get up there."

Qin Feng's face darkened even more. Qin Xiaoxiao immediately realized she had said the wrong thing. She kicked off her shoes and scrambled over to Qin Yue's side, where they sat down side by side.

Two innocent, big eyes blinked as they looked at Qin Feng and Qin Aiguo, looking incredibly cute, making the father and son clutch their hearts.

Oh my, I can't stand it, their kids are so cute!

Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's discomfiture, Su Yun, who had been watching the whole thing, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

She tugged at Qin Ye's sleeve, signaling him to look towards Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yue.

Qin Ye glanced up and quietly grabbed his wife's hand, lowering his voice to say, "Don't be fooled by these two little rascals. They're not innocent. They're very clever."

They just didn't use their intelligence in the right way; they're all cunning and sly.

Su Yun rolled her eyes at Qin Ye. "How can you talk about your own sisters like that? I think both of my sisters are very cute. Most importantly, it's rare to find two sisters with such pure hearts, especially Xiao Xiao. She's so old but still acts like a child. I wonder if her children will be like her."

If it's the same... Qin Ye, tell me, how exhausted is Su Lu?

Before the baby was even born, Su Yun was already worried about Su Lu.

Qin Ye rolled his eyes. "He'd be happy to. If it's a boy, that's fine, but if it's a girl, Su Lu will probably spoil the child rotten."

"That's true. Girls are so much better—soft, gentle, obedient, and well-behaved. Boys are like monkeys, always jumping around and never still; they're too much of a hassle."

Su Yun thought about it and realized that the boys in the village were all quite mischievous. But if a boy wasn't born in the countryside, who would go to the fields to earn work points?

Su Yun wasn't sexist; she liked girls too. But that's just how reality is. Without a son in the family, what would happen when her husband got old and couldn't work anymore? Would they rely on a girl to support the family?

That would be so tiring; she couldn't bear to do that.

Thinking about it this way, it would be best to have a boy in the family. No need for more, one is enough. Then, if we have a girl, we can have a boy and a girl to make a perfect family.

When the children grow up, the boys will work in the fields to earn work points to support the family, and the girls will be dressed up beautifully and held in my arms, kissing and cuddling. Just thinking about those days makes me happy.

Su Yun's expression softened as she thought about this, and Qin Ye, seeing her grinning foolishly, smiled along with her.

"Are you thinking about whether we'll have a boy or a girl in the future? Don't think about it. Whatever we have is predestined. I'll love any child you give birth to."

Qin Ye held Su Yun's hand tightly, gazing at her with deep affection, making Su Yun feel embarrassed.

Qin Xiaoxiao had been watching the two of them for quite a while. It was one thing for them to talk about her right in front of her, the person involved, but it was another to be fed dog food in the middle of the day before she had even eaten. This was just too much.

Qin Xiaoxiao tapped the heated brick bed with her finger. "Hey, hey, that's enough. We haven't even eaten yet, and you've already filled us up."

Qin Ye looked up and glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao, then turned to Qin Feng and said, "Dad, your approach isn't strong enough. Xiaoxiao doesn't listen to you and keeps talking back."

Qin Ye's blatant attempt to sow discord between Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Xiaoxiao stunned her. She stared at Qin Ye in disbelief, "Brother, you've gone astray."

Qin Ye didn't even look at Qin Xiaoxiao. "Dad, Xiaoxiao's behavior is unacceptable. How can she let the squad leader help with the work? If the villagers see this, they'll say that our Qin family is bullying others by abusing our power."

Qin Feng nodded. "That's exactly what I mean. This matter can't just be left like this. Here's what we'll do: you and Xiaoyue can skip lunch. Anyway, you're not doing any work, it won't take much effort..."

Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, he was hit on the back of the head.

Grandma Qin glared at Qin Feng as if he were her father's killer. "Say that again? Come on, tell me what you mean by not doing any work and not exerting any effort, so you don't need to eat."

You don't go to the fields or do any work, so you don't need to eat lunch either, to avoid wasting food.

After finishing her sentence, Old Mrs. Qin gave Qin Aiguo a sinister look and asked, "What do you think?"

Qin Aiguo had no choice but to agree, and immediately betrayed his son, saying, "Wife, you're right. He doesn't work either, so he doesn't need to eat so much. We can save the food to exchange for candy for Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyue, so they can have something sweet."

These two children are so filial. They even gave me a piece of candy just now. I haven't been able to rely on my three sons for so many years, and I haven't been able to eat a single thing from them. Now that I'm old, I'm eating the filial piety of my granddaughters.

Sigh, what's the point of having sons? They're all a money pit. It's better to have daughters. It's just a pity I wasn't born with a daughter, but thankfully I have two granddaughters who are filial to me.

When Qin Aiguo looked at Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yue, his eyes were overflowing with affection, but it only lasted for a moment. Then the old man looked away and looked at his wife ingratiatingly.
