Chapter 290 Conflict

[Did I say something wrong? Why are you crying? It makes me want to cry too. ]

After hearing Xia Zhiliao's thoughts, everyone calmed down a little.

Only then did Old Mrs. Xia wave her hand, and the couple hurried away.

The boys of the Mu family stood at the door and watched for a long time. Finally, it was the eldest brother Mu Zhuolin who spoke, "Go back. Remember what Dad said. We must study hard and not slack off."

There were more children in the family, including the three Xia Jiang brothers and Xiao Zhi, so Wei Rong thought about inviting a teacher back to teach him the literary subjects, and also the martial arts subjects for himself and his son.

As soon as he said this, Xia Zhiliao agreed with him.

[Grandpa Wei really understands me. I think so too. It’s OK for more children to study outside, but it’s more convenient for them to stay at home.]

As soon as Mrs. Xia heard this, she agreed, and she was also very moved. Wei Rong treated these children as his own grandchildren and only wanted good things for them.

"Sir, you need to treat me. This money..."

"My parents are gone. There are four children in our family. In addition to my second brother, there is also my third brother."

In fact, it doesn't cost much to hire a gentleman, and it is not a big deal for the several branches of the Xia family. However, Old Mrs. Xia thinks it is better to make things clear first to avoid nagging later.

She was about to nod, but Cheng Han said, "Mom, how can we let our second brother and his wife go out? Our child will have to study in two years."

"Aunt San, you can divide it when my brother is in school."

Cheng Han smiled. Although Xia Jinheng didn't have the same way as his brothers to make money, they could still afford the money.

"The Third Family, Zhiliao is right. Right now, the second family has several students studying. It won't be too late to share the burden when your child goes to school in the future. This is fair."

"Then we will pay for it ourselves." Mu Zhuolin said.

Old Madam Xia took a look and thought about how Wei Rong treated his own grandchildren. She wanted to treat the Mu family's children in the same way. "I'll pay for your expenses."

"No!" Mu Zhuolin refused, and the others nodded. "What you just said is fair. How can we brothers pretend to be confused?"

Old Mrs. Xia was stunned for a moment. "Your father placed you in this family, so I naturally have to take good care of you."

“But we have to pay for this.”

Even though Mu Zhanpeng is an official, when it comes to wealth, he is no match for the Xia family.

After all this trouble, he left money for the children, but who knows when he will come back and how long it will take.

Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes and said, "Grandma, he is right. If we want to be fair, then you can't pay for it."

"I know..."

Xia Zhiliao smiled and looked at the old lady, "Didn't the aunt leave some money for them? Just deduct it from that."

[Grandma, you should understand what I mean, right? ]

Old Mrs. Xia was just wondering when Jinxiu would leave her money, as she was afraid that her own money might not be enough.

But after hearing what the little girl said, she changed her mind and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. Your Aunt Xia left some money for you."

"We don't want her money!" said Mu Zhuolin.

"Why not? She is your mother in name now, so it is reasonable for her to give you money." Xia Zhile said.

Mu Zhuoxuan nodded, "Yes, big brother, Aunt Xia is so kind, so we shouldn't be polite. When we grow up and have a promising future, we should repay her well."

Mu Zhuolin felt a little awkward, but the rest of his brothers all listened to him. Only Mu Zhuoxuan, who had a good relationship with Xia Jinxiu, stood on the same side with Xia Zhiliao.

The matter of hiring a gentleman has been settled. The next step is to find a good gentleman, and of course, I have to choose one carefully.

This was naturally handed over to Xia Jinjun. Since it was related to the children, he did not dare to be careless. After meeting a few people, he decided on an older one who had experience and some fame in the capital. Mr. Li was not difficult to find, and he came after paying enough money.

Xia Zhiliao also started to study with her brothers every day. She was naturally unwilling to do so. She was a university graduate in modern times. She had to start from scratch and study for another ten years. It was really going to drive her crazy.

She pretended to sleep that day, and Princess Yi Yang felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she didn't let her go.

Unexpectedly, just one day after they were away, the boys from the Mu family and the brothers from the Xia family started fighting.

They are at the age of being troublemakers in their teens, and they will start fighting over a disagreement.

If they were brothers from the same family, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the identities of the Mu brothers are special.

They and the Xia family were not originally a family, but they were just formed.

When Old Lady Xia went over, the fight was already over. Although the Mu family had many brothers and the Xia family only had two, they still won.

They had learned martial arts before and had been practicing it all the time. Now they could easily beat up a few adults, let alone kids of the same age as them.

Old Lady Xia held her forehead with her hand and said, "Oh my God, why are they fighting again?"

The boys remained silent.

She sighed, and Mr. Li was so angry that he jumped up and down. The situation got out of control just now and he almost got into trouble.

"Who started it first?" asked Old Lady Xia.

Several people were silent.

"Since you won't tell me, then don't eat tonight. Just stand there."

They just stood there, the boys still disliked each other.

This is normal. Brothers often fight with each other, let alone other people's brothers.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Mu Zhuoxuan looked at his brothers pitifully.

The second oldest, Mu Zhuojun, was somewhat indignant. “Why should we not eat just because she told us not to? Maybe the two from the Xia family are eating right now.”

"Second brother, Grandma Xia is not that kind of person."

"You say it's not true, so it's not true? You can only be fooled if you are so stupid."

Mu Zhuoxuan sighed, "If you guys hadn't fought, I wouldn't have been implicated."

It's not that he is disloyal, he is just really hungry.

"Why are we fighting? It's because we're worried that you'll be bullied. You're such an ungrateful bastard. I really love you for nothing."

Mu Zhuoxuan stopped talking.

"Alright, Zhuo Xuan is weak and can't starve. We were the first to do this, so we were wrong."

Mu Zhuolin said, "We will still stay in this house in the future."

"What's so great about it? Do we have to be bullied?" Mu Zhuofeng said, "One has to bow his head under the eaves, but we can just move out. If we're not with them, we don't have to worry about their expressions."

"They really didn't bully me, brothers, you misunderstood."

Mu Zhuoxuan tried to explain, but no one listened.

"That's right. We shouldn't have troubled them in the first place. I'll go tell the old lady of the Xia family that we brothers will move out."
