Chapter 438: The Mo Family Probably Can’t Afford To Raise So Many Children!

But later on, he had always been busy, working and taking care of the older folks. Besides his medical skills, his calligraphy and painting had not improved.

Now that Gu Yunshuang was home and Gu Qingyao provided them with food, he had more time, so he picked up these skills again.

The atmosphere of learning in the home was so dense that even Gu Yunshuang became more diligent.

The new year was approaching and Mo Chengxu and Mo Chengrui came over to play. Both of them were shocked when they saw Mu Mu!

But Gu Qingyao had instructed them not to mention this to their grandmother. When their younger uncle got back, they would tell him first.

Mo Chengrui was older and slightly more mature. Mo Chengxu did not understand. He had taken a liking to Mu Mu, who looked just like him, and they were playing together before long.

But the two children were especially obedient. Since Gu Qingyao had asked them not to mention it for now, they obeyed her and waited for Mo Beihan to come home.

Even Jiang Xun had not expected that the child who looked just like Mu Mu would be Gu Qingyao’s fiancé’s nephew.

He was not familiar with the Qing River and Southern Lake Brigades. They had sought refuge in the Poplar Brigade and had stayed there for about three years. He was busy every day, trying to fill their stomachs and raise his younger brothers. He had no time to learn about his surroundings.

He only knew the Poplar Brigade a little better.

When he was here last year, he had seen a child who looked just like Mu Mu. He had his suspicions, so he had gone to the Qing River Brigade to try to get some information.

But Mu Mu and his brothers were all children and had no means of defense. It would be all right if they met good people, but if they met a bad person, then they were finished.

So he did not dare to reveal too much before he figured out the situation.

He had thought of walking around the area to see if he could run into the child. Then he could secretly observe the child’s family situation.

But he had never run into Little Xu.

Now that he had brought Mu Mu to seek medical help, he found out that the child belonged to the Mo family and lived in the Southern Lake Brigade. His father had passed away and his mother had run away long ago.

Jiang Xun was thrown into depression when he found out about the Mo family’s situation!

The Mo family had two children and no parents. Only an ailing grandmother. They all depended on their younger uncle to support them.

The younger uncle was still young and had not yet married Gu Qingyao. When they got married, they would have their own children.

A household like that had too many burdens. Even if Mu Mu and Little Xu were really cousins, the Mo family certainly could not support Mu Mu and Jiang Jing.

Especially since Mu Mu and Jiang Jing’s background might be embarrassing.

Now, Jiang Xun suspected that his uncle might be Old Master Mo’s illegitimate son or his brother’s son.

Unless everything was just a coincidence, and they happened to look alike without being related.

But if they were related, he suspected that Mu Mu and Jiang Jing would be closely related to the two Mo family children.

That would be embarrassing!

Jiang Xun’s brothers also comprehended some of it. Even Mu Mu, who was the youngest, knew how serious the situation was.

The brothers had been bullied since they were young and had drifted here. Heaven had protected them, which was why they had survived until now. They were well-versed in the fickleness of human nature from a young age. They were well aware of the circumstances.

Jiang Xun was heartbroken. He could tell that Mu Mu really liked Gu Qingyao. The child had been motherless since he was young. Now, as a young child, he longed for a mother.

If he belonged to the Mo family, then Gu Qingyao would really be like a mother to him. A pity that there was little hope for this.

How could the Mo family raise so many children?
