Li Qinglang continued, “After all, I'm a boy. A little hards.h.i.+p is nothing to me. But you're a girl. Marriage is for life, so you must have a good life.”

Li Qingdan's heart ached. Her younger brother knew such things at such a tender age. It must have been… her parents who had told him.

Mo Beihan settled the Gu family and returned to the Mo house.

At the moment, school had just ended, and the children all returned home together. Now they were all in school, even Mu Mu, who was the youngest.

When they saw Mo Beihan, they chorused, “Youngest Uncle!”

Mo Beihan glanced at them and said, “Haven't I told you to address me as Second Uncle instead?”

Because his older brother, Mo Beiting, had pa.s.sed away, Mo Beihan had taken his place as the eldest grandson in the Mo family. But he was still considered to be the second grandson. Then there were his younger cousins, Mo Yunhao and Mo Wei's son, Mo Ziyan. So these children must not continue to address him as Youngest Uncle.

The children exchanged looks. They were not used to it. In the past, they trusted Youngest Uncle implicitly and only relaxed when he was around. And now, he had suddenly turned into Second Uncle. How strange!

“Second Uncle!”

Although they were not used to it, they still had to change the way they addressed him.

Mo Beihan smiled and told them to hurry up and do their homework.

At that moment, Jiang Hongying returned. She was filled with resentment at the sight of Mo Beihan. Then she saw the group of children behind him and remembered what her son had said – even if he started having children now, he still could not beat Mo Beihan as Mo Chengrui was already a teenager. Jiang Hongying felt irritated!

Her head ached every time she saw this group of children!

But she was most hostile towards Mo Beihan.

“Where have you gone? Don't you know you should tell your family before going out? Do you have any respect for me as a mother? The Mo family is not like your village. We have our rules. In the future, you must report to me before you leave the house.”

Mo Beihan raised his eyebrows. “Mo Yunhao goes out often. Does he report to you too?”

Jiang Hongying said, “Of course!”

Mo Beihan laughed. “He's so old, but he still needs to report to his mother before he does anything. Is he a nursing child?”

With that, Mo Beihan left. He could not be bothered to waste his time with this woman. She was so absurd!

When the children saw this, they hurried to their rooms to do their homework.

Jiang Hongying ground her teeth as she looked at Mo Beihan's vanis.h.i.+ng figure. The little beast. She was his elder, but he had no respect for her. She was the mistress of the Mo family! b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

He was a country b.u.mpkin. He did not know the rules.

The illegitimate sons of other families were all terrified of the mistress of the house and were very submissive. But Mo Beihan did not show her any respect at all. Jiang Hongying could not stand it. This hardened her resolve to get rid of Mo Beihan.

Lately, she had been busy looking for a suitable wife for her son. In the past, she had mostly focused on the Jiang family, but the advent of Mo Beihan was too great a threat. She had to pay more attention to this side first.

Previously, she felt that Mo Yunhao was still young. Also, she a.s.sumed that her son would take over the Mo family. As the eldest grandson of the Mo family, he could have any girl in the capital, so she had not paid much attention to this matter.

Now things were urgent. She had spent a lot of effort choosing someone that suited her.

Jiang Hongying hurried off to look for her son.
