Chapter 875: United Brothers, Unbreakable Strength 2
Chapter 875: United Brothers, Unbreakable Strength 2
Because Lu Xiangru wasn’t there, Mo Yinhe thought, he needed to speak alone with that child later.
Xi Lei, Bo Fengyin, and Su Chaoyang, the three little dragons, were puzzled, their eyes collectively looking at Ye Nianbai, Ye Jingzhe, Gu Shurong, Sheng Liangliang, and Yun Xiaosu.
Their eyes seemed to say: How did you guys provoke dad?
Seeing Ye Nianbai, Ye Jingzhe, and Gu Shurong munching on barbecue, could it be that they competed for the meat?
Bo Fengyin was very angry: Humph, you three snatched the barbecue, causing this dragonling to be hit lying down?
Su Chaoyang was also displeased, asking in a childish voice: "Dad, I’ve always loved my brothers dearly, but we can’t just not compete, that would let uncle down for his upbringing, wouldn’t it?"
Xi Lei also chimed in: "Exactly, uncle said we should have a competition, how could we not compete?"
Ye Junqing put down his wine glass and asked the children: "What kind of competition?"
Su Chaoyang and Xi Lei immediately covered their little mouths, as if they had revealed something they shouldn’t, each glancing nervously at Si Lisao seated below Ye Junqing, feeling fearful.
Ye Junqing noticed the children’s gaze and followed it, directing his question at his son-in-law.
Si Lisao calmly put down his chopsticks and candidly said: "It’s not a life-or-death competition. I am nurturing the children with my brothers, hoping to select one qualified successor among them. In the future, they’ll help Mingjing manage Mu Continent. After choosing a successor, I’ll accompany Si Yuan to Atlantis to be a filial son-in-law in front of my parents-in-law. That’s all."
He said it simply, but the brothers have openly and covertly competed over this matter, insisting on proving whose child-rearing capability surpasses the others.
Si Lisao didn’t think much of it, but Mo Yinhe solemnly educated the children, probably worried that they would compete or even harm each other in the future.
Mo Yinhe’s concern isn’t unfounded; after all, when children mature, they won’t necessarily honor their mothers...
"Your education is correct." Si Lisao said these words, then stepped back from educating his son.
Mo Yinhe looked at the children with an undeniable authority, including his three daughters, without any hint of humor; the kids, adept at reading adults’ expressions, knew he wasn’t joking.
Ye Nianbai, without a competitive mind, had been nurtured by Mo Yinhe himself, and as his beloved child, discovering many siblings only wanted to get along well with them, thus he felt no pressure hearing his father’s words.
"Dad, of course, I won’t. I promise I won’t. I will."
Mo Yinhe’s firm and commanding voice held a trace of satisfaction, saying: "Good, remember what you promised tonight, a gentleman’s word is his bond, or you won’t find a bride."
Ye Nianbai’s expression changed, and he retorted: "I have Jingjing, Jingjing is my bride!"
Si Mingjing laughed, not participating in the topic.
Mo Yinhe wasn’t interested in rebutting his son either, his gaze shifted to the other children.
Though the kids were still young, he wanted each of them to promise in person, like Xiaobai did.
Ye Jingzhe, adept at gauging hearts, realized he had to speak up, and then said, "Dad, I understand. I will protect my siblings forever."
Ye Jingzhe added the word "forever."
He is the most steady child; when he says "forever," he means it, he will never forget this vow in his lifetime, he will use his life to keep his promise to protect his siblings, and he will really do that in the future.
But, that story will unfold later!
Mo Yinhe acknowledged, saying: "You are the eldest brother, you must set an example, don’t let the competition for succession cause life-and-death struggles with your siblings. I oppose unfair competition, but there must be a limit; regardless of who is chosen for their ability, there mustn’t be resentment that causes division."
Si Lisao tilted his head, giving Mo Yinhe a glance, feeling he was being insinuated!
Mo Yinhe ignored Si Lisao’s gaze, instead openly rebuking: "The precedent is right before you, don’t emulate your uncles, sitting at the same table yet forming separate factions, disliking each other. If you dare be like that in the future, you won’t be Mo Yinhe’s children!"
Si Lisao’s face tightened, not speaking, is it him wanting to form factions with his brothers?
Ye Siyuan secretly observed her husband’s face, hastily serving him some food.
Si Lisao hesitated, chewing the food his wife personally fed him, his face softened.
He and his brothers weren’t exemplary, instead of guiding the children, he fostered their competitiveness rather than mutual affection, he must self-reflect.
Recognizing the problem in their education approach, he refrained from rebutting.
Only to be scolded mercilessly by Mo Yinhe.
Bo Fengyin, wise enough not to provoke dad, proactively declared: "Dad, this dragon remembers. I read a saying, er... united siblings can conquer anything. This dragon will adhere to this principle for life, never reneging."
Mo Yinhe said: "Good, remember this saying, united siblings conquer all."
Sheng Liangliang, munching, said: "Dad, I’ll study medicine diligently, hoping to be as great as mom, if my brothers get sick, I will save them with all my strength."
Yun Xiaosu also said: "Dad, I remember too, loving one another is what makes a family, right?"
"Yes, a harmonious family brings prosperity, you are both good children."
These two daughters, like Xiaobai, without competitive spirits, were precious to Mo Yinhe.
In the end, Gu Shurong, Xi Lei, and Su Chaoyang, the little dragons, hadn’t spoken up.
Mo Yinhe’s gaze, solemn as he looked at the three children.
Gu Shurong pursed his lips, saying: "This baby doesn’t participate, this baby wants to ascend the skies. I just enjoy serving the eldest, that’s all, what’s wrong with that, dad?"
Gu Shurong, chubby but oblivious to his exclusionary behavior of bonding solely with Ye Jingzhe, doesn’t see any issue.
There isn’t any issue per se, yet his exclusivity has inadvertently pressured others into forming cliques, causing parental headaches.
Ye Jingzhe, noticing his father’s slight frown, stood up, saying: "Dad, I’ll teach Shurong. You can leave Shurong to me."
