Chapter 6: Living in the Shack Together

Oh my~, the system confirmed it; she guessed right.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Seeing his mother looking like she was about to cry, Bai Anyan, holding a bowl of water, turned pale with fright.

'Father the Juren is gone, the house is going to be gone too, and now only Mother is left. God bless, please don't let anything happen to her.'

Bai Yunxi looked at him, listening to her second son's inner thoughts. Seeing his worried expression, she finally felt a little comforted. At least this second son was different from that ingrate of an eldest son; he wasn't wishing for her death.

Unfortunately, this second son wasn't favored by the original owner, who thought he was tongue-tied and useless at everything except farming, a disgrace to the Bai family descendants.

Little did she know, all the grain the family ate was grown by the second son and his wife.

"I'm fine. Besides this courtyard, I remember we still have three shacks on the west side of the village. We'll use this courtyard to pay off the debts, and our whole family will move to the west side to stay temporarily."

"What? Our whole family is going to live in shacks?"

Bai Anchen had just walked in with a doctor and heard this. His eyes widened again, and he stared in disbelief at his mother, who was leaning against the bed.

'Has Mother gone mad? Can people even live in those shacks? If I move in there, won't the whole village laugh their heads off?'

Bai Yunxi looked at him and sneered, "You are the eldest son of the family. Tell me, what should we do next?"

You scoundrel, sooner or later I'll kick you out to live on your own.

[System warning, warning... It is forbidden to abandon any child.]

Bai Yunxi looked at the electronic screen and nearly vomited blood. What was the point of having such an unfilial son? He’d be the death of her, and there was no inheritance to be had.

[Host task: Reform your children to be united and upward-striving, and establish good values. Reward: Points.]

[Successfully reforming eldest son Bai Anchen rewards 50 points.]

[Successfully reforming second son Bai Anyan rewards 20 points.]

[Successfully reforming third daughter Bai Anjing rewards 10 points.]

[Successfully reforming fourth son Bai Anyi rewards 30 points.]

[Successfully reforming fifth son Bai Ansheng rewards 40 points.]

[In addition, the host receives 1 point for daily check-ins.]

[Points can be used to exchange for items in the virtual mall.]

Bai Yunxi was about to complain when she saw a statistical table suddenly appear on the virtual electronic screen.

[Host: Bai Yunxi.]

[Task: Reform five children.]

[Points: 1.]

[Exchangeable items: 0.]

[Storage locker: 0.]

Looking from top to bottom, among the five, Bai Anchen was the hardest to reform.

Bai Yunxi was very curious: if she abandoned Bai Anchen, what would the system do?

[The host will be erased.]

Bai Yunxi: "..."

Damn it, why make her reform a selfish, self-interested piece of trash? A man who has been a mere student for ten years.

Stared at by his mother's look of disdain, Bai Anchen's face flushed red.

"...Son's meaning is that there are idle houses in the village, we could temporarily rent one to live in."

"Heh~, do you have money?"

He didn't even have the money to hire a doctor for his mother, yet he had money to rent a house?

Bai Anchen choked, glancing at the doctor who had followed him in. He looked embarrassed, with a mix of shame and annoyance.

'He opposed hiring the doctor just now; Mother must be angry.'

For a son who wanted his own mother to kick the bucket, Bai Yunxi really didn't want to give him a pleasant look.

Forget being angry; she was utterly disgusted. If the system didn't forbid abandonment, she would have kicked him out of the house today.

"Since you have no money, then behave yourself. As the eldest son, you must lead your brothers to work together and overcome these difficulties."

"Yes."

Bai Anchen lowered his eyes, responding softly.

'If he could, he really wouldn't want these brothers. Aside from holding him back, they couldn't help him with anything.'
