Chapter 48 Foolish Questions

However, the child did not actually live with them. She grew up in the countryside until the little girl was admitted to high school and came to live with them in the city. But before she could enjoy her good life for long, her younger brother was born.

Her aunt had a son late in life and doted on him. Even though he was in first grade, she still had to feed him when he came home and change his diapers at night to prevent him from wetting the bed. In addition, the little guy wasn't very healthy and got sick frequently. This only made her aunt spoil him even more.

When their daughter comes home for the weekend, her parents don't offer a single word of concern. Instead, she has to help take care of her younger brother and do housework. If she doesn't do any chores, her aunt scolds her, saying she's already so tired all day and that she shouldn't be helping out during her vacation. She's expected to do chores and look after her brother.

They said she just idles away her days and doesn't know how to be considerate of her parents at all.

Over time, her cousin stopped wanting to go back home. No matter how many times her parents called to urge her, she wouldn't go back. Later, she even proposed to drop out of school and stop studying. Her family had no idea until the school called home.

After finding out, instead of asking her why she dropped out of school, she was bombarded with insults. It turned out that her younger brother had gotten into a fight at kindergarten and injured someone. They were busy dealing with her brother's situation, and she, as the older sister, not only didn't help but also made things worse.

Unable to vent her grievances, she became even more silent. Later, she developed depression and autism. At first, her aunt thought her cousin was being dramatic and faking it, and scolded her for causing trouble all the time, saying she didn't have time for her. But after her cousin almost died, her aunt began to take her seriously and start caring for her.

But by then it was too late. The emotional wounds are hard to heal. Lu Jinyan remembers most clearly a sentence her colleague once said: her cousin called her crying, saying that she was so tired of living and felt like she was superfluous.

She said that in the past, no one celebrated her birthday, but later she did. However, it wasn't for her. Because her birthday and her brother's birthday are one day apart, her mother would always buy a cake and celebrate on her brother's birthday, and would invite her to join in, saying it was to celebrate the birthdays of the siblings.

But in fact, that day was not her birthday at all; her birthday was the day before!

Therefore, in families with many children, it is rare for anyone to treat them all equally. They will always subconsciously favor one child while neglecting the other.

Mo Xuan and Mo Chen are like this. Mo Xuan's parents think that Mo Xuan is physically weaker and needs more attention and love, while Mo Chen is healthy and can be allowed to grow on his own. You might think this idea is wrong, but it's not entirely wrong either.

However, no matter what adults think, children don't think that way. After all, they are still children, and some things are formed from a young age that are difficult to change when they grow up.

"Yes, he's in poor health and needs your care, but what about me? What have I done wrong? Is it my fault that he's in poor health? If I could, I would rather switch bodies with him, I would rather be the one with poor health, not him!"

I am their child too, Aunt Ru. You are my wet nurse too. I also need your care and love. From childhood to adulthood, I have tried my best in everything, just hoping that you can praise me.

And what was the result? No matter how well I did, you couldn't see me, while he? He just casually learned a small spell, and you all praised him, bought him gifts, and what about me? What about me?

Mo Chen was almost hysterical. He was really wronged and really hated. He hated Mo Xuan for taking away the love that belonged to him. He hated his father for being useless, caring about nothing, and only caring about his mother. He would do anything as long as his mother was happy.

He also hated his mother. He was her child, whom she had carried for ten months. He studied so hard and tried to do everything perfectly, but she just couldn't see him.

He hated everyone, hated that they would never see his efforts and hard work. He also hated himself, wondering why he was so useless. He was unwilling to accept this.

Mo Chen laughed almost maniacally, spitting blood as he laughed, tears streaming down his face. Lu Jinyan felt a pang of heartache at the sight.

"Host, stay away from him, this person seems a bit strange!" The system's sudden reminder startled Lu Jinyan.

She subconsciously looked at Mo Chen, and it did seem a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Mo Xuan, look, something seems off about him," Lu Jinyan whispered to Mo Xuan beside her.

Mo Xuan kept a straight face and his head down, and it was unclear what he was thinking. But when he heard Lu Jinyan's words, he immediately looked up at Mo Chen, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

Mo Chen struggled to sit up. Although Aunt Ru had reduced the force of her blow, he had still suffered internal injuries, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth as he moved.

He coughed and laughed at the same time, until he was almost too weak to continue laughing: "Mo Xuan, this time, you won!"

After Mo Chen finished speaking, he raised his left hand, and Lu Jinyan saw a look of relief in his eyes.

"No! Chen'er, stop!" Lu Jinyan was about to speak when she heard Bai Ru exclaim in alarm. Bai Ru then flashed to Mo Chen's side and, before Lu Jinyan could even see clearly, knocked him unconscious.

You read that right, she was knocked unconscious. Lu Jinyan was completely bewildered. This...

"You scared me to death, host! You have no idea, that person just tried to self-destruct his demon core! It was terrifying! He has a tendency to self-destruct!" the system muttered softly.

"Self-destructing demon core? Wait, demon core?" Lu Jinyan was startled and suddenly remembered that they were all demons, so they should all have demon cores!

But. . .

She seemed, as if, not...

"Yeah, even a great immortal can't save someone who self-destructs their demon core. It's terrifying. This person is too extreme!" the system muttered over there.

"System, do all demons have demon cores?"

"Yeah!" Lu Jinyan suddenly asked this out of the blue, which confused the system. Demons have demon cores!

"Then, do I have one?" Lu Jinyan asked cautiously, because she really didn't remember having one.

"Isn't that obvious? You're a demon now, of course you have a demon core. Without it, you would have died long ago. And it's not just you, Chu Chu has one too!"

The system looked at Lu Jinyan with an expression as if she were an idiot. Had she gone mad with fear? What kind of questions were those?!
