The Legitimate Eldest and Youngest

Born into a prominent family in Jiangnan, Gu Qigui was the youngest son of the eldest branch's eldest son. Half his life was decided for him from the moment he was born, and he was pretty happy about it. A lifetime of comfort and security sounded nice. Unfortunately, his mother was determined to make him a success.

Madam Gu: Shunbao, start with the Three Character Classic. You mustn't fall behind others.

Gu Qigui, crawling on his mat, retreats.

Madam Gu: Shunbao, it's time to study the Four Books. You mustn't fall behind others.

Gu Qigui, sucking his finger and thinking deeply, is silent.

The problem Madam Gu worried about every day: Her son was already rather slow. What would happen if he started learning things later than everyone else?

Until one day, Gu Qigui reached the pinnacle of life.

A lady from another family asked Madam Gu for advice on raising children. "My son was so slow as a child. His father and I had to be really strict with him." (proud expression)

The people Gu Qigui had intellectually crushed: Your son is slow? Slow?! Slow?! (spits blood, collapses, and dies of rage)
