Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Josh was momentarily taken aback as he tried to recall, realizing that he had never visited his great uncle’s grave before. He understood that a great uncle refers to a brother of one’s grandfather or grandmother.

With this clarification, Josh concluded that his grandfather’s uncle should be referred to as either “uncle” or “great-uncle”,

When Josh realized his confusion, he could not figure out which specific uncle his grandma was referring to. His lack of familiarity with family relationships left him feeling dizzy and uncertai

Seeking clarification, Josh asked, “Grandma, which uncle are you talking about?”

Bettany, who had casually mentioned it as an excuse, hadn’t thought it through and now silently acknowledged her oversight. She replied, “I mean your grandfather’s uncles.”

Josh had a sudden realization, “Ah, so today marks the anniversary of the passing of our two ancestors! Grandma, you mentioned that I got confused with the term ‘elder uncle. Why didn’t you simply refer to Grandpa’s uncle and great-uncle, and what about the elder uncle?”

They only had younger uncles, not older ones. The distinction lay in the age, not in the uncle relationship. That was why Bettany was confused.

Bettany was in the middle of eating when she glanced at him, remarking, “Seems like you don’t wanna eat anymore, huh?”

Josh’s hair stood on end, and he hastily grabbed his bowl of rice, saying, “I’ll eat, I’ll eat, I’ll eat.”

Bettany spoke softly, “Remember, Don’t talk while you’re eating, and no talking while sleeping.”

Josh refrained from saying anything further, as he constantly had a sense that his grandma might unexpectedly lunge at him with her bare hands.

Zachary finished tidying up and went downstairs, while a drowsy Hannah joined them. shortly afterward.

Drake and Anthony followed behind, engaged in a hushed conversation, and a flicker of surprise crossed Anthony’s eyes.

Still groggy, Hannah’s first question was, “Where’s Lilly?”

Hannah responded with a soft “Oh,”

After the meal, Hannah and Zachary prepared to head to school but noticed that their two older brothers did not have to go.

Hannah’s eyes widened, and she asked, ‘Why aren’t you going to school?”

Drake remained seated at the table and calmly explained. “We’re going to pay a visit to our uncle’s grave,”

Upon hearing the mention of their great-uncle and the plan to visit the grave, Hugh raised his eyebrows in confusion. Why was he unaware of this?
