However, after scolding Old Man Chi a few times, Aunt Chi felt much better.

"Hopefully, Changsheng will learn his lesson this time," Aunt Chi sighed.

Chi Tang glanced at the two empty seats and whispered, "Aren't you and your sister-in-law going to eat?"

"Yeah, they're not in the mood."

It's not a big deal to skip dinner.

So Aunt Chi didn't try to persuade her.

"What about immortality?"

"His buttocks are bruised and swollen, like a steamed bun... But your Uncle Li said it's nothing serious, just a flesh wound, but it looks scary."

Aunt Chi was listless and refused to eat any more after eating half a bowl of porridge.

Then I had to go and help An'an take a bath.

An'an's face turned as red as a big red cloth in embarrassment, and she struggled desperately: "Grandma, Grandma, I can wash it myself."

"You're injured, how can you take a bath by yourself? Grandma will help you."

"Grandma, I just hurt my head, my hand is fine, I'll be careful."

As they were talking, Aunt Chi led An'an to the kitchen, mixed hot and cold water, and quickly stripped her naked... oh, she was still wearing her underwear.

An'an covered her underwear, on the verge of tears, feeling utterly helpless: "Grandma, I'm all grown up now, I can wash myself."

He's six years old now, he can bathe himself.

Besides, this sudden display of intimacy really made An An feel quite awkward.

“No matter how old you are, you’re still Grandma’s grandson! What hasn’t Grandma seen? Are you embarrassed?”

Aunt Chi beckoned An'an over obediently.

No matter what she said, An'an refused.

In the end, Aunt Chi could only leave in frustration.

After going outside, I saw a swing set next to the rose bushes in the yard, and for some reason, I sat down on it.

This was the first time she had sat on this swing since it was installed.

Aunt Chi swayed gently, gazing into the distance, but in reality, she was lost in thought.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Chi Tang sat down next to him at some point and started swinging on the swing with him.

Aunt Chi said, "I was wondering how your maternal grandmother is doing now."

Her biological mother.

Even though I made a mistake, is it really okay for me to just walk away like this without thinking...?

I can't help but keep thinking about it.

“Mother, don’t worry. My aunt is a very thoughtful person and won’t be picky about my grandmother’s food and drink. Besides, you spoke to my aunt before we left, and she understands.”

Chi Tang tried to persuade him.

Before leaving the capital, Aunt Chi had a good talk with Madam Yang.

It's about the matter concerning Madam Yang.

Aunt Chi said she was very sorry for the harm caused to Sister Zhuang, and that the old lady's dowry was all with her. She would take out a portion in the old lady's name and leave it for Sister Zhuang as her future dowry.

They also expressed their understanding of Madam Yang's behavior and feelings, and agreed to discipline the old lady.

However, she is getting on in years, and we hope that Madam Yang can be more tolerant.

Of course, that's not all there is to it.

There were other unexpected things, such as the fact that they wouldn't stand idly by if something really happened to the old lady. This might have sounded like a threat to Madam Yang.

In addition to compensating Sister Zhuang, Aunt Chi would also give half of the old lady's dowry to the Yang family's descendants.

The meaning is quite clear.

That is to use the old lady's own dowry to exchange for the Yang family's forgiveness towards her.

Madam Yang agreed, saying that she would have enough food and clothing and that someone would take care of her, but she would no longer indulge her temper.

“I know all that, but I always feel that I didn’t even get to see your grandmother once before I left, and that’s a little…”

To put it bluntly, Aunt Chi was worried that Old Madam Yang would blame her, and she also felt somewhat guilty.

But if you really ask her to go, will she really go?

No, it won't.

Aunt Chi knew this, and Chi Tang knew it too, so Chi Tang didn't say anything like she would visit him again after going to the capital.

She thought for a moment before saying, "Mother, this is the best outcome. You're a bit soft-hearted, Mother. If you go to see them..."

My grandmother is crying and begging to come here with you, what will you do? She keeps going in circles, wanting everything to be the same as before, what will you do then?

Madam Yang's final resting place could only be in the Yang family mansion.

Whether it was out of responsibility to Sister Zhuang, or for the sake of longevity, and considering Sister Chi's feelings, Aunt Chi could not bring Old Madam Yang out, nor could she overstep her bounds.

Most importantly, Aunt Chi disapproved of Madam Yang's actions from the start.

If this mother and daughter are forced to live together, even the slightest bit of their mother-daughter bond will likely be worn away.

"well."

“If Mother misses Grandmother, we can visit her every now and then, right? We can bring Changsheng and the others along so Grandmother can enjoy some family time.”

"That works too."

After figuring things out, Aunt Chi felt much better. She and Chi Tang went to apply medicine to An An, and then played with An An for a while before going back to sleep.

but……

"Auntie, Tangtang, you can't go to sleep now. Auntie, your health isn't good, and Tangtang, you love sweets too much. You both need to exercise."

"Therefore, I will teach you a set of boxing techniques. Practice them for one hour each in the morning and evening; it will greatly benefit your health."

Huo Chenyi stopped the mother and daughter.

He looked at the chubby Chi Tang, and his disapproving gaze fell on Aunt Chi.

How can we not take care of Tangtang?

Aunt Chi felt a little guilty, so she immediately agreed: "That's great, Chenyi, you teach well, and Auntie will definitely teach Tangtang well."

"Huh? I'm still so small, I'm growing. I'll lose weight when I grow up."

Chi Tang made excuses for herself.

Huo Chenyi said with an iron face: "The little pig probably thought the same way when it was a baby. That's why you see which little pig doesn't grow up to be fat?"

Chi Tang stared wide-eyed innocently: "Brother Chenyi, are you calling me a pig?"

Did she hear that right?

Huo Chen coughed twice: "I'm just giving you an example to illustrate the point. You need to work hard now, not postpone it for a few years."

"Waaaaah, Brother Chenyi said I'm a pig, I'm so sad, I need to rest for a bit."

Chi Tang pretended to cry as she walked, but before she knew it, someone grabbed her from behind and lifted her up.

Seeing this scene, Aunt Chi could hardly bear to look at it.

Looking at it this way, her daughter really is round and chubby...so fat!

"Tangtang." Huo Chenyi looked at Chi Tang with his purple eyes.

Even though he didn't say anything profound, just looking into his eyes made Chi Tang feel like he was being affectionate, and she immediately softened.

"Okay, then Brother Chenyi, you want to..."

"Grandma, little brother! My second uncle wrote a letter!" Silang's excited voice came from afar.

Since Chi Erchuan took office, he has only sent a letter about once every two months.

But the last letter was clearly written half a month ago. Could something have happened?

Aunt Chi's expression changed, and she immediately went over.
