Chapter 177 I'll take care of you for the rest of your lives
Mo Chi's expression immediately changed. "We're a legally married couple, so why can't we live together?"
Chu Rou got tired of lying down and sat up. She tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "I didn't tell my dad that we registered our marriage. I always feel like he'll beat you up. I don't know if you can take a beating."
Mo Chi fell silent, realizing he was indeed in the wrong. "Once my dad is discharged from the hospital, I'll discuss our marriage with him."
"Okay, I'll go see him in a couple of days."
Chu Rou felt much better and fell asleep shortly after hanging up the phone.
Chu Rou came downstairs for dinner.
Staying in her room all the time is no different from being hospitalized; what she needs is freedom and more space to move around.
Chu Rou planned to eat first, and then visit the Qi family's residence to help digest her food.
"Rou Rou, why did you come down? I was thinking of having someone bring your food upstairs." Qi Feiyao saw Chu Rou and hurried over to help her.
Chu Rou waved her hand, "I'm fine. If I don't move, my joints will rust."
Chu Rou looked around and saw that only Qi Feiyao was in the living room. She knew that Qi Wende and Qi Hang were busy, but she didn't know what Qi Lin was busy with.
"Aunt Qi, where's Linlin? Is she in her room?"
Mentioning Qi Lin, Qi Feiyao's face lit up with a relieved smile, "Linlin said she's going to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam, and she went to the bookstore this afternoon to buy reference books."
Qi Feiyao took Chu Rou's hand and said, "Your father and I have always spoiled Linlin too much. No one can control her. Fortunately, she met you first. Although this is our first meeting, I know a lot about you. Linlin talks about you every day."
"Linlin will be in your care from now on. She listens to you the most. You can scold or punish her as you see fit, and Auntie definitely won't say a word against her."
"Sure, Aunt Qi, you said it yourself. If Linlin cries because I hit her, you can't feel bad for her," Chu Rou said half-jokingly.
Perhaps because she was used to being the older sister, Shen Luo was raised by her from a young age. She also cared a lot about her younger sister, Qi Lin, and couldn't stand Qi Lin's lack of ambition.
Since Qi Feiyao took the initiative to ask her to discipline Qi Lin, she will definitely put in the effort and the intensity will be increased, which will be different from before because the relationship is different now.
Qi Feiyao smiled and patted Chu Rou's hand, "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely be on your side."
"Mom, sister, what are you talking about?"
Qi Lin ran in, followed by two bodyguards, each carrying two bags of books.
The bodyguard put the bag down and then left.
"I'm talking about you!" Qi Feiyao tapped Qi Lin's head. "I've entrusted you to Rou Rou; let her teach you properly."
Qi Lin put her arm around Chu Rou's. "I will definitely listen to my sister. If she tells me to go east, I will never go west."
The three women were laughing and chatting happily in the living room.
Qi Wende and Qi Hang returned together.
They went to see Grandma Chu and Chu Mingjie in the afternoon.
Qi Hang locked the Chu family mother and son in a basement that was windowless, cold, and damp.
Every day someone brings them a meal, a blanket, food, and water, so they won't freeze or starve to death, but it's a living hell.
When Grandma Chu saw Qi Wende, she lunged at him, saying, "Let us out, we want to go home."
Chu Mingjie also knelt down in front of Qi Wende, crying, "Brother, I was wrong. Please let us go back. We'll stay in our hometown and never go to the city again."
Qi Wende's face was as cold as ice. "I heard that you took all the compensation money back then and didn't leave a single penny for Manman."
Grandma Chu's eyes narrowed as she looked away, still stubbornly insisting, "How would I know if Shi Jingman is carrying your child? What if it's someone else's? Wouldn't that be using the money you earn working your life on to raise someone else's child?"
Qi Wende kicked her, saying, "You still dare to slander Manman even now? You're really tired of living."
Grandma Chu let out a "yelp" as she was kicked to the side of the bed, her head hitting the corner of the bed, and blood trickling down her temples.
"Mom!" Chu Mingjie crawled over to check on the old lady's condition; thankfully, it was just a small cut.
"Brother, how could you lay a hand on Mom? No matter what, she raised you for over twenty years."
Qi Wende sneered, guessing that the mother and son had probably manipulated him a lot in the past, to the point that he listened to the old woman in everything.
He is now glad that he has lost his memory and forgotten the mother and son, so that he no longer has to be controlled by their minds.
Qi Wende walked up to Chu Mingjie, stepped on Chu Mingjie's right hand, and said coldly, "I heard you had ulterior motives towards Manman and wanted to force yourself on her? You even dared to lay a hand on Rourou?"
"No...no!" Chu Mingjie grimaced in pain. "They're slandering me."
"What reason do they have to slander you? They wish they could stay far away from you, but what about you? You still have the nerve to ask Rou Rou for child support?"
Qi Wende withdrew his foot and sneered, "If you want child support, you'll have to come to me. I'll take care of you for the rest of your lives, provide you with housing, and make sure you have plenty to eat and drink. How about that?"
He looked up and surveyed the room. "Isn't this place nice? You're sheltered from the wind and rain, there's a bed and blankets, and a bathroom. It can definitely guarantee your living conditions."
"This is illegal detention!" Chu Mingjie shouted.
Qi Hang laughed from the side, "Didn't you claim that you were unable to work? How does providing food and lodging constitute illegal detention?"
“I can work and earn money. I have hands and feet and I can do work,” Chu Mingjie retorted.
Qi Hang shook his head. "You're gone. It's all too late."
He clapped his hands, and two bodyguards entered.
Qi Hang instructed, "Sever his tendons in his hands and feet. Don't forget to stop the bleeding and bandage him. We can't let him die; we'll have to raise him until he dies!"
"Help! Murder!" Chu Mingjie shouted, leaning back.
Qi Wende complained about the noise, "If you keep yelling, you'll lose your tongue."
Chu Mingjie immediately covered his mouth.
Grandma Chu witnessed her son's tendons being severed and fainted from fright.
Qi Wende and Qi Hang watched coldly from the side, and only left the basement after it was over.
Back home, just as they reached the door, they heard the laughter of three women inside. The father and son exchanged a glance, and their lips curled into smiles.
Qi Feiyao saw the father and son and stood up with a smile, "You're back, then we can start eating."
Qi Wende and Qi Hang didn't smell very good.
Qi Hang sniffed his sleeves, which smelled of decay and blood. He frowned. "Dad and I will take a shower first, and then we'll eat."
Qi Feiyao nodded.
Just as Qi Wende and Qi Hang went upstairs, another person came in through the door.
"Did I arrive at the perfect time?" Mo Chi swaggered in and stood next to Chu Rou. "Rou Rou, I'm hungry!"
