Old Master Chi is now filled with regret. What he regrets is that, knowing his eldest daughter was no good, why did he still protect her in the first place?
"Grandfather, please don't be angry. Your health isn't good either!"
Seeing Grandpa Chi trembling, Chi Qingqing was filled with worry. She knew perfectly well that without Grandpa Chi and the others, she would be homeless.
However, at this moment, Old Master Chi was extremely angry, and upon hearing Chi Qingqing's words, his feelings were extremely complicated.
"Hmph, if you ask me, you two are just blind old fools. You raised a complete ingrate before, and now you're keeping this little one. Be careful, in a few days, this little one will sell you out!"
Grandpa Chi's pupils contracted sharply, and he stared straight at Chi Qingqing.
Chi Qingqing flinched under his gaze: "Grandfather, I can't, I can't..."
"Your mother used to say she wouldn't! But when she ran off with our money, she didn't hold back at all!"
"If you ask me, like mother, like daughter. Chi Qingqing, you're only staying here because you have nowhere else to go, right? Once you have money here, you'll run away with it just like your mother, won't you?"
Chi Qingqing shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face: "Uncle, I can't, I can't!"
"Hehe, your mother used to say the same thing!"
Chi Hongcai sneered, staring intently at Chi Qingqing. You have to admit, although Chi Qingqing is young, she is indeed quite good-looking.
Chi Hongcai looked at the beautiful Chi Qingqing with a thoughtful expression.
When Grandpa Chi heard these words, his heart skipped a beat.
The two elderly people still harbored some resentment towards their granddaughter, Chi Qingqing.
"Father, don't forget that I am your son. Don't you want me to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die?"
"Your grandson hasn't eaten for days. Give me some money so I can give them a proper meal!"
"You've all learned your lesson the hard way. You wouldn't rather raise this ungrateful wretch than care for your own grandson, would you?"
...
Chi Hongcai kept rambling on, while Old Madam Chi, who had just been coughing so hard she could barely breathe, was so angry with Chi Hongcai that she almost fainted.
"You, you unfilial son, get out of here!"
Madam Chi pointed at Chi Hongcai and roared.
"Hmph, if I leave, who will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days?"
Chi Hongcai sneered. These two old geezers only had him as their son. If he were driven away as well, even if they died, no one would come to deal with them.
"Get out! Get out of here! Cough cough cough..."
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Grandpa Chi picked up his cane and swore at Chi Hongcai again.
"Hmph, if you drive me away, don't expect me to come back!"
"You really dare to let me leave?"
"Don't think about me after you're all dead..."
Hearing the unfilial son's cursing, Old Madam Chi's face turned ashen.
When Grandpa Chi returned, he saw her lying on the bed, her eyes lifeless. Chi Qingqing sat to the side, silently sobbing.
"Chi Qingqing, will you be like your mother?"
Grandpa Chi was physically and mentally exhausted. Neither of his two children gave him any peace of mind, and the other one didn't even want to acknowledge him.
Now, they only have Chi Qingqing by their side, and she is not an easy person to talk to.
Back then, even though they had no grudges against each other, Chi Qingqing still wanted to wipe out the entire family. It's only because the family is now broke and has no servants left, otherwise, who knows what this granddaughter would do.
"Grandfather, how could I be like Mother? Don't worry, I will always be with you!"
Grandpa Chi sighed: "Go to the kitchen and see what else you have. Make some food first."
Now that the old lady is in poor health, he has no mood to do anything else every day. Today, because of Chi Hongcai's commotion, he doesn't want to move at all.
Upon hearing that she was to go to the kitchen to cook, Chi Qingqing looked surprised. She pointed her finger at her nose and looked at Grandpa Chi in disbelief: "Grandfather, you want me to cook?"
Only then did Grandpa Chi realize that his granddaughter had been spoiled since childhood, with everything done for her, and seemed to have never been to the kitchen.
"All the servants in the manor have been sent away today. From now on, you'll have to cook and do everything yourself!"
Upon hearing that she would have to cook for herself from now on, Chi Qingqing's eyes reddened, and she looked at Grandpa Chi with a pitiful expression: "Grandpa, but I've never cooked before!"
"Come on, I'll teach you!"
Grandpa Chi felt he was a real failure; he hadn't raised any of his two children, plus his granddaughter, well.
Chi Qingqing obediently followed Grandpa Chi into the kitchen, only to find it in complete disarray when she opened the door.
"That unfilial son!"
Old Master Chi never expected that Chi Hongcai would rob the kitchen before leaving.
He walked in shakily, only to find that there was nothing edible left in the kitchen. Even the rice had been taken by that unfilial son, leaving them nothing at all!
"Grandfather, what should we do now..."
Seeing the state of their home, Chi Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they couldn't even afford to eat?
When Grandpa Chi saw the empty kitchen, he was extremely disappointed.
He shook his head, turned around, and went back into the house.
When Madam Chi saw that he had returned so quickly, she looked puzzled.
"Didn't you say you were going to cook? Why are you back so soon?"
The bedroom was quite a distance from the kitchen, so Old Madam Chi was unaware of what was happening outside.
Grandpa Chi knew his wife's health hadn't been good lately, so he didn't plan to tell her what had just happened. He would find a way to buy some more food; he couldn't let her go hungry.
"Grandmother, you have no idea how outrageous Uncle is!"
However, just because Grandpa Chi doesn't say anything doesn't mean Chi Qingqing won't say anything either.
"Chi Qingqing, shut up!"
Old Master Chi tried to stop her, but Old Madam Chi glared at him and said, "So what if it's that unfilial son?"
Hearing this, Chi Qingqing rushed in and ran to Old Madam Chi's side with a pitiful expression. While wiping her face, she said, "Uncle took everything from the kitchen. We don't know what to eat anymore!"
How could she have imagined that the once wealthy and powerful Chi family would now be unable to even afford to eat? Just moments ago, she felt sorry for herself, thinking that with all the servants dismissed and she now having to cook for herself, she was already pitiful enough.
But now, they have no food left. What are they going to do?
"What did you say? Cough cough cough..."
Madam Chi coughed violently again. She never expected that her only son would be so heartless.
"There was nothing in the kitchen; my uncle took all the food with him!"
Chi Qingqing's eyes were red from crying. She hadn't eaten much that morning. When Grandpa Chi said he was going to cook, she hadn't felt hungry yet, but when she saw there was nothing to eat, her stomach started growling.
"This unfilial son, this unfilial son!"
Madam Chi's eyes rolled back, and she completely fainted.
